Xie Weihui looked at her daughter warmly and served her more food. Even though Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ didn't like it, she just smiled at her and accepted it.
Xie Yuansheng left the venue in exactly an hour and went to his office where Feng Xinying was browsing through his computer. "So what are you doing Feng Xinying in my absence?"
"I am spying on my husband's activities. I was looking for all the photos of his girlfriends in here but I can't find that folder," she said looking at him.
Xie Yuansheng went around the desk and then picked her to make him sit on his lap. She started browsing again with her hand on mouse. He kept his hand on hers directed her to a folder in his doc.u.ments. He clicked on that and all the pictures exploded out of the folded like a thousand sparkles of colorful lights. Each and every picture was that of Feng Xinying.
Feng Xinying left the mouse and rested on his shoulder. She smiled as he scrolled down. There was none of his picture also over there. Her heart was filled with warmth. She turned and buried her face in the crook of his neck. "Xie Yuansheng, stop loving me so much. I won't be able to reciprocate it darling…" she whispered.
He left the mouse and circled her waist. "I don't want any reciprocation… I am happy the way I feel for you… just don't ever leave me…"
"Why would I leave the most loving husband? In fact if anyone would try to poach you, I would gorge her eyes," she spoke as she circled her arms behind around his neck.
Xie Yuansheng started laughing and started kissing her crazily. "You are all over my life, all over my mind. When I am not thinking about office, I am thinking about you." He said in between his kisses.
Soon they were on their way to home. While in the car Feng Xinying said, "I have read the script and it is very interesting. I am eagerly waiting for the filming to start. Tomorrow I have called Zhou Ah Ming to read the script with me. He will speak the dialogues of the main male lead."
Xie Yuansheng narrowed his eyes. "Give me the script."
Feng Xinying gave it to him thinking that he was also intrigued about it. However, Xie Yuansheng finished reading it in the next one hour and by the time they reached their bedroom, he said, "You can practice speaking with me. You will express your emotions in a better way."
"What? You have already read it all?" asked Feng Xinying with a surprise.
"Of course!" he was afraid that she would read those love dialogues with Zhou Ah Ming.
"Wow! Thanks Xie Yuansheng. Let us change and have dinner. Then we will read it."
"Okay."
Once dinner was over, Feng Xinying took the script to read with him, but not even five minutes had pa.s.sed, Xie Yuansheng was already snoring on the pillow. Feng Xinying smiled at him. She covered him with a blanket and switched off the light. She went to sleep next to him. Sometime during the night, she crawled up on him.
Next day she didn't go anywhere. Over the breakfast she informed him that she had to go to the hostel for martial arts training mandatorily. Xie Yuansheng became sad but he couldn't say much. "Okay…" he said as he dug his fork into the pork but didn't pick it to eat it.
Feng Xinying got up from her place and went to sit by side. "It's only two weeks, okay?" she said as she picked that fork and made him eat it.
"Hmm…"
Before he left, she said, "Please come early today in the evening. We have to go to Hotel Red Dragon."
"Of course, how can I miss it?" he said as he kissed her goodbye.
Zhou Ah Ming came in the afternoon and together they read the script with her. He gave her a lot of advice regarding dialogue delivery. Feng Xinying was impressed by him. By the time they finished, it was already 5PM. Zhou Ah Ming left and Feng Xinying started getting ready for the party. It was the most important party of her career as an actress. It was her first party as a debut actress. She knew that Lu Dao would not leave a stone unturned to make it big. She smiled as she slipped into her evening wear - a white colored floor length gown with a low neckline. She applied makeup and was ready by 7PM.
Xie Yuansheng hadn't come and she was getting agitated. She called him but he didn't pick the call. She texted the message,
[Where are you?]
There was no reply. She only got worried. It was 8PM and he hadn't still come. She was so sad and angry that she thought that perhaps he was not going to support her. She thought that he was already showing the signs of sulking. What would he do if she started acting?
She decided to go to the venue alone. When she arrived, she saw that there were hundreds of people that had thronged to the venue. Media reporters were flas.h.i.+ng photos. There were other stars from the industry. She was mesmerized and her mouth fell to the ground. There was so much paparazzi that she was at a loss of words. She stepped out of the car and shyly started walking on the red carpet that was spread in front of her. Suddenly someone shouted, "Look, it is the actress of the movie Feng Xinying!"
Feng Xinying wondered how did they even recognize her. She bit her lip, lowered her head and walked in the midst of cameras flas.h.i.+ng lights and reporters shouting, "Ma'am, please pose for us."
Feng Xinying missed Xie Yuansheng this time as she walked alone. "Can you pose for me?" she heard a familiar voice. She looked up startled. Looking das.h.i.+ng as always, he was standing there at the end of the carpet, holding his phone and clicking her pictures. Her confidence returned. She walked gracefully like a model and walked right up to him with her head held high. He looked down at her. She was looking beautiful as ever.
Feng Xinying laughed and together they walked in. "Where were you?"
"Waiting for you," he replied as he held her waist and guided her to the elevator. She saw that they were surrounded by security.
