Chapter 1035: Chapter 1035: Increasingly Haggard and Emaciated Chapter 1035: Chapter 1035: Increasingly Haggard and Emaciated She didn’t need to be proficient in what she wasn’t good at, just having some common topics with Wen Jingheng was enough.

And in what she was skilled at, she strived for constant improvement.

For instance, in acting, she aimed to be the best, to be irreplaceable, not like many other girls who were just a flash in the pan, easily replaced.

In terms of appearance, she naturally maintained the best state at all times.

In short, she had to be the best in everything, she absolutely wouldn’t allow herself to fall behind.

Under such intense work and study, Hai Lan lived every day to the fullest and it was very physically demanding.

Even though she had promised Wen Jingheng to eat properly and have more food, her weight still showed no signs of increase but instead had decreased a lot.

As a result, every time before Wen Jingheng weighed her, Hai Lan would secretly drink a lot of water.

Fortunately, she was originally very thin, so losing a few pounds didn’t make much of a difference to Wen Jingheng’s eyes.

However, Hai Lan’s spirits were good, so Wen Jingheng didn’t suspect anything.

Hai Lan herself didn’t pay much attention to her body, nor did she think there was any issue. Yet, one day, after a whole night of intense filming, she suddenly fainted as dawn broke and it was time to wrap up.

Although it was just a short spell of weakness, Qiao Ning still insisted that she go to the hospital for a check-up.

Having not rested the whole night, Hai Lan appeared very tired and somewhat haggard when she went to the hospital for the check-up. Coincidentally, her appearance at the hospital was caught on camera.

The media immediately released news that she looked increasingly haggard and had lost weight dramatically due to her fiance’s alleged infidelity.

And indeed, she looked very haggard and frail in the photos.

People are always willing to believe the facts they have surmised for themselves.

Seeing the photos of Hai Lan getting a physical examination at the hospital, almost everyone believed she looked haggard because of a broken heart.

Even Hai Lan herself began to wonder if she truly looked as such when she saw the photos.

But in the mirror, she looked fine, and there wasn’t a hint of sorrow in her eyes…

She was clearly like that because of the hard work, okay!

But the media didn’t know that, and now the whole world had misunderstood her.

Hai Lan wasn’t worried about what others thought; she was just afraid that Wen Jingheng would be angry.

As expected, just after Hai Lan had seen the news, Wen Jingheng’s call came through.

After leaving the hospital during the day, Hai Lan went straight back to the set, and now she was resting in the hotel.

She lay in bed, too guilty to answer Wen Jingheng’s call.

“Hello, hubby, is there anything you need?” Hai Lan asked brightly as soon as she answered the phone.

They say one doesn’t hit a smiling face, so with her smiling, Wen Jingheng surely wouldn’t be angry, right?

The man on the other end, however, spoke in an indifferent tone, devoid of warmth, “What happened today, why did you go to the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?”

“I’m not feeling unwell anywhere. It’s just that we shot throughout last night and I had a bit of low blood sugar this morning. Qiao Ning was worried about me and insisted on a hospital check-up. The doctor said I’m fine, you can go ask if you don’t believe me,” Hai Lan immediately explained.

“You look quite bad in the photos.”

“Of course, I look bad without having rested all night. You don’t really think that I’m as haggard as the media reported, due to a failed relationship, do you?”

Wen Jingheng scoffed, “I’m only wondering if you’ve really been eating well! Are you sure you’ve been eating properly recently?”

“Of course, I’ve been eating well! I eat a lot every meal, I can swear to it.”
