Qi Huan didn’t expect Qu Jianshen to really name the doll Huan Huan, but the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong.
“I gave this to you, so I should be the one to name it.” She called Qu Jianshen directly to show her displeasure.
As if he had guessed that she would call, Qu Jianshen was not surprised and asked with a smile, “What name do you want to pick?”
Qi Huan thought for a moment and said, “Shen Shen?”
“What’s the difference between that and my name, Huanhuan?” Qu Jianshen laughed lightly.
Qi Huan immediately argued, “Of course there is a difference. I think this one is more suitable!”
Qu Jianshen smiled again and said, “But I like the name Huan Huan.”
“That’s not right. I’m the only one in the world who can be called “Huanhuan.” Qi Huan was dissatisfied. “Even a doll can’t be called.”

How could he say that it was intentional?
Slander! This was naked… naked… This was a naked slander!
Qi Huan puffed up her cheeks and said with dissatisfaction, “It was obviously because I was scared by the stories told by my classmates, and there was no one at home that I got scared. Qu Jianshen, you really know how to turn black and white upside down.”
She was just young and scared. There were no mice in the house, and nothing like that would have happened.
“And then you hugged me and wouldn’t let go?” Qu Jianshen asked in a languid tone.
Qi Huan stammered, “It was just an accident!”
“Is that so?” Qu Jianshen laughed lightly, “It’s getting late. Good night.”
Qi Huan:?
That was it? She had a lot of reasons prepared that she hadn’t said yet!

Qi Huan’s new comic had already started to be conceived, and after a long discussion with her editor, she decided to draw a modern comic this time. She had always drawn ancient times before, and modern times were also a first challenge.
She had just finished chatting with her editor about the plot outline when Qu Jianyi sent her a message from her side, which included a picture of her in her ancient costume. Her eyebrows were dotted with flower inlays, and she looked bright and lovely.
And her background seemed to be on the set of drama.
[Qu Jianyi]: Sister Huanhuan, I got a small role, although it’s only a few lines!
Qi Huan called Qu Jianyi straight away, “Are you on the set now?”
“I just got back.” Qu Jianyi sounded a bit excited, “An assistant director handed me his card, so I went there. It was an ancient costume drama script. I played a showgirl who had just entered the palace, but because I was too flamboyant when dancing, I was soon killed.”
Qi Huan laughed along with her, “You’re so happy with a few lines?”
“Sister Huanhuan, you don’t know, but many people are looking for a role like mine. After all, it’s one that will appear on TV with close-up lines. Qu Jianyi said happily, “I got the role because I have a more flattering appearance and I’ve studied dancing!”
Qi Huan congratulated her. “That’s one step closer to your dream. Congratulations.”
“Mostly I’m a bit worried now.” After being happy, Qu Jianyi quickly wilted again, “I’m so afraid that my brother will find out. Today, someone from the agency handed me a business card and asked me if I would like to sign a contract. I’m very moved. But I dare not.”
“It’s still important to be cautious when signing a contract. It’s still very important whether the company is good or not.” Qi Huan pondered for a while and said, “Qu Jianshen is indeed a bomb. I think we can briefly test his current attitude first. Maybe it will soften. It’s better to make plans for the future.”
“Sister Huanhuan is right!” Qu Jianyi’s heart leapt for joy and she immediately added, “Then I’ll go and test my brother right now!”
She then hurriedly hung up the phone.
Qi Huan laughed helplessly and continued her painting.
Not a moment later, Qu Jianyi called again, “Woohoo, my brother said not to even think about it.”
Qi Huan:”…..”
“He’s so annoying. I’m so old and I still have to be under his control.” Qu Jianyi muttered.
Qi Huan also didn’t expect that Qu Jianshen’s attitude hadn’t changed at all after so many years. She frowned and said, “Then hide it from him first, and then see how it goes afterwards.”
Qu Jianyi nodded, “Okay.”

The first two episodes of the script had already come out, and the project leader even gave the two episodes of the script to Qi Huan to read.
After reading them, Qi Huan couldn’t help but sigh that the scripts were even better than her comics.
The casting of the lead role has almost been decided. He is not a first-line actor, but his appearance is very suitable. He was from a professional class, and his acting skills are also guaranteed.
