Chapter 23 part 2

This statement seemed to touch a sensitive chord in Bian Xin. Initially, she had just bowed her head and taken the scolding, but suddenly, she squatted down and burst into loud sobs.

The assistant hurriedly approached to comfort her.

Director Dai Su wore an embarrassed expression.

Well, hadn’t he just spoken some straightforward truths? Why was she crying? Plus, they hadn’t managed to film it properly all afternoon, and he was the one on the verge of tears. What was Bian Xin crying about?

In the end, Director Dai Su could only say begrudgingly, “Alright, forget it, Xiao Bian, take two days to rest and find your rhythm with the crew. Xiao Yun has worked hard this afternoon too. Tomorrow, we’ll film scenes with other actors first. That’s a wrap.”

After filming for the entire afternoon, encountering numerous retakes, every time there was a retake, Yun Feiwu would glance at Xia Shutong.

By the end, Xia Shutong was no longer feeling guilty. As soon as filming concluded, she practically dragged Qian Lingling back to the hotel.

Yet, thinking about Yun Feiwu’s swollen, teary eyes, Xia Shutong couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy. In the end, she insisted that Qian Lingling prepare a boiled egg to soothe Yun Feiwu’s eyes.

With her exceptional demeanor and appearance that appealed to the older generation, she became the center of attention at the banquet shortly after arriving at the venue.

Additionally, considering that most of the attendees at the banquet were friends of Grandfather Xia, Xia Shutong adopted a respectful attitude towards her grandfather’s friends, striking a balance between pride and humility. This approach surprisingly won the hearts of many elders. By the end of the evening, she had established quite a few valuable connections.

While Xia Shutong could abstain from drinking during gatherings with her own drama crew, she found herself compelled to drink at this formal banquet. Fortunately, Qian Lingling was by her side, ensuring that no issues arose.

…

After much perseverance, Bian Xin finally found her groove before nightfall and managed to barely get through this scene.

Upon returning to her room, Yun Feiwu first glanced at the adjacent room.

There was no light seeping from under the door, Xia Shutong hadn’t returned yet.

She vaguely remembered hearing that Xia Shutong and Qian Lingling had gone to attend some dinner banquet.

Yun Feiwu lowered her gaze, returned to her room, took a shower, changed into fresh clothes, and then walked out onto the balcony to take another look.

It was already half past nine, and Xia Shutong’s room was still engulfed in darkness.

Even though she knew that Xia Shutong couldn’t possibly be in trouble, and even if something did happen, there was nothing she could do. But Yun Feiwu couldn’t help but worry.

In the end, she descended the stairs and took a seat by the hotel lobby’s staircase.

This vantage point offered a clear view of people coming and going from the hotel, without drawing attention to herself.

…

When Qian Lingling helped the thoroughly intoxicated Xia Shutong back to the hotel, it was approaching eleven o’clock.

The intoxicated Xia Shutong surprisingly displayed a docile side, resembling a child as she leaned obediently on Qian Lingling.

During the banquet, she didn’t utter anything inappropriate, on the contrary, she managed to win the favor of several elders.

Qian Lingling’s lack of fear towards Xia Shutong was partly due to her frequent companionship during social events in the past. Whenever Xia Shutong got drunk, her speech would become scarce, despite her fierce demeanor in front of others. However, when it was just the two of them, she would soften.

She even appeared quite adorable, like a well-behaved elementary school student.

Of course, Qian Lingling would never dare to say such things to Xia Shutong after she sobered up.

Xia Shutong was visibly making an effort to regain her balance, but given Qian Lingling’s petite stature, helping Xia Shutong from the car into the hotel proved to be quite a challenge for her.

In just a few steps, Qian Lingling’s forehead was already glistening with sweat.

“Miss Qian? President Xia?”

After only a few paces, Qian Ling Ling heard a cold and familiar voice. She turned around and indeed saw Yun Feiwu standing behind them, her gaze somewhat inquisitive as she observed them.

“Miss Yun, have you finished filming?” Qian Ling Ling explained, “President Xia has had a bit of drink.”

Yun Feiwu nodded gently, acknowledging Qian Lingling’s statement. She then quickly stepped forward and supported Xia Shutong’s shoulder, saying, “Let me help you support President Xia.”

“No…”

Qian Lingling had intended to refuse, but Xia Shutong suddenly let go of her. Her arms went limp as she leaned into Yun Feiwu’s shoulder.

Qian Lingling was taken aback, her tongue-tied. “Then, Miss Yun, we’ll trouble you.”

Although Xia Shutong was drunk, she was still sober in her heart. Since she had asked Miss Yun for help, she had no reason to refuse on her behalf, right?

Moreover, Qian Lingling had been helped by Yun Feiwu before. She vaguely remembered that Yun Feiwu was very strong, and Xia Shutong was quite lightweight. It shouldn’t tire her out.

“Sure, no problem.”

In the moment when Xia Shutong’s hands rested on her neck, Yun Feiwu’s gaze momentarily stagnated, and her movements stiffened. However, she quickly adjusted, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Soon, the trio entered the elevator.

Xia Shutong remained completely silent, nestling her head obediently into the crook of Yun Feiwu’s neck, occasionally nuzzling lightly.

Yun Feiwu’s neck and earlobes were tickled intensely, a blush spreading across her ears. However, her face still showed no reaction, her gray eyes as calm as the shallow waters of a boundless night.

Upon reaching Xia Shutong’s room door, Qian Lingling helped open it and hesitated, “Miss Yun, thank you for today. It’s getting late now. You should go rest. I’ll take care of things here.”

Yun Feiwu took a step, supporting Xia Shutong as they moved towards the room, but she had no intention of leaving.

“It’s okay, I’ll go back through the balcony later. President Xia’s room and mine are interconnected suites, and the balconies are connected,” Yun Feiwu said. One hand embraced Xia Shutong’s waist, while the other gently caressed her back. Her gaze remained calm as she looked towards Qian Lingling.

The message was clear, she would take care of Xia Shutong.
