Chapter 549 What a Little Fox
At ten o'clock in the morning, when Lu Jie was awakened by the sun, the hangover headache was still lingering.
He walked out of the bedroom barefoot and glanced at the next room out of habit, only to find that the door was ajar.
He raised an eyebrow and rubbed his head.
The moment he pushed open the door, the lazy smile on his face froze.
The bedding on the bed was neatly laid out, and nothing in the room had been moved, except for a pair of disposable slippers that had been used and placed next to the shoe cabinet.
"Where are the people?"
Lu Jie's voice was hoarse from waking up. The waiter who was about to clean the room immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss Fang said she was going for a morning run at around five o'clock this morning and never came back."
Morning jog?
Why is she running around as a pregnant woman?
Lu Jie walked to the window, looked at the winding path in the back mountain, and suddenly laughed softly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"What a little fox! He runs really fast."
He took out his cell phone and dialed a number. His tone was indistinguishable from joy or anger. "Go check Miss Xu's whereabouts, but don't alarm her."
"yes."
In the suite of Kuncheng International Hotel, Fang Li was putting on makeup in front of the mirror.
Wen Yang sat on the sofa, chewing on bread, and said vaguely, "Lu Jie didn't catch up?"
"Probably not."
Fang Li used concealer to cover the dark circles under her eyes. "He didn't come to Kuncheng for nothing. He won't follow me all the time."
She paused, then suddenly turned to look at Wen Yang, "Did Han Xi call you last night?"
Wen Yang pouted and complained, "He just asked where you were. You don't know the tone of his voice... Even though it was just a few words, and it was through the receiver, it almost scared me to death."
Fang Li pursed her lips and smiled.
Wen Yang rolled his eyes. "But luckily, I was smart. I told him you were asleep and didn't tell him about Lu Jie."
Fang Li chuckled softly, "It's okay. Next time, just tell him directly. He'll be worried if he can't find me."
"Yo yo yo, he will be worried~"
Wen Yang awkwardly imitated Fang Li's speech.
Fang Li rolled her eyes at her through the mirror.
Just as she was about to say something, Wen Yang took away her makeup and dragged her out: "You're beautiful enough, stop putting on makeup! Hurry up, hurry up, the opening ceremony starts at 10:30, and we have to call the seniors!"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"
The two rushed to Zhou Yufan's suite and knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered.
"That guy Zhou Yufan must have overslept again."
Wen Yang was angry, "Forget it, he must be feeling uncomfortable after drinking so much last night, let's just leave him alone and go first."
The opening ceremony was held on Ming and Qing Street in Kuncheng Film and Television Base, and the background board with red background and gold characters was already crowded with media.
As Fang Li walked to the sign-in area, she saw Zhou Yufan talking to the assistant director.
Wen Yang's eyes lit up, and he rushed over, pulling Fang Li with him: "Senior! When did you get here? We thought you were sleeping in the hotel!"
When Zhou Yufan saw them, his originally calm expression changed slightly, and he looked away and said, "I just arrived not long ago."
"Then why didn't you call us when you left?"
"Let you guys rest for a while, I'll just come over and take a look."
"Stop it!"
Wen Yang stepped closer with her hands on her hips. "Something's wrong with you. Something's definitely wrong! Tell me! What happened when Jing Sen brought you back last night?"
The staff around him cast curious glances at him. Zhou Yufan frowned slightly and pushed Wen Yang out of the crowd: "Don't guess blindly, there's nothing."
"I don't believe it!"
Wen Yang clung to him like a piece of taffy, "You didn't go back to your room last night, did you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the change on Zhou Yufan's face became more subtle.
Wen Yang looked like he had discovered a shocking secret, staring at him and asking, "I guess I guessed right, Senior! Tell me quickly, what happened last night? Did you sleep with Jingsen again?!"
"Speak properly!"
What do you mean sleeping together again?
When did they sleep...
Zhou Yufan avoided her speechlessly.
Wen Yang happily chased after him.
The two of them chased each other around the set, and Zhou Yufan's suit jacket was yanked askew by her. He could only beg for mercy: "Grandpa, the opening ceremony is about to begin!"
"Then just tell me!"
"Nothing happened, what do you want me to say?"
"I don't believe it!"
"...Believe it or not."
Watching the two people pulling each other, Fang Li leaned against the pillar and shook her head helplessly. Her eyes turned slightly and were attracted by the figure in the center of the stage.
Jingsen was wearing a military green shirt, black pants and short boots, and his hair was cut short. To match his character's personality, his skin was slightly darkened, and he wore a pair of black sunglasses on his high nose bridge. He had changed his usual handsome appearance and had a more tough feel.
Su Jin, who was standing beside him, was wearing a water-green long dress and had short hair cut to her ears. She was talking to the producer with a smile, while Jing Sen just nodded occasionally, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the sandalwood in his hand.
"What are you looking at?"
Wen Yang ran over breathlessly and followed Fang Li's gaze. "Hey, do you think Jing Sen is a little weird today?"
Fang Li frowned: "Indeed, he rarely wears sunglasses in such occasions."
As soon as the voice fell, the host took the microphone and walked onto the stage: "Welcome everyone to the opening ceremony of "The Dream"! First, please welcome the general manager of Xingli Film and Television, representing the production company, and Ms. Fang Li, the original author and editor-in-chief of our drama "The Dream" to the stage to give a speech!"
The spotlight suddenly came on, and Fang Li took a deep breath and walked onto the stage.
She wore an off-white suit and skirt suit today, her long hair tied up in a neat bun. She exuded a strong aura as she stood on the stage: "It's no exaggeration to say that the drama "The Dream" is my child. I am really happy that Xingli Film and Television has the honor to complete this production with you all. I hope to work harmoniously with you all for a long time to come."
There was warm applause from the audience, and Fang Li nodded with a smile.
The host then came on stage again and invited the next speaker to speak.
Everyone on the set was focused on the stage, and no one noticed what was happening outside the studio door.
At the entrance of the set.
Two black cars were driving towards each other at a very fast speed. As the two cars got closer and closer, the sharp sound of the tires rubbing against the ground pierced the harmony of the scene.
"Squeak—"
Two loud bangs exploded almost simultaneously, and the front of the car stopped just three meters away from the studio gate, with less than five centimeters of space left between the bumpers.
The dust stirred up instantly blurred the surrounding space, followed by a long period of dead silence.
Then, the car doors opened almost at the same time, and Han Xi and Lu Jie got out of the car one after another.
Han Xi was wearing a dark grey custom-made suit with his tie tied meticulously. Even though he had just experienced a sudden stop, there was not a speck of dust on his leather shoes.
He raised his eyes to look at the stage, his gaze falling precisely on Fang Li. After seeing her standing at the side of the stage quietly listening to the host's speech, he slowly looked away.
