“Wait a minute—,” she had just uttered “wait,” but Wang Ju had already dialed out, and Xia Siyu was so nervous she felt like she was about to explode.
She was afraid that Bo Yan’s cellphone ringtone would sound, with everyone gathered in the living room, if it were to be heard coming from the bathroom, she wouldn’t be able to explain herself even with a dozen mouths!
If it were just a scandal, she wouldn’t fear others gossiping, for those with integrity do not fear their shadows. Had she known it would come to this, she might as well have let Bo Yan appear at the door from the start, better than being caught now!
She pricked up her ears to listen; on this end, Wang Ju t s call had been ringing for a long time, “dialing” on and on without an answer. As soon as the call was automatically disconnected because no one answered, Bo Yan’s message arrived: “Sorry, I was about to take a shower. Does Director Wang need something?”
Wang Ju quickly replied with a voice message, “Here’s the thing, can you stop by Xia Siyu’s room? The screenwriter and I are here, and we have some modifications and additions to discuss for the later parts of the script.”
Bo Yan responded with a text: “Wait a moment. I’ll let my assistants go over first. !
Xia Siyu, who had been beside Wang Ju watching all the messages, let out a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, the secret wasn’t out.
Shang Feifei, on the other hand, cast a glance at Xia Siyu, seeming to sense that something was off, particularly because there was a pair of leather shoes at the door. And they were men’s shoes.
She looked down at the shoes of Wang Ju and the members of the screenwriting team—they hadn’t changed shoes upon entering.
If they didn’t belong to them, whose men’s shoes were those?
Just as Shang Feifei was pondering this, someone knocked on the door. Someone hurried to answer it, and it was Song Fengzhi who came in.
Upon Song Fengzhi’s arrival, Shang Feifei didn’t feel it was her place to say anything. She only saw that he didn’t just come by himself, but also brought two assistants and a heap of snacks and bottled water.
Song Fengzhi first said, “Sorry for the wait, please give me a moment. Director
Wang, Screenwriter Zhao, you guys start discussing, he’ll be here soon.”
As he spoke, he had his people bring in the bottled water and various snacks into the room and also took the opportunity to clean up the leftovers from the late-night snack they had just had.
And true enough, with all these people around, the hotel-provided bottled water was clearly insufficient. Nobody had noticed while talking, but now that they had stopped, they were indeed feeling quite thirsty.
Moreover, the snacks brought by Song Fengzhi were thoughtfully low in calories, so even Shang Feifei could have a few, let alone the others.
While the two assistants were handing out water and snacks, everyone’s attention was diverted to them. At that moment, Song Fengzhi made eye contact with Xia Siyu, and she gave a slight nod.
It was a very subtle exchange that would have gone unnoticed without careful attention. Taking advantage of the distraction as everyone was busy with water and snacks, Song Fengzhi immediately turned around, ready to head to the bathroom. As long as Bo could slip out quietly and then later pretend as if nothing had happened, no one would be any the wiser.
However, just as he was about to take a step, someone else moved before him—it was Shang Feifei. As Song Fengzhi was preparing to open the door, her hand reached the bathroom doorknob first. Song Fengzhi paused, looking up at her.
Shang Feifei still smiling, said, “Sorry, I need to touch up my makeup.”
After finishing her sentence, she directly opened the door and stepped inside before anyone else.
Once Shang Feifei entered, the smile on her face instantly vanished. She looked around calmly and finally, her gaze fixed on the drawn shower curtain..
