Chapter 667: Chapter 676 My Beloved (5)

However, when she arrived at the film set, Jian Anning still had some things to take care of, such as reporting last night’s events to Director Li and dealing with the fan forums and Weibo. Fortunately, last night’s incident hadn’t brought Yu Zexiao into the limelight; all the reporters were circling around Lu Jiayuan, which was a small piece of luck amidst the misfortune.

On set, Yu Zexiao and Lu Jiayuan were acting out an intense scene. Coincidentally, they were filming a moment where the conspiracy of Lu Jiayuan’s character, the second male lead, was exposed, and the two were having an argument. This scene suited Yu Zexiao’s wishes perfectly! It was as if he was ready to roll up his sleeves, put his hands on his hips, and thoroughly berate Lu Jiayuan!

Maybe it was because he was so immersed in his role that this scene, when aired later, was even more shocking to the audience than the passionate "kiss" between the main male and female protagonists. Yu Zexiao’s fan club "Moyu" even exclaimed, "Damn, who says our Zexiao has only good looks and a great voice without any acting skills? Open your eyes and see how well Zexiao performed in this scene!"

Ahem, of course, this was all in the future. After this scene was shot, they took a break. In the afternoon, there was a scene with just Lu Jiayuan first, followed by Yu Zexiao’s part. When it came time to eat, Jian Anning picked up meals for both of them. Even though they ate together when he returned from shooting, she didn’t cast a single glance his way.

This obvious behavior stunned Lu Jiayuan!

Did their conflict mean that he had a chance to make a move?

The very thought sent him into elation!

--------------------

After the meal, they needed to set up the next scene, which required assistance from a stagehand or similar staff. Because Xiaoliu was sick and absent, their work was a bit slower than usual. While the crew was relaxing and enjoying their break, Jian Anning, having finished her meal, silently started to clean up their lunchboxes.

Yu Zexiao felt stifled inside. He knew all too well that last night’s incident wasn’t really her fault. On one hand, he was sick of seeing Lu Jiayuan clinging to her, and on the other hand—since their relationship had started, Jian Anning might not have been entirely compliant to him, but she was definitely very gentle and usually agreed to what he wanted in the end.

But last night, she actually got angry with him, which annoyed him immensely! Clearly, you were considering someone else last night (no matter who it was), you put my matters on the back burner. I chased after you late at night and even paid Xiaoliu’s medical expenses, and what did I get? You were with Lu Jiayuan, and when I got a bit upset, you turned cold on me!

Women, if not disciplined for three days, they’ll tear the roof down! He shouldn’t indulge her temper; he had to make sure she behaved and obeyed! Yu Zexiao’s male chauvinism was strong indeed!

But what he hadn’t realized was that if he wasn’t hovering over her vigilantly, someone else already had their eye on her, waiting for them to fall out so they could swoop in and take advantage!

His gaze rested on Jian Anning, who had just finished her meal and casually stood up to walk it off, apparently to aid digestion.

Lu Jiayuan glanced over, and noticing that Yu Zexiao wasn’t looking in her direction, he immediately followed her.

They arrived at a secluded area where the crew stored props. It was usually managed by Xiaoliu, but since she was at the hospital, the supervision here was naturally lax.
