Chapter 2 - How Could You?

"How could you?"

Feng Mian's heart is still wailing from the accident in the studio. They cut the interview right after Ying Yue said 'that'. After that, they tried to make a joke out of it.

However, still, remembering the boss, he can only wipe the cold sweat off his forehead. No! No! Tomorrow, he has a date with a girl from the blind date and now apparently, he will be delayed because of a long lecture.

"How could you do this to me?" Feng Mian wails at her like an angry girlfriend who has been cheated by her boyfriend, while he drives the car towards her next schedule.

Ying Yue sighs and toss her phone away.

"I thought you want me to promote the drama."

He pulls the brake right away when he sees the red light. Feng Mian then turns and looks at Ying Yue with a confused expression.

"I play a character who dress up as a male to help the female lead."

She really is a woman with few words. Truthfully, Ying Yue just doesn't like complicated things. If she can simplify it, she will. That's why she never bother to explain much. Fortunately, Feng Mian has gotten used to her way of speaking. He is her exclusive translator.

Ying Yue's character does dress up as a male to continue tricking the male lead because the female lead, her friend, likes the male lead but too shy to talk to him. So, Ying Yue's character pretends to be a man and befriends the male lead, so that she can act as a middleman between them.

Thinking back again, they did make a joke using her character in the movie. Ying Yue even acted up in front of the camera while she flirted with one of the models.

Feng Mian blinks. And once again, he is KO'ed by Ying Yue.

"Feng Mian."

He looks up at Ying Yue again.

"How much time do I have left before the shoot?"

"Two and a half hours. But since the location is in the next city, we probably need one and a half hours to get there."

"So, I'll still have one hour when we arrive there?"

Feng Mian blinks before he nods. The red light has turned green, so he turns around and drives the car again. However, he doesn't know why but he suddenly has a bad premonition.

"Do you want to sleep first when we get there? Do you want me to book a hotel?" He asks with concern despite his obnoxious feeling. He is after all her manager first and foremost.

"No," she rejects his offer as she shakes her head, "I can sleep in the car."

Feng Mian knits his eyebrows. It's probably just a feeling, right? She won't run away. Oh no, she can't! Feng Mian won't let her. He'll guard her tight this time.

"Okay, you go sleep then. I'll wake you up when the shoot starts."

"No," Ying Yue quickly rejects him. "Wake me up as soon as we arrive."

"Why?"

"I've got a date."

Feng Mian almost step on the brake out of shock. This monster! He grits his teeth as he stares at her from the rear-view mirror.

"You've. got. a. date?" He stresses each words believing that he must have heard her wrong. To his dismay, he sees Ying Yue nods in the mirror. He tightens his clutch on the steering wheel. He has a feeling that the bad premonition is going to come true.

"Who?" He inquires.

"Hui Ying."

Two words and that's it. Feng Mian feels like smashing his head onto the steering wheel. He doesn't know whether to cry or laugh right now. As a man, his pride has been thoroughly hurt. How can this woman have so many girls chasing after her? It's not even a reverse-harem anymore. It's a girl's harem!

My Queen, please, there is no such thing, okay? It's either harem or reverse-harem. So stop catering those girls' wishes to go on a date with you. They are tricking you!

First they say that it's just a normal hang out between friends but then they ask Ying Yue to dress up as a boy. Another time, they say it's a training for their real date with their boyfriend later, so they ask Ying Yue to act as their boyfriend. Can't she see the pattern?! Even her ex-boyfriends noticed it and just couldn't take it anymore.

However, in the end, even if they couldn't take it and broke up with her, they soon regretted it and chased after her again. But, as usual, our queen would not be bothered with them anymore.

Feng Mian still remembers what she said when he asked her why she didn't want to, at least, be friends with them again.

She said, "They're trash for breaking a girl's heart."

With that, Feng Mian became speechless. My queen, you didn't even cry when they asked for breakup. You neither asked why, begged them to stay, nor asked for a second chance. Nothing. You just straight out agreed, turned around, and left. So, which girl's heart was broken?

Feng Mian sighs. "That Hui Ying is the model you flirted during the interview, right? The one wearing channel dress?"

Ying Yue nods in the mirror.

He knows he's going to regret asking this, but he still fires away, "Why did she want to go on a date with you?"

Ying Yue raises an eyebrow. "Why not?"

Feng Mian facepalmed. My queen, I understand what you mean. Why not? First on top 10 most handsome guys and second on top 10 most wanted husband, is there any other explanation?

He feels like crying but lack tears to do so. "Seriously, why?" He probes her further.

"Training."

Feng Mian lets out a heavy sigh. 'I knew it!'
