Chapter 2013: My Wife Keeps Throwing Herself Into My Arms Every Day 03

~7 min read 1,350 words

Cloud Joy Group Chief Executive Officer's office.

"Yo, Yu Daqingsheng, how do you have time to call me?"

Lu Ziyan saw the incoming call information, and without hesitation he mocked, afraid the other side wouldn't detect the sarcasm in his words.

"Lu, you idiot." Hearing his cousin's familiar voice again, Qiao Yu actually felt a bit like crying.

In his previous life, Lu Ziyan had advised him for so long, yet upon hearing the news of his death he still recklessly sought Tan Du for revenge, but ultimately he couldn't overcome the protagonist's halo and ended up with a miserable ending.

Lu Ziyan's impatient expression stalled, he frowned and asked: "What weird tone, are you crying?"

"No."

Qiao Yu hurriedly denied, not wanting to be dragged back, he declared aggressively: "I want to change the script."

Lu Ziyan: "..."

A few seconds later, Lu Ziyan's gritted-teeth voice came through: "If you still dare to give Tan Du extra scenes, I'll freeze three of your cards!"

That's quite a serious threat!

Qiao Yu huddled in the corner shaking his head, looking utterly ashen, remembering that Lu Ziyan couldn't see, he hurriedly said: "It's not about giving him extra scenes; Tan Du and I broke up, I want to change our opposing scene..."

After hearing Qiao Yu's endless chatter, Lu Ziyan glanced at the sun outside the floor-to-ceiling window, confirmed it wasn't rising from the west, and his tone actually became a bit cautious.

"Are you sure... you broke up?"

"Yes, Tan Du hid that he was sleeping with men from me, so I don't want a dirty cucumber!"

Qiao Yu took a slight breath, finishing his unfinished words.

Stay away from the protagonist's love interests, build a happy life as the villain.

Lu Ziyan was obviously very pleased: "Add, you wait, even if I change Jin Chen into the male lead, I'll add him too!"

Lu Ziyan, dazed by the news, boastfully promised; after hanging up and calming down a few minutes later, he suddenly hissed.

Who was I supposed to change the script for again?

Jin Chen!

Thinking of the power behind him, Lu Ziyan, CEO of the entertainment industry's leading group, fell silent.

The domineering CEO cousin's guarantee was wavering.

Don't panic.

Lu Ziyan turned and called the director of this drama.

"What what what?"

After hanging up, Zhou Weihong was still in a daze, finally realizing the background of Qiao Yu as the hidden capitalist behind Cloud Joy Group.

However, such matters obviously cannot be spoken of to outsiders.

After thinking it over, Zhou Weihong summoned Qiao Yu again to discuss; his tone was much better than before, and Qiao Yu no longer needed to hide his surname for Tan Du, nor did he find Zhou Weihong's attitude strange.

After weighing it all, they ultimately decided to first ask Jin Chen's opinion.

Coincidentally, the opposing scene between Jin Chen and Tan Du had just started filming; as soon as Qiao Yu left the director's room, he saw Jin Chen, fully made up and costumed on set.

The Immortal Sovereign sat alone on the Azure Cloud Terrace, transcendent like a bright moon entering one's embrace.

Jin Chen seemed to sense the gaze, glanced sideways and locked eyes with him from tens of meters away.

Qiao Yu stared fixedly for a while, then turned with a slap, rubbed his face, his cheeks flushing red.

A major weapon in the entertainment circle, living up to its reputation.

With such a mission target, who knows whether it's a blessing or a curse.

【Host heart rate fluctuating abnormally, have you already fallen for the mission target?】

The Survival Guide System is very inquisitive.

【...... No.】 Qiao Yu's bright, shining eyes couldn't help but look toward Jin Chen again.

Just an ordinary appearance enthusiast.

Perhaps worried that the distance was too far to see clearly, still remembering he needed to tell Jin Chen about changing the script, Qiao Yu simply had Xiao You move a stool to sit beside Zhou Weihong, enjoying an ultra-clear view of the filming progress.

