CHAPTER. 38 Confession

Confession

Su Shen's expression changed and stood there in a daze, wondering if she had offended him?

"You… don't like kissing scenes, right?" She suddenly became a little reserved.

Xie Yan looked up, "Yes, I don't like filming kiss scenes."

Su Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

"But, it depends on the person."

All of a sudden, he stood up and was in front of Su Shen in two steps. The latter was so intimidated that she fell down onto the sofa.

The latter leaned over and placed one hand on the sofa, "Others are others, you are you."

When their eyes met, Su Shen was so scared that she leaned against the sofa all tensed, forgetting to even blink.

"Do you think I'm very easy-going?" He said in a low voice and fixed his eyes on her.

He was too close to her, and Su Shen didn't like this position, so she pushed his shoulders, "Don't be like this. If you don't want to go say it, then I'll go say it myself."

Seeing that she was still pretending to not know anything, Xie Yan narrowed his eyes and suddenly sealed her pink lips with his; the latter's eyes immediately widened.

At this time, she hadn't applied any lipstick yet, but it was still sweet. As if it was an addiction, Xie Yan subconsciously held the back of her head with one hand and seemed to have lost control of himself.

"Mhm… Xie… Xie Yan…" Su Shen was about to cry, and she kept pushing him.

Noticing the hand that had been beating his shoulder, Xie Yan suppressed himself and released her, but his dark eyes were still fixed on the person in front of him.

Su Shen looked terrified and her bright red lips slightly parted, as if she had been frightened by something.

She didn't believe how Xie Yan could do this to her.

"Do you understand?" His voice was slightly hoarse.

Being stared at by him, she felt a little flustered. Although Su Shen had been avoiding his sight, her heartbeat was beating so fast that it was hard for her to ignore it.

"I… I… I'm still young…" She seemed to have wanted to say something.

"You're saying I'm old?" He frowned and his eyes darkened when his glance swept past her bright red lips.

The two of them were so close that Su Shen couldn't even move her head, but she really didn't know how to deal with this kind of relationship between a man and a woman.

"I didn't mean that. It's just… just that I want to focus on my career first."

Her soft voice had no confidence, and her pair of round eyes looked everywhere but not at him. Xie Yan felt it was funny. Did she think being with him would hinder her career?

"Your career and us being together has no conflict." Speaking of this, he leaned in and whispered into her ear, "You didn't outright reject me, does that mean… you don't actually dislike me?"

His hot breath puffed onto her ear. Su Shen's entire body froze, and her hands by her side clenched into fists. Her eyes looked everywhere, but she didn't dare to look straight at him.

With regard to Xie Yan, Su Shen felt very perplexed. She didn't know what kind of feeling it was, but she always subconsciously believed in him. Hence, she immediately thought that she should go find him when the kiss scene came up and that he would definitely not refuse her. However, she didn't expect…

"I… I really don't want to be in a relationship right now." Su Shen looked down to hide the perplexity in her eyes.

"Are you worried that I will hinder your career?" Xie Yan held the back of her head and stroked her soft hair from time to time, "I promise you that if I implicate your career, you can dump me at any time."

Su Shen looked up and seeing how earnest he was, with his eyes full of her reflection, she couldn't help but frown for a moment, "There's no such thing as trying or not trying in love."

A woman did not serve two husbands. Although times have changed, Su Shen still did not want to switch from one boyfriend to another so casually.

After hesitating for a while, she frowned and said rather seriously, "Okay, but you have to promise me three conditions."

As her words fell, the look in Xie Yan's eyes changed. Let alone three conditions…

"Go ahead." His gaze fervent.

Blinking, she said seriously, "First, you are not allowed to reveal our relationship to anyone, not even Zhao Tong!"

Xie Yan: "..."

"I won't tell anyone." His expression remained unchanged.

Seeing this, Su Shen looked at him seriously and said, "You can't be too close to me in public. Even if we're acting, you have to be courteous."

Xie Yan: "..."

"Okay!"

"Thirdly," Su Shen frowned and her face blushed, "I… I refuse to do that… before marriage."

Nowadays, people were so open. Not to mention the entertainment industry, even among ordinary people, it was very common for that kind of thing to happen between boyfriend and girlfriend. But she didn't want to be like that. Although she might be influenced by her previous life, she still didn't want to entrust herself so easily to someone.

