Early the next morning, Yun Muxi sent Niannian to her kindergarten and went to the filming site in a hurry.
On that day, she needed to do the first scene that Ding Sisi had done before: Zhen Ai went to the college reunion and impressed everyone present. The beauty of their class, Lu Yuxin, thought that Zhen Ai stole her spotlight and therefore wanted to retaliate. She asked Zhen Ai to drink wine as the punishment of her being late. Zhen Ai had no head for wine and was totally drunk after drinking a bottle of it. Her friend Tang Xiaoxuan brought her home and accidentally traveled to another space and disappeared.
As Yun Muxi entered the dressing room, Amy, who had been waiting there for her long, said hello to her with a smile as she saw her. “Xiao Xi, here you are! Hurry, I’m ready to do your makeup. Today, I’ll be able to avenge myself.”
Yun Muxi could not understand her words, so, she asked, “Avenge yourself on what?”
Amy explained to her with a smile. “When I did Ding Sisi’s makeup for the first time, it took me six hours to finish it, but, the director was still not satisfied with my work even after I amended it six times. Today, I’ll do your makeup, and I’m sure they will be impressed by my work. You know, it’s not because my skill is too poor but because Ding Sisi is not beautiful enough that caused my last failure.”
Yun Muxi finally understood her words but did not say anything about it. She was never someone who hit a man when he was down. At that point, she did not want to wag her tongue and give others a cause for gossip, so, she chose to shut up.
Yun Muxi sat down before a mirror, and surely, Amy finished her makeup in less than one hour with satisfaction and even praised her in surprise. “Wow! Xiao Xi, you’re really a born beauty. I really envy you. Look at you, you’re amazing after putting on makeup. Even I could not help falling in love with you.”
Yun Muxi did not take Amy’s praise seriously. She just replied with a chuckle, “Amy, don’t tease me. I look good just because your skill is so excellent.”
When Yun Muxi appeared in the set, all the people were amazed by her beauty as they saw her. They had been surprised by her appearance once when she played a supporting role last time and thought she could not look better, however, today, she looked even more beautiful with her makeup and amazed everyone again.
It might be normal for someone to impress others with her beauty once, however, it was indeed difficult for the person to impress them even deeper for the second time.
When everyone was lost in Yun Muxi’s beauty, a man came to them and called gently, “Xiao Xi.”
At that moment, the set was rather quiet for everyone was overwhelmed by Yun Muxi’s look, therefore, the sudden voice awoke them and they all looked toward the entrance. “Who is this guy?”
Suddenly, someone cried out, “Is he Mr. Mou, the young master of the Mou’s Group?”
Reminded by the words, many people could recall the person before their eyes. “He is indeed the young master of the Mou’s Group, Mou Yichen!” Mou Yichen was so well-known because he appeared in many financial magazines as a new genius in the financial community recently. He took over the Mou’s Group at such a young age and easily made such a big business flourish. Coupled with that he had become the center of everyone’s attention in business for he successfully did a large acquisition, he had won many businessmen’s admiration and become a new topic in his area.
After being amazed by Yun Muxi, the people in the set were amazed by Mou Yichen once more.
Under everyone’s eyes, Mou Yichen walked to Yun Muxi and said in a soft voice, “Xiao Xi, today is the first day you act in a play, so, I thought I should pay a visit to your film set.”
Yun Muxi became shy under people’s watchful eyes, not knowing what to say, so, she just showed an embarrassed smile.
She could hear others discussing whether Mou Yichen was her boyfriend or not.
“Judging by Mou Yichen’s gaze on her, I can tell that they are not just normal friends.”
“I agree. What a handsome couple they are! They look so great together.”
“However, I think that Xiao Xi and Gong Yu match each other better.”
“Do you know why the young master of the Mou’s Group would be in love with Xiao Xi? I heard that she was born in a normal family and didn’t have any background.”
“Don’t you know that both Xiao Xi and Mr. Mou graduated from University Z? They might be a couple when they were still in the school.”
…
With people’s discussions, Mou Yichen handed Yun Muxi a bunch of roses, which looked like a display of affection in the onlookers’ eyes and made them even bolder in guessing their relationship.
Right then, Gong Yu entered the set and saw the scene.
There was no scene on Gong Yu that day, and he came to the set because he wanted to watch Yun Muxi’s part. Seeing Mou Yichen and feeling the ambiguous atmosphere there, he looked grave and the air around him seemed to be frozen. His eyes narrowed into a line with coldness shining in them.
Mou Yichen keenly spotted Gong Yu’s unfriendly gaze and looked at him, finding him wear a grave expression. He cast him a sharp gaze as well. The two started battling in secret through their gazes as if there were nobody around them. Seeing this, the onlookers all felt mind-blowing and expanded their imagination.
