Chapter 451: Chapter 451
"Ahhh, my Lu Shen’s aloof persona has totally collapsed! What’s this about a CEO handing out drumsticks?"
"Even when he’s unkempt, he’s still so handsome that it makes it hard to keep my legs together."
"But, who was Lord Lu staring at? Could it be the little sidekick?"
"Highly possible! The photo was taken by the little sidekick and even posted by him. If it’s not him, then who else?"
"Scandal! Absolutely a scandal!"
"This is more than just a scandal, okay? It’s solid evidence, solid evidence! I totally ship the little sidekick with Lu Shen."
"Shipping the little sidekick with Lu Shen +1."
"Now, I officially declare—the little sidekick is Lu Shen’s official CP, the one true pairing. Anyone who ships a different CP is going against me."
"Wow, bold claim there. But what about President Qin?"
"President Qin is mine!"
It took them only one month—a single month—to finish filming twenty episodes. The efficiency was jaw-dropping!
It was the last day. After a month of intense "training," the four CEOs—or rather, the five CEOs—along with the naïve and sweet Hua Tiantian, and the two guest stars Xu Jiaojiao and Lin Xiaoxiao, were all present.
Qin Miaomiao sat in front of the camera, her expression very serious.
On set, she was the queen; no one dared question her authority.
As for Lu Qing—well, he was just a guest star. He could hold it in for a bit. After all, when this month-long wait was over, there would be...
Three days, three nights.
"Alright, this is the final scene. Let’s wrap it up with one perfect take."
But while the goal was ideal, reality had its own sense of humor.
"Cut! Meng Yan, your expression is off, redo it."
"Yan Lv, your reaction’s wrong, do it again!"
"Xu Jiaojiao, you’re not crying hard enough! Don’t worry about what you look like—cry! Cry so hard that your snot flows, got it?"
"Song Li, you’re doing well."
They were used to it by now. Anyway, they all knew about the director’s blatant favoritism. She criticized everyone, but she was always especially gentle with Song Li!
Song Li, on the other hand, felt immense pressure. What could he do about the director’s kindness? Once the cameras stopped rolling, he’d get grilled so hard he’d question his entire existence.
Director—or rather, sister-in-law—please, I’m begging you, don’t treat me so nicely, okay?
The scene took thirty takes to get right. Finally, it was done, and everyone collapsed from exhaustion. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveI★Fire.net
Watching the monitor, Qin Miaomiao’s face finally showed a hint of a smile:
"OK, we’re done. So, big shots, how about we go out and have some fun? My treat!"
As they looked at her pure and innocent smile, the excruciating memories of being squeezed dry resurfaced in their minds.
Nightmare. Absolute nightmare.
"I’m heading home. Anyone else?"
"Home, home, home. I’m going there now, and I’m sleeping for three days straight."
"Let’s go, let’s go."
Within seconds, everyone had dispersed...
The only one remaining was Lu Qing, standing there watching her, an eerie gleam in his eyes. Qin Miaomiao shivered. Why did she have the feeling she was about to be devoured?
Had she forgotten something important?
Lu Qing walked toward her and suddenly picked her up in his arms.
"Hubby, w-what are you doing?"
"But I’m hungry. How about we grab something to eat first?"
Lu Qing calmly responded, "No need."
His demeanor seemed very composed, but his eyes carried an unsettling intensity, and his body even trembled slightly.
Once they got in the car, Qin Miaomiao belatedly remembered something—something very important, something so mortifying that she could only think of smashing her head against the ground and strangling herself for it!
Her voice quavered as she grabbed his arm pleadingly:
"Uh, hubby, how about we swing by Liyuan first?"
"Then... maybe we could go visit Grandpa?"
"Grandpa’s already asleep."
"I’m so tired... Couldn’t we handle this tomorrow instead?"
