Stand-in Exit, Tycoon Boss Anxious Crazy

Xiang-Nuan looked at her indifferently, "What do you think?"

Zheng Xuanlin forced a laugh and shook her head, finding her own thoughts utterly ridiculous.@@novelbin@@

A month into the filming of "Strategist," Xiang-Nuan had been embedded with the crew, not venturing out again. All the promotional events for "White Poplar" had been completed before she joined the set, and there was no further need for publicity.

Moreover, Shen Yanshi hadn't sought her out again.

That was the nature of their relationship; when he didn't reach out to her, she had no right to inquire about any of his affairs.

Tao Junle couldn't help but vent to her on WeChat, "What's wrong with him? He insists on dragging you back, then leaves you hanging. He doesn't contact you or look for you. If he's lost interest, why keep you on the hook? The young master is being so unreasonable!"

Xiang-Nuan pursed her lips, "He probably just doesn't want me to break up with him."

"Men are all the same, despicable. Clearly, they're tired of the relationship too, but they can't stand being dumped. They go through all the trouble to win you back, and now he's lost interest again, huh."

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ".

"It doesn't matter. I won't have to put up with him for much longer."

Tao Junle replied quickly, "Right! Your contract with Newstar Company is almost up. Once 'Strategist' wraps up, you can kick him to the curb!"

Xiang-Nuan's agency, Newstar Company, was an entertainment media company under the Shen Group. With only two months left on her contract, and "Strategist" already halfway through, replacing the lead actress would mean reshooting and incurring huge costs, which was highly unlikely.

Her patience with Shen Yanshi would only last another two months.

Xiang-Nuan steeled her heart, immersing herself in her role, trying not to think about anything else. But her resolve didn't mean the storms would spare her.

Early that day, a piece of news shot to the top of the headlines.

"Shen Group's Young Master to Engage with Zhao Family's Daughter, Xiang-Nuan's Dreams of Wealth Shattered!"

Instantly, the anti-fans from the opposing camp swarmed out, and the mockery and ridicule towards Xiang-Nuan once again surged in popularity.

"Xiang-Nuan actually aspired to marry into the Shen family, a top-tier wealthy clan? She's nothing but a bed-warmer!"

"Ahahaha, serves her right. She tried so hard to manipulate the paparazzi into taking photos to force her way up, only to find the young master turning around to get engaged to a well-matched lady. Some people are delusional!"

"Didn't she land the role in 'Strategist' solely because of Shen Yanshi? Shouldn't they replace the lead actress now? They haven't been filming for long, so hurry up and replace her. I've had enough of her!"

Xiang-Nuan was initially unaware of this, as she had been filming a fight scene today, being chased by enemy forces into a mud pit and engaging in a desperate struggle, leaving her completely exhausted.

During the shoot, a few actors gave her strange looks, but she didn't take it to heart.

After the shoot ended, Zheng Xuanlin stormed onto the set.

"Didn't I say that any slight change in your relationship should be reported to me first?! Have you broken up? Why is he suddenly getting engaged?"

"If you had told me earlier, I could have at least prepared in advance. Now I find out about this from the news! Do you realize how passive this makes us?!"

Xiang-Nuan looked at the news of Shen Yanshi's engagement and was stunned for a long time.

The news included a photo of him and his fiancée having a candlelit dinner at a restaurant, looking very much the perfect couple under the candlelight.

She finally spoke calmly, "I didn't know."

Zheng Xuanlin's anger suddenly got stuck in her throat.

Xiang-Nuan had just rolled out of a mud pit, wearing heavy armor and completely soaked through, her complexion pale, possibly from the cold.

Shen Yanshi was getting engaged, and she, the so-called "girlfriend," had only heard about it for the first time through the news.

Zheng Xuanlin held back for a while before cursing, "That damn man!"
