Chapter 51
Her beauty really mesmerized him.
After a month of continuous filming, the crew ofThe Performerfinally had their first vacation.
Their location shoot finished smoothly, and with a wave of his long arm, Director Zhao sent everyone off on a three day vacation.
The entire crew was elated, like a storm had finally come after a long drought. Song Nanchuan, on the other hand, immediately frowned upon hearing this news. He personally gave Director Zhao a call, to have a heart to heart talk, to convince him that three days wouldnt be sufficient to resolve his troubles with his wife.
The result of his probing was that the crews three day vacation became a five day vacation.
Although it wasnt entirely to his expectations, Song Nanchuan knew to quit while he was ahead. To welcome Pei Ying, hed made a special order to have the restaurant send over a big meal.
His timing was spot on too. Just after the delivery person left, Pei Yings van stopped in front of the villa.
Song Nanchuan walked out to greet her, and all the cats were also battling to be the first to reach her.
Meow~
As before, the cats circled around Pei Yings legs. Pei Ying put down her luggage and bent down to pet the black cat. Blackie, you seem to have gotten fatter.
Song Nanchuan helped her take in her luggage, and he said evenly, If your shoot lasted a few days longer this time, Blackie wouldve had to give its name to you.
Pei Ying, .
Was he picking on her for getting tanned? No manners!
Pei Ying pursed her lips and said, I put on three layers of sunblock every day, but it didnt help. The sun was just too strong.
Song Nanchuan chuckled. He grabbedher luggage with one hand and Pei Yings hand with the other. Blackie and Flower followed them inside. Pei Ying lifted her hand up to see and uneasily asked, Did I really get too dark?
She thought it was okay. Though shed gotten a bit darker, her skin was still a light skin-tone. She was still paler than a lot of people.
Song Nanchuan turned his head to her. Its fine. But when we get back from the sea, youll definitely be even darker.
Pei Ying was startled. Were going to the sea? I thought we were going to visit your parents in C City?
Mmh. After that, were going to the seaside. The tickets are already reserved. Their plans were ruined previously by Pei Xiujuan, and while this vacation wouldnt be as long, it would still be happening. Later on, when they went on their honeymoon, theyd have more fun.
Pei Ying wasnt surewhat Song Nanchuans plans were. She frowned, thinking that there wouldnt be enough time. We only get five days off. I want to have a good rest too.
You can rest by the sea. Were only going to one place. Youll be able to rest.
Oh, okay then. At least the seaside sounded refreshing and cool.
Pei Ying was too lazy to unpack her things, so she went to shower first. Then they had dinner. Song Nanchuan had ordered all the things she liked eating. Pei Ying looked around at the table, not sure where to start.
Song Nanchuan peeled a shrimp and put it in front of Pei Ying. Then he wiped his hands. Well see my parents tomorrow. Well have to make sure you look nice. I already prepared your clothes, so you can try them on later.
Oh, okay. Pei Ying nodded. She asked him, What do you parents like? I cant go there empty-handed after all.
Song Nanchuan responded, Ive already bought the gift. Dont worry. He paused here. Then he looked at Pei Ying and said, But my parents rather prefer well-bred young ladies. So, tomorrow, try to act a bit more well-bred.
Pei Ying frowned. Well-bred? Whatsthat mean?
Like the daughters of aristocratic families that you see on TV. Refined, graceful. He looked over at her dirty hands from peeling shrimp. The way youre eating right now definitely wont do.
Pei Ying, .
She put down her chopsticks and wiped her hands. From the sound of it, youre looking down on me. You should just go find a rich girl to go meet them with you.
Song Nanchuan helplessly sighed. You still dont know that my hearts already withyou? If I look down on someone, it definitely wont be you. I just dont want any issuescoming up with my parents.
Oh, so youre telling me to pretend to be one of those rich girls?
Mmh Just pretend its practice for your acting. Youre acting inThe Performerright now, arent you? Tomorrow, your task is to act like a girl from a rich family.
Pei Ying was quiet for awhile. Then she looked at him with some admiration, Your reasonings not bad. But what happens after tomorrow?
Well talk about that later. Song Nanchuans brows raised. In any case, you wont be spending much time with them. Youll be spending the rest of your life with me.
What a nice picture youve thought up, Pei Ying said disdainfully. Her face quietly flushed. But even if I can act like a well-bred young lady, that doesnt mean your parents will like me.
Her family and Song Nanchuans family were just too different. Song Nanchuans parents would definitely do a full background check on her. If thats the case, no matter how good her performance was, what was the point?
