Mu Xiaoya didnât even finish her scene that day, and all the people were staring at her with gazes like piercing needles. Mu Xiaoya had left the set before the sun came down.
Ye Shengge watched her leave and smiled calmly before continuing her own shoot.
After work, she went back to her suite and lay on the bed after showering, not wanting to move at all.
Lin Qi massaged her, and Ye Shengge heard her phone ring.
She put her phone to her ear and picked up the phone without looking at the caller ID.
Ye Shengge paused momentarily when she heard the deep breathing coming from the other end of the phone. She suddenly said, âShiting?â
Ji Shiting nodded and said, âWhy arenât you back yet?â
âDidnât Sister Xiu tell you? I wonât be back tonight,â Ye Shengge explained. âThe crew starts work early and ends late, so Iâm staying in the Film City. That way, Iâll be able to rest a bit longer. Thereâs a one day break in about two weeks. Iâll be back then.â
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Ye Shenggeâs heart skipped a beat, and she quickly added, âSorry, I shouldâve told you earlier.â
âItâs alright.â Ji Shiting said calmly. âSleep early and be careful.â
He then hung up the phone.
Ye Shengge heard the busy tone on the phone, and she immediately called Ji Shiting.
âAnything else?â Ji Shiting asked.
Ye Shengge asked, âWere you hoping that I would go back?â
Ji Shiting snorted, âWhat do you think?â
âUm...â Ye Shengge was dazed.
Ji Shiting hung up the phone again.
Ye Shengge stared at him and scratched her hair. Although Ji Shiting sounded aloof, she still felt that the man wanted her to be home.
If he didnât mind, he wouldnât have called her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Thinking of that, Ye Shengge made up her mind and got out of bed. âGet the driver ready, Xiao Qi. I need to head back.â
âAh? Itâs almost 9 pm. Youâll have to be on the set tomorrow at 6 am.â Lin Qi was astonished.
âI know. I wonât be late,â Ye Shengge said as she started to change her clothes.
It was more important to appease her husband.
...
Qianfan Villa.
In the study, Ji Shiting put aside his phone.
He tapped his fingers on the desk and snorted.
He hadnât expected the woman to be at a closed-door shoot.
Speaking of which, she hadnât been living in the villa for many days, yet Ji Shiting couldnât get used to it when she wasnât around. Even if she didnât do anything, just the thought of her at home waiting for him was different.
However, he couldnât go back on his word.
The man took a deep breath and continued to work.
He left the study room and returned to his bedroom around 10:30 pm.
Ji Shitingâs pupils contracted when he saw the slender figure lying on the sofa. He almost thought his eyes were mistaken.
However, the person on the sofa moved. She sat up and smiled at him, âAre you done with your work?â
Ji Shiting pursed his lips and looked at her. âWhy are you back?â
