☆, Chapter 116 Rose
Director Lin was quite surprised to see the two of them together. "Congxu, you're here too. I just asked my assistant to look for you, but he couldn't find you."
"I just came here. I took a call in the changing room in the lounge and talked for a long time." Lu Congxu explained, holding Wen Mianyu's hand all the time without letting go.
The two of them held hands with their fingers intertwined, as if no one was around, which made the people opposite them look strange. The first one to notice was Chen Yaoqing who was in front.
Chen Yaoqing glanced at Wen Mianyu again, then at Lu Congxu, who looked calm. He turned to Director Lin with a smile and said, "Look, the atmosphere on your set is so great. The two leads have such a good relationship and are so dedicated to their work. They even held hands after the scene to reconnect."
His seemingly sarcastic remark, like a half-true and half-false joke, gave everyone who was originally confused a suitable excuse.
Yes, the two leading actors usually have a good relationship, so they should be looking for a sense of drama, right?
Wang Xin didn't care whether this was the case or not. He habitually followed Chen Yaoqing's words and said, "We all have very good relationships on the crew. The actors are good at acting and are very dedicated. We usually get along very well, right, A-Lin?"
"Ah, yes." Director Lin agreed.
Chen Yaoqing took a step forward, extended his hand to Wen Mianyu, and said with a smile, "Miss Su, we meet again."
"Mr. Chen." Wen Mianyu lightly extended his hand forward, and then immediately pulled his hand back without waiting for Chen Yaoqing to react.
Its speed is as fast as an afterimage.
Chen Yaoqing had originally wanted to try to get some leeway by shaking hands, but he didn't even manage to hold her fingertips. His expression changed slightly, "Miss Su's reaction speed is quite fast. It's a shame she didn't learn martial arts."
"I've practiced Taekwondo, boxing, and martial arts, and I'm pretty good at it. Although I'm not as good as the great players who can participate in the competition, it's not a pity." Wen Mianyu said calmly.
Chen Yaoqing took a deep breath and forced a smile, "No wonder Miss Su has such a good figure, it turns out it's because she exercises regularly."
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Chen." Wen Mianyu stood firmly shoulder to shoulder with Lu Congxu, with no intention of moving forward at all.
Chen Yaoqing couldn't reach them, and there was no way he could force his way in between the two of them. Even though he was very unhappy, he couldn't show it in front of so many people, so he had to give up.
The sun was rising and the sunlight was scorching. The temperature in the film and television city was generally high. Standing outdoors without any shade, Chen Yaoqing, wearing a suit, felt hotter than others, and a layer of sweat beads appeared on his forehead.
Wang Xin was the most considerate and quickly handed over the wet wipes, "Mr. Chen..."
Chen Yaoqing took the tissue, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "I don't have anything to do. I just came to see how your filming was going. I remember hearing that there was a new lead actress, a young lady. Isn't she here?"
"Mr. Chen, you are talking about Yuxuan, right? Her scene will start in two days, and she will come the day after tomorrow." Wang Xin replied.
"Oh, my little daughter likes Yuxuan very much. I was thinking of taking a photo with her and showing it to her." Chen Yaoqing handed the used tissue to his assistant and straightened the collar of his shirt.
Wen Mianyu and Lu Congxu looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.
Is it possible that this pervert Chen Yaoqing has his eyes on Lu Yuxuan again?
"Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work. I have plans later and have to go back." Chen Yaoqing turned around.
The people around him hurriedly followed, and Wang Xin walked to Chen Yaoqing's side in a servile manner.
"Actor Lu and I still have a lot of lines to memorize, so I won't see Mr. Chen off." Wen Mianyu said perfunctorily.
Chen Yaoqing didn't respond to her and walked away quickly.
…
Chen Yaoqing came to the crew this time, saying that he was visiting the set, but in fact he wanted to take advantage of the popularity of the visit to calm down the previous influence of Yao Xin.
Although Yao Xin went abroad, rumors about him and Yao Xin's affair were still active in the circle, including the pretty boy who made him hate him so much, who also became a topic of conversation.
In order to disgust him, a business rival signed the gigolo that Yao Xin once kept despite his ban. Chen Yaoqing was really furious when he heard the news, so he wanted to use this visit to the set to find a new person for himself.
With a newcomer, a newcomer who is better than Yao Xin in every aspect, people in the circle will gradually forget about Yao Xin and focus on his new love.
Chen Yaoqing has as many women as he wants like this, but compared to the women who used to climb into his bed with just one word, he also wants to find someone new, like Su Moli.
