My Ex-husband Asked Me to Remarry Him Every Day -
Chapter 309 - 308: Of course, I think my boyfriend is more handsome than other men
Chapter 309: Chapter 308: Of course, I think my boyfriend is more handsome than other men
In the final grand conclusion, Hua Jing headed to Liu Aide’s hometown, where she taught children to dance ballet and then spent the rest of her life there, remaining unmarried.
Meeting Liu Aide in her youth, Hua Jing missed out on a lifetime.
...
The actor playing Liu Aide was a capable performer named Xu Anfeng.
He had a late start in his career and was a late bloomer.
Now in his early thirties, he has been in several films that didn’t make a big splash.
But his acting skills are widely recognized.
In today’s era where popularity rules, he’s just lacking a breakout moment.
Xu Anfeng has deep-set features, a somewhat mixed-race appearance, more Western-looking, tall and well-built, brimming with masculinity.
When Qiao Xi took a promotional photo with him, dressed in his uniform, she saw through him to Liu Aide.
He was imposing and still carried a rare youthful air.
She had seen somewhere before that Xu Anfeng was the type of actor who could become whatever he played.
Xu Anfeng was rather reticent, but their cooperation was not a bit discordant, as they both were dedicated professionals.
The first scene.
Qiao Xi appeared on camera in a simple cloth shirt with two braids draped over her chest.
Hua Jing was helping out at the family-run inn.
There was a sesame pancake shop downstairs at the inn.
However, Hua Jing, the inn’s only daughter, didn’t aspire to this.
She loved ballet.
In her spare time, she would dance at the inn for everyone to watch.
Here, the local customs were simple, and people for miles around knew about the pancake shop owner’s daughter who could dance ballet.
Some people enjoyed watching her dance and would come specifically to buy pancakes.
For Hua Jing, aside from her unfulfilled dream, life was already quite beautiful.
That day, after she finished dancing, applause surged through the area like waves.
Qiao Xi turned her face, her features petite and delicate, her expression spirited, pure with a touch of simplicity, and carrying an unearthly spirit untouched by worldliness.
However, in times of unrest, beauty is a double-edged sword.
Hua Jing’s father came out and sternly stopped her.
Hua Jing felt her dream was not understood.
She ran out of the inn, upset.
She reached the sycamore woods at the foot of the mountain.
The green trees, black earth, blue sky, and white clouds were sharply divided, creating a vivid and striking image.
She twirled and danced here, the scene both beautiful and seemingly laced with danger.
"Woo—"
"Rumble rumble—"
The sound of a passing train resounded.
Everyone thought it was just an ordinary day, as usual.
But they didn’t know that the civilians on the train had been hijacked.
The appearance of enemy forces completely unsettled this remote small town!
Seeing this from afar, Hua Jing’s lips tightened as she rushed back home.
Director Qian yelled, "Cut!"
Qiao Xi immediately felt relieved.
Director Qian praised her, "Qiao Xi, not bad at all!"
Qiao Xi’s performance at the start laid a good foundation for the film.
Qiao Xi smiled slightly, "Thank you, Director."
They couldn’t shoot the movie in sequence according to the script but had to shoot it scene by scene.
So next up was the scene introducing the male protagonist, Xu Anfeng.
Qiao Xi was half-reclining on a lounge chair, while Bei Bei sat on a small stool next to her.
"Sister Xi, this Xu Anfeng is so tall and handsome!" Bei Bei clasped her face, starting to swoon over the person filming.
He was wearing a fake beard and his skin was darkened a shade, exuding a composed and awe-inspiring presence.
A tall, handsome man, wild yet manly, indeed enough to make a young girl’s heart flutter.
Qiao Xi glanced at her, "Really?"
Bei Bei nodded emphatically, "Mhm, don’t you think so?"
Qiao Xi rested her chin on her hand, her phoenix eyes gazing through the crowd at Xu Anfeng, "He’s alright, I suppose. But I think Boss Shen is more handsome."
Hearing Qiao Xi’s casual remark, Bei Bei was stunned, turned her head to look at Qiao Xi, somewhat incredulous.
"Sister Xi, did you just compliment Boss Shen?"
"Mm-hmm."
Qiao Xi’s eyes curved with a smile, "Can’t you tell?"
Bei Bei was thoroughly shocked, "I can, but I didn’t expect you to compliment Boss Shen in front of me. And you two..."
She dared not ask the rest.
What exactly was the relationship between these two people?
After all this back and forth, shouldn’t there be a good outcome?
Qiao Xi smiled faintly, "Of course, I think my boyfriend is more handsome than other men."
Wildflowers are never as fragrant as those at home.
Boss Shen, of course, was more appealing than other men.
Bei Bei: "...!"
Bei Bei covered her mouth, a hint of shock still escaping through her eyes.
Boyfriend???
"Sister Xi, does that mean you and Boss Shen are now in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?"
"That’s right."
Qiao Xi lightly nodded.
"What boyfriend and girlfriend? Is Teacher Qiao dating now?"
Zhong Xinran had walked over.
She had only heard the words boyfriend and girlfriend and had no idea what they were talking about.
Qiao Xi’s face still bore a smile, though it faded a bit, "The entertainment circle should know I’m married, and being married, I certainly can’t be dating a boyfriend."
Was this sentence forcing her to feign ignorance?
Zhong Xinran covered her mouth in surprise, "I actually forgot, now that you mention it, I still don’t know who Teacher Qiao’s husband is."
The Goddess of Divine Beauty’s mysterious husband has always been a point of curiosity for everyone.
She only knew that Qiao Xi had a powerful backer, so she didn’t dare to offend.
"If we don’t want to say it, it means we don’t want others to know, so why are you asking?" Bei Bei huffed.
She was just chatting with Sister Xi, not knowing why this person came over.
"Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked," Zhong Xinran didn’t get upset and maintained a polite demeanor.
"It’s just that Teacher Shu mentioned a bit about Teacher Qiao during a casual chat," Zhong Xinran looked at Qiao Xi’s expression after she spoke, hoping Qi Xi would ask for details.
However, Qiao Xi didn’t react as expected. Her voice was cool and distant, with a half-smile, "Is that so?"
Zhong Xinran was taken aback, hastily nodding, "Yes."
Qiao Xi withdrew her gaze, "...Oh."
Zhong Xinran: "..."
What did "oh" mean?
Was she not curious at all?
Of course, Qiao Xi was not curious.
The person she was in others’ mouths had nothing to do with her.
She had no previous interactions with Shu Jing, but after the past few days, she felt Shu Jing was quite alright.
Zhong Xinran awkwardly excused herself and walked away.
Qiao Xi didn’t have the time to bother with her, her own scenes were coming up.
The shooting schedule was tight, and Qiao Xi filmed until evening before wrapping up.
Returning to her accommodation and tidying up, it was already late, and after a tiring day, she had no intention to play with her phone.
Naturally, she missed Boss Shen’s messages.
The following month Qiao Xi was very busy.
After shooting in Haoshui Town for a month, the filming scheduled there was completed.
Next, they moved to a small town in Mo City.
The director gave everyone two days off, plus one additional day considering the hard work over the month.
Sitting in the car from Haoshui Town to the airport, Qiao Xi just happened to receive a call from Boss Shen.
She put on her headphones and then answered the call.
"I thought you were ignoring my calls again."
Boss Shen’s voice conveyed a bit of wistful grievance.
Qiao Xi leaned lazily against the seatback, her voice languid, "Here I am, answering your call, aren’t I?"
