Chapter 380: 380

"Really?" The director indeed hoped they could wrap up for the day.

"Finish today’s work today, what’s the point of dragging it until tomorrow? Continue," Xing Ling said.

She hadn’t expected Ye Sihan to come here.

Why should she pay attention to him just because he came looking for her?

She sent two text messages and got no reply, which was a serious blow to her self-esteem!

The scene with the male lead required wirework.

The female lead was entangled by an alien and needed to be suspended in mid-air, and the male lead too.

The alien was a post-production effect, as the female lead struggled in mid-air before falling.

The male lead, clad in armor, flew to her rescue, catching her in his arms and landing in front of the green screen.

Then the male lead spoke to her with deep affection, his eyes reddening with emotion.

The severely injured female lead lifted her hand to touch the male lead and spoke her lines.

After about ten seconds of eye contact, the director called cut, and the scene was done in one take.

The male lead immediately gentlemanly pulled Xing Ling up.

"Thank you," Xing Ling smiled.

Just a second ago the two had been on the verge of a tearful parting, but the moment cut was called, it all turned to laughter.

"That’s a wrap!" the director shouted. They had to call it a day; there were still a few days worth of filming left, and they couldn’t afford any complications.

Xing Ling had finished her scenes and noticed that Ye Sihan was still standing there, looking quite patient.

She affected a casual approach, "What brings you here? Looking for someone?"

"Looking for you," Ye Sihan’s dark eyes were tranquil.

"What do you want with me?" Xing Ling pouted with an annoyed expression.

"Dinner together."

"No one else to dine with? Why don’t you look for Wu Qianqian? Isn’t she your woman?" Xing Ling said sarcastically.

Ye Sihan didn’t answer her but simply asked, "Are you coming or not?"

"You haven’t answered my question."

Ye Sihan turned and walked away.

"I’m coming!" Xing Ling stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve.

Ye Sihan’s dark eyes narrowed as he looked at her, "Go change your clothes."

Xing Ling looked down at her costume with reluctance and turned to go change.

Zhou Yue immediately followed her.

She was taking off her costume and removing her makeup at the same time.

"Sis, you really like Mr. Ye, don’t you?" Zhou Yue asked.

"No," Xing Ling denied.

"As soon as Mr. Ye appeared, your eyes were glued to him."

Xing Ling pursed her lips and then, blushing, asked, "Is it that obvious?"

"Very obvious! But Sis, Mr. Ye is married. Aren’t you becoming the other woman?" Zhou Yue asked.

"I really am..." Xing Ling raised her hand as if to hit her.

"Don’t hit, don’t hit, I’ll stop talking," Zhou Yue jumped aside.

"Ye Sihan’s wife passed away a long time ago," Xing Ling did not want others to think she was the other woman.

"Dead?" Zhou Yue was surprised.

"Do you think otherwise? Could I live in Ye Mansion just like nothing happened if she were still alive?"

"It doesn’t matter whether you are the other woman or not, as long as you’re not getting hurt," Zhou Yue said sincerely.

"I wouldn’t do anything immoral. It’s just that there’s Wu Qianqian around Ye Sihan. Does that make me the third party?" Xing Ling seemed to be questioning herself, "But that’s not right; there’s nothing between me and Ye Sihan..."

She said this with a lack of conviction.

In the car, and on the bed, was that nothing?

At most it was... physical without recognition.

And that was even more detestable!

Xing Ling changed into her own clothes and came out, only to see Ye Sihan still standing there, engaged in a business call.

She jogged over to him.

Ye Sihan continued discussing business on the phone as he walked towards the helicopter.

Xing Ling silently followed behind.

She looked down at Ye Sihan’s long legs, clad in black dress pants, both long and straight, exuding a strong and sexy presence.

As she was mesmerized by the sight, she failed to notice the figure stopping ahead and crashed directly into his back, the hardness of his muscles causing a pang of pain in her nose—

"Ah! Ouch..."

Ye Sihan turned to look at her, his nose red and eyes watery, looking as if she had been greatly wronged, pitiful indeed.

"What were you looking at? Your body is so hard..." Xing Ling accused innocently.

"Get on." Ye Sihan’s voice was slightly deep.

Xing Ling touched her nose while climbing onto the plane.

Only after she boarded did Ye Sihan follow onto the plane.

The cabin door closed, and the plane took off.

Through the window, Xing Ling saw her absent-minded assistant waving at her.

She thought they were heading back to Ye Mansion, but to her surprise, they dined out instead.

In the upscale restaurant, all the diners were dressed to the nines. Xing Ling thought it was fortunate she had dressed up deliberately; the well-tailored dress on her outlined her shapely figure. Her elegance and beauty were impeccable.

Standing beside Ye Sihan, she should be quite a match.

They entered a private booth, where Ye Sihan pulled out a chair for her.

"Thank you." Xing Ling sat down.

Once Ye Sihan was seated, they started to order.

Xing Ling opened the menu, her eyes sparkling at the sight of dishes she had never tried, her mouth watering uncontrollably.

She ordered several dishes she liked, as well as desserts and juice.

During the wait, the quietness of the booth felt uncomfortably silent.

Xing Ling looked left and right, appearing to be very busy.

"I didn’t expect you would come for me." She found a topic to discuss.

"You’re angry." Ye Sihan said.

Xing Ling bristled instantly, "Where am I angry?"

"What are you angry about?"

"I’m not." Xing Ling fiddled with the cutlery in her hands, her gaze darting around. She couldn’t help but ask, "Isn’t it improper for you to invite me to dinner like this? Alone together, if Wu Qianqian finds out, she won’t be happy."

On the surface, she was reminding Ye Sihan to be aware of appearances, but in truth, she was testing the waters.

"She won’t."

"Why not?" Xing Ling asked. "Isn’t she your woman?"

Ye Sihan remained silent.

Xing Ling frowned, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Why did he always ignore her whenever Wu Qianqian was mentioned?

"If she’s your woman, we should keep our distance from now on!" Xing Ling said proudly.

As if she had to dine with him!

She wasn’t keen!

The dishes were served promptly, and the waiters came in and out like flowing water.

Xing Ling thought to herself, I didn’t order that much, so how could the table be so fully laid?

"We can’t finish all this, can we?"

"We’ll have leftovers." Ye Sihan said.

"I’m hungry!" Xing Ling fell silent, picked up her chopsticks, and immediately began to eat.

There was an abundance of food, but somehow her mood was incredibly joyful, and she almost wanted to eat everything!

After the hunger in her stomach subsided, Xing Ling finally had the leisure to speak, "Are the kids at home?"

"They finish school at five o’clock; they should be having dinner by now."

"Is my second brother also there?"

"Not sure."

Xing Ling knew that Ye Sihan had come straight to her film set from the KING Group.

Thinking of something, she said, "It’ll only be a few days until the shoot is over, and we’ll have to go back."

Ye Sihan’s dark eyes lifted to look at her, his gaze intense and not very friendly.

"I’m the lead actor of this film; I can’t just quit halfway. It’s not my style. If you’re going to do a job, you should do it well. Otherwise, it’s just unprofessional." Xing Ling stammered over her last sentence, "Once it’s over, I can come back to Kyoto. After all, my second brother is here, and there are the quadruplets; I quite like them too."

She deliberately didn’t mention Ye Sihan.
