After ninety-nine online romances, I finally met my ex in person when school started.

A muffled "bang" was heard.

The door of the Mengshi SUV with its white license plate and red lettering was slammed shut. Heavy military boots pounded on the concrete of the film studio, the footsteps crisp and clean, heading straight for the nanny van.

Su Mucheng's peach blossom eyes, which had been carrying a lazy smile, widened instantly, and the color drained completely from her cheeks.

She was very familiar with that car outside.

"Why...why is she here?" Su Mucheng's voice trembled, and she subconsciously gripped Zhu Xunchuan's clothes.

Even though she has millions of fans, she still instinctively feels fear in the face of those powerful heiresses who truly hold the power of life and death.

"What's the panic?" Zhu Xun Chuan's expression remained unchanged, his voice low and steady.

He quickly stood up from the sofa, grabbed the black shirt next to him, and put it on. With a long reach, he lifted Su Mucheng up, blanket and all.

The RV has a large interior space, divided into front and rear compartments. Zhu Xun Chuan strode through the partition and placed Su Mu Cheng on the large, extremely private bed in the inner resting compartment.

"Stay inside, lock the door, and don't make a sound unless I tell you." Zhu Xun Chuan cupped her face in his hands, his fingertips brushing against her slightly pale lips, and whispered the instructions.

Su Mucheng nodded frantically, her eyes reddening, like a frightened fawn.

Zhu Xun Chuan exited the rest cabin and closed the wooden door with a "click". He turned around, quickly buttoning his shirt with one hand while taking a deep breath to dispel the lingering sensual atmosphere in the air.

"Bang bang bang!"

The RV's exterior door was pounded on loudly, accompanied by Shen Tianxi's clear yet dangerous shout: "Zhu Xunchuan! Open the door for me!"

Zhu Xun Chuan walked to the car door, straightened his collar one last time, and pressed the electric unlock button.

The car door slowly slid open.

Sunlight streamed in from outside. Shen Tianxi stood outside the car door, her high ponytail swaying in the wind.

Today she was wearing a black, tight-fitting tank top, camouflage cargo pants, and high-top military boots, showing off her slender waist without reservation. She looked both cool and wild, yet also exuded a fatal charm.

In her left hand, she was also carrying an extremely exquisite three-layered huanghuali wood insulated food box.

Before Zhu Xunchuan could speak, Shen Tianxi stepped onto the stairs. She threw down the food box in her hand, wrapped her arms tightly around Zhu Xunchuan's neck, and straddled him with her long legs, clinging to him like a koala.

"Gotcha!" Shen Tianxi ground her little tiger teeth and bit down on Zhu Xunchuan's collarbone. The force wasn't strong, but it was full of sourness.

Zhu Xun Chuan instinctively supported her pert buttocks to prevent her from slipping down. He took two steps back, closed the car door, and completely blocked the view from outside.

"A dog? Bites people the moment you see them?" Zhu Xun Chuan carried her to the large leather sofa in the outer room, sat down steadily, but did not put her down, letting her straddle his lap.

Shen Tianxi released her mouth, cupped his face in her hands, and stared intently at him with her big eyes, her yandere nature completely erupting.

"Did you skip class and come to this lousy film set on purpose because of that vixen Su Mucheng?" Shen Tianxi's chest heaved, a dangerous glint in her eyes. "I've said it many times, even though I'm a fan of hers and my playlist is full of her songs, she can't possibly steal my man! Don't even think about using visiting the set as an excuse to meet her in secret!"

Her words were incredibly penetrating, echoing throughout the enclosed RV.

Inside the rest cabin, separated by just one door.

Su Mucheng stood barefoot behind the door, her ear pressed tightly against the cold door panel. Upon hearing the words "vixen," her moist red lips instantly bit into a row of deep teeth marks.

She was the nation's first love, the center of attention, showered with flowers and applause wherever she went. Yet now she was like a mistress, forced to hide in a dark cubicle, listening to another woman from a noble family brazenly assert her dominance while simultaneously belittling her.

A surge of intense bitterness and resentment welled up inside her, and tears involuntarily welled up in her eyes. But at the same time, the feeling of adultery and the thrill of it all made her heart pound wildly, and she had to be careful with her breathing, afraid of making a sound.

Outer compartment.

Faced with Shen Tianxi's relentless pressure, Zhu Xun Chuan showed no sign of weakness. He knew all too well what tactics to use when dealing with this kind of spoiled, demanding young lady who wouldn't listen to reason. Explanations would only make things worse; only by being more domineering than her could he instantly regain the initiative.

