Chapter 42 - Scars (“Xu WanZhi, are you afraid of me?”) (2)
The kidnappers didn’t know the skinny him back then had chosen to not run away. It wasn’t because he couldn’t, it was that he wanted to wait for an opportunity to get revenge.
He was only able to cut through the ropes that had bound him because he stole a knife from one of the kidnappers. He had the knife with him the entire time. He waited for the day that the group split up and took care of them one by one.
But he didn’t want to scare the little girl with the bloody story.
He curved his lips and gave her a wicked smile, “Well? Are you still scared?”
“I…” Xu WanZhi paused for a little, then shook her head.
His smile deepened, and he moved closer to her and pinned her on the wall. Placing one of his hands on the wall, he said, “You didn’t want to talk to me at all when you come home, but you have the time to listen to that Jiang guy. Is that appropriate, Xu WanZhi? Whatever happened to your excellent customer service?”
His words made Xu WanZhi speechless. After a little while, she said quietly, “Tomorrow… Shen Yi, the male lead of ‘Blossoming Us’ will be joining the filming crew tomorrow. The director said there will be an opening ceremony afterward, so I won’t be home for dinner.”
“Shen Yi?” Mu ZhenYu repeated the name and it took him a while to put the name with a face. “The one standing next to you on Bai Fei’s birthday?”
Baffled, Xu WanZhi quickly clarified. “There is nothing going on between the two of us.”
But Mu ZhenYu only squinted again and said, “Your director is sure good at brown nosing. Alright, you go. Don’t drink too much and don’t come home too late.”

Shen Yi joined the filming crew the next day and the crew focused madly on the scenes between the male and female leads. After the entire day, all the filming took a toll on Xu WanZhi’s body. Thinking about the opening ceremony dinner gave her a headache.
Xu WanZhi returned to her nanny van after she was done for the day, then she proceeded immediately to change her clothes and reapply her makeup. As the female lead, she was a little privileged – at least she could arrive after the female support character, Chang XiaoYa.
She picked a black tube top nightgown with sequins on the hem. Its built-in bustle made her look light and graceful. The short skirt covered up the important parts of her, and her white collarbone and long and slender legs were exposed for all to see. She was both cute and sexy.
The makeup artist put a decorative diamond at the corner of her eyes. It looked like a drop of mermaid tear and made her look both mysterious and seductive.
When Xu WanZhi arrived, most of the dishes had already been served and everyone had already had two rounds of drinks. Even the normally scholarly Shen Yi had drank a little too much.
Xu WanZhi stood under the grand crystal chandelier. The light, reflecting on her body, made her look like she was covered in crystals. Shen Yi’s lazy look changed a little. He waved at her slightly and had her go and sit next to him.
Normally speaking, the male and female leads should be sitting on both sides of the director and vice director. But all the seats had been taken, so she had no other options but to sit next to Shen Yi.
Chang XiaoYa sat by the entrance area. Xu WanZhi barely looked over at her before she quickly took her seat.
The director looked first at Xu WanZhi, then over at Shen Yi. Probably thinking that her being late was disrespectful to Shen Yi, their guest, he said to her, “Why are you so late, WanZhi? You should have a 3-drink penalty.”
Nobody expected Shen Yi to pick up the bottle of red wine, pour some out for Xu WanZhi, and say, “Penalty, yes. But I will make the call that WanZhi only needs to have three sips.”
And that’s when the director realized that Shen Yi was helping her out.
His eyes were beaming when he looked at her.
