Chapter 191: Chapter 191 Let Me Hold You One More Time

As soon as He Jinxia got off the plane, she spent money to leave through the VIP passage.

The media reporters had already received the news that she would be absent from the next three days of movie promotions in Taocheng City and Fei City. The fans might still be puzzled about what she was planning to do during these three days, but the media definitely understood—

She was undoubtedly returning to Film City to continue shooting "Small Bridge, Flowing Water, People"!

Some actors choose to promote the film when they wrap up their own scenes, and the film’s official blog also reposts the promotions to boost their presence.

As one of the fastest-rising female stars in the past six months, popular and sensational, the crew wouldn’t miss the opportunity to promote her when she wrapped up her scenes. The only reason not to promote would be if she hadn’t finished filming her parts yet.

These days, the media are even shrewder than the stars.

The stars don’t want to be photographed, and the media are eager to snap pictures, creating a natural conflict between them. Their clever and brave competition could be turned into a heart-wrenching story titled "Me and the Paparazzi" (or "Scandals with Stars").

Halfway through the VIP passage, He Jinxia suddenly saw an acquaintance in the corridor, paused, her pupils slightly contracted, and she was stunned.

Why was Sheng Yan here?!

When Sheng Yan heard the noise, he looked up, saw He Jinxia, and a light smile played across his lips as he quickly walked over.

When his warm and firm embrace enveloped her, filling her nostrils with Sheng Yan’s uniquely comforting scent, slightly tangy like summer lemons, He Jinxia finally snapped back to reality—this was no dream.

She couldn’t help but hug him back tightly, which led Sheng Yan to hug her even more forcefully, as if only by melting her into his very marrow could he truly feel her presence.

The lovers, who had confirmed their feelings for each other, had not seen each other face-to-face for at least a month until they embraced, as if this hug could last forever.

Zhang Ming had been staring at his phone for a full five minutes in the suite, waiting for Sheng Yan to come knock on the door to let him out, which made Zhang Ming speculate whether the two had already sneaked out.

But this idea was immediately dismissed by Zhang, as Sheng Yan wasn’t some teenager newly in love. Well, although it was his first romantic relationship, his personality wouldn’t allow him to just leave Zhang behind like that.

Zhang Ming’s thoughts were aimlessly drifting in his mind. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he started to panic, thinking it couldn’t be...

It’s not appropriate in such a situation. If they were photographed, it would be...!!

Zhang Ming couldn’t sit still any longer. He quickly stood up, opened the door of the suite, and saw the two embracing in a corner.

His heart immediately relaxed.

As He Jinxia was hugging, she heard some noises and couldn’t help but move her head to look, shrinking her pupils again.

With Sheng Yan’s entire focus on He Jinxia, he tightened his embrace when he saw her moving, placed his hand on her head, leaned over, and hoarsely whispered in her ear, "Don’t move, let me hold you a bit longer."

He Jinxia: "...Your agent is right beside you."

This time it was Sheng Yan: "..."

From exiting the airport to getting in the car, Sheng Yan had been wearing a grim expression, his face exuding a chilly aura, while the piercing cold looks he sometimes gave Zhang Ming made his heart skip.

After holding back for a long while, Zhang Ming nervously muttered quietly, "Brother Yan, it’s not like I did it on purpose. I was just worried you might be caught by the paparazzi, so I rushed out to check..."

Sheng Yan, sitting next to him, responded with a chilling glance and his lips parted to utter two words: "Shut up."

Zhang Ming: "..."

"Alright, alright, he’s not saying anything anymore, not a word!"

But that whole aura of dissatisfaction, can it stop targeting him?

It’s quite terrifying!

Meanwhile, after leaving through the VIP passage, He Jinxia smoothly met up with Luo You.

After getting into the car, Luo You asked curiously, "Jinxia, weren’t you using the VIP passage? Why did you come out later than Xiao Hua?"

He Jinxia paused for a moment and calmly said, "I felt unwell after I came out, so I spent quite some time in the restroom."

Influenced by Sheng Yan, the honest and cute Jinxia too walked further and further down the path of lying, refining her acting to perfection.

Luo You didn’t think too much and said, "’Small Bridge, Flowing Water, People’ has been sending me messages two days ago wanting you to come back, but Dong Qiin was unwilling to let you go.

I shifted your schedule to five days later. You can rest for a day and then come back to shoot the closing scene. It’ll be hard on you, but the peak blooming period for peach blossoms is brief, so we can only delay it for that long.

Unexpectedly, the ’Chen Xiaohui’ crew then broke the news about Li Li, which made Dong Qiin willing to let you have a few days off."

He Jinxia looked down in thought, tapping her fingers lightly before turning to look out the window.

It wasn’t hard to understand why Dong Qiin suddenly gave her a break. Previously, the movie’s promotions were centered around her as the main character. The media and reporters were drawn by her popularity; she was indispensable.

But due to the influence of Li Li and Wu Daxi, her main status was suddenly suppressed, leaving her without much presence.

Rather than that, it was better to give her a few days off to handle work matters, letting her avoid the limelight and wait until the hype around Li Li and Wu Daxi had died down. Then she could return to the crew and bring the media’s focus back to the movie.

As the car was moving, Luo You’s phone suddenly rang. He picked it up using his Bluetooth headset, and after a brief conversation, his expression became serious.

"Yes, Jinxia has a three-day break, and after she’s done, she still has two days."

"No, no, no, you are worrying too much. You have to believe in Jinxia’s professional integrity, she is absolutely capable, she has never blown a scene, never!"

"Alright, the schedule isn’t a problem, I assure you, not the day after tomorrow, but by tomorrow afternoon she can be at your place!"

"Ah, okay, I understand, thanks, brother!"

A flash of excitement crossed Luo You’s eyes as he hung up the phone and glanced at He Jinxia in the rearview mirror, excitedly saying:

"Jinxia, a very important opportunity has come your way. If handled properly, it could significantly elevate your status in the industry!"

He Jinxia was momentarily stunned, and so was Cheng Xiaohua, who turned her head to exchange a surprised look with He Jinxia.

Frowning in confusion, He Jinxia asked, "Brother Luo, are you referring to..."

Luo You didn’t beat around the bush and directly said, "Know who just called me? It was Director Li’s assistant. He asked if you were available to act as a dancer in a palace, Director Li is shooting a movie and needs a dancer. The movie he is filming is the same one Sheng Yan is working on—’World’!"

Cheng Xiaohua’s mouth fell open. She stuttered, "The, the one Emperor Sheng is shooting?"

Luo You nodded emphatically.
