Chapter 682: Something Feels Off

“You’re welcome. Hurry up and eat, the ice will melt soon. I have to send it to others, I’ll get going first.”

With that, the assistant walked towards the others with the bags.

It felt so good to drink a bowl of cold green bean soup in summer.

Qiao Mianmian saw that the rest of them had a share as well and didn’t buy it for her alone, so she opened the box and started eating.

As she ate happily, she didn’t see a black Bentley parked under a tree not too far away.

The car window was lowered halfway.

The man sitting in the car had a handsome face and a cold aura. His deep and cold eyes landed on the man walking towards Qiao Mianmian. His eyes darkened, and he exuded a threatening aura.

He took out his cell phone and made a call.

“Is it good?”

Qiao Mianmian was enjoying her food when she heard a voice above her.

It was a clear and pleasant voice.

She looked up and nodded with a smile. “Mm, it’s delicious. Mr. Tu, thank you for the green bean soup.”

“You’re welcome.”

Tu Yilei looked at the bright smile on her lips and was in a daze for a few seconds before recovering.

“Today is the first day of filming, how do you feel?”

“Not bad.” Qiao Mianmian scooped a spoonful of mung bean into her mouth and seemed to be in a good mood. “I learned a lot today, it’s pretty good.”

“Mm?” This answer surprised Tu Yilei.

Even a fool could tell that Huang Yilin was doing it on purpose.

“You’re not angry?” Tu Yilei looked down at her, his gaze landing on her red lips. After a few seconds, his heart started racing.

“Angry? Why should I be angry?”

“Because...”

Tu Yilei was about to say something when a crew member walked over.

“Miss Qiao, Director Bai is looking for you. Please come with me.”

“Director Bai? Is something the matter?” Qiao Mianmian looked around and saw that Bai Yusheng was no longer on the set.

“Yes.” The employee added, “Director Bai is still waiting for you. Miss Qiao, let’s go.”

“Alright, then.”

Qiao Mianmian drank the last mouthful of green bean soup and got up. “Mr. Tu, I have something on. I’ll take my leave first.

“I’ll treat you to some green bean soup someday.”

With that, she left with the crew.

Tu Yilei stood rooted to the ground as he watched her and the employee walk further and further away. A hint of hesitation and conflict flashed past his eyes. In the end, he slowly walked back.

If Bai Yusheng really liked her.

Could he... win?

What would happen if he snatched Bai Yusheng’s woman?

He didn’t have such a prominent family background.

It wasn’t easy for him to get to where he was today.

It was all because of his hard work.

Sometimes, he had to consider the consequences if he wanted to be wilful.

He liked Qiao Mianmian.

But if he had to trade his future career for her, he... couldn’t afford it.

***

Qiao Mianmian followed the crew member to an indoor rest area.

A crew member left the lounge, telling her that Bai Yusheng was inside.

Qiao Mianmian stood outside the door for a while, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

Something felt off.

This place... seemed a little secretive.

What did Bai Yusheng want to talk to her about? Why would he pick such a place?

She stood outside for a while and hesitated for a full minute before knocking on the door.

The door opened.
