The passionate bed scene concluded smoothly thanks to the visit from the investor Dong Shan Zhong. That afternoon, Augus performed exceptionally well, managing to get it in one take, which genuinely surprised Xinran. She had thought that with Dong Shan Zhong observing the shoot, Augus would be even more prone to mistakes than in the morning, but the opposite turned out to be true. With this matter resolved, she felt relieved and spared from further awkwardness.
The next day during filming, Chen Dao expressed his satisfaction with the scene. He continuously praised Augus's remarkable acting skills and the excellent chemistry between the two of them, repeatedly stating that they were a perfect match both on and off screen. Augus naturally smiled in agreement, while Xinran could only silently acknowledge it. She really couldn't see how they were such a perfect pair; at least in the eyes of many, she was not worthy of Augus!
After several exhausting days, the director finally granted her a few days off. During this time, she turned off her phone, not wanting to be disturbed by anyone. Those who wanted to reach her could contact Jerry or Wu Jie. As for Dong Shan Zhong, she felt she needed to calm down. She had been so busy that she hadn't realized how accustomed she had become to his frequent presence by her side. During those filming days, they had shared lunch together every day. His elegance and charm during those meals were so captivating that she felt proud of herself for not falling into his embrace; that alone showed her resilience.
"Summer, you really know how to hide away! I'm almost dead from work!" Jerry walked into Xinran's apartment and saw this woman who had exhausted him lounging comfortably on the sofa watching TV, dressed in pajamas with her smooth calves exposed and her delicate little feet flailing about. It was infuriating!
"I'm on vacation! Alright Jerry, I know you're working hard; how about I treat you to a big meal?" Xinran exclaimed as she turned around upon seeing Jerry and quickly jumped off the sofa to hug his arm.
"Hmph! It's my own fault! By the way, I came here to remind you—do you remember what tomorrow is?" Jerry rolled his eyes helplessly and shrugged.
"Tomorrow?" Xinran tilted her head in thought and suddenly shouted, "Oh my God, I almost forgot! Tomorrow is Dad's birthday! Oh Lord, I'm such an unfilial daughter! Jerry, thank goodness for you! I really love you so much!"
"Remembering counts as not being unfilial!" Jerry joked. "But what's more unfilial is that Uncle Xia called me to tell you that tomorrow at six o'clock he will hold a birthday party at Tian Lai and insists that you must attend because he has something very important to announce. Uncle Xia emphasized that even if you have work, you should cancel it; he really wants you there!"
"Something very important..." Xinran murmured. For her father, something very important could only refer to that matter. And Auntie was also keeping a close watch on her; could it be that this was why Dad chose to announce it at his birthday party?
If Dad really did that, would their home be filled with unrest from then on? In truth, she didn't care about those things; she just hoped her father could live peacefully and healthily. As an unfilial daughter who couldn't visit him often anymore, he truly didn't deserve such treatment from her!
"Xinran, are you going? Although Uncle Xia hopes for it desperately, your two detestable sisters won't let you attend your father's birthday dinner peacefully. I'm genuinely worried about you; tomorrow is the birthday of the old chairman of Xiada Group—those attending will surely be wealthy and influential people from high society. If you're bullied in such a setting, you'll quickly make headlines again; this time your entire ancestry might be dragged out into the open. Your desire to protect your mom and dad might... Moreover, your image has just started leaning towards positive; it's not a good time for negative news to break out!"
"Jerry, I'm touched that you're thinking so much about me, but I have to go tomorrow. I can't let Dad down! And don't worry; although Xia Wenyiyi and Xia Wenjing hate me deeply, they will still maintain appearances in such situations themselves. So I'll be very careful to protect myself!" Xinran nodded firmly while looking at Jerry.
"You see, sometimes you're clever, and other times you're just laughably foolish. Sigh... Remember, if you need anything, give me a call, and I'll rush to pick you up!"
"Yes, sir!" Xinran playfully saluted Jerry and stuck out her tongue.
