676 A Million Times for You 38 (1/2)
”Who does he think he is? I told him that I had lost all faith in him, and he said that he would give me everything he has. I was touched to hear his words at first, but my rationality soon kicked in.”
”You're the only person who would think that way. If other women were in your position, they'd jump at the chance and throw themselves at him immediately. But that just goes to show that he loves you for the genuine and non-materialistic woman you are,” said Lin Mingxi, green with envy.
”Let's not talk about him anymore.” An Xiaoning took a seat on the couch and continued, ”Let's have dinner with the directors, producers, screenwriters, and actors tonight.”
”Filming is about to begin soon. I've read the plot and script for the first ten episodes of the drama. It's great. This screenwriter is really something.”
”I've read through it once a few days ago too. It's pretty impressive, I can rest my mind now. I have a hunch.”
”What is it?”
”We'll make big earnings from our investment in this drama series. I trust my judgment.”
”I'm looking forward to it.”
”Missy, here's a parcel for you.” The butler hurriedly handed her a package.
”For me?” An Xiaoning opened the parcel to see that it contained a wedding invite. She then glanced at Lin Mingxi and said, ”It's from the Autumn Palace.”
”You turned down Tuoba Gucheng's wedding invitation previously with the excuse of being severely injured. I doubt you can shun it this time.”
An Xiaoning scrutinized the wedding invite and said fearlessly, ”I'll turn up for it then. What's there to be afraid of?”
”Aren't you afraid that your voice would be recognized?”
”Tuoba Gucheng has already recognized my voice, but Tuoba Danxue merely found it to be a coincidence. As for Tuoba Rui and Shi Xiaoyu, they've both heard me speak when I was a bodyguard at the Autumn Palace. However, I don't know if they can remember it. But even if they do, there's no evidence to prove that I'm Mu Ning. I'll just let nature take its course.”
”You're really calm and fearless, aren't you?”
”Of course. I've always been like this. Didn't you know, my beloved Consort?” An Xiaoning jested.
Lin Mingxi poked her forehead and said, ”Let's go, it's time for breakfast.”

”The acting coach has given you enough tips for now, the rest will have to depend on you. There's a dinner tonight with the directors, screenwriter, and main actors. It'll be your first time meeting the production team members. Remember, talk less and pay attention to what they say for the most bit,” Mei Yangyang instructed.
”Got it. Sis, what if Yan Ge dislikes me?” Fang Erlan asked. She had yet to tell Mei Yangyang that she had already met Yan Ge on her own.
Mei Yangyang reassured her, ”The contracts have already been signed. There's nothing he can do even if he dislikes you. I don't think he will, though. Sis and I both think you're great. Yan Ge may be arrogant, but he's definitely not unreasonable.”
Fang Erlan felt like a heavy rock had been lifted off her chest. She had been familiarizing herself with the character she would be playing in the drama, thus making it much easier for her to get into the role, along with the help of the acting coach. Besides, she had also memorized her lines for the first ten episodes of the drama. This is an opportunity of a lifetime for me, I must treasure it and do my best! she thought to herself, filled with confidence.
”I'll get someone to deliver you some clothes from a luxury label later. I'll also send an assistant to help you out.”
”Thank you, Sis Yangyang.”
”It's only my duty. I'm going out now,” said Mei Yangyang, waving her goodbye.
”Alright.”
After taking a warm shower, Fang Erlan exited the bathroom, clad in a bathrobe. Soon, she heard a knock on the door.
”Who is it?”
”Hello, Sis Erlan. I'm Xiao Yue, your assistant.”
Fang Erlan hurriedly opened the door to see a short-haired girl who then entered with a few sets of clothing. ”Sis Yangyang told me to deliver these to you. They're all brand new. She wants you to pick one to wear to the dinner tonight,” she said with a smile.
”Alright.” After closing the door, Fang Erlan again asked, ”Are you really my assistant?”
”Of course I am.”
