Since the filming of the first encounter that day, her scenes had decreased visibly. Occasionally, she would appear to listen in on others on various occasions. Right after, she would tactfully pass on what she'd heard to His Highness, or drink with him under the moon. She would play the pipa, while His Highness would play the flute to harmonize.
As the Prince had to focus on his career and was being picked on, Chu Jiang was busy most of the time.
It was common for scenes to be filmed from early in the morning to late at night. Moreover, because it was a production crew where excellent actors and actresses gathered, everyone had extremely high standards for the quality of the scenes. Without the need for the director to call for a reshoot of unsatisfactory takes, the actors would take the initiative to do it themselves. Except that one time, when an actor didn't, the director's scolding completely drowned out the actor's timid apologies.
Bai Yun was not interested in this kind of drama. After all, failure to act well was a sin. No one could empathize, especially not in such a high-quality production team. If the actor was not prepared for this, they should not have joined the production team.
Her scenes went smoothly, and she enjoyed the sparks from acting opposite various veteran actors. Of course, her favorite was still her scenes with Chu Jiang. The emotional scenes were smooth, and she put a lot of emotion into them.
Bai Yun thought that if this drama didn't explode in popularity, what drama would?
However, that gaze was like a blade on her back. At first, she dismissed it as an illusion, but she gradually realized that it was not. No matter where she was, as long as she interacted with Chu Jiang or Liao Qing, that gaze would stab over.
Like a sinister snake, it stuck out its tongue and neck, but simply refused to bite.
Because of this gaze, Bai Yun was a little frustrated. Frowning, she decided to find this person.
After discussing with Du Qing, she decided to start implementing the plan.
Bai Yun brought Du Qing around the various filming sets and started chatting with her.
Du Qing: "Sister Yun, why do you think Best Actor Chu asked you to meet him in the dressing room?"
Bai Yun nonchalantly blew on her manicure. "Maybe it's to discuss the script."
They walked all over the filming site repeating just these two lines, causing some people to look at them like they were fools.
Bai Yun was thick-skinned. As long as her goal was achieved, she didn't have a problem with it. Although her method was relatively stupid, she did not believe that the fish would not take the bait.
Bai Yun walked around. After clearly sensing that gaze, she walked into the dressing room with the script and even had a bright smile on her face.
She left the dressing room door ajar and ducked into the changing room.
Ten minutes later, as she waited with bated breath, a figure entered the dressing room.
Squinting, Bai Yun saw that the figure was very slim and not tall. She guessed it was a woman.
As she turned to face the dressing table, Bai Yun took the opportunity to close the door at lightning speed. She dragged a stool and sat down, then crossed her legs and looked at the woman who was frozen in place. "You're the one who's been secretly observing me, right? Why so sneaky?"
Seeing that the woman did not speak, Bai Yun got a little impatient. "You've been staring at me because of Chu Jiang, right? There's nothing between me and Chu Jiang…"
At this moment, the woman finally turned around. At long last, Bai Yun saw her face clearly. She was the pure-looking woman who had warned her after the first scene that day.
She glared at Bai Yun fiercely. "Others may be deceived by your lies, but not me. You were married to Chu Jiang."
The certainty of her tone made Bai Yun feel like she was facing a great enemy. No one in the industry knew about her marriage with Chu Jiang, except for Chu Jiang's assistant.
However, Chu Jiang's assistant had been by his side for many years right from the beginning until now. There was no doubt about his loyalty.
Bai Yun's brows furrowed. "Where did you hear this nonsensical rumor? Chu Jiang and I…" She pointed at herself with her slender finger. "Please, we're people from two different worlds."
The woman stopped talking and stared at her silently. Bai Yun felt her hair stand on end. "No, I really have nothing to do with Chu Jiang."
The woman took a few steps forward and looked at Bai Yun with extreme pity. "Yes, there's indeed nothing between you two now. You're already divorced."
Her words were filled with disdain. "So what dirty trick did you use to snatch this supporting role? This clearly doesn't belong to you."
Bai Yun leaned against the door and stood up. This woman was totally spying on her life. There were many things that even Du Qing, who was by her side day and night, did not know.
At first, she had thought that this woman was just Chu Jiang's hardcore fan, but from her tone, it was as if she had seen everything from the start.
A thought flashed through Bai Yun's mind. She asked calmly, "Are you Lin Xia?"
