He's Mine, No Objections Allowed ✔

Chapter 46

The whole thing about cheating had come to an end here. Wu Xue kept busy with what she had to do, her mood very calm and steady.

Since the scandals Wu Ke had quietened down, all those little moves he made to irritate and agitate Su Yi had suddenly stopped.

...

The make-up room.

Wu Xue hung up the Qipao Su Yi had just changed out of. "He's afraid at the moment that you'd get involved in that rubbish that's his life and make it a bigger deal, of course, he won't continue provoking you."

"Who wants to get involved, I just want to be a mute spectator." Su Yi used a paper napkin to remove her lipstick and took a bite of the apple. "But this is good too, the filming process is really speeding up a lot."

Chu Xi sat on the chair, visibly disgruntled.

The past two days had been especially vexing for her, what with Father Chu rushing her to go back, even booking the ticket so that she shows up for the Yang family's birthday celebration.

The Yangs might have been a big deal about a decade ago, but they had been falling behind ever since Elder Yang stepped down. The Chu family, on the other hand, had a lot of talents, each generation stronger than the previous. Today, the two families were no longer on the same footing. However, the elders, particularly the grandparents' generations, were really close, so although today Elder Chu had already passed on, with Elder Yang personally coming forward to enthusiastically invite them, Father Chu naturally agreed at once.

"Tomorrow I have to go back." Chu Xi ate her bento very half-heartedly as if chewing on wax. "All this time I spent in Shanghai I didn't do anything, I just spent it on the set with you guys."

"What's wrong with the set?" Su Yi said. "You've air-conditioning, you've all the drinks you'd need or want, all your meals are covered. How did we mistreat you?"

"This time when I go back, they will definitely not let me come again." A petulant Chu Xi voiced her grievance.

"Then you stay there." Su Yi got a bowl of soup. "I can't wait to go back to Beijing."

Chu Ying had someone send today's bentos to the set; extras were added to everyone else's bento, while Su Yi had meat, veggies as well as soup. It was specifically sent to the set to keep them from having to go out and find a place to order take-away from after filming.

Wu Xue was just eating when the phone beside her rang. These days, she got jitters just hearing the phone ring. After a long while, she fished it out of her pocket unwillingly only to see that it was from the office.

She hurriedly dried her hands and picked up.

"Something's the matter?"

"Yeah, she's filming in Shanghai."

"Soon, she'll be done in a while ... Day after tomorrow? She might not have time, what is it?"

"Why didn't you say this earlier? Now that the scenes have been arranged how do you expect Little Yi to take leave so last minute?"

"All right, I'll talk to her."

After seeing she had hung up, Su Yi looked up and asked, "What is it?"

"Said that there's a last-minute prize-giving ceremony." Wu Xue was a little angry, and her tone irritated. "Evening, the day after tomorrow, and they only inform you now! How are they doing their work? Do they think that taking leave can be done wily-nily? If you don't want to go I'll reject them right now, this is their mistake, they can't do anything to you even if you don't go."
