Xu Xin completed all of her scenes on set as per normal. Then, amidst a wave of applause, she was finally done. At this time, Tangning still had a few thousand scenes to go.
Lin Qian looked into Xu Xin's background, but she did not do much. All she did was occasionally visit a nearby clinic to get some medicine to treat her headaches.
"Perhaps we're overthinking things," Lin Qian said.
Tangning remained silent for a moment, but her thoughts weren't simple, "Although we promised the director that we would forget about his private life, we should still remind him to be wary of Xu Xin."
"It's not good to talk about something like this in person," Lin Qian replied.
After Xu Xin finished filming, the director kept his promise and handed the script to Xu Xin, "Contact the person you've marked in the script. He will arrange a role for you."
"Director, come to my room tonight. I have something important to tell you," Xu Xin said with a pale face. "I'm pregnant with your child …"
The director froze in disbelief and began to doubt Xu Xin's words, "We used birth control …"
"But, I'm still pregnant," Xu Xin said in seriousness. "I'm not asking for anything else. It's not a good place to talk. Let me know if you want to keep the child or not. I won't bother you anymore."
"We can talk over the phone …"
"You are the child's father. You should say goodbye to him." After speaking, Xu Xin left, leaving the director in a daze.
The director's heart was in a mess. In fact, he didn't know what to do until his eyes met with Tangning and Lin Qian's.
However, at this time, the director avoided Tangning's gaze and pretended like nothing had happened.
Tangning knew what was going on, so she did not force the director. Instead, she waited until it was time for dinner before she said, "Director, things were supposed to be simple. I hope things don't get too ugly in the end. I don't want my crew to be involved in so many dirty things. Otherwise, I don't think I'll be able to continue working here."
"You need to understand the responsibility that you have on your shoulders."
The director sighed. In the end, he had no choice but to tell the truth, "Actually, it's not unreasonable for Xu Xin and I to be together. After all, my ex-wife and I already divorced two years ago. It's not an issue of morality, it's just a normal relationship."
"Tangning, I know you can't stand to see dirty things like this. It's my fault for not being able to control myself, but I'm not completely blinded by lust. I didn't disrupt the filming process."
"Since that's the case, the director should make it clear that we have to strike first in case someone else takes the initiative..." Tangning said with a hidden meaning.
After hearing Tangning's words, the director let out a laugh. The gloominess on his face disappeared as he raised his thumb at Tangning, "You are indeed an expert."
Tangning did not say another word. She simply smiled.
After all, no one hated these dirty schemes more than she did.
"I remember that Wind Teng Media wanted to do an interview on Survivor. Just nice …"
The director finally understood. That was all that mattered.
Tangning finally relaxed. Regardless of what Xu Xin was plotting, as long as the director made things clear, no matter what they did, they wouldn't be able to blame him. On the other hand, as soon as Xu Xin revealed any dirt, the entire world would feel sorry for the director.
After filming was completed, Xu Xin continued to wait in the hotel. But, she had no idea that the director was currently being interviewed by the media.
Apart from promoting 'Survivor', the director appeared to be in a particularly good mood. This naturally attracted the attention of the media.
"I wonder if something good has happened to the director? He seems to be in a good mood. "
"To be honest, in order to protect my family's privacy, my ex-wife and I have been divorced for two years without announcing it to the public. But, I'm about to become a father, so I want to consider the mother of my child and not let anyone misunderstand her."
"In that case, I must congratulate the director. I wonder who will be lucky enough to receive this blessing?"
"The female lead that we just finished filming tonight, Xu Xin," the director said in seriousness. "We met because of filming, so I hope everyone can give us their blessings."
"That's great!"
In reality, the media wasn't focused on the director's personal matters. But, since the director had spoken, they naturally had to congratulate him.
Soon, news spread throughout the industry. At this time, Xu Xin's manager immediately gave her a phone call, "How did you end up in a relationship with the director?"
Xu Xin was confused.
"How did you know?"
"Your director has already publicly admitted to it. Since you've offended Hai Rui, it's not a bad idea to find a backer. Congratulations."
After hearing her manager's words, Xu Xin immediately unlocked her phone and searched for news...
But, a moment later, she smashed her phone on the floor. After all, she had originally schemed against the director to destroy his reputation.
But, he actually confessed his love for her and told everyone that she was pregnant with a child!
In reality, her stomach was empty. She simply wanted to lure the director here. But, she ended up shooting herself in the foot.
As soon as she admitted that she wasn't pregnant, the director could turn around and accuse her of lying.
Soon, the director arrived as promised. Previously, he was acting sneakily, but now, he was acting openly.
"Xu Xin..."
Xu Xin reminded herself to stay calm. She wanted to take this opportunity to test whether the director was being sincere or not.
"I never thought that you'd already gotten a divorce. Since you truly love me, let's live happily together from now on, OK?" Xu Xin asked gently.
"Of course, my precious. But, I need to take you to the hospital for a checkup to see if the baby is healthy. You've done so many dangerous things in the past, I'm afraid that it might affect the baby."
Xu Xin's expression immediately changed.
"What's wrong?" the director asked despite knowing the answer.
"I... it's too late right now. Can we go tomorrow?"
The director nodded his head and protected her, "Whatever you say."
Xu Xin's emotions were extremely complicated... because she didn't know whether the director was being serious or not. No, it couldn't be fake. Although the director wasn't stupid, he wasn't exactly smart when it came to relationships. After being seduced by a woman, he didn't know how to reject her. It was impossible for him to suddenly be enlightened. So, the only explanation was that the director was serious about her.
Even if he wasn't serious about her, he still wanted a child.
Unfortunately, she didn't have a child in her stomach!
What was she to do? That night, Xu Xin was destined to be nervous. But, how was she going to get past tomorrow?
...
"Ning Jie, you're amazing," Lin Qian praised as she watched the situation turn around. "Now, we have the upper hand. As soon as Xu Xin makes a move, it will be her fault!" Lin Qian couldn't help but praise Tangning as she watched the situation turn around.
