Chapter 513: Promoting on a Show, Is Emma Stone the One Who Caught Their Eye?

The affection on the sofa made observers instinctively close their eyes.

Emma Stone thoroughly enjoyed it.

When the assistant entered, the two on the sofa had already sat up.

But they looked slightly disheveled.

"I accidentally spilled coffee on your boss—hurry and get him a shirt!"

Only after the assistant left did Xu Can smile at the woman beside him.

She's surprisingly good at lying.

Turning their heads, the two tangled together again.

When the assistant came back, they looked as if nothing had happened.

"This is the show you're about to appear on—review these questions the host will ask; he'll query you based on them!"

"Our movie hasn't premiered yet, so they won't ask too many questions or demand spoilers—just questions based on the online trailers. Whether you want to reveal more plot details is entirely up to you, director!"

Xu Can nodded lightly; he knew that already.

"I understand. You may leave now."

This question was fairly standard.

But they're also doing games for this show.

"So it's not just an interview—there's also a game component. Can you handle that?"

"Of course I can handle it. As long as I'm with you, anywhere is fine. I just wonder if your little girlfriend will get jealous!"

Xu Can pinched the woman's nose.

"You're already beside me—why worry so much? Are you deliberately provoking me?!"

"Can't you tell I'm jealous? I hate being stuck between the two of you, but I know I'll never occupy the position next to you. Miley can give you things we never could!"

Xu Can pulled her into his arms.

His tone softened considerably. "Do you know why I like you so much? You're a woman who understands her place."

It was soon time to film.

The agent hurried to block Christine.

"You shouldn't go. Even though it's a live recording, there are so many reporters and cameras—if your face gets captured, how will you explain it? Your collaboration with Xu Can is over; you should focus on your own work, not keep chasing after him!"

Christine frowned.

"Don't overthink it. I'm just here to observe how he works. After all, we're friends who completed a film together—what's strange about a friend sitting in the audience?"

The agent hoped he was overthinking it; the two should have no further mysterious connection.

"Then just sit quietly in the audience. Don't do anything else—or I won't know how to explain it to the reporters!"

Xu Can stepped out of the makeup room, refreshed and composed.

The woman behind him looked shyly flustered.

"It's all your fault—you did this right before we go on stage! The makeup artist asked me several times why my freshly applied makeup had changed again!"

The two walked out, one after the other.

Christine stared at Xu Can's face, deeply stirred.

Seeing the woman, Xu Can was also surprised—how did she get here?

The anxious agent's expression revealed Christine's determination.

Xu Can had no choice, but thankfully she was in the audience—no major issue.

When Emma Stone smiled brightly before the crowd, Christine felt herself falling.

Today, Emma Stone wore a black fitted short dress that accentuated her figure.

She maintained her usual bright smile.

She occasionally leaned close to Xu Can's body.

For the first time, Christine felt no jealousy or envy.

She even developed feelings for Emma Stone.

During breaks on stage, Xu Can kept glancing at the woman in the audience, but he sensed his gaze wasn't just fixed on her.

When he followed his gaze toward Emma Stone, he finally understood.

The spark had already appeared.

They really do suit each other.

They just need a little opportunity.

But Christine would no longer be his—he must hold to his principles.

"We heard your movie spent a huge budget on set construction and props—is that true?"

"It's true. We wanted the entire setting to feel historically weighty yet grounded in reality. I'd like to thank our art director, Mr. Charles—without his help, our crew couldn't have completed filming so smoothly or met my expectations!"

After completing the on-stage games and interviews, Xu Can and Emma Stone stepped down.

Christine couldn't resist rushing forward.

But the director on the sidelines stepped forward first—the agent could only hold Christine back.

"I've already reserved a room at a nearby restaurant—would you like to come have a meal? The shoot ran a bit longer today—I'm truly sorry!"

Xu Can glanced sideways at the anxious Christine and the excitement in her eyes.

A faint smile curled his lips, making the director think Xu Can agreed.

"I ordered Chinese food—it looks delicious, perfect for us to try!"

"Shall we lead you there?"

Before Xu Can could speak, Emma Stone remained silent.

He could not decide this drinking gathering for Xu Can.

"No need, we have other plans!"

Christian heard this and immediately sighed in relief.

He broke free from his agent's grip and walked toward their dressing room.

Emma Stone was about to sit on Xu Can's lap when the door's sound made her body instantly stiffen.

In that moment of eye contact, Emma Stone felt something was off.

Why was this woman staring at him with such an expression?

There seemed to be a hint of affection in it.

Xu Can also turned to look, and the emotion between them shifted.

"You look truly beautiful today."

Emma Stone pointed questioningly at herself.

"Yes, you—I've never seen you on any show in this circle before. If I'd seen you off-camera, I would've come to introduce myself long ago!"

Christian casually tied up her long hair at the back.

"We have no chance for collaboration, so we rarely meet offline!"
