Chapter 244 - 244 A Beauty from Ancient Times
244 A Beauty from Ancient Times
The crew looked back and forth between the two of them a few times.
Was CEO Pei acting weird today?
He looked upset but he was smiling.
However, the veins at the back of his neck were popping out!
Su Ji: “…”
Han Junlei was the most optimistic person in the room. “Hahaha, since CEO Pei said so, let’s continue filming!”
Immediately after that, it was another half an hour of practice and filming.
Xu Ni’s bangs were covering his eyes during the first shot, so Han Junlei asked them to do it again.
Huang Huayu sat beside Pei Huai. “CEO Pei, Director Han is a perfectionist. He won’t even allow a hair to be at the wrong place.”
He was still waiting for Pei Huai to compliment them.
Pei Huai looked at the time. “Is it time for lunch?”
“It’s still early. If we can’t finish it, we won’t have time to eat,” Huang Huayu said.
Pei Huai’s brows furrowed. “Is this how you treat your actors?”
“…”
Most bosses hoped that their employees would be as diligent as possible, and they would rather them work the whole day.
CEO Pei was indeed different.
Or else how could he be so successful?
Huang Huayu finally understood how to please CEO Pei. Fortunately, Director Han was finally satisfied with the scene.
Han Junlei was smiling. “Alright, Su Ji and Xu Ni, you did well just now. We’re done!”
The entire crew heaved a sigh of relief when they could finally rest.
This bit of physical work was nothing to Su Ji, but she had to repeat the scene several times. Every time, she had to focus and be in the right mood. In the end, when the shoot was over, she felt warm.
She took out a rubber band from her pocket and casually tied her long hair up, revealing her delicate and beautiful facial features.
She looked sophisticated in the white pajamas.
Everyone in the crew gathered around Pei Huai. Only Xu Ni, who had finished filming with Su Ji, tidied his crumpled T-shirt and glanced at Pei Huai. He said flatly, “CEO Pei is your boyfriend?”
Su Ji froze.
Eh?
“How did you know?”
Xu Ni snorted. “When we were filming just now, his eyes were so murderous!”
Su Ji chuckled. “You should be glad that he only used his eyes.”
“???”
Pei Xi, who was beside him, heard and smiled at him. “You’re sensitive. I feel that among all the people in the crew, you’re the only one who noticed.”
She had been thinking about this when Huang Huayu repeatedly challenged Pei Huai’s limits.
No one in the room could tell that Pei Huai liked Su Ji?
Finally, a smart one.
Hearing Pei Xi’s words, Xu Ni’s face turned red. “Sensitive? I’m just observant!”
After that, he took the water from his a.s.sistant, Xiao Hua, and left.
Su Ji was a weirdo! Su Ji’s manager was also a weirdo!
The terms they used were so strange!
Pei Xi glanced at his reddened neck and said to Su Ji, “your new partner is quite thin-skinned, huh?”
Su Ji swiped on her phone and remembered what she saw today…
Her lips curved into a smile. “He’s indeed thin-skinned. Don’t tease him.”
During the lunch break, Han Junlei wanted to talk to Su Ji about the upcoming scenes.
“Su Ji, come here…”
“Su Ji.”
Before Han Junlei could finish, someone else called Su Ji.
That voice was deep and magnetic, much more attractive than his.
It was CEO Pei.
Su Ji was just about to get her lunch box when she heard two people calling her. She turned around to look at them.
Pei Huai met Han Junlei’s gaze. There was no expression on his face. “I’m sorry. I have something to discuss with Su Ji.”
When Han Junlei heard that, he did not dare to take her. “Ah, go ahead, I’m not in a hurry.”
In the dressing room, Pei Huai ordered a few dishes and placed them in front of Su Ji.
He took Su Ji away from Han Junlei just so that Su Ji could have a peaceful lunch.
Pei Xi was there as well.
Su Ji was reading her script as she ate. Pei Huai was sitting opposite her and looking at her.
He had thought about what to say to convince her to stop partic.i.p.ating in scenes like these.
Su Ji felt his burning gaze and looked up. She glanced at him with her flirtatious eyes, “what’s wrong? Do you have something to tell me?”
Pei Huai’s mind went blank for a second, and all his words of lecture were thrown to the back of his mind. “Nothing, the food is getting cold. Eat first.”
Su Ji raised her eyebrows and went back to the script. “I’ll eat while I read.”
It was a meat dish that Su Ji liked very much. Pei Xi also thought it was good.
Su Ji was focused on the script in her hands and ate slowly. Pei Xi was eating four times as quick as her.
After a short while, the meat was almost finished.
Pei Huai frowned slightly and pushed the meat in Su Ji’s direction, so that Pei Xi could not reach it.
Pei Xi reached out with her chopsticks, but realized that she couldn’t reach it. “Pei Huai, do you have to go that far?”
Pei huai looked at her and smiled emotionlessly. “You’ve gained weight recently, you should eat less.”
He killed her with one sentence.
Pei Xi almost vomited blood in anger!
She had reason to suspect that if there was a famine in the world, he would rather starve his whole family than have Su Ji eat a little less.
Pei Xi quickly looked at herself in the mirror.
Although she had really put on a little weight recently, she was still a beauty!
Besides, didn’t she do this so that she could conceive?
When Su Ji gave her the prescription, she also told her that she might gain a little weight during this period of time and asked her not to worry.
Although she didn’t know if the method would work, there’s no harm in trying.
“I’m doing this to get pregnant! When have you seen me gain weight? Do you know how much a woman has to do to have a child?”
As expected, Pei Huai fell into deep thought afterwards. His expression was serious and solemn.
Pei Xi asked quietly, “do you feel bad now?”
However, Pei Huai did not look at her. In the next second, he clasped Su Ji’s hand. “Su Ji, let’s be a d.i.n.k couple.”
Pei Xi: “???”
He did hear her, but it was obvious that he wasn’t thinking about her!
Su Ji was focused on reading the script and did not hear what the two were talking about at all. She only looked up when she felt Pei Huai holding her hand. “What’s a d.i.n.k?”
Pei Huai explained it to her.
Su Ji narrowed her eyes and slapped his hand away.
Pei Xi looked at Su Ji for a while and suddenly laughed. “I feel like you’re a beauty from ancient times who doesn’t understand modern terms…”