Zhao Yi felt annoyed as he saw the crew show a strong interest in others’ affairs. He did not like gossips, thus, he chimed in immediately, “Alright, everybody, get ready. We’ll start filming right away.”
On hearing this, Mou Yichen turned his gaze from Gong Yu to Yun Muxi, and he looked gentle again as he said to her, “Go to play your part and I’ll be watching you aside. When your scenes are done, I’ll drive you home.”
Yun Muxi was about to refuse, but, Zhao Yi urged her with saying, “Xiao Xi, get ready. We’ll start shooting.”
Yun Muxi glanced at Mou Yichen before turning back to the shooting area.
Xie Ning, who acted as Tang Xiaoxuan and also one of Zhen Ai’s good friends in the film, walked over to Yun Muxi and said in a tentative tone, “Yun Muxi, is that man the young master of the Mou’s Group, Mou Yichen?”
Xie Ning had a great interest in Mou Yichen. In the film and television circles, one could have a promising future if he or she could find a powerful and rich backer. Ding Sisi’s career was so flourishing just because she had found such a person. As for Xie Ning, she had been suffering from being supportless, so, she had turned her target to Mou Yichen long ago.
Yun Muxi nodded indifferently without denying it, but she appeared that she did not want to continue that conversation.
Xie Ning turned her intense gaze to Mou Yichen’s handsome figure and continued her question. “Yun Muxi, is he your boyfriend?”
Yun Muxi replied to her icily, “No, he is not. The shooting will start in no time, let’s get ready for it.”
After saying this, Yun Muxi walked to her position. Watching her back with a cold expression, Xie Ning murmured, displeased, “Hump, you’re being too arrogant. You’re just a nameless screenwriter. Do you really feel proud of sponging off a rich man? You’re far from it!”
Xie Ning’s voice was not too low that Yun Muxi could hear her harsh words, but Gong Yu and Mou Yichen, who were standing outside the set, could not hear her.
Yun Muxi paused her steps for a second before continuing on her own business. She did not want to arouse conflict or argue with such a boring woman in vain. However, Xie Ning regarded Yun Muxi’s silence as a surrender and felt even more complacent, thinking of finding a chance to frustrate Yun Muxi’s pride.
Soon, everything was ready. Zhao Yi shouted to the center of the set. “Get ready, everybody. Action!”
The private room was immediately in an uproar, and it sounded that the people inside were talking about something. The atmosphere was rather lively and animated. Yun Muxi pushed the door open in a natural way and walked in.
She had a bright smile on her face, which made her look like an angel. Her lips were in an arc as perfect as the moon. The people in that room all stared at her with amazed expressions.
The white dress she wore was simple and unadorned, however, her graceful, elegant manner and aura made her simple dress exactly beautiful.
Her face was so beautiful and charming. The dim lamplight cast a faint halo on her back, bringing her a trace of dim beauty.
Feeling her unique and spiritual aura, the actors all acted their amazement naturally.
The actor who sat at the center of the crowd said to her, “Hi, beauty, are you lost? We’re having a party right here. Welcome to join us.”
The other actors chimed in with sparkling eyes, “Yes, come on! Join us!”
Tang Xiaoxuan, played by Xie Ning, walked into the room at that moment. Seeing that everyone look toward the door with amazed expressions, she followed their sight and saw Yun Muxi stand beside.
She immediately walked to her to take her arm intimately and said in an excited tone, “Xiaoai, why are you so late? Everyone is here except you.” After finishing speaking, she rubbed her head against Yun Muxi’s shoulder intimately.
“Cut!” Zhao Yi’s voice sounded clear.
He nodded with satisfaction while continuing, “Good job on this scene. Prepare yourselves and we’ll move to the next scene.”
The scene was very simple that though Yun Muxi did not use any skill in acting in this part, she performed perfectly with her easiness. For Yun Muxi, she was just playing herself, and it would be better to let everything go on in a natural way.
Upon hearing the director’s voice, Xie Ning immediately pulled her arm back from Yun Muxi’s arm and patted her clean sleeves as if she had touched something dirty. She then walked away wiggling her hip to the chair beside them to take a rest. After sitting down, she took out her cell phone and sent Ding Sisi a message. “Sisi, you know what, the screenwriter who has seized your role has a powerful background. She sponged off the young master of the Mou’s Group.”
Soon, she received Ding Sisi’s reply. “The Mou’s Group? Are you referring to Mou Yichen?”
Xie Ning secretly turned the camera on her phone toward Mou Yichen, took a photo of him, and sent it to Ding Sisi.
