For a whole week, Leng Yan hadn’t come home. She didn’t know what he was doing, nor did she deliberately ask.
She didn’t want to get hurt again.
"Nuannuan, let’s go."
Lin Xue had already packed her bag, waiting for Nuannuan to go together to the set where Ji Wei was shooting an advertisement. As a top-tier celebrity who was incredibly popular in Mainland as well as Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, Ji Wei had to perform in a movie next, with a packed schedule. They needed to find tiny gaps to become acquainted with her before discussing gown details.
When Wen Nuan and Lin Xue arrived, the advertisement had just finished shooting, and they were tidying up.
"Nuannuan, I’m going to the car to change the battery, wait for me here."
As they were walking in, Lin Xue suddenly received a call, but just as she answered, her phone battery died.
Wen Nuan nodded: "Go ahead, Master, I’ll wait here for you."
Watching her mentor leave, Wen Nuan curiously looked around the studio environment, feeling slightly surprised.
The glamorous background seen in the advertisement, in reality, looked so simple.
Four walls, fabric canopy, studio lights, and makeup tables, shadows, etc. Since they had just finished filming, the place appeared somewhat disorganized.
She turned her body to look at the other side, tripping over something on the floor, Wen Nuan staggered, and at the same time, with a swishing sound, a nearby table she leaned against caused a delicate porcelain vase to fall, crashing to the ground with a loud smash.
"How can you be so careless!"
A sharp voice immediately sounded in her ear, startling Wen Nuan who was already in a panic from breaking something.
"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to." Wen Nuan blushed, quickly apologizing: "I’m really sorry, how much is it, I’ll compensate you."
"Where are your eyes, I just bought this as a birthday gift for my girlfriend, it cost several thousand!"
The other person was a man, yet with an effeminate demeanor, speaking with a limp wrist, pointing at the cup and stomping his foot, exuding a thoroughly feminine air.
"What, this costs several thousand?"
As soon as the other person quoted the price, Wen Nuan couldn’t help but call out: "Are you kidding? I can compensate you, but you can’t extort me."
"Extort?" The man was slightly stunned, disdainfully glaring at her: "If you can’t afford it, just say so, what do you mean I’m extorting you?"
In the dressing room, Ji Wei had just taken some water, preparing to remove her makeup. Hearing the noise outside, she chuckled and asked the makeup artist: "Who’s Little Five planning to extort now?"
Little Five was on the advertiser’s side, someone she’d met before. He was considered a fan of Ji Wei’s, calling her Sister Ji sweetly whenever he saw her, his voice saccharine. However, his character was really not good.
"I don’t know. That girl looks at most twenty years old, seemed to accidentally break Little Five’s newly bought vase."
The assistant glanced outside, telling Ji Wei, then couldn’t help but laugh: "That girl is really pretty, good thing Director Zhang isn’t here, otherwise he’d be all awkward, seizing the chance to get a little touchy."
"Him, heh, full of lust and daring."
Speaking of Director Zhang, Ji Wei couldn’t help but sneer as she stood up.
Every time there’s a new girl auditioning, as long as she has some looks, he always has thoughts, even if he can’t get them into bed, he finds ways to cop a feel.
The makeup artist was surprised: "Not removing your makeup?"
"I’ll wait, I’m going to take a look." Ji Wei smiled mildly, pulling open the curtain for makeup.
"Honestly, I really can’t afford it. But from my perspective, it’s worth at most this much." Wen Nuan held up three fingers, looking at Little Five earnestly.
Little Five blinked, seeming receptive to this figure.
"Three hundred." Wen Nuan enunciated carefully, chuckling silently to herself.
