Chapter 120: He Was Actually Singing A Love Song With Another Woman
“Well said.” Director Su was taken by her passion and said to the other actors on the production team, “Take a look at Changqing—such enthusiasm, unlike you guys who keep complaining about the heat, being all lethargic. You should learn from Changqing.”
The corners of Chi Yining’s mouth twitched and she looked at Changqing like she was a monster.
After shooting under such weather, it was no wonder that one could get a heatstroke.
After Director Su said that to everyone, he told Changqing a little worriedly, “However, Changqing, are you sure you can endure it?”
“Director Su, this little heat is nothing to me.” Changqing disregarded Wen Tong’s obstruction and put on the thick puppet costume.
Changqing felt it was stuffy, as though she was wrapped up in a layer of quilts inside and it was so hot that she could hardly breathe.
However, this was the effect she wanted.
If she fell ill, she would then be able to give Song Chuyi a call.
However, never would she have thought that shooting this scene would be as horrible as submerging herself in the high temperature of a hot spring at 40 degrees celsius.
After a difficult shoot, Changqing could feel she was soaked and weak.
Wen Tong drove her back to the Yan’s and throughout the journey, she kept chiding, “Is there something wrong with your brain? Even if you wanted to show off, this isn’t the way. You still have a big program to shoot tomorrow. What if you fall ill?”
“Don’t talk to me. I feel like puking now.” Changqing waved her hand weakly.
Wen Tong was so angry that she scolded, “Serves you right.”
After she returned to the Yan’s, Changqing went straight up to sleep.
When she woke up the next day, she was dizzy and felt like vomiting.
Thinking about the program that she had to record in the afternoon, she got Auntie Zhang to find some medicine for her when she really couldn’t take it anymore. She felt a little better.
Today, there were many reporters gathering at the entrance of the broadcasting station. Changqing went up from the underground carpark.
On set, Zhang Zixin had already arrived. She was a petite woman in a sapphire blue dress and her hair was shoulder-length and semi-curled. The 32-year-old looked as though she was in her early twenties. Her features couldn’t be considered very stunning, but she was still refined. She belonged to the category of women who looked prettier the more you looked.
Changqing had watched quite a few of her movies in the past and she felt that Zhang Zixin’s skin was smooth and fine on screen, but when she saw Zhang Zixin in real life for the first time, she realized that her skin wasn’t very good. However, her makeup was finely done and though she was small, she had a huge aura.
“Teacher Zhang, hello,” Changqing was the best at being welcoming on the program. “I really, really love to watch your movies, especially the previous spy action movie. You were so cool in it.”
“Really?” Zhang Zixin smiled slightly and turned away to continue chatting with the scriptwriter.
Changqing felt awkward. Zhu Jia happened to witness this scene and beckoned her over to help her out of the embarrassment. “Changqing, come over here, I have something I need you for.”
“Then let’s chat later, Teacher Zhang,” Changqing still addressed her with a thick skin.
However, Zhang Zixin didn’t even look at her.
She walked towards Zhu Jia dejectedly and said, “Why do I have a feeling that Zhang Zixin doesn’t really like me?”
Zhu Jia chuckled. “Perhaps she’s jealous?”
“I’m the one who should be jealous of her.” Changqing felt weird.
“Jealous that you can be with Zuo Qian all the time.” Zhu Jia made eyes at her. “Looks like the rumors aren’t wrong; she might not have gotten over our Teacher Zuo.”
Changqing was speechless. Zhang Zixin and Teacher Zuo’s break up had nothing to do with her anyway.
Around four in the afternoon, Changxin was led into the recording studio by Wen Tong.
When Changqing took some time to go over to greet her, Changxin was holding on to a box of handmade chocolates, enjoying them.
“Don’t tell me this is what you got Song Chuyi to bring back from Switzerland?” Changqing asked sullenly.
“Yeah.” Changxin passed one to her with a smile. “Do you want to try it? It’s very pure.”
“No.” Changqing turned her face away, feeling jealous and gloomy at the same time. “Did you two come back to Northern City together?”
“Why are you always asking about everything?” Changxin was puzzled. “Didn’t he tell you anything?”
“Aren’t I busy right now?”
“Even if you’re busy, you have to be concerned about your husband,” Changxin said, “Right, at night, some people from the hospital organized an outing to welcome your husband back and they invited me along. Do you want to head over with me after you’re done?”
“... Sure.” Changqing was secretly happy for a while in her heart. Thank god for her sister.
At 7:30pm, the recording started.
Thankfully, when the shoot started, Zhang Zixin wasn’t as cold towards Changqing like before and was all smiles instead.
After that, when it was the game segment, they were recording a game in the water.
Changqing’s heatstroke had yet to improve and although she took some medicine in the morning, she didn’t do so at night and she still felt quite terrible. Since they were playing games at night, crawling around in the water repeatedly, she felt dizzy and limp.
She had finally survived through the recording with much difficulty. Mei Zong said he would treat everyone to supper.
Changqing said she wasn’t feeling well and didn’t join in. Everyone could tell she was in discomfort and thus, they didn’t urge her to stay, only telling her to go home early to take some medicine and rest.
At around 10, Lin Yiqin’s car pulled over at the broadcasting station to take the two sisters to a pretty, lively KTV in Northern City.
