Chapter 19 - Why are you so docile? (2)
Mu XiYuan raised his brows a little then squinted his eyes.
He was studying her.
Under the dim light, her silky sleepwear clung nicely to her body, accentuating her curviness and the fact that she was an extraordinarily stunning woman.
What’s even more extraordinary was that she has become much more sincere as of late.
As though she was a whole different person.
Xu WanZhi knew that she had passed the test this time before she lowered her head to have the first bite of her coconut. She changed the subject smoothly, “How are you so skillful with the knife?”
Mu ZhenYu smiled and said in passing, “It’s better that you don’t know.”
Xu WanZhi kept her head lowered. She recalled the scary-looking scars on his back and the direction that Huanyu Corp. was going.
Crime prevention and crime prediction…
“I thought you could crack open coconuts with your bare hands?” Mu ZhenYu pried in a teasing manner before he lifted his head and took a few big gulps of his wine. His Adam’s apple moved up and down sexily.
Sitting across from him, Xu WanZhi gave him a dose of his own medicine. “It’s better that you don’t know.”
Mu ZhenYu’s lips curved as he chuckled – whether it was opening up the coconut or carrying the suitcases, she was quite good at pretending to be weak in front of him.
Oddly, that didn’t bother him. In fact, he kind of liked it.
He put a slice of the filet mignon in his mouth and said, “Hmm, this is pretty good.”

Before she went to bed, Xu WanZhi looked at Wechat one more time.
It was quiet on Blossom’s official site. Between her water army and the production crew’s marketing team, there was not a lot of drama.
It was a whole different story under Chang XiaoYa and Xu WanZhi’s WeChats. As Xu WanZhi had joined Blossom’s production crew and was going in and out of the same studio as Jiang YueXian, once her black fans had gotten hold of that news, they started bashing her again about her finding out the film emperor’s agenda ahead of time and purposefully getting close to him, etc. etc. She was once again the Queen of Negative Publicity.
Chang XiaoYa, on the other hand, was classified by the film emperor’s fans as “friendly” and gained popularity and a bunch of fans from that.
Xu WanZhi couldn’t be bothered to clarify anything and just went to sleep.

The startup ceremony came and went uneventfully, and Blossom’s filming began officially. With the exception of the male lead, who was still wrapping up with another crew, all the other actors and actresses had arrived.
On the second day of filming, Xu WanZhi got up early as usual, had her breakfast, and went downstairs. She saw Mu ZhenYu standing there next to her car on a call.
She yawned and walked over there. Xiao Yuan walked up to her and said, “Mr. Mu said he’d like a ride.”
Xu WanZhi didn’t say anything until Mu ZhenYu was off his call before she asked him, “What happened to your work car? You still had it when we moved.”
Mu ZhenYu said casually, “I borrowed that one. I returned it.”
Once he was done saying that, he got into the backseat of her van very naturally. He even patted the seat next to him and said, “Don’t worry. We will get you to your filming location first before I go do my things. You’ll definitely have your car back before noon.”
Xu WanZhi took a look at her wristwatch and climbed inside the car.
Foxes are nocturnal animals. She has taken the human form for a while now. She was used to going to bed at night, but she’d still feel sleepy during the daytime. As the car rocked back and forth, she fell asleep again.
