The door closed slowly and quietly.Gale stepped back and gestured to Shawn behind her with a wink. "We shouldn't go in now!"Shawn asked, "What did you see?""Cough... It's a scene that we shouldn't be seeing."Shawn glanced at the tightly closed door."Could it be kissing?" he asked.Gale widened her eyes. Was this not too fast? How could Shawn dare to guess that of Ivy? Was it characteristic of men to want to get physical so quickly?"No?" Seeing her reaction, Shawn guessed again, "Hugging?"Gale shook her head. "No.""What is it then? Could it be that they've reached the final base?" Shawn said calmly."Where are your thoughts straying to? Well, yes, Aurum did take off his clothes."Shawn raised an eyebrow. "Why did he take off his clothes?""To show Ivy his injuries! With such a heavy machine hitting him, he must be covered in bruises, swollen all over," Gale replied matter-of-factly.No wonder she closed the door."Let's go then," Shawn said, showing no interest in

However, it was all fake. Though, even if there was a hint of sincerity, Ivy thought she might be willing to try being with Aurum."Stop pretending. For the next few days, you probably won't be able to lean back in your chair, you'll have to sit up straight," Ivy said.Aurum replied, "I'm a man, I'm not afraid of pain, I can endure it. If that had hit you, it would have been bad."He laughed again. "Would you cry?""Yes." Ivy nodded."In that case, it's a good thing it hit me. I'm most afraid of seeing a woman cry, I wouldn't know what to do if you cried.""If... when the camera fell, it didn't hit me, but the actress next to me instead... Aurum, would you still have come to the rescue?" Ivy asked.This question was not direct. There was a rich layer of subtext he had to read through. She was asking if she was special. Would he rush to help if someone else got hurt? Or was it just because she was the one who got hurt that he rushed up without hesitation?It was progressing as A

"What if I told you that I don't mind?'""How is that possible! No man wouldn't mind!" "I really don't mind. Because, that night, I had also not become pure," Aurum said.Ivy's expression instantly changed. Was he implying that he had also slept with Gale? Aurum, who was still shirtless, slowly walked behind Ivy."Ivy, since we're already talking about this, let's just be completely honest. There's only the two of us here and no one else," he said.Ivy remained still. "What do you want to say?""That night's events were deeply painful for all of us. Shawn hates me, Gale avoids me, and I blame myself endlessly, but I can't do anything to change it... I also know that you've been hiding at home, not wanting to see anyone, so I didn't disturb you.""You're a good girl, so you couldn't accept what Paul did to you. You felt dirty, unworthy of many good things, and closed yourself off, unwilling to open up.""But Ivy, that night, I... I also experienced the same thing as you. Gale a

After a while, she changed her answer. "Gale mentioned it to me.""Your relationship with her has reached this point where she would voluntarily confide in you?""She wants to put us together. You should have noticed it too. So, she brought it up to clarify and hoped I wouldn't overthink it, hoping I wouldn't reject you," Ivy said.Her reason was very plausible and reasonable, and Aurum did not doubt it. He pondered for a while. Ivy watched his every subtle expression. To see past someone and still know they are lying made her feel indescribably uncomfortable and upset.In theory, Ivy should have felt pleased, because she held all the cards. However, she could not help feeling desolate. Perhaps it was because she had somewhat developed feelings for Aurum. She had somewhat fallen for him, so she could not just look at him with eyes full of hatred. Love and hate intertwined.Ivy thought if only she had met Aurum on any other timeline… She thought of when he appeared like a prince, r

Fine, so be it.She only wanted revenge now."Aurum..." Ivy murmured, her expression somewhat surprised, yet also a bit shy, "Do you, do you know what you're saying?""Of course.""Could it be that you're delusional because you're injured?"Aurum smiled helplessly. "I injured my back, not my brain. Ivy, I'm very clear about what I'm saying and what I want.""But, I'm not worthy..."Aurum interrupted her, "If you say that, then I'm not worthy of you either. I've been engaged, I've had feelings for someone else, my past is very complicated. If you don't mind, I'm already content."Ivy bit her lip hard again. He really was a smooth talker. Everything he said tugged at her heartstrings. With Aurum's profile, personality, and abilities, he would succeed at pursuing any woman. Why could he not let go of Gale and just start over?Why did he have to resort to all sorts of underhanded means to get her?Ivy turned her head. At this moment, she really did not want to act. She wanted to

