“It’s been hard on you too. You have a lot of fighting scenes too.” Director Li Heng was a more serious person. He requested to not use a substitute as much as possible, so Xia Wanyuan and Yan Ci did it themselves.
“It’s okay.” Yan Ci poked at the rice in his bowl. He had never taken the initiative to talk to a girl and actually did not know how to continue the topic. “Other than filming, what else do you usually do?”
“Reading, writing, painting, watching television,” Xia Wanyuan swallowed the last mouthful of rice and replied.
“What an elegant life,” Yan Ci praised. His grip on the bowl tightened slightly and he probed, “There’s an art exhibition in Beijing this weekend. My friend gave me two tickets. We don’t have scenes that day. Do you want to take a look?”
In the past, Xia Wanyuan didn’t have much feelings for romantic relationships. Even if others treated her very well, she wouldn’t think in that direction. However, ever since she experienced Jun Shiling’s feelings for her, she knew very clearly about the intense gaze between a man and a woman.
Seeing the anticipation and light in Yan Ci’s eyes, Xia Wanyuan put down the bowl. “No need, thank you. After the drama is broadcasted, we will be formed into a pair on screen. In order not to let everyone misunderstand, we should maintain a distance in reality.”
Yan Ci understood the meaning in Xia Wanyuan’s words and his eyes flashed. “Okay, I’m sorry.” Then, he took the bowl and left. His back view looked very lonely.
The second female lead, Li Xiaofu, saw this scene not far away. She was extremely jealous of Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan was the main character in the drama. The male lead had caught a glimpse of her and doted on her from the bottom of his heart. The role she played had been childhood sweethearts with the male lead since she was young. Although she had followed him for many years, she could not compare to a love at first sight.
They were both women, but Xia Wanyuan could be the female lead. Furthermore, Yan Ci had even leaned over to talk to her. And when she had knocked on Yan Ci’s door last night in her sexy pajamas, he had ignored her.
In the scenes today, the role she acted in was to be slapped in public. In the end, Xia Wanyuan’s aura was too strong, causing her to always make mistakes. After many times, she could not get through this scene and was scolded by Li Heng for a long time.
At the thought of this, she felt angry.
“Ancestor, let’s not provoke that Xia Wanyuan. I think she’s not an easy person. I heard that Xiafeng Corporation is under her name.” The manager saw his artist’s expression and knew that this great aunt was unhappy because of what had happened in the day.
“Pfft, it’s just a small company. What’s there to be smug about? Only her inexperienced fans think that she’s amazing. Which part of Beijing isn’t a big company or a rich family?”
Li Xiaofu often attended all sorts of noble gatherings with her sisters, so she naturally did not take the Xiafeng Group seriously.
“Can we just focus on filming?” The manager rolled his eyes in his heart. What has the power of a rich family got to do with you? No matter how poor the Xiafeng Group is, it belongs to Xia Wanyuan herself.
“Aiya, I know, I know.” Li Xiaofu waved her hand impatiently. This manager was really annoying. I would replace him sooner or later.
The night scenes were filmed until nearly eleven o’clock before they ended work. Most of the production teams in the film studio complex had already switched off the lights. Xia Wanyuan walked out of the production team and indeed saw the familiar Phantom by the roadside.
The car lights were switched on, bringing with them a warm light. It was as if no matter if it were raining or pouring, early in the morning or late at night, this light would always be waiting for her. A surge of warmth surged in her heart, and Xia Wanyuan quickly walked over.
The chauffeur pulled open the car door and Xia Wanyuan sat in. Jun Shiling had not even capped his pen when a figure pounced into his arms.
“You’ve worked hard.” Jun Shiling smiled and stroked Xia Wanyuan’s hair, then instructed the chauffeur, “Let’s go.”
Xia Wanyuan seemed even more clingy today. She kept hugging Jun Shiling and did not speak.
“What’s wrong? Why are you so clingy today?” Jun Shiling wanted to get Xia Wanyuan a glass of milk, but Xia Wanyuan hugged him and prevented him from moving.
“I missed you.” A muffled voice came from his arms, making Jun Shiling pause.
