“sister-in-law, that Yan Xu guy likes you.”
“Pfft!”
The coffee that had just entered Rosiley’s mouth was spat out instantly. She quickly grabbed a few pieces of tissue to wipe away the mess in front of her and around her mouth. Then, she turned around, glared at Corey, and said between laughter and tears, “The blindness in your eyes is so serious already! You should get your eyes checked by a doctor!”
She had only met Yan Xu for the first time when he saved her, how could he possibly like her? Corey was lying through his own teeth!
“sister-in-law, the way he looks at you is different. I don’t believe that he doesn’t like you.” Corey clicked his tongue and shook his head.
Rosiley was speechless. “Then if he looked at a pig with the same gaze, would you say that he likes pigs?”
He was really one of a kind. It was just a gaze and he could jump to the conclusion that he liked her?! His idiocy was worrying!
Seeing that she still did not believe him, Corey shrugged his shoulders, “Forget it, let’s just say I saw it wrong.”
Although that was what he said, he still kept his guard up around Yan Xu. He felt that it was necessary for his sister-in-law to minimize contact with him.
Hence, he added, “sister-in-law, these few days while we are in Qing City, other than the time when we are sleeping, we should stay together as much as we can. You must tell me before you meet anyone. I don’t want the incident at the party to happen again.”
What he really meant was that she needed to bring him along no matter who she was going to meet.
Rosiley did not give it much thought. She nodded decisively, “Okay, got it.”
Corey nodded with extreme satisfaction. “Then we’ll go on set tomorrow.”
The director that had taken over “Legend of Concubine Qing” was well-known in the industry. At the same time, he was also notorious for his bad temper.
Hence, when Rosiley and Corey first stepped foot on set the next day, they immediately heard the director lecture.
“Are you a pig? You can’t even make a sad expression.”
“Damn it! If you’re not going to act well, get lost! Don’t hold up the whole team!”
Rosiley walked by and craned her neck forward to take a look. She saw Rorey with her head lowered obediently while letting the director scold her.
Rosiley thought she had seen wrongly and could not help blinking her eyes to see clearly if the woman wearing a Qizhuang was really Rorey.
After all, given Rorey’s arrogant character, how could she possibly let someone scold her while she remained silent?
However, her eyes were not playing tricks on her. That woman was indeed Rorey.
The director scolded her again for a while before he stopped and moved on to start shooting a new scene.
Rosiley watched Rorey’s performance from afar. Her brows gradually furrowed and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
She already knew that Rorey’s acting was mediocre, but she did not know that it was this bad.
Rorey played First-class Attendant Ru. Ever since she had been promoted to become a First-class Attendant, the Emperor had never copulated with her. In this scene, she was sitting in her palace alone and waiting for the Emperor bitterly. Therefore, her expression should be lonely and sorrowful. She needed to act it out very naturally.
However, Rorey’s acting was very awkward. It looked kind of pretentious and made people feel uncomfortable.
No wonder the director was angry.
This time around, when the director saw that she had screwed it up again, he was so angry he threw the script on the floor, stood up, and left the set.
Seeing this, the staff all looked at each other. They did not know what to do.
Meanwhile, Rorey was obviously shocked by the director’s temper. She sat down on a chair, feeling dazed and at a loss.
Her assistant, Amy, quickly went to her and wiped away the thin sheen of sweat on her forehead while comforting her. “sister Rorey, you acted so well! That director was just nitpicking and creating trouble. Don’t mind him. We can just get Mr. Ji to settle this personally afterward.”
“Besides…” Amy tilted her head and glanced at the familiar figure behind the staff. Her gaze grew colder. “Rosiley is here.”
Hearing this, Rorey lifted her head and followed her gaze. She saw Rosiley smiling and waving at her.
Her face darkened immediately. She wiped away her disappointment from earlier and stood up. “since she’s here, let’s go meet her.”
