Chapter 183: Chapter 169: Extra – The Queen of the Silver Screen’s Counterattack (Part 3)

Li Xiaoxiao and the young actor left and went to a more secluded place to rehearse their scenes.

Li Xiaoxiao knew a little bit about this young actor; although it wasn’t publicized, he was already married.

At the beginning of the year, he had a child, and everyone in their circle knew about it.

So she felt reassured about this young actor, thinking that since he was already married with children, there wouldn’t be any issues.

However, unexpectedly, while they were acting out a scene that involved a hug, the young actor held her tightly and refused to let go.

Li Xiaoxiaoxiao panicked and pushed him forcefully.

"Let me go, we are done here."

"Xiaoxiao, I like you," the young actor shamelessly confessed.

Li Xiaoxiao felt both angry and furious, pushing him even harder.

But the strength of a woman can only go so far, and she couldn’t easily push a man away.

The young actor even lowered his head, trying to kiss Li Xiaoxiao.

Li Xiaoxiao was terrified.

She had never encountered such a situation.

Although she knew the entertainment industry had its dark sides, ever since her debut, Liao Hanfeng protected her. After leaving Liao Hanfeng, He Tingchen shielded her, so no one dared to harass her.

Just when she thought this scoundrel would take advantage of her, Liao Hanfeng appeared out of nowhere.

"Scoundrel, let her go."

Immediately after, the young actor was pulled away and punched in the face, his mouth bleeding.

"Xiaoxiao, don’t be afraid, I’m here," Liao Hanfeng quickly protected Li Xiaoxiao in his arms.

The young actor, originally furious and ready to fight back,

but when he saw that it was Liao Hanfeng weakened, Liao Hanfeng might be a producer, but he’s also from the Huayu Group, and the young actor couldn’t afford to offend him.

He silently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and hurried back to his place to get treated.

"How did you end up here?" Li Xiaoxiao asked Liao Hanfeng after the young actor left by pushing him away.

Liao Hanfeng frowned and said, "I saw you walking away with him, and I was worried about you, so I followed. You tell me, why would a girl come to such a place alone with him?"

"It’s my fault, thank you for saving me, but you don’t need to manage my matters." Feeling wronged and being chided by him, Li Xiaoxiao ran back in tears.

Liao Hanfeng smacked his lips fiercely, really he was out of his mind, losing even the ability to console people around Li Xiaoxiao.

When he returned, the beating turned out to be too severe, half of the young actor’s face was swollen.

How was he supposed to act like this?

The young actor became emotional and insisted on resting.

When Liao Hanfeng heard this, he coldly snorted and said: "You can go rest, but you don’t need to come back. We’ll pay the breach of contract fee, just get out now."

Everyone was shocked, including the young actor himself.

Mr. Li Wei, the director, was both shocked and furious; the young actor was carefully selected by him, and just after a few days of shooting, he was to be replaced?

Who could replace him?

Liao Hanfeng glanced at Li Xiaoxiao and said, "We’ll replace the male lead, shoot the other scenes first, and reselect a new male lead after we go back."

"Young Mr. Feng, you’re going to ruin this series," Mr. Li Wei said.

Liao Hanfeng retorted, "I’m not destroying this series, I’m saving it. This series is about first love, the most beautiful part of life. Yet such an important role is played by scum, I don’t think he can perform it well."

Mr. Li Wei argued with him to no avail and finally angrily remained silent.

The drama had some publicity initially, but in just a few days, the male lead was replaced.

Thus, everyone began to speculate; Liao Hanfeng also brought up the topic of the young actor harassing female staff on set, and exposed his marriage and child, making him a target for widespread criticism.

However, finding a more suitable male lead proved difficult.

After several auditions, Mr. Li Wei was not very satisfied.

After a month, Mr. Li Wei was disheartened and told Liao Hanfeng, "If we still can’t find a suitable male actor, I’m not prepared to continue shooting."

