Chapter 196: Chapter 195 Pretend Fight Turns Real (15)

Generally speaking, this kind of scene is shot using camera angles; Tang Qian’s hand would swing down while Dong Xin Yan tilts her face accordingly, avoiding an actual hit.

But unexpectedly, after Tang Qian’s hand swung over, a crisp "slap" sound echoed. Her slap really landed on Dong Xin Yan’s face.

Everyone present was stunned, and for a moment, no one reacted, as if the air had frozen.

It was Tang Qian who spoke first, looking at her hand with astonishment, as if she hadn’t expected the slap to actually land. Blinking her big eyes full of apology, she said towards the director, "Director, I’m sorry, I think my hand slipped."

Tang Qian’s voice quickly pulled everyone’s consciousness back. The director snapped back to reality, instinctively wanting to say it’s alright, but when his words reached his lips, he realized something and couldn’t help but look at Dong Xin Yan.

If Dong Xin Yan was just an ordinary third-tier actress, getting slapped would mean enduring it and accepting bad luck. But now, with someone backing her, having received such a slap suddenly, her feelings couldn’t just be ignored.

The director looked at Dong Xin Yan standing there holding her face, growing a bit worried in his eyes, and hurriedly said, "Xinyan, are you okay?"

Even Dong Xin Yan didn’t expect Tang Qian’s slap to actually hit down. Her face was slapped slightly to one side. She was stunned, eyes wide open, reflexively covering her cheek, unable to react for a moment until the director’s voice reached her.

Tang Qian’s slap wasn’t light; she could feel the burning pain on her face. However, she gently rubbed her cheek and then forced a smile, lightly shaking her head, "Director, I’m fine."

The director saw Dong Xin Yan’s smile and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing Tang Qian without any sign of apology, he lightly frowned, but knew that asking Tang Qian to apologize to Dong Xin Yan was impossible. The best thing was to move past the scene quickly. "As long as you’re okay. Makeup artist, touch her up and let’s do it again!"

The makeup artist hurried forward to touch up Dong Xin Yan’s makeup. Tang Qian glanced at Dong Xin Yan sideways, curling her lips coldly.

Initially, it was thought that Tang Qian truly just accidentally slipped in a moment of carelessness, causing her to actually slap Dong Xin Yan, but who would’ve thought—no matter how well discussed beforehand—the second, third, and fourth takes, her hand still solidly slapped down.

In just a short while, Dong Xin Yan had taken several slaps from Tang Qian.

Tang Qian still wore a look of surprise and disbelief, "Director, I’m sorry, I don’t know why I slapped down again. I guess I got too into the role..."

Everyone present had been in the industry for a long time, each a sharp-eyed person; how could they not understand the situation before them?

The first time Tang Qian slipped, it could be called an accident. But slipping every time—no one would believe it wasn’t intentional. It was obvious Tang Qian didn’t like Dong Xin Yan and used the opportunity to deliberately slap her.

And Tang Qian disliking Dong Xin Yan was understandable.

Tang Qian had been rumored with Mr. Gu before; they might have truly been together. But now, Mr. Gu’s woman is Dong Xin Yan, which seems to show that Tang Qian was not over it, thus causing trouble for Dong Xin Yan.
