embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had forgotten to step away when answering the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Chen pinched Mu Chen lightly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You big jerk, don't you know how to be discreet when answering calls from other women?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Chen coughed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s there to be discreet

said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll rub yours when we get back, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Chen’s ear tickled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ripples instantly spread through her heart, and she said fiercely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You better rub them well!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, Mu Chen witnessed Jin Chen’s incredibly graceful dance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed in thin gauze, Jin Chen danced like a fairy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From time to time, she lifted her jade-like legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slender and fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As white as jade in the moonlight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intertwining with the starry night to form the most beautiful picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Chen immediately pulled Jin Chen into his arms for a dance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did, after all, possess advanced dance skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he felt he was still inferior to Jin Chen, it was enough to make her jaw drop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The look she gave Mu Chen was filled with even more admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was simply too perfect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, as the price for Mu Chen daring to flirt with Da Da Mimi right in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Chen spent the whole night as a laborer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Acting as both an ox and a horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Jin Chen had quite a few calluses on her feet from dancing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But every day, Mu Chen would prepare a perfectly proportioned milk soak to nourish her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making her feet become incredibly fair...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her entire body became more and more beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost every day, she was on the path to becoming even more stunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire production crew was left clicking their tongues in amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire film crew was left clicking their tongues in amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And the women on the crew grew increasingly envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Li Li Yitong’s heart was constantly being impacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few days had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Yitong could no longer compare to Jin Chen at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was her looks, skin, or figure, she was completely crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Yitong finally couldn't help but call Jin Chen into the lounge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing and feeling Jin Chen’s curvaceous figure for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Yitong’s mouth hung wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost big enough to swallow a python.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression was one of uncontrollable shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is too magical!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s even more exaggerated than a second puberty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Chen deliberately bounced around, causing Li Li Yitong to roll her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman was simply too hateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have to know, that used to be her own strong suit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Li Li Yitong’s expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Chen felt incredibly happy inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let this best friend who used to show off all the time see who was more 'wow' now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Jin Chen stretched out her feet, wearing transparent high-heeled sandals, for Li Li Yitong to see:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, what I’m happiest about is that my feet have become so pretty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Yitong looked at Jin Chen’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were incredibly fair and tender, painted with a light purple nail polish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could practically be used for a foot mask advertisement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first two words that came to Li Li Yitong’s mind were—Jade Feet!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have to know, both of them were dance majors!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knows what feet look like after practicing dance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was absolutely impossible for them to look better than anyone else’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Yitong’s biggest insecurity was her own feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, seeing Jin Chen’s feet, she was almost going crazy with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So annoying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re so lucky!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being resentful for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Li Li Yitong could only spit out these words!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Chen smiled and pulled her feet back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, not knowing what she was thinking, she spoke up:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m leaving tomorrow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My manager has already urged me several times!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m leaving that big jerk for you to take care of!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember to keep an eye on him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Jin Chen looked at Li Li Yitong’s expression and said pointedly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some opportunities need to be seized!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't seize them, others will be lining up to take them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she said this, Jin Chen pursed her lips toward the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew what kind of person Mu Chen was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dared to flirt with Da Da Mimi right in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone when she was gone; he definitely wouldn't be keeping himself chaste like she did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then there were all those women outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been dressing up so flashily these past few days, and their eyes were practically glued to Mu Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she hadn't been by Mu Chen’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They probably would have already thrown themselves at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than letting those vixens have him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be better to let her own sister have him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Yitong’s expression was no longer as resistant as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, thinking about how Mu Chen scolded her every time they acted these past few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said with a bitter face:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know as well as I do that that big jerk targets me every day!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s practically a tyrant; I’m about to have a breakdown from his scolding!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Chen took Li Li Yitong’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comforting her:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be silly, if he were really targeting you, he would have kicked you out of the production!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would he still be teaching you how to act every day???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't know, a few days ago he invested in another drama and kicked Lu Yi out just because his 20 million salary was too high!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Li Yitong was instantly shaken by the news from Jin Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately felt the more ruthless side of Mu Chen as an investor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to being scolded a few times for her acting, that was much worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Chen continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And don't you feel like your acting has improved a lot these past few days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to keep being criticized for your acting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I won't say any more!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that big jerk weren't such a scumbag, I wouldn't even be telling you this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, Jin Chen walked toward the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Li Li Yitong sitting inside in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mood became a mix of complex emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her acting had indeed improved recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But did she really want to follow Jin Chen’s advice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So shameful!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked down at her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then looked at her figure, which she used to like, and instantly felt it paled in comparison to Jin Chen’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strange thoughts gradually began to rise in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't stealing her best friend’s man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just doing it to become more beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just doing it to improve her acting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, that was it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Little Little Chenchen wouldn't mind, right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, how does one go about doing such a thing???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about this complex problem.\u003C\u002Fp>",1690,"2026-06-17T07:33:07.033Z","2026-06-17T07:46:20.014Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
