Ye Chen bids a reluctant farewell to Su Wanyi and travels to Xi'an. Upon arrival, he is surprised to find Tong Xiaoya in his hotel room, having just taken a bath. Despite Ye Chen's concerns for her safety, Xiaoya insists she is fine and proceeds to take him sightseeing around the city, much to Ye Chen's exhaustion. As Ye Chen grows weary, Xiaoya agrees to return soon, but his phone rings with a call from a worried Su Wanyi.

Seeing Ye Chen hang up the phone, Tong Xiaoya asked with a touch of jealousy, "Girlfriend checking in?"

"No, it’s my fiancée worrying about me being alone out of town, eating uncomfortably." Ye Chen shook his head and said.

"You’re a grown man, is it necessary? I think she really treats you like a child." Tong Xiaoya said with a smile.

Ye Chen didn’t respond to her words and walked forward.

Tong Xiaoya ran a few steps and quickly hooked onto Ye Chen’s arm.

"Xiaoya, I’m really a little tired, let’s go back." Ye Chen said with an expression of helplessness.

Seeing Ye Chen say this, Tong Xiaoya could only nod in agreement.

The two returned to the hotel, Ye Chen looked at Tong Xiaoya and said, "I need to make a call, you go upstairs first."

"Isn’t it the same to make a call upstairs?" Tong Xiaoya said, pouting.

She also wanted to hear what Ye Chen and the girl he just called were going to talk about.

In fact, Tong Xiaoya asked Ye Chen to come, partly to ask for his help, and partly because she missed him, having not seen this man for a long time.

She originally thought she could be with Ye Chen during the time of filming.

But she didn’t expect there was a girl afar who also thought about Ye Chen, and from Ye Chen’s tone, it was clear that he loved this girl very much.

"No need, we have many secrets, and it wouldn’t be convenient for you to listen." Ye Chen waved his hand with a smile.

Ye Chen’s words frustrated Tong Xiaoya, and she said nothing more, turning away.

Seeing Tong Xiaoya leave, Ye Chen let out a sigh of relief.

He really didn’t know how he would get through the night since his room was already occupied by that girl.

A single man and a woman alone in a room would certainly lead to something.

If it were in the past, Ye Chen wouldn’t have thought much of it, but now he is, after all, a married man.

Su Wanyi treats him so well, he definitely cannot do anything to betray her.

Ye Chen took out his phone and dialed Su Wanyi’s number.

On the other end, Su Wanyi was staring at the computer, lost in thought, feeling that there must have been a girl by Ye Chen’s side.

However, since Ye Chen hung up the phone somewhat hastily, she didn’t ask.

Seeing Ye Chen’s call coming in, Su Wanyi hurriedly picked up the phone.

"Honey, have you returned to the hotel?"

"Yes, I’m in the lobby now, haven’t gone to the room yet, planning to wash up and sleep soon." Ye Chen said honestly.

"Okay, you should get some rest, let’s talk tomorrow." Su Wanyi said.

Originally, Ye Chen wanted to chat with Su Wanyi for a while, but he didn’t expect her to want to hang up so soon.

He thought it must be because of work, so he didn’t think much of it.

"Alright, you get some rest too, don’t stay up too late."

Ye Chen said as he was about to hang up the phone.

Suddenly, Su Wanyi’s voice came from the other end.

"Wait a moment, I have something to ask you."

Hearing Su Wanyi’s words, Ye Chen also felt puzzled.

She just said she wanted to hang up, and now she says there’s something to ask.

What exactly does this girl want?

Hearing no sound from the other end, Su Wanyi quickly said, "Honey, are you still listening?"

"Yes, I’m listening, go ahead and ask." Ye Chen replied.

"Honey, was there a girl with you just now?" Su Wanyi bit her lip and asked, her expression tense.

Ye Chen felt that women’s sixth sense was incredibly strong, and couldn’t help but be a little shocked.

"Honey, did you install surveillance on me?" Ye Chen did not answer directly but joked.

Although Ye Chen didn’t respond directly, his meaning was very clear.

"What does this girl do, and what’s your relationship with her?" Su Wanyi asked again.

"Honey, here’s the thing, this girl is a friend of mine, we knew each other before, and this time she wants to film a movie and asked me to come help her." Ye Chen explained truthfully.

He did not disclose Tong Xiaoya’s name.

Ye Chen knew that even if he mentioned it, Su Wanyi wouldn’t believe he knew Tong Xiaoya, she’d definitely think he was lying.

"Oh, I see, alright, you get some rest too, I need a bath." Su Wanyi nodded and said.

After saying this, she hung up the phone.

Holding the phone, Ye Chen was left in a daze, unsure of Su Wanyi’s mood at that moment.

In fact, hearing Ye Chen’s honest response made Su Wanyi very happy.

She completely trusted Ye Chen.

Su Wanyi believed that for the two to be together for a long time, trust was indispensable.

After staying downstairs for a while, Ye Chen went upstairs.

Arriving at room 508, he found that Tong Xiaoya was still there.

"Xiaoya, it’s getting late, let’s rest, didn’t you say you have to get up early tomorrow?" Ye Chen said.

"Ye Chen, you’re right, but when I think about how messy my room is and that I have to tidy it up, I just don’t want to go back." Tong Xiaoya said, frowning.

Ye Chen knew she was just finding an excuse to stay here, this girl just wanted to linger there.

Sure enough, Tong Xiaoya pleaded, "Ye Chen, how about this, I’ll just crash here for the night."

Hearing this, Ye Chen refused, "I don’t think that’s a good idea, you’re a big star, if rumors got out, it wouldn’t be good for your reputation."

He said this purely considering Tong Xiaoya’s situation, as he as a man wouldn’t face much trouble.

Tong Xiaoya, currently a very popular actress, had paparazzi dying to dig up scandals about her.

If things happened as Ye Chen said, it would be just what those reporters wanted.

"How could that be, I booked this entire floor, and it’s filled with crew people, don’t worry." Tong Xiaoya said with a smile.

"Xiaoya, you’ve worked hard to achieve your current success, do you really want to risk your career stalling due to a misunderstanding? Especially since you want to present a film you directed, which is your debut work, there can’t be any mishaps." Ye Chen advised again.

These words made Tong Xiaoya hesitate; she had poured a lot of passion and funds into this film.

She hoped to achieve high box office numbers, not for the money but to prove herself.

"Alright, I’ll go back to my room to sleep." Tong Xiaoya said, pouting.

Finally, Ye Chen’s anxious heart settled, knowing that nothing would happen if she returned to her room.

Just as Ye Chen was feeling pleased, Tong Xiaoya spoke again, "Ye Chen, after not seeing each other for so long, let’s chat for a bit."
