Chapter 391: Chapter 382: Your Majesty’s Contrasting Cuteness

After the wrap party ended, Shen Yunqing successfully ended up with a drunken director and a seemingly normal, yet slightly inebriated Your Majesty.

He couldn’t help but be grateful he restrained himself from drinking too much.

Handing Wei Xiao over to the crew’s staff, Shen Yunqing supported Jiang Lingxi into the car. Lu Zhengzheng and Xu Ling’an exchanged glances, hesitating whether to follow.

It was Jiang Lingxi who poked her head out of the car window, "What’s the holdup? Get in already!"

Only then did the two quickly get in.

The crew’s vehicle arrived at the hotel. When they reached the room door, Lu Zhengzheng took a room card from her bag to open the hotel door, quickly placed the card at the entrance, and tossed her bag over, then retreated, "Xixi, I already talked with An’an that we’ll sleep together tonight. You and Mr. Shen have a good rest!"

The series of actions was done seamlessly.

After saying this, she pulled Xu Ling’an’s arm and left immediately.

Watching their quickly disappearing backs, Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing: "..."

Jiang Lingxi lifted her foot and entered the room, turning to look at the person whose ears quietly began to redden, "Isn’t my little assistant quite considerate?"

Shen Yunqing: "...Mm."

The door closed behind them.

The noise from the corridor was instantly largely blocked.

Jiang Lingxi raised her hand to gently massage her temples.

It had been a long time since she experienced such a lively scene.

"Got a headache?"

"Not really, just a bit tired."

Saying this, Jiang Lingxi couldn’t help but pause.

She surprisingly uttered the word "tired" so easily.

But seeing the person before her also furrowing his brows, she had some understanding again.

Maybe it’s just because right now it’s Shen Yunqing beside her!

"I want to take a bath."

To relieve the fatigue.

"No way," Shen Yunqing suddenly shook his head seriously, "It’s not suitable to take a bath after drinking, at least wait an hour."

Jiang Lingxi instantly raised an eyebrow, "Are you lecturing me?"

"Just a suggestion." Shen Yunqing looked somewhat troubled at the Your Majesty who rarely drank and now wouldn’t listen to advice, "Bathing immediately after drinking is truly bad for your health, it will..."

The advice that followed was blocked back by the pale-white fingertips landed on his lips.

"Fine, no bath then. When did Mr. Shen become such a nag!"

Shen Yunqing sighed helplessly, reaching out to gently touch the rosy cheeks nearby, the heat immediately transferring to his fingertips.

"Feeling hot, shall I turn on the air conditioning?"

"No, just open the window, remember to draw the sheer curtains."

Jiang Lingxi still couldn’t get used to air conditioning, especially in hotel rooms; her nose was more sensitive than most, always feeling like there’s a bad smell when the air conditioner is on.

She’d rather open the window or use a fan.

After Shen Yunqing followed her instructions to the window and opened it, drawing a sheer curtain to block the view, he turned around to see the person lazily reclining on the sofa, engrossed in her phone.

As he walked over and sat down on the opposite side, he noticed that the top two buttons of the person’s shirt were undone, from this angle, he unintentionally caught a glimpse of spring.

He hurriedly turned his head, not daring to look again.

However, the hands suddenly clenched tightly, signaling the current unease.

Jiang Lingxi just clicked open the novel Wei Minmin sent her from the wrap party. Noticing the movement opposite, she looked up and saw Shen Yunqing focused on looking towards the window, instinctively also glancing over.

The wind-blown curtains, what’s so interesting about that?

"What are you looking at?"

"The night view is pretty nice tonight."

Jiang Lingxi: "..." She wondered, "Even through the curtain you can see?"

Shen Yunqing turned his head back, lowering his eyes. He originally wanted to mention the progress on Wu Jue’s side to divert from his awkward excuse but hesitated and abandoned the thought.

He remembered that the Your Majesty wasn’t keen on dealing with matters after drinking.

If it was in a past life, he might have summoned some musicians to relax.

He could play, but clearly, there were no instruments in this room.

Jiang Lingxi noticed him keeping his eyes downcast, never looking her way, and only belatedly glanced at her own shirt.

