Chapter 160: Goodnight, Little Princess
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xian Yu’s heart was itching as he read. He had called his Little Sister to resolve his doubts, but when he heard Murong Qiao’s sleepy voice, he realized that the time he called was not right.
“What are you doing now?” he asked quickly, guiltily, pushing the questions aside in his mind.
“I just finished writing my drafts,” Murong Qiao said honestly.
Xian Yu looked at the time. It was already 11 p.m.
At home, Murong Qiao usually fell asleep at ten. Xian Yu was a little annoyed at himself for calling at this time, but he didn’t forget to urge Murong Qiao to sleep.
“Then quickly go to sleep.” Xian Yu didn’t mention the novel again.
He decided to put those questions aside as his Little Sister’s sleep was more important. At the thought that she wouldn’t be able to sleep well because of him, Xian Yu instantly felt guilty.
“I want to sleep. The male lead…” Murong Qiao said in a daze. She was so sleepy that she couldn’t speak a complete sentence.
She only felt her eyelids become heavy, and only a little of her remaining consciousness was still trying to respond to Xian Yu’s question. However, her mouth and mind were completely different, and words that she couldn’t even understand jumped out of her mouth in bits and pieces.
After a while, Xian Yu heard steady breathing coming from the other end of the cell phone.
Xian Yu carefully muted his speaker so as not to wake her up and whispered.
“Good night, little princess.” His voice couldn’t have been softer.
He only listened to his Little Sister’s breathing quietly and felt especially at ease. He even fell asleep.
The phone screen lit up for the entire night until it ran out of battery.
When she woke up, it was morning. Seeing that there was no class today, Murong Qiao remembered her Fifth Brother’s call last night and decided to visit him.
The filming location was still the same, but the female lead had changed.
“You took the time to visit your brother?” When the guard saw that it was Murong Qiao, he opened the door and let her in. “Xian Yu should be filming now.”
Ever since the incident between Murong Qiao and Qu Pingwan last time, everyone in the production team remembered Murong Qiao’s face, so when they saw her coming, they let her in.
“Thank you.” When Murong Qiao came, she heard that the production team had strictly prohibited outsiders from entering. So when she saw how the guard let her in directly, she smiled and thanked him before walking in.
The guard who opened the door was stunned for a moment before he quickly waved his hand in embarrassment and said that it was nothing.
When Murong Qiao walked in, Xian Yu was filming.
He and the female lead were lying on the ground with damaged makeup and saying sad lines. Murong Qiao stood in the crowd and watched his Big Brother’s acting skills. It only took one shot to conclude the scene.
“Why are you here?” Xian Yu’s eyes lit up when he saw Murong Qiao, making Murong Qiao feel like a big dog was wagging its tail before her.
Murong Qiao glanced at the set. The girl who was playing the female lead was still standing there and communicating with the staff.
“I’m here to see how you’re doing.” Her gaze landed on the girl with some interest.
Xian Yu followed his Little Sister’s gaze and noticed that Murong Qiao was looking at the female lead. When he looked over, he met the girl’s gaze.
He didn’t think much of it. He just thought that she was curious about Murong Qiao.
“The new girl’s name is Tong Ning. She’s a little young, but her acting skills are not bad.” It wasn’t hard to tell that Xian Yu still liked this new partner.
At least, she was better than the previous actress.
Murong Qiao nodded in agreement. Her focus was different from Xian Yu’s. When they were acting just now, Murong Qiao felt that this girl had acted out the female lead’s emotions very well. But now that it was over, Murong Qiao noticed that when she talked to others, she would look at her Fifth Brother a few times.
“She looks quite obedient,” Murong Qiao commented. However, Tong King’s gaze attracted her attention from time to time.
At the very least, Murong Qiao noticed that Tong Ning had looked at Xian Yu several times during this short while.
The two of them stood there and chatted for a while. Director Liu Cheng, who was beside them, also noticed Murong Qiao’s arrival and hurriedly walked over to greet her.
“You had time to come and take a look?” Liu Cheng waved his hand in a friendly manner.
As soon as he walked over, his gaze subconsciously landed on Murong Qiao’s face, which was rare even in the entertainment industry. He deeply felt that if Murong Qiao entered the entertainment industry, even the heavens would be jealous.
“I’m just here to visit.” Murong Qiao nodded.
Seeing Liu Cheng so happy, there should be no problem with the production team.
They were all acquaintances, and Murong Qiao was the author of Fearless. After Liu Cheng chatted about the plot and characters, his thoughts were attracted by the other party’s face.
“With such good foundations, do you want to try acting?” As he thought about it, Liu Cheng couldn’t hold back his thoughts. “I’ll let you be the female lead.”
His joking words were mixed with seriousness. It was obvious that he really liked Murong Qiao.
These words fell into Tong King’s ears. She looked at Murong Qiao in surprise.
Not many people could get Director Liu Cheng’s recognition. Even she had only managed to join the production team by chance. So after hearing what Liu Cheng said, Tong Ning couldn’t help but be curious about Murong Qiao.
“No, I don’t plan to enter the entertainment industry.” Murong Qiao shook her head.
Unfortunately, Murong Qiao didn’t have the intention to join this industry. She still politely rejected Liu Cheng’s invitation.
She just wanted to visit the set and did not intend to find a role for herself.
Murong Qiao stayed with the production team and chatted with others. Little did she know that photos of her entering Fearless’ production team had already appeared on the Internet.
Fearless was already popular enough, not to mention that Xian Yu was the male lead, so there had always been many paparazzi waiting outside the production team to take photos and camp for some hot topics.
Usually, for the sake of work, the production team strictly prohibited visitors to prevent any accidents from happening. Therefore, the paparazzi couldn’t sneak in and could only wait patiently outside.
In the end, they happened to see Murong Qiao visiting.
This made the paparazzi, who had been waiting for many days, smell a hint of some interesting topic. They took photos and made up an article on the spot to post this matter.
Seeing Murong Qiao walk past the guard at the door openly and swagger in, the Internet exploded.
[Why can she enter? Didn’t they say that the production team is very strict?]
Because she’s Xian Yu’s sister. Who would dare to stop the sister of a superstar?
The celebrity friend of the second male lead had also been here before, but he was not allowed to enter. In the end, the second male lead had to come out to meet him.
The picture that rode on Xian Yu’s popularity quickly attracted people’s attention. Many of them were Xian Yu’s fans. When they clicked on it, they felt that it was unfair.
Almost all the comments were talking about Xian Yu. From the visit to Xian Yu, the spearhead was obvious.
Soon, more people came to join in the fun and helped to push this matter up.
At this moment, Murong Qiao was in the dormitory, reading the information that Jiang Chi had just sent her.
“These are the selected seedlings. There’s no problem with their backgrounds.” Jiang Chi had specially marked the key points on a few of them. It was obvious that he thought highly of this group of people.
The information was about a group of artistes that Jiang Chi had screened. Murong Qiao was engrossed in it.
She clicked on everyone’s details and secretly evaluated which one was suitable to sign with the company to develop. She didn’t notice Yang Xin rushing in.
“Something big has happened!” She shouted so loudly that Murong Qiao came back to her senses..
