Chapter 62 Explains My Feelings
When this part finally came to an end, the assistant walked up with light steps, holding makeup tools in her hand, ready to touch up Xu Qinghuan's makeup.
As she carefully applied her foundation, she exclaimed sincerely, "Sister Qinghuan, you are amazing! The female lead's emotions in the drama are as unpredictable as the ever-changing winds, but you have portrayed them so vividly and realistically. It is truly admirable! I think only an actor with your superb acting skills and rich experience could do something so outstanding!"
"I feel okay, but I need to keep working hard."
"Is that secretary still here?" Xu Qinghuan asked.
"Yes, she's been sitting there waiting for you," Xiaoyun said, pointing in Xie Shiyun's direction.
"Xiaoyun, can you get her away from me? I don't like her, and I don't like any woman who appears next to Shi Yue."
Xu Qinghuan looked at Xie Shiyun sitting there and said thoughtfully.
Xiaoyun hesitated, "Sister Qinghuan, isn't this a bit inappropriate? She seems to be working very diligently, and besides, she's just President Fu's secretary." Xu Qinghuan raised an eyebrow, a hint of displeasure in her eyes, "What, my words don't carry any weight?" Xiaoyun quickly lowered her head, "I'll take care of it right away."
Xiaoyun walked up to Xie Shiyun and said softly, "Miss Xie, Qinghuan has something to attend to and it might take a long time. Why don't you go back first?" Xie Shiyun stood up and smiled politely, "It's alright, I can wait." Xiaoyun was a little anxious and leaned closer to whisper, "Miss Xie, you should still go. You know some things about the entertainment industry, and she doesn't want any unnecessary trouble."
Xie Shiyun's smile faded slightly, a sense of helplessness rising in her heart. But she also knew she couldn't offend Xu Qinghuan, so she could only pick up her bag and say, "Then I'll be going now. Please tell Miss Xu."
She picked up her phone and sent a message to Fu Shiyue: "Mr. Fu, Ms. Xu is filming on set today, so she's not available to talk. Could we reschedule for another time?" She then sent the message.
After a while, he replied: "Today's contract must be completed. If you don't, I think you won't be doing any work." Then, he sent a smiling emoji.
She was so annoyed...
Both of them wanted to mess with her.
After saying that, he turned and left, and Xu Qinghuan saw this scene from afar, a satisfied smile curving her lips.
"Xiaoyun, has she left?" Xu Qinghuan tilted her head slightly and asked in a gentle tone.
"Sister Qinghuan, she has already left," Xiaoyun, who was standing to the side, quickly replied.
Upon hearing this answer, Xu Qinghuan slowly turned around to face the mirror. The woman in the mirror had an exquisitely beautiful face, skin as white as snow, eyebrows arched like a crescent moon, eyes bright as stars, and a high, straight nose with naturally red, cherry-like lips. At this moment, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, forming a captivating smile.
Xu Qinghuan gazed at herself in the mirror, her eyes revealing confidence and satisfaction. She gently raised her hand and stroked her smooth, delicate cheek, as if savoring the beauty that belonged to her.
"Hmph! If any woman dares to appear beside Shi Yue, I will kick them all out without hesitation. No matter what means I use, only I can exist by Shi Yue's side. Because in this world, only I am the woman most worthy of him."
Xu Qinghuan spoke softly, but her tone was firm and domineering.
She slowly stood up from the sofa, gently patted the wrinkles on her clothes, took a deep breath, and began to carefully tidy herself up. She carefully checked her makeup in the mirror to make sure it was perfect and her hair wasn't messy, then nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and walked towards the door, preparing to head to the filming location.
When she reached out and grasped the doorknob, twisted it forcefully, and pushed the door open, she was surprised to find Xie Shiyun still standing motionless at the doorway!
"Didn't I tell you to leave a long time ago? Why are you still here?" Xu Qinghuan frowned, glaring at the person in front of her with displeasure.
Xie Shiyun looked nervous, clutching a folder tightly in both hands. He quickly explained, "Ms. Xu, please forgive my intrusion. This job is extremely important to me. If I can't successfully complete this contract assigned by the president today, I'm afraid I'll face unemployment. So, no matter what, I must stay here and wait for you. I hope you can understand and cooperate. I'm really sorry to have bothered you..."
Xu Qinghuan looked at the other person expressionlessly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and said slowly, "Oh? So you're threatening me to complete your mission?" Her cold voice seemed to penetrate one's soul.
The person opposite him quickly waved his hand and explained, "That's not how it is, Miss Xu, please don't misunderstand!" A layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and a hint of panic was revealed in his eyes.
However, Xu Qinghuan didn't seem to intend to listen to his further explanation.
She shrugged lightly and said casually, "Sorry, I have a lot of work to do right now. If you have the patience to wait, then you can wait here. If you don't have that patience, you can go back and report to your boss." After saying this, Xu Qinghuan raised her head and walked forward with elegant and firm steps.
Seeing this, she instinctively wanted to chase after her, but before she could take two steps, Xiao Yun suddenly blocked her way.
Xiaoyun smiled and said to the person, "I'm so sorry, beautiful lady, our Qinghuan just finished filming an important scene today and has to attend a celebration banquet tonight. She has a lot of things to do, so I'm afraid she won't be able to find time to handle other matters. Please understand."
...
