Chapter 158 My Husband is Not a Good Person
Song Ni was still angry with Tan Zheng about the dressing room incident. She didn't understand why Tan Zheng had deliberately done it, but when Tan Zheng looked at her, she still moved a few steps away.
Su Jingxi: ... It's really not necessary.
Song Ni didn't know, but Su Jingxi was very clear. After all, he had also used his connections to suppress the photo of him and Song Ni. Now, seeing the reaction of Song Ni's man, he understood. It was probably because he had seen that photo and was jealous.
Thinking of this, Su Jingxi's eyes moved, and he felt a sense of male superiority and pride. Tsk, Lu Fang, Tan Zheng, both of them are jealous of him. How can he be so charming?
Thus, the renowned gentle and refined Su Jingxi no longer just listened to Director Jiang's arrangements, but moved closer to Song Ni to rehearse with her.
Song Ni: ... She suspected Su Jingxi was doing it on purpose.
Liang Qian was right beside them. As the male lead, why would he want to rehearse with the female lead? What was he looking for from her?
"What do you want to do?" Su Jingxi's eyes moved, pretending not to understand Song Ni's meaning.
"I'm still a bit unfamiliar with this scene, so I want to rehearse with you." As he said this, he moved a few steps closer to Song Ni.
Song Ni: ... She believed him for the sake of it. Everyone in the industry knew about the acting prowess of the "Emperor of Actors" Su. He had been on set for more than half a month, and Song Ni knew his abilities best. His fans weren't hyping him up for nothing.
Su Jingxi's unusual behavior made Song Ni more vigilant, especially since she was still enduring Tan Zheng's oppressive gaze. Suddenly, Song Ni's mind flashed back to Su Jingxi's actions the last time Lu Fang was on set. At that time, she was busy watching Lu Fang's scene and didn't pay attention to Su Jingxi's strangeness. Normally, they kept their distance during rehearsals and acted like strangers after filming, but that time, he had embraced Liang Qian while rehearsing.
Thinking of this, Song Ni narrowed her eyes and looked at Su Jingxi. She hadn't expected that the cool and gentle male god, praised by so many netizens, would actually enjoy making others jealous.
Song Ni curved her lips. Instead of retreating further, she suddenly leaned closer to Su Jingxi. The usually composed "Emperor of Actors" Su had a flicker of panic in his eyes, and he subtly straightened his body backward.
"Beautiful Su, my husband is not a good person. If he gets jealous, he can cause trouble for anyone who makes him jealous without distinguishing right from wrong."
Su Jingxi's eyes were bright, and he retorted, "Wouldn't you be the one suffering?"
Song Ni's eyes curved upwards, a wicked smile on her lips. She first glanced at Tan Zheng in the distance, then slowly explained to Su Jingxi, "No matter what, I'm his wife. Tell me, who do you think will suffer more?"
Su Jingxi: ...
"And your fans know about your... " Song Ni frowned, seemingly searching for the right words. "...annoying... habit?"
Su Jingxi: ...
"Tsk, why did you suddenly lose interest?" Song Ni just put on a fake smile. She snorted inwardly. What a joke. Tan Zheng's possessiveness was extremely strong. If she played along with Su Jingxi now, she would definitely have to suffer. However, it was too late. No matter what, Tan Zheng was already deeply jealous because of their matching outfits, a jealousy that had been brewing for thousands of years.
After kindly reminding Su Jingxi, Song Ni repeatedly stepped back, putting a distance of nearly two to three meters between them, as if she were carrying a contagious disease.
Su Jingxi no longer had the inclination to play. Tan Zheng, the sole heir of the Tan family and the head of the GN Group, was not someone to be trifled with, regardless of which identity. He still wanted to play in the entertainment industry for a few more years and didn't want to return to the Su family.
Director Jiang quickly finished his instructions and prepared to start filming. The protagonist of this scene was Song Ni. Her character had turned from innocent to sinister, opposing the orthodox sects. She was considered an evildoer by various factions. In this scene, she fought against ten opponents alone. In the end, she killed them all and confronted Su Jingxi and Liang Qian, the male and female leads. In the play, she was defeated by the combined efforts of the two and was severely injured, but was rescued by her adoptive brother.
This fight scene was very complicated. Before filming, Director Jiang specifically asked about Song Ni's condition. Perhaps many people had seen the hickeys on her body in the dressing room, and even though she knew Director Jiang didn't mean anything by it, Song Ni couldn't help but blush.
"Director Jiang, don't worry, I can do it." She wanted to speed things up and finish filming as soon as possible so she could spend more time with Tan Zheng before he flew back.
Since that was the case, Director Jiang just nodded but still reminded the action director. Song Ni always approached her work with a rigorous attitude. When the crew installed the wire harness equipment on her, even though it caused a dull ache in her waist, she didn't utter a sound. However, Tan Zheng, watching from the side, frowned incessantly. He had never seen Song Ni film before, so he didn't understand what wire harness was.
Chang Zi was very observant. Seeing that Tan Zheng didn't understand, she spoke up to explain. "Because of Ni Ni's role, more than half of her scenes require wire harness. Not only during filming, but before every filming, she needs to rehearse repeatedly with the action director and fight choreographer, as well as coordinate with other actors. Including the preparation time before filming, for the past month or so, Ni Ni has been practicing every day. She must have used who knows how many tubes of bruise cream. But she has never complained. Not only Director Jiang and the action director, but even the sparring partners, the fight choreographers, and the actors all praise Ni Ni."
Chang Zi spoke while observing Tan Zheng's expression. Seeing that the dissatisfaction on his face caused by jealousy had turned into concern, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief for Song Ni. A "sweet suffering" strategy was always very effective, especially for a beauty like Song Ni, and especially since Tan Zheng already doted on Song Ni so much.
After listening to this, Tan Zheng's mind conjured the image of him removing Song Ni's iris and kissing her back and waist, catching a faint scent of medicine. He was also to blame. At that time, he was blinded by lust and didn't notice the faint marks on her body. Later, he mistakenly thought that all the marks on her waist and body were his doing.
The man's expression turned cold, and even the wrinkles between his eyebrows carried a hint of ferocity. If he remembered correctly, when Song Ni first arrived to film, her waist had been injured because of the wire harness, and it was a mild sprain caused by a woman's mischief. So, for the past half month since joining the crew, she had been filming with the wire harness almost like this? Was this what Lu Fang called her coming to film for fun? This was clearly not fun; it was suffering.
Star City. Lu Fang, who had just returned to his office, sneezed unexpectedly. His assistant thoughtfully poured him a cup of hot water. "Mr. Lu, the weather is getting cold. Please take care of yourself."
Lu Fang rubbed his nose and pondered. "It's nothing. What did the Tan Corporation say about the new film base construction project in South City?"
"Someone from their end called just now. They said they'll discuss it with you after Young Master Tan returns." Young Master Tan was another name for Mr. Tan in the industry, as his father had not yet completely stepped down from the Tan Corporation. The assistant knew about the relationship between Lu Fang and Tan Zheng and added, "With Young Master Tan here, things should go much more smoothly."
This sentence alone cleared Lu Fang's mind. The GN Group was extremely busy, and for such a project, Tan Zheng would definitely not pay much attention. Thinking of this, Lu Fang sneezed again. He felt a sense of unease. Why did he feel that this project would be a huge loss for Tan Zheng?
