2268 Twins
In the high-class restaurant, she sat opposite Shen Mubei. She wheedled and apologized before finally getting Shen Mubei to stay.
“I know I made a mistake. I really won’t do it again. I’ll focus on filming from now on and won’t mess around anymore.”
“That’s for the best,” Shen Mubei said after taking a sip of wine.
She took out a brocade box and said, “Seeing that you like to wear brooches so much, I bought you a new one. Try it on. It doesn’t suit your status to wear the same one every day.”
Shen Mubei wanted to refuse, but when he looked down at his brooch, he nodded.
Zhao Xinshu was very happy. She immediately took out the expensive brooch she had bought and carefully took off Shen Mubei’s original brooch before putting the one she bought on him.
“It really suits your temperament. This custom-made brooch was ordered according to your looks and temperament. What do you think?” Zhao Xinshu asked.
“It’s alright.” Shen Mubei took a look.
“Then can I help you put away the old one? Can I take a photo of it too? The brooch looks good. I want to buy something similar in the future.” After saying that, Zhao Xinshu looked at Shen Mubei eagerly.
Shen Mubei did not object. Zhao Xinshu immediately took a photo of the brooch and happily posted it on Weibo with a few hearts.
When the fans saw what she posted, they began to respond in the comments section.
[I’m envious. Is this from someone?]
[Shu Shu, who gave you this gift? It’s so beautiful!]
[When will Xinshu appear wearing this? I want to take photos of her!]
[She’ll look stunning if she wears this to an event. Could it be that this is the new endorsement of some luxury brand? I’ll definitely buy it!]
Zhao Xinshu replied to a few comments: [It’s a gift from someone! I like it very much!]
[If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll wear it for everyone to see!]
[This isn’t an endorsement. It’s a personal item.]
Her reply was filled with the cuteness of a young lady. It was as if she was in love, causing many fans to start guessing if she had found a boyfriend.
However, Zhao Xinshu did not reply directly to such questions, but anyone could see the sweetness in her words.
She was scrolling through Weibo when Shen Mubei glanced over and said, “Who gave you the permission to post it on Weibo?”
“I… I thought you said I could take a photo and post it, so I…” Zhao Xinshu was a little lost.
She posted it to deliberately show off their love.
All these years, Shen Mubei had been taking care of her. He gave her all the resources and had never mistreated her.
However, Shen Mubei rarely satisfied her in public.
As for showing off their love on social platforms, it was even less within Shen Mubei’s consideration.
On the one hand, Zhao Xinshu wanted to test Shen Mubei’s attitude. On the other hand, she wanted to anger the person who gave him the brooch, no matter who she was.
However, in just a few seconds, she was questioned by Shen Mubei.
“I’m sorry. Do you not like me posting this? With your identity, it’s indeed inconvenient for me to post this. I’m really sorry.” Zhao Xinshu admitted her mistake very quickly.
As long as there was something wrong with Shen Mubei’s expression, she could keenly capture it and resolve the problem immediately.
“Then should I delete it?” Seeing that Shen Mubei’s expression had not recovered, Zhao Xinshu could only test his bottom line herself.
“Yeah,” Shen Mubei replied straightforwardly.
Zhao Xinshu: “…”
She was reluctant at the thought of deleting it.
However, in order not to anger Shen Mubei, she moved her fingers. She did not delete the post, but she archived it.
Shen Mubei’s emotions didn’t ease.
He held his glass of red wine and lowered his eyes. His expression was indifferent, but his gaze was not focused on Zhao Xinshu.
Zhao Xinshu did not know what had crossed his bottom line in the past two days.
Shen Mubei’s personality was just like his temperament. It was very unpredictable.
She had been by his side for several years, but it was difficult for her to figure it out. She could only probe repeatedly.
But this time, it was obvious that he was really distant.
Zhao Xinshu said softly, “Mubei, try this homemade orange jelly. I remember that you liked it the most when you were studying. That time, you wrote back to me saying that you liked it. I started appreciating its taste and realized that it’s so delicious. Today, I got someone to reserve this in the kitchen. Try it.”
At the mention of the letters from the past, Shen Mubei’s face turned warm. He reached out to take the small jelly she handed him and said, “Okay.”
Zhao Xinshu knew that this would work.
Back then, the two of them had exchanged letters for a long time. Shen Mubei had fallen for this trick.
Even now, every time Zhao Xinshu couldn’t deal with him, she would mention those letters. And he would revert to his gentle and calm self.
…
Qiao Weiyang and Xiao Qing booked a place to eat. The two of them chatted as they ate. They had endless topics to talk about.
Xiao Qing smiled and said, “Zhao Xinshu is so stupid. Does she think that you like Shen Mubei?”
“She’s mostly jealous that I got the female lead role.”
“That’s because she’s useless. Shen Mubei has given her so many resources, but she can’t even get the female lead role this time. Doesn’t that mean that her qualifications are mediocre?” Xiao Qing was not soft-hearted when she complained about Zhao Xinshu.
“The script this time is not bad. She can be considered to have brought funds into the production. I can’t offend her too much. Otherwise, if Shen Mubei reorganizes the production team, I won’t be able to work on this good script.”
“I understand. This is your job,” Xiao Qing said. “Anyway, we can just complain behind her back. You can still do whatever you need to do.”
Qiao Weiyang knew her personality. Her unhappiness came and went quickly. She was a straightforward person.
“I’m going to the bathroom. I’ll be right back.” Qiao Weiyang stood up and called Tao Huan as she walked, asking her to arrange for a car to pick her up later.
When Qiao Weiyang was not around, Xiao Qing casually clicked on Weibo to follow the news in the entertainment industry.
As she was reading, a trending topic jumped into her sight. #Zhao Xinshu deleted the Weibo post#
When she saw Zhao Xinshu’s name, she subconsciously clicked on it. She did not know what had happened to Zhao Xinshu.
She glanced at it and was attracted by the screenshot.
[Zhao Xinshu posted a photo of a man’s brooch on Weibo and replied sweetly to many fans. The fans guess that she’s in a relationship. In less than a minute, Zhao Xinshu deleted that Weibo post, causing a heated discussion among fans and netizens.]
The article on the public account was short and concise. It even included the photo that Zhao Xinshu had deleted just now.
Xiao Qing clicked on the photo. The man’s brooch on it was the one she had given Shen Mubei.
