Chapter 221 Extra - Liao Qian and Wu Cheng Chapter 9
The room was very quiet. Liao Qian could feel his heavy gaze pressing on her, waiting for her answer.
He said he wanted to be friends with her.
But now, his words sound ambiguous no matter how you listen to them.
If we are friends, do we need to talk like this?
Unsure of what he meant, Liao Qian didn't want to reveal herself first, so she turned her head away from him and said, "Even if we're friends, we can't see each other all the time."
Wu Cheng stared at her for a few seconds, "So, you agree to be friends with me?"
"No, I mean I'm a public figure. You can always check my updates online."
What she meant was that if he wanted to see her, he could just search for her online and there was no need to go through the trouble of meeting her in person. There was really no need to go through all the trouble of coming here.
Suddenly, her chin was pinched, and Liao Qian was forced to look him in the eye. She saw a dark light surging under his dark eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a mocking arc, "You are so reluctant to see me, is it because you like someone?"
I didn't know why he suddenly said this, and I was also afraid that he would discover my deep-seated secret, so I hurriedly denied it, "This has nothing to do with you."
"Do you like your partner?"
Liao Qian didn't say anything, but she felt relieved in her heart. Fortunately, he didn't find out.
Wu Cheng saw her expression, which seemed to indicate her agreement. His expression suddenly turned cold. "Is it because of him that you keep rejecting me?"
"This has nothing to do with him." Liao Qian didn't want to be misunderstood, and she was annoyed by him, so her voice suddenly became louder. "Could you please stop being so unreasonable?"
"I'm being unreasonable?" Wu Cheng let go of her, clearly feeling out of breath. His chest heaved up and down as he gasped. "You like him, and you're protecting him."
Liao Qian closed her eyes, unable to bear it any longer. "Does who I like have anything to do with you? Excuse me?"
After these words were spoken, both of them fell silent.
There seemed to be several unbridled lines running rampant in the air, invisibly widening the distance between the two people.
After a long moment, Wu Cheng smiled obscurely, his voice thick with grievance, "Qianqian, do you hate me so much?"
"I didn't mean that." Liao Qian turned her head away and didn't look at him. His frequent appearances had already affected her. If this could force him away, she wouldn't mind giving it a try. "Go away, and don't come again."
Her words clearly meant that she admitted that she hated him. Coupled with her order to leave, Wu Cheng suddenly realized that she really didn't want to see him and was resisting him from the inside out.
Is that actor really that good? She wouldn't let him get close to her, avoided him, and even started to hate him.
Thinking of this possibility, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. He stared at her profile, hoping that she would say something to keep him.
But it didn't.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Liao Qian glanced towards the door. Could it be Lily, or another uninvited guest?
She glanced at Wu Cheng who was standing there motionless and said, "Go inside."
No matter who it is, it's not a good idea to see a man in her room at this time.
She went over to look at the surveillance camera on the door and saw that it was Fang Yi.
Why would he come at this time?
Looking back at Wu Cheng, he was still standing there without moving. Liao Qian signaled him to go to the bathroom.
Wu Cheng caught the worry on her face. Was she worried that the person outside would misunderstand her? Thinking of this possibility, he clenched his fists, exhaled a long breath, and went into the bathroom.
Seeing him go in, Liao Qian finally opened the door. Fang Yi was standing outside. "Xixi, did I disturb you?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing serious. The director said that our scene will start shooting early tomorrow, around six o'clock, which means we have to get up at five o'clock. I came to tell you."
"No problem, I understand."
Fang Yi held up a box for her and said, "This is for you."
Liao Qian lowered her head and took it. "What is this?" She glanced at the words on it and saw that it was a warm baby. "What?"
"It's a bit cold when filming in the morning, so it's warmer if you stick close to me."
Even Liao Qian was surprised by Fang Yi's attentiveness. "Thank you."
"Why are you being so polite to me? Go get some rest. You have to get up tomorrow morning." After saying that, he glanced inside calmly, then turned and left.
Liao Qian watched him leave and then closed the door.
After putting down my things, I saw Wu Cheng coming out of the bathroom.
He obviously heard their conversation, glanced at the box, then calmly looked away. His face was gloomy and he seemed very unhappy.
Liao Qian just thought he was unhappy about what he said just now, and did not continue to talk about it. "It's late, you should go back too."
Wu Cheng stared at her, a reality in his mind that he didn't want to accept. Fang Yi also liked her, and they were in love with each other. Then what was he? What chance did he have?
Do you really want to be a third party who interferes with other people's relationships?
The expression on his face gradually faded, and the gloom between his brows could not be dispelled. Finally, he glanced at the person who just wanted to drive him away.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel suffocated. "Then... I'm leaving... You... take care of yourself in the future."
After saying that, he walked to the door and paused for a second, as if he wanted to look back, or wait for her to speak, but after only a moment, he opened the door and left.
The moment the door closed, Liao Qian's body stiffened and she slowly squatted down, hugging her knees, knowing in her heart that he would not come again.
It's better this way. There's really no need to talk about being friends. Since he doesn't mean that, we should just break up completely.
She is no longer the Liao Qian who was willing to guard him wholeheartedly. She wants to let herself go.
I also don’t want to spend countless long and silent nights alone savoring the bitterness and loneliness after being together.
…
In a blink of an eye, Wu Cheng did not show up during the three months she was filming.
Life has returned to normal. For her, she is too busy to think about those things. Maybe she is suitable for such high intensity, which makes her feel fulfilled.
After leaving the crew, she has to prepare for the next crew member, and she has many activities to participate in during this period.
Seeing that she had been busy like a top recently, Sister Qiao couldn't help but ask after returning to the apartment, "Xixi, don't you want to take a few days off? I can give you a few days off."
"I don't have anything to do, so I don't need to rest."
"Okay, then you should get ready. We're preparing for our next movie. There's a dinner party in a few days. The main actors, investors, directors, and producers will all be there."
Liao Qian paused. The investor...will he come?
She had forgotten that their meeting seemed inevitable due to the cooperation between the two companies.
But it’s nothing, it’s all for work.
"Well, I understand, Sister Qiao."
"Okay, then you should have a good rest."
After saying that, Sister Qiao left.
When Liao Qian opened her phone, she saw a message from Fang Yi: "Xixi, we agreed to have dinner together on the day of wrap. When are you free?"
During the filming, Fang Yi had some minor conflicts with the director several times, and she helped to mediate them. Later, he insisted on treating her to a meal to express his gratitude, but he was not free during this period, so it was delayed.
【Let’s go tomorrow. You can choose the place.】
The other side quickly replied, "OK, no problem."
