57 Concubine Xi And Her Maid

'Gu Yechen was about to say no

but after some thought

he smiled

”Okay.”'

'He Xinyan happily hopped out of bed

washed her face

and brushed her teeth with the materials Gu Yechen had prepared for her

then went downstairs.'

'Ten minutes later

Gu Yechen came down into the kitchen. He wrapped his arms around He Xinyan's waist from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder.'

'”Oh my

you really walk without any sound!” He Xinyan gasped as she accidentally poured too much egg mixture onto the pan.'

'Gu Yechen looked at the uneven chunks of carrots and onions and closed his eyes to continue to sleep on He Xinyan's shoulder.'

'He Xinyan awkwardly finished cooking and carried her final product onto the dining table

”Try it!”'

'The omelette roll did look a little better than last time

and Gu Yechen hesitantly took a bite.'

'”How is it?”'

'This time

Gu Yechen was going to break He Xinyan's little bubble so that both of them wouldn't have to suffer anymore

”Try it.”'

'Gu Yechen used his chopsticks to pick up another piece and fed it to He Xinyan. After chewing only once

He Xinyan spit her disgusting food out.'

'”Ew! What in the world is that? It tastes disgusting!”'

'Gu Yechen laughed and ate another piece himself.'

'”Why are you eating? Stop eating

I'll go throw it away.” He Xinyan stood up to go dump the food into the trash can

but Gu Yechen stopped her.'

'”I like it.”'

'”. . .”'

'”I like anything you make.”'

'He Xinyan's mouth fell open as she watched Gu Yechen clear the plate

”Hm. . . I don't think I”m going to cook anymore.”'

'Gu Yechen chuckled

”Good choice.”'

'In the end

they ordered delivery food and ate a happy breakfast before He Xinyan returned home. The filming today started late at night from 9:00 P.M. all the way into midnight.'

'They were going to film the day scenes using lights because the night time was more quiet and suitable for filming.'

'At night

He Xinyan left for filming before Li Yuyan did and she arrived with Wu Minger at 8:50. After finishing her makeup and costume

He Xinyan walked into Gu Yebei's private resting room with Wu Minger without even knocking.'

'Gu Yebei turned around with an angry expression to see who was rude enough to barge into his room without even asking. However

when he saw He Xinyan

his expression immediately changed as he jumped up from his chair.'

'”Sister in law

sit down

sit down.”'

'He Xinyan crossed her arms together and casually sat down on Gu Yebei's chair.'

'”Sister in law?” Wu Minger asked in surprise

”You're Mr. Gu's brother?”'

'Gu Yebei turned around to look at Wu Minger with a smile

”Yep! Surprising

right?”'

'Wu Minger's expression changed slightly as she stared blankly at the wall ahead

'Gu Yechen's brother? So he is also part of the Gu family then. . .''

'”Minger

what's wrong?” He Xinyan asked when she noticed that Wu Minger had zoned out.'

'”Nothing

nothing!” Wu Minger snapped out of her stupor and squeezed out a smile. A few minutes later

there was one quick knock at the door before Yang Siyue walked in.'

'”Gu! Ye - Oh

little Yanyan is here too!” Yang Siyue ran over in her empress gown and pushed Gu Yebei away so she was sitting on the small chair next to He Xinyan.'

'”Yanyan

we have a scene together today! Do you want to practice the lines together?”'

'”Sure!” He Xinyan smiled as she flipped to the scene with Yang Siyue.'

'They didn't get much time to practice together before filming started. The beginning of filming went by very smoothly and they were on the last scene by 1 A.M.'
