After Chu Xi slept her fill, she continued to read the script. Although she wanted to accept the “Fate of the Sword Immortal” role more, Gu Pan’er was the third female lead, so she definitely wouldn’t go.

After thinking about it, she dialed Xiao Lele’s number.

“I think the script for ‘Bath of Fire and Phoenix’ is quite good. My feet have already recovered. Help me get an audition.”

“Sigh, actually…” Xiao Lele sighed. “Because we haven’t replied, they have already decided on the female lead.”

“What?” Chu Xi said in shock.

“Don’t be anxious. There’s good news. The production team of ‘Fate of the Sword Immortal’ replaced Lu Pan’er. She’s not the third female lead. They informed me that you can audition for the third and fourth female leads!” Xiao Lele said excitedly.

“That’s great! Go help me arrange it. As long as Lu Pan’er isn’t around, either of these two roles is fine!” Chu Xi was extremely happy.

“There’s no problem, but…” Xiao Lele hesitated.

Chu Xi asked curiously, “What’s wrong? What problem did you encounter?”

At this moment, she was putting on her socks. Although there was a carpet at home, He Yu was still afraid that she would catch a cold. He only allowed her to walk barefoot in the bedroom. She tried to protest, but when she went to the living room barefooted, He Yu caught her and kissed the back of her foot. After that, she changed her habit of walking barefoot and started wearing socks. She had no choice. If she didn’t wear them, he would act like a hooligan.

Xiao Lele said, “There’s no problem. I’m just a little baffled. You and Mr. He are husband and wife, so why is there such a huge difference? So many famous directors begged Mr. He to act as the male lead. Even the roles he turned down have so many big shots fighting over them, but you’re so happy to get an audition for a supporting role.”

“I really feel that I’m a failure. If I were more capable, I could make you an A-list actress. I feel annoyed just talking about it. We’ve clearly received many good contracts and advertisements, but every time we get them, they’d be snatched away within three days. You can only get some lousy roles that are left behind.”

“Chu Xi, do you think someone is targeting you? You’re Mr. He’s wife. Can you get him to investigate and find this person? Otherwise, you’ll keep suffering. How can you ever become famous?”

Chu Xi frowned. “You’re saying that I haven’t become popular because someone is targeting me? Who has the guts to mess with me?!”

At this moment, He Yu came in. “Chu Xi, have you finished your call yet? I made seafood porridge. Do you want a bowl?”

A handsome man stood at the door, his aura elegant and graceful. There was a pink bunny apron around his black shirt, making him look homely yet charming.

With just one look, Chu Xi couldn’t move her eyes away. She immediately decided to eat a bowl of seafood porridge first and put aside her anger! She didn’t know if it was because she couldn’t reject the seafood porridge, He Yu, or both!

Chu Xi finished half a bowl of seafood porridge in a few mouthfuls and suddenly looked up to ask, “Hubby, you’ve won the Best Actor Award. You’re quite busy with work, right? You’ve been at home taking care of me for an entire week. Did you delay a lot of work? I’m fine now. Go out and work!”

Hearing Chu Xi’s words, He Yu suddenly tightened his grip on the spoon. He stirred the seafood porridge in his bowl, but he didn’t put it into his mouth. Clearly, he wasn’t in the mood to eat porridge. After he put down the spoon, he pulled Chu Xi into his arms.

His voice was low and magnetic as he said, “My darling has just recovered, but you already don’t need your husband anymore? Hmm?”

Chu Xi blushed when she heard that and bumped her head against him in embarrassment as she said in a soft voice, “What are you talking about? I-I was afraid of delaying your work!”

He Yu took the spoon from Chu Xi’s hand and fed her a mouthful of seafood porridge. “Work isn’t as important as you.”

In terms of sweet nothings, Chu Xi wasn’t his match at all. She didn’t know how to respond and could only blush as she looked at her ambiguous posture. She was already used to He Yu’s embrace and his meticulous care. If this continued, her limbs would probably degenerate!

They were about to get a divorce previously, but now, because of her injuries, he was taking care of her so meticulously. He was really a good person!

Chu Xi decided that she had to become a woman worthy of He Yu! She had to successfully audition for the fourth female lead role in “Fate of the Sword Immortal”!

That day, Chu Xi held a wooden sword that was personally made by He Yu and practiced sword moves with all her might because the fourth female lead was a sword cultivator.
