In just a blink of an eye, it was already summer break. Summer had arrived in Shengjing. Gu Yuwu’s movie was also about to be released. Recently, the trailers were played very frequently, and there was also a lot of publicity about it.

Today, Lin Xiaowan was supposed to go for a follow-up checkup. Due to how hot it had been, she had been clamoring to eat something cold. However, she would cough as soon as she ate something cold so Huo Zheng did not allow it. In the end, the duo came to a compromise and agreed that if the doctor did not have any objection, she would be allowed to have a glass of smoothie every day.

Huo Zheng did not hesitate to agree. After all, he knew what the outcome would be. Even if she didn’t cough, the doctor still would not allow her to have a glass of smoothie every day due to her weak stomach.

As expected, when they went to get the medical report in the afternoon, the doctor rejected Lin Xiaowan’s small request decisively.

When Lin Xiaowan was hospitalized, she would pester the doctor, asking if she could eat this and that. As such, the doctor had grown immune to her tactics and had no problem refusing her.

Although Lin Xiaowan was very unwilling, she could only smile at the doctor.

The doctor said, “There’s no point in looking at me like that. No means no. It’s best if you don’t eat cold or spicy food. Fortunately, you don’t smoke and drink…”

Lin Xiaowan lowered her head, looking guilty.

Huo Zheng smiled and held her hand. He did not say anything. After all, he knew that she liked to drink sweet fruit wine and sweet alcoholic drinks. She treated them as though they were ordinary drinks. One time, he was very busy so he did not notice until much later that she had secretly drunk more than half a bottle of sweet wine. After teaching her a lesson, all the alcohol in the house was locked in a cabinet.

When the movie was released, Huo Zheng accompanied Lin Xiaowan to watch it.

When she saw herself on the screen, she pointed it out to Huo Zheng.

“Look behind the Imperial Concubine. I’m one of the palace maids. Do you see me?”

Huo Zheng recognized her at a glance. Her skin was flawless, and her eyes were bright. When she stood with the others, she stood out a lot.

Lin Xiaowan’s attention soon shifted to the Imperial Concubine. She said, “The Imperial Concubine is really friendly, and she speaks really gently. She even gave me some snacks. They were really delicious.”

Needless to say, Lu Yingxin also appeared in the movie. Although she did not play a major role, she had quite a few scenes. She played an innocent and beautiful princess in the movie. Although her acting was not particularly bad, she had no experience after all. As such, her performance was still lacking.

Huo Zheng looked at Lu Yingxin murderously when she appeared on the screen.

Lin Xiaowan whispered, “I saw her act when I was on the set. At that time, I thought she was not bad. However, compared to the others, the difference is quite big…”

Huo Zheng covered her eyes and said, “Don’t look. It’ll ruin your eyes.”

Lin Xiaowan laughed, amused. She placed her hand on his hand that was covering her eyes and said, “By the way, I tried on the costumes for the movie. Sister Gu Yuwu even took photos and videos of me. She said 1 can post them after the movie is released. I’ll show them to you later…”

After the movie premiere, Huo Zheng bought thousands of movie tickets and asked his assistant to distribute them to his employees. Although Lin Xiaowan was just an extra, he still wanted to support her.

The employees were confused. They could not understand why they were suddenly given movie tickets.

At the same time, somehow, someone found out that Huo Zheng had bought a huge number of movie tickets, and this matter quickly made the headlines. It became a hot topic in the industry.

Some people speculated that the boss of Huo Corporation must have taken a liking to one of the actresses in the movie. As such, he bought so many tickets to support the actress. They speculated online that the actress was the second female lead. She was a newcomer, but her performance was quite outstanding.

When Gu Yuwu learned about this, she quickly made her stance clear.

[Gu Yuwu: Who came up with this nonsense? Are you crazy?]

Soon after that, the Huo Corporation’s official account also commented on the matter.

[Please don’t misunderstand. The boss’ wife was an extra in the movie so the boss bought tickets for the people in the company.]

With this, the rumors quickly died down. However, it did not take long for these netizens, who loved to gossip, to find another thing to discuss.

[Netizen #1: I’ve watched the movie three times, but 1 still can’t figure out which one is President Huo’s wife.]

[Netizen #2: Why are you looking for her? Will the Huo Corporation pay you if you spot her in the movie?]

[Netizen #3: What a joke! The president’s wife is an extra in a movie? Is the Huo family making things difficult for her? Is she going to stop drawing and become an actress?]

[Gu Yuwu: Go away. Xiaowan came to visit the set and decided to take on the role of an extra for fun. If you’re jealous, get lost!]

When Lin Xiaowan learned about this, she said with a sigh, “The entertainment industry is full of bloodshed. It’s really scary.”

After that, Gu Yuwu also posted the video she had taken of Lin Xiaowan without covering the latter’s face. She was clearly showing everyone that Lin Xiaowan only visited the set to have fun, not act.

After Lin Xiaowan sent the video to Huo Zheng, she found that he was distracted. It did not seem like he was looking at the video she had sent him. As such, she leaned over and asked, “What are you looking at?”

“Lu Yingxin didn’t go to Jiangning. It seems like she’s been hiding in the mountains. Someone saw her in the village again.”

“So she’s really living in the wild?” Lin Xiaowan was shocked.

Huo Zheng sneered. “She can still access the Internet there even though the area isn’t very developed. She probably knows that the movie has been released and that her scenes weren’t cut. She thinks that everything’s fine now.”

Then, he frowned before he continued to say, “Be careful in the coming days. I’m worried she might look for you and do something.”

“I’ve only been by your side recently. I’ve not been anywhere without you,” Lin Xiaowan said.

In the video that Gu Yuwu posted, it showed Lin Xiaowan wearing various costumes from the movie. The costume that caught everyone’s attention was, coincidentally, one of the costumes of the beautiful princess, who was played by Lu Yingxin.

The beautiful princess wore the costume when she got married in the movie. Unlike most ancient wedding garb, the dress was black with gold trimmings.

Many people commented that Lin Xiaowan completely crushed Lu Yingxin when she wore the dress, saying that she looked much better than Lu Yingxin. Some people even said that she was a better match for the male actor.

Lin Xiaowan looked sweet, and her smile was cute and lively. In the netizens’ opinion, she was a much better choice to play the role of the princess. In their opinion, Lu Yingxin’s sweetness was too fake. Some people even lamented that Lin Xiaowan should have been given this role considering how suitable she was.

A few people also said that it was understandable that she was not given a big role. After all, she was going to marry Huo Zheng. It seemed like wealthy families did not like actresses very much. They even went so far as to use famous models and actresses as examples..
