Chapter 108 -108: The Noble Lady and the Dog Fight for Food
Everyone was still reeling from the shock of Xia Weibao catching Lu Huashan’s slap when they were swept back into the drama of the scene.
That’s the power of a movie queen!
She could slip into character at any time!
Even when someone tried to hit her, she could still stay in the role!
Xu Jiayang slapped his thigh. Damn it, with Xia Weibao’s acting skills, if “Allure” didn’t become a hit, he would join that idiot Leng Yan in running around the Imperial City with his pants down!
Lu Huashan was still not giving up and tried to withdraw her hand to slap Xia Weibao.
...
Then, she found herself firmly restrained.
“Sister, do you really think I want to steal your man?”
The light words spilled from Xia Weibao’s lips, like a wisp of smoke, bringing heartache to those who smelled it and tears to those who heard it.
Lu Huashan was intimidated by her sorrowful eyes and even forgot to say her lines.
“Cut!”
Xu Jiayang abruptly stood up, “Huashan, what are you daydreaming about? Don’t bring your personal emotions into filming. That’s the most basic discipline of an actor!
Take a break and we’ll continue with the scene from just now after lunch.”
Xu Jiayang felt some frustration, like iron not turning into steel. Such a perfect moment, ruined by Huashan.
Fortunately, the first half of the scene was usable. They could just cut and edit later.
He walked over to Lu Huashan, “Adjust your emotions properly.”
He was still very satisfied with Huashan. Hardworking, ambitious, and talented. She didn’t have beauty or background, yet she made a place for herself in the entertainment industry—such people were rare nowadays.
He hadn’t expected this kind of situation today.
It was truly disappointing.
Lu Huashan was being rebuked for the first time, her face flushed with red.
Li Yi quickly came over to comfort her.
Xia Weibao took a long look at Lu Huashan, feeling that her features seemed vaguely familiar.
“Master.”
Just then, Xiang Chu popped up from nowhere with two big bags in his hands, flashing a goofy smile at Xia Weibao.
“Why are you here?”
Xia Weibao was somewhat surprised. Just as someone handed her a boxed lunch, she sat down to eat it.
“Master, I said I would visit the set, and you actually forgot.”
There was a bit of melancholy in his voice.
Xia Weibao felt as if she were looking at her Imperial Harem.
In those days, if her Beloved Concubines didn’t see her for too long, they also acted coquettishly like this.
“Your Majesty, you haven’t visited your concubine in so long~”
Alas, the past was not worth recalling.
“Master, what are you eating? Look, I brought you something delicious.”
Xiang Chu said, eagerly taking out the food containers.
His master, with her otherworldly aura, how could she eat boxed lunches that only cost ten yuan!
As for eating, Xia Weibao wasn’t particularly picky.
In the past, she had grown tired of all the delicacies in the Imperial Harem.
But…
Her gaze fell upon the other bag.
“What’s that?”
“They’re some snacks, duck necks, chicken feet, spicy strips, and the like. I bought them for my….” dog.
“Are they tasty?”
On hearing the word ‘snacks’, Xia Weibao’s eyes lit up.
She often saw various snacks online that seemed delicious, but there were none in Lu Garden.
And she didn’t have any money to buy them.
Seeing her eyes sparkle, Xiang Chu suddenly didn’t have the heart to say these were his pet’s dog treats.
His dog had a rather unique taste, enjoying spicy food, so he often bought them.
“Tasty.”
“Can I try some?”
Xia Weibao stared at the packets of spicy strips, nearly drooling at the thought of how delicious they appeared.
Xiang Chu wanted to say, No!
Master, you can’t compete with a dog for food!
However, faced with Xia Weibao’s eager gaze, he silently took out a packet, “You can…”
For the sake of pleasing his master, his dog could afford to skip a few meals…
