Quiet moments are always easily interrupted.
Qiao Nuo had only been resting her head on Jin Chengyan's shoulder for a mere ten minutes when his phone began to ring.
The sound of the ringtone jolted her awake, and as she opened her eyes, she caught sight of Jin Chengyan silencing his phone, noticing the caller ID.
Ruan Shengyu.
Qiao Nuo knew she could no longer pretend, so she lifted her head from Jin Chengyan's shoulder.
She was aware that Jin Chengyan had a woman he cherished deeply, and that woman was Ruan Shengyu.
Yet, upon seeing this call, Jin Chengyan hesitated slightly, for Qiao Nuo's current state was not good.
"Why aren't you answering? Isn't she your girlfriend?" Qiao Nuo had already distanced herself from Jin Chengyan, as if their relationship had always been nothing more than a contract.
With Qiao Nuo saying that, Jin Chengyan had no reason not to answer.
He stood up and walked toward the window.
With his back turned to Qiao Nuo, she couldn't see his expression or know what he was saying.
The words Jin Chengyan had just spoken to her lingered in her ears; his voice was so pleasant, so soothing. He had clearly seen through her thoughts.
A woman must fear encountering such a man!
Thus, Qiao Nuo still couldn't understand why someone as exceptional as Jin Chengyan was not liked by Ruan Shengyu. Did she have someone more important or more outstanding than Jin Chengyan who loved her?
Ah, love is always so tormenting.
"I love you, you love her, she loves him, yet we cannot be with the ones we truly love!"
In a daze, Jin Chengyan had already turned away, looking as if he had made up his mind to leave.
He walked over, and before Jin Chengyan could say anything, Qiao Nuo spoke up, "You can go. I can manage here by myself; Huo Yawen can help me. Ruan Shengyu needs you even more."
Perhaps Jin Chengyan was more willing to go to Ruan Shengyu.
When Jin Chengyan looked at Qiao Nuo, there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.
"She got a little hurt while doing the stunt; she was frightened." So he had to go.
Despite their recent argument and despite telling himself not to be at her beck and call.
But he failed; the moment he heard her voice, he was completely undone.
Qiao Nuo nodded; in truth, there was no need for Jin Chengyan to explain!

"Little Ancestor, you didn't get hurt, but if you tell Jin Shao that you did, he'll come over with a doctor!" Xu Lin had just sent Ruan Shengyu back and was about to leave when she received a phone call and immediately dialed Jin Chengyan.
Ruan Shengyu had indeed been filming today, including a scene with stunts from a height. However, there were soft mats below, and her injuries weren't as serious as she claimed.
Earlier, Xu Lin could navigate between Jin Chengyan and Ruan Shengyu with ease, but for some reason, she increasingly felt exhausted.
Ruan Shengyu stood at the corner of the stairs and thought for a moment; indeed, she wasn't hurt. When Jin Chengyan arrived, he would find that out.
She smiled faintly.
Xu Lin felt that Ruan Shengyu was undoubtedly a woman filled with an alluring charm, yet she possessed a pure and innocent face.
After Ruan Shengyu smiled, she suddenly took a step down the stairs. Xu Lin gasped, and before she could rush over, Ruan Shengyu had already fallen down the stairs!
From seven or eight steps up, she tumbled down without any protective measures, rolling several times until she landed at Xu Lin's feet.
"Ruan Shengyu!" Xu Lin exclaimed, immediately crouching beside her. "What are you doing?"
Ruan Shengyu furrowed her brows; the fall had truly hurt. It was more painful than performing stunts on set, where she would jump from several meters high onto a mat while suspended by wires.
But she had no regrets.
"Xu Jie, you don’t understand. If I don’t hold onto A Yan tightly now, I’ll lose everything…"
In that moment, Xu Lin saw helplessness and despair on Ruan Shengyu's face.
