If he got married to Changqing, would it also be like this…
However, when he saw Changqing’s pretty little face covered in acne, he was suddenly filled with heartache. He only knew she took a leave for her acne, but he didn’t know it was so bad.
“Fu Yu, quick, take a seat and have a couple of drinks with me.” Yan Lei poured some wine for Fu Yu.
“Uncle, I have an acquaintance who’s very good at treating acne like Changqing’s.” Fu Yu said. “You know that people like us who run entertainment companies often have artistes with acne, and our artistes are usually treated by him.”
Yan Lei looked at Changqing. Changqing thought about it and still shook her head. “No thanks. Chuyi has already gotten me a very good doctor; I should heal in no time.”
“The one he got is still from Bo Han Hospital. This doctor I know is from Korea. They’re very good in this field. It doesn’t hurt to try.” Fu Yu’s face sank. “I’m doing this because I want you to return to the production team as soon as possible.”
Changqing frowned. “If I don’t go back, you can just cut my scenes and get someone else to be the second female lead. We haven’t shot many scenes yet, so it’s not impossible to do that.”
Fu Yu looked at her and said after a while, “I’ll try to not let that happen.”
“Fu Yu, we all know your intentions, but you don’t have to put yourself on the spot. You should still do what you have to do. Anyway, it actually doesn’t really matter if Changqing gets popular or not,” Yan Lei said while raising his glass. “Come, come, let’s drink.”
After dinner, Changqing went upstairs to rest using the excuse that she was feeling unwell.
Fu Yu and Shen Lu chatted with Yan Lei all the way until nine before leaving.
On the way back, Shen Lu sighed and said, “Forget it, Yu-er, I shouldn’t help you like this in the future.”
“Mom…” Fu Yu felt his heart clenching up. “Is it because you still can’t forget Uncle Yan after seeing him…”
“Your Uncle Yan clearly knows in his heart why we came today,” Shen Lu said. “You and Changqing really aren’t fated to be together. Although I’m fond of her, I can’t go against my morals and split a couple up. I’m also a divorcee, so I shouldn’t do something like this all the more. Moreover, you will only push Changqing further away by acting like this. Didn’t you see that she didn’t even come down after dinner?”
Fu Yu fell into a deep silence. However, he couldn’t let go.
After Fu Yu left, Changqing lay on the computer table, watching shows.
When Song Chuyi called, she was watching shows while eating.
“It’s already 11 and you’re not sleeping yet. Are you using the computer?” Song Chuyi questioned coldly.
“… 11 isn’t very late…” Changqing pouted.
“Get to bed now,” Song Chuyi instructed. “The computer has radiation and you aren’t even getting proper rest. Don’t you want your face to heal?”
“What are you being so aggressive for?” Changqing pressed her lips together, twirling a bayberry in between her fingers, saying in a muffled voice, “I’ll go to sleep, alright?”
“What are you eating?”
“Bayberries. They’re so sweet.”
“You’re not allowed to eat them—bayberries are heaty. Remember to brush your teeth before you sleep.”
“You’re too overbearing.” Changqing stomped her foot. “What on earth did you call me for?”
“To lecture you. Can’t I do that?” Song Chuyi snorted softly.
“You’re so hateful.” Changqing hung up in a huff.
After hanging up, she scolded Song Chuchu for a few rounds before brushing her teeth and going to bed obediently.
After lying on the bed, Changqing had a thought. She climbed up and took a picture of herself sleeping before sending it to Song Chuyi. “I’m sleeping. Look—where else would you find such an obedient wife like me?”
Song Chuyi replied very quickly: “Very obedient. I’ll reward you when I come back.”
Changqing was exhilarated: “What reward?”
Song Chuyi: “Horse riding until you’re satisfied.”
Horse riding…
Changqing covered her face and rolled around in bed. Song Chuchu’s too shameless. Who wants to go horse riding?
She couldn’t be bothered with him. What a gangster.
After switching off the lights, her brain became inexplicably excited and she couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.
She tossed and turned and finally fell asleep at one.
The next morning at eight, Song Chuyi returned from work.
Changqing lay on the bed, sleeping like a piglet.
Changqing didn’t wake up even after he came out from the shower. He chose a spacious place to lie down, falling asleep quickly.
Changqing woke up and with a turn of her body, she felt a warm body lying on the bed. She opened her eyes and Song Chuyi was lying beside her, sleeping quietly. Under his fair lids, there were dark circles of exhaustion and there was even stubble at the corners of his lips. However, he looked even more manly with the stubble and he even exuded masculinity while sleeping.
Changqing watched him for a while and picked her phone up quietly to scroll through Weibo. She didn’t realize it before, but once she started scrolling through Weibo, she got a shock. Last night, after she fell asleep, someone by the name of “Shopkeeper of the Circle” posted: “According to insiders’ news, a female actress from the production team of a recently popular show which just started filming not long ago secretly harmed another female actress from the same team and nearly disfigured her. The latter had her programs cancelled and was replaced on all her recordings because of her facial injuries. Related sources revealed that the said production team halted shooting and is in emergency discussions. There is a high chance that said victim’s parts in the show will be cut. I am not spouting nonsense.”
