Chapter 385
"She was an obsessed science fiction writer," Mo Ting replied guiltily .
"Then let's stick with that . . . " Tangning responded . "Since the writer chose that career for her, there must be a reason . Plus, didn't you tell me to treat the past as a form of experience?"
"Fine . . . I can't argue with you . " In reality, whether her character was a military personnel or writer, it would have been equally interesting . But, the weakness of a writer added to the suspense . It was, after all, a disaster movie, if people didn't feel on edge, then the movie would fail miserably .
Actually, the thing Tangning was most comfortable with, was the fact that the entire production involved people she knew and trusted . Whether it was the producer or director, she was confident they were going to work well together .
. . .
Meanwhile . . .
That evening, Tang Xuan returned home to find Elder Tang's lawyer was just leaving . In a panic, she approached him and asked, "Lawyer Liu, are you leaving? Let me walk you out . "
"Big Miss, please stay . . . " as soon as the lawyer saw her, he waved his hand anxiously and hurried out .
This increased Tang Xuan's suspicions . It seemed, she would have to clarify Elder Tang's intentions . She was sure he must have said something to the lawyer for him to avoid her like a mouse would avoid a cat .
Tang Xuan's expression was a little dull as she made a phone call to her assistant, "Help me investigate why grandfather was talking to Lawyer Liu . I want to know the results by tomorrow at the latest . "
"Yes, President Tang . "
As long as Tangning was around, she'd always feel like there was a splinter on her back .
As for the witchcraft incident, although she didn't win, she did not completely lose either . At least Tangning no longer had a film to partake in and everyone in the industry was avoiding her .
If the face she despised continued to appear on television, she would not be able to eat nor sleep .
. . .
Late into the night, inside the glass manor, the lights were shining brightly .
From the moment Han Xiner stepped foot onto the island, she had been trying to familiarize herself with her surroundings .
However, Bei Chendong had designed the place like a maze . So, no matter which turn she took, she'd always find herself back at the same spot . Meanwhile, the jerk that claimed he could not take care of himself, was nowhere to be seen . . .
"How do I get out of here? Why would one person live in such a huge place? Does he like the sound of his own echo?"
At this moment, Bei Chendong was having a bath . As he heard Han Xiner's footsteps approaching, he did not have any intention of warning her . He simply lay in the huge pool-style bath with his eyes closed and his slung arm in the warm water .
"Where could he be . . . " As Han Xiner spoke, she pushed open the door to the bathroom . The first thing she lay eyes on was Bei Chendong's firm and muscly back . Of course, it was only a second before she turned around .
Did a tasteless accident scene - typical of a novel - have to happen in her reality?
However, she had absolutely no idea this was not an accident . Bei Chendong had actually done it deliberately . . .
In fact, it was extremely deliberate . . .
"Sorry, continue what you were doing . I'll leave right away!"
"Since you're here, why don't you give me a hand . . . " Bei Chendong said as he turned around and leaned on the edge of the bath . "I can only take off my clothes, but putting them back on is a little difficult . "
"Don't wear it then . . . " Han Xiner turned around, ready to run away, but Bei Chendong's words held her back .
"You said it . . . " Bei Chendong stood up out of the water without any intention to cover up . . .
In actual fact, he was still wearing a pair of boxers . . .
Although Han Xiner's scream was a little . . . frightening, Bei Chendong didn't know why he found tricking her quite entertaining as he watched her frantically run away .
The night was long, but it seemed, he wasn't going to be lonely .
. . .
Han Xiner was stunned speechless . . . She had actually spotted the boxers on Bei Chendong's body, but she still ran away in fear . As she stopped she placed her hands on her cheeks . . .
They were frighteningly hot .
Actually, she wasn't just embarassed, she was also afraid .
Would a weirdo like Bei Chendong have a whole heap of perverted fetishes? There was no one else around . So, if he was to do something to her, she'd have nowhere to hide . . .
Thinking of this, Han Xiner immediately decided to give Tangning a phone call . But amidst the panic, she ended up calling the wrong number . She then blurted urgently into the phone, "Ning Jie, can you come pick me up right now? I'm a little scared . What if Bei Chendong kills me?"
On the other end of the phone, there was silence . . .
After a short moment, a male voice faintly replied, "I'm Bei Chendong . "
Han Xiner: " . . . "
"At the moment, killing is not one of my hobbies, but, I can try to make it into one . "
Han Xiner: " . . . "
"Hurry back here and help me change my bandages . . . "
"I can't, I'm scared!" Han Xiner still felt it was best for her to keep a distance from Bei Chendong . "I want to go back to Beijing . "
Bei Chendong laughed . . . He laughed uncontrollably, "I'll get the housekeeper to accompany you . Is that better?"
"Didn't you say you have no staff here?" Han Xiner immediately latched onto this point and refuted .
"The housekeeper is only in charge of cleaning the house, she does not take care of my diet and daily lifestyle needs . "
After seeing the friendly housekeeper, Han Xiner let down her guard . At least it meant she wasn't alone .
But, faced with this building and the weirdo, Bei Chendong, she still needed courage . Perhaps tonight she wouldn't be able to sleep, just in case something was to happen . . .
Even thinking about the possibilities frightened her .
After putting down his phone, Bei Chendong realized it was best to return Han Xiner to a place where she could be amongst other people . Otherwise, she would actually think of him as a psycho killer .
He then stood up from the bath, put on his robe with one arm and went to look for Han Xiner, "Help me put my clothes back on . Let's return to Beijing . . . "
"Huh . . . Didn't you say you have nothing to film?"
"Well, now I do," Bei Chendong had already looked through the script of 'WH'; it was right down his alley . So, he decided to bite the bullet and return to his home in Beijing for a while; at least until the little creature no longer feared him .
Han Xiner had no idea that Bei Chendong was returning to Beijing because of her .
She naively thought he was simply returning because he accepted a job .
But, as long as she got to go back to Bejing, she was cheering on the inside . If she was to continue staying in this place, she was going to go crazy .
Bei Chendong looked at the joy on Han Xiner's face and couldn't help but sigh . So they say, good things come to those that wait . . .
Dealing with Han Xiner was like slow-cooking a frog!
He had to be patient . There was plenty of time ahead .
But, did she really not want the honor and pride of being the assistant of a national treasure actor?
Did she know how many people were lining up for this opportunity?
Bei Chendong sighed . . .
He had no choice but to patiently tame her . Why couldn't she take his hints the way that Tangning easily took Mo Ting's hints?
