Early the next morning, Xia Yangyang deliberately got up late.
It wasn’t until after nine that she left her room.
From her extensive observations, Xia Yangyang knew that Gu Qichen was a workaholic who left his house punctually at seven-thirty every morning and didn’t take any vacations.
Xia Yangyang assumed that Gu Qichen must have already left.
As Xia Yangyang was crossing the living room, she heard a deep voice from the side: “Where are you going?”
Xia Yangyang jumped. When she turned her head, she found Gu Qichen sitting on the living room couch.
He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a white shirt and black trousers, with a laptop on his knee, apparently just having been working.
Xia Yangyang had interned at Shengyuan and was frequently called to the CEO’s office.
Therefore, she had seen Gu Qichen working on numerous occasions.
It has to be said, a man hard at work is very charming, especially Gu Qichen, with his naturally irresistible face.
Xia Yangyang paused for a moment, then said, “I’m going back to school. Today is the last professional exam.”
Xia Yangyang did indeed have an exam, but it was in the afternoon.
Gu Qichen offered, “I’ll drive you.”
As he spoke, Gu Qichen was already closing his laptop and standing up.
Xia Yangyang hastily refused, “No need, it’s not far. I can just ride my bike.”
“I’m heading to the company anyway.”
As she sat in the car with Gu Qichen, Xia Yangyang felt awkward.
Eventually, the car stopped.
Xia Yangyang wanted to get out right away, but found that Gu Qichen had locked the doors.
Xia Yangyang looked at him.
Gu Qichen didn’t look at Xia Yangyang. In a deep voice, he asked, “Are you sure you want to take on the TV drama?”
Xia Yangyang stubbornly replied, “Yes.”
Her real purpose was just not to live under the same roof as Gu Qichen.
Xia Yangyang already felt soberly that she was gradually losing herself.
Before it was too late to free herself, Xia Yangyang had to soberly scrutinize and think about the relationship.
As for what would happen in the future, she had not reached a conclusion yet.
Xia Yangyang thought that Gu Qichen would continue to oppose her decision.
However, after a moment of silence, Gu Qichen said, “If you insist, then go ahead. But don’t ever mention divorce again.”
After Xia Yangyang left.
Gu Qichen drove to the Time International Building.
Gu Qichen sat on the sofa, perusing a document with a serious expression.
Shen Shichuan leaned against the office desk, his arms folded. He teased, “Young Master Gu, you’ve been reading the script for two hours now. Any pointers?”
Finally closing the script, Gu Qichen’s face was gloomy: “There are 12 scenes of hugging, 4 scenes of kissing, and a bed scene. Isn’t that too much?”
Shen Shichuan laughed, “So you spent two whole hours reading a script, just to count those?”
Gu Qichen didn’t reply, he just looked silently at the man in front of him.
Shen Shichuan then replied seriously, “Cinderella’s Fantastic Fate is the country’s first major fantasy masterpiece. As the lead actress, Xia Yangyang has a total of 478 scenes and only a few are intimate ones, which is already quite few.”
Gu Qichen said, “For those scenes, a stand-in should be used.”
Shen Shichuan responded, “That may not work. First, this show is directed by Yang Jin who is famously obsessive. Even for previous martial arts dramas, he didn’t allow actors to use stand-ins, let alone this type of youth idol drama. Second, Xia Yangyang, as a newcomer selected from a wide range of applicants, is sure to attract a lot of attention. If she uses a stand-in even for a few intimate scenes, she’s likely to be criticized for being pretentious and acting like a diva..”
