Qin Qiaoer was chatting merrily with Li Fujin here, completely oblivious to Zhao Youting lurking in the corner, staring at them sinisterly.
He had an inexplicable hunch that Li Fujin must have some strange ideas about Qin Qiaoer.
It wasn't that he suspected every man who came near Qin Qiaoer of having an affair with her. But the way Li Fujin looked at Qin Qiaoer seemed rather odd.
Moreover, for a senior like Li Fujin to come to Qin Qiaoer's dressing room on his own initiative was somewhat out of the ordinary.
However, since Li Fujin was the actor who was going to co - star with Qin Qiaoer this time, their cooperation during the shooting was really excellent. Zhao Youting, who was watching from the side, was also drawn into their emotions.
It was just that after the shooting ended, Qin Qiaoer seemed innocent and clueless, while Li Fujin seemed to have some ulterior motives.
As Qin Qiaoer's boyfriend, he couldn't interfere too much in her social life. After all, Li Fujin hadn't done anything wrong yet, so he had to turn a blind eye for the time being.
Even though he thought so, Zhao Youting still felt a bit off. He even heard Li Fujin asking Qin Qiaoer for her phone number, saying it would be convenient for them to get in touch.
Although Zhao Youting pretended not to care, he had his ears pricked up, trying to catch every word they said.
Li Fujin used the lame excuse of being able to call her anytime to discuss acting.
Zhao Youting was so angry that he was about to rush out and stop Qin Qiaoer from giving out her phone number, but he finally held back.
Qin Qiaoer and Li Fujin had a great conversation. In the end, Qin Qiaoer, with a beaming smile on her face, saw Li Fujin out, which was completely different from her previous cold and aloof demeanor.
Qin Qiaoer wasn't the kind of person who liked to get close to others. She was always cold towards strangers, but a cute little thing in front of people she knew well.
She just didn't like to talk much, but others always thought she was very aloof and thus consciously kept their distance from her.
Qin Qiaoer had just met Li Fujin for the first time today, but Li Fujin was such a warm - hearted person. She thought this senior was so kind to newbies.
After Li Fujin left Qin Qiaoer's dressing room, Qin Qiaoer started to remove her makeup. When she had packed up all her things and was about to leave, she suddenly felt something was amiss.
She had been packing for such a long time, but Zhao Youting hadn't come to talk to her. On a normal day, he would have been by her side long ago.
It was no wonder that Qin Qiaoer had such thoughts. She had gradually gotten used to having Zhao Youting by her side all the time.
It seemed that whenever she needed to look up, Zhao Youting would be there to accompany her. So Qin Qiaoer subconsciously thought that Zhao Youting would never leave.
At this moment, Qin Qiaoer started to look for Zhao Youting in the dressing room, only to find that he wasn't there. She asked a staff member nearby and learned that Zhao Youting had taken the two kids out earlier.
Zhao Youting had felt a bit suffocated in the dressing room, so he decided to go outside to avoid seeing things that would bother him. He thought that if he couldn't see, he wouldn't have to think so much.
He was playing with the two kids outside and lost track of time. When he realized that Qin Qiaoer should be finishing up soon, she suddenly appeared beside him.
When Zhao Youting saw Qin Qiaoer smiling so brightly, he suddenly remembered how he had felt earlier, and his expression turned a bit strange.
Although his tone and actions were the same as usual, Qin Qiaoer still detected a hint of estrangement in Zhao Youting's eyes. She was very sensitive and felt that something was wrong.
She asked Zhao Youting cautiously, "What's wrong with you?"
If Qin Qiaoer hadn't said anything, Zhao Youting might have gotten over this incident. He believed that he could overcome this hurdle in his heart as long as he had enough time.
But Qin Qiaoer's sudden concern made Zhao Youting feel a bit wronged. He felt as if Qin Qiaoer had just remembered him.
Unable to hold it back any longer, Zhao Youting blurted out, "You're done chatting with Li Fujin?"
Zhao Youting didn't even realize that this sentence was full of jealousy. Qin Qiaoer instantly understood what he meant.
"What? Are you jealous?" Qin Qiaoer asked knowingly.
Seeing Qin Qiaoer's reaction, Zhao Youting felt a bit embarrassed. He was a grown man, yet he was jealous over such a trivial matter. He wasn't a seventeen - or eighteen - year - old girl.
Zhao Youting quickly changed the subject, "Since you've finished packing, let's go home quickly. You must be quite tired today."
As he said this, he was about to leave. Qin Qiaoer quickly grabbed his sleeve and ran in front of him. Looking into his eyes, she said, "I was just asking him for some advice on acting."
Zhao Youting replied sulkily, "I know."
Qin Qiaoer stood on tiptoe and gently patted Zhao Youting's head, "Don't be a stingy guy. Don't be jealous. We're just work - related. We'll definitely cooperate in the future, so you have to get used to it quickly.
As my family member, you have to cheer me on."
Although Zhao Youting knew that what Qin Qiaoer said was true and that their relationship was just for work, and it was impossible for Qin Qiaoer to completely ignore Li Fujin, he still couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart. Maybe it was because this was Qin Qiaoer's first time acting, and he had to gradually learn to be the family member of an actor.
Zhao Youting was coaxed like a child by Qin Qiaoer. Qin Qiaoer had already found a way to comfort Zhao Youting.
After all, she was the mother of two children and had long learned how to get along with kids. Now she regarded Zhao Youting as a child too.
Sometimes, you just have to go along with his ideas and give him a little coaxing, and he'll be very happy.
