The filming proceeded smoothly without Cristiano’s watchful eyes.
However, the morning had been too delayed, so they still had to shoot in the afternoon.
To finish the shoot earlier, Caroline ordered takeout boxes.
As everyone prepared to eat lunch, a black, extended Lincoln commercial vehicle drove up. The butler walked to Cristiano and respectfully said, "Sir, the meals are all prepared."
Cristiano nodded, picked up Dou Dou, who was about to eat the takeout, and pulled Du Ruoxin towards the extended commercial vehicle. "Come with me."
"Hey, hey, hey—"
What was going on!
Du Ruoxin was utterly bewildered.
When she saw the dozens of dishes on the dining table inside the car, her eyes nearly bulged out.
This was too exaggerated!
She suddenly recalled photos of female celebrities eating that had been exposed on television, with one person eating twenty to thirty dishes!
There were at least a hundred varieties before her, even more extravagant and exaggerated than those of female celebrities.
Du Ruoxin’s face was marked with a huge "awkward."
"It's all your favorites," Cristiano said, pressing her into the seat.
Du Ruoxin pouted, "How can I possibly eat all this?"
She quickly scanned the food on the table, and a thought sprouted in her mind.
"Eat as much as you can," Cristiano said.
Du Ruoxin: "You know I don't like wasting food." She pointed outside, "Brother, let's move outside to eat. It'll be livelier with more people."
Before Cristiano could answer, she picked up four bowls and placed them in front of him. "I know you like braised pork belly, twice-cooked pork, boiled beef, and maoxuewang. I'll leave them all for you."
Cristiano: "..."
Du Ruoxin opened the car window and shouted outside, "A few people, help me move these things."
Cristiano: "..."
His meticulously prepared private lunch was ruined just like that.
Several male colleagues got into the car. Each one was momentarily stunned by the luxurious interior.
A luxury car was indeed a luxury car!
It was all inlaid with gold and plated with silver, exuding the scent of money everywhere.
"My brother is treating. Come, come, everyone, take these out," Du Ruoxin called out.
Everyone stood frozen, afraid to move: "—"
Sister, haven't you seen your brother’s terrifying face? It’s as if he’ll slaughter anyone who dares to move!
Du Ruoxin knew the atmosphere was tense. She picked up a bowl and thrust it into a male colleague's hand. "Don't just stand there, hurry up and take it."
The male colleagues acted as if they had been injected with adrenaline and disappeared quickly.
Cristiano's expression was truly terrifying. It wasn't like they wanted to eat it!
After everyone had taken the bowls of food, Du Ruoxin smiled and looked at her elder brother. "I won't be able to eat if I eat alone. You wouldn't want to see me starve, would you?"
"Brother, are you coming down to eat with us, or staying here?"
Cristiano glared at her. "What do you think!"
It was precisely because he knew her personality that he hadn't stopped her!
Otherwise...
He would have already broken the hands of those men!
"Hehe." Du Ruoxin chuckled, hugged her daughter, and said, "Let's go. I know you like lively occasions too."
Cristiano stared at the woman's cheerfully departing back and sighed inwardly.
He didn't like lively occasions.
He detested chaotic environments the most.
But because she liked it, he would adapt.
Because without her, no matter how lively or exciting life was, it couldn't warm his scarred heart.
Especially after nearly three years of loss, Cristiano knew that Du Ruoxin was the only ray of hope for his survival.
After lunch, work resumed.
As Caroline was busy on set, a tall and upright figure from behind embraced her.
"Ah!"
She screamed in fright.
She broke free like a runaway bull.
Qin Yunxi hadn't hugged her particularly hard, but with her shout, countless eyes from all over the set darted towards them. He felt a bit awkward.
Casually putting his hands in his pockets, he said, "Why are you so scared?"
Caroline suppressed her physical revulsion and gently patted her chest. "You scared me to death!"
Du Ruoxin thought something had happened and hurried over. "Brother Qin?"
Qin Yunxi greeted her, "Hi, Ruoxin."
Du Ruoxin’s gaze, half-understanding, swept over the two of them—what’s going on?
Qin Yunxi said frankly, "It's just as you're thinking."
Du Ruoxin: "—"
After a moment of stunned silence, she pointed at the two of them. "Are you, dating?"

ps: Author's Note
Ah, it's so painful. My little beast is on vacation. I accompany him to play soccer in the morning, do homework in the afternoon, and swim and exercise in the evening. I have no time for myself all day.
Only when he falls asleep at ten can I stay up late to write for an hour or two.
I really miss the days when he was in school. The entire day was mine, and I could write four, five, six, or seven thousand words.
Ahhhhhh.
It's not that I'm not updating, it's just that summer vacation is killing me!
I really want to give my little beast away. Does anyone want him?
