The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Chapter 118 urges them to cultivate love together.

"Did you run into some thugs?"

Back at her place, Chu Xinglan told her best friend about the harrowing experience.

"Yes, and there were five of them." Chu Xinglan hugged the fluffy teddy bears in her arms, still feeling a little scared.

"Are you alright?" Shu Weiting asked with concern.

"It's nothing!" Chu Xinglan shook her head.

"Then tell me, how did you, little white rabbit, escape from the tiger's mouth?" Shu Weiting was relieved when she heard Chu Xinglan say that she was alright, and she asked with a smile.

"It wasn't that I escaped danger on my own; I was rescued by someone," Chu Xinglan replied.

"You're not going to tell me you were rescued by a hero, are you?"

"I suppose so?" Chu Xinglan smiled faintly.

"real or fake?"

"I wouldn't call you if it wasn't true. Did you think I called to tell you I was being harassed just so you would worry about me?" Chu Xinglan said mysteriously.

"What does he look like? Is he handsome? Is he the same age as Gu Ye or Xiao Ze? Or somewhere in between?" Shu Weiting was incredibly curious.

"I don't know." Chu Xinglan could only disappoint her.

"You don't know? He saved you, and you don't even know what he looks like?" Shu Weiting was furious with Chu Xinglan.

"That's why I wanted to discuss this with you. Tell me, he appeared twice in times of crisis to save me, but he never let me see his true face. Isn't that strange?" Chu Xinglan was a little confused. She really didn't know who that person was or why he appeared in her time of crisis. Was it really just a coincidence?

"Twice? Besides this time, when else?" Shu Weiting asked immediately.

"It's just..." Chu Xinglan suddenly stopped, deliberately changing the subject, "That's not important. What's important is, why does he always appear whenever I'm in danger?"

"Honey, are you being targeted?" Shu Weiting asked in a strange tone.

"Am I being watched?" Chu Xinglan was startled.

"However, it seems that the other party has no ill intentions. In fact, not only has no ill intentions, but they have also become your guardian angel."

Shu Weiting's words surprised Chu Xinglan once again.

"Is he protecting me in secret?"

"So that's how it is?" Shu Weiting asked anxiously, "Baby, what exactly are you doing? I feel like you're hiding something from me? Why is it so serious that someone is secretly protecting you?"

Chu Xinglan's thoughts, however, were only on that mysterious man.

"Then who is he? Why is he protecting me?"

"I should be asking you that! Honey, tell me the truth, besides Gu Ye and Xiao Ze, who else have you messed with?" Shu Weiting asked, looking like she was about to accuse her.

"Why do you sound so awkward when you say those things? It makes me sound like a promiscuous woman!" Chu Xinglan complained to her friend.

"Isn't that right? First she provoked Gu Ye, and she was pregnant with his baby, and then she went and provoked Xiao Ze." Shu Weiting felt it was necessary to have a good discussion with her about what it meant to be fickle.

"Didn't I already say? My relationship with Gu Ye... it was purely an accident." Chu Xinglan bit her lip, Gu Ye's handsome image inexplicably flashing in her mind, her heart pounding. She quickly shook her head to get rid of this damned thought and continued, "As for Xiao Ze, I really only wanted to ask him for help. You know he's a popular figure on campus, there are plenty of people who like him, and there are plenty of girls who are better looking than me. Why would I go looking for trouble by provoking him?"

Besides, he has Su Ranran by his side, and she's no pushover. If she really started dating Xiao Ze, she'd be dead for sure. She ran away from Gu Ye just to live a few more days, not because she was being reckless and went to Xiao Ze to die.

"What if he doesn't like those other people and only likes you? Would you like him?" Shu Weiting became more and more interested as she spoke. Her silly girl, based on her understanding of men like Xiao Ze, if he didn't have some feelings for her, why would he let her get close? Let alone help her with anything. This kind of man is proud and difficult to handle. She couldn't handle him, but her best friend managed to handle him. Doesn't that say something?

Only the person involved's close friend didn't think so; she suddenly felt sorry for Xiao Ze.

When Chu Xinglan heard Shu Weiting ask this question, she felt it was meaningless: "Please, I'm pregnant. Do you expect Xiao Ze to be the father?"

Shu Weiting then realized that her silly best friend already had a baby, which... was indeed a tricky problem.

"What if... I mean, what if Xiao Ze wouldn't mind being the one to take over?"

"You already said 'if,' so this is impossible. Okay, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to sleep. I have to continue working tomorrow."

Chu Xinglan wanted to hang up the phone.

"No, let's chat a little longer!" Shu Weiting said, still wanting more.

"Bye!" Chu Xinglan didn't give her a chance and hung up the phone directly.

"You brat, you're taking advantage of me because I can't catch you. This isn't over yet," Shu Weiting muttered to her phone.

The next morning, Chu Xinglan finished packing and had breakfast before heading to the film set.

As she stepped out of her house, she remembered Shu Weiting's words and subconsciously looked around, hoping to see the mysterious man in black and to confirm whether he was protecting her in secret, just like Shu Weiting had.

But she looked again and again, and still couldn't find any trace of the man in black.

She and Tingting must be overthinking it. How could someone be secretly protecting her on purpose? It must just be a coincidence.

After observing carefully for a while, Chu Xinglan gave up the idea.

The production team is currently preparing for her final scene, which will also be her last collaboration with Lu Yuan.

The feeling of cooperating with her enemy was a little uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do about it.

She glanced at Lu Yuan and saw that he looked terrible. He seemed distracted as the makeup artist styled his hair.

Director Huang noticed that Chu Xinglan wasn't in a good state and was worried that it would affect the filming. He then looked at Chu Xinglan and was surprised to find that Chu Xinglan was also not in a good state.

Director Huang called Chu Xinglan and Lu Yuan to his side, somewhat displeased, and said:

"How can you guys do this? Even though it's the last scene, you all need to put your hearts into it, but you're all not in the right state of mind. How can we continue filming like this?"

"I'm sorry, director. I ran into some thugs on my way home last night, so I haven't recovered yet."

Chu Xinglan apologizes.

"Is that so? Are you alright?" Director Huang asked with concern after hearing Chu Xinglan's words.

"Thankfully, everyone is alright." Chu Xinglan shook her head and apologized again, "I'm just sorry that I made everyone work for nothing."

"It's nothing. How about this, I see that you two aren't feeling well today, so you can take a break for now."

Director Huang's tone softened.

"Does Director Huang not want me to film anymore?" Chu Xinglan asked curiously.

"No, I think you've been doing a great job filming these past few days. In this last scene, you two have a deeper emotional entanglement. You should work on your relationship more together. You acted the hatred very well, but you lacked love. So take this day to really think about love!"

Director Huang brought Chu Xinglan and Lu Yuan together.
