After w.a.n.g Yuyan explained the whole story, Liu Cheng’s heart leaned towards Nan Qiao’s side. Although it was mainly because of Xian Yu, it was also partly because he didn’t like Qu Pingwan.

The other party had nothing but a good-looking face. However, this was commonplace in the entertainment industry. It was a pity that Liu Cheng was a little helpless in the face of capital.

“Young Miss Qu, the production team didn’t handle this matter properly. Why don’t we get someone to specially prepare a lounge for you?”

Liu Cheng thought about it and finally proposed this solution.

Although they still didn’t know the relationship between Nan Qiao and Xian Yu, in all fairness, this wasn’t the other party’s fault. However, on account that Qu Pingwan was the investor’s daughter, it wasn’t good to put the blame on her too. After thinking about it, they could only compromise and get someone to prepare a special lounge for her.

After Liu Cheng finished speaking, Qu Pingwan didn’t answer immediately. Her gaze swept from Nan Qiao’s face to Xian Yu who was standing in front of her.

Other than herself, no one knew that the main reason why Qu Pingwan begged her father to come to the production team to act as the female lead was because Xian Yu was the male lead of this drama.

Qu Pingwan was a fanatical fan of Xian Yu. It was also because she liked Xian Yu that she let go of her status as a rich young lady and entered the entertainment industry.

Hence, when she saw Nan Qiao being protected by Xian Yu, a strange feeling arose in her heart.

“What’s her relationship with you?”

Qu Pingwan, who had always been straightforward and allowed her personality to do whatever she wanted, immediately asked this question.

Upon hearing her interrogative tone, Xian Yu subconsciously frowned. He looked at this unfamiliar woman whom he didn’t know and his face was almost filled with disgust for her.

“This has nothing to do with you, right?”

Xian Yu replied coldly. Anyone could tell that he didn’t like Qu Pingwan.

He didn’t intend to answer anyone’s question, but after confirming that Nan Qiao was fine, his heart calmed down.

However, her face seemed to be a little red. Xian Yu did not know if it was because of the sun, but he felt a little vexed.

“You’d better leave her alone.”

Xian Yu looked up at Qu Pingwan, his tone unprecedentedly impatient.

Xian Yu had also paid some attention to w.a.n.g Yuyan’s words just now and naturally knew what she had said about Nan Qiao.

He couldn’t even bear to be fierce to his sister, so how could he let others bully her?

“You!”

Qu Pingwan was so angry that she subconsciously wanted to stop him, but she realized that Xian Yu was different from those people who fawned over her.

Recalling the person’s cold tone towards her, Qu Pingwan felt uncomfortable.

How could he speak to her like this?!

“Let’s go.”

Xian Yu held Nan Qiao’s hand and spoke softly. His att.i.tude towards Qu Pingwan was completely different from his current att.i.tude.

Even though Xian Yu really wanted to teach her a lesson now, when he saw his Little Sister’s slightly red cheeks from the sun, he decided to bring her to find a place to rest first. It just so happened to be lunchtime.

Watching them leave, Director Liu Cheng silently heaved a sigh of relief. As long as this person wasn’t angry, it was fine. After all, he was the male lead designated by the author. It wouldn’t be good if he went on strike out of anger.

Xian Yu brought Nan Qiao to his dressing room, and Director Liu Cheng and w.a.n.g Yuyan left at some point.

Immediately, only Qu Pingwan, who was still angry, was left on the spot. She did not expect that in just a moment, everyone had disappeared.

The gazes of the people working around her seemed to fall on her, making Qu Pingwan feel her face burn.

This made her unable to vent the anger in her heart. At the same time, she secretly remembered this person called Nan Qiao.

Nan Qiao was the first person who dared to embarra.s.s her like this.

Meanwhile, Nan Qiao, whom Qu Pingwan had been thinking about, was happily eating ice cream in the dressing room. At the same time, she was stunned by her Fifth Brother’s looks.

“From this angle, I feel that you look even better.”

Nan Qiao savored the rich chocolate taste in her mouth, but her gaze was fixed on Xian Yu, who was putting on makeup, as she expressed her aesthetic opinion.

Her brother’s originally flamboyant silver hair was extended to his waist and draped over his back like a light cloud. Xian Yu’s slightly wild eyes also changed under the makeup artist’s hands. When his eyes softened, he seemed to have become a different person.

The first scene was going to be filmed in the afternoon so he had to do his makeup beforehand.

“It’s hard to hide natural beauty.”

Xian Yu took out his phone from his sleeve and replied.

Although his choice of words was inappropriate, looking at Xian Yu’s face, one really had to admit it.

Because of his makeup, he naturally couldn’t sit leisurely and eat ice cream like his Little Sister. Xian Yu, who could only move his hands and feet, could only swipe his cell phone to pa.s.s the boring time now.

However, he did not forget the woman who had caused trouble for his Little Sister just now. Now was a good time to tell his manager and get someone to investigate her background.

Nan Qiao listened to Xian Yu’s answer speechlessly. She only felt that his makeup and tone were a little pretentious.

However, Fifth Brother did have the right to do so. Looking at his good-looking face from all angles, Nan Qiao silently agreed with him.

“Done.”

The makeup artist, who had been silent all this time, spoke, indicating that the torture was over.

Xian Yu moved as if he had been granted amnesty. However, when he stood up, he was almost led astray by the weight on his head.

“This hairdo is a pain in the a.s.s.”

Although he said that he despised it, he did not dare to make any big movements. He was afraid that any movement of his head would ruin the makeup artist’s nearly an hour of effort.

The main thing was that he did not want to stay in “jail” for another hour.

“You’d better behave yourself.”

Nan Qiao looked at the person who wanted to move but didn’t dare to. Although she just said that to remind him, she almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.

Although Xian Yu usually sat there and didn’t speak much, once he was oppressed, he would instantly feel rebellious. Just like now, he clearly wanted to maintain a good appearance, but he couldn’t help but want to move.

As the two of them chatted, someone quickly called Xian Yu over to prepare to start filming.

Logically speaking, the first scene would not give the actors much pressure. Instead, as a good start, it would be a scene that everyone could film smoothly. Therefore, the director would choose a simpler scene.

After all, everyone would pay attention to a good start. Liu Cheng also wanted to let everyone gradually adapt.

“No, that’s not the truth I’m after.”

The young man stood in the middle of the venue. His voice was weak, but it was not drowned out by the pattering rain. His drenched body still maintained good posture as he spoke. The corners of his slightly raised eyes carried a hint of coldness. His eyes were persistent and firm as he looked ahead while his tone was unquestionable.

He was usually laid back, but at this moment, his expression darkened. His smiling eyes were so dark that there was almost no light. One could only see the hidden hostility in them.

For a moment, the world seemed to have darkened, leaving only his existence in everyone’s eyes. Only the obsession of a human remained. He stubbornly maintained his posture and adhered to the belief in his heart, becoming a bright light in the rain.

“Cut! Pa.s.s!”

Director Liu Cheng’s satisfied voice sounded.

Everyone seemed to be suddenly awakened. They blinked and focused their attention on the people present again. However, they also felt a little lost.

For a moment just now, they seemed to have really been brought into the story.

Nan Qiao stood at the side and looked at Xian Yu without blinking. She saw a certain liveliness in him and subconsciously smiled.

She knew that she had made the right choice.

The artificial rain stopped. Xian Yu casually wiped his face with a towel and smiled at Nan Qiao, who was watching him from below the stage..
