Ye Yunting's deep, cold eyes met Shen Yanqing's, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
The young girl taking pictures nearby sensed the tense atmosphere, packed up her phone and quickly left. After taking a couple of steps, she turned back to look at Ye Yunting with a puzzled expression. Why did this person look so familiar?
Shen Yanqing gently squeezed Gu Baiwei's hand: "Weiwei, go back and wait for me. I'll be done soon."
Gu Baiwei nodded, and the moment she looked up, she met Ye Yunting's deep eyes.
Ye Yunting pursed his lips as he watched the two's intimate actions, his clenched fist making a soft cracking sound as he exerted force.
She had once looked at him with those clear, gentle eyes, but now, when those eyes looked at him, there was not a trace of the warmth they once held.
At this moment, Ye Yunting clearly realized what he had missed.
In his past life, he thought that as long as he worked hard to make the Ye family bigger and stronger, his life would be complete. It wasn't until he saw her fall off the cliff with an empty expression that he realized he didn't want anything except her.
A gentle breeze blew in through the open window, ruffling the wisps of hair on Gu Baiwei's forehead. The soft strands of hair swayed gently against her cheeks, making her face feel ticklish.
Shen Yanqing lowered his eyes, his dark eyelashes drooping, and his long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles gently smoothed her wind-blown hair. As their eyes met, Gu Baiwei's soft lips curved into a faint smile.
The handsome man and beautiful woman gazed sweetly at each other, sunlight streaming in from the window bathing them in a beautiful scene, like a picturesque painting. However, Ye Yunting's eyes seemed to be burned by this painting, and he pursed his lips and looked away.
"good."
Gu Baiwei withdrew her hand and walked past Ye Yunting.
The familiar, delicate floral scent wafted into his nose and mouth, and Ye Yunting's heart stirred slightly. He subconsciously followed that charming figure.
His dark hair was gently blown by the wind. He subconsciously reached out his hand, and the strands of hair brushed against his fingertips, just like their lost love. Some things, once lost, may never be regained.
As he watched that slender figure disappear from sight, Ye Yunting felt his eyes inexplicably burn. He might really be unable to keep her any longer.
When Gu Baiwei returned to the private room, the atmosphere inside was unusually strange.
The air conditioning was already on full blast, but President Chen was still frantically wiping the sweat from his forehead. Gu Baiwei was really afraid that he would wipe away all the few remaining strands of his precious hair.
When Su Peipei saw her come in, she snorted coldly and continued to act arrogantly.
Su Muqing raised her eyes slightly, silently picked up the teacup in front of her, and drank some water.
"Weiwei, what's going on with those two? They seem to be treating you..."
Du Qingyan carefully tugged at her hand, her face full of gossip.
Before Gu Baiwei could speak, Su Peipei gave a mocking laugh: "Tsk, some people are really shameless, hooking up with one after another, they're really bringing shame to our crew."
Before Gu Baiwei could speak, Director Chen rebuked her, "What nonsense are you talking about! How dare you discuss those two so casually?"
After saying that, the usually serious Director Chen looked at Gu Baiwei with a big smile: "Little Gu..."
Director Chen's face was all wrinkled from smiling. The man who usually had a serious expression welded onto his face was now smiling radiantly.
It's quite scary.
"Director Chen, if you have something to say, just say it. Can we stop laughing?"
Gu Baiwei shrank her neck, feeling a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason.
"Little Gu, I might be a bit harsh sometimes, but you're a magnanimous person, so please don't hold it against me. How about I punish myself by drinking three cups as an apology?"
After Director Chen finished speaking, he immediately picked up the liquor next to him, poured himself a glass, and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing that he was about to pour himself a second glass, Gu Baiwei hurriedly stopped him: "Director Chen, please don't drink anymore. The two investors haven't returned yet. If you get drunk, who will keep you company? You've always taken good care of me on set, and I'm so grateful to you..."
Although Director Chen is a strict person and has scolded her a few times, she is much luckier than the others in the crew.
Apart from Shen Xuan, no one in the crew had escaped being scolded by Director Chen.
Many young actors are often subjected to harsh criticism.
She was scolded twice, but there were no problems after that. Director Chen has always treated her quite well.
"Alright, Xiao Gu, I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
Director Chen looked pleased. At this moment, Shen Yanqing and Ye Yunting walked in side by side from outside the door. The two seemed to be competing with each other, insisting on entering the door together.
The door was so narrow that it was quite difficult for two people to squeeze in.
In the end, Boss Shen won by a hair's breadth and squeezed into the room first.
Behind him, Ye Yunting, his face dark, lifted his foot and sat back in his seat, watching helplessly as Shen Yanqing sat down directly next to Gu Baiwei without any hesitation.
Sitting on the other side of Gu Baiwei, Du Qingyan felt the powerful pressure around her and unconsciously straightened her back, like an outstanding student preparing for an inspection.
Director Chen stood up with a smile, trying to ignore the two cold gazes at the table, and forced a smile: "Well, I'll have a drink first, thank you President Chen and President Ye for coming."
As soon as he finished speaking, he tilted his head back and downed the whole thing in one gulp with great bravado, only to find the room quiet.
The door opened, and Shen Xuan, wearing a white T-shirt and ripped jeans, walked in with a nonchalant air.
"I'm sorry, Director Chen, I had something come up and I'm late."
He spoke with a smile, but when his gaze met Shen Yanqing's deep eyes, the smile on his face slowly froze.
"Xiao Shen, I'm not trying to be mean, but you have absolutely no sense of time..."
Director Chen frowned in displeasure. Before he could finish speaking, Shen Xuan, who had just arrived, walked up to Shen Yanqing with a blank expression and greeted him with a gentle smile: "Brother."
Director Chen almost bit his tongue. He changed his tone and said, "Traffic jams during rush hour are understandable, understandable, haha. Hurry up and sit down, we've been waiting for you."
He picked up his glass and drank another glass as a cover-up, feeling extremely depressed. Everyone in this film crew was a big shot, and he couldn't afford to offend any of them.
It seems that in the future, before I start cursing someone, I should first find out what kind of connections they have. Otherwise, if I offend some important person's relative, I might not even know how they died.
Shen Yanqing glanced at Shen Xuan indifferently, then poured Gu Baiwei a glass of water and pushed it in front of her: "The water temperature is just right."
Shen Xuan, who was standing next to him, glanced over and his gaze fell on the cup of water. His deep eyes grew even darker. He took a big gulp of the teacup and put it down expressionlessly.
Ye Yunting watched the interaction between the two, paused, pursed his lips, and looked away, causing the atmosphere at the table to become tense again.
Director Chen swallowed hard. Why did it suddenly feel chilly around him? Was the air conditioning too cold?
When Su Peipei saw Shen Yanqing, she recalled their previous meeting, her face paled, and she immediately lowered her head. This man was dangerous and not someone she could afford to offend.
At the same time, she was secretly gritting her teeth. Why was this vixen so lucky? One after another, they were all fawning over her? What did she have besides her face?
