Chapter 541: The Empress’s Abnormal Possessiveness
She sneered coldly, not knowing what Wan Ke was up to.
But he’d better not mess with her.
Otherwise, she won’t be to blame for losing control and throwing a few punches.
She hadn’t hit anyone in a long time, and her hands were getting itchy.
After enjoying the cool breeze for a while, Xia Weibao turned around and headed back to the banquet table.
Before she could sit down, she noticed a gaze, full of hostility, fixed on her.
Looking up, she met Chu Ying’s antagonistic eyes.
Xia Weibao raised her eyebrows, too lazy to care.
She genuinely felt uncomfortable in such a film crew.
Dinner involved just a few men playing drinking games with finger-guessing, continuing until midnight.
Zhuang Xuejun wasn’t very good with alcohol and was somewhat tipsy.
Xia Weibao took her outside to clear her head before heading back.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they saw Chu Ying sneakily entering Wan Ke’s room.
Xia Weibao and Zhuang Xuejun exchanged glances but said nothing.
Such things were not uncommon in the entertainment industry.
However, Xia Weibao hadn’t expected that someone of Chu Ying’s caliber would be so eager to throw herself at someone.
"I think if it weren’t for Chu Ying playing by the unspoken rules, the role of Jin Die would definitely be yours," Zhuang Xuejun whispered to her before going to sleep.
"I like the role of Bai He more," Xia Weibao replied, staring at the ceiling, her thoughts returning to Yuan Zhinan’s photo, which really resembled Emperor Xia Liang to the last detail.
Was this really just a coincidence?
And that Bai He, she always felt there was some secret between her and Yuan Zhinan.
Logically speaking, a man of Yuan Zhinan’s status wouldn’t just pick up a woman and bring her home on a whim.
Moreover, the historical records indicate that he knew from the start that Bai He was a spy from the Island Country.
If so, why did he still take her home?
After bringing her home, he cared for her meticulously, loved her dearly, only to shoot her dead later.
And after killing her, he frantically looked for a lookalike.
It was bizarre, no matter how she tried to make sense of it.
Xia Weibao turned over, feeling restless.
Her mind was filled with baseless speculations.
Yuan Zhinan never married in his lifetime, but did he ever have a woman?
His profound affection for Bai He, what kind of relationship was it?
Was it brotherly love, or... lovers’?
Did they ever engage in a relationship?
Whenever she thought of a man who looked exactly like Dog Emperor being intimate with another woman, it made her feel very uncomfortable.
This must be some kind of illness.
A perverted sense of possession.
But this kind of mentality couldn’t be adjusted, she couldn’t control it.
Tossing and turning, she endured a sleepless night.
As a result, she looked unwell when she got up the next day.
Seeing her haggard face, Zhuang Xuejun almost thought she had a wet dream the night before.
Otherwise, why would she look so overwrought despite someone lying beside her?
Luckily, today was only the commencement ceremony and a test shoot, not the actual filming.
Otherwise, given her condition, it probably wouldn’t go well.
After breakfast, they proceeded with the commencement ceremony, and the main actors took turns offering incense.
Then came the test shoot, where each of the main actors got into costume first, then shot a scene to find the right feel.
To see if there was anything that needed to be adjusted.
Xia Weibao’s makeup as Bai He was very refreshing. She wore a white western dress, and her long, straight black hair was gently lifted by the breeze the moment she stepped out.
Bai He was fresh, the embodiment of a first love.
Xia Shi had a good eye for scripts; the role of Bai He was truly tailored for her!
She barely needed to act—just by standing there, she was the slowly blooming lily in a corner.
After shooting one scene, Wan Ke was very satisfied.
It was time for another person to take a turn.
Xia Weibao, meanwhile, sat on the side.
Suddenly, a man’s voice came from beside her, "You really do resemble Bai He."
