Chapter 128: 128 important Chapter 128: 128 important Of course, luck played a part. After having dinner, He Xing “lingered without leaving” because he wanted to wear down Fu Han, hoping she would agree to see a movie with him tomorrow. Unexpectedly, Su Cheng arrived.

Now, even if they didn’t go to the movies, it didn’t matter; at least he had successfully planted a seed of doubt in Su Cheng’s heart. Every time Su Cheng saw him from now on, he would definitely recall tonight, likely assuming that before Su Cheng knocked on the door, He Xing and Fu Han had been passionately entangled.

He Xing’s mood grew more and more cheerful as he thought about it. He picked up his phone and dialed Liang Tao’s number, “Starting tomorrow, arrange for someone to send Fu Han a bouquet of baby’s breath every day.”

Liang Tao hesitated for a moment but still mustered the courage to remind him, “Boss He, I think it would be better to send Miss Fu roses.”

“When did you start giving me advice?” He Xing’s tone changed, sending a chill through the air.

Liang Tao wished he could bite off his own tongue. Of all things, he had to remind his boss how to do things. Even with the best intentions, this was He Xing, who was always decisive and never second-guessed himself.

He was quite frightened, nodding and bowing in haste, “Boss He, I’m sorry, I’ll arrange it as you instructed immediately.”

He only realized after he had finished speaking that He Xing was not in front of him. His nodding and bowing had gone unnoticed.

But He Xing was in too good a mood to care today. He gave a noncommittal acknowledgement and then added after some thought, “Contact the world’s best jewelry designer. I want to commission a unique diamond necklace for Fu Han. The price is negotiable, but it must be one of a kind.”

“Yes, Boss He.” This time, Liang Tao was wiser, keeping his questions to himself despite his curiosities.

A few seconds later, He Xing spoke again, “I will send you the details for the necklace by email. This matter is very important; it must be completed within two months.”

…

Seizing the opportunity to roll over, she “shooed away” Yang Kaitai’s hand and whispered softly, “Kaitai, you haven’t been home since you came out. Don’t you want to go home and see Uncle Yang and the others?”

“When your show wraps up, I’ll take you with me to visit them,” Yang Kaitai said as he turned over and once again held Xia Ning close.

Xia Ning squeezed out a half-hearted smile and said in her usual coquettish voice, “But it’s so inconvenient for you here. It’s so remote, there’s nothing to do. You’re stuck in the hotel all day without being able to go anywhere.”

“Then, I’ll be your assistant. Wherever you go, I’ll follow,” Yang Kaitai said with a smile. “That way, you won’t have to worry about someone taking advantage of you the next time you go to a bar.”

“That’s out of the question!” Xia Ning raised her voice, but upon seeing Yang Kaitai’s displeasure, she leaned in and kissed his cheek, “You are the future heir of Yang Group. You can’t be doing things like that—I will never agree to it.”

Yang Kaitai’s expression softened a bit, but he still stood by his opinion, “I’ve already been to prison for you, what do these things matter?”

“But I do care,” Xia Ning keenly found Yang Kaitai’s weak spot and said with a smile brimming her face, “Haven’t I kept all your promises in my heart? Didn’t last night and today prove my resolve? Or do you not trust me?”

Yang Kaitai immediately surrendered, lost in Xia Ning’s sweet smile, “I don’t…”

“Then you go back to A City, work hard at Yang Group and strive to take over the company sooner. That’s the only way my father will truly agree to let me be with you.” Xia Ning’s delicate fingers pressed against Yang Kaitai’s lips as she spoke with pleading sincerity.

Yang Kaitai had no choice but to nod, completely forgetting how Xia Ning had been posturing flirtatiously in the bar just the day before.

When he agreed to leave H City first thing the next morning, Xia Ning showed him a genuinely sincere smile for the first time and also took the initiative for the first time.

The ambiguous sounds began to fill the room again.

…

The next period was just regular filming for the crew, which was always divided into Group A and Group B. Fu Han was the Chief Photographer for Group A, while Su Cheng was the Chief Photographer for Group B.

Xia Ning, playing the second female lead in the drama, made Fu Han quite unhappy when she heard the news. To her, she and Xia Ning were black and white, absolutely unable to coexist, to the extent that she once considered quitting her job as Photographer.

However, the crew assured her they wouldn’t let Xia Ning trouble her, and with Fu Han hoping for Cheng Yihan Company to advance further, she eventually agreed.

A month had passed since the filming started, and Fu Han rarely had to shoot Xia Ning, so even though they lived on the same floor, they seldom met, which naturally meant no conflict.

Today, they were supposed to shoot a big scene involving the male lead, the female lead, and the second female lead, scheduled for Group A. As usual, He Xing stood behind the monitors, with Su Cheng also arriving at Group A.

Over time, Bai Wei and Luo Qinghe’s rapport improved significantly, but there was an underlying sense of animosity between both of them and Xia Ning.

Xia Ning was dissatisfied not only with Bai Wei, the female lead, but also with Luo Qinghe, the male lead. In her heart, she always felt she should be the female lead, and with He Xing as the male lead, that would be perfect.

So today, she arrived on set with an air of arrogance. As the director was explaining the scene, she had the attitude of someone looking down her nose at others.

Watching from the side, Fu Han felt a surge of anger. Gritting her teeth, she thought to herself, Xia Ning better not cause any trouble in front of her, or she wouldn’t indulge Xia Ning’s princess temper.

As if on cue, Xia Ning’s expressions weren’t right during the first take, stiff as if she had gotten fillers.

The director rolled up the script and banged it on the table, “Xia Ning, were you even listening when I explained the scene? This is where your character meets the leads. At that point, you’re still a naïve and cheerful young girl, not yet corrupted. What’s with that look in your eyes? Are you trying to kill the female lead with your stare?”