Song Nanchuan grabbed her handon the table and held it in his own. Even if they dont like you, Ill still like you. No, Ill like you even more than before, to make up for them.
He really had a way with words. Pei Yings face went red.
Dont worry. My mom isnt the kind of person who cares that much about family status. As long as you leave a good first impression, it will be easy to bring them onto your side.
Mmh, okay Making the parents of your partner like you was really a special skill.
Then, hurry and finish eating. Ill give you some special training.
Pei Ying, .

And like he said, Song Nanchuan really had a crash courseplanned out. The first part was about the posture that a rich girl walked with.
That wasnt difficult for Pei Ying. She was an actress after all. After several form classes, she didnt have a problem with walking postures.
After Song Nanchuan gave her 101 points for posture, they started practicing dialogues.
When youre speaking to someone, you always have to maintain a smile on your face. My mother likes girls who smile.
Oh Pei Ying smiled at him. Teacher Song, hello.
If you smile like that, Im going to have to kiss you.
After saying that, Song Nanchuan made a move to kiss her, but Pei Ying dodged his attack. With a smile still on her face, she looked at him and said, Mr Song, youre a well-bred gentleman. Isnt it too shameless of you to take kisses like that?
Song Nanchuan wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms. I think your performance is good enough. We dont need to practice anymore. Todays class will now conclude.
As he spoke, he lowered his head to kiss her lips.
The so-called minor incidents that start a war always stem from a kiss. After they started kissing, they might as well continue. Song Nanchuan wished to continue, but Pei Ying pushed him away. With a frown, she said, No. Im meeting your parents tomorrow. I have to preserve my spirit tonight.
We havent seen each other in five days
No. Theres a tough battle for me tomorrow. No matter how pained and pitiful Song Nanchuan looked, Pei Ying remained resolute.
Song Nanchuan, .
Fine, Ill just note down this debt for now. After we meet my parents, Ill get it repaid.
Ying Ying
I already said no!
I was just saying, you havent tried on the dresses I prepared for you yet.
Pei Ying, .
Its all your fault! She glared at him. Ill try them on in the morning.
Okay. I might not have been able to stop myself from taking them off anyway.
Pei Ying, .
She really wanted to give him a good kick off the bed.
Song Nanchuan had a very pleasant sleep that night. Pei Yingshead was full of thoughts about meeting his parents, so her sleep wasnt all that great. The next day, she woke up before the sky lit up, and she didnt feel the desire to sleep at all. She got up and went to find the dresses that Song Nanchuan prepared, to try them on.
The milky-white dress looked ethereal. Not only did the skirt have three layers, the top was also embellished with exquisite lace and pearls.
The skirt was about 10cm above her knees, revealing Pei Yings long, elegant legs. There was also a pair of white heels, which Song Nanchuan must have bought to go with the dress.
Pei Ying usually wore red, and this was the first time that shed be wearing a set of white clothes like this. She looked at herself in the mirror. Black and white really was such a classic combination.
Because Song Nanchuan was still asleep, she didnt turn on the lights, just borrowing the light that passed through the windows. The sun was just rising, and as the rays of light hit her body, the silver threads shined like diamonds.
And this was the first image that Song Nanchuan saw upon opening his eyes. It was at this moment that Song Nanchuan truly believed in Cupids existence, because he genuinely felt like a love god had shot an arrow into his heart.

He got up and wrapped his arms around Pei Ying from behind, pulling him into her. Baby, you really look like an angel.
Her beauty really mesmerized him. His desire for her was so great that he couldnt be away from her for even a second. He started to question whether hed truly been living before he met her.
Pei Ying was taken aback at suddenly being embraced. She turned to see his head resting on her shoulder. If youre up, go get ready. We have to leave soon.
Theres no rush Song Nanchuans right hand slipped under her skirt as he started kissing her neck. Pei Ying moved her head, and anxiously told him, Stop messing around. If were late, Ill leave a bad impression.
But I cant stop myself right now Song Nanchuan stifled, his breathing becoming coarse. Just once. Its still early. We wont be late.
He was in a hurry as he pulled Pei Ying over to the bed. After some tossing and turning, Song Nanchuan was finally able to appease his restlessness.
After Song Nanchuan was done, the sky hadalready lit up. Pei Ying changed back into her clothes and redid her makeup. She huffed to him, Song Nanchuan, look at the time! What are you going to do if were late?!
Song Nanchuan smiled at her. Its okay. Ill say that you woke up late because of me.
Pei Ying, .
Get out! She was obviously awake even before the sun rose!
