Wei Shuye pause on his spot, hearing the armoured helmet. "Okay. You may go." [Is she also there in the battlefield? I wonder where she is now...] He sigh and slumped his shoulder.
R Entertainment: Anna Tang's Office
"How's that fella doing?" Anna Tang asked at Jing Xupei's assistant, Rou Feng.
Rou Feng gave her a small smile reassuringly.
"Mr. Jing's doing great. In fact, he seems to be working three times harder than before. He worked until late just to master a single episode every day. But I'm worried about his eating habit. He barely eat."
Anna Tang frowned. "Alright. Just make sure he doesn't overwork. Tell him to at least eat three times a day if he doesn't, his salary will be deducted."
Rou Feng nodded and left. Although he was sure his boss is more older than Anna Tang. He felt that Anna is more bossy than his boss. [Manager Anna might turn the boss into a puppy if they got married.]
He was about to hail a cab to the filming location when he received a phone call from Jing Xupei. "Boss."
"Where are you?"
"I'm still at the company." Rou Feng answered honestly. "Then, inform this to Manager Tang..."
He nodded in understanding and went back to the company hurriedly.
"Manager, the actress who was suppose to act with Mr. Jing. She... She got into an accident." Anna Tang stood up from her seat in shock. "What?"
[This is bad. If this got cancel all of the sudden... All of that fella's effort will be in vain. Besides money isn't easy to get.] She took a deep breath and said without showing her emotion.
"Let's go to the filming location."
R Entertainment Filming Location
All of the staff went panicky while Jing Xupei stayed calm and casually drank on his juice.
[She's here.] He thought with closed eyes and gentle smile, nobody notice.
As he said, Rou Feng and Anna Tang entered the filming set. All of the staff stop on their track and went greet her. "Manager." Anna Tang nodded.
"Are you planning on cancelling the film?"
The director came forward and bowed. "I suppose it has to be cancelled. The actress who was suppose to be the leading got into an accident."
Anna Tang raise an eyebrow at him. "So?" She took off her coat and said.
"If the actress is late, sick or got into an accident. Find someone else. I'll volunteer." All of the staff are shock and the director tried convincing her. "M... Manager Tang. I think..."
"What?"
Anna Tang asked emotionless but her face went dark. "Are you underestimating my acting skills?"
The director freak out and immediately explain. "N... No! Its not that."
"Then let's get started." Anna Tang said cutting her off. Anna Tang herself graduated to one of the most prestigious school with a degree of acting. Who would have the nerve to turn her down?
Anna Tang ignored Jing Xupei and went directly towards the changing room to change. As a manager, all of Jing Xupei's script... She have to read them too. Including his schedule and who he date.
A while later
"I'm ready." Anna Tang came out wearing an ancient maid costume.
Jing Xupei turned around and was awestruck. He turn around and give a deadly stare at the men staring at her too.
The men was startle and started to whistle like nothing happened.
Even the director notice it and wonder.
[If Manager Tang's not cold towards the Movie King. I should've misunderstood them to be having a relationship in secret.]
A Hospital: Dean Office
"As you know, Keixin." Pei Shu said looking at Liang Keixin seriously. "There's have been a terrible earthquake happened in Russia. They needed a surgeon there. Are you volunteering?"
Liang Keixin nodded immediately. "You really agreed?! Do you know how dangerous it is?"
Pei Shu asked worriedly.
With determination written all over her face, she nodded. "I do. But where are talking of lives here, uncle. We can't just ignore it as Russia was considered as the biggest country. Many lives might still be in danger."
Pei Shu heaved a sigh defeatedly. "Alright." He slumped back at his seat and massage his temple.
"I can't blame you on having a bad temper with mixed of stubbornness."
V Company
"You're going to Russia later?" Wei Shuye asked. "Yeah." Came Liang Keixin's answer on the phone.
"Then why are you telling it to me?"
Liang Keixin almost loss her temper but manage to say. "Didn't you said we're mates now? Of course I should at least tell you."
"If you're out of blood... You can just go to my office, as I have some stock there. You're a vampire, so you can go to any rooms without keys right?"
This time, Wei Shuye's temper drop. With close eyes, he slowly explain. "I'm a vampire not a grim reaper."
"Oh..."
"Then just leave it to the guy from yesterday." Wei Shuye said in purpose. He wanted to know the guy's origin.
[Yesterday I was about 20 meters away when the time stop. The moment I appeared on the hospital's entrance, my watch started working but in minutes earlier.]
"Alright. Then I'm hanging up."
The moment he hang up, he began wondering. [Why do I fell like someone fit all of demon goddess' categories?]
Afternoon: Dean's Office
Pei Shu stretch his arm and was about to stood up when Wei Shuye appeared in front of him.
"I'm here for the keys."
Pei Shu groaned. "How can my niece ended up with you? I was about to go for lunch, aren't you starving?"
"Ah. Ain't hungry."
Pei Shu tsk at him. "Well it's different for us. We are like human too..."
