Chapter 41 - Troubles On Set (2)

“Sister, did you really think that the Prince only took you as the Main Wife for your family’s power and influence? Haha...” a woman in a pink robe laughed as she used her hand to cover her face. Soon after, she continued, “My dear sister, since you’ve already married into the Prince’s Residence, you shouldn’t be so naive. Otherwise, you’ll only grow more miserable.”

Shen Wei’an was sitting in the pavilion wearing a crimson robe, a wooden hairpin placed in her jet-black hair. For this scene, a small amount of powder had been applied to her face to give her the look of a natural beauty.

She was simply dressed, yet she carried an air of elegance.

However, Lan Jinyao knew that, in reality, this woman was nothing like this. She was vain, treacherous, and would resort to anything for the sake of climbing up the social ladder.

At the moment, Lan Jinyao was still laughing with an arrogant expression.

“Sister, do you want to know what’s in the Prince's mind? If you want to know, then come over here, and I’ll tell you!” She beckoned Consort Pingyang over with her finger.

Consort Pingyang tightly clenched her hands into fists and trembled, her eyes welling up with tears as she walked over. Holding back her tears, she said to Jinling, “Jinling, tell me, why did the Prince marry me? The person he really likes is you, right? He’s b-blaming me for ruining the relationship between you two, right? Tell me, am I right?”

When Jinling looked at the woman standing before her, her lips curled up to reveal a sinister smile. “Since you’re insisting, I’ll tell you!”

When Li Qi, who was standing outside, saw Lan Jinyao displaying this kind of expression, he felt a shiver run down his spine. Even his goosebumps were standing straight up.

He patted the shoulder of the person standing next to him and said softly, “Chen Meimei’s aura sure is powerful! If it weren't for her face, I’d have thought that our Jinyao was back.”

The person next to Li Qi just muttered a ‘mhmm’ in response. His voice was deep and magnetic; like the suave resonance of a cello.

He turned his head to look at the person who’d responded, but he was instantly left speechless. To think that the person silently standing next to him was President Fu! Li Qi then swept his gaze around the set and, as expected, the rest of the filming crew had already fled to a safe distance; leaving him alone with President Fu.

“Haha, President Fu, you’re here!”

Fu Bainian gave a cursory glance and nod to Li Qi before moving his line of sight back to the pavilion. His gaze was intense and fixated on the scene before him.

Consort Pingyang slowly approached Jinling without a second thought, completely unaware of the imminent danger ahead. The smile on Jinling’s face gradually deepened, and an eerie look was visible in her eyes.

However, it was extremely apparent that although Shen Wei’an had read the script ahead of time and knew what was about to happen next, she couldn’t help but reveal a tinge of fear. As a flop actress, she didn’t know how to control her emotions. She felt afraid and froze for a split second, but that small motion of hers didn’t escape Chang Sheng’s sharp eyes.

“Cut, cut, cut!! Shen Wei’an, what are you doing?! Your sixth sense has been awakened, huh? You knew that Jinling was going to hurt you, so you became scared and froze. Let’s do it all over again! This time, control your emotions better!”

Lan Jinyao looked at Shen Wei’an with a bright smile plastered on her face. Then, stroking her chin, Lan Jinyao said, “Wei’an, did I scare you earlier with my expression? Haha, when I’m serious and too much into my character, even I’m scared of myself.”

Her words carried the hint of a double-entendre.

Shen Wei’an stared at the plump face in front of her and felt a tinge of rage rise in her heart. Shen Wei’an didn’t know why, but recently, whenever she saw Chen Meimei, she would invariably end up being led by the nose. Didn’t everyone say that Chen Meimei couldn’t act? Then, what was that just now?!

Lan Jinyao moved closer to Shen Wei’an, smiling as happily as before. Looking at her innocently, Lan Jinyao asked, “Wei’an, why aren’t you responding? In the future, let’s do our best together! Director Shen promised me that if I perform well, he’ll invite me to a feast! I'm so happy! Tell me, do you think that Director Shen has fallen for me?”
