Three questions every day after traveling through a book: Has your character been ruined today?

The restaurant that Shen Shuli asked his assistant to book was not far from the perfume company. It was located in a private alley. To put it nicely, it was like hiding in the city. To put it bluntly, it was like taking the man to a remote alley where there were no people and no surveillance and the man was killed.

The store doesn’t look impressive from the outside, but once you walk in, you’ll see small bridges and flowing water, and it feels like you’ve walked into the south of the Yangtze River.

Even Meng Yuan, who had been imagining a horror suspense drama in her mind, subconsciously switched the channel to a sweet ancient idol drama.

Seeing Meng Yuan's unconcealed surprise, Shen Shuli took the initiative to introduce:

"This is opened by a good friend of mine. It has a good environment, strong privacy, and good food. You can try it later."

The two were led to a private room. Even though it was a private room, the decoration was quite artistic, with rockeries and flowing water. Meng Yuan looked around and saw the large surveillance camera on the roof. He put his heart back in his stomach and couldn't help but turned around and smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Your friend has a really good taste."

This monitor is really well installed!

It's a pity. If it wasn't opened by your friend, I could have brought Lu Yanli here to broaden his horizons. Meng Yuan felt a little regretful.

However, Shen Shuli was stunned for a moment when he looked at Meng Yuan's smiling face. The loving look in her eyes on the day of the filming replayed in his mind again.

It was not until the waiter knocked on the door and came in to pour tea that Lu Yanli came to his senses. He hurriedly picked up the menu and pretended to order food to cover up his previous gaffe.

Fortunately, Meng Yuan was immersed in his curious exploration of the private room and did not notice Shen Shuli's gaze.

Throughout the entire meal, Shen Shuli behaved just as he had told Meng Yuan, that he was simply trying to make friends. He kept chatting with Meng Yuan with a smile on his face, and all they talked about were their experiences during filming or the local customs and practices.

It has to be said that Shen Shuli is a person who is very good at chatting and knows his limits. Even though Meng Yuan and Shen Shuli are not very close and do not have many common topics, they each have their own little plans in mind.

But from the looks of it, the two of them seemed to be in harmony and peace.

Meng Yuan echoed Shen Shuli's words while muttering in his heart:

"Am I overthinking it? He just wants to make friends with me?"

But every time Meng Yuan thought about the expressionless look in the elevator, with inquiring and puzzled eyes, she felt that things were not as simple as she thought.

At this moment, the topic returned to the filming of the promotional video. Shen Shuli said in the same relaxed and casual tone as before:

"This kind of endorsement is easier. Apart from filming commercials, there are very few offline activities. It's not like filming a movie. The movie Lianlian and I filmed was recently released, and we were busy traveling to different cities for roadshows every day."

"Really? That's really hard work." Meng Yuan agreed dryly.

After triggering the key words, Meng Yuan's heart skipped a beat, though it came late. What was supposed to come finally came.

"It is indeed hard work, but it may also be because I have experienced it so much and have become accustomed to this set of procedures, so I feel a little tired."

"Lianlian didn't feel tired at all. Instead, she was full of curiosity and thought this was a good opportunity to get close to her fans."

"Lianlian has always said that this film-making experience has given her a lot of gains..."

Seeing that the other party was about to start a long speech on this topic, Meng Yuan had no choice but to quietly use his mobile phone to search for the plot synopsis of the movie, and when the other party brought up the topic, he naturally continued:

"I've seen some discussion about this movie online. It's been very popular recently! It seems that Lianlian plays your wife in it, right?"

"Yes, although the role is not important, Lianlian's interpretation is very brilliant. Now many people on the Internet are shipping our couple." Speaking of this, Shen Shuli seemed to suddenly remember:

"Speaking of which, your CP with Lu Yanli has been very popular online recently. I remember your CPF called you a pleasing CP, right?"

"I didn't expect that Mr. Shen, who is so busy with work, would still pay attention to the couple between me and Mr. Lu?" Meng Yuan asked.

"I'm not paying special attention to you two. It's just that your couple has been so popular recently that I can always see it when I open Weibo." Shen Shuli shrugged innocently and said:

"When I was free, I clicked on the recommended video clip of you two on the homepage. You two look really good together. No wonder your fans named it "Eye-catching."

"Really?" Meng Yuan picked up a piece of food and put it in the bowl. He didn't know why the other party brought this up, so he didn't say much.

Seeing that Meng Yuan did not comment, Shen Shuli continued to ask:

"I remember when we had dinner last time, Miss Meng said that she wasn't very familiar with Lu Yanli. It seems that after recording the show this time, the relationship between you two has become much closer?"

Meng Yuan's heart was filled with alarm. What? Are you going to clear out the rival for your lover's sweetheart?

But Meng Yuan still looked calm on the surface, "After all, I had a lot more contact with her during this recording period because of work."

What I meant was that what happened between Mr. Lu and I was just business.

Meng Yuan had no intention of revealing her relationship with Lu Yanli to Shen Shuli right now. Who knows how crazy this affectionate second male lead could go for the female lead.

I don't want to lose my life here for no reason.

When Shen Shuli heard Meng Yuan's answer, he leaned forward slightly and whispered:

"In the past, many female celebrities in the entertainment industry wanted to get close to Lu Yanli. Some of them went straight to bed with him, while others hyped up their relationship online to gain popularity. Guess where all these people ended up?"

"Lu's public opinion management is so good. He must have known about your relationship with him a long time ago. However, Lu's public relations department has not taken any action. It seems that he acquiesced to it."

After Shen Shuli finished speaking, he carefully observed Meng Yuan's expression, only to see a flash of panic on his face. Then he pretended to be calm and explained:

"Maybe Mr. Lu thought it wouldn't have much of an impact on him, so he didn't care. Anyway, he'll be fine once the heat is over."

"Really?" Shen Shuli smiled with an unclear expression, "The Lu Yanli I know is not such a tolerant person."

"Besides, I've watched your show, and he obviously treats you differently than he treats others."

"He is special to you, so don't let him down."

"Lianlian, Lu Yanli and I grew up together. For so many years, he has never had anyone he likes. I am worried about him. If you..."

At this point, Lu Yanli stopped cleverly and asked sincerely:

"Ms. Meng, I think we will become friends, don't you think?"

On the way home, Meng Yuan sat in the car, constantly replaying the conversation between herself and Shen Shuli at the dinner table.

After reviewing the situation, Meng Yuan suddenly realized that he seemed to have been wrong.

Meng Yuan originally thought that Shen Shuli wanted to teach her a lesson through this meal and to keep her away from Bai Lian and Lu Yan.

But in reality, the other party seemed to be hinting in his words that Lu Yanli was interested in him and that he could develop a relationship with Lu Yanli.

What's going on? Did the second male lead change his personality? He no longer wants to be the knight protecting the heroine? Is he going to compete with the male lead for the heroine?

This feeling is so good!

The female lead pairs with the second male lead, and the male lead pairs with the second female lead.

We all have a bright future.
