Chapter 159 - You're My Young Mistress

Shen Fanxing let out a breath and asked, "Since you're back in the country, what drama did you accept?"

Chu Yi replied airily, "It's just a fantasy drama. The science fiction genre is unstoppable overseas, and I have to return to my home country to do my part."

Shen Fanxing stood up and replied casually, "Get your assistant to give me your recent schedule. I'll do the arrangements accordingly."

How could Chu Yi think of doing his part for the local production?

What a flowery reason.

"You're leaving just like that?"

"Thanks to you, I have to do some handover."

Chu Yi grinned and replied, "You just have to stay by my side. You're my young mistress, how can I bear to burden you?"

Shen Fanxing pressed her lips and quipped, "Thank you for being kind."

She finished and wanted to leave, but Chu Yi grabbed her arm.

"You broke up with Su Heng?"

Shen Fanxing's face fell and she frowned.

"You care too much."

Chu Yi's expression didn't look too well either. "Do you want to leave this place?"

Everyone was speechless…

Noticing Shen Fanxing's silence, Chu Yi became agitated.

"How long do you want to stay here?"

"I still have some unfinished business here… I don't want to leave either!"

With that, Shen Fanxing brushed past him.

…

Chu Yi had deliberately returned to the country earlier to have a break. Thus he didn't have much to do.

After going through his schedule, Shen Fanxing's head ached when she saw a familiar name in the blockbuster drama he had accepted.

Of course, Shen Qianrou wouldn't be the female lead.

However, her role was controversial. The character she would be portraying was hurt by love and she ended up taking the demonic path.

The man she had guarded for close to a thousand years had fallen in love with another woman. Unwilling to accept that, she fought and defied everything. She would rather destroy him if she couldn't have him.

When Shen Fanxing saw the script, she couldn't help but give a cold snort.

The actress chosen by the director was indeed suitable as the role fitted Shen Qianrou perfectly.

This was the first drama that Chu Yi had accepted after he clinched the International Best Actor award and came back to the country. His management company was smart enough not to accept the role of the male lead.

This made Shen Fanxing heave a sigh of relief. After all, he had just clinched the best actor award, but the entertainment industry was complicated. It wasn't uncommon for a female celebrity to buy a temporary role and forcing her way into the production team after landing a rich man. Thus, the script and the cast were not stable.

If the box office failed, the male and female leads would end up as the scapegoats.

Chu Yi had just won the International Best Actor award and this would be his first drama after his return. If it turned out to be a failure, that would be akin to shooting himself in the foot.

In that case, being the second male lead was enough for him to do his part.

Just like what he had said, he was merely doing his part for the domestic entertainment industry. And it wasn't a bad thing.

The male lead was Chai Jinyun, a popular celebrity under Ocean Entertainment in Fu City.

The female lead was Liang Xuer. She was the precious and cherished woman of the highly mysterious and low-profile Li Tingshen whom nobody dared to provoke.

From the look of the cast, one could tell that this was indeed a major production.

However, there was quite some time before the commencement of filming.

Even the initial publicity for the drama was another month away.

Xu Qingzhi had completely let Shen Fanxing go. The only thing she wanted was for her to serve Chu Yi well.

Shen Fanxing also understood the importance of Chu Yi, and naturally she waited on him like he was her ancestor.

She circled around Chu Yi for two days and his previous claim of him not wanting to tire her out was merely a lie.

Shen Fanxing, who had finally cast off Chu Yi for an afternoon, was stopped by someone downstairs when she was hoping to get a good rest.
