âHave you ladies also become screenwriters so you could change the scene yourselves?â The director couldnât help but mock.
Susie quickly replied with grievance, âDirector, Sun Nana is extremely jealous of her love rival, so itâs not too outrageous that she slapped her, right?â
âBut would she slap her the first time they met without saying a word?â The director was also aware of the rivalry between these actresses, but this was too much.
âIâm sorry, director. I only did it because of the plot.â Susie said apologetically. She then turned to Gu Huanhuan and said, âYour character has always appeared as a weakling. Why did you slap me?â
Gu Huanhuan could not help but roll her eyes at Susie. Was she going to just let Susie slap her? More importantly, she knew that it wasnât how the scene was written. Susie was obviously acting out of personal spite. Gu Huanhuan wouldnât just take it lying down.
âIâm sorry. Even the weak will instinctively fight back when they are bullied.â Gu Huanhuan replied plainly.
âPlease look in the mirror. You two have faces swollen like steam buns now. How are we going to continue today? I donât want such a thing to happen again in the future.â The director warned.
Susie knew that it was her fault. Her face was sour but she didnât say anything.
Because their faces were red and swollen, their scenes couldnât be filmed today. The director had no choice but to shoot scenes without them first.
When Gu Huanhuan heard the directorâs words, she said a quick âsorryâ and left.
Since it was Saturday, Gu Huanhuan sent a WeChat message to Wen Chi asking if he was busy today.
Very quickly, he texted back, âFree today. Am at home.â
Perfect. She would give him a surprise.
Gu Huanhuan walked into the breakroom and put on a disguise. She wore a sun hat and lowered the brim of the hat before she hopped on to her chauffeured van.
âPlease drop me at a nearby supermarket.â Gu Huanhuan instructed the driver after she got in. She then started to think about what sheâd buy at the supermarket later.
The chauffeur left after dropping her off.
Gu Huanhuan walked to the fruit and vegetable section of the supermarket and got two large bags of food before she flagged down a taxi.
She wanted to text Wen Chi after giving her destination address to the driver but was met with a bunch of new messages from him. She was delighted.
His messages asked if she had time today because he wanted to make soup for her. As it was still not convenient for them to eat out, they mostly cooked at home.
Wen Chi had recently bought many recipe books and been practicing.
The two of them really had a telepathic connection.
Gu Huanhuan arrived at Wen Chiâs apartment building and realized that a PIN was required to open the door, so she called Wen Chi to let her in.
When Wen Chi saw her, he looked pleasantly surprised. It really pleased her.
Seeing that she was carrying two large shopping bags, Wen Chi asked with a frown, âWhy didnât you ask me to help?â
He quickly took the bags from her as he spoke.
âI wanted to give you a surprise. Who knew that the door required a PIN to open?â Gu Huanhuan said with slight annoyance.
âSilly girl, Iâll give you a key card later so you can get in whenever you want to access my apartment.â Wen Chi said with a smile.
Gu Huanhuan looked around Wen Chiâs apartment. The black, white, and gray color palette was minimalist but classy. She liked Wen Chiâs taste.
She casually took off her sun hat and ran her fingers through her hair.
Wen Chiâs smiling face suddenly turned dark. âFreeze.â
He walked up to her and straightened her body. âWhat happened to your face?â
Gu Huanhuanâs face was covered by her hair when she walked in, so he didnât notice it at first. Now that he saw her red and swollen face, he was shocked.
