Chapter 9 - 9: Koi Fish Physique (2) (1/2)
In the photo, the woman dressed in plain clothes appeared light as a swallow, her hair swaying in the wind in the midst of her flight. Her lovely features were as graceful as a quiet lotus. In this captured moment, she was like a legend brought to life within a troubled world.
Qiao Moyu didn't notice the shocked expressions of the crowd. She performed another two difficult kicks before wrapping up her performance. She smiled at the director and asked, ”Director Zhang, which action pose do you think is appropriate?”
The man snapped out of his daze and suddenly felt that this girl, who unscrupulously took the role with the Qiao family's influence, didn't seem as bad as he had imagined. He asked the photographer, ”Have you captured every scene?”
The photographer nodded: ”Yes, I've taken all the photos.”
”Qiao Moyu, you don't have to perform anymore. Just choose from any of the poses you've presented for the photoshoot.” The director gave instructions to the others, ”Alright, let's get ready for the first act!”
Just now, everyone had witnessed Qiao Moyu's presentation. The only person who heard the director's voice was Ye Peicheng, who stood alone in a quiet corner whilst smoking. He put out his cigarette and approached this side.
As he passed by, the actor's eyes didn't even stop for half a second on Qiao Moyu's figure. However, Qiao Moyu instinctively felt that Ye Peicheng seemed to be in a bad mood.
Qiao Moyu went behind the cameras and chatted happily with Assistant Xiao and the crew. The ȧssistant obviously became her fan; she began to boast about how stunning the actress was during her performance.
Qiao Moyu laughed. Those were the just some of the most basic moves she learned in her previous life. In that world, people were often bringing her trouble because of her koi fish physique, so she had to practice martial arts alongside her brother since childhood for self-defense. Generally speaking, she was good enough to take down one or two men by herself without breaking a sweat.
Just a few feet away, Xin Yushuang and Ye Peicheng were acting a scene together. Since both were experienced actors, the shooting went very smoothly. In a short time, the two of them were already halfway done.
During the intermission, Xing Yushuang's ȧssistant, Xiao Huan, ran over and handed a box to Xiao Moyu. ”Moyu, Miss Wanshuang is busy getting her makeup retouched. Ye Peicheng wanted her to bring this for him. Would you please head over to the lounge and hand this over to him? It's very important. Film Emperor Ye Peicheng just called and said he wanted it sent to him immediately. Thank you very much!”
Qiao Moyu looked at the box with suspicion.
Since Ye Peicheng needed it a rush, why didn't this Assistant Xiao Huan send it personally instead of leaving her with the errand? Based on the novel's plot, she knew that there must be something troublesome.
However, Xiao Huan left the item beside her and ran off right away, obviously to leave her no chance to reject. And if Ye Peicheng really did need this box urgently, who knows what would happen to her if she delayed.
Qiao Moyu stood up and walked towards the lounge on the other side.
