Xia Duoduo shot her a glare, stopped her movents, and sat on the mat, panting.
She grabbed the bottle of mineral water beside her and chugged it down, then wiped her mouth and said, "Don’t look down on , alright? I admit I used to be pretty lazy—if I could sit, I definitely wouldn’t stand. But now, I have a goal! I’m determined to transform into a woman with an amazing figure, so stunning that no man can take their eyes off !"
Ji Wei gave her a aningful look. "Were you triggered by sothing?"
"Triggered... N-no, not at all." Xia Duoduo guiltily continued drinking water, but Zii’s seductive and graceful figure flashed through her mind.
Isn’t the Great Demon King into those kinds of sexy enchantresses?
Just wait and see—she could totally have curve appeal and a killer figure too!
Xia Duoduo’s expression had already betrayed her inner thoughts, but Ji Wei didn’t press further. She sat down next to her on the mat and nudged her with her body. "Didn’t you say you had sothing important to ask ? What is it?"
Xia Duoduo slapped her forehead. "I got so into the workout just now that I almost forgot until you reminded !"
She hurriedly leaned close to Ji Wei’s ear and asked, "Be honest with —did Ye Cheng really go to France for a business trip, or did he go sowhere else?"
Ji Wei looked at her and, with a calm deanor, said, "Who did you hear that from?"
"A few female artists at the company were gossiping. They said the Great Demon King got injured and has been recovering at ho recently."
The Great Demon King?
Is that the nickna Xia Duoduo gave Ye Cheng?
Well, it certainly is unique.
"Getting injured doesn’t necessarily an anything. Maybe he was in France on a business trip and got hurt while trying to play the hero, defending soone from criminals. That scenario isn’t entirely impossible."
"But his phone beca unreachable as soon as he arrived in France, and when he ca back, he went straight to his apartnt and refused to see anyone. I even went out of my way to buy him so care packages and tried to visit him, but he shut out directly and even scolded , saying I should stop taking leave and focus on acting! It just pisses off! I an, co on, I’m the only female artist under his managent—how could he treat like this?"
The more Xia Duoduo ranted, the more unfair she felt deep down. She squeezed the mineral water bottle in her hand until it creaked.
Ji Wei, however, could see the worry and impatience hidden underneath her anger.
"He probably just doesn’t want you to delay the filming of the drama because of him. Besides, he’s a grown man—he can take care of himself. You really don’t need to worry too much."
"Who... who’s worried about him?" Xia Duoduo’s face involuntarily reddened. "I just think this whole thing feels really suspicious, and I want to figure out what’s actually going on."
Ji Wei rolled her eyes discreetly.
This girl—her face practically screams the word ’worried,’ yet she refuses to admit it!
"Even if you figure it out, then what? Are you planning to fly over to France and beat up so street punks? What you really need to focus on right now is acting well. When the day cos that you’ve beco a super star, Ye Cheng will probably treat you like a queen and hold you in the palm of his hand. He wouldn’t dare shut you out again, even if you gave him a double dose of bravery."
Xia Duoduo stared at her for a while, as if what Ji Wei said was starting to make sense...
But still, not being able to see the Great Demon King and confirm how he’s doing left her uneasy. How could she concentrate on acting under these circumstances?
Seeing her expression soften sowhat, Ji Wei seized the mont and said, "Duoduo, do you really want to see Ye Cheng? I actually have an idea—a way to guarantee he’ll see you, and even let you into his house. Want to hear it?"
"What’s the idea?" Xia Duoduo’s curiosity was piqued as she blinked and asked.
"Lean in."
Ji Wei whispered a few words into Xia Duoduo’s ear. Her face turned red as she asked hesitantly, "Will that idea actually work?"
