Pear Soft: ...Today is another day of envying my friends.
Before going to sleep, Li Ruan didn't forget to report her itinerary to her sugar daddy. At that time, Xi Leng was on a plane to F Continent and didn't see the message until he landed.
But he didn't have a chance to reply to the message because he sensed something was wrong with the airport as soon as he got off the plane.
Things are chaotic in Africa. The subordinates who came to pick us up had an accident on the way, but fortunately they still made it before the plane landed.
"President, we have to leave immediately. Your itinerary may have been leaked. We were attacked on the way, but Fourth Brother led some men and lured them away."
Once inside the bulletproof SUV, Lan Yun quickly explained the situation.
A ruthless glint flashed in Xi Leng's eyes. He took off his suit jacket and tossed it aside, then picked up his phone to check the navigation. "If they dare to come, then don't go back. Lead them here."
Lan Yun glanced at it and said, "Okay." Then she took out her phone and gave the order.
They had experienced this kind of scene far too many times, so Lan Yun was used to it. In business, the more you earn, the greater the risk; effort and reward are always proportional.
The car had already left the airport when, less than two minutes later, several other vehicles caught up from behind. With a bang, their car was hit by a bullet. Although the rear window didn't shatter, it certainly wouldn't last long.
The cars on the road were so frightened by the gunfight that they wanted to get as far away as possible, and soon the area around them became quiet.
"Turn left ahead and clear the cars behind. I want to see who's so eager to kill me!"
Upon hearing the instruction, the driver immediately turned the steering wheel and exited through the exit ahead.
The ambush lasted for nearly an hour, until Xi Leng led them into a pre-arranged trap.
"Kill them all."
Standing in the shadows, Xi Leng calmly watched his men drag the assassins out of the car one by one and then send them on their way.
These people are all professional assassins; they are merely executors of a mission. As for who the buyer is, they have no idea. Interrogating them is pointless, and asking them questions is futile.
It would be better to just send them on their way, otherwise we'd have to waste food feeding them.
He took the wet wipe from Lan Yun and wiped his ten fingers clean one by one. Strangely, he didn't feel any discomfort this time. In fact, he even thought of Li Ruan. If that woman knew what he had just experienced, would she be too scared to stay by his side?
Maybe?
After all, even his own mother had distanced herself from him.
Besides, she was just his kept mistress; once the contract expired, they would have no further connection.
At this moment, he was even somewhat relieved that he had money; otherwise, they might never have had any interaction!
He casually tossed away the used wet wipes, calmly put on the coat handed to him by his subordinate, and then got into his car and left.
The next day, Li Ruan arrived at the "Immortal Demon Tribulation" set early. Director Ming's assistant had been instructed in advance to take her aside and whisper to her as soon as she arrived, "After you finish your makeup, we will start filming the first scene of the day. Because we have already filmed most of the scenes, the scenes that have been filmed before have to be cut and reshot. So we will be rushing to film your scenes these next few days. Ms. Li, thank you for your hard work."
Li Ruan: "Isn't it my duty to do things for money? It's not hard work at all!"
After observing Li Ruan's expression, Assistant Zhang reminded her, "Director Ming asked me to tell you that the person you'll have the most scenes with in this film is Actor Xu. He's a..." The assistant reorganized her words in her mind, "Actor Xu has misogyny, and he especially dislikes any touching outside of filming. If anyone crosses that line, Actor Xu becomes very scary. So, Ms. Li, do you understand what I mean?"
Li Ruan had previously researched the entire cast of the drama. The female lead was the award-winning actress Shu Fenghua. She had very few scandals and had been married three years ago to a member of the wealthy Xiang family in S City.
However, the marriage only lasted a year before it ended, after she gave birth to a daughter, who is now being raised by her.
This is her comeback project after giving birth. There seems to be some kind of relationship between her and Xu Chansheng, but I can't find the specifics online.
She only made a brief introduction to her temporary colleagues and naturally didn't investigate in detail.
As for this great actor Xu, he's truly amazing.
He has won three Golden Horse Awards and Cannes Film Festival awards, and has won countless other awards. He is also an overseas Chinese from Country S, and his father is the richest man in Country S. He is a true second-generation rich kid. It's not that he didn't want to go back to inherit trillions of dollars by not making movies. Rather, he had already taken over the family business, and he only took on this movie to repay a favor.
His fans speculated that he might retire from the entertainment industry after taking on this role.
That's right, Li Ruan successfully infiltrated Xu Yingdi's big fan group. There was no other way; Xu Yingdi's fan leaders were all rich people who would give out red envelopes all the time. She really couldn't resist the temptation of red envelopes, so she became a fake fan of Xu Yingdi!
Therefore, I also learned a lot of gossip about Actor Xu.
This man appears to be radiant, gentle, and kind, but in reality, he's incredibly fussy, a clean freak, misogynistic, a picky eater, and reportedly suffers from claustrophobia...
In the past, many female celebrities, unaware of the danger, tried to gain attention from Actor Xu. Unfortunately, once they angered him, those female celebrities either left the entertainment industry or were blacklisted, and none of them had a good ending.
Therefore, Li Ruan has made up her mind that, apart from filming, she will stay far away from this movie star.
Li Ruan nodded: "I understand. Don't worry, I definitely won't go near Actor Xu."
Assistant Zhang was satisfied. Just then, his phone rang. He pointed towards the dressing room and said, "Do you know which scene we're filming today? Hurry up and change your clothes, then go to the makeup room to put on makeup. Be quick, don't keep Actor Xu waiting."
The first scene today was with the male lead. Xu Chansheng is indeed a busy man, but he is also very dedicated. It is said that in all his years in the industry, he has never been arrogant or late. So Xu Chansheng has already arrived and is probably getting his makeup done right now.
After Assistant Zhang finished speaking, he left. Li Ruan went to the dressing room by herself. She pushed open the door and saw that the outer room was full of men's costumes. She thought that her costume was inside, so she walked over to the room through the curtain. But as soon as she lifted the curtain, she froze on the spot.
The morning light streamed in through the window, and one beam shone on a chair in the middle of the changing room.
Sitting in that chair was a man, an extremely handsome man with a high nose bridge, sexy lips, and especially his eyes that seemed to be naturally affectionate, easily drawing people into them unconsciously. Yet, his temperament was extremely cold. This contradictory nature made people both love and fear him, attracted to him but not daring to get close.
I really don't dare to get close to Li Ruan!
Because none of the above is the main point. The main point is that this man is currently half-naked!
