Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 52 How about giving yourself to me in return?

"They secretly watch it under the covers, aren't they afraid of hurting their eyes?"

A slightly deep, husky voice suddenly sounded from behind, startling Li Wu so much that she almost threw her phone away.

Li Wu turned her head and looked at that perfectly handsome face that was breathtaking.

At this moment, even her soft voice couldn't help but carry a hint of reproach, "Why did you suddenly speak? You scared me..."

the end.

She added, as if to emphasize, "My vision in both eyes is 5.1, I could be a pilot."

"Why don't you go fly right now and show me just how good your eyesight really is?"

Zhou Jinghuai spoke lazily.

Lacking its usual elegance and poise, it sounded more like a relaxed nonchalance. Especially in this quiet night, and so close at hand.

Li Wu's heartbeat became slightly erratic.

It quieted down.

She turned her head and muttered softly, "Anyway, I can't win an argument with you no matter what I say."

But in the blink of an eye, Zhou Jinghuai reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Zhou Jinghuai embraced her from behind, his chin resting on the top of her thick, smooth black hair. They weren't really leaning against each other, just gently touching, closely embracing.

"Why bother reading those people's comments? They don't affect you."

Zhou Jinghuai spoke in a low, slow voice.

In the quiet night, there was a strange, gentle illusion.

Li Wu felt his warm breath on her ear. Her eardrums trembled slightly, a kind of indescribable tingling sensation.

My mind stirred slightly.

Li Wu turned around, tilted her head slightly, and looked at the man's handsome face so close to hers. His beautiful, clear eyes sparkled like tiny starlight.

She looked at him.

Sometimes all I can see is him.

"What if this show flops? The kind that won't even break even?" Li Wu asked softly.

Li Wu had no idea how much the production cost from preparation to its official broadcast.

The kingfisher feather phoenix crown she wore in one of her scenes was reportedly worth 13 billion yuan and was borrowed from a museum.

Not to mention.

The show features countless gorgeous costumes and jewelry accessories worn by her and other actors.

"You can't even break even?"

Zhou Jinghuai repeated the question slowly and deliberately, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Zhou Jinghuai looked down at her.

Under the dim moonlight, Li Wu couldn't clearly see the expression deep in his eyes.

Hearing him speak in that tone, Li Wu's heart inexplicably tightened.

If there are losses, it would truly be an astronomical figure.

Li Wu pursed her lips, about to speak, when she heard Zhou Jinghuai's leisurely and casual voice—

"How about you give yourself to me in return?"

Li Wu was taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening.

He was joking with himself.

It seems that no matter how much money is involved, Zhou Jinghuai doesn't care.

A single piece of jewelry he casually gave her was worth several times her film salary. Not to mention, he had previously given her a whole box of rare diamonds, the value of which was already immeasurable.

Li Wu leaned lightly against Zhou Jinghuai.

When the two were very close, Li Wu lowered her head slightly and gently leaned against Zhou Jinghuai's broad and warm chest, the cool and pleasant scent faintly entering her nostrils.

Li Wu murmured softly, a little embarrassed, "Am I not already yours... Mr. Zhou, how else do you want me to compensate you..."

"Yeah."

Zhou Jinghuai's palm slowly moved along her waist, the delicate, smooth touch making him almost reluctant to let go. He caressed her inch by inch, slowly and agonizingly.

Li Wu's body trembled slightly, unable to withstand the strain.

Especially where his palm touched, it was as if he had branded one hot mark after another.

It was so hot that her whole heart was trembling.

Li Wu buried her head in his arms, her breathing slightly erratic.

When she spoke again, her voice had changed slightly, as if it had been washed by the tide. The ending note became soft and wet, seemingly accompanied by an ambiguous, sticky, watery sound, "No...don't do this..."

"Don't do anything?"

Zhou Jinghuai lowered his head, looking at Li Wu's eyes, which were gradually becoming moist and watery, and said softly.

His movements were extremely unruly. Yet, his face remained composed and dignified, like that of a gentleman.

