"Are you planning to study me?" Yan Jinyi suddenly asked.

Staring straight into her pure eyes, he nodded and said truthfully, "Yes."

"How do you plan to study me then? Are you going to skin me alive or remove my scalp?"

"What do you prefer?" Huo Chengyu asked.

Yan Jinyi looked up and said calmly, "I think you can crack my skull open and take a look at the structure of my brain, you might be in for a surprise!"

Huo Chengyu placed an arm across his chest and rubbed his chin with his other hand. "Good idea."

"How are you going to seal my skull afterwards? Are you going to stitch my head together or bind them with nails? Or superglue?"

With a gentle smile, Huo Chengyu said, "You've got such a pretty brain. I'll have to use an advanced laceration method to ensure that there at least wouldn't be a scar."

Zhang Guoquan and two maids were looking at them from afar, shivering when they overheard their conversation.

'How daring of the two of them.'

Zhang Guoquan once again began to ponder.

'Second Young Mistress Huo is quite ferocious, maybe I should be more tactful when I report to Second Young Master about her in the future.'

The filming of 'The Tumultuous Harem' officially began.

The famous local director, Chen Keyi, was cooperating with several renowned screenwriters, and there were several famous veteran actors among the cast.

In addition, Yan Jinyi's incident that occurred overseas had brought a lot of attention onto the drama series, making it the most anticipated production of the year.

The positive image and excellent reputation that Liu Ran had painstakingly built had also helped increase the popularity of this drama.

The venue of the press conference to announce the start of the filming was incredibly crowded as the reporters of various tabloids, magazines, and news websites were vying hard for a chance to join the press conference.

This time, Yan Jinyi went onstage and openly sat on the seat reserved for the supporting actress.

Perhaps because it was a customary practice for the leading actors to be late to event, Liu Ran strutted in only after all the directors, male lead, and other members of the cast were seated.

She specially wore a gown that was recently showcased in a fashion show during fashion week.

Yan Jinyi could recognize it to be from the Starry Collection under Shen Yan's brand.

'Why does it seem like an insult to Shen Yan that Liu Ran is wearing a dress she designed? I'm so furious, I want to rip that dress apart!'

As soon as she got seated, Liu Ran sensed the peculiar look that Yan Jinyi shot her, which somehow made her feel a chill down her spine.

"Jinyi, you're dressed so casually today."

Indeed, her outfit was very casual.

The people on the stage were all dressed to the nines, with the actresses donning beautiful gowns, unlike Yan Jinyi... who was dressed in ripped jeans and a flannel shirt.

She was probably dressed more formally than this even when she went out to meet others in private.

"What's wrong with my outfit? Don't you think I'm a fresh sight here?"

Liu Ran smirked, not expecting Yan Jinyi to be that confident about herself.

'Indeed, she's standing out from others.'

The reporters below the stage were amused by Yan Jinyi's words.

The netizens who were watching the live broadcast started reacting to it.

"As expected of Sister Jinyi, she's never mainstream."

"Sister Jinyi, don't be modest, you're a trendsetter!"

"What is Yan Jinyi being arrogant for? Count herself lucky that Liu Ran is talking to her."

"I personally think that Yan Jinyi has gone overboard. This is a formal event, after all."

The emcee this time was clearly smarter than the one at the last press conference Yan Jinyi attended. However, the questions he asked were truly annoying.

"Jinyi, previously you starred in 'Female Fortress Leader' while Liu Ran starred in 'Islander', and there seemed to be some conflict between the crew of both productions. Have you ever contacted Liu Ran in private? What's your opinion of her?"
