"What do you mean?" Ye Chen let out a strange yell, his face showing an expression of disbelief.

Who was Liu Shihua? She was a fighter jet among stars, an invincible super celebrity known for her fierce presence and unrivaled snark. How could she show such a pitiful and adorable side? That didn't make any sense!

"Oh, stop it! Tell me what you think, how do you find me?" Liu Shihua said, somewhat embarrassed. "Do you think I'm pretty?"

"Uh!"

Ye Chen swallowed hard, completely baffled by Liu Shihua's intentions. Could it be that the superstar was planning to coerce him into something?

"Between Xinlan and me, who do you think is prettier?" Liu Shihua suddenly stepped forward. "Come on, say it! And don't hesitate for even a second!"

"You're prettier!" Ye Chen blurted out instinctively.

"Giggle!" Upon hearing his response, Liu Shihua seemed exceedingly pleased, her whole being radiant with delight as she let out a series of charming giggles.

"Liu Shihua, you couldn't possibly have fallen for me, could you?" Ye Chen speculated, although it seemed like an implausible thought, given Liu Shihua's strange behavior.

"Kiss me!"

"..."

Liu Shihua was known for her quirky and sharp persona, usually presenting as a blunt, headstrong figure. But there was no doubt that the superstar was a clever woman.

However, Liu Shihua's current antics left Ye Chen struggling to understand her.

"Haha." Liu Shihua jumped back three steps and picked up a phone. "I've recorded the scene where you kissed me just now. If you dare tell Xinlan, I'll show her the video!"

"You recorded a video with your phone?" The color drained from Ye Chen's face as he saw the phone in Liu Shihua's hand. "Give it here, delete it right away!"

Ye Chen hated lingering threats; they were like time bombs, ready to explode at any moment and possibly cost him dearly.

"Don't move!" Liu Shihua warned frantically. "If you take even one step forward, I'll scream harassment, and Xinlan will be here in seconds. Do you believe me?"

Hearing Liu Shihua so resolute, Ye Chen didn't dare to make a move. His relationship with Zhang Xinlan had just started to improve; such chaos would be akin to the sky falling down on him!

"You win!" Ye Chen threw up his hands in surrender. "Liu Shihua, what on earth are you plotting? Can you just tell me now?"

The superstar must have some unspeakable secret to resort to such underhanded techniques—a blackmailing ploy, for sure!

"I forbid you to do 'that' with Xinlan!" Liu Shihua warned in an extremely serious and earnest tone.

Ye Chen, surprised by her words, responded, "Why? It's not illegal for me to do 'that' with my girlfriend, is it?"

"No, it's not okay. I just don't agree, and if you dare refuse me, I'll show the video to Xinlan!" Liu Shihua threatened.

Over time, Liu Shihua's feelings for Ye Chen had grown increasingly complex, nuances that she dared not reveal.

She only knew she enjoyed their verbal sparring more and more, and loved to tease him with her poison tongue, because she knew Ye Chen would never fall out with her. Being with him gave her an unprecedented sense of security; she simply loved that feeling.

Liu Shihua felt a prick of jealousy as Ye Chen and Zhang Xinlan's relationship deepened and they became increasingly intimate. She just didn't want Ye Chen to do 'that' with Xinlan.

Ye Chen looked at Liu Shihua with a curious expression. Could the superstar really have fallen for him?

"Don't look at me with such a weird expression!" Liu Shihua, feeling both embarrassed and angry under Ye Chen's strange gaze, exclaimed. "Ye Chen, come on, tell me whether you agree or not!"

"I agree, but you must delete that video!" Ye Chen cajoled.

"Ah ha ha!" Liu Shihua smirked coldly. "You think I'm stupid, huh? If I delete it, what would I use to restrain you?"

"You can just take another one!" Ye Chen laughed.

"You scoundrel!" Liu Shihua exclaimed angrily.

"It seems someone is even more of a scoundrel than me, tricking me with their innocence and naiveté!" Ye Chen looked at Liu Shihua with an indescribable attitude. "Liu Shihua, have you really fallen for me or not? If you do, just tell me, I can break up with Zhang Xinlan and be with you instead!"

"What?" Liu Shihua asked uncertainly. "You would break up with Xinlan?"

Ye Chen's words held an inexplicable allure for Liu Shihua. Hearing that he might break up with Zhang Xinlan, she found herself inexplicably happy.

Liu Shihua felt she might have a bit of a crush on Ye Chen, but he was Xinlan's boyfriend, and she couldn't just brazenly wreck their relationship as the younger aunt. However, if Ye Chen took the initiative to break up with Xinlan...

The more she thought about it, the happier Liu Shihua felt until she almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Liu Shihua, are you sick or something?" Ye Chen asked, finding the superstar's behavior extremely abnormal.

"You just said you wanted to break up with Xinlan, is that true?" Liu Shihua blinked innocently.

"You couldn't possibly have fallen for me, could you?" Ye Chen found it hard to believe. He had only said that off the cuff, but the superstar took it far from casually.

"You jerk, you dare to lie to me!" Liu Shihua scolded with a mix of embarrassment and anger, realizing from Ye Chen's current expression that the rascal was teasing her, nearly tricking her into taking him seriously!

Upon hearing that, a difficult-to-describe expression appeared on Ye Chen's face.

"So let me ask you, if I want to have an everlasting love with you, would you really break up with Xinlan?" Liu Shihua inquired cutely.