Li Wu felt as if she had become a little toy in Zhou Jinghuai's hands, completely disoriented, and could be manipulated at will.

It's clearly a matter between two people. But in the end, it's always just her who loses control.

The churning tide grew ever stronger. Li Wu's beautiful, clear eyes, misty as she looked at the composed and dignified man on top of her, found herself unable to bear it any longer.

She bit her lip, then subconsciously reached out to hug her legs, wanting to separate them...

But then she saw Zhou Jinghuai looking down at her movements, the darkness in his eyes seeming to deepen.

……

……

……

With the huge success of "Floating Life Dream", Li Wu's popularity has skyrocketed.

The other actors in the show, whether they were the main characters or supporting roles, also gained a long period of popularity.

This drama can be described as a scene where everyone is present.

Those actors who initially greeted Li Wu with polite smiles out of respect for his background have now started inquiring about his next project, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

I want to play one or two roles in her drama.

After all, who in this industry doesn't want to be famous?

Li Wu is much more cautious about her second drama. Now she doesn't have to care about the salary as much as before, and she can choose to take on some good dramas that she likes.

Most of the scripts in the industry were sent to Li Wu first, so she could choose the one that best suited her needs.

Even famous directors and screenwriters came to Li Wu in person to ask her what kind of characters and stories she liked, and offered to tailor-make scripts for her.

In the past, Li Wu wouldn't even have been able to see these people.

Not to mention, they even had them come to her home to create a script specifically for her.

Shen Yichen heard about these things from somewhere and even found Li Wu.

When I saw the table full of scripts on the coffee table in front of her.

Shen Yichen teased again, "Oh, is the little empress choosing a script here?"

"Little Empress" is a nickname given to her by viewers after the show aired.

In the drama, she went from being a concubine to becoming the empress. Netizens noticed that she looked very young, so they added the word "small" before her name.

Little Consort.

It's one thing for those people to shout it online every day, but when Li Wu heard Shen Yichen call out to her in real life, her face inevitably turned red.

"Director Shen..."

As she spoke, Li Wu was about to stand up.

"No, I'll find a place to sit myself."

Shen Yichen quickly stopped Li Wu's actions and sat down on the sofa next to her.

She is now the most beloved concubine in the emperor's heart.

At the last event, Wen Zhiyuan complied with the fans' request and fed Li Wu a small piece of watermelon.

She didn't want Zhou Jinghuai to find out.

That afternoon.

He and the chairman of Tianze Entertainment appeared in Zhou Jinghuai's office.

The chairman, who was a powerful figure in the industry, stood in front of him trembling for half an hour, unable to utter a single coherent sentence.

of course.

He wasn't much better off.

When Zhou Jinghuai looks at someone calmly and quietly, even if his expression isn't particularly serious or cold, it can still instill a sense of fear in the person from the bottom of their heart.

"What are your thoughts on the next drama?" Shen Yichen asked Li Wu.

When Shen Yichen asked this, Li Wu naturally echoed his sentiment, "Director Shen, do you have any suggestions?"

"How about we collaborate again?" Shen Yichen had been waiting for this question, and asked it almost without hesitation.

Li Wu looked at him.

Shen Yichen wasn't embarrassed at all. He smiled and said, "After all, as a director, who doesn't want to just focus on directing, right?"

Collaborate with Li Wu.

Top-tier screenwriters, a top-notch team, and A-list celebrities. Not only did it receive a smooth approval process, but it also boasted an overwhelming promotional campaign across major platforms.

She's probably the only one in the industry who gets this kind of treatment.

Having enjoyed working with Shen Yichen on her last project, Li Wu had no problem with it, but she still asked, "May I take a look at the script first?"

"I'll send it to your email in a couple of days."

the end.

When it was time to leave.

Shen Yichen then mentioned a charity gala next month and asked Li Wu if she had time to go with him so she could meet people in the industry.

"...Can I get back to you in a couple of days?" Li Wu asked hesitantly after a pause.

then.

Shen Yichen looked at her and suddenly asked, "Do you have to tell him about everything, big or small, first?"