He waited for her answer. Ivy hesitated. It was hard for her to say what she wanted, although she was certain she had to agree. Only by becoming Aurum's girlfriend could she collect evidence. Deep down, she still felt resistant. Why was it so easy for men to lie through their teeth, while women had to muster so much courage to do that?"Ivy?" Seeing her silence, Aurum called her name.She would not reject him, would she? He was confident. Otherwise, he would not have confessed recklessly. Could Ivy still resist him? He had laid down enough groundwork before, and today he had even risked his life to save her.Aurum did not believe she had not been moved. Unless, that day in the office, Ivy had truly overheard his conversation with Paul. Otherwise, she would have long succumbed to his kindness!"Aurum, I..." Ivy hesitated. "I want to tell you that, I like you."He smiled."But...""Hmm? But what? Do you still have concerns?" Aurum asked.Ivy gently pushed him away and looked in

"If he can screw around, he shouldn't be hurt that badly."Gale noticed that Aurum was not wearing a shirt and was still holding onto Ivy. When she was eavesdropping outside, she had already anticipated that the two would be embracing, so she subconsciously ignored it. It was only now, with Shawn's reminder, that she realized it. Ivy's face flushed, quickly turning red, as she lowered her head to stare at her toes. Aurum also cleared his throat a couple of times. It was indeed a bit awkward."Oh my, that's right. Aurum, why aren't you wearing a shirt? And... Why are you still hugging Ivy?" Gale said, her eyes widening in surprise.Shawn pursed his lips. Gale's acting was too fake; he found it hard to watch. He helped her eavesdrop, and kept an eye on the surroundings, making sure no one caught her. As a result, she was not even paying attention and stumbled right in. Did Aurum not know what had happened? He was well aware, he just chose not to expose her."Well, it seems like I've

Aurum held Ivy's hand."Having you by my side will help distract me," he said, rubbing her hand with his fingertips.She blinked and finally responded, "Okay."Gale watched the scene with a gleeful smile. She nudged Shawn. "Hey, do you think... they are together now?""How would I know? Aren't you eavesdropping?" "Aurum just confessed, but Ivy hasn't accepted yet," Gale whispered."In that case, they're not together.""No, no, no, it's my fault! Right when Ivy was about to answer, I was too focused listening, then I stumbled in and interrupted them!"Gale was so annoyed at herself. Why did things have to go wrong at the most critical moment? Shawn watched as Aurum and Ivy held hands."Do you think they're not together when they're holding hands like that?" Shawn told Gale, "Gale when a man wants to get a woman, he'll give it his all. If he doesn't succeed, it just means he hasn't tried hard enough."As the doctor treated him, Ivy stared at him unfazed. Aurum just stared at

Paul repeatedly glanced at Shawn. With him around, he did not dare to voice out, just nodded and smiled apologetically. Even if he had ten lives, he still could not afford to offend him!"What's going on? My words don't matter to you? You won't act unless Shawn speaks up? Or do you want Aurum to notify you that Ivy's interview is canceled today?" Gale asked.Paul kept laughing awkwardly, shaking his hands repeatedly. "Mrs. Wood, no, please don't misunderstand me..."Gale rolled her eyes. After finishing this movie, Paul should be blacklisted. This scumbag had hurt Ivy, who knows how many other women he would target in the future! Seeing Gale's impatience, Paul realized it was time to leave. He could not wait any longer, or else he would get in trouble.Paul nodded. "Alright, I'll go inform the reporters. By the way, Mr. and Mrs. Wood, why don't you sit down? Should I arrange for the assistant director to show you around the set?" "No need!" Gale still was not courteous. Paul co

Shawn lowered his head, whispering in her ear, "What's going on? Every time I kiss you, do you not know how your lips look afterward?"Before Gale could respond, he continued, "I almost forgot, it's normal you don't know. You can't see yourself, it's not like you rush to the mirror every time."Gale blinked.She did not have time to dwell on Shawn's teasing; her mind was filled with the idea of them kissing. Was that not something only couples do?"Are you saying she's been kissed? Are you sure? Really? It was just her and Aurum in the lounge…" Gale asked.Surely it could not be the doctor. That was too far-fetched."I can confirm, yes, I've kissed you so many times and seen you up close. Do you think I wouldn't know? Gale, I see clearer than you!" Shawn said.Gale clapped her hands. "Well, this is good news! Though, Ivy seemed to be avoiding me just now, why?""You can just ask her directly later. No need to guess," Shawn advised."Yeah, but she's gone to the interview area.
