Chapter 330 On fire

Chapter 330 On fire

Jun was in the kitchen, making breakfast the next morning and pondering over the things Ai told about Yating last night while also clenching the chopsticks so hard that they could break at any time.

Ai Publishing…

The thought of making a company for her shone light upon a lot of incidents that looked weird now like his cheating. It was indeed strange to care so much about Ai on one hand but to suddenly abandon her on the other end.

Thinking about Ai’s complicated expression last night, a perplexed look arose on his own handsome face that defined his beautiful features.

Ai better not be feeling guilty about misunderstanding him. Even if he tried to do something good for her sake, he didn’t tell her for five years! Ai is not a psychic to read his mind, hia gaze darkened.

So all in all, it was still Gu Yating’s fault, he snorted.

“The matter about abandoning Ai and letting her fall that night are still different…” he murmured to himself. “He might have really loved her but would he have not caught her hand when she fell? How could he have kept standing there like a statue and let the woman he loved die!?”

His string of curses broke when his phone rang with a call. He washed and wiped his hands and picked. “Hey, Chyou. Is this about Bro’s laptop?”

“Yes! Your capable friend has scored a jackpot,” she proudly said, “I have repaired the laptop. I have already started running the data recovery software. It will take a while. Once it’s completed, we can access all of Zixin’s files. Once I am done with my shooting today, I will bring the laptop with me and hop by your condo.”

Jun was thrilled with this news. “That’s awesome. I knew I could count on you. If you want, I can come to your set. It will be tiring after your shoot.”

“No need. Plus…” she coughed, “Gu Yating will be coming today too. It’s better if you two don’t meet and avoid turning the film set into a warzone. So, I will meet you separately.”

His gaze darkened. “Is he coming to know about Gu Rong?”

“Yes.”

“Did you find anything?”

“A little bit. I will discuss that too in the evening with you when I drop by.”

“Okay.”



Yating took out his shades as he stepped into the film set where Chyou was shooting. He looked around and caught her figure at the faraway side with the makeup artists around her getting her ready for the scene.

Chyou saw him too and waved her hand, smiling. She mouthed silently to wait for her.

He nodded and leaned on a pillar, keeping his distance from all the cameras.

“Hey, you are here again.”

Yating turned his head and noticed Cheng Yin approaching him. He smiled. “Are you here to meet Chyou again?”

“Pretty much.”

Cheng Yin curiously cocked his brow. “You two seem to be good friends. I never saw anybody meeting her so often who doesn’t belong to the film industry. But she never told me about you.”

It’s actually only my second time on the set, so it’s really not so often…

“Do you like her?”

“Ah?”

“You seem to be awfully affected by my presence,” he smiled.

“Well…”

Yating shrugged. “It’s fine. There is nothing to hide about it. Zhu Chyou has a beautiful heart. She is strong, independent and intelligent. I don’t see a reason why you wouldn’t like her. Rest assured. I am just a friend she is helping with his trouble.”

Though I am not sure about her feelings. Is the man she likes Cheng Yin or somebody else?

If it was somebody else, then Cheng Yin had his empathy. He understood it more than anybody else how it felt to see the woman you like, like another man.

The lights dimmed and the shooting began. Yating watched her performance with awe and respect. She was Zhu Chyou just a second ago, but now she looked like a completely different person. She blended into her character with such ease and finesse.

His lips curled into a smile thinking about the eating competition between them last night. Chyou had won by a wide margin. Feeling victorious, she laughed at his miserable state with all the tears stained on his cheeks as he panted hard.

No wonder she is the Queen.

But when he gave it a deep thought at night, Yating came to realize Chyou’s real intentions. Instead of crying because of alcohol, she let the spiciness bring tears to his eyes. When the tears fell, it wasn’t only because of the tingling sensation on his tongue but also the piercing pain that ripped his heart when he let go of Ai.

Everybody watching him assumed the dumplings were the reason, but only he and Chyou knew what those tears really meant.

He helplessly smiled.

She is really sneaky…

Yating touched his pocket and patted the small gift box it held. Since Chyou was so sensitive and thoughtful about his grief, he decided to appreciate it by giving her a small token of his thanks.

He glanced at Cheng Yin, who was completely mesmerized by her performance. “Have you planned to confess to her?”

Cheng Yin grinned. “I am indeed planning. I am just really nervous about it.”

“Hope for the best.”

He watched Chyou climbing some steps to a platform at a height to shoot the next scene. From the assistant, he came to know that it was an emotional scene where the villain was threatening to jump off the cliff if she didn’t want him to bomb her country.

Chyou in her empress’s character valiantly faced the villain without any fear of her death. “A pity that you will never win.”

The villain laughed at her remark.

Chyou was about to say her next line when she smelled something burning. Her brows automatically furrowed.

What is this smell?

Yating’s nostrils twitched as well.

Is something burning-

Suddenly in a matter of few seconds, a large fire broke out that rapidly spread across the set.

“Ahhhhhhh! Fire!!!”
