Facing Ying You'an's strange noises, Lin Xuyang naturally understood what he meant. His earlobes turned slightly red as he chuckled and said, "The characters in the play all like Miss Meng very much."
"Really?" Ying You'an hooked his lips and snorted, "So Mr. Lin likes her very much too."
Hearing his words, Meng Nianchu frowned slightly.
Lin Xuyang averted his eyes nervously and looked elsewhere.
The atmosphere gradually became delicate. A young and stylish girl rushed into the villa in a hurry. When she saw Lin Xuyang, her eyes lit up. She quickened her pace, pushed through the crowd, and ran to his side, then hooked his arm.
"Why are you here?" Lin Xuyang was a bit surprised to see her.
The girl said sweetly, "I went to your filming set and happened to see you coming here. I was bored anyway, so I followed."
As she said this, she caught sight of Meng Nianchu.
"You're Miss Meng. You look even better in person than the photos my brother showed me." The girl reached out her hand, "Hello, I'm Lin Xuyi, his younger sister. We're blood - related. Don't get me wrong."
Meng Nianchu gave a gentle smile, "Hello."
At this time, the assistant director came to find Ying You'an and said there were some work - related matters to discuss with him. Ying You'an gave Meng Nianchu a meaningful look and then went to a clean room on the second floor with the assistant director.
With no strangers around, Lin Xuyi became even more enthusiastic. She moved closer to Meng Nianchu and patted her on the shoulder. "I used to worry that my brother might like men because he never seemed to like any women. I didn't expect him to be so low - key usually but make such a big move when he finally did."
She didn't hide her scrutiny of Meng Nianchu at all.
"My brother has good taste."
Meng Nianchu maintained her smile.
It was Lin Xuyang who blushed shyly. He grabbed Lin Xuyi's arm and pulled her back to his side. "Stay quietly by my side and don't talk nonsense."
"How can this be nonsense? With your shy personality when talking to the girl you like, I'm worried you won't be able to express yourself clearly."
"Stop talking!"
Since Lin Xuyi had so bluntly said what was on Lin Xuyang's mind, he felt his breathing getting quicker.
Meng Nianchu pretended not to hear and her expression remained unchanged.
Seeing that she showed no reaction at all, a flash of disappointment crossed Lin Xuyang's eyes.
"My sister is just..."
"That's Mu Junze! Why is he here?"
"He's so handsome!"
"What else could he be here for? Of course, he's here to find Meng Nianchu."
Suddenly, there was a stir in the villa. Meng Nianchu followed the sound and saw Mu Junze. He was wearing a delicate suit, holding a bouquet of roses in his hand, and walking slowly towards her against the moonlight.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
"Here you are." Mu Junze handed the roses to Meng Nianchu.
It was quite a challenge for him to do this in front of so many people. Meng Nianchu obediently took the roses and gave a charming smile, "I like them very much!"
Mu Junze's mouth curved slightly, and then he reached out and put his arm around Meng Nianchu.
Lin Xuyi, who had been standing beside them, didn't take her eyes off Mu Junze since she first saw him. She only came back to her senses when he put his arm around Meng Nianchu.
These two?
She looked at her elder brother in confusion.
An embarrassed look appeared on Lin Xuyang's face.
Hearing that Mu Junze had come to the villa, Meng Rong, who was mingling in the crowd, walked over happily. When she stood in front of Mu Junze, she deliberately pulled down the collar of her dress.
"It's so late. Why did you come here, Junze?"
Meng Nianchu lowered her head to smell the roses in her arms as if showing off, "They really smell good."
Hearing her voice, Mu Junze immediately looked at her.
Not getting a response and being ignored, Meng Rong was still reluctant to give up and wanted to say something again, but was preempted by Lin Xuyi, "Who is this?"
"My husband." Meng Nianchu answered first.
Mu Junze was quite satisfied with this answer.
Lin Xuyi couldn't take her eyes off Mu Junze, "You must be Mr. Mu. I saw an interview about you on the school forum before. I really didn't expect to meet you here."
There was a strong admiration in her eyes as she looked at Mu Junze.
Meng Nianchu noticed something wrong with Lin Xuyi's attitude towards Mu Junze. She was a bit dissatisfied and leaned closer to Mu Junze. She said, "Of course my husband is great."
Seeing Meng Nianchu in his sight, Lin Xuyi, who had only wanted to focus on Mu Junze, had to look at her too. Seeing how close she was to Mu Junze, Lin Xuyi pouted.
Even more unhappy about this was Meng Rong.
But she had a hot temper and couldn't bear her jealousy. Her scolding blurted out, "There are so many people watching. You don't know how to be shy at all."
Meng Nianchu slowly turned her eyes to look at her. There was no expression on her face and she just sneered.
Without saying a word, she had already made Meng Rong half - mad with anger.
"Let's go somewhere else." Lin Xuyang couldn't stand seeing Meng Nianchu and Mu Junze being so affectionate.
Lin Xuyi was forcibly dragged away by him.
Meng Rong also walked away angrily.
"That girl looks at you so ambiguously." The anger in Meng Nianchu's heart was faintly stirred up. Seeing that even though Lin Xuyi had been dragged away, she still kept looking at Mu Junze, Meng Nianchu tightened her face and felt very uncomfortable.
Looking down at Meng Nianchu's angry look, Mu Junze couldn't help but chuckle. But just for a second, then he returned to his serious expression.
Meng Nianchu retaliated by pinching his nose hard.
The wrap - up party lasted for a very long time. Ying You'an and the assistant director went to the second floor and never came down. Meng Nianchu was sitting in the corner, leaning against Mu Junze and feeling sleepy. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the hall.
Many reporters carrying cameras came into the villa one after another. They stood against the wall in an orderly manner and started taking pictures of the actors in the hall.
At this time, Ying You'an and the assistant director came down from the second floor. Seeing that Mu Junze was also in the villa, a shadow of gloom crept into his eyes.
The assistant director shouted, "Except for Nianchu and Miss Meng, the other actors, please go to the rooms on the second floor and wait. The reporters will go up to interview you in person."
After his words, the actors in the hall gradually went upstairs. In a blink of an eye, only a few people, including Meng Nianchu, were left in the large hall.
The assistant director motioned for Meng Nianchu to go over to him.
Meng Rong was tidying her hair. Without waiting for the reporters to ask questions, she said on her own initiative, "I'm really reluctant to part with this drama after it's over. I really learned a lot and had a lot of insights from this drama."
"I hope everyone will like this drama when it's broadcast. Then my efforts will be rewarded."
After she finished talking to herself, the male photographer standing in front of her with a camera said coldly, "The camera hasn't been turned on yet."
"..."
"Pfft!" Meng Nianchu, who was approaching, burst out laughing when she heard what the photographer said.
As she got closer, the reporters bypassed Meng Rong, whose face was unhappy, and flocked to Meng Nianchu. They also raised their microphones in front of Meng Nianchu.