Hearing this, Xie Yan's brow twiched. After a while, he just smiled, "I'm not that kind of person."

Seeing that he had agreed, Su Shen pushed him on the shoulder again and said, "Then, let me go."

Xie Yan looked down and his eyes darkened. He suddenly leaned in and whispered into her ear, "Should we go over the kiss scene later?"

Su Shen's expression changed and an outline in front of her suddenly enlarged before she could even react.

"Mhm…" Su Shen blushed and wanted to push him away, but someone grasped her wrist. She closed her eyes and waited for him to finish it quickly.

Sensing that she relaxed, Xie Yan bit her lower lip even more unbridled. He then pried her lips open and finally stopped after getting a taste of her.

Afraid of scaring her, he finally loosened his grip on her. Su Shen was almost out of breath. Facing his sudden behavior, she couldn't help but denounce him, "You… you can't…"

"I can't control myself sometimes." He buried his head in the pit of her neck and took a deep breath, "But I will try my best to control myself with this kind of behavior."

Su Shen: "..."

After being held by him for a while, Su Shen finally couldn't help but push his shoulder, "I'm leaving."

Xie Yan frowned and buried himself in the pit of her neck unhappily, "We're going over the script, others won't think too much of it."

Su Shen: "..."

Do you really think everyone else were idiots?

"I really need to leave, I still haven't gotten my makeup done." She said earnestly.

Hearing this, the man on top of her finally moved, but there was gloom written all over his face.

"Remember to tell the Director to delete that kiss scene."

With that, Su Shen took her script and left the dressing room, disregarding what the person behind her thought.

In fact, Su Shen felt the difference between being with Xie Yan and Jiang Yin. When they were filming before, Jiang Yin would hug her because of the plot, but Su Shen felt a little uncomfortable with this kind of close contact. However, she did not resist Xie Yan nearing her. She had never been in love, so she did not know what kind of feeling that was, but Xie Yan was really good to her.

When she returned to her dressing room, Xiao Zhou was in the midst of eating chips. Seeing her back, she immediately got up and handed her phone to her, "Liu jie called just now."

Hearing this, Su Shen took her phone and sat in front of the vanity. There was a message from Liu jie, which said that the movie would hold a press conference in eight days and that she would come pick her up at that time.

Thinking that she might have had a lot of scenes edited out, Su Shen's mood was nowhere better. She had put a lot of effort into that movie, but it turned out that so many of her scenes would be deleted.

After changing her clothes and putting on makeup, it was almost time to start filming the afternoon scenes. When Su Shen went out, she saw Xie Yan and the Director talking over there and walked over with her script.

Seeing her coming, the Director said with a smile, "If we use positioning, then we would have to draw out the longshot and cut from the right side. You guys would have to adjust the angles."

Hearing this, Su Shen nodded earnestly. She didn't like to film this kind of scene in front of so many people. It was better if positioning was used if possible.

"Xie laoshi, can you lower your head a little bit down later? My shoes are not so high this time." She looked at Xie Yan with dead earnesty.

Xie Yan: "..."

Xie laoshi?

Zhao Tong, on the side, swept a peculiar glance at the two of them. He didn't seem to understand why they were so suddenly courteous?

"Okay." Xie Yan said politely.

Noticing how estranged the two of them were, the Director was baffled. Their relationship was clearly pretty good before, how did it become like this now?

When they were filming, everyone was puzzled when they found out they were using positioning. It was obvious that their Film Emperor treated Su Shen pretty well before, why was it that they were using positioning now?

Filming went pretty smooth in the afternoon. Ignoring the strange gazes of the rest of the crew, Su Shen changed her clothes and prepared to go back to the hotel.

Liu jie had arranged a chauffeur and a car for her, and they would arrive at the hotel in about five or six minutes. It was great that there were no night scenes today. For the following few days, there might be night scenes, and she wouldn't be able to be back so early.

When she was waiting for the elevator, she met Luo Han. Su Shen greeted him with a smile.

"You've changed a lot." Luo Han looked at her and smiled.

Knowing that he was referring to her character, Su Shen just smiled when she heard that, "People always change. I was not sensible before, but now I'm sensible."

Hearing this, Luo Han just laughed and didn't say anything. When the elevator arrived, the two of them walked in together.

When she returned to her room, Su Shen received a message from Xie Yan saying that he wanted to go out for dinner, but she didn't agree. There were so many paparazzi outside; she didn't want to spend another million to buy photos.

