After dinner, Ning Xi hesitated for a long time before going to find Lu Tingxiao.
On the quiet balcony, Lu Tingxiao did not urge her. He just stood there silently, patiently waiting for her reply.
Ning Xi took a deep breath, turned around and looked at the man beside her, and finally made up her mind and said, "Lu Tingxiao, I have thought about what you said. I promise you that I can stay for another three months, but after three months, I really have to leave."
Even if there was nothing between them, it would be too easy for her, an unmarried woman, to live in someone else's home and cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Thank you." Lu Tingxiao showed a relieved expression, and at the same time, a well-hidden dark light flashed in his eyes.
"Do you have any scenes tomorrow?" Lu Tingxiao asked.
Ning Xi sighed and nodded, "Yes."
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Lu Tingxiao asked with concern, "Why, is tomorrow's scene difficult?"
Ning Xi held her chin up and leaned on the railing, pondering, "It shouldn't be difficult, it's just a kissing scene, but the target is Jiang Muye, I'm really afraid that I will be distracted! What if I can't help hitting him in the middle of the scene? There's a high possibility that I will burst out laughing!"
"Kissing scene..." Lu Tingxiao narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he had known that there would be such a scene in this movie, he had been deliberately avoiding this question because he was worried that he would not be able to control himself and do something that would disgust her.
At this moment, Ning Xi suddenly thought of something and slapped her head and said, "Oh, by the way, Lu Tingxiao, I have something... to thank you for."
"What?" Lu Tingxiao asked absentmindedly.
"I just found out that the investor who made the additional investment last time was Mr. Lu. I think it was you who privately asked me to be the second female lead. So, thank you." Ning Xi expressed her gratitude sincerely.
"I hope you don't blame me."
"Am I that ungrateful? I should definitely thank you anyway!"
"You're welcome, it's just by the way." But the truth is, he did all this entirely for her, and Jiang Muye was the one who really did it by the way.
Ning Xi thought hard and said, "By the way, I've also taken advantage of you a lot. It's too insincere to just say thank you verbally. How about I cook a meal for you and Xiaobao myself when I'm free? Although I'm usually too lazy to cook, my cooking is delicious. If I hadn't entered the entertainment industry, I might have become a chef. I tell you!"
Lu Tingxiao chuckled, "I'm looking forward to it."
the next day.
Ning Xi arrived at the film and television city and saw from afar a large group of little girls gathered near the filming location. In the middle was a particularly dazzling golden head. It was obvious at a glance that it was Jiang Muye and his girl fans.
Ning Xi subconsciously wanted to take a detour, but just as she was about to slip away, a scream rang out from the crowd - "Ah! It's Ning Xi!"
Ning Xi thought she was doomed, and was about to protect her face, but she didn't expect the group of girls to line up in front of her, then collectively bowed and said in unison, "I'm sorry—"
After apologizing, the little girls stared at her with starry eyes and said in unison:
"Miss Ning Xi, I'm sorry, we misunderstood you before! Please don't bother with us, and be sure to continue playing the role of Meng Changge!"
"That's right! Your acting is so great. We all love your scenes with Makino!"
"I played that few seconds of footage on loop at home all day long!"
…
Ning Xi was confused by this group of girls and subconsciously looked at Jiang Muye.
