She pressed her lips together, momentarily unsure how to respond.
After a while, she looked away, unintentionally picking up her cup, "Not necessarily."
Qi Hanyu slightly curled his lips, chuckling softly, "Teacher Gu is so busy, I can't help it. Since I want to pursue you, I can't just do nothing."
Qi Hengli was right, if he didn't take initiative, he'd never have a chance.
Gu Zhi almost choked on his words, her heart seemed to skip a beat, and she tightened her grip on the cup.
After a moment, she changed the subject directly, "Not busy lately?"
"It's fine, not as busy after the filming wrapped up," Qi Hanyu replied, his gaze flickering over to the thick script on the table beside them. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "How about you, are you exhausted from filming these days?"
"It's alright, I'm used to it." This level of intensity wasn't much for her; she was already adept at it.
Qi Hanyu nodded, glanced at his watch, and said with pressed lips, "Let's have a simple lunch together, I ordered some food, let's eat with everyone."
Gu Zhi didn't have any objections, since she was there, eating was no problem, especially with the entire cast and crew.
She took the time while waiting for lunch to go over the script, and Qi Hanyu didn't go anywhere either, sitting quietly beside her watching, with a smile on his handsome and gentle face that even he wasn't aware of. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on NoveI[F]ire.net
Meanwhile, those around them were beside themselves with excitement.
Emperor Qi was indeed visiting Teacher Gu on set!!
Visiting the set was one thing, but he did absolutely nothing, just quietly sat by and accompanied Teacher Gu in reading the script!!
Occasionally discussing a line or two, doting and patient!
The group was so excited they could hardly restrain a scream, handsome men and beautiful women were indeed pleasing to the eye!
What a pity such a beautiful scene could only be seen by them, unable to be captured and shared with netizens.
And online, the netizens had already gone mad with excitement.
The news of Qi Hanyu visiting the "Little Alley Lady" set had long been leaked online by paparazzi, spreading across the web.
Despite Zhang Hong's production team having extremely strict confidentiality, they could not withstand the overwhelming number of paparazzi trailing Emperor Qi.
Zhang Dachui: The reunion of the benefactor and Qi! It's reported that Emperor Qi appeared today on the set of director Zhang Hong's "Little Alley Lady" to visit, and the lead actress of the production is Gu Zhi.
A mere short video instantly rocketed to hot trending searches.
"Ahhh, is this for real? Is my benefactor and Qi finally reunited? When's the wedding? When are the kids coming?"
"Emperor Qi is obviously visiting his wife on set, ahhh @QiHanyu don't fall too deeply in love!"
"@GuZhi @QiHanyu if you two are going to date, please do it properly, aim for having two within three years /scream."
"Sweet enough to kill me this early, who fainted from excitement not saying it was me."
But the hardcore fans of both sides were furious seeing this video, refusing to acknowledge it.
"??? Is our Zhi Zhi the only person in the entire 'Little Alley Lady'? Female star working hard on filming, leave her alone."
"As everyone knows, Emperor Qi and Director Zhang Hong are old acquaintances, Emperor Qi is clearly visiting Director Zhang, @ZhangDachui stop making stuff up."
"Both of these actors are outstanding in their own right, developing their own careers, no spreading or believing rumors, thank you."
Yet the CP (couple) fans were too deep in their fervor to accept that, they retorted one after another:
"Tsk, did Emperor Qi and Director Zhang just meet yesterday? Why didn't he visit the set before but now that Gu Zhi is in the crew, he came for a visit?"
"Ridiculous, does the intention Emperor Qi showed on the show before still need me to point it out? It's so obvious!"
"Stop it, hardcore fans, the main actors are together, why don't you just go with the flow."
