Chapter 72 I Want To Date Her

Lo and behold, Ye Sijue handled the last scene superbly well. It went way beyond the director's expectations. When the camera zoomed in, Ye Sijue looked deeply into Mu Xia's eyes as if she was the goddess that he truly adored and loved. It was unbelievably real!

"Cut!" The director walked away from the monitor feeling smug. He clapped his hands and complimented the duo, "I'm so impressed with Ms. Mu's sensitivity toward the camera while you, Young Master Ye—your acting blew my mind away! You're so talented. It's such a waste that you're not considering to enter the show business…"

Ye Sijue found his comment ridiculous.

「What acting skills? All I did was accepted a cup of coffee, took a sip, and then stared at Xia in the eyes. There wasn't even a line uttered. Were there any skills required?」

Yet, he kept his thoughts to himself and listened to the director's praise. He merely asked, "Is that all to the shoot?"

The director nodded his head. "Yes, yes, it's a wrap! You guys are excellent. That one take was simply perfect!"

Upon hearing that, Ye Sijue creased his forehead disapprovingly.

「Aren't kissing scenes necessary in romantic dramas when the lead actor and actress became a couple? Why didn't I get a chance to even hold Xia's hand? Such a useless director!」

Looking glum, Ye Sijue ordered, "Pack up and leave immediately since the filming is over. Get ready for tomorrow's shoot."

The director hesitated. "The shoot tomorrow requires an office building as the location. Unfortunately, we haven't found a suitable one to date. Hence, we might see a delay in the schedule."

Ye Sijue was never bothered about petty operational matters. He simply murmured in acknowledgment and walked toward Jun Haoxuan. "Let's go! We're done here. Since there's nothing on my schedule today, let's call up Ranfeng for a meal together."

"I'll take a rain check…" Jun Haoxuan rejected. "You guys go ahead. I want to treat Ms. Mu to a meal."

Ye Sijue's face instantly turned solemn at his words. He felt somewhat irritated—the same uncontrollable feelings he had when he heard that Jun Haoxuan fell in love with Mu Xia at first sight.

He tried taking a deep breath to maintain his composure. "You can save it. From my limited understanding about her, she won't go out to a meal with you so easily."

Jun Haoxuan shrugged his shoulders. "I'll never know if I don't give it a shot."

He looked forward to asking her out.

In fact, he had been waiting for this moment for ages.

With his arms folded across his chest, Ye Sijue let out a skin-deep grin. "Well, good luck! I bet you won't succeed."

He thought he knew a fair bit about Mu Xia. Though she appears to be obedient and good-natured in front of Situ Hai, she's actually a sly fox that bites.

「For someone as shrewd as a fox, would she go out with a man whom she's just met for the first time?」

Ye Sijue was as confident with his assumption as he was with Mu Xia's personality.

Right then, Mu Xia walked out.

She had removed her make-up and put on a plain white t-shirt and a pair of faded jeans.

Typically, lighter colors were known to make people look plump. However, that was not the case for Mu Xia. The jeans actually accentuated her figure and her pair of long legs, in a way that made people gawk.

Jun Haoxuan strode toward her. "Ms. Mu."

Mu Xia had quite a good impression of Jun Haoxuan. She smiled at him and replied, "Young Master Qin, thank you for getting us this place as the filming set."

Jun Haoxuan shook his head. "Don't mention it. Ge Jue and I are like brothers, so this is nothing. By the way, are you free? I heard from your P.A. that this is your last shot of the day?"

"Yup, I'm going home, and have a good rest."

Jun Haoxuan checked his watch. "Since you're not rushing to go anywhere and it's already noon… May I have the pleasure of treating you to lunch?"

Ye Sijue stood nearby and eavesdropped.
