"Don't be angry. The crew is waiting for me. I'll get off now."
Huo Nanchen was just about to go in for a kiss when the car door opened, and a chill swept over him. Gu Ruochu had already gotten out of the car.
She waved her hand and bid him farewell.
Huo Nanchen placed his hand on the car window. His wedding ring shimmered faintly in the night. Gu Ruochu had a strong, seductive effect on him. She was like a little vixen who teased him without batting an eyelid.
Uncle Wang paused before switching seats with Huo Nanchen and quickly driving away.
"Ruochu!" Chu Xinlan jogged over when she saw that Huo Nanchen had left. "Have you packed your things? I thought that you had gone off on your own!"
Huo Nanchen had already sent her items to the production crew.
"I didn't go anywhere. I just had to pack a few things on my own.
"Let's go and wait for our flight. It's about time." Gu Ruochu glanced at her watch before she and Chu Xinlan walked towards Wang Gang.
Wang Gang was having a conversation with Jin Ye. He turned around and smiled at Gu Ruochu. "Have you packed your things?"
"Yes. Sorry to have kept you waiting."
"It's all right. There's still plenty of time."
The production crew quickly boarded the plane and flew off to Ning City.
It was already late at night when they arrived in Ning City. The crew took a bus from the airport that drove them to the hotel they had booked. They soon settled into their rooms and rested after a long flight.
Gu Ruochu could not fall asleep after her nap in the car. She tossed and turned on the bed a few times before deciding to take out her phone.
She poured her self a glass of red wine and sat up on the bed.
Gu Ruochu opened her Weibo account and found that many fans had tagged her online. They were all looking forward to the release of the movie she had directed.
This story was about three childhood sweethearts who had grown up together. The female lead, Su Ran, waited for the crown prince, Xie Cheng, to return from a great war. She wanted to marry the crown prince despite pressure from her parents to move on and find another suitor.
Su Ran held out hope for the crown prince's return even though she had no idea if he had perished in the war.
Gu Ruochu had been moved by the story ever since she had read the script. She had put in a lot of effort into filming it. In her past life, she had dreamt of winning an international award in the field of directing.
However, after her experience filming the ancient drama, she did not know if she would continue to pursue her dream. It would be difficult to pursue directing on a full-time basis, given how turbulent her new life had turned out to be.
After a restful night's sleep, the crew prepared to leave for a famous film and television attraction site in Ning City. As the male and female leads, Jin Ye and Lin Wanyi each got into a car and were accompanied by their respective teams. The other crew members also got into several large cars. The convoy of cars was an intimidating sight, and it attracted the attention of many of the city's dwellers.
"Ruochu, did you and Huo Nanchen have a fight?" Chu Xinlan asked after they had gotten into their car. "You don't have to fight with him over Yichen. Yichen doesn't want you to be in such an awkward position."
"There is always some sort of conflict between a husband and a wife. It's normal for them to fight occasionally." Gu Ruochu patted Chu Xinlan's shoulder comfortingly. "Everything is fine. Don't worry."
"You told me that the two of you would be holding another new wedding. You'll definitely be the most beautiful bride ever."
"We'll see once the time comes."
"You don't have to tell me. I'm already looking for a bridesmaid's dress."
Gu Ruochu could not help but laugh when she saw that Chu Xinlan was even more anxious than the actual bride.
The filming location was well-preserved and looked very beautiful. Gu Ruochu returned to the monitor after she had finished giving some instructions to the male and female lead.
"Action!"
Su Ran lay sickly in Xie Chieng's arms under some burning peach blossoms. The crown prince had finally returned, but her days were numbered.
