Disagree? My husband has a mouth, there was no misunderstanding at all!

Chapter 39 It's not like she's never had a good meal before.

Normally, the cleaning lady would only come in to clean up the odds and ends in the bedroom after they left, but when Yan Zhuoyu got up this morning, she found that Pei Weijin had already packed up and taken away the trash next to the bed, leaving nothing behind.

Yan Zhuoyu leaned against the down cushion in the car, finding it amusing. Was President Pei afraid that she would secretly pick up the business card again after he went on his business trip?

There's no need to be so wary; it's not like she's never had a good time before.

As for why it must have been done by President Pei himself, it's because the cleaning lady always puts a new garbage bag on top when she packs up the trash, but she didn't today.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Qiao Xinyun was leaning back and looked at her teasingly: "Tsk tsk, I've been staring at you for ten minutes and you haven't looked at me once. Look at you with that lovesick look on your face. Tell me, what are you thinking?"

Yan Zhuoyu cleared her throat, picked up her phone to half-cover her face, and winked at her in a coquettish manner.

"You always say I'm just a young girl in love, but don't you know which kind of love I'm thinking about?"

"Ugh!" Qiao Xinyun, who has been single for over twenty years, exclaimed, "It's so sour, so annoying."

"How do you manage to have such a fair and tender face despite staying up all night every day? It would be a shame if you didn't get an endorsement for a whitening skincare product."

Yan Zhuoyu unlocked her phone screen, swiped to open the camera, and touched her face.

Her skin was radiant and smooth, like tofu, and she looked like an eighteen-year-old girl. Her dark, expressive eyes were bright and clear, and her gaze was delicate and shy.

She's been busy with work these past few days and hasn't been to the beauty salon for skincare much. Except for the day Qin Zhuyue returned to China, when she specially applied a face mask, she usually just wiped her face with water and that was it. Yet, her skin condition has become increasingly outstanding.

"Perhaps it's due to hormonal imbalance."

Yan Zhuoyu remained expressionless and gave her explanation in a serious manner.

The assistant, who was driving, asked curiously, "Hormonal balance? How is it balanced?"

"Ugh, I shouldn't have asked that question!" Qiao Xinyun, who understood immediately, slapped her thigh in anger.

The assistant, belatedly realizing the situation, wailed, "Damn it, no showing affection in public!"

Qiao Xinyun quickly reassured her, "Stay calm, the lives of everyone on this bus are in your hands. Quick, let's talk about something serious."

"Zhuoyu, the director and the others retweeted your Weibo post yesterday to show their support. Remember to thank them when you get to the set later."

Yan Zhuoyu nodded: "Okay, it's still early. I guess some staff haven't had breakfast yet. Let's go to that shop up ahead and buy some coffee and bread as a thank you gift."

The car stopped in front of the coffee shop, and the assistant took Yan Zhuoyu's card to make purchases.

While scrolling through her phone, Qiao Xinyun asked, "Did you know Xu Guinan before?"

Yan Zhuoyu shook her head. Although Xu Guinan had been sidelined before, he was still someone of her stature who could easily get involved with.

"That's strange. The director and others retweeted the Weibo post to promote 'Yao Yun Jue,' but why would Xu Guinan retweet yours?" Qiao Xinyun asked, puzzled.

Yan Zhuoyu didn't use her phone much last night. She only saw the Weibo posts from the director and others who spoke up for her. After that, Qiao Xinyun managed her account, so she naturally didn't know about Xu Guinan's matter.

Qiao Xinyun handed her the phone, which was a Weibo post by Xu Guinan.

The only four words are: "She works very hard."

The accompanying picture shows Yan Zhuoyu under the scorching sun on set, with an umbrella in her arms, intently observing the actors' performances, and eagerly taking notes. She's practically using both hands and feet to do so. Anyone who sees this attitude would have to say she's serious.

