My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me

Chapter 635: Chapter 637: Arrival (6)

To be honest, he joined this cast, not for the money, but with the goal of winning an award. With a reliable director, a reliable screenwriter, and the rest of the ensemble cast being seasoned actors or very experienced powerhouses, he believed that the production should be pretty good.

Then Xiang Yirou rocked up. Although her acting skills weren’t great, they weren’t terrible either. But when the person originally cast as the second female lead arrived, he felt a chill. Sure, she had a following, but as for acting talent, that seemed to depend on luck. Then, she injured her leg not even two days into joining the crew, and they had to urgently bring in another one, who seemed even less reliable than the last.

Huang Mi felt his prospects cooling considerably. It seemed he might have to limit his aspirations to domestic awards; going international suddenly seemed a much more distant prospect.

However, when he saw Xue Feifei dance, he finally understood why the director had previously been so high on her.

She truly suited this character, almost as if she was born for it. She was beautiful, mesmerizing, like a sprite, but with pervasive, decadent vibes. Especially her sweaty appearance, that was spot-on. It was exactly what someone who had been dancing all night should look like. Otherwise, looking perfectly put together, well-groomed, and orderly, no one would believe you’d been dancing the whole night through.

But really, she was beautiful.

A woman didn’t need flirtatious postures or feigned airs. Just dancing till she was drenched in sweat, that was sexy, that was beauty.

He was starting to look forward to working with her.

“Thank you, Mr. Huang.” Xue Feifei wiped her hands clean and shook his hand.

Seeing Huang Mi had come up to greet her, Xiang Yirou, sitting off to the side watching the play, felt obligated to introduce herself as well: “Hello, I am Xiang Yirou.”

“Hello.” Xue Feifei greeted Xiang Yirou briefly. In fact, Xue Feifei preferred to avoid her altogether. She knew that a major reason behind the marital troubles of Lu Weixi and Qin Zhiyou was the emergence of this woman.

Of course, the Xiang Yirou of the present was no longer favored by Qin Zhiyou and had lost her popularity. Without her, perhaps someone else would have come along. She seemed a bit smarter than Liu Yiyi though, knowing when to quit. But that still couldn’t alleviate her disdain.

Nevertheless, they were currently working together on the job. Despite any personal grievances, she would deal with them privately. For now, she considered finishing the movie cooperatively to be the priority.

Xiang Yirou seemed to sense something off with Xue Feifei. Though not entirely sure about Xue Feifei’s status yet, the slight unease necessitated a response, so she quickly made her exit after the greeting.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Who does she think she is, daring to give her attitude before even having achieved anything? Wishful thinking!

Xiang Yirou wouldn’t get her own hands dirty, but she had her methods.

Just a word to her assistant and the other actors, an “inadvertent” leak of this matter, and they’d know what to do.

So the next day, despite Xue Feifei being the earliest to arrive, the makeup artist hadn’t arrived yet, nor had the costume designer gotten in place. When they finally did arrive, the makeup and costume designers prioritized others before her.

Xue Feifei could immediately tell she was being ostracized. If she directly confronted them, rumors would spread of her throwing her weight around. If she held her tongue and waited until everyone else was ready before her turn, there certainly wouldn’t be sufficient time for filming.

Though she had a fiery and straightforward temperament, Xue Feifei was no fool. She definitely saw through this clear-cut scheme.