She is pure and beautiful, has a good figure, and most importantly, has personality. She doesn't succumb to flattery just because of a word he says. She is a very challenging newcomer.
"It's just too challenging, otherwise Mr. Chen wouldn't have come all the way here and returned empty-handed." Ye Qian'an leaned against the car window, a half-smile on the corner of his lips.
The two came here together today and had a meeting to attend together later. Because Ye Qianan was recently embroiled in scandals and didn't want to appear in public, he didn't get out of the car before.
When Chen Yaoqing returned to the car, he looked unhappy. Ye Qianan guessed that he had hit a wall and couldn't help teasing him.
Chen Yaoqing was a little unhappy at first, but he smiled when he heard this. "What do you know? This is called interest. What's the point of always beckoning a woman to come close? I want this kind of reluctant tone. It's more fun when I really play with her."
"I'm afraid that if he's too reluctant, Mr. Chen won't be able to get it. Then all the time and effort will be wasted." Ye Qianan pointed at the car window with his fingertips.
The relationship between the two is not just that of buddies playing together, but rather that of partners with shared interests. Ye Qianan does not have to act like a grandson like Wang Xin and can make any joke.
Chen Yaoqing sneered, "Is there any woman in this world that I, Chen Yaoqing, can't get? That's because I'm not in a hurry. If I really spend some money on her, she'll be willing to sleep with me in no time."
"Mr. Chen is so confident, how about we make a bet?" Ye Qianan raised his eyebrows.
"What are you betting on? Are you betting on when I can get Su Moli?" Chen Yaoqing asked.
"No, I can set no time limit and just bet on whether Su Moli will volunteer in the end." Ye Qianan said.
"That's not that difficult." Chen Yaoqing smiled nonchalantly. "If you set a time limit, I might still be too busy to take care of her. If you don't set a time limit, it's only a matter of time before I get to know her. Just wait and see. It won't take more than two or three months..."
"Okay, then we'll follow Mr. Chen's schedule." Ye Qian'an interrupted him and said, "If Mr. Chen still hasn't gotten Su Moli by the time Chengnan's special approval comes through, how about I give him two percentage points of the land price?"
Tens of millions was just a small amount of money to Chen Yaoqing, so he immediately said, "Okay."
"That's settled then. Mr. Chen, you must accept defeat when the time comes." Ye Qianan said.
"It's still unclear who will lose." Chen Yaoqing was quite confident about this. "What if you lose?"
"It's still two percentage points." Ye Qianan replied.
"It's a deal." Chen Yaoqing said.
The driver in front started the car, and the car slowly moved forward, leaving the busy crew outside behind.
Ye Qianan lowered the car window a little to let the wind outside blow in. From the reflection in the car window, he could see Chen Yaoqing standing beside him, looking confident.
It’s hard to say whether it’s fortunate or unfortunate for a woman to be favored by Chen Yaoqing, but Ye Qianan knows clearly that Su Moli would definitely not agree.
In making this bet with Chen Yaoqing, in addition to being confident that he could win, Ye Qianan also wanted to create a sense of urgency in Chen Yaoqing and make him pay more attention to Su Moli.
Any refusal by Su Moli would annoy Chen Yaoqing, and when that happens he would be suppressed and banned, which would be a good opportunity for her to have some peace and quiet.
Ye Qianan really hated Su Moli. That woman's behavior these days made him angry. He couldn't deal with Lu Congxu for the time being, so could he not deal with a newcomer?
Ye Qianan felt that there was no better way than to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
…
After Chen Yaoqing left, Director Lin immediately started filming, and Wen Mianyu finally relaxed.
After a whole day of intense filming, Wen Mianyu finished her role earlier than Lu Congxu in the evening.
Lu Congxu asked Cheng An to take her back first.
Wen Mianyu refused immediately, "I'd better wait for you here. Aren't you almost done filming? There's nothing important for me to do when I go back."
"Director Lin has added a scene temporarily, so it may take two hours. Go back and take a shower, then have a good rest." Lu Congxu took off the cooling patch on his forehead and threw it into the trash can.
"Two hours is not a long time. I can sit here and watch some videos." Wen Mianyu did not get up.
Lu Congxu couldn't do anything about her, so he could only say, "I can't concentrate with you here."
"Is it that exaggerated?" Wen Mianyu laughed.
"Yes." Lu Congxu looked at her seriously, his dark eyes looking straight into her heart. "Knowing you're waiting for me here, I can't help but want to see you all the time. Then the NG won't last for two hours."
“…” Wen Mianyu was speechless.
She found that Lu Congxu was a really annoying man. He always said words like love words inadvertently, and said them very seriously, as if they were just casual remarks.
