to a bridge, she continued while driving, "Most artists in your position usually have agents, assistants, bodyguards, and an entire team responsible for their romances, exposure, and image packaging....Chapter 104
This time when they heard about her accident, they hurriedly called Cai Xiaojing and rushed to the hospital.
The moment Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen arrived, Ye Nimo and Lin Ning left, finding it inconvenient to stay. Since Mr. Wen wasn't feeling well recently, Mrs. Wen sent him back in the evening.
Wen Ran's arm was extremely painful, and her head was wrapped in bandages. Upon waking up, she first wondered if her face had been disfigured.
As a professional actress, she cared deeply about her appearance.
Mrs. Wen looked at her irritably; all she cared about was her little face. This made Mrs. Wen even angrier, and she glared fiercely at Wen Ran, who shrunk her shoulders pitifully with teary eyes.
Seeing her daughter's expression, Mrs. Wen couldn't help but give in. Knowing that she was hungry, Mrs. Wen took out the porridge and bone soup from the thermos and fed her bite by bite.
"How did you get hurt Why weren’t you more careful"
“Mom, it’s okay, it's not serious. Don't worry, Dad and Mom. It’s common to have little incidents while filming; you know how absent-minded I am. It’s fine.” Wen Ran comforted her mother with a forced smile despite the pain. "It doesn’t hurt anymore."
“Stop pretending. You had thirteen stitches. What does not hurting mean Thank goodness, nothing too serious happened." Mrs. Wen glared at her. Wen Ran pouted but didn't say anything more.
Cai Xiaojing bought some fruit and returned to see that she was awake, putting her mind at ease.
After drinking the porridge and soup, Cai Xiaojing said, "Aunt, you can go home and rest for tonight. I'll stay with Wen Ran."
"How could I be so rude Miss Cai, you’ve been busy running around, too. Warm usually causes you a lot of trouble; how can I ask any more of you You should go back to rest while I stay here." Mrs. Wen was very traditional and insisted on staying the night with her child when they were injured. She couldn’t burden Cai Xiaojing like this.
Whenever he calls back, he always says how good Xiao Jing Cai is and that she's quite grateful to her.
"Auntie, you're too polite. Just call me Xiao Jing; I'm her agent, so it’s my job to handle these matters. If any reporters sneak in at night, you won’t know how to deal with them. You should go back and rest. Warm has no serious problems, and I don't want you to be exhausted here."
Warm was smart enough to chime in: "Yes, Mom, you should go back and rest. You can't sleep well at the hospital."
After much deliberation, Mrs. Wen nodded and gave a few instructions before leaving the hospital.
"Xiao Jing姐, did I cause any trouble for the production"
"How could you not We're already short on time, and we need to shoot 'Beauty Captivating the City.' Director Zhang is almost in despair. But don't worry about that now; just focus on getting better," said Xiao Jing Cai. "This incident was due to a mistake by one of the stunt performers."
"I see." Warm didn’t mind, but she felt down because she had caused more trouble for the production.
“'Beauty Captivating the City' only has ten minutes of footage—why does it need half a month to shoot” asked Warm. Lin Ning said that Bai Xiwen's role was only ten minutes long, which sounded unbelievable to her since an entire movie named 'Beauty Captivating the City,' lasting two hours, would almost make the main character a supporting one.
Other actors had their parts well-rehearsed; she just needed to act and it could be edited later. It shouldn't be too difficult for her as this was a post-production matter.
Xiao Jing Cai shook her head: "Originally, the main character in 'Beauty Captivating the City' had ninety minutes of screen time. But because Lin Ning wasn’t satisfied with Bai Xiwen’s performance, she cut it down to ten minutes purely out of dissatisfaction. Although you're only replacing those ninety minutes of footage, film requirements are different from TV series ones, making it more difficult and time-consuming."
