Chapter 602: The Investor Is Here! (2)
Unconsciously, Shi Nianyao smiled when she saw him.
Mo Xicheng was her idol, but after getting to know him better, she had realized that he was usually an extremely gloomy person. Even when he laughed, he carried an aura of melancholy that never seemed to go away.
He was like a lifeform that lived in darkness.
But perhaps it was because the role he was now playing was that of a masculine youth, he seemed to be emanating a bit of sunshine.
This shift in him made Shi Nianyao glad.
She walked towards Mo Xicheng.
He looked at her and asked, “Where have you been?”
She pursed her lips and replied, “In the restroom. Have they fixed the set?”
Using her arms, she tried to block her waist and abdomen from his sight. She didn’t want Mo Xicheng to suspect something was wrong.
Of course, Mo Xicheng wouldn’t be staring at that part of her body and, besides, he had always kept a respectable physical distance from her.
Thus he turned around, looked at the filming set and said, “Soon.”
As he said this, a stage supervisor ran up to them. “The set is ready. Would you like to come over right away?
Shi Nianyao and Mo Xicheng nodded simultaneously.
This time around, Chen Junjie did not dare play any tricks and did not attempt to take advantage of Shi Nianyao. Hence, filming went on smoothly.
However, in a scene where Mo Xicheng had to put his arms around Shi Nianyao, he discovered that her costume was wet around her waist.
He was taken aback for a moment.
But as they were filming, he showed no signs of having found out.
Shi Nianyao thus heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Mo Xicheng was none the wiser.
The initial plan for the day had been to film the scene where the male lead and supporting actor get caught fooling around in a brothel by the female lead.
However, the female lead, Qiao Yiyi, had had to leave the filming location suddenly and return to the hotel.
Hence, filming was delayed for yet another day.
They had to stop in the part where the female lead would burst into the room.
The director was by now livid.
The staff around started to whisper among themselves.
The felt like the female lead was acting too pompous.
But this time, Qiao Yiyi did really have difficulties that she couldn’t speak of!
She couldn’t possibly say that her corset was soaked, and that she had to go back to the hotel to get changed.
After the shooting ended for the day, they stepped out of the set.
Mo Xicheng’s assistant immediately came to him with a down jacket.
Taking the jacket from him, he draped it over Shi Nianyao and told the assistant at the same time, “Take Ms. Shi to change out of her costume.”
Shi Nianyao was stunned, but felt a warm sensation.
Her male idol was indeed attentive… but what an embarrassing predicament she had had.
As Shi Nianyao followed the junior assistant, she turned back to glance at Mo Xicheng. She noticed that underlying his icy expression, there was a type of harshness and decisiveness that she had never seen in him before today.
–
As Shi Nianyao was changing out of her costume, her cell phone rang.
She glanced down and saw the words “Talk-too-much Brother” on the caller id.
She immediately twitched her lips and picked up the call. Excitedly, she exclaimed, “Brother!”
A deep and gentle voice came through the line, “Where are you?”
Shi Nianyao hung her head and said, “At the filming location, of course!”
“Which one?”
“Ambition.” Having said this, Shi Nianyao continued, “Why are you asking about that?”
“I’m here on a business trip and will drop by to see you. How has the inspection been?”
Suddenly, a sense of guilt washed over her.
How had the inspection been?
She had not inspected anything!
She had just been fooling around as an extra.
But her brother was coming to the filming location as an investor?
Shi Nianyao chuckled to herself. This was going to be interesting.
