"My Chen Chen sure is cool..."
"Chen Ge, I believe in you!"
"Are you kidding me? My Chen has never spoken so much in the entire span of his career! So, of course I believe him!"
"I'm glad he's withdrawing. The set is so dangerous. What would happen if he got hurt again?"
"Bei Chendong would never slander someone for no reason; he couldn't be bothered to do such a thing...haha. So, I believe Chen; I believe the crew tried to avoid responsibility by throwing the blame on an innocent woman. How disgusting!"
After his press conference, Bei Chendong immediately left the scene, dragging Han Xiner behind.
Han Xiner followed behind him and dutifully blocked the media.
Seeing Han Xiner's seriousness as an assistant, Bei Chendong realized he had been missing a helper like this all along. Perhaps he could directly ask Tangning for Han Xiner and not just use her temporarily?
"Dong Ge... Hurry and get in the car."
Bei Chendong glanced at Han Xiner and noticed she was trapped within the crowd. Suddenly, he reached out his hand and pulled her into the car with him and disappeared from the sight of the media. After leaving the scene, he scolded her, "You're supposed to help me stop the media, not become a human barrier."
"I don't have much experience..." Han Xiner ran her fingers through her hair awkwardly. After seeing Bei Chendong's expression change, she changed the subject, "Is your hand OK?"
"It's fine," Bei Chendong replied before looking out the window.
Han Xiner thought he didn't want to talk to her. So, after a few moments of silence, she finally said, "Where are we going now?"
"Since I don't need to film, I'm obviously going home."
Bei Chendong was actually wondering how he was to trick Han Xiner into his home without her knowing.
On top of that, what excuse could he use to negotiate with Mo Ting for Han Xiner to stay?
Because Bei Chendong's whereabouts had always been a mystery, not many people knew where he lived. Even though Han Xiner was quite switched on, even she did not take notice of how many turns and how many estates they passed through. As they reached the seaside, Han Xiner finally had a thought: could it be possible that Bei Chendong lived on a private island?
"Dong Ge...I guess I won't be going with you. After all, I'm sure you have plenty of staff at home to take care of you..."
"There's no one, I live there alone," Bei Chendong replied before he quickly added, "Plus, with one arm, I can't possibly take care of myself."
Han Xiner was a little surprised before she responded with a simple, "Oh." But, she didn't know why she suddenly felt like she was being kidnapped. Was she about to go to a deserted island?
Bei Chendong did indeed live on a private island. But, he wasn't completely secluded from the world, because right across the water was the most beautiful night view of Beijing.
After stepping foot on the island, Han Xiner was completely stunned. Bei Chendong did not like the typical enclosed manor, so his home was made mostly from glass...
"Help yourself. I need to go make a phone call."
After opening the door with his fingerprint, Bei Chendong headed straight for his bedroom and left Han Xiner in the living room.
He couldn't wait to negotiate with Mo Ting on a way to keep Han Xiner by his side and not let her go.
Mo Ting picked up his phone on the way home from the cocktail party. After hearing Bei Chendong's intention, he replied, "There is definitely a way..."
"Just tell me what I need to do."
"You said it..." Mo Ting's lips curved upwards. "I want you to participate in a new film I just invested in. As like before, you will be working alongside Tangning. But...you will do it for free."
