Chapter 68 Love-Obsessed - Mei Ting

"Then I'll go audition for the emperor role too."

"That's what Cao Jun, who was wielding an axe nearby, said."

"Cao Jun, you're playing an emperor? Is that even realistic?" Lin Xiangping said with a smile.

"What, don't I look like it?" Cao Jun said, puffing out his chest.

"They seem to want someone wise and powerful, what do you look like as a little brat?" Lin Xiangping said disdainfully.

“Haha! Sister Ping, you’re from Singapore, so I don’t blame you for not knowing Chinese history. Let me tell you! During the Three Kingdoms period, there were two Han Dynasty emperors, Emperor Shao of Han (Liu Bian) and Emperor Xian of Han (Liu Xie). Both of them were about my age,” Cao Jun said.

Lin Xiangping blushed. She really didn't know much about Chinese history, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a fool of herself.

"Cao Jun, you'd better keep it up," Su Chang encouraged him.

She also had high hopes for Cao Jun; he was a good actor and skilled in martial arts. When she acted opposite him as Chen Xiang, she felt a bit intimidated.

"You all went to auditions, so I want to go too," Lin Xiangping said, pouting.

"There seem to be very few female characters in the Three Kingdoms period! What role are you going to play?" Cao Jun asked with a smile.

“I’ll play the Empress, and then you’ll have to call me Mother,” Lin Xiangping said.

"Pfft!"

At that moment, everyone on set couldn't help but burst into laughter.

She's not even as old as Cao Jun, is it really okay for her to play his mother?
Cao Jun, looking defeated, said, "If you were to play the Empress of Emperor Ling of Han, you'd have to be at least forty years old! Otherwise, you couldn't have given birth to a son as old as me!"

"Hey, Cao Jun, I'm going to kill you..."

Lin Xiangping blushed deeply after being spoken to, and lunged forward as if to strike Cao Jun.

But Cao Jun laughed and ran away, while Lin Xiangping, determined to defeat him, chased after him relentlessly on set.

Watching the two playfully bickering, Jiao Enjun smiled and said, "It's good to be young, full of energy."

While Lin Xiangping and Cao Jun were playfully fighting, Zeng Li was also having fun with her good "elder sister" Mei Ting in a large house in Beijing.

In the living room, the two beautiful women were anything but ladylike, both tickling each other's armpits. The two ticklish women laughed until their faces turned red, and they even begged each other to stop.

"Pear, wait, I can't take it anymore." Mei Ting, the eldest sister, was the first to beg for mercy.

"Hmph! Serves you right for laughing at me."

Zeng Li's eyes flickered, and finally she reached into Mei Ting's chest and pinched it with her fingers.

"Oh dear! Pear, you're going to die!"

Mei Ting quickly pushed her good friend away, her face flushed as she scolded her.

"Hehe, I really envy you. It's so good to have a man to take care of you. You've gotten so much bigger since you were in school."

It has to be said that Zeng Li usually appears very ladylike to others, but only those who know her well know that she is a very playful girl, especially when she is with her close girlfriends, where she can easily utter wild and unrestrained words.

"What, missing a man?"

Mei Ting rolled her eyes and said.

"What's the use of thinking about it? They won't like me anyway," Zeng Li said resentfully, looking like a woman confined to her chambers, feeling resentful.

"Ah!" Mei Ting had just said it casually, but she didn't expect that her good friend really wanted a man.

"Tell me quickly, which man is blind and doesn't want our big pear?" Mei Ting hurriedly asked.

"It's a secret." Zeng Li smiled.

"Oh ho, you kept it a secret from me, did you want me to call Commander Ma over for some serious torture?" Mei Ting clapped his hands and said.

Zeng Li, Mei Ting, and Ma Yili (also known as Ma Yili) have an exceptionally deep friendship.

The three women are about the same age. Mei Ting was born a year earlier than Zeng Li and the other two. Mei Ting and Zeng Li were classmates and graduated from the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama in 96.

Commander Ma met the two women while performing in a play. Over time, the three women became very close and often addressed each other as sisters.

"Sister Mei, I heard Yan Po scolded you on set again? That kind of man is really despicable," Zeng Li changed the subject.

Upon hearing this, Mei Ting's previously happy expression immediately turned sour.

After the broadcast of "Red Lovers" in 98, she received great acclaim and won the Huabiao Award for Best Actress. After that, she starred in works such as "Don't Talk to Strangers" and "Huo Yuanjia", and her career developed rapidly.

Mei Ting is a person with her own opinions. She had a rumored relationship with Ye Daying when she was filming "Red Lovers". It is said that during that time she would discuss any problems with Ye Daying.

Ye Daying never got angry because her acting skills weren't up to par, but instead patiently guided her, and the relationship between the two became increasingly close.

However, Mei Ting later stated that the two were just friends, and there was no further development in the matter; their relationship gradually faded away.

As her career progressed smoothly, she met Yanpo.

At the time, Yan Po was just an art editor, and she couldn't keep up with Mei Ting in terms of either ability or money. However, Mei Ting took a liking to her, and, blinded by love, she quickly got together with Yan Po.

In 2001, the two got married.

After getting married, Yan Po's career did not develop, while Mei Ting's acting career became more and more successful. She starred in works such as "The Long March", "Passionate Era" and "Let Love Come Again", and gained more and more fans.

It can be said that during this period, Mei Ting was the one supporting the family. This relationship, where the woman was stronger and the man was weaker, led many people to secretly call Yan Po a gigolo.

Mei Ting appears to be a shrewd woman, but she can't hide her romantic nature. In 2003, she proactively provided 300 million yuan to help her husband make a film and even became the female lead in his work.

With her help, Yan Po filmed "Aspirin" and came into the public eye.

Mei Ting is also the female lead in the currently filming series "New Marriage Era".

But Yan Po is a real scoundrel. In order to show his control on set, he often picks fights with Mei Ting and uses Mei Ting's status to let the crew know who is the boss.

"Yan Po is doing this so he can make a good movie, I don't mind being criticized," Mei Ting said with a forced smile.

Seeing Mei Ting's expression, Zeng Li felt a little sorry for her and hugged Mei Ting with both hands, saying, "The ancients said it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. Sister Mei, I still want to advise you to stay away from this kind of man who uses you to establish his authority."

"Don't say that. Yanpo isn't that bad. He's very good to me at home," Mei Ting said.

"What's so good about it? When Commander Ma visited your house last time, she heard the two of you arguing right at the door. She told me everything," Zeng Li said quietly.

Mei Ting patted Zeng Li on the shoulder and said, "Li Zi, thank you. It's so good to have sisters like you."

“Hehe, of course, Sister Mei, why don’t you come with me to Xiao Rizi and have some fun?” Zeng Li said.

"No, the TV series 'New Marriage Era' isn't finished filming yet! If I leave, something could easily happen to the crew," Mei Ting said, shaking her head.