As Qi Huan listened to Xu Muqing’s introduction, she was suddenly full of anticipation for the film and television version of this work. “I kind of know why all the works made by Hong Sheng are on fire; they are so heartfelt.”
She even looked at the photos of the construction of some scenes; even the clothes of the main characters and supporting characters were all recreated one-to-one from the manga.
“After all, it’s presented to the audience. It can’t be perfunctory.” Xu Muqing smiled, “If you’re satisfied, we’ll continue to do it according to this.”
Qi Huan nodded her head repeatedly, “Satisfied, of course I’m satisfied.”
After she finished, she asked doubtfully, “But I’m only the original author, so it doesn’t seem to be that important that I’m satisfied, right?”
After all, comics and scripts are considered different ways of presentation. As long as the core of the original was respected, there was an explanation for the original author.
“Naturally, it’s important.” Xu Muqing’s eyebrows sank slightly, “How can it not be important if it satisfies you?”
Qi Huan met his eyes and was shocked. Then, she smiled lightly and said, “I heard before that senior had taken care of the students of Xidai University. At that time, I thought it was just a rumour, but it turned out to be true. “
Xu Muqing was slightly stunned for a moment, then asked, “You think so?”
Qi Huan nodded almost immediately and said in a serious tone, “Thank you senior for taking care of us schoolmates. I will definitely follow senior’s example and learn from him as well! “
Xu Muqing’s eyes darkened slightly, but he smiled in an instant, “Then since you thank me so much, it’s okay to treat me to a meal, right?”
Qi Huan followed and froze for a moment, a little unsure of how to react, but still said, “I’m really grateful to Senior for treating my work so well. It’s only right to treat you to dinner. “
“Next time.” Xu Muqing smiled faintly, “We’ll make another date.”

Qu Jianyi never expected Qu Jianshen to come straight after the crew. She had taken a new small role, the kind that served as a backdrop for the main cast.
She had just finished filming when she felt the look of death.
Without even thinking, Qu Jianyi ran in the opposite direction, only to have Xu Ling come out on that side.
“Miss Jianyi, the boss wants to talk to you.”
“…… ” Talk to you big head oh!
Qu Jianyi smiled and stared at Xu Ling, then said, “Xu Ling, if you get out of the way, I won’t tell my brother about you eating durian candy in the car earlier.”
“The boss already knows.” Xu Ling did not want to recall that painful memory.
Qu Jianyi: “……”
Damnit, the handle was gone!
Qu Jianshen snorted lightly and said, “You have three seconds to get in the car, or you know what the consequences are.”
Qu Jianyi lowered her head angrily and got into the car.
The car was still parked where it was, but the temperature inside had dropped to a freezing point.
Qu Jianshen raised his eyes and gave her a faint look, “I remember I said that you were not allowed to enter the entertainment industry. You didn’t listen to a single word? “
“Why am I not allowed to enter the entertainment industry? I am already an adult; I have my own choice!” At this moment, Qu Jianyi’s anger was also rising.
She didn’t even need to guess to know that Qu Jianshen must have asked Xu Ling to investigate her whereabouts. Coming straight to the set to look for her like this, being bossy and rude was the most annoying behaviour.
Qu Jianyi also broke down and stared at Qu Jianshen, “Brother, why do you have the right to control me like this? Why don’t you agree to something that both parents agree to? You are obviously the one with the bigger problem!”
Qu Jianshen frowned: “I told you how dirty the entertainment industry is. It’s for your own good that you don’t go in. “
“I just want to get in!” Qu Jianyi argued.
Qu Jianshen laughed coldly, “Try it. From tomorrow onwards, you can see which drama group dares to let you into the film, even if it’s to play a corpse. “
Qu Jianyi’s eyes were red as she gritted her teeth, “Brother, you’re really annoying! No wonder Sister Huanhuan doesn’t like you! You deserve it!”
Qu Jianshen looked slightly stunned and did not say anything.
After Qu Jianyi finished speaking, she opened the car door and ran out.
When Qi Huan heard the doorbell, she was also a bit surprised, until she opened the door and saw Qu Jianyi, then she was even more surprised.
“What are you doing here, Jianyi?” She saw that Qu Jianyi’s eyes were red, as if she had just cried, so she couldn’t help but ask again, “Did someone bully you?”
