Although Ning Xi had proven her acting skills this time, her reputation hadn’t improved in the slightest; because she had performed too well, making people see her as a vixen, they even thought she wasn’t acting, but just portraying herself.
Director Guo was afraid that her mood would be unstable, and went to console her before she left. "Ning Xi, take it easy. Your second male lead will join us next month, there is more to come!"
Ning Xi smiled bitterly. "Director Guo, who on earth is my second male lead? You have been very secretive from the beginning, no hint of it at all. I can understand if you’re keeping it from the media as a gimmick, but can’t you tell even us?"
"I can't say it, what if someone spilled the beans? Anyway, what I can tell you is that the second male lead is a big star!" Guo Qisheng said mysteriously.
Jia Qingqing was passing by when she heard this, and she muttered with a disdainful expression, "It’s just a second male lead, how big can he be? Can he be as famous as king of the movies Zhao Sizhou? Sister Xueluo, don’t you think so?"
Ning Xueluo smiled and didn’t say anything, but it was clear that she also felt that Director Guo was exaggerating.
Ning Xi ignored Jia Qingqing's taunt, and stuck closely behind Guo Qisheng as she started asking questions. "Then is he handsome? You can tell me this, right? In the script, the second male lead is supposed to be so handsome that all the young ladies in the capital pretend to be sick in order to see him!"
She would have quite a number of intimate scenes with the second male lead. Not only would she have to flirt with him, there were also several sex scenes. What was more, they would always be cuddling and kissing, so it was hard for her not to care about this.
"Of course he’s handsome, I’m sure you’ll be very satisfied! When the time comes, if you don’t pass out from the excitement, that would be a surprise!"
"No way, Director Guo, don’t trick me! I’ll take it for real!"
…
Time passed in a flash, and it was now August. She had been living at the Lu residence for two weeks, and her relationship with Little Treasure was getting better and better. Her work on set at the moment was also going pretty smoothly.
Ning Xueluo and Jia Qingqing had formed an alliance, and now and then would play tricks on her. Though she had seen through all of them, it was too tiring being wary of them every day, so she was looking for the right opportunity to defeat them once and for all.
Talking about this, it was strange, but she had the feeling that there was someone on the production team who was helping her behind the scenes. There had been several times when she had missed something, but was given very subtle hints. It was likely that there were people who disliked Jia Qingqing's arrogant and domineering way of doing things. Ning Xi didn't think too much about it.
Right now, the biggest headache for her was going to the airport tonight to meet a certain annoying guy.
The whole of today, while she was on set, that guy had continued calling her to death to remind her.
After finishing work, Ning Xi went back to the Lu residence first because she wanted to get her equipment.
"You’re back. A nice hotpot restaurant opened recently, shall we take Little Treasure out to eat tonight?" Lu Tingxiao was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. Seeing she had come back, he asked her the question in a very natural manner, as if he was asking a wife.
Ning Xi was surprised by her thoughts. It was only just over half a month, but she was already used to the way she and Lu Tingxiao got along.
The two of them, along with Little Treasure; it really did feel like they were living as a family of three.
Ning Xi shook her head to get rid of those strange thoughts, and said awkwardly, "I'm afraid I can't tonight. I'm just about to go to the airport to meet someone, and I’ll probably be back very late. Does Little Treasure want to have hotpot? Why don’t you take him out to eat?"
"If you’re not here, he won’t go out with me."
"Cough… alright. Then let’s have it next time!"
Lu Tingxiao put down the newspaper and looked at her with dark, deep eyes. "Meeting a friend?"
"Well, kind of…" Ning Xi nodded a little reluctantly.
"Man or woman?"
"Uh…" Wasn’t this question overstepping a boundary?
It wasn’t that Ning Xi hadn’t noticed that Lu Tingxiao’s attitude towards her was unusual, but Lu Tingxiao always stopped at the right point. If she overreacted, it would unavoidably seem like she was assuming he had feelings that might not actually exist.
So as if she was hearing a normal question, Ning Xi gave a normal reply: "Male!"
Lu Tingxiao narrowed his eyes imperceptibly. "Are you coming back tonight?"
This question… hearing it sounded more and more like…
Ning Xi brought out her acting skills, and pretending this question wasn’t ambiguous at all, she said nonchalantly, "I’m not so sure about that, when the time comes, I’ll call you. I’m running late, I’m going upstairs first!"
Tonight, many unexpected things were bound to happen; what if she couldn't take it anymore, and wound up beating up Jiang Muye that guy the whole night?
Ning Xi quickly ran upstairs to grab a big black satchel before hugging Little Bun and kissing him goodbye at lightning speed.
Looking at the back of the girl as she swiftly ran off, Lu Tingxiao’s expression instantly changed, becoming like snow in August.
Apart from Ning Xi, Little Bun cared for nothing else, including his own dad. But looking at his father’s oppressively dark face just then, he bent his head and wrote something on a board. Then he reached out to poke him with his little finger.
Feeling the slight pressure on his arm, Lu Tingxiao looked down, then saw the question mark his son had drawn on the board.
"Are you asking me why I’m unhappy?" Lu Tingxiao lifted an eyebrow, paused to think, then said slowly, "If the day comes that your Auntie Xiao Xi becomes someone else’s, calls him darling and kisses him good morning, goodnight, and goodbye, has hotpot with someone else, and you are no one special to her, without even the right to ask how she is, would you be happy?"
Little Bun looked blank for a bit, before his expression instantly shattered, as if the world was ending.
And so, a certain father finally found some equilibrium.
Little Treasure started sobbing, and grabbed his evil father’s cellphone to complain to Auntie Xiao Xi.
He sent Ning Xi a crying emoticon: (>﹏<.)~
Ning Xi, who was on her way to the airport, saw the text and thought that Little Bun was upset about not having hotpot, and she hurriedly gathered sweet words together to coax Little Bun: [Aiya, what’s the matter, darling, not happy? Don't be sad, if you’re sad then Auntie is sad too! Today Auntie really has something on, tomorrow night we’ll definitely go out for hotpot, okay? Muah muah! Love you for ten thousand years! I love darling’s smiles the most!]
Seeing her reply, Little Treasure’s tears instantly turned to smiles, and he proudly gave the phone back to his dad to take a look.
Lu Tingxiao saw the sweet words that Ning Xi texted, "…" and his heart was struck a blow…
Two hours later, at B City’s airport.
Even though Ning Xi had been prepared before arriving, she was still shocked by the scene.
"Ahhhhhh! Jiang Muye! Jiang Muye! Jiang Muye!"
"Hubby, look over here! Hubby, I love you! Hubby, I want to have babies with you!"
"Muye, Muye, you are the most handsome! I’ll support you forever!"
"Muye, Muye, you are the best! I’ll protect you forever!"
...
Most of them at the scene were young female fans; she even saw quite a number of auntie fans and some male fans. All of them were screaming their hearts out. All the airport security personnel had come out, but the situation was still out of control.
"My dear wives, quiet down, okay? Don't disturb other people! Shhh!"
In the crowd, a sexy voice made itself known. The fans went dead silent for one second, before they broke out into wild screams that almost broke the roof. Far from quieting down, the scene became even more explosive.
Ning Xi hid behind a pillar some distance away to watch, her head covered in black lines.
This man really still held a grudge, he really wanted to get her killed!
If she went out now to meet him, could she live through the night?
Luckily she had come prepared…
