âTake it now so that you can go to bed early.â
âGot it.â With that, Xiao Qing entered the room.
She had just closed the door when her phone rang. She took a look and saw that it was Shen Mubei!
Why was he calling her? Was he going to question her?
No, she wasnât the only one at fault in this matter. He had also taken the initiative. Both of them were at fault. They were even, so why did he want to question her?
When she was done thinking, the phone stopped ringing.
Immediately, the phone rang again. It was still Shen Mubei calling.
Xiao Qing felt as though there was a bad itch all over her body. She wanted to answer the call, but she hesitated. She was afraid that after she answered it, he would tell her righteously that she should take the morning after pill or say something else unpleasant.
Instead of listening to those words, it was better not to answer the call. At the thought of this, Xiao Qing immediately stuffed her phone under her pillow and went into the bathroom to soak in the bathtub.
Just like that, after she was done bathing, not only did she not take the hangover medicine, but she also did not take the morning after pill. She lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, when she woke up and brushed her teeth, Mrs. Xiao said, âSigh, Mubei called last night and asked if you were back. Mubei is such a responsible child. I heard that he went to the event location last night. Itâs so nice that he called to ask about you. If it werenât for the fact that you donât like him, I wouldâve arranged for the two of you to go on a blind date.â
âMom, donât mess around! Itâs impossible between us!â Xiao Qing immediately said. âBesides, he has a girlfriend. Itâs just that he hasnât brought her home yet.
Donât cause trouble.â
âI know, I know.â
After Qiao Weiyang arrived at the set, she filmed her scenes in the morning. At noon, she took a lunch box and realized that Shen Mubei was also there.
As far as she knew, Shen Mubei had always been generous to his subordinates and had never interfered in the specific matters of filming. Why had he become addicted to visiting the set recently? Was this place so good?
On second thought, since Zhao Xinshu was on set, Shen Mubei might be here to accompany her. There was nothing strange about it.
She sat down and lowered her head to eat.
Another lunch box was placed in front of her. Shen Mubeiâs voice sounded. âCan I sit here?â
âItâs up to you, President Shen.â Qiao Weiyang smiled. This was a public area with air conditioning. Anyone could sit here.
Qiao Weiyang didnât like the smell of food in the dressing room, so she chose to eat here.
Shen Mubei sat down and slowly ate the lunch box in his hand. It was a little difficult for him to eat it. It was obvious that he was not used to the taste.
Qiao Weiyang ate the food seriously.
Just then, Shen Mubei asked, âXiao Qing didnât come?â
âHuh?â Qiao Weiyang looked up. âAre you asking whether Xiao Qing came to the set today?â
âYes. Didnât she come here before?â Shen Mubei had a businesslike expression.
âShe doesnât have a position here? The filming schedule canât be delayed.â
âShe was just here to visit. She doesnât work here,â Qiao Weiyang explained.
âPresident Shen, why are you looking for her?â
Shen Mubei shook his head. âIâm not.â
Qiao Weiyang felt that he was strange today, but she couldnât tell what was strange about him.
However, since it concerned Xiao Qing, she was very cautious. She would never mention anything if Shen Mubei did not take the initiative to speak.
She had just lowered her head when she heard Shen Mubei ask, âDo the two of you have something against me?â
Qiao Weiyang choked on a mouthful of soup. Shen Mubei handed her a tissue gentlemanly. She took it and covered her mouth. Seeing that Shen Mubei was being businesslike again, her gaze seemed to be saying, âAs a leader, I hope you wonât have any prejudice and continue to have a peaceful cooperation with me.â He was just a capitalist in her eyes.
âPresident Shen, youâre thinking too much. How could we have any objections against you? Weâre just focused on our jobs. Weâre loyal to our professions. We just have to cooperate with our colleagues and be responsible to our superiors.â
Shen Mubei was deep in thought. There was a question he wanted to ask, but he could not bring himself to voice out.
Qiao Weiyang was cold and indifferent. She took work more seriously than anything else.
As for Xiao Qing⦠He reached out and pressed the space between his eyebrows heavily with a solemn expression. He did not know why he suddenly had such an entanglement with Xiao Qing.
He was clearly not a lustful person. It could even be said that he was very indifferent, but he did such a thing with Xiao Qing.
He was sure that he was completely sober at that time. He did not drink too much and was not drugged. He was so sober that every feeling and touch was still vivid in his mind.
It was so vivid that⦠he wanted to pull Xiao Qing into his arms again and replay what had happened.
Seeing that he was deep in thought, Qiao Weiyang tugged at her collar in frustration. She didnât know what he was troubled about and didnât ask. She just lowered her head and continued to eat silently.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
When Zhao Xinshu heard that Shen Mubei had come to the set again, she was so happy that she did not even eat. She checked her makeup before going over.
As she walked, she reminded her manager, âGo and order food from Hua Man Lou. Mubei hates the smell of rice the most. It has to be mild. You have to order the prawns he likes.â
âGot it, Xinshu. Iâll go over quickly and place the order.â
Zhao Xinshu ran over happily.
Unexpectedly, the first thing she saw was Shen Mubei sitting opposite Qiao Weiyang with a lunch box in front of him.
Although he hadnât finished the food in the lunch box, it was obvious that he had eaten some of it.
Her heart sank to the bottom. After a while, she smiled and shouted, âMubei.â
When Shen Mubei saw her, an unusual emotion flashed across his eyes. He stood up.
âWhy are you suddenly eating lunch boxes? The dishes from Hua Man Lou are about to be sent over. If you have work to discuss with Weiyang, why donât I get someone to bring them over and Weiyang can join us too?â
âWeâre done discussing,â Shen Mubei said coldly. âLetâs go.â
Zhao Xinshu glared at Qiao Weiyang. Qiao Weiyang really wanted to seduce Shen Mubei. What was wrong with her? She actually dared to do that in front of his girlfriend. Did she think that Zhao Xinshu didnât hate her enough?
Qiao Weiyang watched the two of them leave. She was immersed in her own thoughts. Once they were far away, she lowered her head and continued to eat.
Zhao Xinshu followed Shen Mubei. Seeing that his expression could not be read, she quickly said in a low voice, âLetâs go eat first.â
âIâve already eaten. Go ahead.â Shen Mubei sat down in her dressing room.
The manager had already placed the exquisite dishes on the dining table before leaving.
âEat a little more. I ordered prawns. The other dishes are also your favorites.â
After saying that, Zhao Xinshu washed her hands, peeled two prawns, and placed them in the bowl in front of him.
Shen Mubei did not touch his chopsticks. Instead, he said, âEat first. I have something to tell you after youâre done..â