Changqing was in a daze. Could this be about her?
Could the female actress who secretly harmed her be Chi Yining?
She quickly opened the comments section and the netizens all guessed that it was the show she was filming.
Hu YY commented: “The victim is definitely Yan Changqing. I have a sister who works in the broadcasting station and I heard that the female host for this week’s ‘Challenge to the End’ was changed to Chi Yining at the last minute and the station didn’t state a specific date when Yan Changqing would return. The person who harmed her might very well have been Chi Yining or Zhao Zhu, those few people.”
Balabala commented: “It’s most probably Yan Changqing. I even saw Ke Yongyuan at the Shanghai Airport yesterday. Their production team should be rushing through the shoot in Northern City right now and he shouldn’t be in Shanghai.”
Water Merchant commented: “F*ck, f*ck, actresses these days are too ruthless, getting the victim’s roles cancelled after hurting her—what background does the perpetrator have?”
Diapers Love Pee commented: “Needless to say, it must be Chi Yining, that little b*tch, who did it. Forget that she’s promiscuous and fake, but to think she’s also so malicious?”
Changqing’s eyes were dazzled from all the comments. Her, Chi Yining and Zhao Zhu’s names had all made the headlines. Most netizens were criticizing Chi Yining, shooting her name to the top of the headlines.
At that moment, Changqing’s phone suddenly rang. It was actually a call from Boss Feng.
Changqing’s hand felt limp. Chi Yining was Boss Feng’s precious. Could he be calling to scold her?
She thought of Song Chuyi, who was still sleeping beside her, and took her phone. She got out of bed and went into the changing room. “Boss Feng…”
“Yan Changqing, is that post by ‘Shopkeeper of the Circle’ on Weibo your doing?” Boss Feng said in a huff. “The phones at the broadcasting station have been ringing non-stop since morning and the reporters outside are blocking off the entrance of the station. Do you really think you can do whatever you want with Fu Yu backing you? Let me tell you—Shang Wei also invested in this show, so doing this would only drag his company down into a difficult state as well.”
Changqing suddenly felt wronged and disappointed from the scolding. She had worked at the broadcasting station for such a long time, after all, but Boss Feng didn’t even show any concern with regards to her face and only cared about the interests of the broadcasting station. “Boss Feng, I’m totally unaware of the things on the internet…”
“I don’t care whether you’re aware of it or not. You’d better post a formal declaration right now to clarify that this incident has nothing to do with the production team, Chi Yining and Zhao Zhu.”
Changqing was angry. “But it’s true. My face was nearly disfigured. Someone did something to Asa’s makeup box.”
“Do you have evidence? Nobody did anything to your box; it could’ve just been a problem with your face,” Boss Feng said apathetically.
Changqing was so furious her body was trembling. “I won’t make a declaration.”
She hung up and cooled down. Suddenly, she started to feel uneasy.
Done for. Will Boss Feng fire me?
Over at Fu Yu’s side, they would definitely be implicated by the show and he might not be able to help her even if he wanted to.
“Why are you sitting here?” The door of the change room was suddenly pulled open. Song Chuyi stood lazily at the door with his eyes half-opened, staring at her.
“Song Chuchu…” There was a prickle in Changqing’s nose and she looked at him as though she found her savior. “I’m your wife, after all. Could you help put in a good word for me to Chief Zhan…”
Song Chuyi raised his eyebrows. “Sure. However, shouldn’t you give me some incentive for helping you?”
“Incentive?” Changqing was in a daze. “I’m your wife—talking about incentives is harmful to our relationship.”
“It’s not harmful.” Song Chuyi’s tall and straight body took a few steps towards her. Changqing backed away subconsciously and was cornered by him against the wardrobe. She raised her head and looked at him blankly with her dense eyes until his lips curled up into an apparent smile. She finally seemed to have realized what incentive he was referring to…
“You… how can you act like this,” Changqing said shyly and angrily, “I’m actually very anxious, yet you still keep thinking about these kinds of things.”
“Stupid…” Song Chuyi pressed his hands by her side. His handsome face slowly approached her ear and his voice was soft and light too. “With me around, do you think you’ll need to worry about such things?”
“Huh?” Changqing couldn’t react in time. “Do you know what happened? It’s not a typical problem.”
“I can deal with it even if it’s not typical, but right now, you’ll just have to deal with me.” Song Chuyi scratched the corner of her eye with his rough fingers then in her hazy gaze, he bent down and pressed his warm, thin lips on hers.
His tongue attacked her mouth and Changqing was still in the clouds. What he meant was that she didn’t have to worry about anything else now.
Do I really not have to worry about anything?
She was still in slight disbelief, but after thinking about it, it was true—Chief Zhan was his best buddy and he even had brothers from the triad. Who was Boss Feng to them?
After thinking about it, she didn’t feel that worried.
After she calmed herself, she suddenly realized that all the clothes she was wearing had disappeared and she exclaimed softly, “No… not here.”
“I think it’s quite nice here; we haven’t tried it here before.” Song Chuyi breathed heavily while continuing to disrupt her breathing. His right hand and her left hand were interlocked.
