In the evening, Captain Yu called Yao Xiaoyan and told her that Wang Xiu`er had rescued her and that she was fine. Only then did Yao Xiaoyan relax. She went to bed early in the evening and went to the crew the next morning. She changed her clothes and put on her makeup, waiting for the movie to start.
When Yao Xiaoyan was ready, Shi Jiayin had just arrived. Yao Xiaoyan stood up to give a seat to Shi Jiayin, intending to wait in the chair outside.
"Yao Xiaoyan, I heard that you were not feeling well yesterday. Was it because I was going to take part in a intimate scene with the movie star? You are feeling a little uncomfortable, aren't you?" While Shi Jiayin was putting on her makeup, she called out to Yao Xiaoyan.
Yao Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment before she turned around to look at Shi Jiayin in the mirror. She asked curiously, "Why can't I bear the intimate scene between you and Emperor Dugu?"
"Enough, you know better than I do how the rumors about you and Emperor Dugu Ruo spread, don't you? However, it's fine if you almost failed! " Shi Jiayin sneered.
Yao Xiaoyan was stunned. Was Shi Jiayin suspecting that she was the one who had instigated the scandal?
"Sister Shi, I think you've misunderstood. Why would I want to spread the rumours about him?" Yao Xiaoyan raised her eyebrows coldly. She was already feeling wronged from being scolded, but now she was still claiming that she was creating a scandal?
"If it's not you, then who is it?" Shi Jiayin looked at Yao Xiaoyan with a sharp look on her face.
Ever since she had joined the film crew, Shi Jiayin had always tried to find a way to woo Dugu Ling, but every time she failed to do so. Furthermore, it was clear that Dugu Ling had been taking care of Yao Xiaoyan on purpose or not, which made her extremely jealous.
Especially that day when Young Master Leng proposed the marriage, Dugu Ling couldn't help but step forward. Although it was for the sake of the contract, in Shi Jiayin's opinion, it was just too much of a coincidence. She had even thought several times that Dugu Ling liked Yao Xiaoyan.
Furthermore, considering Yao Xiaoyan's level, as long as she was involved with Dugu Ling, it would be a joke in itself!
She stood in front of Shi Jiayin, looked into Shi Jiayin's eyes and said with absolute certainty, "Sister Shi, I will say it again. In the eyes of others, a scandal is not something that I made up, but in order to gain fame, I would rather not have such a reputation, because I do not wish to be scolded!"
Yao Xiaoyan paused for a moment before saying in a low voice, "If possible, I'd rather stay as far away from him as possible!"
If it wasn't for the fact that Dugu Ling was able to help her chase the ghost away, she would have been more willing to stay away from him. That man's powerful aura made her afraid, and she sometimes resisted in her heart.
The reason Yao Xiaoyan said this was to clarify herself first and also to prove her subtleties.
If only she were not a poor wretch who wanted to live under the protection of others!
Ever since Dugu Ling heard that Yao Xiaoyan would give him the novel last night, he had been in a pretty good mood. Since he was prepared to film early in the morning, he naturally wanted to see her as soon as possible.
He felt that Yao Xiaoyan was in the dressing room, so he headed straight for the dressing room. Not far from the dressing room, he could clearly hear Yao Xiaoyan's words, "If possible, I'd rather stay as far away from him as possible!"
Dugu Ling stopped in his tracks, and his beautiful face stiffened.
Hu Zi was hugging his clothes at the back and his ears had always been sharp. With the distance, Hu Zi could hear everything clearly. His expression changed as he thought to himself, "Mother!"
Dugu Ling sat at the side with a cold face, and Hu Zi rushed into the dressing room.
Shi Jiayin was about to attack Yao Xiaoyan, but when she saw Hu Zi enter the room, she obediently shut her mouth.
Hu Zi looked at Yao Xiaoyan and said, "Miss Yao, my Brother Ling came. You weren't here yesterday. Are you going to compete with him?"
