A couple of months passed, Warming and Xiao Bai's scenes were nearing their end. Due to Xiao Bai's schedule and identity issues, his scenes were shot consecutively. Half of Warming's scenes were filmed alongside Xiao Bai; once his part was completed, hers would be finished too. This portion involved post-production issues—after finishing this film, Xiao Bai had to return to America, and he would only come back if additional scenes needed to be added after editing.

The filming of "Liang Hongyu" was progressing well; Peng Shuyao, Chen Xiuli, and Yang Yang were major stars with not too many scenes. Once Xiao Bai's part ended, most of their scenes would also conclude.

However, there were still plenty of remaining scenes to be filmed—Lin Ning estimated it would take several more months. Both Warming and Xiao Bai were exceptionally talented actors; they had gradually developed a sense of rapport during collaboration, saving much time on set. Others, however, worked at a different pace as Lin Ning aimed to blend artistry with commercial appeal in this film, demanding perfection from everyone else.

Over these few months, Warming was busy—either on set or attending school; occasionally, she'd work late into the night for events and advertisements. Her schedule was hectic and erratic, lacking much rest time.

Ye Feimo felt extremely concerned but did not try to persuade her otherwise.

Once Warming focused, no one could dissuade her—she took this project far more seriously than "Beauty Bewitching."

After Xiao Bai wrapped his scenes, he left A City in a hurry due to urgent Mafia business. By the time Warming called him again, he was already in America.

During this period, Han Bi joined Huayun's production of "A Lady of Charm." This was another big-budget film; Huayun fully supported Han Bi and Ning An for a battle of public favor. Rumor had it that the Du family invested an extra hundred million RMB to ensure "A Lady of Charm" would be as realistic and perfect as possible, surpassing Ning An's work—a film with all its parts shining brightly. With Han Bi starring alongside numerous top-tier domestic actors, the production was quite formidable.

"Liang Hongyu" and "A Lady of Charm" became the most anticipated films for that year, their names often appearing together in magazines and newspapers due to mutual promotional efforts by investors aiming for publicity and fame.

Warming and Han Bi were fully committed to this battle.

Lynn put a lot of effort into this film, from editing to lighting, photography, costumes... he aimed for perfection in every aspect. He considers this work as a milestone piece in his career.

The chance of asking Mo Xiaobai to star in another film domestically is almost zero now; this time, he purely did it out of kindness for him and for Nuwan, plus the fact that it was fun, otherwise getting her agreement would be quite difficult.

With the perfect timing and conditions, along with his cultivation efforts, he believes this film will definitely become a標誌性作品 in his career.

During this period, the College Student Film Festival was held. "Beauty Topples the City" won overwhelmingly. This time, Nuwan received the Most Popular Female Actor Award at the college student film festival.

Recently, Nuwan has been feeling very uncomfortable physically; she had morning dizziness and nausea, her complexion pale. With the film shooting for nearly four months, her scenes were mostly concentrated in this period and were almost complete. Seeing how poorly she looked, Lynn asked her to rest for two more days.

These past few days have been very tense for her; it was summer break, but being with Ye Feimo, filming the movie, and preparing for exams kept her busy until late hours of the night. Added to that were the power struggles in the Liang Hongyu drama crew. Between Li Yuanyuan and Chen Xiuli, everyone seemed intent on eliminating her. She almost got injured by Li Yuanyuan during their scenes together; this interpersonal relationship in the production team greatly troubled Nuwan, just thinking about it was terrifying.

Her constitution is extremely good, yet even the best body can't withstand such exhaustive work and mental strain.

After resting for two days, her complexion improved considerably. She then continued shooting the remaining scenes. Knowing she wasn’t feeling well, Lynn wanted to complete her scenes as quickly as possible before moving on to others'. The film started filming at the beginning of the year and is scheduled for release in the New Year's holiday season; if it doesn't make it in time, they'll push back its release until next summer.

"Nuwan, how long has your period been overdue" Cai Xiaojing suddenly asked her during a break.

During lunch, Nuwan threw up most of the food she ate and only managed to drink one glass of milk before losing her appetite. She lay down to rest with closed eyes; Cai Xiaojing thoughtfully inquired about it.

Nuwan opened her eyes and smiled: "Sis Xiaojing, you're overthinking. I’m not pregnant. Feimo asked me a few days ago because I was always dry heaving. My period came just last week; recently being so busy threw my menstrual cycle off track. It might be due to the stress, leading to some hormonal imbalance. After this film is done, I'll go see a doctor."

Cai Xiao Jing frowned and said, "You really look like you might be pregnant..."

Suddenly hearing voices outside, Cai Xiao Jing perked up and opened the dressing room door. No one was there; a crew member girl and boy were chatting nearby. The dressing room had been set up temporarily on the set, but with just wooden boards for separation, soundproofing wasn't very good.

Seeing no one around, Cai Xiao Jing returned inside, "Since your period has already started, that means everything's fine. Why do you keep feeling nauseous"

"I don’t know, maybe I’m just too tired." Warming yawned and felt drowsy; Cai Xiao Jing didn't bother her further but quietly left the dressing room.

Neither of them expected that the next day, Green Light Daily would report on Warming’s pregnancy, complete with details suggesting it was Ye Nimoh's baby. The source was reportedly a crew member who had overheard their conversation by chance.

Warming didn’t know about this until she was surrounded by reporters at the set, dozens of them swarming around her asking if she was pregnant, if she’d ruined Ye Nimoh’s life, and whether she would be marrying into a high-society family due to their child...

Cai Xiao Jing and Lin Ning had the staff on set block off the reporters for nearly an hour before calming things down. Cai Xiao Jing was furious; how could that crew member have known such details Such news wouldn’t have been published by Green Light Daily from a mere crew member’s tip-off; it must be one of the bigwigs who overheard their conversation but didn’t get all the facts and then spread rumors.

"In my last life, I must’ve been mute to talk so much in this one." Cai Xiao Jing shouted angrily on set.

Li Yuanyuan wasn’t at the shoot today; only Chen Xiuli and Yang Yang were there. The two of them had never gotten along well and sat separately chatting with their usual contacts. Lin Ning frowned, while Warming tugged at Cai Xiao Jing’s hand, "Sis Xiao Jing, forget it."

Cai Xiao Jing gave a cold snort.

Warming smiled gently as she looked down; somehow, in recent months, her mood had become even calmer and more composed.

...

The news of Warm's pregnancy quickly filled the entertainment circle, even startling Ye Sanshao and Anya who were traveling abroad. Cheng Anya called back to ask Ye Feimo, "Is it true that Warm is pregnant"

"Some people are just speculating. Do you believe in Green Light's message too"

"Where there's smoke, there's fire. They talk as if it's true; I can't help but believe them. But could it be fake"

"She had her period recently. How could she possibly be pregnant" Ye Feimo laughed.

"I thought I was going to become a grandmother again," Cheng Anyi sighed.

"Encourage your brother and sister-in-law."

"Why don't you work hard then"

"I do work hard, but my son doesn’t cooperate. What can I do about it" Ye Feimo joked while looking at the documents.

Cheng Anyi: "..."
