Young Master Fu's Incredible Real Heiress Chapter 1010 - All Lovers Found Their Pairs
After letting her go, he headed downstairs and instructed the butler to deliver the meal.
The disturbance prompted Shi Jin to force her eyes open once more briefly. Then she asked, “Is it time to eat?”
“Mm, get up and have a bite. Just a little something.”
“I’m not hungry, and I don’t have much appetite.” Shi Jin’s voice remained soft.
Fu Xiuyuan’s heart twinged with pain as he faulted himself. He shouldn’t have gone on so intensely the night before. He needed to hold back from then on.
!!
Even so, Shi Jin roused herself fully. She cleaned her hands and approached to eat.
Though she started with little appetite, Fu Xiuyuan’s coaxing led her to try the sour-spicy beef soup and spicy fish, gradually sparking her hunger.
Having polished off more than half a bowl of rice, she even accepted half a bowl of meat soup spooned to her by Fu Xiuyuan.
“Want some fruit?” Fu Xiuyuan inquired.
With her appetite returning, fruit now appealed to her, so Shi Jin nodded.
Fu Xiuyuan chose a few mango pieces for her as Shi Jin rested against his shoulder, savoring them.
The meal stayed simple yet delightful. Fu Xiuyuan possessed plenty of practice in tending to her.
He disliked her exhaustion, yet he cherished how it made her weary. She grew clingy and reliant on him then, reminiscent of a kitten.
The notion drew a smile from Fu Xiuyuan.
“What’s so funny?” Shi Jin questioned curiously.
“You seem like a cat right now.”
He stretched out to stroke her.
Shi Jin curled her fingers. “Meow ~”
Fu Xiuyuan caressed her face anew, his smile broadening.
“So will you get a real cat?” Shi Jin pressed.
“No, caring for you suffices.” Fu Xiuyuan drew her into his embrace, savoring how wonderful it felt.
She had always been fiercely independent before. Lately, she adhered to him ever closer. That sense of being essential and relied upon sometimes surpassed merely standing at her side.
Shi Jin rested on his shoulder and whispered, “Then no other cats for you, and don’t pet any outside.”
“Yes,” Fu Xiuyuan vowed seriously.

Gu Jingyuan and Liang Xinran’s wedding came quickly.
By then, Shi Jin had started with the production team, but she’d secured a few days off in advance. Ji Hanxue approved her leave.
On the wedding day, Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan occupied the front row.
Dried phoenix flowers adorned everywhere, holding their vivid red hue, evoking romance and passion.
“Big Brother mentioned fresh flowers fade fast, but dried ones endure longer.” Shi Jin grinned at Fu Xiuyuan. “It sounds right. Back home, I’ll figure out preserving all my received flowers as dried ones.”
“Sure, I’ll assist you then.”
They murmured softly to each other. Before they knew it, the ceremony neared its end.
Shi Jin smiled sheepishly. What had distracted her so?
Yet as long as the wedding stars beamed with joy, it mattered little what she and Fu Xiuyuan did.
As music swelled, Gu Jingyuan grasped the microphone to sing “For Eternity,” bringing tears streaming from Liang Xinran.
The lyrics rang true as Gu Jingyuan’s own sentiments, echoing his everyday words and grandest romantic gestures.
Gu Jingyuan drew near and enfolded her in a hug.
Beneath the stage, Fu Xiuyuan tugged Shi Jin close into his arms.
Luo Jingxuan likewise drew Lan Tian to him.
Every couple reunited in embrace.

Back on set, Shi Jin resumed her scenes.
True to Director Ji’s style, he tackled the toughest shots first.
As he put it, fresh into a production, nerves stayed taut and determination peaked, making it ideal to capture demanding parts early.
Shi Jin’s character demanded numerous wirework scenes, so those came upfront.
After one take, Director Ji noticed her expression seemed off and remarked, “Can you manage? Marriage turn you this frail?”
“Yes. No worries, Director Ji.”
“Dieting too hard without proper meals?” Director Ji told the stage manager. “Have the crew add a drumstick to Shi Jin’s lunchbox at noon.”
Shi Jin chuckled. “Director Ji, I’m not so delicate. I eat just fine always.”
“Doesn’t matter to me. If I spot issues, I handle them. Health first, young lady.”
Tan Ya, the second female lead nearby, smiled and added, “Director Ji’s spot on. Shi Jin, eat more than the rest of us.”
Tan Ya’s parts were mostly dialogue-driven, lacking action, so her shoots proved far easier than Shi Jin’s.
Shi Jin smiled. “Got it. Let’s continue.”
She sensed no real problem with her condition. Likely just rust from the filming hiatus.
Ji Hanxue observed as a crew member attached the wire to her and offered a few instructions.
“I’ll handle the filming for this part myself,” Ji Hanxue declared. “Come on.”
Shi Jin straightened her costume, composed herself, and started the performance.
The delicate fragility that had marked her earlier vanished completely the moment she slipped into acting mode. Tenacity and steadiness now defined her completely.
Once fully immersed in her role, Shi Jin delivered a rock-solid performance. In short order, she wrapped up several scenes.
“Need a break for a bit?” Director Ji inquired.
“Just a few sips of water, and I’m good to go again right away.” Shi Jin saw no problem with continuing. During grueling night shoots, filming nonstop for hours straight was nothing unusual.
Tan Ya announced: “Your assistant brought water for you.”
Shi Jin accepted it, took several sips, and dove back into filming.
She kept going until completing all the scheduled scenes for the day.
Ji Hanxue felt extremely pleased with her acting that day, nodding vigorously. “Excellent work. Maintain that level tomorrow. We’re done for today. Head back and get some good rest.”
“Alright, see you tomorrow.” Shi Jin nodded and spread her arms, awaiting wire removal.
With the wires off, she headed toward the dressing room. Out of nowhere, dizziness struck, leaving her unsteady on her feet.
She steadied herself somehow, pressing fingers to her forehead.
Ji Hanxue rushed over at once, concerned. “Shi Jin, you okay?”
“I—” She collapsed before uttering another word.
Luckily, Ji Hanxue stood right nearby and caught her fall. He barked at his assistant, “Call emergency services now!”
The ambulance pulled up moments later.
Ji Hanxue rode with Shi Jin in the ambulance and dialed Fu Xiuyuan.

Hospital.
Shi Jin had only blacked out briefly before coming to.
As she pushed herself up in the bed, Ji Hanxue spoke up quickly. “Doctor says it’s low blood sugar. You’re on a glucose drip now. Take it easy and sit tight.”
“Okay.” Shi Jin massaged her temples. “Low blood sugar isn’t typical for me.”
