The next day, Gong Yu just finished a scene and walked to the dressing room to change clothes.
Seventh Brother walked in with a terrible look. After he said something to the makeup artist, the artist walked out of the room, leaving Gong Yu and Seventh Brother alone.
Gong Yu was keenly aware of the Seventh Brother"s unusual behavior, and asked, "What happened?"
Seventh Brother gloomily said, "You hit the headlines again."
Gong Yu looked at Seventh Brother and frowned. His face darkened, and he asked, "She did that?"
"Who?" Seventh Brother confusedly asked.
Gong Yu gnashed his teeth and said, "Fang Xinting."
Seventh Brother asked even more confusedly, "How do you know? Or there is something secret between you and her..."
Gong Yu hardheartedly stared at him.
Being stared, Seventh Brother shrunk his neck and said, "The headlines said that both of you appeared in the airport at the same time. And then they followed you and took photos of us on our way to the crew. Therefore, they guessed that you two actually got some affairs before the play and that you and Xiao Xi were not truly affectionate as others previously reported. They thought you were trying to cover up the fact that you cheated on her, so you deliberately showed off your affection."
Gong Yu"s face darkened even more and almost looked like a black pot.
As soon as Gong Yu heard those words, he took out his cell phone and started calling Murong Yunxi. "h.e.l.lo, Xiao Xi."
It was the second time that Gong Yu called Murong Yunxi after he went to the crew because he had been too busy to call her these days. Every day, when he was off work, it was almost late in the midnight.
When Murong Yunxi received the call, she was happy. In the past few days, she actually devoted herself to her work. She wrote novels day and night, almost forgetting to eat or sleep.
"Hey? Are you busy now? You haven"t called me for a long while."
After a short silence, Gong Yu asked, "Xiao Xi, have you read the news?"
Murong Yunxi was stunned and asked, "News? What news?"
On hearing that, Gong Yu immediately felt relieved and continued to say, "The news is false, so don"t believe it. You must believe me."
With doubts, Murong Yunxi closed the doc.u.ment she was writing and opened the webpage. As expected, the headline news was about Gong Yu. She quickly browsed the news to know a general idea.
Gong Yu did not hear Murong Yunxi"s answer on the phone. He felt anxious, and then eagerly asked, "Xiao Xi, are you listening?"
"Well, I was watching the news."
Gong Yu suddenly felt fl.u.s.tered and helpless.
"I won"t believe this kind of unwarranted news."
After hearing Murong Yunxi"s rea.s.suring words, Gong Yu finally felt relieved. "That"s good! I"m afraid you think too much."
Murong Yunxi chuckled and asked, "Honestly, why haven"t you call me for so many days?"
"I was working."
"Working? This reason is too perfunctory. You can"t work all the time without rest."
"I was afraid that I would miss you, so I dared not call." In fact, Gong Yu was afraid that he would miss Murong Yunxi, so he devoted himself into the work and spent all his time in working.
Murong Yunxi chuckled and said, "You must eat well and sleep well."
"OK."
Gong Yu chatted with Murong Yunxi for a little while before hanging up.
Just after that, Murong Ye"s call came in.
Gong Yu picked up and said, "Hey, brother."
"Is the news true?" Murong Ye asked. His voice was peaceful and did not reveal his real emotions.
"It is not true." Gong Yu calmly responded.
"Well, I see." Murong Ye hung up the phone.
Seventh Brother looked at Gong Yu and asked, "What happened? Did your brother-in-law accuse you?"
"No."
"What do we do now?"
"Don"t pay attention to her."
"Hmmm…"
Not waiting for Seventh Brother to finish his words, Gong Yu directly said, "Murong Ye will handle it."
"What?"
"Murong Ye loves Xiao Xi very much, so he won"t stand by and let it go worse. We don"t need to pay attention to it. We shall do our part well."
"Oh, you are so lucky to meet a good wife and a good brother-in-law."
Gong Yu slightly smiled.
"Oh, she is really different. It is the first time I saw you laughing for so many days. During this period, you knew nothing but work. Do you know what they are saying about you? They are secretly calling you the working machine. You finally look like a human when we mention Xiao Xi."
Gong Yu became expressionless once again. He said to Seventh Brother, "Call the makeup artist to come in. It"s time to go to the next shot."
Seventh Brother complained, "Now, the working machine is back again."
The next day, Gong Yu continued to work, but he felt uncomfortable. The continuous work ran him ragged. He had a stomachache caused by the irregular diet.
Seventh Brother worriedly asked, "How do you feel?" "Are you ok? If you felt ill, we can ask the director for today"s leave. You are not an iron man. And all of us can also take a break."
Gong Yu shook his head, and said, "No, I"ll just need some hot water."
With the director"s shouting, Gong Yu ma.s.saged his stomach and entered the crew site.
