Everyone thought the conversation between the two of them was inexplicably bizarre.
Out of the blue, this woman named Heather introduced herself? Way overconfident, wasnât she! Did she really think that with her looks, any man would be interested in her?
"Itâs okay." Nian Shen replied gracefully, capturing the hearts of many women present, thinking he was fantastic.
Heather nodded at him and stepped aside.
Nian Shen and the group around him walked towards the direction of the set.
Heatherâs gaze stayed on his retreating back.
Her gaze, which remained unchanged even after hearing her own name, and those unaltered pupilsâall evidence denied the fact that he was Li Sinian.
If he wasnât him, could there really be another man in the world who felt so similar just by intuition?
She once believed that no matter what Li Sinian turned into, she could recognize him at a glance, not with her eyes but with her heart.
But at this moment, she was confused.
She both hoped that the person was him, yet also hoped he was not.
Over two months of restless nights, she prayed he wouldnât come near her, not approach her. But... she couldnât stop herself from missing him, paying special attention to any word that related to his name.
After the arrival of this man who resembled him, she couldnât move forward; she didnât want to leave this place.
Seeing through her thoughts, someone mocked on the side: "Some people should stop wishful thinking; thatâs the boss of a big company who returned from abroad, both wealth and looks, who isnât high? The person who matches him should at least be a goddess level like Xiao Man, not some imposter."
However, Heather didnât care about their ridicule and asked casually: "What is he doing in Linyang?"
"Now that heâs here, what else could he be doing? Definitely investing. Although Qu Leqi has a bad temper, he does have drawing power at the box office. Why do you ask? Whatâs it to you?"
Heather seemed to only hear the important parts, continuing, "So that means, he will be staying here for a while and wonât leave Linyang any time soon?"
"Heâll probably wait till this movie is finished shooting and then promoted, right? No wait, why are you asking these questions?"
She is neither the heroine nor a strong candidate, and doesnât relate to Nian Shen at all, so why the concern?
Without responding, Heather turned around and walked back to the set.
Several people looked at each other in dismay: "What does she mean? Doesnât she understand what weâre saying?"
"Arenât we speaking clearly enough?"
...
Heather stood on the outskirts, watching as Nian Shen arrived; the director and the leading actors all went up to greet him.
Just like other women present, Heather stood at the edge, spying on him.
Her behavior was out of her control.
She just wanted to see clearly, to understand.
All of a sudden, Heather crouched down, picked up a mineral water cap from the ground, and tossed it through the crowd at Nian Shenâs knee.
His body tilted slightly, he almost didnât steady himself, but was quickly supported by someone nearby.
"Whatâs the matter, Mr. Nian?"
"Nothing, I think someone just bumped into me."
Heather continued to observe his expression, yet besides calmness, at most, there was some confusion, as if he couldnât quite understand why his knee suddenly bent.
If it were him, his gaze would probably have already turned in her direction, accurately pinpointing the direction.
Could it be, he really wasnât him?
