A Beautiful Lie Episode 18

"Next time you do a kissing scene, I’ll kiss you ten times more."

Prologue: Indeed, XZZ was worried about the kissing scene; he phoned Liu Yanze to ask how he had reacted to Xiaoxiao's kissing scenes in the past and heard his reply that after those, Liu would wait and kiss his actress ten times more in real life!
Qin Fei was worried too and sent XZZ away on a bogus cake purchase mission, but he still overheard the actor preparing for the kiss scene. He was affected by the passionate scene and the director repeatedly asking new takes, and went to wait for hr in her trailer, kissing her to wipe away the traces of the actor, who was really trying to pursue her, unmindful of the fans who were stalking and taking pictures in view of scolding her.
Qin Fei was sad about the situation but XZZ perked up when she once more said he was her "family member" : they agreed he could openly pursue her if he managed also to steer Liu Yanze back together with Xiaoxiao who missed her former lover.
Liu Yanze had a tiff with Xiaoxiao who had found his tablet in her car, and looked at all the documents he had stored about her over the years ; but he still refused to admit he still held romantic interest about her in his mind, focusing on his protection mission. He investigated a likely deranged stalker hiding in the hotel, although Xiaoxiao's reluctance to call in the police had prevented his direct access to surveillance footage. One evening, Xiaoxiao something was off with the man running behind her ; she called Liu Yanze and next Chen Shen to find her and drive her back. Liu Yanze had almost caught the knife wielding stalker. But Xiaoxiao went off to spar her fright and heartache down with Chen Shen who had become her confidant on top of being her agent. Chen Shen could only be the shoulder she'd cry on, her best friend...
Meanwhile, Liu Yanze was having drinks and a heart-to-heart with XZZ about his reasons for not letting Xiaoxiao get back with him. His earlier worries about the social and income gap between them was not the only reason. Even if she might understand his sense of missions, he refused to let her risk experience the pain he had witnessed.
XZZ went on to stumble into Qin Fei's arms after getting hopelessly drunk with the bodyguard.
