Jing Zhen pulled out her thigh. Xu Yan's head dropped onto the bed with a thud through the quilt.
Xu Yan was startled awake. He reached out to hold Jing Zhen's thigh and slowly opened his eyes, looking dazed and innocent.
"Why did you wake me up? I still want to sleep."
After saying that, Xu Yan pulled Jing Zhen's thigh back and was about to rest his head on it again to go back to sleep.
"Enough!" Jing Zhen frowned, trying to look cold and heartless.
"Xu Yan, if you want to sleep, go home. Don't bother me in the ward!"
As soon as she said that, Jing Zhen immediately regretted it.
This must be the harshest thing she had ever said to Xu Yan.
But she really didn't want to drag Xu Yan down anymore.
Xu Yan's eyes dimmed. Jing Zhen hardly dared to look at him and lowered her head, pretending to be nonchalant.
"You'd better leave now. Don't disturb my rest."
"Jing Zhen, I know that bastard Sun is not good to you. If you're willing..."
Xu Yan knew that Jing Zhen was just saying angry words to make him leave.
His voice was very gentle as he coaxed Jing Zhen softly.
"I'm not willing."
But Jing Zhen didn't even want to wait for him to finish and coldly refused.
She threw Xu Yan's hopeful heart onto the ground again and stomped it hard.
A sneer and contempt appeared on Jing Zhen's face. "Mr. Xu, Song Fuqiang is my husband. I won't allow you to speak ill of him."
"Jing Zhen..." Xu Yan was like a stray dog abandoned on the roadside. His shiny eyes showed the pain he felt.
That look in his eyes made Jing Zhen feel like a sinner.
"Xu Yan, you should go." Jing Zhen went against her own will and asked him to leave again.
"I'm living happily with Song Fuqiang. The injury on my head wasn't caused by him. I fell and hurt myself!"
"You're lying!"
Xu Yan was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged. His Adam's apple bobbed as he tried hard to suppress his emotions.
"Yan Mo said you were beaten by him. Jing Zhen, can't you be more realistic? A man like him is not worth..."
"I love Song Fuqiang!" Jing Zhen looked up and stared firmly into Xu Yan's eyes.
To outsiders, it seemed like they were at odds with each other, but Jing Zhen just wanted to imprint Xu Yan's face in her heart one last time.
"His hitting me is just a little fun between husband and wife. Please stop making wild guesses."
Xu Yan's heart shattered into pieces. He took a long look at Jing Zhen, then turned around and left without saying a word.
Before leaving, Xu Yan was still worried that Jing Zhen might not be able to buy breakfast because of her injury.
He specifically ordered some food for her in the hospital, and it would be delivered to the ward on time.
Maybe there was really no hope for them.
Xu Yan completely gave up on this relationship. He didn't have the strength to hold on anymore.
After breakfast, Xu Qingqing took Xu Yiyi to the science museum.
This time, unlike last time when they were ignored, the staff had been waiting outside the science museum in advance. They led Xu Qingqing and Xu Yiyi to the shooting location.
Sure enough, Xu Qingqing saw Yan Mo in the shooting area. She kept her promise and was there for the shoot.
With the editor - in - chief present, even those who wanted to cause trouble had to think twice.
As soon as Xu Qingqing and Xu Yiyi walked upstairs, they saw Yan Mo pacing back and forth on the set. Her tone was very angry, and her expression was extremely serious.
The surrounding staff were all busy with their own work, trying not to make any noise for fear of getting into trouble.
"What on earth is going on? Sun Feifei was late last time, and now that we've specially arranged a shooting time for her, why is she still late!"
While on the phone, Yan Mo caught a glimpse of Xu Qingqing and Xu Yiyi coming and waved to them.
The person on the other end of the phone must have said something that made Yan Mo laugh out of anger.
"Manager Li, your Sun Feifei has had her period three times this month. Can you come up with a better excuse?"
Hearing Yan Mo's words, Xu Qingqing couldn't help but almost burst out laughing.
Having her period three times a month. Poor Sun Feifei.
Yan Mo's face turned serious again, and she issued an ultimatum.
"Half an hour! If she can't show up in the studio within half an hour, our cooperation is over!"
After saying that, Yan Mo hung up the phone. She rubbed her temples tiredly and led Xu Qingqing and Xu Yiyi to the dressing room.
"I've replaced the last makeup artist. I've found a more skilled one, and there's a surveillance camera installed in the dressing room."
Yan Mo opened the door of the dressing room and showed the 360 - degree surveillance camera in the corner.
"Xu Qingqing, you can rest assured now."
Xu Qingqing was very touched. "Thank you, Sister Yan Mo."
Yan Mo really took this matter to heart and seriously thought about her and Xu Yiyi.
"What are you thanking me for?" Yan Mo shook her head and adjusted the position of the dressing chair for Xu Yiyi.
"Let's wait a bit. Sun Feifei will probably take her time to come. She should arrive around the time you finish your makeup."
"Okay."
The makeup artist started to do Xu Yiyi's makeup. Yan Mo chatted with Xu Qingqing about gossips on one side.
"If it weren't for the person behind Sun Feifei, I really wouldn't want her to participate in the shoot. She's always late. It's really too much!"
Xu Qingqing patted Yan Mo on the shoulder to comfort her.
"Come on, there are hidden rules in every industry. You'll get used to it."
Moreover, this was the entertainment industry, where people were very snobbish.
What Xu Qingqing was most curious about was who could make Yan Mo, who had a family background, give in.
"Sister Yan Mo, who is the big shot behind Sun Feifei?"
Xu Qingqing asked curiously.
Yan Mo blinked her eyes but didn't answer.
Xu Qingqing thought she wanted to keep it a secret and waved her hand with a smile. "It's okay if you don't want to say. I'm just curious."
"It's my cousin..."
Yan Mo lowered her head. The tips of her high - heeled shoes touched each other, and her tone was bitter.
"I was afraid you'd laugh at me. The sponsor behind Sun Feifei is actually my cousin."
"My cousin is good - for - nothing. He's just a playboy who only thinks about picking up girls, drinking, and having fun all day long."
There was a lot of helplessness in Yan Mo's tone.
Xu Qingqing finally understood and thought that Yan Mo had it really hard.
"Forget it. Let's talk about something more pleasant." Yan Mo straightened up and cheered up.
"Do you want to go and visit Jing Zhen later?"
"Of course. I'm thinking whether I should buy flowers or a gift for Jing Zhen."
"Sister Jing Zhen was hurt so badly. I really want to punch Song Fuqiang myself!"
"I've had that thought too. We can find someone to beat him up after the divorce."
Yan Mo propped her hands on the table. There was a commotion outside the dressing room.
Yan Mo and Xu Qingqing walked out of the dressing room and saw a female artist wearing a white shirt and jeans, with a cap and big sunglasses on her face.
There were five or six burly men around the female artist. They all spread their arms to protect the woman in the middle and walked into the shooting area like stars surrounding the moon.
