Chapter 44 Sweetening the Smile, Tearing Each Other Apart

The next day, Wang Weili arrived at the film set on time to start work.

He had assumed that after what happened last night, Yang Mi would either take the day off or be affected by it, but instead...

"Su Su, don't let Fenji control you..."

With tears in her eyes and fear mixed with heartache on her face, Yang Mi's performance was exceptionally emotional, and her performance was so good that even the director found it hard to believe.

"Click! OK, this one's passed!"

"Change the direction of the lighting and photography."

"Yang Mi is feeling great today. Take a break, and we'll continue filming the next take."

Faced with Liang Shengquan's praise, Yang Mi maintained the composure expected of a big star, simply nodding slightly.

During a break in filming, she ran over to Wang Weili and sat down without paying attention to the strange looks from others.

Wang Weili stopped drinking water and looked at her: "Is something wrong?"

"Aren't you going to say something to me?"

"Um...you look really good today."

"Stop being so polite with me!"

Yang Mi's eyes sharpened as she scanned her surroundings before cautiously approaching Wang Weili.

"I'm asking you, what exactly happened last night?"

"What happened last night? Don't worry, I don't plan to tell your boyfriend..."

"You can still sue him?"

"He trespassed into the film set and acted aggressively in a fit of rage. The cameras captured it all, as you saw. I have every reason to sue him, but I don't intend to do so."

These words left Yang Mi speechless.

She paused for a moment, then quickly shook her head: "Who's talking about Liu Kaiwei! I'm asking you, did you bring anything special with you during rehearsal last night?"

Yang Mi looked Wang Weili up and down, seriously suspecting that he had used some kind of aphrodisiac perfume.

Last night, Yang Mi experienced a sudden tightening of her heart, a feeling of suffocation, and weakness in her limbs—a feeling she had never experienced before in her life. Back in her hotel room, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep. This morning, she was determined to find Wang Weili and get to the bottom of things.

Wang Weili glanced at her indifferently: "We rehearsed for several hours last night. If I had brought something with me, wouldn't you have noticed?"

"That's true."

Yang Mi lowered her head dejectedly, then glanced at Wang Weili with a strange look in her eyes.

"Last night you and Liu Shishi..."

"Sister Shi is here!"

Wang Weili suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a spot on the film set.

Yang Mi looked up and saw Liu Shishi, dressed in casual clothes, carrying large and small bags of fruit and milk tea into the film crew.

Several perceptive production assistants rushed over to help, followed by director Liang Shengquan and Lin Yufen.

They were all part of a team that had worked with Sugarman for many years, and they were very familiar with Liu Shishi. Liang Shengquan turned his head and glanced at Wang Weili.

When Liang Shengquan saw Yang Mi sitting next to Wang Weili, he curled his lips with a complicated expression.

Liu Shishi instructed her assistant, Taozi, to distribute the gifts she had brought to everyone, but her gaze quickly swept across the venue before pausing, her eyes suddenly sharpening.

"Director Lin, I see Yang Mi. Let me go say hello to her."

"Do as you please."

Lin Yufen took the milk tea from Liu Shishi, wondering why she had suddenly come to visit the set. Cai Yinong hadn't said anything!

Liu Shishi walked through the crowd, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her expression aloof and proud as she stood before Yang Mi.

Yang Mi remained motionless on the small stool, her eyebrows raised with a hint of disdain, but she still maintained a polite, business-like smile on her face.

"Shishi, it's been a long time!"

"Didn't we meet last night?"

"If you met but didn't chat, doesn't that just mean you've never met before?"

"Yeah, how's your boyfriend?"

These two simple greetings, spoken by Liu Shishi and Yang Mi, seemed to carry an undercurrent of tension.

Wang Weili, observing the two women up close from the center of the vortex, felt that Liu Shishi and Yang Mi's acting skills were even better than when they were working.

Yang Mi's chest heaved as she stared intently at Liu Shishi: "What boyfriend?"

"The one who couldn't get up from the floor last night because of a bad back."

"Hehe, you misunderstood. We're just ordinary friends. I'm currently single. If I were to find a boyfriend, I would consider someone nearby."

Wang Weili suddenly felt Yang Mi's gaze directed at him: Why is this related to me?

Liu Shishi's expression turned cold abruptly: "So you've been dumped, and you're planning to lose face and date a younger man?"

"That's awful, Willie. Do you think I'm old?"

Yang Mi was determined to provoke Liu Shishi, so she not only blatantly asked Wang Weili a question, but also generously stretched her back to show off her body curves.

Liu Shishi's face darkened, and she slowly clenched her fists.

"Naza, get me a milk tea too!"

Wang Weili introduced a new variable to break the deadlock, and Yang Mi and Liu Shishi looked together at Nazha, who was running excitedly towards them.

Yang Mi scoffed, "Shi Shi, instead of worrying about my love life, you should worry more about yourself!"

"..."

Liu Shishi squinted and didn't reply; she had indeed lost this round.

Naza ran over and handed the milk tea to Wang Weili, not forgetting to glance triumphantly at Yang Mi, completely unaware of Liu Shishi's apprehensive expression beside her.

Last night, the two of them sat on the sofa together discussing how to target Yang Mi, so naturally Nazha wouldn't be too wary of her "good sister".

Liu Shishi looked at Wang Weili, who was happily drinking milk tea, and thought to herself, "All you do is drink. Why are you flirting with people for no reason?"

This wasn't wrong to blame Wang Weili, because, unbeknownst to Liu Shishi, Reba was craning her neck to look in their direction.

……

After finishing filming, Wang Weili returned to the hotel, ate dinner, took a shower, and was just about to watch "Dragon Raja 2" when the doorbell rang.

Looking through the peephole, the person outside, completely covered from head to toe, had just taken off their sunglasses to reveal their identity; who else could it be but Liu Shishi?

Upon entering the room, Liu Shishi removed her sunglasses, mask, and coat, revealing her slender and shapely figure beneath a black hoodie.

Seeing her actions, Wang Weili said, "Want to grab a late-night snack together?"

"Eat your head!"

Liu Shishi gave a coquettish laugh, glanced around the room and discovered that it was an executive suite with a living room.

Apart from the clothes hanging on the hanger and the novels and cell phones on the sofa, there wasn't a trace of clutter... that's really his style.

After spending seven days together, Liu Shishi learned that Wang Weili was a person who cared a lot about cleanliness, and this room was the perfect example of that.

"I'm sleeping here tonight!"

"Um?"

Before Wang Weili could say whether it was good or bad, his cell phone rang.

The phone was placed on the sofa, closer to Liu Shishi, so that she could see the caller ID at a glance: Yang Mi!

Why did she call you?

"have no idea."

Wang Weili walked over, picked up his phone, and answered it in front of Liu Shishi, but did not put it on speakerphone.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Before Yang Mi could answer, Wang Weili felt a refreshing citrus scent waft over him, and then he tightly wrapped his face in his hands and pressed his face against hers.

"Um, Wang Weili, could you come to my room for a moment?"

As soon as Yang Mi finished speaking, Wang Weili felt the wind rushing past his ear.

Liu Shishi stood in front of Wang Weili, clenching her fists, her eyes wide with anger, determined to go upstairs and tear Yang Mi apart.