Warm looked at her uninjured hand and hesitated before asking: "Doctor said when can I be discharged"
"One week. You also need another thorough brain scan," replied Xiao Jing Cai.
Warm shook her head: "I'll check out of the hospital tomorrow and return to set. The injury on my forehead isn't serious; it should heal up by tomorrow, so makeup will cover it fine. There's no need for a full-body shot anyway. I’ll start with individual shots and emotional scenes.
"You're crazy"
"It's okay, I can handle it."
"Who said you could" Ye Feimo's cold voice cut into the room. His tall and imposing figure stood at the door, staring icily at Wēn Nuǎn, his dark eyes deep and enigmatic.
Wēn Nuǎn was taken aback, not expecting to see Ye Feimo here.
Cai Xiaojing tactfully left the room.
Ye Feimo remained there all along. When Wēn Nuǎn's parents arrived, he and Lin Ning had no choice but to leave. After Lin Ning left, he drove around the hospital a few times before returning and waiting downstairs.
Only after Wēn Nuǎn’s mother left did he come upstairs.
The moment he came up, he heard Wēn Nuǎn saying she wanted to check out of the hospital and continue shooting her scenes. He was worried and angry, his tone naturally not very pleasant.
After they had a fight that evening, they hadn’t spoken much since then. In the morning, he ran into Han Bi in the elevator at the apartment complex, leading Wēn Nuǎn to think Ye Feimo and Han Bi were rekindling their old romance over the past two nights.
Thus, she had no good expression for him: "I want to check out of the hospital and continue shooting my scenes. I just injured my arm, not everything."
Ye Feimo walked over and looked down at her from his height. This girl’s stubbornness made him want to bash open her head and see what was inside that seemed to get dumber every time she bumped into something.
"Before you decide to be a hero, please read the contract with Anning International carefully. All work follows orders. If I tell you to stay in the hospital, then stay there and don't leave until your stitches are removed," Ye Feimo said coldly, suppressing his temper.
Wēn Nuǎn thought of Han Bi's face when she was talking to her and responded indifferently: "What right do you have to tell me what to do"
Ye Feimo's expression immediately darkened as he suddenly lowered his head, and the warmth of her face was so close that she could clearly count each of his eyelashes. Nuewan was startled; his deep gaze coldly fixed on her, asking, "What are you sulking about"
"Who is sulking at you." Nuewan avoided him, as Ye Feimo had come too close for comfort. His breath was right in front of her face, and she was not used to such intimacy even though they had done everything between them already.
Her heart suddenly started racing.
Ye Feimo solemnly said, "If you're not sulking, then recover your injuries properly at the hospital."
"I will delay the production schedule," Nuewan replied with a cold gaze fixed on Ye Feimo. "Are you not the one who hates it most when employees use illness as an excuse to avoid work"
Ye Feimo was speechless, this damned girl could be so sharp-tongued sometimes.
"Right, why are you here at such a late hour," Nuewan looked at him and asked softly. "Did you come to see me"
Ye Feimo was exasperated; he had already shown up, yet she still said something so foolish. He could not contain his anger and replied solemnly, "Who would specially come just for you I came to visit a senior relative, and coincidentally saw you."
Nuewan made an oh sound and smiled sweetly, "You've already seen the person; don't let me hold you up. Thank you very much for your concern, Mr Ye, this is truly flattering."
"Nuewan, are you still sulking about what happened that night" Ye Feimo suddenly asked. Nuewan felt every word like a thorn, and she definitely didn't know what he had done behind her back.
"Nope, I've already forgotten it," Nuewan said innocently.
Ye Feimo was momentarily at a loss for words; they fell into silence. Nuewan felt somewhat uncomfortable but couldn't pinpoint why. She sat with a sulky look on her face.
The hurt in her heart was more painful than the wound on her arm.filming at the beginning of the year and is scheduled for release in the New Year's holiday season; if it doesn't make it in time, they'll push back its release until next summer."Nuwan, how long has...
