"Second Young Master, Manager Wu Weitong called and asked if you have time to visit the film set. He has some matters to discuss with you in detail and can’t come over himself," the secretary knocked on the door and entered.
"I know, you can leave now," Leng Yan nodded, picking up his suit.
He knew that recently Wu Weitong was extremely busy, and given that his work was almost done, he thought he might as well go over now rather than later.
This was a time-travel court drama, telling the story of the female lead, played by Ji Wei, who is an impoverished orphan, unexpectedly favored by the young Emperor, and appointed as a Concubine. Unwilling to be bullied, she manipulates power struggles to gradually ascend to the position of Empress. She really liked this drama, appreciating a woman who can achieve everything through her own efforts.
Tong Xi played the Emperor’s sister—Princess Feng Qing, a lively and mischievous character quite similar to her real temperament.
When Wen Nuan arrived, Tong Xi had finished her scenes for the day and wouldn’t have any more filming for two days. As Leng Yan hadn’t arrived yet, Tong Xi went to change clothes, leaving Wen Nuan to watch Ji Wei’s scenes.
Since no one knew her here, at most Ji Wei’s assistant knew she was someone from the MT crew. Tong Xi had already been instructed not to reveal that she was the Leng Family’s Second Young Madam.
At this moment, Ji Wei had just entered the palace and, after bathing and changing into new clothes, was about to be taken by the Empress Dowager for a scolding scene.
Kneeling on the ground in front of the dignified and stately Empress Dowager, tears welled up in her eyes from grievance, but due to her temperament, she held back the tears from falling. Her beautiful and stubborn appearance made Wen Nuan marvel, Ji Wei was truly beautiful and skilled in acting, and if she were to actually cry, she would surely be immensely pitiable.
Sighing internally, she picked up her phone to check the time and then put it back into her bag, preparing to look for Tong Xi when someone called her.
"Assistant Wen," it was Ji Wei’s voice; the scene had passed perfectly, and the director ordered the wrap-up.
"Miss Ji, hello." Wen Nuan gave her a faint smile, "The dress will be ready in a few days, it won’t delay Miss Ji’s attendance at the banquet."
Ji Wei shook her head, "It’s okay, I’m not in a rush. Miss Wen, may I see the Crystal Bear you just took out?"
"Crystal Bear?" Wen Nuan was taken aback; she had accidentally taken out the Crystal Bear while grabbing her phone earlier, but she didn’t expect Ji Wei to notice. But why did Ji Wei want to see it?
"Yes, the blue one. I really like it, could you let me have a look?" Ji Wei looked at her sincerely, still in costume, and Wen Nuan noticed that there was a slight dampness on the hand she extended.
Such an ordinary item, yet she likes it? And she seemed somewhat excited. Wen Nuan looked at her puzzled for a moment but handed the Crystal Bear over anyway.
"Thank you, let’s sit over there." Ji Wei pointed to a relatively secluded spot not far away and smiled at Wen Nuan.
"I once had one exactly ."
Playing with the Crystal Bear in her hand, Ji Wei murmured, as if speaking to Wen Nuan or talking to herself. Her eyes seemed slightly red, her expression appeared somewhat sad.
Wen Nuan suddenly felt a sense of unease, she vaguely felt that something had happened.
"Is that so? This Crystal Bear is quite ordinary, many people have it." She bit her lip slightly, using a calm tone to mask her inner panic.
"Mine wasn’t actually ordinary; it concealed a tragic and sorrowful love story."
Clutching the Crystal Bear in her palm, Ji Wei’s watery black eyes gazed at Wen Nuan, a wry smile on her lips, "Perhaps it’s the sight of it that stirs emotions, but I suddenly want to confide in someone. Miss Wen, would you listen to its story?"