"That can’t happen; if this series is scrapped, it will be a great loss for Li Xiaoxiao. She’s also hoping to win awards with this drama, and she rejected other offers for this," Liao Hanfeng objected.

"I can’t do anything without a male actor," said Mr. Li Wei.

Liao Hanfeng thought for a while then said, "Try another actor tomorrow, if it still doesn’t work out, then we’ll discuss the matter of walking out."

Mr. Li Wei looked at him, wondering if he had found someone more suitable.

Despite his status as the young boss, he still nodded in agreement.

But no one expected that the person coming to audition the next day would be Liao Hanfeng.

Mr. Li Wei saw him and thought to himself, isn’t this a joke?

But as soon as Liao Hanfeng spoke, Mr. Li Wei couldn’t help but think, this is truly amazing.

So, he immediately arranged for him and Li Xiaoxiao to act together.

Li Xiaoxiao was also surprised when she saw him.

Liao Hanfeng smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, I have never acted before, you must guide me."

Li Xiaoxiao nodded stiffly.

The two of them acted out two scenes.

Everyone present clapped and cheered.

Before, everyone felt that Li Xiaoxiao and the to-be actor had great chemistry; they looked like a couple standing together.

But now, Li Xiaoxiao and Liao Hanfeng together, they didn’t just look like a couple, they were undoubtedly a real couple.

The film took a full three months to shoot.

During those three months, Li Xiaoxiao and Liao Hanfeng never left the mountains.

When it finally wrapped up, the two went on vacation to rest.

This was the first art film Li Xiaoxiao had shot and it was also the young boss of Huayu Group, Liao Hanfeng’s first time acting in a film.

It was also a film directed by Mr. Li Wei.

So, this film had been favored from the start.

Indeed, after its release, it was both critically acclaimed and successful at the box office.

Just the artists under Huayu Group alone were all cheering for their young boss.

Without any surprise, this time the Best Actress award went to Li Xiaoxiao.

Liao Hanfeng, who had known the insider news beforehand, had a gown custom-made for Li Xiaoxiao early on.

"This gown took half a year to customize, it will definitely stun everyone at the event."

"How did you know I would win half a year ago?" Li Xiaoxiao asked.

Liao Hanfeng looked deeply into her eyes and earnestly said, "Xiaoxiao, I knew you would win; you worked so hard, you were bound to. Even if you didn’t win, I still wanted you to be the most eye-catching female star at the event."

Li Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but purse her lips.

"So, Xiaoxiao, the matter I asked you about previously, do you agree or not?" Liao Hanfeng asked again.

Li Xiaoxiao knew what he was referring to.

During their previous vacation, on a sunny and breezy beach, Liao Hanfeng knelt down with a ring to propose to her.

She was stunned at the moment.

But everything felt so natural, she took Liao Hanfeng’s ring but didn’t wear it nor did she agree.

Instead, she said, "I will think about it, and when I agree, I naturally will wear the ring."

"If I haven’t worn it for a month, then I will return the ring to you."

"I’m still considering it," Li Xiaoxiao replied to him.

Liao Hanfeng was quite frustrated; it had been half a month already, and he was really anxious.

If a resolution didn’t come in one month, she would return the ring to him.

But today was a happy day for her as she was receiving an award, and he didn’t want to press her.

Finally, the award ceremony began.

As the host called Li Xiaoxiao’s name to come on stage to receive the award, there was a round of warm applause.

Everyone had already speculated about Li Xiaoxiao winning the award.

After all, the popularity of the movie ’First Love’ she filmed this time was well known.

"Thank you Mr. Li Wei, thanks to every staff member of the ’First Love’ production team, also thank you to Huayu Group for their strong support, and the love from all the fans. However, here, I want to thank one more person, the owner of this ring. He has always supported me and accompanied me, allowing me this opportunity to stand here and receive this honor."

Li Xiaoxiao in her speech, after finishing the formalities, suddenly raised her right hand, lowered her head, and kissed the ring on her hand.

Liao Hanfeng watching from below, his eyes reddened.

Happily clapping along, tears of excitement shimmering!