Changqing sat at the back alone while Changxin and Lin Yiqin sat in front. Throughout the journey, Changxin couldn’t stop chattering, immersed in the joy and excitement of seeing Zhang Zixin.
Lin Yiqin turned to look at his wife beside him with indulgence and pinched her face from time to time.
Changqing, as a solo dog in the back, received ten thousand blows.
She wanted her husband and also wanted someone to pamper her.
When they reached the KTV, Changqing got off first. When she was waiting for the other two outside, she happened to turn her head to see Lin Yiqin kissing Yan Changxin.
Changqing suddenly felt her head hurting even more and her nose also felt sour. She also wanted to be kissed by someone...
Along the way, she followed Changxin and Lin Yiqin upstairs silently.
When the door of the suite was pushed open, the melodious sound of a man and woman harmonizing could be heard.
Changqing subconsciously looked for Song Chuyi in that huge suite. Maybe it was because it was too familiar that it only took her seconds to find him. He had a microphone in his hand and he was looking at the screen seriously while singing. Sitting beside him was a dignified woman with hair reaching her waist, looking cute and helpless, and also holding on to a microphone. She gazed at the man beside her from time to time with a pair of eyes filled with tenderness.
Changqing only felt a sense of rage suppressed within her body rising towards her head.
After all that, he was actually singing a love song with another woman and they were singing “the unreachable forever is always in turmoil”.
Could it be that she was the person whom he had obtained and therefore wasn’t in turmoil anymore?
“Dr. Yan, you’re here.” A female doctor in her thirties in the suite stood up and beckoned them over. “Hey, why does your friend here look so much like Yan Changqing?”
She said that sentence loudly and caused many people in the suite to focus their attention on Changqing.
Those with a slightly higher position in the hospital all knew that Song Chuyi carried Changqing into a VIP ward under many watchful eyes a while ago, and in their eyes, these two had something going on.
When they suddenly heard that Changqing was there, everyone subconsciously looked at Yu Sihe, the daughter of the Hospital Director, sitting beside Song Chuyi.
Yu Sihe looked at Chuyi with eyes full of caution and looked at Song Chuyi, but she caught him putting the microphone down and turning to look at the door.
“Let me officially introduce you all—Changqing is actually my sister.” Changxin chuckled as she pushed Changqing towards Song Chuyi.
“Wow, this is some explosive news.” Some doctors who didn’t know about it suddenly shouted excitedly.
“Also, also...” Changxin raised her hands to signal everyone to be quiet. “Changqing is also...”
Changqing could’ve guessed what she was about to say and quickly covered her mouth, saying softly, “Enough, enough, cut it out.”
“Why can’t I say it? You and Song Chuyi are legally married. Let me tell you, the woman beside Song Chuyi is our Hospital Director’s daughter, Yu Sihe. She’s always had a thing for Song Chuchu. You better go over there and make me proud. Don’t be such a coward.” Changxin pushed Changqing over.
She used slightly more strength and Changqing tripped over the corner of the table on the side. Just when she was about to fall on to an unfamiliar male doctor sitting by the side, a man’s arm suddenly reached out from the side and held on her waist.
Changqing only felt her face bumping firmly into a warm and soft spot. The smell of a familiar male scent lingered around her nose and she could guess who it was. She could faintly feel her heart becoming almost stifled.
She mustered up the courage to look up and his pair of secretive eyes was staring right at her.
Changqing crawled up with embarrassment and wanted to escape. However, she had second thoughts. Since she had yet to get a divorce, their marriage was still legitimate. Why did she have to escape?
After thinking for a while, she sat beside him.
Hence, in the suite, Song Chuyi, who was sitting right in the middle, had beautiful women sitting right next to him on both sides.
The people in the crowd looked at each other and felt awkward, yet at the same time, a little excited.
Could it be that two women were vying for this man? One of them was the Hospital Director’s daughter while the other was a popular television female host.
This image was more interesting than entertainment gossip.
The crowd looked at the three of them excitedly and the Vice-Director said with a smile, “Chuyi, you’re really lucky with women.”
“Vice-Director, stop teasing me.” Song Chuyi put the microphone down with a slight smile and he suddenly placed his long arm around Changqing’s shoulder naturally.
The crowd was stupefied and Changqing’s body froze. She carefully snuck a peek at Song Chuyi’s handsome face under the dim lighting. He had an unfathomable slight smile hanging on the corners of his lips all along, as though he didn’t see the shocked gazes of everyone and was only looking down at his phone.
Beside him, Yu Sihe’s face became pale and she watched them for quite a while, stunned. After a very long time, she managed to squeeze a sound out from her throat. “Dr. Song, you and... her...?”
“Is there a problem?” Song Chuyi asked in a deep and cold tone.
After that, Changqing saw that beautiful pair of eyes suddenly filling with grief and heartache.
She felt a little upset, seeing as she could somewhat relate.
This Hospital Director’s daughter must be feeling how she felt a few days ago.
She sighed.
Although it was very soft, Song Chuyi still heard it. He looked at the woman by his side with a strange gaze. She seemed to be lacking in spirit and she looked sick.
Did she dislike him putting his arm over her shoulder that much?
His face turned black too. If it wasn’t because Yu Sihe kept bothering him and kept taking the microphone, insisting on singing with him whenever he sang, he wouldn’t have put his arm around her shoulders to force Yu Sihe to back off.
