Chapter 448: Chapter 446 Are You Unhappy to See Me_1

This time, Xia Ningxing finished shooting successfully without any NGs.

Afterwards, she took advantage of the dimming sky to drag him into a corner for a wall-pin, "Lu! You didn’t call to tell me in advance again!"

"Didn’t I notify you before?" Lu Tingli responded with a question.

Under the gentle moonlight, his face was drenched with a soft tenderness.

Xia Ningxing: "..."

So what would it hurt to notify me again before you came!

Look, you scared me into NGing!

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but look aggrieved.

Lu Tingli’s brows furrowed, "Aren’t you happy to see me?"

"Fine, I’ll leave then."

He had a temper too!

As he spoke, Lu Tingli pretended to be angry and turned to leave.

But anyone with eyes could tell that his steps were extremely tiny.

After so long apart, how could he bear to leave!

He hadn’t even gone home after coming back from the institute; he came straight to the set to find her!

"How could that be! Lu! I’m so happy to see you! Super, super happy!" Xia Ningxing quickly pulled him back and then threw herself into his arms, her eyes and brows brimming with smiles.

Lu Tingli hugged her back, his chin resting on her hair, "I’m happy too."

After hugging for a while, he explained, "I didn’t mean to scare you by pretending to be an extra just now. It was your director who mistook me for one, and that’s what led to the scene earlier, causing you to NG, I’m truly sorry."

"It’s alright." It was just an NG, how could Xia Ningxing possibly blame him.

She was too happy to see him to mind!

"Lu, it’s almost eight o’clock, I’m hungry, let’s go eat." Xia Ningxing suggested with a smile, holding his broad and warm fingers.

Lu Tingli nodded.

The two found a high-end restaurant and opted for a private room.

Xia Ningxing served him food, "Lu, how long can you stay this time?"

As she asked, her voice carried a hint of nervousness, as if she feared he would leave again tomorrow.

"Don’t worry, I have a long holiday this time." Lu Tingli’s handsome face was filled with a gentle smile, like the warm sun of a clear sky and he added, "I guess I’ll be here until you finish filming."

With over a month until the wrap-up, that meant he could spend a whole month accompanying her!

Xia Ningxing’s face instantly lit up with joy, "That’s great!"

But what made her even happier was yet to come.

Lu Tingli then said, "Ningxing, from now on let me accompany you on set, at your beck and call."

"Ah? How could that be!" Xia Ningxing immediately shook her head.

An overbearing boss was an overbearing boss; he should not be doing such menial tasks.

Lu Tingli raised an eyebrow, "Do you despise me?"

Xia Ningxing shook her head frantically, "No no, how could I possibly despise you, I just don’t want to overwork you."

"Taking care of my own wife is hardly overbearing, it’s a delight," Lu Tingli said, looking into her eyes with a tender gaze.

His gaze was gentle, like the twinkling stars in the sky at that moment.

Sweet bubbles of happiness welled up in Xia Ningxing’s heart, and she no longer resisted, "Alright then, I’ll be in your care, Lu."

The next day, Yuanyuan and others noticed an man bundled up tightly beside Xia Ningxing.

A duckbill cap, black mask, sunglasses, and a suit.

Yuanyuan’s eyes were bewildered, she couldn’t help but ask, "Xia, is this your new bodyguard?"

Xia Ningxing immediately spat out her tea.

Girl, have you ever seen a bodyguard looking so dashingly intimidating?

"He’s my partner, his name is Lu." Xia Ningxing spoke up, clarifying Lu Tingli’s identity.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tingli’s lips curled up under his mask, obviously very pleased and happy.

Yet Yuanyuan’s eyes widened with shock and exhilaration as she stared at Lu Tingli, almost star-struck.

Mom!

So this is the renowned, enigmatic, and elusive Overbearing Boss of NL Group that everyone in the business circle talks about!

Yuanyuan never dreamt that she, a nobody, would get to meet such an important figure in her lifetime. If others knew about this, they would probably die of envy and jealousy.

She immediately trembled with excitement as she said:

"I’ve long admired you!"

Yuanyuan bowed frantically to him, as if she was about to break her back.

Lu Tingli: "???"

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but chuckle: "She admires you a lot."

More precisely, the entire business circle admires Lu Tingli immensely, treating him like a legend.

Lu Tingli nodded calmly, unmoved.

Then, with a detached look, he glanced at Yuanyuan, who was still in a state of extreme excitement, and said in an indifferent tone, "You may leave, I’ll take care of Ningxing from now on."

Yuanyuan: "..."

Is he trying to take over her job as the assistant?

This is just too much!

The next second, however, Yuanyuan put on a sycophantic smile and said: "Certainly, Mr. Lu, I’ll withdraw now!"

You don’t mess with the boss’s man.

Time to skedaddle!

Xia Ningxing: "..."

Next, Xia Ningxing had to get her makeup done for filming.

If Lu Tingli said he was going to look after her hand and foot, then that’s exactly what he did.

He looked after every little detail, bringing her tea and water.

Then he picked up her script and started going over it.

When he saw that there was a stunt involving wirework, he couldn’t help but frown.

Thinking of something, he said to Xia Ningxing, "I’ll be out for a bit," and then he strode off with his long legs.

Xia Ningxing watched his retreating figure, puzzled: "Where are you going?"

Lu Tingli had already walked out, so he didn’t hear her.

But very soon, Xia Ningxing found out what he had gone to do.

He went to check the wire equipment!

The prop master praised Lu Tingli upon seeing her: "Senior Xia, you’ve hired a great bodyguard. When he heard you were going to use wirework, he went back and forth checking it dozens of times, worrying about your safety. You must remember to give him a raise!"

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but look up at Lu Tingli, feeling a warm affection in her heart.

He was so meticulous about her safety!

So considerate!

Such a good man!

After sighing in admiration for a while, Xia smiled and nodded to the prop master: "Alright, I’ll be sure to give him a raise."

Once the prop master left, Lu Tingli whispered in her ear: "I don’t want a raise; I want you to be mine for the rest of your life."

What? The rest of... what?

"Rascal!" Xia Ningxing’s cheeks blushed at a visible pace, and after glaring at him, she ran off to film.

Lu Tingli: "..."

He wondered who the real rascal was.

After finishing that scene, Xia Ningxing faced a dilemma with the next one.

A kissing scene, albeit faked for the camera, but Xia Ningxing thought that Lu Tingli would still find it unacceptable to watch in person.

So Xia Ningxing came up with a plan.

"Lu, I feel like having a coffee."

When it’s time to shoot, just send him away and all will be well!
