Indulging Mrs. Lu

Chapter 535 - 533 What the Hell Are You Up To? ( - s 532 and 533 Combined)

The next day, Xiao Qing went to the film set with dark circles under her eyes.

Seeing Xiao Qing looking sleepy yet afraid to doze off, Gu Li hesitated to speak several times. Eventually, she couldn’t hold back and stepped forward to ask, "Sis Qing, did you suffer from insomnia last night?"

"No."

"Then what was it...?"

Xiao Qing glanced sidelong at her, "Do you have a husband?"

Gu Li was baffled by the question but shook her head nonetheless.

"You’ll understand once you share a room with a husband."

After Xiao Qing finished speaking, Gu Li’s face instantly flushed. Although she and Gu Chen lived in the same house, nothing had happened between them, so...

Rubbing her temples, Xiao Qing looked at Gu Li and stared as if discovering a new continent, "Li, why are you blushing? Don’t tell me you’re secretly married?"

"Of course not."

Fearing she might say something more explosive, Gu Li quickly pulled her toward the makeup room, "The new male lead will arrive soon, and though he’s from outside our circle, I’ve heard he’s quite a big deal."

"Sigh~"

Xiao Qing let out a sigh, feeling since her arrival at Empire, that everyone seemed to be above her, which was rather depressing.

No, she had to figure out a way to terminate her contract with New City soon, then discover the truth from five years ago and return to Emperor.

After half an hour of hustle, her makeup was finally done.

When Xiao Qing and Gu Li arrived at the studio, they saw a crowd gathered around, evidently engaged in something.

"Li, what’s happening over there?"

Gu Li looked in that direction but, with too many people blocking the view, they couldn’t see what was going on inside, so she said, "Wait here for me, I’ll go have a look."

After saying that, Gu Li ran off. She quickly returned and said to Xiao Qing, "I asked around; the new male lead has arrived."

Xiao Qing’s brows lifted slightly; for so many people to surround just one person, like Gu Li said, he must be no small fry.

However...

"Let’s go over."

The crowd dispersed gradually as they saw Xiao Qing approaching. Many looked at her with eyes filled with envy, which Xiao Qing found utterly perplexing.

Yet, when she reached the middle of the crowd and saw the man standing there, she was immediately thrown off.

Not just her, Gu Li standing beside her was also shock-stricken.

They had just guessed the identity of the mysterious outsider of significant standing in the makeup room, thinking of all the significant figures in Empire, but they had never guessed it would be this man.

After exchanging a glance, Xiao Qing and Gu Li were unable to calm down for a long time.

When they had finally calmed down, the man had already begun walking towards them, or more precisely, towards Xiao Qing.

Gu Li’s gaze shifted between the two for a while before she retreated several steps backward, blending into the crowd.

"Hello, Actress Xiao."

Xiao Qing’s eyes suddenly widened in shock. Actress Xiao?

If it weren’t for so many eyes watching, she would’ve been inclined to blurt out: What the hell are you playing at?

Last night, the two of them had shared a bed, tangled up in the sheets for so long. She had even asked him this question, yet this man had not mentioned a word, instead asking all kinds of other things.

Out of everyone’s sight, Xiao Qing glared at him fiercely, mimicking his polite tone, "Hello, may I ask what to call you?"

As soon as she spoke, a wave of gasps went through the crowd.

What did they all hear?

Actress Xiao actually asking the grand CEO Lu of Kairun Group: How may I address you?

Gu Li, standing to the side, also heard the conversation between the two and was even more confused. She knew more than anyone present that these two were legally married.

However, the two people at the center of the filming site were unaffected by those around them, and after exchanging a glance, both the Emperor and Actress Xiao were in character.

"Lu Jinyang."

Xiao Qing smiled faintly, "Hello, Mr. Lu, it’s a pleasure to meet you."

Gu Li: "!!!"

What the heck!

She held her forehead, not knowing what strange thing these two were up to, so she quietly stayed to the side, observing them without a word.

Yet, the scene Gu Li was waiting for didn’t come; because right after Xiao Qing spoke, she turned to the director and said, "Director, we can start now."

The director glanced at Lu Jinyang, and upon seeing him nod, wiped the sweat off his brow and said with a trembling voice, "All staff, please return to your positions, we’re getting ready to shoot~"

When the director first saw CEO Lu at the film set, his initial thought was that Lu was here to invest in a movie, and he was ready to fawn over him. But then he was told that Lu was here to act, and to treat him as normal.

At that moment, his jaw dropped in shock.

The mighty CEO of Kairun Group actually here to act! He doubted his own eyes and hearing until people began recognizing CEO Lu; only then did he dare to believe it was true.

Xiao Qing watched Lu Jinyang, her smile ambiguous as she looked at him.

The director shouted, "Action!"

Xiao Qing immediately got into character, along with Lu Jinyang.

However, just at that moment, a black figure appeared swiftly on screen. The director, seeing the person who had suddenly shown up, yelled, "Who’s got a death wish? Get out of here right now, don’t you know we’re filming?"

No sooner had the director finished speaking than he saw Lu Jinyang talking to that person in black.

Director: "..."

Everyone: "...." Was CEO Lu bringing his own extras?
