With Fu Yunyi present, Old Master Fu didn't hold Xia Zhiyi back. He said he was taking him out for tea, but in reality, he still gave Xia Zhiyi and Fu Chi some time alone together.
After the two returned to their room, Xia Zhiyi was hugged from behind by Fu Chi as soon as she entered. His hot breath sprayed on her neck, causing Xia Zhiyi to tremble slightly.
He smiled and turned around, using the gesture to affectionately nuzzle Fu Chi's cheek, then gently stroked his hair. "What's wrong? Did you miss me that much?"
Fu Chi gave a soft "hmm," his voice low and deep, "I heard from Fu Yunyi that you're leaving the day after tomorrow?"
Xia Zhiyi, letting the man hold her tightly in his arms, her body relaxing. "There's only a little bit left to wrap up. I'll come back as soon as filming is finished and spend more time with you. I won't be taking on any more roles for now, okay?"
Fu Chi paused for a moment, then planted a kiss on his neck, his voice sounding somewhat muffled. "No need, you can act if you like, just don't stop me from visiting the set."
Fu Chi had his reasons for saying this; ever since Xia Zhiyi joined the cast of "Da Yan," she had basically never come out again.
Since he didn't come out, Fu Chi naturally wouldn't stay put. Whenever he had free time, or when he missed him, he would go to the film set to visit him.
Fu Chi himself wasn't the type to act recklessly. Although he went there a few more times, he didn't make a big fuss. Whenever he arrived on set and Xia Zhiyi was filming, he would quietly watch from the sidelines.
If Xia Zhiyi has free time, he will quietly spend some time with Xia Zhiyi. Even if they do nothing, Fu Chi's mood will improve a lot.
But he went there far too often.
Director Min held back, held back again and again, but finally couldn't hold back any longer. Although he didn't directly put up a sign outside the film set saying that Fu Chi and dogs were not allowed, he hinted at it to Fu Chi several times.
Fu Chi:...
He's unhappy because he won't let me see my wife.
But Director Min did this because every time Fu Chi went, although he tried to keep a low profile, some people would still notice. Some people just don't have that strong willpower and get distracted.
There's nothing you can do about it. Fu Chi is rich, powerful, and so handsome. Even though he's already taken, there are always people who think all men are fickle and want to give him a try.
Because of Fu Chi, Director Min also kicked out two young actors who were trying to go astray.
While this isn't necessarily a bad thing—it's certainly good if everyone in the crew is upright—but...
Director Min: President Fu, perhaps you should come less often.
Even if some people aren't drawn to Fu Chi's status or position, it's hard to resist his face alone.
Xia Zhiyi was unaware of this at first, after all, he had the most screen time in the crew, and he spent his free time thinking about the plot, focusing wholeheartedly on his career.
After learning about this, Xia Zhiyi was both annoyed and amused. She eventually made an agreement with Fu Chi that if he were to visit the set again, he should let her know in advance so that Xia Zhiyi discuss it with Director Min and adjust the time.
Xia Zhiyi: "It's okay. Given time, they'll know we have a good relationship, and no one will have any ulterior motives."
That's what they say, but in reality...
Xia Zhiyi thought to himself that he still needed to become strong in all aspects, strong enough that others would not dare to covet him.
However, there was no need to say these things to Fu Chi. His current goal was to appease his fiancé and make him happy.
The two snuggled together intimately in the room, but didn't do anything particularly intimate; they simply hugged each other and occasionally touched, creating a very warm and cozy atmosphere.
Xia Zhiyi then briefly recounted some interesting anecdotes from her filming experience. Some of these she had mentioned to Fu Chi before, and she added details to them; others were things she hadn't told him yet, which she shared with him.
Fu Chi wasn't interested in other people's affairs, but he really enjoyed Xia Zhiyi sharing her work and life with him, so he listened very attentively.
As they were talking, Xia Zhiyi what Fu Yunyi had said earlier and asked Fu Chi, "Did you ask Fu Yunyi to ask me about my birthday?"
Fu Chi for a moment, then didn't hide anything. "Yes, I mentioned it casually before, and asked him to ask about your plans."
Xia Zhiyi found it strange. "Why didn't you just ask me about this before? Why did you need him to relay the message?"
Fu Chi's gaze towards him became somewhat helpless.
Why?
Why else could it be? It's because he wanted to prepare a surprise for Xia Zhiyi!
As it turns out, Fu Yunyi couldn't even handle such a small matter, and Xia Zhiyi, who is usually so clever, suddenly acted foolishly.
Fu Chi was silent for a moment, then noticed that Xia Zhiyi was still looking at him with a puzzled expression. He could only say, "I wanted to prepare a surprise for you, but I'm worried that you might not be able to come back."
When filming goes smoothly, nothing happens, but if things don't go well, it's normal to extend the filming time.
Xia Zhiyi "Ah!" and then belatedly realized, "Ah, I didn't think that much about it."
As they spent more time together, they became like an old married couple. Although they weren't married yet, Xia Zhiyi was indeed in a very relaxed state with Fu Chi, so relaxed that she was even too lazy to think.
So, Xia Zhiyi, who is usually quick to react to her surroundings, became unusually dazed after returning home.
"Then... I 'Xia Zhiyi joked with a smile.
Fu Chi gently took his earlobe into his mouth and bit it lightly.
"Hiss..." Xia Zhiyi tried to dodge, but the tip of her ear was gently bitten by the man's teeth. She couldn't escape, so she could only say, "Okay, I'll try to finish work by then, but personally, I'd like to come back and celebrate your birthday with you. However, the film crew isn't under my control alone."
Although Xia Zhiyi said that if all went well, he could come back to celebrate his birthday, this matter was truly beyond his personal control.
If something unexpected happens during filming, or if Director Min needs to change the plot and reshoot, there won't be enough time.
Because his birthday is indeed not far away now.
Fu Chi: "Yeah, it's okay. If you don't come back, I'll come find you."
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "Okay."
Xia Zhiyi stayed at home all day. During the day, Old Master Fu took his eldest grandson, Fu Yunyi, out to visit friends, while he spent the whole day at home with Fu Chi, who had specially made time for him.
When the old man came back in the evening, he whispered some gossip about his old friend's family to Xia Zhiyi, while Fu Yunyi looked exhausted, and no one knew what he had done during the day.
Afterwards, just as she had said, Xia Zhiyi got up early in the morning, kissed the man on the lips by the bedside, quickly tidied herself up, and went out to work.
No sooner had he left than Fu Chi opened his eyes, got out of bed, and stood by the window watching him get into the car and leave, even though it was still dark outside.
