Chapter 104: Chapter 103: Do Not Pry into My Affairs (25)

Why suddenly... is the director being so kind to her and even taking the initiative to extend her sick leave?

Dong Xin Yan held the fruit plate with one hand, freed up another hand, and pinched her own cheek hard. Pain surged up instantly, and a bright gleam suddenly appeared in Dong Xin Yan’s eyes.

If it hurts, then it’s real.

The issue she was worried and afraid about for days was resolved so magically. Now, she had half a month’s time to rest and recover.

Though she didn’t know what was really going on with the director, this was simply too good to be true.

The heavy stone pressing on her heart was suddenly lifted, and Dong Xin Yan felt completely relaxed. Even her earlier complaints and dissatisfaction with Gu Ningyi vanished.

Then she carried the fruit plate with a light step towards the sofa, placed the fruit plate on the table, and said cheerfully, "Mr. Gu, please have some fruit."

A person’s tone of voice changes when they are happy compared to when they are unhappy. Now, hearing Dong Xin Yan’s voice, it was obvious her tone was slightly uplifted, very cheerful.

He subconsciously glanced at her. Sure enough, her brows were relaxed, lips slightly curved, and her bright eyes sparkled, making her sickly appearance look less obvious.

She was looking so lifeless just now. How could cutting some fruit in the kitchen make her so happy?

Gu Ningyi thought about it. Although he was watching TV just now, his attention was somewhat adrift, so he vaguely heard a phone ringing from the kitchen.

Could it be... she received that call?

It seemed likely.

He simply didn’t expect her to be so happy, so happy that... she smiled in front of him.

Perhaps her good mood was contagious. The corners of his lips slightly lifted too, and he gave a soft "hmm," reaching out to take an apple slice and put it in his mouth.

Hmm, it’s quite sweet.

Maybe it was because of the good mood, or maybe because although Gu Ningyi ordered her around today, he wasn’t as expressionless and cold as usual, Dong Xin Yan suddenly felt he wasn’t as intimidating.

Just now, after the director mentioned the sick leave, he also reminded her that her upcoming role was very important and that she must prepare well.

Dong Xin Yan had already reviewed the script in advance. The upcoming scenes were her significant interactions with the female lead, also serving as the climax of the entire drama, so the director had high expectations.

The drama’s female lead was Tang Qian, currently the most popular actress in the entertainment circle. To accommodate Tang Qian’s schedule, the drama had been delayed for a year before filming began.

Because Tang Qian was exceptionally busy, the crew had been accommodating her schedule, typically filming others’ scenes first, waiting for her to have time to do hers.

So although Dong Xin Yan was the second female lead, apart from the brief encounter with Tang Qian during the opening ceremony, she didn’t know much about Tang Qian personally. What she knew was mostly through entertainment gossip, which was unreliable.

As they say, know your enemy and know yourself, and you’ll be unstoppable. As an actress about to collaborate with her, Dong Xin Yan felt that she had to first understand Tang Qian to cooperate better.

Accessing information through other channels was impossible, but... right now there was a good opportunity.