"Xu Guinan is quite thoughtful. After you posted on Weibo, Liu Tianyong jumped out again to imply that your notes were just for show and were written by someone else. Xu Guinan's photo with the date and time immediately shut those people up, and Liu Tianyong simply shut up and pretended to be dead."

While Qiao Xinyun was still analyzing Xu Guinan's motives, Yan Zhuoyu felt something was off and slowly said, "Wouldn't this be considered secretly taking pictures of me?"

Being in the entertainment industry, one must always be wary of others. This photo was taken three days ago.

Three days ago, the two had hardly interacted at all. What was his purpose in taking this photo? If they wanted to take a photo together, wouldn't it have been better to just be open and natural?

"Could it be that he's my fan?" Yan Zhuoyu said half-jokingly.

Qiao Xinyun frowned: "That's true, it's better to be cautious."

The assistant has already finished shopping and also selected some refreshing drinks like mung bean soup.

Upon arriving at the film set, Yan Zhuoyu distributed drinks and desserts to the staff and expressed her gratitude to the director and others.

Upon entering the dressing room, she immediately noticed a stranger's face.

The other person was dressed in the robes of a disciple of a cultivation sect. When he saw Yan Zhuoyu looking at him, he politely nodded and greeted her as "Hello, Teacher Yan," before leaving.

"Who is he?"

Qiao Xinyun recalled what the director had just said and replied, "I just heard the director say that the actor originally cast as the sixth junior brother was hit by a car and injured his leg when he came to the set this morning. He happened to run into him outside, so he was brought in as a last-minute replacement. He looks quite similar to the actor, and the pay is low, only two hundred yuan a day."

Yan Zhuoyu nodded after hearing this, and didn't take it to heart.

The scene we're about to film is a crucial plot point: the eldest sister discovers that her master was one of the culprits behind her mother's death, causing her to have an emotional breakdown and ultimately betray the sect.

One scene shows the junior sister sacrificing herself to save the senior sister who was about to stab their master.

……

"Action!" With the director's command, filming officially began.

Yan Zhuoyu quickly got into character.

Holding the black jade curved blade given to her by her master, the eldest sister cried out in a hoarse voice, "Master, didn't you say that my mother sacrificed herself for the greater good? Why did I see in the Mirror of Reincarnation that it was you, it was you who used her as bait and threw her into the formation, where she was put to death!"

The master said indifferently, "Heaven is ruthless. This was her destined tribulation. You should be happy. Your mother, an ordinary disciple, has exchanged her life for the lives of countless immortals."

With tears in her eyes, the eldest sister gripped the dagger tightly: "So it turns out that fate has different levels of nobility and baseness."

As Yan Zhuoyu charged toward her master with a dagger, her eyes filled with hatred, following the script, Li Yunsheng, who played the junior sister, stood frozen in place, not moving for a long time.

"Cut!"

The director, frustrated, paused the machine.

Li Yunsheng then apologized as if waking from a dream. Her face was pale, and she glanced慌乱地 at the dagger in Yan Zhuoyu's hand:

"I'm...I'm sorry, director, I..."

She replaced the dagger at Song Zhiyu's request, but it was really difficult for her to overcome her fear of being stabbed knowing the truth.

If Yan Zhuoyu were unaware of the situation, she would definitely go all out, which was something Yan Zhuoyu really couldn't do; just thinking about it made her legs go weak.

The director sighed: "Li Yunsheng, you're not in good form. Why can't you keep up with the scene? Everyone, cheer up and let's do it again!"

Yan Zhuoyu returned to her original position and casually twirled the dagger, displaying a very skillful and cool demeanor. Li Yunsheng, however, felt even weaker in the knees watching.

"You have low blood sugar? Why don't you go drink some sugar water?"

She asked out of kindness, but more so because she didn't want to be in the sun with her; it would be damp and stuffy once the sun came up.

Li Yunsheng took a few steps back and waved his hands repeatedly: "No...no need, I'm ready."