He covered his mouth to stop himself from speaking. "So, my suspicion is true. You aren't human. Who are you? Why're you here?" Pei Shu narrowed his eyes.
"Although you are the crown prince. Isn't it a bit to much for you to meddle on my private life. I have my reasons."
Wei Shuye gave him a mischievous smile.
"Pei Shu, lord of goddesses. Demon Godess' relative. Has the power on rewinding time. Thousand years ago before the battle, you betrayed your kind and flee to the dragon tribe."
Pei Shu gasp in shock. "You're here for the demon goddess too right?" What he received as an answer is silence.
So he continued. "Since you have the power of rewinding. Why didn't you stop the battle from happening?" Pei Shu finally snap at it. "You don't get it. They're already dead when I arrive."
"You know that the battle was planned well. Instead of stopping the demon goddess from going into the fight... You flee instead to save your ass, isn't?"
"Well, I won't force you on answering."
He raise his hand and the key appeared on his palm. "Thanks for the key." Wei Shuye said with a harmless smile, but when he turn around the smile turned into a stone cold face.
He left Pei Shu there dumbfounded with a guilty expression on his face.
Pei Shu support both his head and look down, gritting his teeth to prevent himself from breaking down. Taking a deep breath, he close his eyes tight and held his breath.
[He was right... I was the coward one. I shouldn't have let that happened. Both of them wouldn't have ended up like this... I have to find her first... I have to... I have to help them both recover their memories.]
Time pass by and 3 months have passed.
Outside of X Mall
People look at the large poster outside and beamed.
On the poster. Anna Tang wearing a maid outfit with Jing Xupei wearing a royal outfit hugged her from behind. They both look at each other adoringly and smiling lovingly.
{Upcoming movie. "The king's first and last beloved."}
One of Jing Xupei's female die hard fan took a picture of it and beamed. "I didn't notice this before... But they look so good together. Hope the movie would have good ending. Like if you do."
She said while typing it and posted on weibo.
A Hospital: VIP Room 213
Leng Shishi, the cute princess of R Entertainment saw this post and went ballistic.
She threw her phone on the ground and yelled like a maniac.
"Ahh! I was suppose to be that! Anna. Tang. Wait and see how I deal with you." Leng Shishi said schemingly.
She look down at her wrapped legs annoyingly, but then it turn into a plotting smile. "Just wait and see." Leng Shishi said hoarsely almost like singing a hard song.
Pei Shu who passed by narrowed his eyes and shook his head, sighing.
"I knew a person considered as a cute princess hide something scheming." When he pass down the hospital's corridor, he fished out his phone and massage Jing Xupei.
Filming Set
Anna Tang heard Jing Xupei's phone chimed, out of curiosity, she peek into it.
(A person whose innocent may not seems to be what it looks. Anyways, beware. Take a good care of your pretty manager. Hoping on meeting her someday.)
She frowned suspiciously and acted normal when Jing Xupei came back.
"Shall we go?"
Jing Xupei suggested and they were about to leave when Leng Shishi came with a wheelchair.
"Brother Jing! Wait up."
Jing Xupei halted and turn to her direction. "Shishi. What are you doing here? You were suppose to be resting."
Leng Shishi pouted her lips acting like a spoiled child.
"I just wanted to watch brother Jing's drama with Ms Tang. Am I not welcome?" Jing Xupei remembered, she got into an accident and felt guilty.
"Alright. Then I'll push you."
Jing Xupei look at Anna Tang before went to push Leng Shishi. Anna Tang notice her scheming smile and roll her eyes.
[So that was what that guy's referring. Scheming indeed. Such a waste of a cute beauty.]
She went ahead with them and asked Jing Xupei with her harmless smile.
"Xupei. Can I push Ms Leng?" She asked looking at him expectantly. Jing Xupei blush and turn to face another direction avoiding her pleading face.
This was the first time, Anna called him by his name. How can he not be embarrassed?
"S- Sure. I'm sure Ms Leng didn't mind."
Leng Shishi gave them a charming smile and nodded but was boiling inside. [This woman must have done it on purpose.]
Anna Tang notice a rock near them and pretended on tripping over.
Before she could land on the sand, Jing Xupei caught her. [Shit!] She cursed on her mind. How can she be careless and actually injured her feet.
"Thank you."
She shake his hand and tried to walk but the moment her injured ankle landed on the sand, she flinch.
With a smirk, Jing Xupei carried her in a bridal style and turn to Leng Shishi apologetically. "I'm sorry Shishi. Please tell your assistant to push you around."
He pause and look at Anna Tang teasingly. "My naughty manager here needs my help." While saying that, he flick Anna Tang's nose gently. Leng Shishi watched their back disappearing and almost screamed.
She grip the wheelchair's handle tightly.
Anna Tang saw that and smirk. [Who uses wheelchair in the sand anyways? She can just use walking stick. Her acting skills' really bad... How come this fella fall for that?]
