Sister Jun’s tone turned serious. “You should know what’s the most important thing for you right now. Actresses of your age are all advertised as single, but you already have a daughter, whom you secretly gave birth to overseas. While I can help you keep that as a secret, if you dare to hook up with a gigolo, I guarantee you that your road ahead will be much rougher. You’re also aware of how easily female stars are eliminated in the competitive industry we’re in.”

Shi Su did not say anything else to defend herself and just nodded. “I know.”

The other woman gazed at the bed again, thinking how it really looked like someone had slept on it during the day, and felt even more certain that this stupid girl had been deceived by a gigolo to the point that the person was permitted to sleep here.

She approached the bathroom with a grim face, but instead of going in, she just said loudly to the door, “Our Shi Su will be joining a production crew this coming week. The filming will take a long time, and the workload is quite heavy, too. As a single mother, it’s very difficult for her to work in showbiz. Don’t think of leeching off her just because of her career. Please have some conscience and find another woman to take advantage of!”

Once she finished speaking, she glared at her junior sister again. “Cut off this relationship before you join the crew!”

Shi Su: “…You’re really misunderstanding things.”

The other party did not want to hear any more excuses from her and directly headed toward the exit.

She hurriedly escorted the woman out before returning to the master bedroom. The man had already come out of the bathroom, but because of his serious injury, he could not walk fast and had only managed to get past the door.

Upon meeting his eyes, she suddenly felt awkward. “Sister Jun has a sharp tongue, and you also know that it’s all a misunderstanding. She’s not really scolding you, so I hope that you won’t hold a grudge.”

It was indeed a misunderstanding, so Jing Jihan naturally did not feel angry. After a bout of silence, he asked coldly, “Actress? A female star?”

Not expecting the man to speak in such a questioning tone, she peered suspiciously at him. “What?”

The man turned around and walked back to the bed instead of answering. Leaving her with his back view, he merely threw an indifferent sentence. “You don’t look like it.”

Shi Su: “?!”

“If I rented a high-end apartment in the city, wore designer clothes, used a Himalayan Birkin, drove a fancy car, and trended online daily, would I look more like one?” Having been unjustly accused by her senior sister earlier, Shi Su’s anger had finally flared up at this moment.

Jing Jihan sat back calmly on the bed, picked up the razor, and casually opened its packaging. He then fiddled with the item, seemingly to inspect it and to help the woman understand how it was used. Eventually, he said sans any emotion, “Your porridge is delicious. Celebrities usually don’t have excellent cooking skills.”

Her expression eased somewhat. “Smooth-talker.” She then looked at the man warily. “You don’t sound like you have amnesia. Who on Earth are you really?”

Putting down the razor in his hand, the man looked up. His side-profile was handsome and his deep-set eyes were clear. “I don’t remember, but I can perform basic actions and still have ideas of certain matters.”

In short, although he had lost his memory, his IQ had no problem. His perception and evaluation did not conflict with the fact that he had amnesia and with his inability to recall who he was.

Shi Su stared at the man for a long time before eventually realizing that she was the problem. Without asking anymore questions, she turned around and left the room.

If he refused to talk, then it was pointless for her to continue asking.

She was suspicious of the man actually having amnesia after falling off the cliff, and now she was in even more doubt!

He was incredibly shrewd.

As if she could believe him!
