Chapter 9

The crew had prepared a room to be used as Jiang Yi's private lounge. Unlike yesterday's office that was used to shoot his scenes, this room was a private area. Jian Wei subconsciously held her breath when she went inside.

However – probably because he had just joined the crew – there wasn't much of his personal stuff inside the lounge. At that moment Jian Wei suddenly perceived an acrid smell. Sher looked up and saw Jiang Yi standing near the window, taking a call with a cigarette in his hand.

Although Jiang Yi usually showed an indifferent att.i.tude, in many aspects he was also quite headstrong. For example, although smoking was considered to be taboo and many male starstried not show that side to the public as much as possible, Jiang Yi was not the same. He seemed to be unconcerned about losing fans because of it. He even took a photo and confidently put it on his Weibo with the caption, 'I like to do this '.

Because of that, Jian Wei had known from early on that Jiang Yi was a smoker. As it was the first time that she had seen it with her own eyes, she couldn't help but look at the scene curiously. A faintly smoking cigarette was sandwiched between the man's slender fingers. He was silently listening to the person on the phone before he finally couldn't tolerate it anymore and interrupted, ”You said you can't do anything about it,so I don't have to put up with your nonsense any longer.”

Jian Wei was biting her lips and she could feel her heart beating so fast that she couldn't breathe. (*/w＼*)

Jiang Yi hung up the phone call, then extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray before he turned to look at Jian Wei. Originally she was just letting her imagination running wild, but just a look from him caused her to become nervous once again.

He called her name, ”Jian Wei.”

Jiang Yi's voice was deep and low, his chest slightly reverberates when he speaks: the perfect ba.s.s sound.

Jian Wei never thought that her name could cause her to feel this jittery.

”Here! Lin Hao ge said, you have something to ask me?”

In fact, she's a little bit confused. What could he ask her about? Is it&h.e.l.lip;

Jiang Yi: ”Did you meet with Zhou Peipei yesterday?”

Sure enough, Jian Wei nodded, ”Yes, how did you know?”

Because of the hotel employee a.s.sumed that Zhou Peipei had forgot to bring her room card, he had helped her open the door and retrieve the cat.

He didn't answer and kept stroking his chin. Seeing this, Jian Wei seemed to understand his intention and obediently told him, ”Yesterday evening, I met with Zhou laos.h.i.+ inside the elevator. Turns out she had already guessed that I was hiding under your desk in the office yesterday morning&h.e.l.lip;”

Lin Hao was surprised andasked, ”You were hiding under the desk? Why would you hide under his desk?”

Jian Wei suddenly remembered that there were still other people inside this room and that her own words were rather ambiguous. Her face turned red. Lin Hao turned to look at Jiang Yi in disbelief, as if he was seeing a beast.

Jiang Yi met his eyes with a faint smile, ”Now, do you want to ask the questions, or should I ask?”

Lin Hao waved his hands, ”Of course, you should ask. It's not appropriate for me to ask about it.”

Jian Wei: ”&h.e.l.lip;”

She tried to give an excuse, ”Lin Hao ge, it's not` what you think&h.e.l.lip;”

”Don't bother about him. You can continue,” interrupted Jiang Yi.

Jian Wei: ”&h.e.l.lip; Oh, okay.” Following her idol's order, she immediately concentrated on recalling the event, looking just like when Yuan Gulu was staring at an incense jar, unmoved no matter how many times she called the cat. ”Back then, Zhou laos.h.i.+ misunderstood my relations.h.i.+p with you and she also saw my face. After we separated, I found out that the cat was missing, so I went to her room to find her.”

Jiang Yi squinted his eyes and with his hands inside his pockets, he went to stand in front of Jian Wei, ”And then?”

The man was so tall that Jian Wei's height only reached his chin. When he looked down, she suddenly felt an infinite pressure. She didn't dare say anything else and cleanly confessed, ”But she was already gone. Not only that, there was a smashed vase inside the room. Didn't Zhou laos.h.i.+ come back last night? Otherwise, I'll worry that something might have happened to her&h.e.l.lip;”

Jiang Yi didn't speak for a few seconds after listening to her words. He walked back to the desk and picked up a cigarette. The next second, he suddenly realized that the there was a girl inside the room, and put the cigarette back.

Realizing that Jian Wei was also looking at him, Jiang Yi lounged against the table with his hands on either side of him as he smiled and said, ”You guessed correctly. Zhou Peipei is gone.”

Two hours ago, Lin Hao received a call from Bai Lu, saying that Zhou Peipei didn't return to the hotel since last night. Originally, she had given a call to Bai Lu, saying that she had important things to deal with and suggesting that Bai Lu should help her deal with the crew here. At that time Bai Lu agreed to do so, but as time pa.s.sed, she still hadn't returned and her phone didn't connect, so Bai Lu finally panicked.

She didn't dare immediately alert Zhu Jing, so she went to Jiang Yi first. After all, although there had been some conflicts between them, they were still from the same company and would always give help.

Everyone understood that if Zhou Peipei didn't show up at the awards ceremony this evening, it would create a big problem.

Jian Wei was a little bit surprised that her own premonition was actually fulfilled: Zhou Peipei really did run away?

The next second, she suddenly reacted. If Zhou Peipei wasn't found, what they were going to do about this evening thing?

My gege would go to the red carpet with whom?!

Lin Hao scratched his head worriedly, ”Yi ge, there's no other way. We've asked everywhere, no one seems to know where Zhao laos.h.i.+ is. I think we should let Jing jie know about this matter. This thing is too big, there's no way we can handle it&h.e.l.lip;”

”Tell me about what?” The lounge door was opened, and the short middle-aged womanstanding in front of it coldly asked the question.

Lin Hao s.h.i.+vered nervously, ”Jing&h.e.l.lip;Jing jie! How come you are here?!”

The woman was indeed Zhu Jing. Originally Lin Hao had thought that she was at the company, and never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that she would appear directly in the studio. And from the look on her face, it seemed clear that she was already aware of the Zhou Peipei matter.

Sure enough, Zhu Jing took a big step and with a 'SNAP', she slammed her handbag on the table. ”You really have great courage, even daring to hide this thing from me! If Bai Lu didn't tell me about it on the phone, I'd be kept in the dark until the end!”

Bai Lu ah Bai Lu, you really are not reliable! We even helped you to hide the secret, so how could you drop the bomb first?!

Lin Hao cursed in his heart while giving Zhu Jing a pleasing smile, ”We were afraid that you would rush over here, so we tried to solve it first before notifying you.”

”So, did you find the solution?” mocked Zhu Jing.
