"Gu Jiaojiao, what's wrong? Weren't you so heartless when you abandoned me? And now you have the nerve to come crawling back!"
Xie Yuan gripped the woman's chin, his gaze vicious yet restrained, as though he wanted to burn straight through her.
Tears of regret streamed down the woman's face. "A Yuan, I'm sorry!"
Xie Yuan released her. Just as the woman thought she was safe, he pinned her against the wall and leaned in to kiss her.
"Wait!" Gu Qingcheng hurriedly called a stop.
"Gu Qingcheng, what is wrong with you?" the director snapped.
Gu Qingcheng raised her hand in a panic. "Director, can we use a double here?"
Director Li frowned. The kissing scenes in this drama were only supposed to use camera angles. Emperor Si never kissed anyone. Didn't she know that?
At the mention of a double, a woman who had been waiting nearby could no longer contain herself. She raised her hand. "Director, me! Pick me!"
"Director, I can fake it for the camera. I just want the Film Emperor to pin me against a wall once. That would make my whole life worthwhile!"
Tang Xueqing also spoke up, blushing. "My build is pretty close to Qingcheng's. I could stand in for her too."
"Pfft!"
Watching from the sidelines, Tang Shiba couldn't help laughing.
Fang Cheng slyly asked her why she was laughing.
Tang Shiba told him in a whisper, "That first woman who spoke is already a mother of three."
"The second one loves eating garlic. Let her do it, and... bleurgh!"
Are they trying to knock the Film Emperor out with their breath so they can give him mouth-to-mouth? So sneaky!
*And Tang Xueqing likes Si Wuyu. She's dying to plaster herself against him right this second. Forget kissing-tell her to lie down