When Qu Jianyi entered the door, she hugged Qi Huan tightly and cried out, “My brother found out about my filming. He said that if I dare to enter the entertainment industry again, he will block me, so I don’t have any chance.”
Qi Huan frowned, “He really said that?”
After coming to the living room and sitting down, Qu Jianyi then told Qi Huan the details of what had happened, during which she couldn’t help but add fuel to the fire about how bad Qu Jianshen’s tone was.
“He’s so excessive and vicious!” Qu Jianyi hummed, “Sister Huanhuan, you made the right choice in not liking my brother. I support you in breaking off the engagement. He’s really nasty. Who likes to live with such a person? “
Qi Huan looked at her worriedly, “Then what will you do in the future?”
Qu Jianyi lowered her head and couldn’t help but choke up again, “I don’t know. You know how powerful my brother is? I’m afraid if he is determined to shut me down, I won’t be able to film. But I really like filming; it’s fun to be able to interpret the lives of different characters. “
Qi Huan stroked her head and said, “I’ll help you think of a way.”
***
After sending Qu Jianyi away, Qi Huan gave Qu Jianshen a call directly.
“Where are you?” she asked.
“The company.” The answer there was quick.
After hanging up the phone, Qi Huan went straight to He-Yuan.
The secretary’s office was not surprised by Qi Huan’s arrival and directly let her go to Qu Jianshen’s office.
Qi Huan was not polite, opening the door with a bang and closing it again with a bang.
A few secretaries gathered together and couldn’t help but comment on the scene.
“Another fight?”
“Probably the kind of quarrel between lovers again.”
“Wow, exciting!”
Qi Huan couldn’t hear what the people outside were saying, so she rushed to Qu Jianshen and questioned, “Why are you interfering with Jianyi’s life?”
Qu Jianshen was not surprised at all, and replied as usual: “The entertainment industry is a big dye pot. I don’t want her to be polluted. “
Qi Huan had anger in her eyes, “You can give Ji Xiao a supporting role in a famous director’s movie, and you can also threaten Jianyi so that she can never get any more movies. I don’t believe you can’t protect Jianyi from the pollution of the entertainment industry.”
Qu Jianshen said, “But she will see the filth, and I still want her to live a simple life.”
“So just ignore her preferences and life?” Qi Huan raised her eyes to confront him.
Qu Jianshen nodded slightly, “I think she has a better life.”
Qi Huan laughed silently, then asked, “Qu Jianshen, do you know why I want to break off the engagement?”
The corners of Qu Jianshen’s lips pursed slightly, but he did not answer.
Qi Huan looked at him with indifference in her tone, “Because I hate you.”
I personally feel that you should step on people feelings like this. It’s true he wants to protect his sister and his method maybe to strong but he is right. This industry too many unspoken things happened that leave scars on women.
And huanhuan shouldn’t use the fact he like her to say things like that. He had done enough things to show his affection and care. That is a big fat no
THANK YOU! I ABSOLUTELY HATED that tbh. It was crappy and she got away with it. It made me dislike her.
I made a typo, sorry. Let me correct it:
I personally feel that you shouldn’t step on people feelings like this.
It’s around here I started disliking her a bit. She was always unreasonable, but this annoyed me. What bothered me is that she never apologised either. She truly thought she was right.
First off I feel like even if Qi Huan is close with the Qu family. It’s still not her place to step in the issue between him and sister, I mean sure she can help out a little bit and give her pov and such but at the end of the day its not her business. And for her to say things like that to him isn’t also right either.
Honestly, Jianshen carried this book because he was such a great ML. HE was truly awesome. I loved the book mostly because of him. One like me would have told he to go screw herself tbh. No matter how much I love someone, it’s not your place to dictate how i do things, and you certainly can’t throw my feelings in my face like that. I don’t care. She never even apologised for it or thought she was wrong either. When you look at it, she is nothing more than a spoilt brat who thinks her own opinions, feelings, and situations matter. She never even tried to meet him half way on anything. Everything in this book is him going out of his way for her and her hating him for no reason. Phewww, I really needed to vent a bit, yes.
🤣🤣Translator Nim 🤣🤣🤣
But she was in fact not caring enough.
