"Park, Director Park, are you looking for me?"

"Okay, sit down." Director Park didn't even look at her, just staring at the notebook in his hand.

"Look here, you and your brother have a very good relationship, but you are also resentful of him because he abandoned his family. But these personal feelings are in the whole village... Are you listening?"

“…I’m listening.” So she was asked to tell a story?

Director Park continued, "That's good. Chun Xing'er is an illiterate girl who doesn't understand the principles of family and country. You need to be careful about how you express your emotions."

After Director Park's guidance, Ning Xingluo suddenly understood. The awkward parts that he had felt before seemed to be straightened out all of a sudden: "So this line of mine is not actually addressed to the Japanese, but to my brother!"

"Well, you are quite talented." Director Park nodded with satisfaction.

After that, they discussed a few more points. After finishing, Director Park let Ning Xingluo go without saying a word.

Ning Xingluo did not move. After thinking it over again and again, she asked, "Director Park, thank you for your advice."

Director Park sneered: "Wouldn't it be better if someone gave you some pointers?"

Ning Xingluo quickly said: "That's not what I meant..."

“Alright, alright,” Director Park waved his hand. “You really seem to know nothing, so it’s okay to tell you.”

"Your President Pei sent someone to chase for an investment, asking me to take better care of you."

"To be honest, I really hate this kind of thing, so before you even came, I had a bad impression of you and had no plans to take care of you."

Ning Xingluo recalled how Director Park ignored her when she greeted him in the morning. She thought it was because her voice was too soft and she didn’t realize that she was being disliked!

Director Park scratched his thick, graying beard and laughed again, "But for me, when I see a good talent, I feel itchy if I don't give him some guidance."

Finally, he said, "Boss Pei cares so much about you and hasn't taken credit for it. Maybe he's really pursuing you. I don't know him well, but I remember he's quite handsome. I think we can get along."

Ning Xingluo immediately wanted to refute, they couldn’t expose their relationship outside!

But she opened her mouth, but nothing came out.

How would she defend herself? It was just the boss's concern for the employees? Who would believe that?

Let's not talk about the fact that she is just an artist who is only slightly better than the 18th-tier. Who is Pei Yuhan? He is the actual person in charge of Xinyue's parent company, Pei Group!

With such a huge gap in status, what kind of connection can there be in the eyes of outsiders?

In the end, she didn't refute, but just smiled awkwardly.

It is better to be misunderstood as a financial sponsor than to expose the relationship between husband and wife.

------------

Ning Xingluo was still thinking about this matter until he lay in bed.

What is going on with Pei Yuhan?

Aren’t they just a contractual relationship?

The agreement also included a treaty of non-interference in each other's lives, but this was not the first time Pei Yuhan had helped her.

This behavior is really like those financial sponsors who want to support little stars.

He actually found time to pay attention to a nobody like her in his busy schedule. It's impossible that he fell in love with her, right?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Ning Xingluo shook his head vigorously.

"No, no, no, I'm too narcissistic. This is absolutely impossible!"

Pei Yuhan is probably the type of person who would marry his work. Apart from work, I haven't seen him do anything else for entertainment all day long.

Sometimes I feel like a robot without desires.

Ning Xingluo turned over again, and felt as if a kitten's claws were scratching her heart. She sat up suddenly. If she didn't get things clear today, she would definitely not be able to sleep well.

Ning Xingluo immediately sent a probing message: "I heard from the director, thank you very much, but our agreement seems to say that we should not interfere with each other, right?"

It's the second day now, Pei Yuhan should have gone to bed long ago, so this message can only be replied tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Ning Xingluo closed his eyes with a peaceful smile.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The cell phone rang suddenly in the silence. Ning Xingluo was so scared that he almost jumped out of the bed. He picked up the phone without even reading the notes.

"Hello?" The low and cold voice seemed to be right next to his ear. Ning Xingluo couldn't help but hold the phone farther away.

"What, why are you still not asleep so late? Did I wake you up?" Ning Xingluo's heart beat faster. It was Pei Yuhan.

“It’s okay, I just want to say that I did ask Lin Xu to take care of you, but this is because you are my wife.

The help I provide you is for the purpose of maintaining our normal relationship, and it is all included in the agreement.

Of course, I apologize in advance if this makes you uncomfortable.”

This was the first time Ning Xingluo heard Pei Yuhan speak such a long paragraph.

"No, no, I don't mean to blame you! I'm very grateful that you helped me!" Ning Xingluo quickly denied.

"That's good."

After a pause, Pei Yuhan said, "You've worked hard on the filming, go to bed early."

……

Ning Xingluo didn't know what was wrong with him.

After hanging up the phone, she had a blank expression on her face, staring at the smoke alarm on the ceiling with her wide eyes. The corners of the white quilt were torn to pieces, and Pei Yuhan's words just now seemed to keep echoing in her ears.

She sighed deeply. Now she couldn't fall asleep at all.

……

On the other hand, Pei Yuhan was not much better.

He had indeed gone to bed early and had a healthy schedule, but after Haohao's accident, he had whitelisted Ning Xingluo's information and number, ignoring all the mute and do not disturb settings and giving him the highest authority.

So when he heard Ning Xingluo's news, he woke up immediately.

After reading the content of the message, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Ning Xingluo and he are very close partners, so why is he so distant from him?

Despite his busy schedule, he still found time to watch Ning Xingluo's live broadcast and previous recorded broadcasts.

Pei Yuhan himself didn't realize that he had long forgotten his original intention of paying attention to Ning Xingluo and his suspicion of Ning Xingluo.

It has become his habit to listen to Lin Xu's report every day and care about Ning Xingluo's movements.

So he acted on impulse and called Ning Xingluo directly.

In fact, he came to his senses as soon as the call was made, but Ning Xingluo answered the call too quickly, leaving him no chance to regret.

Then, when he heard Ning Xingluo's concern for him, he seemed to be overwhelmed again and blurted out.

It was late at night, and there was no sound around. The sudden impulse faded away, and he seemed to have just woken up from a dream.

Were the words I just said too harsh?

……

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

--------------

The next day, Ning Xingluo appeared on the set with a haggard face, all thanks to the makeup artist's superb skills.

Today's scenes were all outdoor. With yesterday's experience and Director Park's guidance, Ning Xingluo gradually got into the groove and even got several takes right in one go.

After the game, she sat down to rest. When she picked up her phone, she saw Ye Xirong’s message: You are on the hot search again.

Ning Xingluo: “?”

No, she has been very well behaved recently and hasn't been anywhere except the studio and the hotel!
