Later he is seen lounging at the set fuming over a magazine with pictures of An Sheng and Su Lüxia in a couples pose. He overhears girls gossiping about how he is attractive but stuck up because of his rich father and gets even angrier.

When Su Lüxia shows up, he starts blushing but hides his face behind his magazine. After An Sheng continuously tries to grab her arm Su Lüxia cries that it is hurting her and Gu Chen smacks his arm off of her. After telling Gu Chen off he is invited to re read the script with Su Lüxia. While practicing he asks whats up with her attitude change and remarks how she usually is infatuated with An Sheng.

After Gu Chen hears about the lies An Sheng is spreading he immediate rushes to Su Lüxia in his night gown to ask if she is okay. She mentions how it looks suspicious as it is so late and drags him into her room to speak. He lets her know what the tabaloids are saying about her and she dismisses it but he gets worked up and proclaims how he wants to protect her. She then proposes the ring plan to him after he keeps saying he wants to help her.
