Chapter 416: Chapter 414 Compare Hearts_1

After dinner, Xia Ningxing made another trip to Lu Tingli’s house to tell him the news and to say goodbye.

"You’re leaving tomorrow? That soon?" Upon hearing this, Lu Tingli couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

"Yes, what’s wrong?" Xia Ningxing asked, noticing the deep crease in his forehead.

Lu Tingli sighed, "I have a business trip tomorrow and can’t accompany you."

"Lu, I’m not a child anymore. I don’t need anyone to accompany me. Besides, this time my elder brother will temporarily be my assistant and join me."

"And there’s Director Xu, as well as several interns from the company. We’re all on the same flight."

"With so many people coming along, and with my skills being so good, what are you worried about?"

"Yes, yes, not worried at all," Lu Tingli said as he stroked her head.

Although he said that, Lu Tingli still planned to send someone to secretly follow Xia Ningxing to ensure her safety.

Xia Ningxing looked up and waved gently at him: "Then I’ll head back first, Lu."

"I’ll walk you out."

Straight away, Lu Tingli took her soft and delicate hand and walked out of the room with her.

When Xia Ningxing returned from the Lu family’s home, she entered her room to find Mrs. Xia packing her luggage.

"Mom," Xia Ningxing walked in, trying to stop her, "I can pack by myself, you don’t need to trouble yourself."

"You’re my beloved daughter. How could it be trouble for me, your mother, to help you pack?" Mrs. Xia gave her a reproachful glance before her expression softened, and while folding clothes, she said:

"I’ve heard that Anda City is much colder than here, so remember to dress warmly, especially with thermal underwear, as it’s very insulating."

"Once you’re there, take good care of yourself, understand?"

"Let your elder brother handle any issues, and don’t overexert yourself."

"And for those dangerous scenes, especially when using wire rigging, make sure to check the equipment beforehand to prevent sabotage. I’ve seen it happen on TV, so you must be careful!"

The middle-aged woman’s unceasing voice was full of concern and worry.

Xia Ningxing’s heart couldn’t help but swell with warmth.

No wonder people say, "There’s nothing like a mother’s love!"

Unable to resist, Xia Ningxing started to act like a spoiled child, hugging her mother’s arm and rubbing against it: "Don’t worry, Mom, I’ll take good care of myself and check the equipment thoroughly."

Seeing her daughter’s childlike behavior, Mrs. Xia’s eyes filled with even more affection. She lifted her warm hand and patted her daughter’s head: "Mom believes Bao’er will be obedient. It’s getting late, so I’ll go now and won’t disturb your rest."

"Mm, Mom, you should sleep early too."

After bidding each other goodnight, Mrs. Xia left Xia Ningxing’s room.

The next day, the Xia family’s driver took Xia Ningxing and her elder brother to the airport.

By the time they arrived, Director Xu and the others were already there.

Ji Haichuan and several other trainees who were going to star in "Tsunami" were also present.

Lu Fan, Ruan Ruanruan, Lin Sisi, and Taozi, although they also came, were only there to see them off.

But Ruan Ruanruan was different; she had directly brought a suitcase and hopped in front of Xia Ningxing like a rabbit:

"Xiaxia, I suddenly realized you don’t have an assistant, so I told Manager Lu that I’ll be your temporary assistant for a while. Since I’m also having writer’s block, going out might help me think up the next part of the plot."

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but cough lightly: "Well, Ruanruan, I already have an assistant."

"Who?" Ruan Ruanruan couldn’t help but widen her eyes.

She wanted to see who had snatched the position of her assistant.

"Hey."

At this moment, her elder brother raised his hand and gave Ruan Ruanruan a bright smile.

All the brothers in the Xia family were extremely good-looking, so Ruan Ruanruan’s slight dejection disappeared in an instant, replaced by a blushing heartbeat.

The third brother couldn’t help but purse his lips and chuckle at the sight of her flushed face.

He found the girl very cute.

He couldn’t help but ask her, "With me working as Bao’er’s assistant, do you still want to come?"

"Yes! Of course, I do!" Ruan Ruanruan blushed and nodded subconsciously, surprised that he would initiate conversation with her.

She still wanted to look at him more!

"Alright, then let’s be Bao’er’s assistants together," the third brother said, unable to suppress a smile.

Seeing his smile again made Ruan Ruanruan feel as though her nosebleed was about to start. She quickly averted her gaze, no longer daring to look at him.

Xia Ningxing glanced at the two of them and immediately sensed there was something intriguing brewing.

However, she wouldn’t interfere too much. After all, the old saying goes that haste makes waste, especially with matters of the heart that can drive people mad with hair loss!

After handling the luggage check-in, it wasn’t long before their plane was ready for takeoff.

...

Three hours later, Xia Ningxing and her group had arrived in Anda City.

The hotel for the production crew had been reserved by Director Xu in a five-star hotel in Anda City.

Director Xu hadn’t wanted to splurge, but Xia Ningxing’s wealthy father insisted on a five-star hotel and even offered to foot the bill.

With the principle that one should not reject a bargain, Director Xu naturally did not refuse.

This hotel was Anda City’s most prestigious, frequented by overbearing bosses and big stars.

The décor was splendid and luxurious, looking like a royal palace.

Many newcomers couldn’t help but take a deep breath, never having imagined they would one day stay in such a hotel.

For Xia Ningxing, however, it was all quite ordinary. She led the way nonchalantly at the front.

Not to mention a hotel of this caliber—she had been to even more luxurious places.

While checking in, Xia Ningxing’s eyes caught sight of a familiar person—Bald Head!

"The bald old man is here too," Xia Ningxing said while gesturing to Director Xu to look at the man known as Bald Head.

"What bald old man?" Director Xu was a bit stunned, but as soon as he followed her gaze and spotted Lv Shun, he immediately understood.

So, Xia Ningxing’s reference to the bald old man was him!

He couldn’t help but chuckle and said, "It’s quite descriptive."

Xia Ningxing slightly curved her lips into a smile.

At that moment, the other party also spotted them.

Lv Shun snorted coldly, his eyes brimming with disdain.

He was curious to see how this Xu Tian, using all newcomers without either fame or acting skills, would manage to make a blockbuster disaster movie!

By his side, Ji Haichuan’s eyes flickered, as if he had seen something.

Xia Ningxing and her colleagues didn’t linger on this interaction too long. After checking in, everyone went to their respective rooms.

Once Xia Ningxing arrived in her room, she first took out her cell phone to send a message home to let them know she was safe.

Then she sent a text to Lu Tingli.

He was overseas on business this time, still on the plane, so a phone call wouldn’t go through anyway.

[Lu, I have arrived safely, no worries, no worries! Heart!]

After sending the message, Xia Ningxing set her phone aside and sat on the bed. She took out the script from her bag and continued reading.
