"If Nuannuan could follow the company's arrangements like other actresses, she would probably be a big star by now!"
"There's nothing we can do, that's just her personality."
"But I quite like it."
Listening to Li Jing's heartfelt words, Li Dongyang gained a general understanding of Xia Nuan's past.
I sat in the back row in silence for a long time.
The adult world is full of difficulties.
Men and women alike are both capable of selling their dignity for fame and money.
However, some people are unwilling to bow down for five pecks of rice.
It is obvious that Xia Nuan is the latter.
One hour later, Li Jing's van exited the highway.
It was already 4:30 pm when we arrived in Hengdian.
In a daze, Xia Nuan stretched.
After catching up on two hours of sleep, Xia Nuan felt much better, and her complexion had returned to normal.
Seeing that she was awake, Li Jing handed Xia Nuan a bottle of mineral water while they were waiting at a traffic light.
She said with some concern, "Why don't you rest a little longer? We still have half an hour to go."
"I have some bad news for you. I received inside information from the company that Ling Yuechan and Xu Xinnian have also come to Hengdian to film promotional videos for their new song's music video."
"It's very close to our film set."
"And the new actor who stole your role will also make a cameo appearance."
"I heard that Su Yipeng personally led the team."
To put it nicely, he personally mentored her; to put it bluntly, he just wanted to sleep with her.
He takes advantage of his high position and power to sleep with any pretty actress he sees.
This behavior is utterly despicable, yet there's nothing we can do about it.
Li Jing told Xia Nuan in advance to give her a heads-up, in case she felt uncomfortable seeing these people.
Xia Nuan took the water and took a small sip.
Her expression was calm and indifferent; she didn't care about Xu Xinnian, a man who only thought with his lower body.
Su Yipeng is a beast who just wants her body.
As for Ling Yuechan, needless to say, she's a complete slut.
Arguing with these people would only lower her standards.
Xia Nuan didn't care about these people; what she cared about was this new actor named You Shuang.
The three people arrived at the designated hotel.
Li Jing parked the car and told Xia Nuan to go upstairs and rest first. She was going to the film set to check out the location so as not to make a fool of herself like last time.
"After we're done, we'll meet at the hotel restaurant."
After getting off the bus, before Xia Nuan could even speak...
Li Dongyang took the luggage from his hands.
Xia Nuan was somewhat puzzled by Li Dongyang's behavior just now.
He used to make excuses when I asked him for help, but today he's offering to help?
He gave Li Dongyang a cold smile and teased, "Did the sun rise in the west today?"
"You actually offered to help me carry my things?"
Li Dongyang replied nonchalantly, "As long as you're not a germaphobe, it's not a big deal if I get it for you often!"
Li Dongyang dragged two suitcases and walked side by side with Xia Nuan.
The two words stuck in his throat were never uttered.
"Speak your mind, or shut up!"
This time, Li Dongyang wasn't angry at Xia Nuan's words. With a smile, he said gently, "Thank you for the short drama."
Xia Nuan smiled and asked, "Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for helping to share it immediately, thank you for helping to boost the data, because of you, my first drama has become a hit."
So thank you.
"You don't look well today because you helped pull data tonight. Sister Jing just told me."
Li Dongyang's gratitude towards Xia Nuan came from the bottom of his heart.
Without Xia Nuan and everyone else, he doesn't know how far this drama would have gone.
Xia Nuan didn't speak, she just stopped walking.
She didn't expect that Li Jing would talk about these things with Li Dongyang in the car.
"No need to thank me, it was for my own sake," Xia Nuan said calmly.
Li Dongyang had known her for a while and had some understanding of her personality.
He continued, "Anyway, thank you. This is my first short drama, and I never expected the numbers to be so good."
"I want you to take me to the mountain to see the night view."
"Huh?" Li Dongyang was taken aback.
He didn't expect Xia Nuan to suddenly say something like that.
Enjoying the night view is easy.
It only takes half an hour to drive there.
Isn't this kind of way of expressing gratitude a bit too cheap?
"Do you want to reconsider?" Li Dongyang asked.
After all, this way of expressing gratitude is too simplistic.
"How about you be my boyfriend for a week?"
"this?"
Xia Nuan guessed that Li Dongyang would hesitate, so she interrupted him, "Never mind, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."
But her tone clearly indicated anger!
His unhappiness was visibly obvious.
Li Dongyang pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Being your boyfriend is not impossible, but I must make it clear that I cannot overstep my bounds in matters outside of my duties."
Hearing this, Xia Nuan smiled, a smile that was somewhat childlike.
But he didn't forget to back down.
"What kind of person do you take me for?"
"I, Xia Nuan, am not at the point where I would just find any man if I was sexually unsatisfied."
"I'll transfer the money to your WeChat account later."
"Huh?" Li Dongyang was caught up in the drama again, completely baffled by this woman's thought process.
She throws money around all the time, does she have a lot of money?
"I'm a little short on cash lately, so I'll give you 5,000 this time."
They spend 5,000 in one go; how are wage earners like them supposed to survive?
In short, this woman must have already spent a lot of money on herself!
No wonder many men say that women's money is easy to earn. Indeed, if they wanted to, they could shower you with money anytime.
"Why don't you agree?"
"I don't need you to do anything, I just need the gimmick of being my boyfriend."
"What are you laughing at?" Xia Nuan looked up and frowned when she saw Li Dongyang's upturned lips.
"No!"
"You must have seen wrong. I wasn't smiling." Li Dongyang quickly suppressed his smile, afraid that Xia Nuan would notice.
"Hmph! Don't think I don't know what you're laughing at." Xia Nuan snorted coldly.
She roughly guessed what Li Dongyang meant when he laughed at her for saying that he didn't need to exert any effort.
I thought to myself, is this kid's mind a little dirty?
Li Dongyang didn't dare to dwell on this issue with Xia Nuan, lest he anger the woman, so he quickly changed the subject, "When will it start?"
"tonight."
Li Dongyang nodded. "You can rest assured that I'll handle things well; I'll definitely make you satisfied."
"But I still want to know, why did you hire me to be your boyfriend?"
"Emptiness? Loneliness?"
Xia Nuan rolled her eyes at Li Dongyang, thinking to herself, "How did this kid become so improper?" and scolded him, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."
Hearing this, Li Dongyang was somewhat displeased. "We have an employer-employee relationship, after all. As the contractor, I have the right to know what needs to be done next."
"What if you want to... that thing? Wouldn't I be at a huge disadvantage if I didn't know the situation?"
"Of course, you don't have to tell me, but you'll have to pay extra."