Just now feeling stuffy, leaning on the sofa was uncomfortable, she casually unbuttoned two buttons.

Thinking of comfort first, not realizing the shirt slipped down slightly.

She intended to tug her clothes up, but seeing Shen Yunqing sitting right there, not daring to lift an eyelid, she suddenly wanted to tease him a bit.

"Indeed, this room’s a bit hot. Yunqing, aren’t you hot?"

Shen Yunqing almost shook his head, but the motion suddenly halted.

Because a hand appeared on the tightly buttoned collar of his neck, fingers lightly plucking, "I remember you didn’t dress so neatly at home. Now in the room, why so proper? Isn’t it tight and stuffy, shall I help you undo it?"

His Adam’s apple unconsciously bobbed twice up and down. Seeing the person in front about to lean over, Shen Yunqing couldn’t help but reach out, clutching the hand on the collar, his upper body slightly tilting back, speaking again with a touch of suppressed restraint, "Your Majesty..."

Jiang Lingxi saw the increasingly prominent blue veins on the back of his hand, coughed lightly and let go.

Perhaps she teased a bit too much, it wouldn’t be good if she scared him off.

"Ahem, anyway, I’m reading the novel Minmin sent me, the one she hopes you’ll guest star in. I just read two Chapters, it seems pretty good, want to have a look together?"

Shen Yunqing took a deep breath, a bit helpless, yet with a slight smile, nodded, "Sure."

If she kept teasing him, he just wouldn’t trust his restraint anymore.

Jiang Lingxi changed her position, patting the vacant spot beside her. Though her actions were flamboyant, her tone lacked much intimidation as she ordered, "Come sit here."

Shen Yunqing: "..."

Could he say that he only found the Your Majesty to be adorable in contrast now?

Well, he didn’t dare!

"What’s going on, will the corridor outside quieten down or not? How can anyone sleep in this noise?"

She Man pulled off the silk eye mask over her eyes, opened the bedroom door, and saw her assistant still working in the living room, "Pour me a glass of water, forty-five degrees warm."

The assistant quickly put down her laptop, headed to the bar counter to pour a glass of warm water, carefully testing the temperature before handing it over, noticing her face full of irritation, explained quietly, "Probably the people returning from the wrap party, most are staying in nearby rooms on this floor, so it’s a bit noisy, it should calm down soon."

She Man took the glass and sipped, her face still showing no less annoyance, glancing at the clock on the laptop, "Only ten o’clock, no wonder, those two old men also went, so of course, it ended early."

Annoyingly right when she was about to have her beauty sleep!

The assistant, hearing her mention old men, thought of something she’d found during work, suddenly hesitated to speak.

She Man glanced over, frowning, "If you’ve something to say, just say it. Since when did you become hesitant about talking?"

"Man-jie," thinking of what she was about to say next, her assistant lowered her voice, "On set, I heard Director Wei and Jiang Lingxi referring to those two old gentlemen as Elder Shi and Mr. Li, it sounded familiar, so I curiously looked up their information. Those two gentlemen have a son named Shi Changrui, but I don’t know if it’s just a name coincidence..."

Her assistant didn’t continue, She Man’s face twisted in a somewhat frightening expression.

She Man slammed the water glass down onto the table, droplets splashing onto the laptop keyboard, glaring fiercely at the assistant, "Why didn’t you look it up earlier, why didn’t you tell me sooner!"

Definitely not just a name coincidence; she could tell how much respect Wei Xiao had towards those two gentlemen.

If she had known earlier... she would never have used the excuse of feeling unwell to skip the wrap party.

Such a good opportunity!

But time could not be turned back, it was too late for any words now.

She could only vent her anger on the assistant.

So, someone who planned to sleep early for beauty rest ended up, after venting, lying awake all night.

Meanwhile, in a suite several doors away, Pei Xinyuan also tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

The information on ’Shengjing Little Lady’ on her phone, she had looked over repeatedly since returning, and the brief description of the secondary female role in the drama made her heart move.

But as her heart stirred, thinking of what Cheng Qian said to her at the wrap party, especially the final words, an unsettling feeling lingered.

Should she go or not?
