Chapter 35
Pei Chiyao did not want to speak. He carefully buttoned up Zhi Yao's coat - the early autumn morning was a bit chilly.
Zhi Yao had been kicking off her blankets all night, so he did not sleep well.
In the end, he had to lock her in his embrace before she finally settled down.
Seeing Pei Chiyao not speaking, Zhi Yao thought he was feeling guilty. "I'm not even angry at you, so why are you angry at me?"
The little girl glanced at Pei Chiyao. Seeing that he was still ignoring her, she felt extremely upset.
After thinking for a while, Zhi Yao still stretched out her hand and carefully pinched his sleeve, shaking it and saying, "Don't ignore me, I won't get angry at you in the future."
She didn't like Pei Chiyao being like this, she didn't like him ignoring her.
Zhi Yao bit her lip and disregarding the driver in front, dove straight into Pei Chiyao's arms, rubbing against him. "Pei Chiyao, Pei Chiyao, Pei Chiyao..."
The little girl really had a way of grinding someone down. Her whole person was nearly sitting on him.
Pei Chiyao helplessly rubbed his temples. "Yao Yao, sit properly!"
"No!"
Zhi Yao justified herself, "Unless you tell me why you're angry!"
She had thought hard about it yesterday but still could not figure out why. It seemed like Pei Chiyao was fine before she went to take promo photos. How could she have angered him?Foolloow new stories at novelhall.com not angry." Pei Chiyao gently sighed.
His thoughts were so complicated, how could Zhi Yao understand?
"Yao Yao," Pei Chiyao changed the subject, "later when the car stops, there will be many reporters outside, don't be scared."
Reporters?
Zhi Yao had heard of this profession before. "Are those the people running around carrying shiny stuff?"
Her description made Pei Chiyao laugh. "Yes. Later the driver will drive the car into the set, we won't get out of the car."
If the two of them were photographed getting out of the same car, it would be hard to explain clearly again.
Moreover, reporters were so difficult to deal with. Being questioned aggressively by them would surely scare Zhi Yao.
He had already called ahead to arrange things.
When the car arrived at the gates of the set, things progressed just as Pei Chiyao had expected. A group of people swarmed over.
"Pei Chiyao's car is here! Pei Chiyao's car is here!"
"Quick, come over!"
"Chiyao! Can you get out of the car and explain why you suddenly decided to take on a romance drama?"
"Chiyao! Is it true that you only have a normal relationship with the new female lead?"
"Chiyao! There are online rumors that the new female lead got her role by trading sexual favors. Are you aware of this?"
What responded was Pei Chiyao's departing figure.
Pei Chiyao had gone out.
Damn it!
At that moment, 10,000 bad premonitions flashed through Xiao Sun's mind. "Little girl, you know the way around the set right? Go back first yourself, later I'll come find you with Chiyao!"
After saying this he hurriedly chased after Pei Chiyao.
Before Zhi Yao could even nod, Xiao Sun had already disappeared without a trace.
Luckily she knew the way.
There were already many crews filming inside the studio city. Because many productions had secrecy requirements, reporters were unable to enter.
But...even though there were no reporters here, there were still many ill-intentioned gazes sizing her up.
Whispered gossip reached Zhi Yao's ears.
"So that's the new girl who slept her way into the role?"
"I heard she slept with the whole crew to get this part!"
"Hilarious, I heard yesterday she tried to seduce Pei Chiyao but he completely ignored her."
"Why are all these new actresses so unscrupulous nowadays?"
Zhi Yao didn't realize they were talking about her. After looking around, she realized she hadn't taken this entrance before.
Previously, Pei Chiyao had always brought her through another door.
She thought for a bit, then walked up to one of the women gossiping about her and asked: "Sister, hello! Do you know which way to the Fox Spirit set?"
That woman instantly froze in place. Right at that moment Zhi Yao raised her head.
Holy crap! At such a close distance, that supreme beauty was like a sledgehammer blow!
The woman was stunned speechless by Zhi Yao's looks.
"Sister?"
After waiting ages without getting a response, Zhi Yao inevitably felt somewhat puzzled.
The woman finally reacted, still dazed as she pointed and said "There, turn left then right."
"Thank you, sister." The little girl crisply replied with a smile and nod. Then she briskly walked in the directed direction.
The woman was still standing there stunned until her friend spoke up beside her, "What's wrong with you?"
The woman clutched at her madly pounding heart. "Screw me! No way she slept her way into it! From today onwards, I'm her brainless fan! I'm going to be at odds with anyone who badmouths her!"
She was converted on the spot into a fan by Zhi Yao's looks.
Who could resist such a sweet beauty softly calling them "sister"?!
