Ling Tianya paid no attention to him, and Du Gang had no other way around it either. He could only wave to Zhang Ke, who’s eyes were glinting in obvious interest, and pretend that nothing had happened.
Zhang Ke’s mouth widened in surprise, pointing at herself, and Du Gang nodded urgently.
“Miss Ling, I think Mr Du is asking me to go collect the packed lunch …” Zhang Ke looked over at Ling Tianya carefully, even though she didn’t dare to ask too much, she knew that Miss Ling and Ruan Zeyan didn’t seem to get along well. Du Gang had shouted so loud earlier, if Miss Ling had wanted to eat, she would have gone over a long time ago, but Miss Ling just continued on with her a.s.signed pack lunch by the production team as though she hadn’t heard a single word. Zhang Ke could only watch others eat, swallowing her saliva in want. The aroma of the food had floated over to them, Zhang Ke felt that it was some sort of torture.
“If you want to have some, just go get it.” Ling Tianya softly said.
“Okay!” Seeing that Ling Tianya did not disagree, Zhang Ke immediately stood in excitement, “Miss Ling, don’t eat what the crew has given you, I’ll get a set for you too!”
Ling Tianya shook her head, “I’m almost full, this is enough for me.”
“Oh…”
Du Gang saw Zhang Ke bounce over happily, and he gave her two sets of food, but, Zhang Ke only took one set instead, shaking her head, “Miss Ling says that she’s just about full, so she doesn’t want it.”
Finis.h.i.+ng, Zhang Ke held her own portion, before bouncing back to Ling Tianya’s side.
Du Gang still held the other set in his hands, and he was stunned in place, before turning his head slightly to the side. When he turned to look at his boss, it’s was no surprise to him that his boss’ lips downturned in a thin line.
He had gotten annoyed…
Zhang Ke impatiently opened up the exquisite lunch box after sitting down, the aroma from all the side dishes rus.h.i.+ng out of the box with the cover off.
It was a high-cla.s.s meal from a very sophisticated restaurant after all. Everything about it was top-notch, from the food, all the way to the packaging.
“Ah, Miss Ling look, aren’t all these your favourite dishes?” Zhang Ke put her boxed lunch right before Ling Tianya’s eyes, asking quietly.
The aroma that a.s.saulted Ling Tianya’s senses prompted her to look up, and it really contained all her favourite side dishes!
Ling Tianya’s breath stuck in her throat, her chest feeling squeezed full for a moment, a little warm, and also a little bitter-sweet…
“Isn’t this West Lake Vinegared Fish your favourite, Meiy?i!” Li Fei’s voice rang suddenly, Guan Meiyi and her were just enjoying their food near Ruan Zeyan. Her voice was not too loud, nor too soft, just enough for Ling Tianya to hear her clearly.
Ling Tianya quickly schooled her expression back into neutrality, a flicker of a self-deprecating smile appeared before she buried herself back into studying the script.
“The food’s good, do eat more, have my portion as well.” Ling Tianya dully said to Zhang Ke.
Zhang Ke didn’t think too much of it, Miss Ling had always been very cool, even when she was home. It was as though she wasn’t interested in anything, but she was attentive to everything at the same time.
“Okay!” Zhang Ke nodded her head enthusiastically, gulping down her food. She marvelled at how delicious the food was, truly the mark of a reputable restaurant!
Guan Meiyi actually had a palette quite similar to her teacher, they both liked sour-sweet food!
Ling Tianya would rather eat ten dollar boxed lunch than touch that expensive restaurant food. It certainly didn’t sit well with Ruan Zeyan.
Li Fei’s voice was grating on their ears, “Mr. Ruan you sure do care about Meiyi so much, not only did you come to see her, but spent so much money to treat the whole team to lunch. You got all the dishes that Meiyi loves.” Finis.h.i.+ng, Li Fei fluttered her lashes at Meiyi, “You sure do have a great life, Meiyi!”
Guan Meiyi’s face flushed in embarra.s.sment, as though she wasn’t eating food, but little servings of sweet, sweet honey. Her eyes filled and sparkled with love as she looked at Ruan Zeyan, “Zeyan, thank you for coming, I am very happy!”
Right then, Ruan Zeyan’s mood hit an absolute low, hearing these two women hype themselves up, he was really irritated.
Ruan Zeyan abruptly stood up with a clank, even his chair wobbled with the strength of his actions. Guan Meiyi was shocked out of her sweetened stupor, “Zeyan, what happened?”
“Enjoy the food, I’ll be heading off.” Just like that, Ruan Zeyan made a beeline to leave the set without even taking a last look at Guan Meiyi.
In the car, Du Gang’s hand that was holding the steering wheel was still drenched in cold sweat. He snuck a peek at Ruan Zeyan through the rearview mirror.
“Go contact w.a.n.g, tell him that in order to maximize the profits, I want the drama to be extended to eighty episodes!”
Ruan Zeyan’s voice was soft yet commandeering, Du Gang nodded his head, immediately arranging to pa.s.s down the information.
When Ling Tianya received the information from the producer, Mr. w.a.n.g, the cast was still in the midst of filming, hearing that the sixty episode drama would be extended to eighty episodes meant that she was going to have to change the script yet again, and she had to do it while the filming went on.
Ling Tianya ripped the script in her hands to shreds to relieve the anger.
“Ruan Zeyan! You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