Worriedly looking at Gong Yu, Seventh Brother was tapped on the shoulder.
He looked around with doubts only to see Murong Yunxi looking at him with a smile.
"Xiao Xi, why are you here?"
"I come to see you guys."
Murong Yunxi said with a relaxing face. Then she looked at Gong Yu, who was in center of the site. She slightly frowned, and unpleasantly said, "Seventh Brother, why didn"t you take care of him? He looks so pale and thinner than before."
Seventh Brother looked at Murong Yunxi innocently and explained. "It is not my fault but his. He sleeps less than six hours a day and spends all the time in working. Even if he is an iron-powered robot, he also will be thinner."
Murong Yunxi thought of what Gong Yu said on the phone yesterday. Sure enough, he was too busy to call her.
"The director is too capitalist. How could he give him so much work? I think we should give some advice to the director." Murong Yunxi obviously expressed her dissatisfaction.
"You don"t know that all this is thanks to your husband. He was so energetic. When the project started, he told the director that he wanted a more crowded schedule. As a result, the director made a ten-hour job plan for him. However, he was still unsatisfied and asked for working 18 hours a day. The director disagreed, so he proposed to change it to 16 hours. The whole crew was almost exhausted because of him. He asked for extensive work, and others didn"t force him."
While they were talking, they heard an exclamation from the hall. "Gong Yu..."
They immediately looked toward the spot and saw Gong Yu fall into Fang Xinting"s arms.
Murong Yunxi rushed over to Gong Yu and found him fainted with a lot of sweats on his forehead, his face, and his lips compressed.
Murong Yunxi asked, "What happened?"
Fang Xinting did not notice who was talking to her and eagerly explained. "I don"t know what happened to him. Suddenly, he fainted with his face pale and a lot of cold sweat."
Seventh Brother nervously said, "It must because of his stomach. He is not feeling well today."
Murong Yunxi quickly took Gong Yu from Fang Xinting"s arms. When Fang Xinting was about to stop her angrily, she saw Murong Yunxi"s cold sight.
Murong Yunxi said grimly, "Thank you for your care of my husband."
Fang Xinting was slightly stunned, with her hands stiff in the air.
Murong Yunxi calmly turned to Seventh Brother and said, "Seventh Brother, please call the ambulance."
Soon the ambulance arrived. Gong Yu was sent to the hospital.
Murong Yunxi quietly sat at the door of the emergency room, with a coldhearted expression.
However, standing beside her, Seventh Brother appeared to be a bit nervous. He constantly changed his posture and looked up at the door.
Fang Xinting followed them to the hospital, but it seemed that she had no place among them. She could only stand on the side. Director Chen looked at Seventh Brother and asked, "Why you didn"t say he was uncomfortable today? How do we handle it now?"
Seventh Brother shook his head helplessly and said, "I have also persuaded him, but he turned a deaf ear to it."
Soon, the doctor walked out and said, "Who"s the patient"s relative?"
They all walked forward. Murong Yunxi calmly said, "I am. I"m his wife."
Fang Xinting glimpsed at Murong Yunxi, feeling jealous and sad.
The doctor glanced at Murong Yunxi with a dissatisfied accusation. "You are really careless. He was so ill when he was brought here. He got gastrorrhagia but was fortunately sent here in time. Now, he is fine. But, he needs to rest for several days and be in the hospital for at least a week."
Murong Yunxi nodded and asked, "Well, when can I see him?"
"Later, when he is sent to the general surgical ward."
"You can go to go through the admission procedure for him first."
Seventh Brother hurriedly received the paper from the doctor and said, "I"m on it."
Murong Yunxi nodded and looked at the door of the emergency room.
Chen Yingqiang"s phone rang at the moment. He walked into the stairwell to answer it.
Looking at Murong Yunxi with icy eyes, Fang Xinting coldly said, "It"s all because of you!"
Murong Yunxi frowned and turned to look at Fang Xinting.
Fang Xinting said fiercely, "It"s all because of you, otherwise, he would not have worked so hard and got sick."
Murong Yunxi was also a bit angry, and slightly asked, "But what right do you have to blame me?"
"You... You don"t deserve him."
"It"s none of your business."
"I am better than you in all aspects. I am the one who can help him in his career. You will only enc.u.mber him and let him remember to finish work quickly and go home to accompany you, who is useless like a vase. There won"t be a good future for him with you."
"First of all, you cannot judge me. Secondly, he doesn"t need your help in his career. He will get what he wants by himself. What"s more, he is willing to finish work quickly to accompany me at home, which fully explains that he really needs me. All this is enough to show that you"re at no place to judge our relationship and how important I"m to him."
Murong Yunxi"s sharp words made Fang Xinting blushed. She was almost to explode and said, "Well! Your name is Yun Muxi, right? Let"s see who"s gonna lose. And I"ll give you h.e.l.l."