The staff couldn't stop them in time, and Zhou Weihong didn't even chase them away.

Qiao Yu's gaze is hard to ignore.

Jin Chen glanced a few times without a trace, then focused on filming, while Tan Du, standing beneath the Azure Cloud Terrace steps, couldn't get into role as easily.

Tan Du thought Qiao Yu was looking at him; after all, he was too familiar with that fervent gaze, for a moment the morning's and last night's various tensions eased, and he inwardly sneered.

He also wondered how long Qiao Yu could keep up the act, unable to leave him anyway.

Little did he know, his smug, feigned aloof expression was fully observed by Jin Chen.

This scene features Tan Du playing the male lead Rong Zheng, who disregards sect rules to rescue an innocent demon tribe in distress, discovered and rebuked by Immortal Sovereign Qing Yu; it is also the first time Rong Zheng shows incomprehension of the overly strict cultivation sect rules, having his own set of principles for dealing with the world, laying the foundation for later unifying the immortal and demon clans.

"Scene 13, shot 2, take 1!"

Frost mist condensed into fine ice crystals on the jade steps, Immortal Sovereign Qing Yu appeared on the Azure Cloud Terrace, his silver-thread embroidered crane cloak billowing in the wind with a sharp arc.

Rong Zheng knelt on the moss-covered cold jade bricks, looking up at his master's silhouette outlined by the morning mist.

;Zichen Palace Regulation, Article 17, Clause 3, recite. ;

Qing Yu's voice was three degrees colder than the cold spring in the pool.

As he turned, icy patterns flowed across his forehead like moonlight halos, his three thousand silver hairs bound tightly by a gold silk ribbon, his aura cold and severe.

;All my disciples...... ;

Rong Zheng's voice stuck in his throat.

Three seconds of silence passed.

Tan Du couldn't continue no matter what, compelled to tremble by the pure chill in those eyes, unable to recall any lines.

The confrontation that should have been the male lead's unyielding soul's highlight was played by Tan Du like guilt over having done something wrong.

Click!

"Tan Du, what's going on?" Zhou Weifeng asked doubtfully.

"I..."

Tan Du was stunned for a moment; his subconscious reaction was that he couldn't handle the scene.

But how could he admit such a thing? He's the lead of this drama!

"Sorry, Director, I just forgot my lines." Tan Du forced a smile.

Jin Chen lowered his gaze lightly, his expression unchanged.

"Scene 13, camera 2, take 2!"

"Cut! Retake! The emotional fluctuation is wrong!"

"Scene 13, camera 2, take 7!"

"Cut! This take is scrapped, Tan Du, come over and look at the playback."

The atmosphere on set has become a bit strange.

After all, before filming started, word got out that Jin Chen would come to guest-star as the Master role, and netizens speculated that Tan Du would be overshadowed; the next day, Tan Du tagged Jin Chen on Weibo, proclaiming that he hoped senior Duoduo would give him guidance.

What a lot of Duoduo's guidance!

The staff who remembered that Weibo post couldn't help but hold back laughter.

Tan Du came to Zhou Weifeng's left side to watch the playback, standing close to Qiao Yu; seeing him with two bottles of water in his pocket, he instinctively said, "Unscrew the bottle cap for me."

Two seconds later, Qiao Yu realized he was being spoken to, looked at him as if he'd seen a ghost, and said, "Are you sick? I'm not your assistant."

Why Does the Protagonist Attack Him So Shamelessly?

Tan Du froze for a moment, never expecting Qiao Yu to speak to him in that attitude; the anger of being overshadowed flared up instantly.

"Qiao Yu!"

"What the hell, Qiao Yu! I told you to watch the monitor!" The ignored Zhou Weifeng was so angry he wanted to kick him.

"Sorry." Tan Du unwillingly stopped the topic, but his heart couldn't calm down.

What on earth is wrong with Qiao Yu.
