"You're such a chatterbox!"
Xu Yifei shot Fu Shan a playful glare.
Though she spoke with a hint of mock annoyance, the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl upward, and a wave of sweetness washed over her heart.
These sudden sweet nothings...
Since when had Fu Shan become such a smooth talker?
Sweet words were pouring out of him like they were free!
Still, she loved it.
Fu Shan paid no mind to Xu Yifei's mock scolding.
Seeing the slight upturn of her lips, his own thin lips couldn't resist curving into a doting smile.
The gaze he cast upon her was so tender it could drown a person on the spot.
For a moment, their eyes intertwined, filled with an indescribable sweetness and tenderness.
Director Jia Qingyu, along with the cast and crew, stood by, speechless...
*Emmmmmmm, what's with this sudden, forced dose of dog food?*
*Fu Shan and Xu Yifei, you two are just too sweet, too in love!*
*Out of nowhere, you just start showing off your affection and showering us with dog food.*
*Burp, I'm stuffed!*
*We don't even need lunch anymore.*
*We're already stuffed with dog food!*
***
As the instigators of this display, Fu Shan and Xu Yifei showed no awareness of how their constant public affection was forcing everyone around them to gorge on public displays of affection until they were stuffed. The two continued to whisper intimately, their heads close together, their ears brushing as they murmured to each other.
The crowd, already stuffed with public displays of affection, was unfazed by this.
Meanwhile, Fang Yingying, who had excused herself earlier, suddenly stopped in her tracks. She whipped her head around to look at Fu Shan and Xu Yifei, her gaze darting between them before settling on Fu Shan.
*This man is handsome and wealthy. The more I look at him, the more I like him.*
*I must have him!*
A glint of determined ambition flashed in Fang Yingying's eyes, and she smirked.
By all rights, given Fang Yingying's current status, she wouldn't deign to play a supporting role, even in a pre-release hit drama.
So, why was she so eager to secure this particular role?
That's right! Her willingness to accept the role of Noble Consort Hua was strategic.
To be precise, Fang Yingying had set her sights on Fu Shan.
Let's not even mention anything else. The mere fact that he was the son of the richest man made him the ultimate catch, the kind of super-eligible bachelor countless women dreamed of.
If she could reel him in, she wouldn't have to struggle for twenty years... no, she could skip a lifetime of effort and ascend directly to the pinnacle of success.
What girl doesn't harbor a princess dream, yearning to hold hands with a handsome and wealthy prince?
No matter how she looked at it, Fang Yingying felt that Fu Shan was the prince she had been searching for all along.
Handsome, wealthy, and seemingly warm and devoted.
If only his devoted affection could be directed toward her, Fang Yingying, that would be perfect.
"No rush! We have plenty of time. Fu Shan, your coldness toward me today doesn't matter! I refuse to believe that my sincerity can't melt your heart of stone. One day, you'll realize how wonderful I am, and you'll never be able to leave me again! I'm certain of it!"
Fang Yingying gazed at Fu Shan, murmuring under her breath in a voice only she could hear.
After speaking, she glanced deeply once more at Fu Shan and Xu Yifei, who were holding hands, then smirked and turned to leave.
Following a brief introduction, Fu Shan and Xu Yifei immediately went to the makeup room in the back to get ready.
After all, they hadn't come to the film set to play.
Even on their first day, there were plenty of shooting tasks to complete.
The work still needed to be done.
Fortunately, Fu Shan and Xu Yifei's acting was on point and they were in good spirits. Many of the day's scenes were completed in a single take.
As a result, they finished all the day's shooting tasks ahead of schedule, around 4 PM or just before 5 PM.
"Alright! OK! Today's work is done. We can wrap up!"
As Director Jia Qingyu made an "OK" gesture to the crew, the staff erupted in cheers:
"We can wrap up this early? Awesome!"
"I can't believe we're done so soon. Does this mean I can go out and explore?"
"Thanks to Fu Shan and Xu Yifei, we finished early. What should we do next?"
***
Everyone knew that today's smooth progress and early completion of the filming task were entirely due to Fu Shan and Xu Yifei.
They were so dedicated!
And their acting was so brilliant!
Truly admirable!
"Since we're wrapping up early and it's almost mealtime, why don't we all go out for a meal together? My treat!" Fang Yingying suddenly suggested with a smile.
She was always so thoughtful, so this proposal didn't surprise anyone.
Jia Qingyu, intrigued, immediately waved his hand. "Haha, how could we let you, a lady, treat us? The production will host a celebratory dinner for everyone instead—consider it a welcome feast for joining the crew!"
The other actors and crew members readily agreed, their faces beaming.
Seeing this, Director Jia Qingyu turned to Fu Shan and Xu Yifei, who were preparing to remove their makeup, and asked with eager eyes, "Fu Shan, Yifei, what do you think? Join us! Let's have a celebratory meal together."
As major stars, Fu Shan and Xu Yifei were beyond his control as director. That's why he asked so earnestly.
"Sure, I'll join everyone," Xu Yifei replied with a nod, readily agreeing.
Since the director had said so, it would be hard to refuse.
Besides, it was a cast and crew dinner...
A necessary social obligation.
We had to go!
*Hmm, hmm.*
"Yeah, let's go together," Fu Shan said, glancing at Xu Yifei with an indifferent expression.
He genuinely didn't care.
But since Yifei wanted to go...
Then let's go.
For a "24-hour devoted husband" like him, whatever Yifei said went.
Seeing that neither Fu Shan nor Xu Yifei objected, the others cheered.
Fang Yingying, especially, exclaimed cheerfully, "Yay! Dinner together! I'll pick the restaurant. What do you guys feel like? Chinese, Western, hot pot, Sichuan? Let me know!"
She immediately began enthusiastically organizing the reservation and menu selection.
Soon, the entire crew headed to a nearby restaurant with a nice ambiance. The crew members sat at several tables, while the director, Jia Qingyu, Fu Shan, Xu Yifei, and the main actors shared a separate table for a pleasant dinner.
"The food's almost all here! Don't eat yet! I need to take pictures for my social media first! Hehe~"
As the table filled with various delicious dishes, Fang Yingying spoke up before anyone could pick up their chopsticks.
