Ning Tangxi's heart pounded.
Just as she was in her daze, a blinding headlight flashed in front of her eyes. Ning Tangxi screamed in horror, "Nanchen, there's a car coming..."
All of a sudden, the sound of screeching brakes and a loud crash disrupted the silent night.
"..."
When Gu Ruochu woke up the next day, she felt very uneasy. However, she could not understand why she was feeling so anxious.
Huo Nanchen had not returned the previous night, and Gu Ruochu would not see him for a week.
Every time Gu Ruochu woke up, Huo Nanchen would not be at home. He only returned when Gu Ruochu had fallen asleep.
He was so busy that he did not have time to pick her up from the set. Gu Ruochu tried her best not to overthink the situation. In the end, she still wanted to give their relationship a chance.
To keep her mind off Huo Nanchen, she concentrated on shooting An Shaosi's movie and running her company's affairs.
"Ruochu, do you want to take a break during the intermission?"
After they had shot a few scenes consecutively, Gu Ruochu's assistant quickly handed her some water.
"All right. I'll go to the washroom." Gu Ruochu put down her script and walked out.
Gu Ruochu's assistant watched as she left before walking over to Chu Xinlan. She waited for Chu Xinlan to put away her camera before whispering, "Xinlan, did Ruochu and President Huo get into some sort of conflict? Why do I hear that they are having some relationship problems?"
Chu Xinlan was stunned, and she immediately rebuked the assistant. "Where did you hear such a rumor? How could an outsider know anything about their relationship? Don't let Ruochu hear about it, or you'll have to bear the consequences!"
The assistant was scared out of her wits. However, she gathered herself and retorted, "Xinlan, I'm not talking nonsense. I'm just worried about our director! I have a friend who works in the media. He told me that Ning Tangxi and President Huo had an accident in the middle of the night. Isn't it obvious that they were up to no good?
"That's why I want to know if Ruochu is planning to divorce President Huo. That's why he..."
The assistant did not notice Chu Xinlan's winking expression. When Chu Xinlan saw that she had not noticed her signal, she pinched her, and the assistant let out a muffled scream.
"Ruochu, did you just come out of the bathroom?" Chu Xinlan noticed that Gu Ruochu's expression was very calm, and she was not sure if she had heard her assistant's gossip. Chu Xinlan felt a little regretful that she had not stopped Gu Ruochu's assistant from running her mouth.
"Yes."
Gu Ruochu did not change her behavior. She only glanced at her watch and said, "It's almost time. Let's hurry up and finish shooting the next few scenes before the actors get tired."
Her assistant was embarrassed, and she quickly replied, "All right. I'll get ready right away."
Gu Ruochu watched the actors getting ready for the scene and clasped her palms.
She knew that Huo Nanchen would suppress the news about his quest for Yue Cheng. However, the rumors were not something that he could control. At that moment, all kind of gossip was spreading.
"What's going on? Is the director going to break up with President Huo? Ning Tangxi could take her place. That doesn't fit President Huo's style, does it?"
"Hmph! I don't doubt it. Do you think these are just rumors? It's not groundless gossip. I heard that President Huo is now in the hospital taking care of Ning Tangxi. Think about it. Isn't the director always on her own when she comes to work? I've heard that President Huo has loved Ning Tangxi for many years. I didn't believe it before, but now, I completely believe it. She must have left a mark on President Huo's heart, and he doesn't want to let her go."
