Chapter 505: His Private Property
Translator:?Larbre Studio?Editor:?Larbre Studio
Peng Sicheng paced back and forth, visibly struggling with himself. Finally, he asked, “Were you there when Director Huang proposed?”
“Yeah.”
Xu Xiyan did not know that Peng Sicheng had once been in a romantic relationship with Qi Liya.
“He proposed for real? And Qi Liya agreed? It isn’t some kind of publicity stunt for her new show?” Peng Sicheng asked all three questions in one breath.
Xu Xiyan laughed. “Oh, you’re so funny, Director Peng. Of course it was a real proposal, and yes, she agreed. It isn’t a publicity stunt.”
Peng Sicheng was now visibly upset. He mumbled to himself, “How did she end up with him? What’s so great about Huang Guoqiang, the old fart? She’s a...”
He wanted to say “she’s a flower stuck onto a pile of cow dung, what a waste,” but managed to stop himself just in time.
All this while, Peng Sicheng had subconsciously considered Qi Liya to be his private property.
He had assumed that there had been zero gossip about Qi Liya’s love life since their breakup because she was still pining over him.
He had assumed that all he had to do was beckon to her, and Qi Liya would happily get back together with him.
Before Xu Xiyan stepped out of the meeting room, she turned to look at Peng Sicheng and was surprised by his strange behavior. The director was obviously restless: he kept picking up his phone and then putting it down again. Once, he threw the script in his hand against the wall.
Xu Xiyan was confused. What was up with Peng Sicheng?
Why was he in such a bad mood? What, did men suffer from PMS too?
...
It was already close to 10 o’clock when Xu Xiyan was finally done shooting her night scenes.
As Xu Xiyan was packing up and getting ready to leave, Ma Haodong walked over to her. “Let’s go, Jing Xi. I’ll drive you.”
Xu Xiyan politely declined his offer. “That’s okay. I drove here today.”
“Can’t you let me do you a favor?” Ma Haodong whined. He wanted to do something nice for her so she would feel obliged to meet with Xiao Yuqian as soon as possible.
Xu Xiyan knew what he was trying to do. She smiled and said, “I want to, but I don’t want my man to get jealous.”
“You mean Ni Yun?” Ma Haodong asked.
Ma Haodong guessed that she was referring to Ni Yun because she had previously told him that the person she loved most was Ni Yun.
Xu Xiyan laughed, but said nothing. She slung her backpack over her shoulder and walked off the set. Ma Haodong chased after her, feeling a little left out. “Hey, when are you going to introduce me to Ni Yun?”
