Chapter 120 - "I just want to talk. Let's head into the dressing room." (1)

When the noises disappeared from the end of the hallway, the office door that was ajar opened up and Assistant Director Lin walked out with his mug and a grin on his face.

There was someone else behind him – Geng Hongyu, who had been hiding in the office but never showed his face.

Assistant Director Lin looked away from the other direction and said with a smile, “What did I tell you, Director Geng?”

Geng Hongyu frowned and didn’t anything.

Assistant Director Lin, “Young Master Liu is almost at the end of the rope here. Gu Nian is probably the only one who was still oblivious at this point.”

Geng Hongyu, “You sure that’s who he is?”

Assistant Director Lin, “Pretty much.”

“But we heard nothing about it before he joined.”

“With their background, it’s not difficult to hide their identity.”

“How are you so sure then?”

“Hah.” Assistant Director Lin switched his mug over to his other hand and said cheerfully. “He had decided against concealing his identity for the sake of his own convenience. How else do you think?”

“.. ..”

Seeing that Geng Hongyu did not response, Assistant Director Lin didn’t know what else to say. “You still don’t believe me?”

“If that’s really who he is, he shouldn’t have join the group reluctantly and definitely should not have fallen for that girl.”

“There’s only whether you have met the person, not whether it was appropriate or not when it comes to matters of romance. You have directed quite a few romance movies yourself and have seen many love affairs that needed to be kept secret. You of all people should believe in it.”

Geng Hongyu frowned again and looked over at the direction that the two had left. He turned back around.

Looking more or less convinced, he still had to ask, “What is going on between these two then?”

“Them? Xiao Gu had all sorts of crazy ideas on just about anything except this one time. I think she is just oblivious. As for the young master, if Xiao Gu doesn’t have a boyfriend, he will pull any trick in the book to hook his little mermaid. If she does, then..”

Geng Hongyu lifted his brows and asked, “Then what?”

Assistant Director Lin, rubbing the side of the crudely made mug, chuckled peculiarly.

“Probably to steal her away from him.”

By the time Gu Nian arrived at the studio, the styling team had already received the notification from the director tam and was awaiting her arrival. Gu Nian had just stepped foot into the studio when she was stopped and taken away by the makeup artist from Zong Shiyi’s side to start getting her ready for the role of “Ding Qiao”.

Zhang Xiying’s makeup artist, as the makeup artist for the female lead, was naturally a top notch one in the team and always looked mean and nobody wanted to cross.

Gu Nian normally do not apply makeup at all and was not used to heavy makeup. She tried to put in her two cents’ worth when she saw the makeup artist approached her with her large cosmetics case.

“I’m just the body double, I don’t think I will need such heavy..”

“You have a kiss scene from an angle with a partially hidden face. Who will be held accountable when the camera takes a closeup and exposed you if your makeup wasn’t sufficient enough?”

Gu Nian was most afraid of the type of personality that was very similar to that of Lin Nantian’s. She was dispirited immediately and remained silent.

“You think that just because you are young you don’t need to worry about skincare. Nevermind that you leave your house with no makeup on, just look at these dark circles under your eyes!”

“I am a screenwriter, not an actress.” Gu Nian defended herself softly.

“This has nothing to do with your profession! Pulling all-nighters are bad for your blood, your qi, and your foundation. Whatever that you could see on you is nothing compared to what is going on inside of you!”

“.. ..”
