Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 426 Getting married here, getting back together here?
The next morning, all the friends were going home.

"Okay, okay, let's get together again after filming wraps up."

"No problem, you can contact me anytime."

"I'm serious, Tangyan is really good, you should consider it."

Luo Jin told Li Qiutang to get lost.

Somehow, in the end, Huang Xiaoming, who was resting in Yanjing and had no filming for the time being, ended up taking Qin Lan to the airport.

"I'll drive Sister Lan home," Li Qiutang said, not wanting to embarrass the two of them.

Huang Xiaoming said, "It's okay, I'll take it. I'm free anyway."

Huang Xiaoming drove his own car yesterday, and since he didn't seem embarrassed, Li Qiutang let him be and invited Qin Lan to get in the car. It was a last-minute private event, and neither of them brought assistants, which made things much easier.

“You really treat Xiaoming like a driver?” Li Qiutang laughed at Qin Lan. “Sit in the front.” She said softly, “What’s so awkward about it? It’s just a car ride.”

After watching the last car leave, Li Qiutang went back home. The film crew had a day off today, and while others could rest, he still had some things to do.

On the way to the airport, Huang Xiaoming was driving, and Qin Lan was sitting in the passenger seat.

They didn't even know when the last time they sat together alone like this was.

It will take more than an hour to get to the Capital Airport, so the two of them can't just not say a word to each other.

To ease the awkward atmosphere, Huang Xiaoming took the initiative to say, "Going back to filming?"

"Ah, yes," Qin Lan said, somewhat wanting to but also not wanting to talk to Huang Xiaoming, "do two activities."

After Qin Lan finished speaking, she fell silent, and the car fell into a deathly silence again.

Huang Xiaoming was wondering whether to play a song when Qin Lan asked, "What about you?"

"I'm taking a few days off, and I'll be joining a film crew next month."

"Hehe, it's pretty good."

"Yes, haha."

The two of them stopped talking again.

The car was now on the Daqing-Guangzhou Expressway. After a long pause, Huang Xiaoming said, "Qiu Tang and Yi Fei have finally gotten married." As soon as he said this, Huang Xiaoming wanted to slap himself. Why did he have to say such a thing?

"Well, it's been so many years, it's time to get married," Qin Lan said. "What about you? You should get married too."

It was easy for him to answer when others asked, but when Qin Lan asked him, he really didn't know how to answer. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's still early, no rush."

Only he knew the truth: he and Yang Ying hadn't seen each other since "The Invisible Guest" was released. He was avoiding peace and quiet. In the past month or two, they had only communicated by phone, and one out of every three phone calls ended in an argument.

Qin Lan said with a hint of sarcasm, "Still early? You're almost 4 at 37, and you still don't want to get married?"

Huang Xiaoming blurted out: "You're two years younger than me, how are you any better?"

After breaking up with Lu Chuan, Qin Lan didn't date anyone else.

Qin Lan fell silent, and the car fell into a deathly silence once again.

After a few more minutes, Qin Lan said, "You're driving too slowly. You don't even dare to step on the gas on the highway. Look, more than a dozen cars have overtaken you in these two minutes."

Huang Xiaoming doesn't usually drive; his assistant and driver handle everything for him.

He also honestly admitted, "I don't usually drive."

Qin Lan then remembered that Huang Xiaoming had been in a serious car accident, and it was this accident that brought their relationship to light.

Perhaps that incident left a lasting impression, which is why he's now afraid to drive fast.

"I'm sorry." Huang Xiaoming inexplicably started apologizing to Qin Lan. "Why are you apologizing to me?" Qin Lan asked.

"During the movie's promotion, you were the one who was said those things about you."

Qin Lan actually knew that Yang Ying was behind the smear campaign against her, but she could distinguish between primary and secondary factors and knew that Huang Xiaoming wouldn't do such a thing: "It has nothing to do with you. It's just that the guy surnamed Lu deserves to die a horrible death." She didn't mention Yang Ying.