For the next few days, Su Shen didn't get too close to Xie Yan. After all, Zhao Tong was there. When Liu jie came to pick her up for the press conference, she even brought along a dress for her.

Although a lead actor asked for leave, some supporting roles could be shot first. When they sat in the car, Su Shen felt her shoulder cold when she saw the white one-shoulder knee length dress on top of her.

"Why do you always choose a one-shoulder dress for me?" She looked at Liu jie, who was at the front, confusedly.

The latter said without turning around, "You have good-looking shoulders. You must show your strong points, unless you want to show your shortcomings?"

Hearing this, Su Shen pursed her lips and said nothing.

"I accepted the company's crime drama for you, but it will start filming in December. The location's in Zhejiang. To avoid overlap in filming, I discussed it with your Director and decided to film all your scenes in one go, to try to finish filming your scenes of this drama before December." Liu jie said sitting in the front.

Hearing this, Su Shen didn't object, but she couldn't go back to accompany her parents over Chinese New Year again.

"My… a lot of my scenes really got cut from the movie?" She couldn't help but ask.

At that, Liu jie kept silent for a while before saying solemnly, "I'm not sure since I haven't seen the finished movie, but from what I've heard, they edited out a lot of your scenes."

Su Shen didn't say anything. She closed her eyes and leaned against the seat. The entertainment industry was that the strong prey upon the weak.

When the car stopped in front of the entrance of the press conference, there were already many media's cars parked outside. Xie Yan's car seemed to be right behind, but Su Shen went into the hotel first without waiting for him.

The temporary lounges were for two people per room. Su Shen saw Fan Meng again. This time, she was wearing a deep v evening gown. She had a large chest, and there was basically no gap in the middle. It seemed that she wanted to be the subject of the talk with this.

For two actresses to be in the same frame, they would inevitably be compared to one another. No one wanted to be robbed of their limelight. Fan Meng's move was already the norm in the entertainment industry.

"You're a different story now since being with Xie Yan. You even know how to drag him to help you. I even thought your next production would be the female lead of a big screen!" Leaning against the sofa, Fan Meng played with her phone. Her words were so enigmatic that her assistant pretended not to hear them.

Su Shen went over and sat down, ignoring her. On the contrary, Xiao Zhou looked a little unhappy, as if she was indignant for her.

Seeing that she kept silent, Fan Meng felt vapid. When her assistant said that it was time and the reporters outside were already waiting for her, Fan Meng then walked out lifting the hem of her gown.

As soon as she left, Xiao Zhou roasted her resentfully, "Look at her chest, it must be filled with silicone!"

Hearing this, Su Shen just glanced at her, "Whether she filled it or not, it's her business. Just treat her as if she didn't exist if she says anything else in the future."

It was not good for Su Shen to tear her face down right now, and the battle of words would always be a meaningless act.

"Oh." Xiao Zhou pursed her lips as she heard that. She looked outside as if something came to mind, "I'll go and see if the press conference is ready."

Su Shen nodded slightly and asked her to check if Wang Cheng, Li Hao, and the others had arrived yet. Hearing this, Xiao Zhou then walked out of the lounge with her phone, while the former continued to scroll through the comments on her phone.

The press conference was also broadcasted live. At this time, the comments below the live broadcast practically exploded because there would be another long trailer released today. These people were waiting for the kiss scene, but Su Shen did not know if that kiss scene had been cut or not.

When she heard the sound of the door opening, she looked up, only to find that it was Xie Yan.

"Why are you here?" She frowned slightly.

Today, Xie Yan changed into a formal suit, making his 190 cm build even taller. Moreover, he also had his hair done and was more attentive to his appearance than before. But when he saw Su Shen's one-shoulder gown, he frowned slightly and stared straight at her exposed shoulder.

"Why are you wearing so little?" He walked over and sat beside her; he was clearly unhappy when he saw her exposed skin.

Today, Su Shen just had light makeup on. In order to cover her shoulder, she had specially let down her hair, but it was inevitable that some of her skin would be exposed.

"This was picked by Liu jie." Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something and sat up straight, "Why are you here?"

Seeing her be overly cautious again, Xie Yan frowned and couldn't help but wrap his arm around her slender waist, burying his head into her fair and tender neck. He took a deep breath, "Why does it seem like I'm a thief?"
