Weeks passed and Tian Ruyi was so busy with her career as a celebrity. Her schedule was full especially because of her shoots and comrcial promotion of the products that took her as an ambassador.
It was already 7:00 in the evening and Tian Ruyi was shooting two more last scenes for the day with the rest of the team.
"Cut!" The Director shouted.
Tian Ruyi's intern assistant ca up to her straight away. She was given a bottle of water and a hand fan. While Tian Ruyi was resting on her seat, the production assistant ca to her, looking all excited.
"Ms. Tian, soone is looking for you."
"Eh? ?" She blinked a few tis in confusion.
An unfamiliar man, with two other n following behind him, entered the studio backlot and headed straight to Tian Ruyi, handing her the gifts. It was a bouquet of white roses and a box of chocolates.
"Mr. Si wanted you to have these, Ms. Tian." The man in the middle said.
Tian Ruyi felt her heart skip a beat upon his words. Si Hongqi? Why would he even send her such gifts? "Oh gosh! Mr. Si… do you an the man who picked you up last ti?" The intern assistant squealed in delight.
The other staff who witnessed what happened that night ended up getting all excited that they ended up bombarding Tian Ruyi with questions.
"Oh gosh! Is he your boyfriend?"
"N-no…" Tian Ruyi embraced the bouquet closer to her chest as she flushed shyly.
"What? Not yet?!"
"He must be Ms. Tian's admirer! So sweet! He's so handso! If I was you, I would have already made him my boyfriend!"
The two other n handed refreshnts to the staff which only gave them a better impression of the man behind.
Who would have thought that Si Hongqi would actually go this far? She couldn't help but wonder what ca to his mind for him to send her such gifts. The things he was doing for her right now were bad for her heart, especially when it was raising her hope up.
She took out her phone and decided to send him a ssage. Together with it, she attached the selfie she took while hugging the bouquet of white roses. She had a warm, yet shy smile plastered on her face which only made her look even more adorable.
It was a good thing that she was well dressed up because of the character she was portraying.
[Thank you for sending the gifts. :') ]
She waited for him to reply but while doing so, she was called to shoot for the next scene.
…
anwhile, Si Hongqi was in the middle of a eting when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He took it out only to check when he saw that it was a ssage from Tian Ruyi, his eyes glistened in delight until… he saw the contents.
In an instant, Si Hongqi's face beca black. He didn't send her any gifts at all. If there was another person she could have mistaken him for, then it was none other than his older brother, Si Guanlin.
Did Tian Ruyi et Si Guanlin sowhere? Did his brother know that… she was soone he was beginning to care for?
"M-Mr. Si?"
Everyone in the room was looking his way. The eting had been going for hours and most of them could only hope that it would finally end.
He remained calm under the weight of everyone's stares. He sent another ssage to his driver to prepare his car before he kept his phone back in his pocket. He faced them and began grilling the presentation, yet once again.
"That will be all for today. Sean, I'll leave the rest to you." He patted his assistant's shoulder before he stood up from his seat and left the conference room in a hurry.
When he got on the private elevator, he sent Tian Ruyi a reply this ti: [Where are you?]
He received a reply from her by the ti he got out of the building.
[Tian Ruyi: I'm about to go ho. Why?]
[Si Hongqi: Wait for .]
After sending the reply, he walked towards the black Roll-Royce that was waiting for him at the entrance. As he did, he received another ssage from Tian Ruyi, it was the address of the studio she was currently at. Giving the address to his driver, he ordered him to hurry to the place.
Si Hongqi was sure that if his brother sent her gifts, he must be keeping an eye on her. He had to get to her before Si Guanlin could.
He may have sat back and done nothing despite knowing that his brother was a dangerous man back then in the past, he was not going to allow him to do that anymore. Tian Ruyi was different from Lu ngjie.
When it ca to Lu ngjie, Si Guanlin had no chance to try and poison her mind. Si Hongqi knew that his brother wouldn't be able to use her in whatever sches he had. She had given him plenty of chances in the past, believing that he had goodness in his heart but that was not the case at all. He knew how much his older brother hated her. Lu ngjie was a wonderful person, a kind-hearted lady who saw the good in the world, despite what it had done to her. As a result, Si Guanlin desired to defile her. He intended to stomp on her values. She was the type of person who, no matter what, was always full of hope.
Even up to this day, Si Hongqi wondered why his brother was so keen to bring despair into everyone around him. Did their grandparents feed Si Guanlin's head with any particular ideals?
Si Hongqi's eyes darkened when he rembered their grandparents, the elders of the Si Family had always wanted to overthrow the Han family for years.
The Si family was once the shadow that worked under the Han family's rule in Azure but now that the leader of the Shadow Army was replaced, they wanted to beco independent and instead, they wanted to take over the throne.
That leader, Si Guanlin and Si Hongqi's grandfather worked together with so of the councils and they went as far as to hunt Han Yizhou and his mother. They failed to do so when the Lu family decided to work together with the Han family.
