91 Counter-attack (2/2)

Princess De laughed as if she had heard a really good joke. ”Me, jealous? Jealous that you have that disgusting old man’s favor?”

”Princess De! You… are you crazy? I’ll tell the Emperor! I'll tell the Emperor that you were being insulting…”

Princess De suddenly looked at her with somber eyes, silencing Princess Xian. Then she said, very slowly, ”Princess Xian, do you know who I am? Do you still remember… the name Meng Changge?”

”You… you… you…” Even after a long while, Jia Qingqing couldn’t say anything more than that.

Guo Qisheng yelled ”Cut”: ”Again!”

The second take started.

”Princess Xian, do you know who I am? Do you still remember… the name Meng Changge?” This time, Ning Xi’s eyes were sharper than in the previous take, like a hangman’s noose strangling the other party to death.

”You… you are… are…”

”Stop, again!”

The third take started.

”Princess Xian, do you know who I am? Do you still remember… the name Meng Changge?” With each take, Ning Xi’s mood had become more and more intense. This time, she said the line in the tone of a malevolent, vengeful spirit, and even the people watching could feel her endless, overflowing anger and resentment.

”You… you’re Meng Changge? How can you be… be… be…” Jia Qingqing was like a stuck radio, and she forgot the words yet again.

”Cut!” Guo Qisheng finally lost his patience this time, and he dropped the script in a furious temper. ”Jia Qingqing, what's the matter with you? You can't even recite such a simple line, have you even read the script at all?!”

Guo Qisheng really couldn’t be blamed for his anger; Ning Xi’s mood this time had been so amazing, he couldn’t help but be excited. He could have had the perfect take, but it was ruined by Jia Qingqing's idiotic mistake.
