Chapter 2309
Lu Xinran now understood the director’s meaning and gave a cold laugh, twisted her head to look at the director and asked with a straight face, “Are you talking about me?”
Even the director’s honorific was omitted, which showed how arrogant and domineering she usually was on the set.
When the director heard this, he immediately conceded and said with a smile on his face, “No, I’m just saying that to the newcomers. Okay, okay, let’s forget about this scene, everyone rest in place and start again in half an hour.”
After saying that, the director turned around and went to the lounge, and when he turned around, the smiling face immediately cooled down, his lips opened and closed, cursing a few words in a dark way.
Avoiding Lu Xinran, Miller led me quickly to the lounge where Fu Shen Yan was.
When I went in, Fu Shen Yan was silent with his back to the door, not knowing what he was thinking about, his tall back blocking out all the light from the incandescent lamps, making him look even more fit.
“If you have something to say, just say it and get out when you’re done.” Fu Shenyin probably thought it was his assistant, forgetting to curb his temper.
It had only been a week, and hearing his husky voice again, it felt like a lifetime ago.
Looking at his broad back, I suddenly wanted to go up and give him a hug.
And I really did.
But Fu Shenyan was too wary and took me for an unsuspecting stranger, and as soon as he touched his body, he reflexively bounced away and stepped back, distancing himself from me.
When he turned around and realised it was me, his eyebrows furrowed together, “What are you doing here?”
Without Murong Zhuan present, his tone was much gentler, although he still intentionally kept his distance.
“I was at the hospital for so long, and when you didn’t show up, I had to find myself here.”
It’s really strange to miss this kind of emotion, when you can’t see it, it’s hard to sleep and eat, but now that you see it, it seems like you miss it even more than when you were apart.
If only I had moved a little faster just now, to be able to give him a hug, to get the strength from him to hold on, to give him a hug, to make sure I wasn’t fighting alone.
“Murong is very nervous about you, it will be fine.” Fu Shen Yan lowered his eyes and avoided my gaze.
I suppressed the sourness in my nose and smiled bitterly to myself, “Yeah, he’s about to fall in love with me, a man as smart as you is infiltrating my life a little, how do you feel?”
“I would feel happy if I were you, it proves, at least, that you are safe now.” Fu Shen Yan’s tone was still light, no emotion could be heard.
Perhaps what he wanted to say was that as long as I was safe, I was greedy to hear something else, “But you are not me, otherwise you would know that what I want to hear is not these crowning words at all.”
Fu Shen Yan sweeps imperceptibly in the direction of the doorway with his afterimage, and though careful, I detect it and warn, “Miller is guarding the outside, no one will come in, it’s just us.”
We were in a safe area and didn’t have to worry about Murong Zhuan suddenly appearing to see what was going on.
But Fu Shen Yan still stubbornly insisted on his caution and hurriedly dropped a sentence, cold and impersonal, “If I had said what you wanted to hear, it wouldn’t have come to a divorce over the family fortune.”
With that, he hurried towards the door, opened it, and then suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“Sometimes time is the biggest killer, it can change everything or ruin everything.”
Leaving me with a sideways glance, he left the lounge without a backward glance.
The room was heated, but I felt cold all over, intertwining my arms and hugging myself tightly.
Time can change everything. Was this Fu Shenyan’s intention, or did he mean to imply otherwise?
I stayed alone in the lounge for a long time, thinking about Fu’s last words, but I couldn’t get anything out of my head.
When the door creaked open, I thought it was Miller, and subconsciously tried to ask her for help, “Miller, what do you mean when you say that time can change everything.”
However, when I looked up, all I saw was Murong Zhuan’s excessively white face in the light.
In that instant I grasped what Fu Shen Yan meant.
Even if there was no eye contact, the length of time we spent in the same confined space was enough to prove the relationship between us.
How can two people who look at each other with disgust be at peace and spend a long time together in the same room?
The two people who had been in the same confined space for a long time did not even look at each other.
Chapter 2310
I froze for a moment, and with the benefit of hindsight, I realized that Murong Zhuan had taken this as a way of saying that Fu Shenyan had rejected me.
And he was obviously here to throw stones at me, ready to taunt me.
It looked like those text messages in the morning hadn’t hit him hard in general.
“Yes, he is really powerful, saying that he doesn’t love, and then he can turn around and have a big fling with another woman to make it known to the world, but you, Murong Zhuan, don’t even know what it’s like to love someone yet.” I said with a smile.
This is why you should never offend a woman, especially a woman you hold close to your heart, otherwise you will know what it is like to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.
The desire to win succeeded in calling Murong Zhuan’s face that was clear just a moment ago instantly dark clouds, he lowered his eyelids, even though he was standing under the light, he couldn’t hide the hostile aura around him, “You’ve only just left the hospital and you’ve forgotten what will happen if you provoke me?”
The words were harsh enough, and I was sure he could do what he said, but he forgot that when I was being a jerk, I was a lot tougher than he was.
“Not forgotten, so you’re going to give me another shot, and this time it’s going to be right on target.” I pointed at the heart, deliberately provoking him.
What I had was the courage to do so, after all, the situation now was that the hit was in my body and the rush was in his heart.
Murong Zhuan took a deep breath as a way to calm his anger, and then said quietly, “The reason you survived is not that I couldn’t spare your life, but only I can decide when you die, you know Shen Shu, you’re very close to death now.”
“Is that so?” I put my hand down, walked towards him unbelievingly and began to circle around him, Murong Zhuan’s eyes turning unconsciously with my steps.
When I reached the point where I was directly behind him, I stopped in my tracks, “So is this a quicker way to die?”
As I said this, I reached out to touch Murong Zhuan’s right hand that was naturally hanging by his side.
The moment his skin touched, Murong Zhuan copied and pasted the same reaction as Fu Shenyan had just done, jerking his hand away and turning around to look at me with a stunned expression.
“What are you doing?!” Murong Zhuan asked.
“Of course it’s to do what should be done between ambiguous partners, you won’t, shouldn’t I take the initiative?” I deliberately looked at him with affection, as if I had really moved on.
But only I knew in my heart that I wanted my eyes to turn into knives and cut him to pieces without any effort.
The only thing that remained constant was the ruthlessness in his eyes, as if he would lose his patience at any moment and turn into a murderous demon.
It was a good thing I was already immune to this demon; a demon in love has soft fangs, so how could it really hurt me.
Meeting his gaze, I looked back with interest, “Don’t tell me that you haven’t touched a woman until now?”
Murong Zhuan disdained, “There are times when you guess wrong.”
Why did it feel like he was a little arrogant when he said that?
Maybe it’s just nature, men will always unconsciously flaunt their perceived excellence in front of the opposite S*x, only what Murong Zhuan is proud of is hard to say.
I averted my eyes and gently bared a smile, again without showing any signs of sulking, “Oh, indeed I underestimated you, it seems you have a much richer love history than I thought.”
With that, he ducked his head and absently fiddled with his fingers.
