The next day, An Youqing, who had already gotten rid of all the burden that she had been carrying on her shoulder, finally found the right emotions to face Jiang Yuning when filming the scene. On the other hand, Jiang Yuning also guided An Youqing throughout the entire filming process.
This time, An Youqing stayed calm as she endured Jiang Yuning’s slaps and they somehow managed to get through with filming the entire scene without calling for any NGs at all. The whole filming process was unexpectedly smooth and this really surprised the director and the entire production crew.
“It seems as though the partnership and chemistry between Jiang Yuning and An Youqing is not that bad after all.”
The director was very happy with the filming progress today and as soon as they were done with the scene, he stood up before giving both of them a huge round of applause. Hou Da, who was standing next to the director, was also very pleased at this time.
“With this kind of acting, I think we will be able to finish filming the drama in accordance to the schedule now.”
An Youqing’s assistant was also very happy at this time. As soon as they were both done filming their scenes, she quickly handed a glass of water to An Youqing before she poured another glass of water for Jiang Yuning. “Sister Yuning, thank you for your hard work.”
An Youqing felt a little uneasy at this time but after thinking about it, she calmed down a little. She shouldn’t mind it so much even if her assistant offered some water to Jiang Yuning.
“Let’s go and rest now while we wait for the next scene.”
Since both Jiang Yuning and Su Jinhang would have to leave the set and return to Luo City to film the next episode of Secret of the Nation, then they also had to accelerate the filming of their scenes. This was because even if they did not film their scenes now, they would still have to make up for it later.
With An Youqing’s cooperation, the filming continued progressing smoothly.
The few young actors and actresses who originally though that Jiang Yuning would definitely mistreat them were all surprised after acting with Jiang Yuning. This was because they realized that Jiang Yuning was very magnanimous and she was also more than willing to guide them throughout their entire scene.
Of course, she also voiced out her opinions without holding back at all, but what was most important was the fact that Jiang Yuning did not hold onto any grudges at all.
Jiang Yuning continued guiding each of them and she also took everyone’s feelings into consideration even though she was a senior.
Now, it seemed as though those young actors and actresses had also completely changed their opinion of Jiang Yuning.
In such a short time!
…
Another day flew by and it was already time for Jiang Yuning and Su Jinhang to return to Luo City immediately after filming the morning scene. This was because they would have to participate in the filming of the next episode of Secret of the Nation later that night.
Su Jinhang had initially refused to take the same flight as Jiang Yuning because he did not want to cause any gossip or scandal. However, Jiang Yuning did not care about that at all. “We are filming a drama together and we are in the same cast now. Wouldn’t it be more suspicious if both of us take a different flight?”
After thinking about what Jiang Yuning said, Su Jinhang kept quiet and no longer showed any resistance.
Both of them quickly entered the dressing room as soon as they arrived at the television station so that they could get ready to start filming for the program. After they were done recording the next episode of Secret of the Nation, it was already close to midnight.
“Teacher Jiang, thank you for your hard work,” one of the production staff members said as she greeted Jiang Yuning.
After removing her makeup, Jiang Yuning wore a cap as she stepped out of the television station. At this time, there were still some Ginger Candies who were waiting outside the television station for Jiang Yuning to get off work.
“Ahh! Empress Jiang!”
“Empress Jiang! Please post a picture of yourself online. We have not seen you in such a long time…”
“Empress Jiang…”
Jiang Yuning made an okay gesture at the Ginger Candies before she got into her car. As soon as she got into the car, Vera quickly closed the door behind her before she said, “Yuning, Second Young Master Lu is also here but I don’t think that it would be convenient for both of you to meet up now since there are still so many fans waiting outside the television station. I already asked Secretary Ho to bring Second Young Master Lu back to Royal Dragon Villa. I guess both of you can only meet up once you are home.”
“Alright then, hurry up and let’s go already,” Jiang Yunng replied as she yawned. She felt as though she could not keep her eyes open anymore. “I am really very tired. Let me sleep for a short while.”
“This…” Vera handed a thermal flask filled with soup over to Jiang Yuning. “Sister Liang made this soup for you today and Second Young Master Lu gave this to me earlier. Drink some of it now.”
Jiang Yuning took the flask in her hand and her eyes were a little teary at this time. “Wow. I feel so loved. I guess all my hard work is really worth it.”
This was because Jiang Yuning knew that no matter where she was and no matter what she was doing, there would always be a person at home who loved her and would always be waiting for her.
