Chapter 154: Return The Favor

Li Na blinked, her eyes snapping toward the door as the knock echoed through the quiet room. She hadn't realized how much time had passed since she was lost in her thoughts and the message she had impulsively sent. Her heart beat just a little faster, wondering if it was someone with news or another task for her.

The door creaked open, revealing Chen Xinyi, her manager. Her expression, however, hinted at something more serious, her brows drawn ever so slightly.

"Come in," Li Na said, her voice calm but curious. The silk robe she wore caught the sunlight streaming in through the windows, shimmering like liquid gold. It was a quiet, serene moment, a stark contrast to the chaos of the set she had just left behind a few hours ago. Li Na rubbed her temples, trying to push away the throbbing ache building behind her eyes.
