Chapter 240: Chapter 238: The New Second Female Lead

Wen Qiao lifted her eyelids to take a glance across the table and saw Lin Ruochun’s pitiful little face, her brows sullen and drooping. Reaching out, she scratched under Ruochun’s chin, "Hey, just eat a little less, and then get up early tomorrow morning to go for a run. No need to deprive your poor mouth."

"Running?" Lin Ruochun perked up a bit and asked, "Will you accompany me?"

"I’d rather not." Wen Qiao quickly withdrew her hand upon hearing this and continued to slurp her porridge quietly.

"Hey!" Lin Ruochun glared at her, "Don’t you need to exercise to burn calories?"

"No need," Wen Qiao chuckled proudly, "I don’t get fat."

Lin Ruochun took a deep breath, stretched out a hand, and pointed in a random direction, "Get out of my trailer, now, immediately, at once!"

"Don’t get so fired up first thing in the morning."

Compared to Lin Ruochun’s explosive temper, Wen Qiao was much more composed. She rolled an egg around the table with her slender, dexterous fingers, and in no time she had peeled the shell. She handed the smooth egg to Lin Ruochun, "Here, peeled it for you."

"....."

Lin Ruochun looked at the egg in front of her and then at Wen Qiao’s grinning face, reluctantly accepting it, "I’m magnanimous. I won’t hold it against you."

"Okay," Wen Qiao started peeling another egg, "As long as you’re happy."

All of a sudden, Lin Ruochun said, "I heard that our new female lead will be joining us today."

Wen Qiao raised her eyebrows in slight surprise, "Really? Director Zhang found someone so quickly?"

"It seems it wasn’t Director Zhang who found her, but that she happened to be free and approached us on her own."

After finishing the last spoonful of porridge, Lin Ruochun patted her stomach and belched, continuing under Wen Qiao’s disgusted gaze, "She’s apparently from Huasong, and wasn’t there news of a car accident a while back?"

Wen Qiao set the egg yolk aside, crushed the egg white in her porridge, and stirred it lazily before saying, "With all these ’seems’ and ’apparently,’ how credible is this news?"

"It’s credible!" Lin Ruochun got upset again at being doubted, "My information is always reliable, alright? You can question the paparazzi’s sources, but not mine."

Wen Qiao let out a scoff, about to retort when she stopped stirring her porridge.

Wait a minute.

Huasong?

Car accident? Could it be such a coincidence?

She suddenly lifted her head from her bowl of porridge, looking at Lin Ruochun, "Do you know the name of the new female lead?"

"Why are you asking me if you think I’m unreliable?" Lin Ruochun turned her head away haughtily, but before Wen Qiao could press further, she couldn’t hold back, "Never mind, I’ll tell you. After all, I’m generous. It’s something Wen—huh? Wen what was it—"

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Before Lin Ruochun could recall the new actress’s name, Director Zhang walked in from outside the set, a woman following behind him.

Hearing Director Zhang’s voice, everyone on set turned to look.

"Due to some incidents that happened before, we’ve had to change our female lead," Director Zhang said while stepping to the side to gesture towards the woman standing next to him, "This is Wen Shu, who previously starred in ’Ju Lian’, and she will be playing the role of Princess Xuanjia from now on."

"Ah! Right! Her name is Wen Shu."

Prompted by the director’s "hint," Lin Ruochun finally remembered the new female lead’s name.
