Su Yaya’s heart skipped a beat, what does he mean? He was unhappy because she didn’t ask what he was doing? But what right did she have to ask him? He was the male lead and she was the cannon fodder female side character. They were only married by contract and she was only his wife by name, meaning that she simply needed to do her best at acting her part. Why did she need to care about so much?

Hehe.

She laughed and said, “You’re going out because you have matters to attend to. I can just wait here for you.”

Shen Xiuqi looked deeply at her with eyes mixed swirling in unexplainable emotions before he turned around and walked out.

……..

……

At the reception room, An Yuting who had been waiting for a while finally saw Shen Xiuqi. She watched as his tall figure walked into the reception room and hurriedly stood up from her seat. An Yuting sweetly called, “Brother Xiuqi.”

The man turned to look at her. Compared to her enthusiasm, he was much more indifferent. He nodded his head at her and faintly said, “Sit.”

An Yuting sat down and stared at Shen Xiuqi unblinkingly. He was handsome and she liked him so much that her heart thumped uncontrollably just by looking at him.

“Why are you looking for me?” Shen Xiuqi sat on the seat across and asked faintly.

An Yuting purposefully spoke in a soft and pretentious tone, “Brother Xiuqi, I heard that Sheng Shi Entertainment invested in 《Flourishing Palace 》. I’ve read the original novel and I really like the second female lead. Can you give me that role?”

The female lead in this drama was Chen Yan, who won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress. Her role as the female lead was already set in stone, moreover, based on her popularity, status, and acting, she was much better than hers. So, she couldn’t just replace the female lead and thought it was more than enough to play the second female lead, which she had confidence in.

An Yuting believed that since Shen Xiuqi liked his sister the most and since she was her sister, with this relationship, he would definitely agree.

She begged, “Brother Xiuqi, it’s just a small role. You can just order them to give the role to me. Just give me the second female lead role, please! You said that you will take care of me as if I am your sister.”
