She was at least the only girlfriend LI Yancheng had ever acknowledged.
No actress could compare to her.
Bai Jinxi didnât follow Wu Wanying directly to the ward. Instead, she washed her face and took a few moments to calm down before leaving the bathroom.
As she descended the stairs, she ran into a young man wearing a mask and sunglasses.
Despite his heavy disguise, Bai Jinxi recognized Su Yang by the scar on his hand.
Her expression changed. She glanced around furtively, ensuring no one was nearby before she spoke, âWhat are you doing here? How many times have I told you not to come looking for me? This is a hospital. What if someone sees us?â
Fortunately, LI Yanchenâs secretary had already left. If anyone found out about her past with Su Yang, it would be disastrous.
Seeing no response from Su Yang, Bai Jinxi frowned and was about to speak again when a voice called out.
âSu God!â
Director Qin hurried over. âSu God, why did you come up by yourself? Teacher Si just went to check on a patient in the ward. Please wait in the lounge; this place is quite complicated, and I donât want you to get lost.â
Su Yang nodded, not even glancing at Bai Jinxi, and followed the staff.
Director Qin had noticed Bai Jinxiâs attempts to sabotage Si Fuqing.
But he didnât care about her motives. He said calmly, âSu God and Teacher Si are close friends. Donât overestimate your importance, and donât bother him.â
Bai Jinxiâs face turned crimson, and her mind went blank for a moment.
Her nails dug into her palms as she almost blurted out that she was Su Yangâs childhood girlfriend.
But she swallowed her words.
Unable to muster even a smile, Bai Jinxi said, âI didnât mean that, Director.â
âThen what do you mean?â Director Qin was uninterested. âSu God has many obsessive fans. I hope you understand your position.â
He didnât bother with Bai Jinxi anymore and hurried away.
Furious, Bai Jinxiâs chest heaved, and her heart ached.
Again, it was because of Si Fuqing!
She was determined to uncover Si Fuqingâs backer and destroy her reputation as the âethics committee officerâ of the entertainment industry before the recording ended.
Bai Jinxi, with a cold expression, headed to the ward.
Today was the last day of the second round of internships, and two more interns would be eliminated.
Wei Chengyunâs internship scores had consistently been in the top three, making an offer almost certain.
After finishing at six, he returned to Great Xia University.
Upon arriving, he saw his roommate already in front of the computer, logged into the Starlight TV app.
Wei Chengyun casually remarked, âActing is just one of her many skills.â
âDamn, I forgot you and she are in the same variety show!â His roommate suddenly got excited. âAny spoilers? Tell me, does that Celestial Ruler die by a thousand cuts, then get sent to the eighteen floor of hell?â
With the success of âCrossing the Demon Realm,â many in Great Xia Universityâs medical school regretted not signing up for âThe Birth of An Employee.â
Getting an offer was secondary; the main attraction was working closely with Si Fuqing.
His roommate lamented, âCan you get me an autograph? Weâve been roommates for three years; itâs a small request.â
Wei Chengyun sighed.

Meanwhile.
Si Fuqing picked up Old Master JI and JI Xingzhi, who were eating street foods, from the pedestrian street, and together they went to LI Yuzhiâs place.
LI Yuzhi had been waiting for them.
Having exhausted all options, he had sought out many extraordinary people, but to no avail.
Yet he wouldnât give up.
As long as he lived, he would continue searching for his child.
The position of heir to the LI family was less appealing to LI Yuzhi compared to finding his child.
LI Yuzhi didnât know Old Master Jiâs identity, but he was very respectful. âTake as long as you need, sir. I can wait.â
Old Master JI nodded. âIt will take some time, but rest assured, Mr. LI. As long as I find a clue, I can locate your son.â
LI Yuzhiâs tense expression relaxed, and he began recounting past events.
Around 7:30, there was a knock on the apartment door.
LI Yuzhi opened it and was surprised to see the visitor. âShiyan?â
Yu Xiheng, still in his wheelchair, smiled slightly. âIâm here to find someone.â
LI Yuzhi understood. âMiss Si is indeed here.â
He pushed the wheelchair-bound man inside.
Old Master JI glanced over and his expression changed to one of astonishment. âSo strong!â
Despite Yu Xihengâs deliberate restraint, Old Master JI could see his immense luck.
Whether a son of luck or a purple star descending, such individuals appeared only once every few centuries.
And now, there were two of them before him!
Old Master JI focused his spiritual energy and opened his eyes of Yin-Yang.
He saw a continuous stream of luck converging on Si Fuqing, and when Yu Xiheng approached her, the flow accelerated.
Complementing each other, it was indeed a rare phenomenon.
JI Xingzhi whispered, âOld man, I told my big brother that her bossâs luck was strong and could enhance her own luck absorption. Was I wrong?â
Old Master JI gave him a sidelong glance. âYou at least have some insight.â
JI Xingzhi grinned. âOf course.â
When Si Fuqing saw Yu Xiheng, she immediately offered him some fruit. âBoss, have an apple. Itâs good for you.â
Yu Xiheng nodded, taking the apple. He noticed she sat close to him, not leaving any space between them.
Feeling her warmth through their clothes, Yu Xiheng fell silent for a moment. âWhat are you doing?â
Without hesitation, Si Fuqing said, âIâm rubbing off of you!â
âPfftâ!â
LI Yuzhi, who had just taken a sip of water, sprayed it out. âSorry, sorry, that wasnât intentional.â
Miss Si was indeed still a young girl, completely unrestrained with her words.
However, Shiyan was a normal man after all.
Was he really unaffected?
LI Yuzhi pondered over this.
âRubbing off me? That term isnât quite accurate,â Yu Xiheng replied leisurely. âYouâre not rubbing ; at most, youâre leaning. Do you need me to show you what real rubbing looks like?â
Si Fuqing was speechless.
Sometimes, speaking faster than thinking could be so embarrassing.
She just wanted to benefit from his luck.
âI didnât say anything!â Si Fuqing buried her head in a pillow. âLetâs watch the show, itâs starting.â
Yu Xiheng said nothing more, only smiled slightly. âAlright, lady.â

Early the next morning, a private jet from the Muston Dukedom arrived at the Sijiu City International Airport.
As the Duke of Muston, Raphael was on a private visit this time and had not informed anyone else.
There was an advertisement featuring Si Fuqing at the airport.
âHow famous is she in the Great Xia Empire?â Raphael asked upon seeing it. âSheâs on IFTV, so she must be a top actress, right?â
The head guard quickly handed over Si Fuqingâs information.
After reading it, Raphael fell silent.
Just one TV series?
The head guard spoke up at the right time, âShe debuted three years ago and spent two and a half years being heavily criticized online. Sheâs just now starting to gain popularity.â
âA natural-born genius? Not bad, not bad, just like me,â Raphael nodded. âAh, speaking of natural-born geniuses, I have to mention myâ¦â
Every time he reached this point, he would stop.
The head guard was also puzzled, wondering who Raphael was referring to.
But as a subordinate, it wasnât his place to ask. âYour Highness, where are we headed?â
âItâs rare to find a good show to follow, so of course, I have to meet the lead actress.â Raphael snapped his fingers. âFind out where she is, and Iâll go deliver something.â
He had plenty of money and could afford to give some away.
