Chapter 271 Visiting the Film Crew
"Siya, you go back first, I'll explain to you later."
"No need for explanation!" Huo Siya suddenly smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescents. "Mom, I understand!"
"What do you know?" Fang Lanxin had a headache.
"I understand why you've been going out so much lately!" Huo Siya walked over and took Fang Lanxin's hand. "Mom, I support you!"
Fang Lanxin: ? ? ?
"Siya, don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not lying!" Huo Siya looked at Fang Lanxin earnestly. "Mom, you've sacrificed so much for the Huo family your whole life, now it's time to live for yourself."
"No matter who you choose, your brother and I will support you!"
Fang Lanxin was completely speechless.
What is this girl talking about?
Ling Ye understood, and his eyes lit up.
"Miss Siya, I love hearing you say that!"
Huo Siya winked at him.
"Lingye, do your best!"
After saying that, she turned and ran away.
Fang Lanxin and Ling Ye were left alone in the private room.
Fang Lanxin sat back in her chair, leaning back wearily.
"Ah Ye, look, this is what I was worried about."
"What are you worried about?" Ling Ye sat down opposite her. "Worried about what others will think?"
"Madam, Siya already supports you, what are you still worried about?"
Fang Lanxin looked at Ling Ye, unsure of what to say.
This boy always manages to hit her weak spot in the most direct way.
"A-Ye, I need time."
Fang Lanxin finally spoke.
I can't give you an answer right now.
Ling Ye paused for a moment, then smiled.
"Okay, I'll wait."
He stood up, walked up to Fang Lanxin, and reached out to touch her hair.
"Madam, I can wait, but you can't hide from me."
"I……"
"Promise me," Ling Ye's voice was gentle, "Don't avoid me, okay?"
Fang Lanxin looked at Ling Ye and finally nodded.
"good."
Ling Ye smiled, a smile tinged with childlike smugness.
"Let's eat then, the food's getting cold."
The two sat down to eat.
The atmosphere was much more relaxed than before.
Ling Ye kept putting food on Fang Lanxin's plate, muttering to himself.
"Madam, you've lost weight recently, you should eat more."
"These shrimp are good, you should try them."
"And this soup, I specifically had them make it."
Fang Lanxin looked at Ling Ye, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
This boy always manages to warm her heart in the simplest way.
After dinner, Ling Ye took Fang Lanxin home.
The car was parked in front of the villa.
Fang Lanxin unbuckled her seatbelt and prepared to get out of the car.
"Madam," Ling Ye suddenly called out to her.
Fang Lanxin turned her head.
"What's wrong?"
Ling Ye looked at her, his eyes full of seriousness.
"I'll prove it to you."
"I, Ling Ye, am worthy of you."
Fang Lanxin's heart skipped a beat. Without saying a word, she pushed open the car door and got out of the car.
When she got home, Huo Siya and Huo Qibang were waiting for her in the living room.
"Mom!" Huo Siya saw her and immediately ran over. "Tell me quickly, what happened?"
Fang Lanxin took off her coat.
"It's nothing."
"Nothing's wrong?" Huo Siya's eyes widened. "I saw Ling Ye kneeling on the ground confessing his love to you today!"
Kenneth Fok suddenly stood up.
"What?!"
Fang Lanxin held her forehead.
It's over.
Huo Qibang walked over, his face looking rather grim.
"Mom, that Ling Ye..."
"Qibang, stop asking," Fang Lanxin interrupted him. "I'll handle this."
"But Mother..."
"I'm tired, I want to rest." Fang Lanxin turned and walked upstairs. "You guys should go to bed early too."
Huo Qibang and Huo Siya exchanged a glance.
"Brother, do you think Mom might really..." Huo Siya asked softly.
"Shut up." Huo Qibang's face darkened even more.
Fang Lanxin returned to her room and lay down on the bed.
My mind is a mess.
Ling Ye's confession, Huo Siya's support, and Huo Qibang's ugly face...
She suddenly realized that this life was far more complicated than her previous one.
My phone rang.
Fang Lanxin picked it up and saw it was Lu Chen.
"Sister Fang, are you free tomorrow? I'd like to invite you to visit the set."
Fang Lanxin looked at the text message, hesitated for a moment, and replied, "Okay."
Fang Lanxin put down her phone and closed her eyes.
Tomorrow will be another busy day.
The next morning, after finishing her work at the company, Fang Lanxin rushed to Lu Chen's film set at noon.
The film crew was in a film studio in the suburbs.
When Fang Lanxin arrived, Lu Shen was filming.
She stood behind the monitor, watching Lu Chen on the screen.
He was performing a crying scene today.
In the footage, Lu Chen's tears come easily, his emotions are full yet restrained.
"Cut!" The director called "cut," nodding in satisfaction. "Very good, Lu Chen, that's a good take."
Lu Chen snapped out of his emotions and turned around to see Fang Lanxin standing behind the monitor.
He paused for a moment, then laughed.
That smile held a touch of childlike joy.
"Sister Fang!"
Lu Chen ran over, ignoring the tears still on his face.
"You've come!"
Fang Lanxin took out a tissue and wiped away his tears.
"Yes, I just came to see you."
Lu Chen stood obediently, letting Fang Lanxin wipe his face.
The surrounding staff were all stunned.
They had never seen Lu Chen so obedient.
You should know that Lu Chen is known for being aloof and cold in the industry.
Aside from work-related matters, he never speaks a word more than necessary to anyone.
But now...
Everyone looked at Fang Lanxin with curiosity in their eyes.
Who exactly is this woman?
"Sister Fang, I still have a scene to film." Lu Chen held Fang Lanxin's hand. "Wait for me a little while, okay?"
"good."
Lu Chen then let go of her hand and turned back to the filming location.
Fang Lanxin sat down in the rest area.
Lu Chen's assistant brought over a cup of tea.
"Miss Fang, please have some tea."
Fang Lanxin took the teacup.
"Thanks."
The assistant glanced at Fang Lanxin, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
"Say what you have to say." Fang Lanxin took a sip of tea.
The assistant hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Miss Fang, Lu Chen... he's been doing much better lately."
Fang Lanxin looked up at her assistant.
"He used to suffer from insomnia and would suddenly have emotional breakdowns," the assistant said softly. "But since he met you, he seems to have changed."
"Ms. Fang, thank you."
Fang Lanxin remained silent for a while.
"He just needs someone to care about him."
"No." The assistant shook his head. "It's not concern, it's redemption."
"Lu Chen...he relies on you a lot."
Fang Lanxin felt a surge of indescribable emotion.
She looked towards the filming location.
In the scene on camera, Lu Chen is acting out an intense scene with his opponent.
He has a strong capacity for emotional outbursts; every expression and every movement is perfectly timed.
But Fang Lanxin saw a deep-seated vulnerability in his eyes.
Two hours later, Lu Chen finished filming all his scenes.
He changed into casual clothes and left the film crew with Fang Lanxin.
"Sister Fang, I've made a reservation at a restaurant. Let's go eat."
"good."
