The man relaxed his grip slightly, and the woman, caught off guard, began to fall towards the ground.
"Careful." The man, quick as lightning, reached out to steady her, but withdrew his hand just as quickly, curling his lips into a smile that almost enchanted the woman’s entire world.
The actress playing opposite Dong Xieyou was nad Mona. She was a budding model, tall and slender with delicate features. Dressed in a pale green flowing robe with water sleeves, her hair was styled in a cloud-like coiffure, elegant and graceful, dainty and fine.
Even though it was just a costu, it didn’t hide her striking looks. She shyly lowered her gaze, "Thank you."
"Not a problem." The man replied indifferently.
"Everyone’s worked hard, so I bought milk tea and hot dogs. The weather’s getting colder, warm yourselves up."
As the voice dropped, everyone looked over to see Xue Chengcheng approaching in an orange coat. Her skin appeared slightly pale, but she looked quite well otherwise.
Following her was a maid carrying a cardboard box, distributing milk tea to everyone.
There was a mont of silence on set. Wasn’t it said she was in a vegetative state? How had she suddenly shown up on set?
Dong Xieyou’s pupils contracted slightly; she lowered her gaze, hiding a fleeting cold glint in her eyes.
Director Zhang was the first to react. He stepped forward and said, "Why did you co back without a word? Shouldn’t you be recovering well in the hospital?"
Xue Chengcheng smiled shyly, "I’m fine, but I worried the director and colleagues. I couldn’t feel at ease wasting another day, so I thought to co back early."
Such dedication to work.
Director Zhang saw she was genuinely okay and felt relieved. "It’s good you’re fine. Go change into your costu. We will shoot your scenes in a bit."
Xue Chengcheng gave a gentle smile and followed the head of the makeup crew.
As she passed by Dong Xieyou, she paused briefly and gave him a polite nod and smile.
Dong Xieyou narrowed his eyes slightly.
Mona feigned indifference as she lowered her gaze. Wasn’t it all over the internet that she committed suicide and beca a vegetable? The crew had been discussing privately who would take over the lead role. Unexpectedly, she returned without a word.
Absentmindedly, she glanced up and saw a fleeting look of malevolence in the eyes of the man across from her. Startled, she dismissed it as an illusion, as he appeared calm when she looked again.
"Miss, aren’t you afraid Xue Chengcheng will betray you? She holds quite a bit of hostility towards you." Ah Yun quietly voiced her concern.
"Despite her many foolish actions, she’s inherently smart and knows how to act in her favor. Besides, I hold sothing over her. If she wants to et the King of Hell sooner, I wouldn’t mind." Yun Ya said softly.
Xue Chengcheng still had her uses. Otherwise, she would have t her end along with Guan Donghui and Tian Tian two years ago. If she’s wise, she’d know how to act.
Ah Yun felt that her mistress’s thoughts were unfathomable. She couldn’t comprehend them at all, just like with Lianlian’s case. Without her knowledge, Yun Ya had identified the problem at a glance. Such perceptive insight garnered Ah Yun’s admiration.
Yun Ya didn’t head ho directly; instead, she instructed Du Shan to drive to Chu Xiang Pavilion. They stopped at the back entrance, which led to a narrow alley. The facade featured crimson gates and towering designs reminiscent of ancient architectural styles. Entering through the back, they arrived at a large courtyard filled with wooden stakes. Despite the onset of deep autumn and its chilly temperatures, Yun Ya, sensitive to cold, had long donned a cotton coat and frequently clutched a hand warr. anwhile, the bare-chested n were drenched in sweat, training fervently.
Upon seeing the young lady approach, they all imdiately ceased their activities, turned to her, bowed in unison, and greeted.
"Miss."
This scene startled Ah Yun, her eyes widening, but she quickly composed herself and obediently stayed by Yun Ya’s side.
Yun Ya waved her hand casually, "Continue with your training. I’m just here to look around."
The n resud their training with fervor, engaging in hand-to-hand combat, wrestling, and posture exercises that stirred one’s blood.
Yun Ya watched briefly before beckoning a person over, "Ah Le, co here."
The boy, exercising energetically, rushed over with a bright smile, wiping sweat from his brow, "Miss, what can I do for you?"
This Ah Le was, in fact, the assistant at the restaurant.
Yun Ya glanced at Ah Yun beside her, "I’m entrusting this girl to you. Train her well for ."
Ah Yun was shocked, "Miss...."
Yun Ya smiled, "Ah Yun, being one of mine ans you need to have the ability to protect yourself. Starting today, you’ll learn from Ah Le here."
