Unfortunately, Sheng Yan still couldn’t get his wish in the end.
It wasn’t until they had both been relatively open with each other that he realized she had a layer of defense.
He Jinxia collapsed onto the bed, a sly smile on her face as if her earlier panic had never happened.
Now it was Sheng Yan’s turn to clench his teeth.
His eyes darkened as he gently stroked her face, his voice hoarse, "Did you do this on purpose?"
He Jinxia felt a hint of danger and hurriedly shook her head, blinking her innocent eyes as she said:
"A friend is coming, how could I control that? I was never very regular, and only got a little better after I lost weight. But because I caught a cold a few days ago, it’s been off again."
Sheng Yan pinched her cheek and whispered in her ear with a bit of a growl in his voice, "You really must be sent by the heavens to deal with !"
His voice even had a bit of a grinding his teeth!
He Jinxia raised an eyebrow, silently criticizing: She even felt that Sheng Yan was sent by the heavens to consu her...
She doesn’t know that this man, once he pushes aside his asceticism, becos like a hungry wolf.
In her past life, even though she frequented places of pleasure and was proficient in all kinds of arts, able to move in high circles and act as a spy, she knew how to seduce n.
But she was raised like a rich young lady, only knowing how to lure n, without understanding how their ntality might change once they were hooked, so she couldn’t fathom certain aspects of a man’s thoughts.
Seeing her feigned ignorance, Sheng Yan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, pinching her face again. He bent down and gently bit her collarbone, then flipped over to lie on the bed, pulling her into his embrace.
Today was a suitable day for intimate conversation—only able to chat under the covers.
Sheng Yan had made a special trip to stay at the hotel where Jinxia was staying because tomorrow he was flying to another country to start shooting a new film, and it was very possible that he wouldn’t be able to see Jinxia for a long ti.
They had just broken through to a new level, both indulging in the taste and Sheng Yan felt a bit reluctant to leave, so he quietly ca to see her.
He Jinxia also wanted to see Sheng Yan as soon as possible, but Director Liu’s filming schedule was fixed, with set tis for filming, and if there were scenes scheduled for the evening, they would have to stay late.
Unfortunately, today happened to be one of those days when they had to film at night. It was a last-minute addition by Director Liu, not originally in the actors’ schedules—clearly, it was a case of man proposes, god disposes.
No matter how eager He Jinxia was to return, she had to suppress her restless heart, give her all to act well, and then rush back.
In bed, the two of them held each other, sharing the events of the past few days, their interactions resembling those of an old married couple.
He Jinxia first talked about so amusing incidents on set, then suddenly thought of sothing and asked, "What exactly is your relationship with Yu Yanyu?"
She knew from Yu Yanyu that Sheng Yan was his "Big Brother," but didn’t understand the specifics, just that Sheng Yan and Yu Yanyu were very close.
Sheng Yan caressed her long hair and said lightly, "As a kid, he always followed around, like a little tail."
He Jinxia chuckled and teased, "They say you can tell soone’s future by the age of three, and seven, and I bet your personality hasn’t changed much since you were a child. Considering your noble and aloof nature, to have soone follow you relentlessly, undeterred by cold looks, it seems you quite like him."
She believed that if Sheng Yan really disliked soone, he could never tolerate that person following him around all the ti.
Sheng Yan: "Yanyu is naive and kind-hearted, just a bit slick with words, but he’s not malicious."
He Jinxia: "The slick talk is real, the simplicity and naivety are questionable, but it’s true he harbors no ill will. He keeps finding excuses to chat with lately, frequently steering the conversation towards you. He may have noticed sothing."
After pondering for a while, Sheng Yan said, "When I find the ti, I’ll throw a party and introduce you to everyone."
He Jinxia quickly stopped him, "No, please don’t. Although people in the circle are pretty tight-lipped, better safe than sorry. My career is currently not suitable for going public."
Sheng Yan felt regret in his heart, he had only ntioned it to test the waters; if Jinxia agreed, he would be overjoyed.
Big Boss Sheng wished he could declare his ownership, letting everyone know who his woman was.
He Jinxia didn’t want to dwell on this topic and changed the subject: "The second male lead in the crew is nad Ren Xiao. I’ve worked with him on a reality show before, and having worked with him again, I’ve found that he has an inspired acting ability.
Although his performance can be a bit raw, the authenticity makes up for it. I wonder if we could entice him to join our company."
The more Jinxia worked with Ren Xiao, the more he recognized the kid’s passion for acting and his shy personality.
By popular standards, Ren Xiao was the legendary ’child of soone else’s family,’ soone who was just good in every way, the more you looked at him, the more pleasing he beca.
He Jinxia’s auntie ntality kicked in; she didn’t want this kid to be buried in obscurity, so she brought it up with Sheng Yan.
Sheng Yan inquired about Ren Xiao’s company.
He Jinxia: "I didn’t ask specifically, I just know it’s a company started by a leading Movie King. I was embroiled in a scandal with him last year; most of the handling was done by his company. It’s said that the Movie King hates when his artists are involved in rumors, because he himself has been hurt by such scandals in the past."
Sheng Yan’s slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he gently pinched the space between Jinxia’s eyebrows, "Don’t worry about it anymore, his boss won’t let him go."
He Jinxia, curious, asked: "Do you know him?"
Sheng Yan nodded: "We’ve worked together on a film before. Movie King Liang, despite being sowhat aloof in nature, is a good person. In his early years, he nearly got blackballed from the industry."
"He had a good image, and his debut was as the lead in a fantasy drama which was a huge hit. But then he was targeted by a third female lead in the sa crew, who deliberately spread false rumors about a romance to gain publicity.
Unfortunately, at that ti the actress was dating a boss of an entertainnt company in secret. The aging boss, hiding his identity, thought their romance was real, and held a huge grudge. It was said that back then, Liang, the Movie King, almost had his hands broken due to that."
He Jinxia frowned: "It was that serious?"
Sheng Yan gently patted her head: "The entertainnt circle used to be very chaotic. It was only after the major shake-up a decade ago that many corrupt practices were dealt with. Plus, with the advent of the internet, many issues can’t be hidden, so no one dares to act against the tide. Movie King Liang was just born at the wrong ti, what a pity..."
His voice carried a note of regret: "Movie King Liang is a very good actor. I could feel it when I worked with him. At that ti, he was about to retire, he was just a guest appearance, playing a minor role. Our face-off was very brief."
He Jinxia in turn patted Sheng Yan’s head and didn’t say a word.
It’s lonely at the top. When a person climbs to the peak, those thought to be companions begin their descent, leaving on their own at the summit; loneliness is to be expected.
Sotis, top actors aren’t afraid of not finding good scripts; they’re afraid of lacking worthy opponents.
Both treasured the ti spent together and continued their quiet chat until late into the night.