Zhu Xun Chuan suddenly frowned, raised his hand, and pinched Shen Tianxi's pert nose with extreme precision.

"Ugh—" Shen Tianxi's breath hitched, and her eyes widened.

"I turned down the offer from the boss of Jinghong Entertainment, turned down an eight-figure contract from the production team, and even ignored that crazy woman Pei Yanyu blocking my way. I came all the way to this suburb, and I haven't even had a hot meal yet." Zhu Xun Chuan's voice was deep, with three parts reproach and seven parts doting. "I was catching up on sleep in my car on an empty stomach, and all I could think about was you. And you, you drove all the way here in a beat-up SUV, and the moment you walked in, you started interrogating me without even asking what happened?"

He executed a smooth combo, bringing the essence of turning the tables to its fullest potential.

Shen Tianxi's fierce and sickly face instantly collapsed when her nose was pinched. When she heard that Zhu Xun Chuan had pushed away so many people for her sake, and when she heard that he "missed her on an empty stomach," the anger in her heart was extinguished with a "hiss," leaving only guilt and heartache.

She quickly pulled Zhu Xun Chuan's hand away, and like a kitten that had done something wrong, she rubbed against his chin in a coaxing manner.

"Who...who told you to go around flirting with women? I brought you delicious food from all this way, and you still yell at me." Her voice immediately softened, becoming sweet and coquettish, all traces of her previous arrogance gone.

A hint of a smile flashed in Zhu Xun Chuan's eyes. He released her hand and casually pinched her slender waist: "What did you bring?"

"Authentic Tianjin-style seafood tofu with eight treasures, and delicious salt and pepper mantis shrimp! I had the chef from the military canteen make it specially, and it was kept in an insulated container all the way here, so it's still hot." Shen Tianxi immediately jumped off him like she was showing off a treasure, and picked up the rosewood food box that she had just thrown on the ground.

She skillfully opened the food box, and the rich aroma of seafood instantly filled the carriage.

"Sit still, I'll feed you. These mantis shrimp shells are hard and prickly." Shen Tianxi obediently knelt on the sofa, picked up a golden-fried mantis shrimp, and deftly began to peel it.

Just a door away.

Tears streamed down Su Mucheng's cheeks. She listened as the once arrogant young lady outside now served Zhu Xun Chuan's meal as meekly as a maid.

The phrase "You're all I can think about" pierced Su Mucheng's heart.

Just half an hour ago, he confidently declared that she was "the place I most wanted to keep to myself," and said he would take her to a private island. Now, however, he is using the same deep, seductive voice to coax another woman.

Su Mucheng's legs went weak, and she slid down the door panel onto the carpet. She buried her face in her knees, biting her hand hard to keep herself from making a sound.

Instead of being angry with Zhu Xunchuan, she felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. She knew all too well that neither Shen Tianxi outside nor Xia Wanying on screen could provide Zhu Xunchuan with the power, wealth, and protection that she, a female celebrity who could only sing, could not.

Her only bargaining chip was Zhu Xun Chuan's infatuation with her body and her unwavering obedience. If even that was taken away, she would truly have nothing left.

On the sofa in the outer room, the atmosphere was completely under Zhu Xun Chuan's control.

Zhu Xun Chuan leaned back in his chair, comfortably enjoying the feeding from the military district's young lady. As the sweet shrimp meat was brought to his lips, he opened his mouth and took a bite, his tongue lightly brushing against Shen Tianxi's delicate white fingertips.

Shen Tianxi recoiled as if electrocuted, a blush rising to her cheeks. She glared at him reproachfully, "You're so annoying. Eat your food properly."

"The ones you feed me are sweeter," Zhu Xun Chuan casually uttered a sweet nothing.

Shen Tianxi couldn't help but smile, her inner alarm bells already mostly gone. She continued to focus on the enormous mantis shrimp in her hand.

However, just as she was handing over the peeled shrimp meat again, her movements suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Shen Tianxi frowned her delicate brows and took two deep breaths through her small nose.

The rich aroma of seafood masked many other smells, but as the two drew closer, a faint yet incredibly penetrating sweet fragrance entered her nostrils.

This is definitely not the crisp, woody scent that Zhu Xun Chuan wears.

"Strange..." Shen Tianxi narrowed her eyes suspiciously, her gaze sweeping over Zhu Xunchuan's black shirt before fixing on his collar. "Why does your car smell so strongly of peach perfume?"
