The Villain's Persona Collapses After Falling in Love

Bi Xie had never been in a proper relationship in her entire life before dying while climbing a mountain with her best friend.

She then made a contract with a gorgeous man who crawled out of ...

Chapter 440 The Movie King's Wife is a Bit-Packed Actress (96)

During the reshoots, not only did Xiao Jingyi have problems with his lines, but An Xie's character "Hong Ou" also frequently malfunctioned.

Zhang Shu was almost going crazy. When eating his boxed lunch, he deliberately arranged for Xiao Jingyi and Bi Xie to sit at the same table, and then had a heart-to-heart talk with the relationship expert.

"As the saying goes, once you've seen the ocean, other waters seem insignificant; once you've beheld the clouds of Wushan, other clouds seem pale in comparison. You can still be friends after breaking up, right? You two aren't children anymore. You should separate your personal and professional lives. There are so many couples in the entertainment industry who can still pretend to be friends after breaking up, appearing on variety shows holding hands and kissing to gain attention. Why can't you two...?"

Zhang Shu's expression was agitated, his thumb and forefinger clenched into a thin line, and the veins on his forehead bulged as he continued, "Broad-mindedness! Why can't you have even just a tiny bit more broad-mindedness..."

Lu Ming rolled his eyes at him and kicked him under the table. "Stop it."

"What a sin! What sins have I committed to deserve this!" Zhang Shu pouted as if he was about to cry. He took Xiao Jingyi's hand in one hand and Bi Xie's hand in the other, and held them together. He said sincerely and humbly, "Promise me, we'll get it in one take, okay? Ancestors."

Upon seeing their hands forced together, Bi Xie stiffened, as did Xiao Jing.

Bi Xie tried to pull her hand back, but Zhang Shu held it down firmly, squinting at her with his small eyes and pleading, "Give me some face, act well, okay?"

Lu Ming looked at Zhang Shu's humble demeanor speechlessly, then suddenly kicked the stool aside and stood up. "The saying 'Once you've seen the vast ocean, other waters are nothing; once you've seen the clouds of Wushan, other clouds are nothing' means that after seeing the boundless ocean, other waters are not worth seeing. After seeing the magnificent clouds of Wushan, other clouds are not worth seeing. Zhang the Rat, you should read more books."

"And you two too!"

Lu Ming looked at the bewildered Bi Xie and Xiao Jingyi and said bluntly, "You're actors, and you're paid high salaries, so you should do your jobs well! If you really can't handle it, then get out! Don't drag the whole crew here and waste time!"

Lu Ming's words made Bi Xie feel ashamed.

Her role in "The Legend of the Fox Spirit" wasn't particularly large, but she was paid more than the average professional.

She paused, then sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, I'll adjust as soon as possible."

Lu Ming's anger remained unabated: "What's the use of you adjusting it alone? I'm giving you one more day. If you still can't adjust it by this time tomorrow..."

Zhang Shu's heart pounded in his chest at Lu Ming's fury. Afraid that she would directly say that the filming was over, he quickly interrupted, "Sister Lu, you can definitely calm down, you can definitely calm down. Don't be angry, don't be angry. I'm just gently scolding them, aren't I?"

At this point, Zhang Shu quickly winked at Bi Xie and Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing ignored him, and Bi Xie nodded, saying to Lu Ming, "Sister Lu, I guarantee that he and I can both adjust."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi glanced at her indifferently.

After lunch, the crew took a short break before resuming work.

Outside, there was a flurry of activity, with lights and voices mingling, and occasionally a few shouts could be heard, but inside the break room, it was completely quiet.

Bi Xie and Xiao Jing sat facing each other. The man stared at her neck, his brows furrowed and he remained silent.

After a moment of silence, Bi Xie spoke first, "I can ask Ji... to be quieter while you're filming, but... could you let me talk to him?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing's expression turned cold.

Bi Xie let out a breath and looked up at him. "If he doesn't come out, and I speak directly to you, will he be able to hear me?"

Xiao Jingyi remained silent, his face appearing slightly pale.

Bi Xie sighed, unable to contain himself any longer: "Can't you cooperate a little?"

"An Xie, who told you to release that recording? You dumped me, you're tired of playing with me, huh?" Xiao Jingyi finally spoke, but his tone was accusatory, his brows furrowed in a deep fog.

Bi Xie was taken aback, then smiled slightly and said noncommittally, "I'll send it if I want to. Haven't you ever kissed me? Haven't we ever slept together?"

The girl's eyes were innocent, yet her words were so explicit. Xiao Jingyi immediately stood up, his breath unsteady, and said, "You...you have no shame? The person who did those things to you wasn't me!"

“Is that so?” Bi Xie also stood up and slowly approached.

Xiao Jing stared at her intently, not understanding why she was approaching him. He could only retreat step by step, frowning as he warned her.

The girl's breath drew closer, and Xiao Jing felt a chill run down his spine. His heels hit the hard wall, and he realized he had nowhere to retreat. He shouted in a deep, panicked, and disgusted voice, "What are you doing getting so close!"

Bi Xie smiled, her expression utterly alluring. "Xiao Jingyi, why do you hate girls so much? Is it because of Bingzhou Island? Or Huo Yichu?"

She stared intently at Xiao Jingyi's expression, and after a moment, she said calmly, "Neither, right?"

"Is it because of...the Qin family?"

The man frowned, his fists clenched, suppressing his inner rage and refraining from strangling the girl's slender neck. His face had already darkened to the point of being black. When he sensed the girl's body pressing against him, he stiffened again and said coldly, "An Xie, you're too bold."

Be bold enough to recklessly touch his secrets!

"Xiao Jingyi, are you planning to keep yourself in a cage for the rest of your life? If you hate women for the rest of your life, are you planning to never date or get married?"

"An Xie, aren't you meddling too much?" Xiao Jingyi lowered his voice, and upon closer inspection, his voice trembled slightly.

Clearly, Bi Xie's proximity to him was too close, making him feel uncomfortable.

"Xiao Jingyi, I've always been curious, why didn't you clarify things when the rumors about us were flying everywhere?" Bi Xie narrowed his eyes slightly. "I didn't clarify things because I like you, but what about you? Why didn't you clarify things?"

As they spoke, the girl pressed her face against his, and their breaths could be heard.

The man's handsome face flushed red, a blush that was hard to tell if from anger or embarrassment, and he hissed in a trembling voice, "Don't... don't come any closer..."

Bi Xie stared at the man's thin, trembling lips, feeling a mixture of doubt and delight at his reaction. She thought that Xiao Jingyi would have angrily grabbed her by the neck and thrown her away long before she got close, but she didn't expect him to be so patient and allow her to get this close.

She naturally didn't think that this intimacy was with Xiao Jingyi's tacit approval. The worse his expression was, the greater the influence Ji Gui had on him!

During this time, she had a bad feeling, as if Ji Gui would disappear.

She couldn't pinpoint the source of this premonition, but it had indeed grown stronger lately.

So... she wanted to see Ji Gui again.

Bi Xie pursed his lips, his eyes shining as he looked at Xiao Jingyi.

To be precise, she was staring into his eyes.

Xiao Jing shook his head with an extremely bad expression, his breathing slightly heavy. Suddenly, he put his hands on Bi Xie's shoulders, as if he was about to push her away. After noticing that she was staring at "who" in his eyes, his disgust turned into anger. He reached out to push her away, but the next moment, he hugged the girl tightly in his arms.