Xie Shiyun stood quietly outside the filming location, her gaze fixed on the tightly closed door, silently praying that she could see the person she wanted to see soon.
Time ticked by, and she waited quietly...waiting...
As time went on, more and more people gathered here. Among them, a large group of enthusiastic fans also flocked to the scene, holding various support items in their hands, their faces beaming with excitement and anticipation.
The crowd began to stir, and Xie Shiyun was soon jostled around by the people around her, her body swaying involuntarily with the flow of people.
Faced with such a chaotic scene, Xie Shiyun couldn't help but secretly lament his predicament.
Meanwhile, Xu Qinghuan, who was on set, saw the chaotic scene outside the door through the window and immediately understood the situation. Based on past experience, she knew that as a celebrity, if she went out through the main entrance at this moment, she would be surrounded by these enthusiastic fans and would have no way to escape.
Therefore, she had already planned to quietly leave the filming location through another passage.
Xie Shiyun watched the surging crowd before her, her anxiety growing. As time ticked by, Xu Qinghuan still hadn't appeared, and she began to realize that she might really not be able to wait for her any longer.
Thinking of this, she sighed helplessly and finally decided to turn around and leave.
In fact, just as Xie Shiyun had guessed, Xu Qinghuan did indeed act according to the arrangements made earlier.
She first asked Xie Shiyun to wait at the entrance, knowing that her fans would be there to cheer her on. Therefore, to avoid causing unnecessary trouble and chaos, she decisively chose another, relatively hidden route, successfully avoiding the crowds at the main entrance, and smoothly got into her car and left the filming location.
After a long day of work, Xu Qinghuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She gently picked up the phone lying to the side and skillfully dialed a number. A familiar voice came from the other end of the line.
"Let's have dinner together tonight," she said.
Then she hung up the phone.
In this luxurious and elegant upscale Western restaurant, soft lighting illuminates every corner, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere.
The restaurant was filled with the gentle strains of classical music.
Xu Qinghuan sat there quietly, wearing a wine-red square-neck velvet dress that perfectly outlined her slender waist and graceful curves. The gathered sleeves were neatly gathered below her arms, adding not only a touch of elegance but also a hint of mystery. Her long, straight black hair was smooth and shiny, gently draped over her fair shoulders, while the delicate tassel earrings on her earlobes shimmered with captivating light as she moved her head slightly.
At this moment, Xu Qinghuan was like a red rose blooming in the dark night, exuding an alluring fragrance, quietly waiting for the person who was about to come to keep their appointment.
Not long after, a tall, slender figure came into view. It was him, his posture upright like a pine tree, his well-tailored dark suit further highlighting his extraordinary temperament. He strode confidently towards Xu Qinghuan's location.
When Xu Qinghuan saw him, a barely perceptible hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She hadn't expected him to come today. He always said he was too busy with work when she invited him to dinner before, but he came today.
He walked to the table and said apologetically, "Sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way."
Xu Qinghuan gently shook her head. "It's okay, I just arrived recently too."
"You called me? What's up?" Fu Shiyue's cold voice rang out, like a winter wind, entering the other person's ears without any warmth.
Hearing these cold words, the woman opposite her trembled slightly, but still mustered her courage to say, "Shi Yue, could you please not be so cold to me..." Her soft tone carried a hint of resentment and pleading.
However, she was met only with a suffocating silence. The air seemed to freeze, and the tension between them reached its peak.
Time passed slowly, and neither of them spoke. They just sat there quietly, neither knowing how to break the deadlock.
Finally, Fu Shiyue spoke first, but his gaze did not fall on her. Instead, he focused on the steak he was cutting and asked casually, "My secretary came to see you today to discuss a collaboration, but was turned away?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghuan felt a surge of grievance. She bit her lip, forcing back her tears, and said with a hint of annoyance, "Can't we talk about work when I invite you to dinner...? I've come to see you today because I have something to tell you." After saying that, she raised her head and stared intently at Fu Shiyue with her large, watery eyes, as if trying to see through his cold exterior to his true thoughts.
Fu Shiyue slowly raised his head, staring directly at the woman in front of him, his tone tinged with impatience and doubt: "What exactly do you want to say? Hiding things has never been your style, Xu Qinghuan."
Xu Qinghuan bit her lip tightly, her hands clenched into fists, as if she were having a fierce internal struggle. Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly stood up.
"Fu Shiyue, I like you! I really, really like you, and I want to be with you! From the day I joined your company, the moment I first saw you, my heart was captivated. This feeling has lasted until now, and it's only getting stronger. I've liked you for a very, very long time. Can you... can you accept my feelings?"
Just then, Fu Shiyue, who was cutting something, suddenly stopped.
He slowly stood up and walked step by step toward Xu Qinghuan.
Every step felt like it was treading on Xu Qinghuan's heart, making her so nervous she could barely breathe.
As Fu Shiyue approached, Xu Qinghuan's heart pounded harder and harder; she could even hear her own heartbeat clearly.
However, when Fu Shiyue actually stood in front of her, she couldn't help but lower her head, not daring to look him in the eye.
Fu Shiyue chuckled and said, "You've actually developed feelings for your boss? Xu Qinghuan, don't you know how foolish that is?"
That simple sentence was like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing the flame of hope that had just ignited in Xu Qinghuan's heart.
She stood there frozen, as if struck by lightning, her face turning deathly pale.
