"What?!"
Wei Yun and Lu Jiaoyue cried out in unison, their voices rising in pitch. The difference was that the former sounded surprised, while the latter sounded panicked.
"S-Sis? How could I possibly act?" Lu Jiaoyue, who had been sitting quietly beside them, could no longer sit still. She anxiously clutched Lu Xiaoxiao's sleeve, her expression both nervous and bewildered.
She stammered, "W-Wasn't this role already yours? How could I take your role from you?"
"Exactly, Xiaoxiao." Wei Yun also frowned slightly, clearly not quite understanding her intentions. She chose her words carefully. "We agreed from the start that you would play her. Changing actresses at the last minute... wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
Despite her words, her gaze had already begun to drift over Lu Jiaoyue instinctively. Something flickered in her eyes, as though she was already weighing the possibility.
Noticing Wei Yun's gaze, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help smiling. She first patted Lu Jiaoyue's hand to reassure her younger sister, then folded her arms across her chest and asked Wei Yun with interest, "If you find an actress who's a better fit and promptly make the switch, what's inappropriate about that?"
Once she finished speaking, Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at her own arms and inexplicably felt that the way she was speaking just then was remarkably like Ji Yunhuai.
Yep, both the tone and the gestures were a little like his.
She hadn't spent much time with this man, yet her everyday habits were becoming more and more like his. It was funny in a way she couldn't quite describe.
At that thought, Lu Xiaoxiao nearly burst out laughing, but she quickly reined in her wandering thoughts, cleared her throat, and continued speaking to Wei Yun. "Director Wei, you've been watching my sister ever since you first saw her, haven't you?"
