The Bully President and the Serious Wife

Xu Lu's character is about to be offline.

The director gathered everyone because he wanted her to finish shooting the last few scenes.

They shot all night long.

During the journey, they took a break and the logistics team prepared some dinner for them, including barbecue and other foods.

Xu Lu was about to eat when Xiao Liu ran over and said, "Miss, this is your dinner."

Startled, she opened it and saw it was chicken soup. The air was filled with the sweet aroma of Chinese herbs. Just one sniff was enough to whet her appetite.

“Did you do this, Xiao Liu?”

"Don't make fun of me, miss. I have no money and I don't know what to do."

"Miss Beauty?"

"Miss Mei is a cheapskate. Do you think she would agree?"

“Who did that…?”

"Drink. You'll be re-energized. You still have some scenes to shoot until midnight."

When the director beckoned, she drank it as quickly as she could and returned to the scene.

The continuous filming days made Xu Lu so exhausted that she fell asleep as soon as she returned to the hotel.

Xie Zhenting returned to Singapore just two days later. Just like before, he stayed in Xu Lu's room and was reluctant to leave.

He was expressing his desire to stay there, and although Xu Lu saw him, she was too sleepy to entertain him.

He had behaved very well in the past few days, as he had not caused any trouble to Xu Lu at all.

However, she had a slightly different opinion of him, wondering if he was up to something dirty again.

After all, Xu Lu told him that it was better for her to watch the video than to accompany him.

They slept in the same bed and shared a pillow, but they barely communicated.

Xu Lu slept wrapped in a blanket. Every night when they went to bed, there was an empty space separating them.

However, after she woke up, his limbs were always on top of her.

Every day, Xu Lu is awakened by his weight.

His morning breath was so strong that she kicked him off every time.

Xie Zhenting was kicked awake, opened his eyes, and stared at Xu Lu in a daze. Most of the time he would pull her back and say, "Sleep!"

...

That evening, everything was finished by nine o'clock, a little earlier than the previous two days, because she was anxious to get home and get to bed, so she changed her clothes and washed off her makeup as quickly as possible.

Several actresses crowded in the dressing room, talking secretly and glancing at Xu Lu furtively.

Seeing that she was about to leave, one of them finally asked, "Lulu. Why did someone tell me that they saw a man coming in and out of your room? You are not... secretly keeping a man, right?"

“Yes, that’s right, we are all sisters.”

Xu Lu paused and said contemptuously: "Yes, I secretly kept a man. Is it wrong? Why do you have to care? I am not sleeping in your bed."

This answer left the others speechless.

"Well, how about you take us over? Let us evaluate you so you don't get involved with those bad guys."

Xu Lu said slowly: "I have no problem letting you meet him, but if you are brave enough, why don't you introduce your man to me?"

Her answer once again stunned the other actresses. To be honest, none of them dared to do so.

From a woman's perspective, Xu Lu is not a good person. She has an extraordinary charm like a fox, and everyone in the production team indulges her.

Finally, one of the actresses couldn’t help but say, “You are really confident, aren’t you? It’s as if you are the only attractive woman in the world. If you really bring him here, are you sure your man will still be yours?”

Xu Lu frowned and laughed at them. "My man is very picky. I just fit his taste. He won't be attracted to any of you."

Two knocks on the door interrupted the rising tension in the dressing room.

Everyone turned around and saw a man standing at the door. He was wearing completely casual clothes and a pair of sunglasses.

Although they could not see his entire face, his nose, lips, and chin were so delicate that even the darkness of the night could not dim the radiance he radiated as he stood there.

He looked at Xu Lu. "Can we go now?"

The dressing room was silent as everyone's attention turned to him.

Xu Lu stood up. "The shooting isn't over yet. You should go back first."

Xie Zhenting replied: "I'll wait for you here."

She glanced at him sideways. "I think you heard everything I just said?"

A revealing smile crossed his face. "I heard you. It's just..."

Xu Lu raised her eyebrows. “Just what? You don’t like it?”

Xie Zhenting's mouth curled up. "Who said that? I'm really picky, but you just fit my taste."

Xu Lu turned around. "You heard it. My man doesn't care about you at all."

The rest of the actresses immediately looked uncomfortable.

...

It was the last day of filming and her scenes were about to end.

Xu Lu's character, at the end, commits suicide on the emperor's orders, after he gives her a cup of poisoned wine. Her expression reveals both her reluctance to die and her relentless hatred for him. She shatters the wine cup on the ground, and in her final moments, she viciously curses, "If I were reborn, I would kill the entire imperial family."

Xu Lu's role is completed.

After the filming was completed, the director and the crew held a simple closing party.

The director had nothing but praise for Xu Lu’s performance. He personally gave her a glass of wine and told her, “Keep up your acting skills. I hope we’ll have a chance to work together again in the future.”

She twisted her glasses with the director and said, "Thank you, director. I will continue to work hard."

The rest of the cast and crew took a sip of wine and said goodbye to her. Xu Lu thanked each of them.

Xu Lu smiled generously to everyone who did not blame her wrongly.

The actors had almost no time to rest, and the small banquet was very short. Many people had to continue filming.

Qin Jingzhi walked over only after the crowd surrounding Xu Lu disappeared.

He was still wearing gorgeous clothes and a crown, and his face was particularly bright and respectable. He was worthy of the role of emperor.

He didn't offer any wine. He simply told Xu Lu, "Go home and have a good rest. If we have the chance next time, I hope we can continue to work together."

These words are similar to those of the director: quite formal.

Xu Lu nodded. "Of course."

Both of them seemed to have forgotten the awkwardness of the past.

He looked at Xu Lu's beautiful face, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You and Xie Zhenting----. Do you know? Forget it, I won't ask too much. But...you and him will not have a result."

Xu Lu deliberately asked him: "What's the result?"

Qin Jingzhi smiled, and he looked mysterious. “You understand.”

She crossed her arms and said, “Whether we can work this out is none of your business. You’re talking as if there’s going to be a result between you and me.”

“Oh, indeed!”

"…"

Qin Jingzhi was just making fun of her.

In the distance, someone shouted to Qin Jingzhi, telling him that they were about to start filming.

Still rooted to the ground, he took out a business card and gave it to Xu Lu. "If anything happens, you can call me."

She held the card between two fingers.

The business card only had Qin Jingzhi's name and a series of numbers written on it.

Xu Lu wanted to throw it away, but when she saw a symbol on the bottom, she thought it might be his private number. Maybe it would be useful next time.

She frowned. "Only on the phone?"

Qin Jingzhi smiled. His smile was like a spring breeze ten kilometers wide in Yangzhou. “You are not that kind of person.”

Qin Jingzhi left, leaving those words to Xu Lu.

Xu Lu looked at the business card and wrinkled her lips. What do you mean I'm not that kind of person? I am! '

She turned to leave, but noticed Xu Qixi standing in the corner, staring at her intently.

Xu Lu felt a slight chill and opened her eyes. It was obvious that Xu Qixi wanted revenge.

Xiao Liu took Xu Lu's things and said, "Miss, let's go."

Xu Lu nodded. "Then let's go."
