Her bright eyes turned towards Mr. Bai, a faint smile forming at the corners of her mouth, but the smile didn't seem to reach her eyes.

"Boss Bai, Miss Tan, I'm afraid you were in such a hurry to go out that you forgot the most important thing - your brain - at home, right?"

"What Chen Shuo said makes sense." Fu Chaoge interrupted at the right time, interrupting the awkward atmosphere that was about to arise.

Mr. Bai was a little unhappy about what he said, but when he heard Fu Chaoge speak, he immediately suppressed his anger, glared at Tanya, then smiled awkwardly and said to Fu Chaoge: "Haha, she is just outspoken and says whatever she thinks. Xiaoya, stop talking."

Upon hearing this, Tanya lowered her head and said nothing, but her hands tightly grasping the hem of her skirt revealed her dissatisfaction.

Chen Shu didn't care about it at all. Her good mood was ruined by this pair of "lively treasures", and her evaluation of Mr. Bai was also greatly reduced.

"Boss Bai, it's getting late. We'll take our leave now."

Fu Chaoge noticed Chen Shu's mood change, put down the half glass of wine in his hand, took Chen Shu's hand and prepared to leave.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Mr. Bai naturally had no way of trying to keep them, so he quickly stood up and arranged for someone to send them off.

As the two left, the dark cloud hanging over Tanya's head seemed to dissipate. She looked up, pouted, and pulled Mr. Bai's sleeve to act coquettishly: "Didn't you say you would help me solve Chen Shu? Why did you back off after being scared by Fu Chaoge?"

"Why should I retreat? It's all your fault! I wanted to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with the Fu Group, but you ruined it all. You're just good at talking!" Mr. Bai said unhappily.

"I...it's because of that woman that Fu Chaoge terminated my contract. Get rid of her quickly, and I promise to help you sign a contract with Fu Chaoge."

Tanya's voice was gentle, but her words revealed an eagerness and calculation, which was very different from her usual pure and innocent image.

Chen Shuo sat in the car with a cold face. He stared through the window at the passing scenery outside, as if he wanted to put all his worries behind him.

Fu Chaoge gently held her hand and stroked it lightly, looking at the little woman beside him who was emitting a low pressure with concern in his eyes.

"Are you still angry about what happened just now?" he asked softly.

"No, I'm just in a bad mood." Chen Shuo answered calmly, but his tone was obviously a bit angry.

Fu Chaoge was amused by Chen Shu's awkward look. He rubbed her hair lovingly, then gently turned her face towards him and said seriously, "If you are still unhappy, I will make her disappear from the entertainment industry tomorrow."

Chen Shu raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised: "She is no longer your artist now?"

"It has been a long time since then. The contract has been terminated long ago." Fu Chaoge answered calmly.

Hearing this, Chen Shu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Although Tanya's character is questionable, her acting skills are indeed not to be underestimated, which is why she has been able to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry for many years.

I guess Fu Chaoge signed her because of this.

"Tanya is indeed an actress with potential, and her acting skills are impeccable." Chen Shuo commented objectively.

"But she has crossed the line. There are some things she cannot interfere with." There was an unquestionable firmness in Fu Chaoge's tone.

Chen Shuo smelled a hint of gossip, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Fu Chaoge expectantly, hoping to hear more inside information.

But unfortunately, Fu Chaoge didn't seem to intend to continue this topic. He just patted her head gently and smiled: "It seems that you are not angry anymore."

"It's not a big deal. I just think I've been wrong sometimes. Anyway, we weren't familiar with each other." Chen Shu shrugged, indicating that he had let it go.

Then, she changed the subject: "By the way, the first episode of 'Come and Be My Guest' had very good ratings. Next week is the last episode, and we're going to film it in City A. But I have something to do over there, so you guys should be careful. I heard it's raining a lot over there recently."

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten it." Fu Chaoge reminded.

Chen Shu has been very busy during this period. Since she had surgery following the car accident, Fu Chaoge asked her to receive fewer notices, which made her feel more relaxed. However, she also neglected some details.

For example, she had to audition for David's new play in three days. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh that time flew by and her schedule was becoming more and more tight.

It was already two o'clock in the morning when we returned to Fu Chaoge's villa.

Chen Shuo walked into the bathroom exhausted and immersed himself completely in the warm bathtub, enjoying the rare tranquility and relaxation.

Perhaps because she was too tired, she fell asleep in the bathtub without realizing it and did not even hear Fu Chaoge's gentle knock on the door outside.

The bathroom door was suddenly pushed open by a force, waking up Chen Shuo who was sleeping in the bathtub.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Fu Chaoge standing at the bathroom door in a daze. She was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.

"Oh, it's you." Chen Shuo said in a daze, which made Fu Chaoge feel helpless. He thought that this woman's vigilance was too low.

Fu Chaoge let out a long sigh, strode to the bathtub, easily lifted Chen Shu from the water, and then wrapped her up in a dry towel. His movements were gentle yet with a hint of reproach.

Chen Shuo sat on the bed with his back to Fu Chaoge, looking out the floor-to-ceiling window with a dazed look. The two of their figures were reflected on the glass, as if it was the fusion of two worlds.

Fu Chaoge stood behind her, gently blowing her wet hair with the hair dryer in his hand, and the warm wind took away the coldness.

"By the way, is there any clue about the person who caused my dad to get into a car accident?" Chen Shuo suddenly came back to his senses, with a hint of urgency in his voice.

"Well, I just found it out today." Fu Chaoge answered concisely.

"Who is it?" Chen Shu turned her head suddenly, her expression became serious, and the hair dryer blew the loose hair around her cheeks everywhere.

Because Fu Chaoge was standing quite high, Chen Shuo had to half-tilt his head to see his handsome face clearly.

She just raised her head stiffly and waited for a long time but Fu Chaoge didn't speak, so she had to lower her head again and rub her sore neck.

"Don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it." Fu Chaoge finally spoke, and at the same time gently turned Chen Shu's head and continued to blow-dry her hair carefully.

"Is it Zhou Shuling and her daughter?" Chen Shu asked again, and this time she was more certain of the answer in her heart.

The hair dryer blew on a strand of hair for a long time without moving, which made her more convinced of her guess.

"Just as you thought." Fu Chaoge's voice was low and powerful, as if telling her the seriousness of the matter.

The buzzing sound of the hair dryer stopped. Chen Shu looked at her reflection in the glass and saw Fu Chaoge's hand gently fiddling with the ends of her hair, letting them fall naturally.