It is this contrast that gives people an irresistible charm, and Wen Mianyu feels numb in her heart.
Her eyes flickered, then she lowered them silently, her tone lowering, "Well, okay."
"Be good." Lu Congxu pinched her fingertips.
Wen Mianyu took a deep breath and stood up, "Then I'll leave."
"You don't have to send me off!" she added immediately.
Just then, Director Lin called Lu Congxu to start filming. Lu Congxu paused and put his hand on her shoulder, "Cheng An is waiting for you outside."
"Yeah." Wen Mianyu responded.
…
After leaving the set, Wen Mianyu saw the familiar nanny car parking in the doorway.
Cheng An lowered the car window and waved at her, "Here."
Wen Mianyu walked over and didn't rush to get in the car. Instead, she said, "It's such a short distance, I can walk back. Otherwise, you can wait here to pick up Congxu, and I'll walk back."
"No, Brother Lu asked me to send you off. If you leave alone, I will be breaking my promise. Besides, there are things waiting for you at home..." Cheng An stopped speaking halfway.
"What's waiting for me at home?" Wen Mianyu asked puzzledly.
"It's... nothing." Cheng An turned his head away. "Hurry up and get in the car. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Although Wen Mianyu thought he was weird, because Cheng An still had a prejudice against her, she didn't tease this loyal assistant much and didn't ask any further questions.
I'm really afraid of asking too many questions.
Anyway, if there is anything, I will see it when I get back.
Wen Mianyu thought so and wondered if Lu Yuxuan had come early. However, when she returned to her residence ten minutes later, she was really shocked.
The room was filled with the fragrance of flowers, as if entering a greenhouse. The huge living room was filled with bright red roses.
The flowers, one bunch next to another, covered the entire living room like a carpet of flowers, and the visual effect was amazing.
Wen Mianyu was completely stunned. She had seen grand scenes since she was a child. The crews would often arrange luxurious scenes during filming, but none of them was like what she saw before her.
She was surprised and at a loss.
"These..." Wen Mianyu turned around confusedly and looked at Cheng An behind him, "Where did they come from?"
"Where else could it have come from? Of course Brother Lu bought it for you!" Cheng An hated Xin's incompetent look. "Who else would be so kind to you except Brother Lu? Could it be a gift from someone else if it's at home?"
"No, that's not what I meant..." Wen Mianyu shook her head, still a little dazed, "I just didn't expect...why would he suddenly buy so many flowers?"
"Romantic, why else? Why are you so unromantic!" Cheng An stomped his feet.
Wen Mianyu was at a loss for words, wondering if Lu Congxu was a romantic person.
At least not before.
Lu Congxu doesn't like flowers and occasionally suffers from pollen allergies. In the past, his family didn't grow flowers, only bonsai.
I suddenly have so many flowers at home, so I don’t have to worry about them suffocating when I get home later.
Wen Mianyu had already dealt with the bouquet that Chen Yaoqing sent today.
Wait... Chen Yaoqing...
Wen Mianyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized something. She asked Cheng An, "Did you buy these flowers for him? Did he tell you anything? For example, why did he give me these flowers?"
"I didn't say anything. Is there any need to say this? Don't you say you don't understand what the rose represents? Or are you playing hard to get?" Cheng An became alert and stared at her. "You'd better not use those tricks. Brother Lu is very smart!"
Wen Mianyu was helpless and said, "If you didn't say it, then don't say it. You've worked hard today. The flowers are very beautiful."
Needless to say, she could guess the reason.
"You should thank Brother Lu." Cheng An said, "I'm going back to the set. Don't run around. Wait for Brother Lu to come back home."
…
After Cheng An left, Wen Mianyu was worried about what to do with the roses in the room.
Under normal circumstances, she is not actually a person who loves flowers. She thinks that these things are not only not very beautiful, but also easy to wither.
Wen Mianyu threw the bouquet of flowers that Chen Yaoqing had given her into the trash can as soon as she got out of the car, without even bothering Cheng An.
But now that it was Lu Congxu who gave her the flowers, she felt that these flowers, which were originally nothing special, had become beautiful.
Each red rose is very fresh, with dewdrops on the petals, and the fragrance is light and not pungent.
It would be such a pity to let such a beautiful flower wither.
This was the first special gift Lu Congxu gave her, and Wen Mianyu felt that she should keep it properly.
But how to collect it?
I'm afraid there's no other way except making them into dried flowers, but it's a big project to dry so many of them. The stamens will rot easily, so it's easier to make them into dried petals.
Wen Mianyu made up his mind and took out his mobile phone to search the Internet for methods of making dried flowers.