Vera also felt a little distressed when she saw Jiang Yuning’s swollen eyes. In fact, Jiang Yuning’s itinerary was really very packed this year compared to her schedule last year. Even though Jiang Yuning was going back to Royal Dragon Villa tonight, she would have to get up at five o’clock in the morning to return to the crew to continue filming the drama.
This was the price that she had to pay for her popularity.
Moreover, this was the price that Jiang Yuning had to pay in order to build up her name and reputation in the entertainment industry. Therefore, Jiang Yuning had no choice but to suffer like this for the time being.
Jiang Yuning finally arrived at the Royal Dragon Villa at around twelve forty that night. Vera left the villa as soon as she sent Jiang Yuning into the villa.
At this time, Jiang Yuning carried her luggage in her hand as she jumped into Lu Jingzhi’s arms immediately.
Jiang Yuning did not let go of Lu Jingzhi after hugging him because she felt as though one hug would never be enough.
As Lu Jingzhi placed his arms around her waist, he felt as though the little descendant had lost a lot of weight. It looked like her chin was getting sharper and sharper.
“Didn’t you eat well while filming?”
“Sob. Sob. I eat a lot every day,” Jiang Yuning replied as she continued hanging onto Lu Jingzhi’s body. “I must just have exerted myself a little because I have been filming a lot lately.”
“Do you want me to arrange for Sister Liang to join you at the filming location?”
Jiang Yuning was startled at this time. “No, no. Sister Liang has to stay here to cook for you. You are such a picky eater. Are you going to cook for yourself if Sister Liang is not here with you?”
“Well, I can always go back to the Lu family mansion.”
“Anyway, I don’t want Sister Liang to come with me,” Jiang Yuning replied as she shook her head. “Oh, Second Young Master Lu. Principal Lu, we haven’t seen each other in such a long time and it’s already so late at night. Can’t we just go to bed and rest already?”
Lu Jingzhi chuckled before he kissed the little descendant on the forehead.
The little descendant would always be the little descendant. She would never allowed herself to be overly pampered.
Jiang Yuning really missed his abdominal muscles and hugs. Therefore, she had to take advantage of the time that she had to experience it. However, since Lu Jingzhi knew that she was already exhausted, he hugged her tightly in his arm before he carried her into the bathroom to wash up.
Jiang Yuning was already dozing off at this time but she still said, “Second Brother, wait for next year. I will definitely have more time to spend with you next year.”
“I got it, superstar,” Lu Jingzhi replied helplessly as he hugged her to sleep.
Perhaps it was because she managed to recharge in the comforts of her own home, Jiang Yuning was full of energy when she returned to the crew the next day.
Vera subsequently arranged for the media to go to the filming location to interview both Jiang Yuning and Su Jinhang because they were the main cast members of the drama.
Everything went well initially but Jiang Yuning realized that in recent days, it seemed as though An Youqing had already returned to her previous state. She would not be concentrating as they filmed and it seemed as though she was very easily distracted.
As she was getting ready for her scene, Jiang Yuning took the opportunity to ask An Youqing’s assistant: “What happened to her?”
“Sister Yuning, you might not know this but the man that is backing Youqing up will be coming to visit her tomorrow. Youqing is afraid that she will offend the other party, so…” the assistant explained the situation to Jiang Yuning in a very tactful manner. However, Jiang Yuning could already guess everything.
An Youqing had already decided to focus on filming her drama and she probably wanted to call it quits with the other party. However, she could not do so because the other party must be a very powerful man with a strong background.
Therefore, Jiang Yuning suspect that the other party had no idea that An Youqing had already reconciled with Jiang Yuning.
However, if he really came to the filming location, then Jiang Yuning would not need to waste any more time to investigate and find out the identity of the other party anymore.
“Where will they be meeting up? Do you have any plans for your artiste at all?”
“Well, I am asking Youqing to just play along with him because the young master has so many other girlfriends anyway. We can only hope that he will get bored of Youqing and forget her as soon as possible.”
Jiang Yuning shook her head as soon as she heard the assistant’s words. “You are too naïve. The only reason why this man looked for An Youqing in the first place is because he wanted to use her to get to me. With this level of interest, do you really think that he would give up on An Youqing so easily? Tell me where they intend to meet up tomorrow. I will speak to him directly.”
“Sister Yuning, is that…really a good idea?”
“Do you have a better plan?” Jiang Yuning asked as she looked at An Youqing’s assistant.
The assistant shook her head because she knew that she would not be able to do anything because of her own status.