"He's filming the same movie as Qiu Tang. When it's released, everyone will know what kind of person he is after comparing them." Qin Lan didn't have a good word to say about Lu Chuan, but Huang Xiaoming didn't think Qin Lan's insults were too harsh.

Huang Xiaoming said, "Let bygones be bygones, there's no point in dwelling on it. A director should let his work speak for itself." This was seen as him agreeing with Qin Lan.

Before long, Huang Xiaoming leisurely escorted Qin Lan to the Capital Airport and even helped her with her luggage.

Neither of them expected to be photographed by reporters.

Li Qiutang successfully proposed last night, and today countless reporters are waiting outside the film and television base for interviews.

The media already knows that Li Qiutang invited many friends from the industry to witness the event. With so many celebrities gathered together, how could there not be news?

As expected, Huang Xiaoming and Qin Lan got back together!

The potential profits from this story are so great that journalists wouldn't sell the photos and videos to Huang Xiaoming or Qin Lan's teams in advance.

While #Li Qiutang proposed to Liu Yifei# was still trending, another topic popped up in the afternoon: #Huang Xiaoming and Qin Lan suspected of getting back together#.

"At 10 a.m. this morning, someone photographed Huang Xiaoming driving Qin Lan to her flight at the Capital Airport. Huang Xiaoming carried Qin Lan's luggage, and the two acted intimately, suggesting that they may have reconciled."

"As friends of Li Qiutang and Liu Yifei, Huang Xiaoming and Qin Lan were invited to witness the proposal party last night. This morning, Huang Xiaoming drove Qin Lan away. From the video, the two seemed to get along naturally. Huang Xiaoming even took Qin Lan's luggage from the trunk and escorted her into the terminal."

Yang Ying's past has already been thoroughly investigated: she debuted as a young model, underwent plastic surgery, and was a homewrecker (netizens say she interfered in the relationship between Huang Xiaoming and Li Feier).

Yang Ying's reputation has never been good; most of Huang Xiaoming's fans dislike this "sister-in-law."

Now that Huang Xiaoming has "reunited" with his ex-girlfriend, let's not even talk about whether Qin Lan is good or not, she's at least better than Yang Ying.

Surprisingly, Huang Xiaoming's fans didn't say anything harsh.

Some people even enjoyed watching the drama unfold, saying it would be good if Xiaoming and Qin Lan got back together: "Qin Lan was willing to pay a huge penalty to take care of the injured Xiaoming back then, which shows that she is a person with feelings and character."

This is inexplicable.

Huang Xiaoming and Qin Lan both ignored this news.

That night, as if deliberately being filmed, reporters discovered that Huang Xiaoming took his assistant out for drinks, and he was only helped away by his assistant in the middle of the night.

It seems he intends to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

Rumors of Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying's breakup resurfaced.

After seeing her friends off, Li Qiutang had a meeting with the crew all morning to check on the filming schedule. The producer repeatedly emphasized that the domestic scenes must be filmed before December, otherwise they would not be able to meet the schedule in Toronto.

“We only have one month in Toronto. We can arrive late and leave early, but we absolutely cannot leave late. Leaving even one day late will cause a lot of trouble with the procedures. The Toronto co-production team is already preparing.”

This is putting pressure on the director.

However, Li Qiutang did not guarantee that the domestic scenes could be completed on time, only saying that she would try her best to catch up with the schedule.

"Jing Tian's scenes will be finished soon. Make sure to inform Chen Kailin properly. Let her train. Jing Tian is a young lady, and she's not afraid of wire work. Let her fall and get hit if she needs to. Don't spoil her."

"Make sure to make multiple backups of key props and prepare them in advance. Otherwise, you might need our art and prop departments to provide them when the time comes. We're all old buddies, so let's be more efficient."

After each person emphasized a few more issues, the meeting adjourned.

After Li Qiutang finished having lunch with the three parents, Liu Yifei was still fast asleep in her room. Li Qiutang quickly explained, "Last night she stared at that ring until dawn. I told her to go to sleep, but she wouldn't."

"Yifei is so excited!" Li's mother said with a smile. "Yifei's mother, we need to discuss the wedding."
