Chapter 1043: Do Not Harm My Child (6)
After she walked some distance away from the props department, a smirk appeared on her face.
She was sure Qiao Lian would lose her child this time.
At this thought, she reached for her cell phone and sent Lu Nanze a message: [Second Brother, don’t worry, I’ve settled the matter.]
Satisfied, she returned to her hotel room.

Shen Liangchuan stared intently at the live stream with a faint smile on his face, as he listened to Qiao Lian’s comments.
What a lazy girl she was.
Even with a new account, she had kept the old pa.s.sword.
From now on, every time she played with Prince, he would be sure to push her out.
At this thought, he smugly sat back with his arms behind his head and continued to focus on the cell phone screen.
9 p.m. He heard her yawn.
He paused and was about to type a message asking her to rest, when she said, “That’s all for today. See you tomorrow, everyone!”
Then the screen went blank.
At once, a heavy silence fell over the hotel room.
And a void in his heart became suddenly noticeable.
It was as though something in him had disappeared.
When he had had her voice in the background a moment ago, he had felt fine, but now…
He sighed.
Then his gaze fell on the doorway.
After a moment, he stood up and walked to the door. He peered through the peephole. The corridor was empty.
He opened the room door and stepped out with the intention to walk towards Qiao Lian’s room. But then with a creak, Prince’s room door swung open too.
Shen Liangchuan was slightly surprised.
Their eyes met in silence. Finally, both of them simultaneously turned around and went back into their own rooms.

The next morning, Qiao Lian woke up before the alarm rang.
She went to the filming location after was.h.i.+ng up.
When she arrived at the entrance of the lounge, she heard the flurry of comments circulating around the room.
“Have you heard? That female caster, Love Chuan, hooked up with Best Actor Shen.”
“Indeed, otherwise how could she possibly have gotten the female lead role?”
“That’s impossible. Isn’t Best Actor Shen married?”
“So what if he is? Don’t you know the things that go on in the industry? Besides, that Love Chuan is indeed quite pretty.”
“But if this were really the case, then wouldn’t Mrs. Shen be really pitiful?!”
There were also some voices that were saying, “Don’t speak nonsense. These remarks you’re making, do you have proof?”
On this note, Water Incense sn.i.g.g.e.red icily and said, “Proof? I saw with my own eyes Best Actor Shen walking out of her hotel room. Do you think that those two were discussing the script at that time of the night?”
“Huh? Is that true?!”
“Dang, this Love Chuan is good! She’s even managed to hook up with someone like Best Actor Shen.”
“Tshhh, no matter what, she’s his mistress. That’s the sort of people I despise the most!”
The comments flew to and fro in the room.
Qiao Lian stood out listening to this and couldn’t help but laugh coldly.
She had known that, as a beginner, appearing from nowhere to take the leading role would ruffle some feathers. But to create rumors like this… Qiao Lian was speechless.
She appeared at the doorway and walked into the lounge with her head held high.
The moment she entered the room, everyone fell silent.
They looked at her with an awkward and embarra.s.sed expression on their faces.
All of them, apart from Water Incense, because her back was to Qiao Lian and she hadn’t heard Qiao Lian come in.
Seeing that everyone had gone quiet, Water Incense continued, “Why aren’t you guys talking? I do feel that Love Chuan is rather shameless. Hooking up with a man who has a wife! Think about how pitiful Mrs. Shen in Beijing would be?”
