Chapter 449: Chapter 447 Continue to Make Up for Me_1

Hearing that, Lu Tingli didn’t doubt her intentions and immediately stood up from his chair, "I’ll go buy it now."

"I want the one from the coffee shop in the east of the city!" Seeing that he agreed, Xia Ningxing immediately handed him the car keys.

The east of the city was an hour’s drive from the shooting location.

By the time he returned after buying it, her stand-in kiss scene had already been shot.

"?" Lu Tingli frowned at her, his sharp gaze seeming to see right through her.

Xia Ningxing swallowed hard and forced an explanation, "Lu, do you think it’s too far? But I, I like the coffee from that shop in the east of the city."

"Lying is not a good habit," Lu Tingli snorted lightly, clearly seeing through the little tricks in her heart. He immediately reached out and knocked on her head, piercing the window paper, "Isn’t it just a stand-in kiss scene that you’re about to shoot? Just shoot with confidence, I won’t mind."

"Really?" Xia Ningxing half believed, half doubted.

"Do you see me as such a petty man? Work is work, personal is personal, I won’t mix them up," Lu Tingli uttered each and every word with righteous indignation.

"Then shall I go?" Xia Ningxing tentatively sniffed.

Lu Tingli urged directly, "Hurry up and go."

Xia Ningxing blinked her eyes and could only steel herself to go.

When it came time to shoot, she took a deep breath and tried to bring out her best performance, hoping to pass in one go.

Song Ze, her acting partner, was very supportive, and they got it in one shot.

Xia Ningxing let out a slight sigh of relief.

After the shoot, just as she got back to the nanny van, Xia Ningxing heard the sound of the car locking.

Click.

The next second, she was pulled into an embrace by a long arm.

As she looked up, she met the man’s cool and clear eyes.

The pupils of Obsidian gleamed with an unusual ghostly light.

"Lu?"

She subconsciously bit her lip, and immediately her lips felt the warmth of his touch.

It was his aggressive conquest.

Like a general clad in armor, charging across the battlefield on his steed, claiming cities as his own.

Xia Ningxing retreated step by step.

At first, Xia Ningxing didn’t understand what was happening, but she quickly realized.

He was jealous!

So much for not minding!

Why did she even believe his nonsense at the time!

Xia Ningxing: "!!!"

She didn’t know how long it took, but he finally released her lips and let go of her wrists.

Xia Ningxing’s eyes welled up with tears, "Lu, you’re bullying me, what happened to not being jealous?"

"When did I get jealous? I just suddenly felt like kissing you," Lu Tingli pursed his thin lips, stubborn as a dead duck, not willing to admit it, and even retorted, "You are my fiancée, can’t I kiss you?"

Xia Ningxing: Hmph!

A month flew by in the blink of an eye, and "The Legend of Ming Consort" wrapped up shooting.

After the wrap party, Song Ze approached her, "Boss Xia, I’d like to offer myself to sign with Giant Star Entertainment, I wonder if you would welcome me?"

"?" Xia Ningxing was startled by his words, but she quickly figured out the reason for his defection.

She asked, "Is it just because your life-saving benefactor is at my company?"

Xia Ningxing folded her arms, with a half-smiling, half-mocking expression.

Yes, his life-saver was none other than a signed artist at her company.

It was also a coincidence that Wei Qing and this artist both had a birthmark on the palm of their hands, which caused Song Ze to mistake the two.

Song Ze said, "Yes, but that’s not the only reason. My contract with my old employer is about to expire, and I’m not planning to renew it. I’ve been lukewarm for many years and the company doesn’t really value me. Even for this script, it was because I had a good relationship with Director Su that I got to play the male lead role. You may not know, but when my company found out I got this role, they felt I was completely unqualified and even wanted me to give it to someone else in the same company!"

"If it weren’t for Director Su’s help, my role would have been forcibly taken away by the company long ago for other actors."

While speaking, Song Ze couldn’t help but laugh at himself sarcastically.

Xia Ningxing was silent.

There was just too much injustice in this industry.

Song Ze waved his hand, "Let’s not talk about these upsetting things. Anyway, I’m looking to change my working environment."

"Giant Star Entertainment might have just started, but backed by Xia Clothing and NX Makeup, and with a smart and wise person like you, Boss Xia, as the chairman, I believe that Giant Star will definitely become the big brother in the circle in the future!"

Song Ze was very confident.

He wasn’t trying to flatter, he truly believed it.

"Not bad, not bad, you’ve got vision!" Xia Ningxing laughed heartily. What boss wouldn’t want their company to be praised for its growth?

"Song Ze, Giant Star welcomes you!"

Xia Ningxing patted his shoulder, agreeing to his request.

Actually, Song Ze was already an actor of high caliber, signing him was a good deal.

If his former employer couldn’t recognise his worth, then she would be his benefactor!

Just as Ji Haichuan stepped out, he heard about Song Ze’s intended move to Giant Star.

He couldn’t help but pause, a sudden sense of loss welling up in his heart.

From now on, he wouldn’t be the most valued actor in her eyes, would he?

Loss.

A deep sense of loss.

"Ji Haichuan?" Xia Ningxing also saw him and noticing his dejected look couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong? Are you not happy? You can rest assured, Song Ze is not the same type of actor as you, his presence in the company won’t conflict with the resources allocated to you."

Xia Ningxing thought that was his concern.

However, Ji Haichuan shook his head, "Boss Xia, you worry too much. The company’s interests are above my own. I’m not so small-minded. I’m not unhappy."

Whether or not there were resources wasn’t actually important to him. What mattered was his status in her heart.

Xia Ningxing looked at him with a satisfied expression, "I wish I had a pile of artists like you!"

Ji Haichuan couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Senior Ji, please take good care of me in the future," Song Ze took the initiative to shake hands with Ji Haichuan.

Then he shook hands with Xia Ningxing as well, "And please look after me in the future, Boss Xia."

With a smile, Xia Ningxing said, "Go for it, I’m waiting for you to create glory for Giant Star."

"We will!"

Both nodded with determination in their eyes.

Afterwards, Xia Ningxing headed back to the nanny van.

As soon as she got on the van, her hand was taken by a pair of warm hands.

Then, a warm towel landed on her hand, and it began wiping her hands continuously.

"Thank you, Lu, for helping me wipe my hands..."

Xia Ningxing’s eyes immediately curved up, as lovely as a crescent moon.

But as she was speaking, she realized something was odd.

Why was she being unexpectedly wiped by such hands?

Were her hands that dirty?

She thought about what she had done.

Well, hadn’t she just shaken hands with Song Ze?

!!!

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "Lu! That was just a polite handshake, are you jealous again?"

Lu Tingli looked up at her with a casual glance, his tone indifferent, absolutely refusing to admit he was the jealous type, "You’re overthinking it. I wiped your hands just because it’s too cold today. I used a warm towel so you wouldn’t get chilblains later on."

Xia Ningxing: "..."

Just keep making it up! Keep going, let’s see if I believe you!