Yao Xiaoyan immediately nodded her head, wondering if Hu Zi had heard what she had said just now. He took two steps forward and looked at Hu Zi worriedly, "Hu Zi, did you …"
"What?" Hu Zi feigned ignorance as he looked at Yao Xiaoyan.
"It's fine, thank you!" Yao Xiaoyan lifted her skirt and headed outside.
"Miss Yao!" Hu Zi then called out to Yao Xiaoyan, "My Brother Ling is not in a good mood today. If you say anything unpleasant, don't take it to heart!"
Yao Xiaoyan thanked him and went out to find Dugu Ling.
Dugu Ling was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. He was expressionless, but the moment he saw Yao Xiaoyan, his eyelashes trembled violently, like a butterfly on the verge of death.
If possible, I'd rather stay as far away from him as possible!
In the past, his Ling'er had said the same thing.
After the incident between the Prime Minister Gao Long Zhi and his twenty-something sons, Gao Yang didn't start a massacre for a very long time, which made Yao Ling'er feel at ease.
At that time, it was very cold in the Northern Qi Ye city. The white, fluffy snow often slowly swallowed up the entire sky. The bone-piercing wind carried the suffocating snow, turning the entire world completely white in the blink of an eye.
Gao Yang went to court on time for a month in a row. He did not care about the fact that he was a mediocre teacher, instead, he hired a large number of capable warriors. With the help of this group of talents, for a time, the East Country flourished with power and prestige, and shook the entire Northern Wasteland.
One day, when he was outside the palace, he heard Yao Ling'er and Empress Li talking. On a whim, he hid outside the palace to listen.
"Ling'er, the Emperor dotes on you in such a way. He has surpassed any concubine in the palace!" Empress Li held Yao Ling'er's hand affectionately and said, "You sure are lucky!"
Yao Ling'er instinctively gripped her fingertips.
Last night, her grandmother had once again told her to think of a way to kill Gao Yang. Previously, her determination to kill Gao Yang hadn't wavered at all, but now, looking at the red plum stuck in a white porcelain bottle by the window, her heart suddenly tightened.
She had gone with Gao Yang yesterday to admire the snow. Gao Yang had picked all of the best plum trees for her. He wore white clothes and had a handsome appearance as he traveled between the red plums. It made her unable to recover her senses for a long time.
Perhaps all along, Gao Yang had been abusing her to a ridiculous degree. These days, he would occasionally become gentle, causing her to feel a wave of pain in her heart.
She must not have any pity for Gao Yang!
"I'd rather not have this fortune!" Yao Ling'er whispered. The people of the world had only seen how much the Emperor doted on her, so who would know the pain in her heart?
She was entangled with a man who clearly knew that she couldn't fall in love with him all day long, yet she still had the heart to kill him. How much pain did she suffer?
Gao Yang stood outside the palace gate, the joy on his face frozen in an instant.
Gao Yang strode into the Spiritual Fortune Hall. Yao Ling'er was startled and quickly got up. She helplessly looked at Gao Yang.
"You don't want the good fortune that I've given you, do you?" Gao Yang asked with a hoarse voice.
Yao Ling'er shook her head as she slowly retreated, her eyes full of pleading.
Gao Yang directly pulled Yao Ling'er into the bedroom and pushed her onto the bed. His rough kiss, mixed with the smell of blood, landed on her lips.
With that violent kiss, he pressed down on her body.
"Yao Ling'er, even if you don't want this luck, you still have to take it!" "I've said that I have the final say between you and I!" Gao Yang said harshly, and a sharp pain spread throughout her body.
Within the Spirit Fortune Palace, a heart-wrenching scream came from a woman, causing all the servants to hide outside the gates.
Empress Li dragged the red gauze out of the Spirit Fortune Palace. Her face was like a hibiscus, soft and yet warm. There was a sweet fragrance in her dainty face, like the rippling of spring water, but her eyes were dark and vicious.
