Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Aunt, is there something wrong?
Huihui's ears were pierced by that sharp voice, her fingers fidgeting with the camera hidden in the cuff of her sleeve, her gaze unwavering as she watched Ye Xian.
Why wasn't Ye Xian fighting back? He hadn't been like this before. Relying on his financial backer, he was usually brash and willful; if someone dared insult him to his face, he would slap them in an instant.
It was exactly this unreasonable and ungentlemanly behavior that made her detest him deeply, but why wasn't he acting out now?
Actually...
Huihui felt a bit dizzy; she actually hoped that Ye Xian would act like he used to, she was a bit... unable to bear seeing Ye Xian being wronged.
Everyone in the makeup room was staring at Luan Xiaoyao as she delivered a monologue. Feeling like an unreasonable shrew, Luan Xiaoyao, enraged and embarrassed, grabbed Ye Xian by the collar, "Stop playing dead with me!"
Huihui and Jiang Xin's hearts clenched in that instant.
Ye Xian looked down, his eyes landing on the bright red nails clutching his T-shirt, his thick lashes hiding the impatience in his eyes.
He lifted his head, his face bursting with a teasing smile, "Auntie, is something the matter?"
"Auntie?!" Luan Xiaoyao exploded at the address, "Who are you calling auntie?!"
Ye Xian blinked his innocent eyes, "I just came of age today, and since my little auntie is 30, shouldn't I call you auntie?"
"What does your little auntie being 30 have to do with me? I am only 26 this year!"
"Ah~" Ye Xian's face was a picture of embarrassment, "Sorry about that. You look much older than my auntie, I thought you were almost forty, so I got it wrong."
He spoke with all seriousness, but everyone in the makeup room burst into laughter.
Almost forty! Hahaha, Ye Xian really knew how to hit where it hurts.
Insulting a woman's age is as good as killing her, and Luan Xiaoyao was so angry she was fuming, her hand raised, ready to slap without hesitation.
However, before her hand could fall, Ye Xian looked behind her in feigned surprise, "Oh, Director Li?"
"Don't put on a show with me. Even if Director Li was here today, I wouldn't hesitate to hit you!"
Luan Xiaoyao had heard from Cheng Jingshu just last night about Ye Xian acting coy in front of Director Li. She was not going to fall for the same low trick twice!
"Is that so?"
A stern and angry voice came from behind, causing Luan Xiaoyao, who had raised her hand high, to tremble.
She turned to see a scowling Li Jiahua, her own brash and domineering presence disappearing in an instant, leaving only innocence and panic, "Director Li, please don't misunderstand..."
"Misunderstand? Are you treating me as blind or deaf? Luan Xiaoyao, what do you take our crew for? Daring to throw a tantrum like this!"
Li Jiahua had long been dissatisfied with Luan Xiaoyao, a brainless beauty with connections. Seeing her grabbing his favorite actor added fuel to his rage, and he wished he could scold her ruthlessly.
But, after all, he had to consider the face of the producer.
"Director Li, it was him..."
"Director, don't blame Sister Xiaoyao. It was my fault for angering her, so she lost her temper," Ye Xian said as he subtly fixed his collar, 'kindheartedly' speaking up for Luan Xiaoyao.
Before entering the makeup room, she had seen Li Jiahua heading this way, which was why she had tolerated Luan Xiaoyao's nagging for so long; otherwise...
She hadn't used her four years of Taekwondo training for quite some time.
Cheng Jingshu watched from the sidelines, nearly snapping her makeup brush in her hand.
This Ye Xian, performing the same old tricks, no wonder his acting had improved so much. It turned out all his practice came from real-life experiences!
