Chapter 127: Rejection

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although there were always a few idiots who appeared, for her first day on set, Nan Qiao’s experience was not bad.

At the very least, Director Liu Cheng’s filming skills surprised her. After observing her Fifth Brother’s acting skills up close, she had a deeper understanding of him.

“Why are you in a daze?”

Xian Yu looked at Nan Qiao sitting in the car in a daze and not saying anything. He couldn’t help but want to tease her.

Today was the second day of filming. Xian Yu had a lot of scenes today, so he needed to go to the production team early to start preparing.

Only then did Nan Qiao come back to her senses slightly. Her gaze landed on Xian Yu’s smiling face and she subconsciously revealed a smile.

“Nothing much.”

She narrowed her eyes and retracted her thoughts slightly, but a portion of her thoughts still revolved around the arrogant woman from yesterday.

Although Nan Qiao had only appointed the male lead, she did not expect such a person to appear among the actors. After she returned home yesterday, she checked the other party’s ident.i.ty and realized that she was the daughter of the investor.

It didn’t seem strange to bring in funds to join the production team.

However, when she thought of that person’s arrogant att.i.tude, Nan Qiao frowned.

As she was thinking, the car slowly stopped.

They arrived at the filming location.

According to the previous procedure, Xian Yu quickly changed into his clothes and did his makeup. At this moment, he stood beside the camera and prepared to start filming.

Nan Qiao was standing beside him when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw the person from yesterday.

It was Qu Pingwan.

She was wearing a beautiful ancient dress and the way she stood there without saying anything made people take a few more glances. However, the image of yesterday was still vivid in their minds. Nan Qiao also did not have a good impression of her.

After looking at the other party’s face for a second, Nan Qiao slowly retracted her gaze. Unless necessary, she didn’t want to have any interaction with such a person.

However, just because she didn’t want to, it didn’t mean that the other party wouldn’t come looking for her.

Qu Pingwan saw Xian Yu standing there, his figure straight as a pine tree. Just one look was enough to move her heart. The moment Qu Pingwan saw him, she took a step forward and couldn’t help but walk towards where Xian Yu was standing.

After a few steps, Qu Pingwan realized that the person who had occupied her seat yesterday was also here. Her fervent expression instantly turned cold as she stared at Nan Qiao’s beautiful face with a hint of jealousy.

“Xian Yu.” Qu Pingwan’s gentle voice came from behind. “It’s going to be our scene soon. Can you help me rehea.r.s.e it together?”

Xian Yu, who was discussing his scenes with Director Liu Cheng, turned around when he heard this voice. He thought it was someone looking for him at this time, but when he saw it was Qu Pingwan, the polite expression on his face disappeared.

“I’m not free.”

He said coldly, leaving only the back of his head visible to her.

The smile on Qu Pingwan’s face stiffened a little as she was a little caught off guard. It was as if she did not expect to be rejected so bluntly.

“But it’s not appropriate to find someone else for our scenes…”

However, Qu Pingwan was not the kind of person who would give in when she hit a wall. Furthermore, she liked Xian Yu very much. Even after being rejected by him, she still composed herself and started a conversation with him again.

Nan Qiao stood between the two of them and raised her eyebrows when she saw Qu Pingwan’s enthusiastic att.i.tude towards her Fifth Brother.

If not for the fact that she had seen the person’s extremely arrogant appearance with her own eyes yesterday, it would be difficult to believe that the person in front of her now was the same as yesterday.

“Qiaoqiao, let’s go.”

Xian Yu, on the other hand, couldn’t take it anymore and ended the conversation with Director Liu Cheng. He grabbed Nan Qiao’s hand and planned to leave.

He only felt that Qu Pingwan was like a fly that could not be chased away. She kept flying around his ear, disturbing him.

His reply was straightforward, and Qu Pingwan’s second attempt at currying favor with him failed again. Xian Yu’s obvious dislike for her was just short of announcing it to the world.

The indistinct gazes around them landed on Qu Pingwan, who was still standing on the spot. It was as if they were silently mocking her. She felt her face turn cold and hot, and her heart instantly felt uncomfortable.

How, how could he—

Qu Pingwan did not expect to be so disliked by Xian Yu. She was so angry that she threw the script in her hand and strode away.

Xian Yu and Nan Qiao went straight to the filming location. They were going to start filming here later.

Afraid that something like yesterday would happen, Xian Yu didn’t really want his Little Sister to leave his line of sight so that she wouldn’t be bullied in places he couldn’t see.

Thus, he simply got someone to set up a shaded place and let Nan Qiao sit there and watch him film.

When the others saw Xian Yu seriously taking care of his Little Sister, they didn’t think too much about it. After all, they had watched the variety show before and naturally knew about Nan Qiao’s relationship with him. Now that the siblings’ faces were put together, it was quite pleasing to the eye. Seeing this, their mood improved.

“Come, come, get ready!”

The script supervisor shouted, and everyone began to move.

“Be good and wait for me.”

Xian Yu reminded her and walked to his seat to adjust his emotions and prepare to start filming.

Qu Pingwan appeared out of nowhere and stood leisurely opposite Xian Yu. For some reason, the corners of her lips even curled up slightly. She seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

“Action!”

As Liu Cheng’s voice sounded, the noisy venue instantly fell silent. Only Xian Yu and Qu Pingwan’s voices could be heard.

“I’ve never met you before.”

The man looked coldly at the unfamiliar woman in front of him, his eyes filled with vigilance.

The woman smiled and was about to speak when she was suddenly interrupted.

“Cut! What kind of look is that?”

It was Liu Cheng who stopped the filming unhappily.

He stared at Qu Pingwan as if he was looking at trash. He frowned in disdain.

“This is the first time you meet him and you decide to look at him lovingly?”

Although Liu Cheng already knew that this was someone the investors had forced in, he still felt like he had eaten sh*t when he saw Qu Pingwan’s standard. It was really hard to explain in a few words.

However, the problem was that he had no choice but to continue eating this s.h.i.t.

When Liu Cheng thought of this, his mood sank. He even looked at Qu Pingwan with an exceptionally picky gaze.

“Sorry, director.”

Qu Pingwan forced a smile. She did not expect to be reprimanded by Liu Cheng in front of everyone. This made her especially unhappy.

After all, she was the daughter who had been pampered and spoiled at home. Qu Pingwan did not expect Liu Cheng to dare to treat her like this.

“Do it again.”

Liu Cheng’s face turned cold as he announced.

No one dared to say anything. They just focused on their work, afraid of tainting themselves with the bad luck.

“The expression is wrong. Do it again.”

“Action! Your movement is not good enough. Do it again.”

“Do it again.”

“Do it again.”

Qu Pingwan did not know how many retakes she had done, but she felt that she was about to become a stiff puppet. Only then did she hear someone say something different.

“Let’s take a break first.”

Liu Cheng spoke.

Qu Pingwan’s face was pale as she walked to her seat and sat down. She felt that her limbs were in great pain..
