Chapter 55 - Reconciliation (1/2)

Chapter 55: Reconciliation

Qi Ming thought An Wen was really beautiful, even when she was crying.

Initially, he wanted to retaliate, but the words were stuck in his throat once he looked into her red and puffy eyes. “Let’s try once more,” he could only say.

He satisfactorily filled in the shoes of his role this time around, giving rise to an excellent take.

An Wen had been crying so much that she began to get a headache. With the support of her assistant, she walked to the side to be treated with a cold compress on the eyes. Qi Ming turned toward her direction, but he was instead met with a piercing glare from her assistant.

“Ah Ceng, what do you say about the way I treat An Wen?” asked Qi Ming to his assistant.

Confused, the assistant replied, “Brother Ming, don’t you really dislike her?”

“How did you know?” asked Qi Ming, puzzled.

“It’s too obvious. The both of you don’t really speak to each other apart from when you’re acting, and you’re not cast together in many scenes,” said the assistant.

Qi Ming never thought he had made it so noticeable. If the others could feel it, then surely she must have felt it as well. However, he realized that she had not really complained about it.

Lu Maner told him that An Wen was really terrible in acting, that the girl was merely supported by her sponsors. However, he sometimes cannot help but feel overshadowed by her when they were cast opposite of each other, feeling as though he needed her guidance to get into the right mindset.

He started doubting Lu Maner’s credibility, seeing as the girl in front of him was clearly outstanding and diligent.

“Ah Ceng, go and get An Wen a glass of milk tea,” Qi Ming instructed suddenly.

The assistant seemed to be startled by his words and asked in disbelief, “Brother Ming, are you trying to reconcile with her?”

“Go get it now!” said Qi Ming.

Even An Wen was surprised when being given the milk tea, but she did not forget to thank Qi Ming’s assistant.

Qi Ming was looking right at her. An Wen sent a nod in his direction and smiled gently.

This time around, it was Qi Ming who was taken aback. It was as though the glass of milk tea had resolved all the bad blood between them.

“An Wen is so easy to please,” said the assistant to Qi Ming.
