Chapter 157 Song Ni: Have Some Shame!

Chapter 157 Song Ni: Have Some Shame! Song Ni's face instantly turned redder than the makeup artist's. She had wondered why Tan Zheng found such trivial makeup matters so engaging. So this was what he was waiting for. How could she have forgotten that the previous night had been wild, with Tan Zheng leaving marks all over her like a ravenous wolf? Her skin was so tender that ordinary hickeys took one or two days to fade. The night before, Tan Zheng had been rough, and these marks would likely take three to four days to disappear. When she visited the villa, she had worn a turtleneck sweater precisely to cover the marks on her neck, but one couldn't wear a sweater to sleep. She had been carried here by Tan Zheng before she was even fully awake, naturally leaving her no time to change. Comfortable pajamas, a neck completely exposed. Song Ni desperately wanted to curse him out at this moment. But under Tan Zheng's smiling gaze, she could only pretend to be calm and converse with the makeup artist. "Teacher, please help me cover this up." The makeup artist was also a young woman. Seeing this scene, her heart skipped a beat, and her mind conjured up all sorts of indescribable scenarios. Her neck was covered in hickeys, some light, some heavy. The battle must have been intense. With that thought, the makeup artist quickly glanced at Tan Zheng, then meticulously examined Song Ni. She suddenly felt a pang of doubt. Song Ni looked so slender and delicate; could she withstand her husband's onslaught? After all, with Tan Zheng's physique, he must be quite potent in the bedroom. Seeing the makeup artist's eyes darting around, her face flushed, and even her earlobes turned red, Song Ni knew that everyone else in the makeup room must have conjured up all sorts of fantasies about her and Tan Zheng. Song Ni was a woman too, and she knew that women's imaginations, especially when it came to gossip, could be more powerful than any screenwriter. So, Song Ni shot Tan Zheng another fierce glare, mentally cursing this scoundrel countless times. Fortunately, the costume in the play only required her neck and collarbone to be visible, making the concealing work relatively simple. However, after Song Ni changed into her outfit, the makeup artist's expression became somewhat stiff. There were marks on her arm too? "Ahem, Sister Ni, let me fix that for you." Song Ni's scenes today were mostly action sequences. Even with a close-fitting undergarment, it was wise to be prepared. As the makeup artist stepped forward and lifted Song Ni's sleeve, she saw even more clearly, her earlobes turning crimson. Hickeys were one thing, but what about bite marks? Were they playing that rough now? Song Ni herself couldn't bear to look, feeling uncharacteristically embarrassed. When everyone else had left, and only the two of them remained, Song Ni rushed to Tan Zheng and kicked him. Tan Zheng didn't dodge, taking the full force of her kick. However, Song Ni hadn't fully recovered and lacked her usual strength, so the kick didn't amount to much for Tan Zheng. But... the man raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "Feeling better?" Seeing his expression, Song Ni's suspicions grew. "You did it on purpose?" Tan Zheng's eyelids drooped slightly, his eyes twinkling with amusement. Song Ni kicked him again. This time, she kicked him at the bone, resulting in mutual pain. Tan Zheng's brow twitched. Seeing Song Ni wince in pain, he chuckled, both amused and exasperated, and wrapped his arms around her waist. "You're taking your anger out on me and hurting yourself. Song Ni, can't you learn your lesson?" Hearing this, Song Ni stood on tiptoe and bit his chin. "Women love gossip. Believe it or not, half the crew probably knows by now." Tan Zheng smiled, touching the spot where Song Ni had bitten him, raised an eyebrow indifferently, and said slowly, "So what if they know?" He paused, then gently tapped Song Ni's forehead. "You're married, this is normal." Song Ni: ...... Normal? But no matter what, it shouldn't be so obvious to everyone. Not only her neck but also her arms were covered. Now everyone knew how passionate her nights were. "Don't be so flippant. How is this normal? If you're so capable, go to the company with a neck full of hickeys." Hearing this, Tan Zheng pondered for a moment. "It's not impossible." With that, the man chuckled, bent down, and offered his neck to Song Ni. Song Ni: ...... "Have some shame!" Who knew that the day after turning twenty-four, she would be almost half-killed by her own husband? Song Ni no longer wanted to talk to Tan Zheng. She gave him a fierce glare and left the makeup room. Tan Zheng watched the figure of the young woman in a dark red dress, a faint smile playing on his lips. Once he had smiled enough, he followed her out. As he stepped out, he bumped into Su Jingxi, who was emerging from another makeup room. The smile on Tan Zheng's lips vanished, his eyes narrowing slightly, filled with an unexplainable emotion as he scrutinized Su Jingxi from head to toe. Oh, so this was the male actor who had been joking with Song Ni. Tsk, he wasn't much to look at. What was Song Ni thinking? Could she possibly fancy a man like this? Su Jingxi stopped in his tracks, bewildered by the hostility in Song Ni's man's gaze. Unable to figure it out, he gave a slight nod and quickly walked away. Coincidentally, today was the day for Song Ni and Su Jingxi's scenes together. Although Liang Qian would also be present, their interaction would be significant. Song Ni listened to Director Jiang's instructions outside and her face stiffened slightly when she saw Su Jingxi's costume. Although it was black, the gilded accents and patterns were the same style as hers. Disaster. Knowing Tan Zheng's possessiveness, he would surely be jealous again. As expected, when Tan Zheng followed her out and saw Song Ni standing next to Su Jingxi, the curve of his lips faded, and his gaze turned sharp. He looked at Chang Zi, who trembled under his gaze. Chang Zi stepped forward, her mind racing, and finally followed Zhou Jin's lead, calling out, "Mr. Tan." "She has romantic scenes?" Chang Zi understood immediately. There were many married actors in the industry, but most of them had their spouses either visiting the set frequently or not at all. Those who visited were to keep an eye on their partners, preventing them from developing genuine feelings during scenes with other actors. Those who didn't visit simply couldn't tolerate their spouses being intimate with other members of the opposite sex. Based on her superficial understanding of Tan Zheng, he belonged to the latter category, but not entirely. She suspected that if Tan Zheng had known earlier about Song Ni's romantic scenes, he would have involved Mr. Lu, either to have her quit the role or to change the script. But unfortunately, Song Ni was halfway through filming this drama. If Tan Zheng intervened now, Song Ni would surely be angry. From her observation, given how doting Tan Zheng was towards Song Ni, even this seemingly formidable Mr. Tan would likely have to swallow his jealousy and stew in it. "Yes, but the romantic scenes with Actor Su are not extensive." The man let out a cold snort. Chang Zi stood aside, not daring to say anything more. If she wasn't mistaken, there must have been a minor spat between the couple in the dressing room just now. She watched the two standing in the courtyard. Because their costumes were similar, they looked quite like a couple standing together. She could see it, and Tan Zheng certainly could too. Sensing the increasingly chilling aura from the man beside her, Chang Zi silently prayed for Song Ni in her heart: good luck. (End of this chapter)
