Chapter 39: Meeting Face to Face (6)
As the siblings reunited underneath the stage, Xing Yicheng embraced his sister. He then stood upright and smiled at the director: “Congratulations on Sheng s.h.i.+’s successful premier!”
The director also shared a few polite remarks with him. At this time, a reporter pointed the microphone towards Xing Yichen. Since he couldn’t get too close to Xing Yichen, he immediately asked the topic that concerned them most: “Excuse me, Mr. Xing, but is your relations.h.i.+p good with Miss Ruohuan?”
Xing Yichen was at a coner of the stage because he had just spoken with the director. At this moment, the light in his eyes faded when he spotted Qiao Moyu on his right side towards the other end of the stage.
She had a carefree expression on her face and her lips were slightly tilted. The reporter who interviewed Xing Yichen, didn’t seem to notice his distraction at all.
Suddenly, Xing Yichen realized one fact. It seems that ever since he drove Qiao Moyu away that day, she never took the initiative to find him in his office.
In the past, she always had a variety of excuses to approach him. Even if he refused, she remained indifferent to his harsh words and would still maintain a bright smile on her face the next time they would meet.
The last time he came to visit Sheng s.h.i.+’s drama crew, Qiao Moyu acted as if she never saw him. As of this moment, he only stood three to four meters away from her, but she still regarded him as someone invisible.
His eyebrows knitted slightly and his heart swelled with displeasure. However, Xing Yichen’s voice was particularly gentle as he spoke: “If Ruohuan and I receive our marriage certificates, naturally, we will invite everyone to our wedding celebration to give out wedding chocolates.”
These words revealed the state of their relations.h.i.+p. First, they weren’t married yet, and second, they already had plans for marriage.
“Congratulations in advance, Xing Yichen!” the reporter said with a smile.
Next was the interactive theatre with the fans. The host took the microphone and exclaimed, “Now fans, please take the acting lines you’ve prepared and lift up high while we select our first candidate…Okay, this girl!”
When the girl in the crowd realized that she was the chosen candidate, she was so excited that she hastily pa.s.sed her lines towards the host.
The host opened the note and read: “Please ask Film Emperor Ye to say my line to Qiao Moyu:
Ling Cang: I love you, Yan’er, will you marry me?
Zi Yan: I do. [kiss]
After he finished speaking, everyone’s eyes locked on Ye Peicheng and Qiao Moyu.
It was customary for fans to prepare lines for interactive theatres. Generally speaking, as long as the fan’s requests weren’t too excessive, the actors will go ahead and act the script.
At this moment, the host hesitantly stared at Ye Peicheng. She was aware that this actor never shot scenes with kisses or bed scenes ever since he entered the entertainment circle. If he really needed to do close-ups, he would have the stand-in actor do it. Also, during the road shows, premiers and other activities, he had never kissed another actress.
So the host thought to herself: ‘this Ye Peicheng will most likely refuse. Even if he doesn’t refuse it out loud, the fan’s request for a kiss scene will most likely be cut out of the broadcast.’
Xing Wanshuang couldn’t hold back her joy at this time. She wants to see Qiao Moyu hide her face in shame after being rejected by the Film Emperor in public.
In addition, her brother was also present, being the man that Qiao Moyu loved but could never get. If Qiao Moyu was rejected by another man in front of Xing Yichen’s current girlfriend, how distraught will she be?
But just as Xing Wanshuang waited to see Qiao Moyu’s next reaction, she suddenly heard Ye Peicheng beside her respond in a gentle voice: “Alright.” The actor leaned over and waved to Qiao Moyu, then spoke with an indifferent tone, but with a firmness that couldn’t be refused: “Come over.”
Author’s Afterword:
What do you think of Film Emperor’s words ‘Come over’?
Ye Peicheng: Come over.
Qiao Moyu: You have to get through my son first before you can come close.
Luo Luo: Mama, Baobei will come and kiss you instead!
Ye Peicheng: …
