She didn’t believe that Wei Wucai had no idea why she was feeling conflicted.
Because she knew that he could tell that she liked him.
He knew why she had previously hidden from him.
This was why he gave that excuse yesterday morning, saying that she had turned him straight.
He wanted to cover his lie up so that she wouldn’t hesitate anymore.
He had no idea that Yan Zhiqing was feeling conflicted about new things.
However, whatever she felt conflicted about were all gone and she did feel much better.
She felt like she had let out a long sigh of relief and no longer felt any burden and stress. She felt so relaxed.
“What do you intend to do now?” Shi Xiaoya asked. “I know you are still mad and do not want to respond to him. He deserves it for lying to you.”
Shi Xiaoya was on Yan Zhiqing’s side and spoke for her sake.
Her words made Yan Zhiqing feel really comfortable.
“You should continue making him feel the urgency. Should you forgive him easily after he had lied to you?” Shi Xiaoya said.
Wei Wucai’s ears twitched a couple times as he walked ahead.
He was a little far away, and Yan Zhiqing and Shi Xiaoya carefully kept their voices down.
Still, Wei Wucai heard everything clearly.
Initially, he was hoping that Shi Xiaoya could support him.
But when he heard what Shi Xiaoya had said, he felt as though his prime days were gone and he was fighting this battle alone.
Yan Zhiqing had found her true friend and said happily, “That’s what I thought.”
However, Shi Xiaoya said this because she could tell that Yan Zhiqing just wanted to give Wei Wucai some small punishments.
She still liked him.
Shi Xiaoya tried not to laugh as she saw Wei Wucai’s ears twitching, an indication of him secretly listening.
She didn’t talk. She pulled Yan Zhiqing and pointed at Wei Wucai’s back, hinting that he was listening to this conversation.
Yan Zhiqing smiled. The corners of her mouth curved up before they quickly drooped down.
To prevent Wei Wucai from listening anymore, she didn’t say another word.
The two continued walking forward and saw in the distance that Fang Qiaohan had arrived.
They were surprised to see Yuan Jiangyi and Hao Donghuai next to her.
Why would they be here?
The group gathered over there.
Shi Xiaoya had never seen Yuan Jiangyi and Hao Donghuai before. And so, Wei Wucai introduced them.
“You…” Yan Zhiqing began.
Before Yuan Jiangyi could explain, Wei Wucai said, “They are here to provide free labor for Director Wu.”
Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.
What did that mean?
She looked confused.
Wei Wucai thus explained, “They want to come to the set, but they can’t because they aren’t part of the production crew. And so, they decided to join our special effects editing team and work for free.”
Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.
Shi Xiaoya couldn’t help but say, “Director Wu… is really out here making a profit…”
Hao Donghuai laughed out loud. He didn’t care at all. “It’s alright. We’re not busy anyway. We were the ones who wanted to join the production crew. We can’t force Director Wu to hire us and pay us, right? Anyway, we will be part of the special effects editing team. We will just charge Xiao Cai in the future!”
“…” The corners of Wei Wucai’s eyes twitched. “You both wanted to come. I didn’t invite you guys. Why are you asking me for money?”
“We’ll be working for you without any pay,” Hao Donghuai said.
“I am not paying.” Wei Wucai pouted and said, “I don’t want your free labor. There isn’t much work to begin with. We can do a good job even without you guys. If you join, you might make things more difficult for us.”
Wei Wucai, feeling some disdain, pouted and said, “Why would I need you two! Anyway, if you want to be a part of this production crew, then you will have to work for free. Don’t expect any payment from me.”
“Aiya! When did you become so stingy…” Yuan Jiangyi had never wanted to ask Wei Wucai for money.
It was just a joke.
But when Yuan Jiangyi heard what Wei Wucai said, he immediately started teasing him.
But Wei Wucai went with the flow and said, “I was single, so it was fine for me to be generous before.”
Wei Wucai immediately turned to look at Yan Zhiqing.
He was scared that Yan Zhiqing and the others wouldn’t know where he was looking.
Thus, Wei Wucai’s movements were quite big. His gaze stopped on Yan Zhiqing’s face for a long time.
He wanted Yan Zhiqing to know what was going on in his mind. He was not talking about anyone else. He was only referring to her!
Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.
She then heard Wei Wucai say, “But it is different now. I have someone I like. I have to start early on saving money for getting a wife.”
While Wei Wucai was speaking, his gaze remained on Yan Zhiqing’s face. He never shifted his gaze away.
Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.
Even fools would know that Wei Wucai was referring to her.
She could see the others holding in their laughter but still smiling in a teasing way because they were worried about people not knowing that they were keeping it in.
Yan Zhiqing wanted to ask, how could Wei Wucai be certain that she would marry him?
No!
She couldn’t say this.
They had yet to start dating!
She had yet to forgive him.
How would he know that she would forgive him and date him?
Not only were they not together, but she was also still angry. Yet he was already thinking about marriage.
Where did this confidence come from?
“Hmph.” Yan Zhiqing looked away, refusing to preserve Wei Wucai’s pride.
To Wei Wucai, she seemed like someone he could easily get.
She didn’t seem precious at all!
Despite her anger, she had to admit that she still felt a lot of attraction towards Wei Wucai.
Just by looking at her reaction, Wei Wucai immediately knew what she was thinking.
He immediately moved beside Yan Zhiqing and smiled as he said, “Although you are very angry with me and will not agree to be with me, that will not stop me from working hard on pursuing you.”
He went on shamelessly, “You have not agreed, but I will not like anyone else but you. Thus, you will be my goal and reason why I will start saving money early.”
Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.
Wei Wucai was clearly saying that he would still save money to marry her even if she didn’t agree.
Wasn’t he just being shameless?
Shi Xiaoya felt like she would burst out laughing if she continued listening to this conversation.
She immediately said, “Let us all go to the production set first, alright?”
And so, Yuan Jiangyi and Hao Donghuai got into Yan Zhiqing’s van.
Yan Zhiqing realized that the number of people in her van was growing bigger and bigger.
When they arrived on set, Wei Wucai notified Wu Mosen about Yuan Jiangyi and Hao Donghuai’s willingness to volunteer.
The two didn’t want to be paid and didn’t need a contract.
Wei Wucai also said that he would bear the responsibility if anything happened.
The two would never leak anything that happened on set.
Wu Mosen also found out that they were part of the Mount Lan Compound.
He didn’t know what they did for a living, but he still looked up to them.
With Wei Wucai bearing the responsibility, Wu Mosen didn’t object to anything.
