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.

If we were friends, would we need to talk like this?

Unsure of what he meant, Liao Qian didn't want to expose herself first, so she turned her head away from him and said, "Even if we are 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 want to say that I am a public figure and you can always check my updates online."

What she meant was that if he wanted to see her, he could just search on the Internet and there was no need to go through the trouble of meeting her in person. It was really unnecessary and unnecessary 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 a mocking arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. "You are so reluctant to see me, is it because there is someone you like?"

I didn't know why he suddenly said this, and I was afraid that he would discover my deep 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 be a tacit agreement. His expression suddenly turned cold. "You keep rejecting me. Is it all because of him?"

"This has nothing to do with him." Liao Qian didn't want to be misunderstood, and because she was annoyed by him, her voice suddenly became louder, "Can you please stop messing around?"

"Am I being unreasonable?" Wu Cheng let go of her, obviously a little out of breath, his chest heaving up and down, breathing heavily, "You like him, you are protecting him."

Liao Qian closed her eyes, unable to bear it any longer, "Does who I like have anything to do with you? Please tell me."

After these words were spoken, both of them fell silent.

There seemed to be several reckless lines running through the air, invisibly widening the distance between the two people.

After a long while, Wu Cheng smiled sadly, his voice full of sarcasm, "Qianqian, do you hate me so much?"

"I don'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 to leave, 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 so good that she doesn't allow him to get close to her, avoids him as much as possible, and even starts 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 no.

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, "You 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 check the surveillance camera on the door and saw that it was Fang Yi.

Why would he come at this hour?

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 anxiety on her face. Was she worried that the person outside had misunderstood her? Thinking of this possibility, he clenched his fists, exhaled a long breath, and went into the bathroom.

Seeing him go in, Liao Qian opened the door. Fang Yi was standing outside the door. "Xixi, did I disturb you?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing serious. The director said we'll start shooting early tomorrow, around six o'clock, so we have to get up at five. I came to tell you."

"No problem, I got it."

Fang Yi held up a box and handed it to her, "This is for you."

Liao Qian lowered her head and took it. "What is this?" She looked at the words on it and saw that it was "Nuan Bao Bao". "This?"

"It's a bit cold when filming in the morning, so it's warmer to stick close to each other."

Even Liao Qian was surprised by Fang Yi's attentiveness. "Thank you."

"Why are you being so polite to me? Go to bed quickly. 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 had obviously heard their conversation. He glanced at the box and then calmly looked away. His face was gloomy and he seemed very unhappy.

Liao Qian thought he was unhappy with what he said just now, and did not continue to mention 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, that Fang Yi also liked her, they were in love with each other, so what was he, and 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 became gloomy, and the gloom between his brows could not be dissipated. Finally, he glanced at the person who just wanted to chase him away.

As he spoke, he could not help but feel the suffocation in his heart. "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 end it right away.

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 had not appeared 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 time she joins the crew, and she has many activities to participate in during this period.

Seeing that she was busy like a top during this period, 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. The next movie is being prepared. There will be a dinner party in a few days. The main actors will be there, as well as the investors, directors, and producers."

Liao Qian paused. The investor...will he come?

She had forgotten that their meeting seemed inevitable because of the cooperation between the two companies.

But it doesn't matter, it's all for work.

"Yes, 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 the message Fang Yi sent her: "Xixi, we agreed to have dinner together on the final day. When are you free?"

During the filming, Fang Yi and the director had some minor conflicts several times, and she helped to mediate them. Later, he said he would treat her to a meal to express his gratitude, but he was not free during this period, so it was postponed.

【Let’s go tomorrow. You decide the place.】

The other side quickly replied, "OK, no problem."
