Chapter 824: A Resigned Smile  Madam Yue pulled Shi Jin’s hand and sat down on the sofa. “Fortunately, you didn’t suffer any harm this time. Your uncle and I were so worried.”

“It’s all right. It’s all taken care of. Xiuyuan and I aren’t the type to do that sort of thing,” Shi Jin glanced at Fu Xiuyuan and said.

Fu Xiuyuan had been sitting beside her with a calm expression. Although he did not have any intimate actions with Shi Jin, one could tell that he doted on her.

Madam Yue smiled and said, “That’s for sure. Don’t I know what you guys are like? However, if you really encounter any trouble next time, let me know. I can at least be of some help, right?”

“Okay, next time something comes up, I’ll definitely talk to you.”

Shi Jin also found her amiable enough, gentle.

Perhaps because Shi Jin had helped Yue Lanchen, they had always been very concerned about Shi Jin.

Shi Jin did not feel burdened by spending time with them.

Madam Yue stood up and said, “I’ll go get some food now. You guys sit down first.”

Seeing her get up and enter the kitchen with an apron around her, Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Yue Lanchen was not around today. The two of them knew that this was really bad.

***

After leaving the Yue home, Shi Jin ate a little too much.

Madam Yue was cooking today and had burnt the pot. It was a little awkward, so she ordered dishes from outside.

They were all Shi Jin’s favorites.

Shi Jin did not know whether to laugh or cry. Under Madam Yue and Fu Xiuyuan’s continunous piling of food, she accidentally ate too much.

Fu Xiuyuan held her hand and they walked along the street to digest their food.

The lights on both sides of the road were bright and gentle. Shi Jin thought of Wen Qian’s matters and felt touched. She said softly, “Hubby, when we want children in the future, we need to think clearly, okay?”

“Yeah.” Fu Xiuyuan stopped and looked down at her. “Whenever you want.”

“Have you made up your mind?” She smiled at him.

“Yes. I want just one. Giving birth is too painful.” Fu Xiuyuan had watched the live broadcast of the pregnant woman giving birth that day.

He didn’t have any concept of it in the past, so when he’d seen it that day, he’d had a clearer understanding of that kind of pain. Even with the painkillers, there was no less pain to be endured.

He couldn’t imagine how crazy he would go if that pain happened to Shi Jin.

Shi Jin smiled. “So when do you want to have a baby?”

“When you want a baby, that would be the best time.” Fu Xiuyuan straightened her windblown hair. “Everything goes your way.”

Shi Jin threw herself into his arms. “What do I do? Then I want to have your baby now.”

The words flowed into Fu Xiuyuan’s ears on the wind. His Adam’s apple slid heavily as his fingers tightened around her waist. “Don’t talk nonsense.”

His voice was controlled and very low and hoarse.

Shi Jin clasped his fingers. “Then we’ll talk when we get back.”

She pulled him along, her feet moving forward. However, Fu Xiuyuan pulled her back into his arms.

She raised her head slightly and Fu Xiuyuan lowered his head to cover her red lips.

***

Phoenix in the Nine Heavens was filming smoothly.

Shi Jin was removing her makeup after filming today’s scenes.

Hearing the commotion outside, she walked out after finishing her skin care.

“This is really too difficult. You have to change it.”

“My dear young miss, this really can’t be changed. How can it be changed?”

“No, tell them to contact the screenwriter!”

“What are we changing?” Shi Jin asked, walking up.

The person who spoke was Liang Xinran, playing the role of the third female lead. She was originally chosen by the director and producer at the same time, but because her family was rich, she asked her father to invest another sum of money.

Of course, Shi Jin would not object to someone investing more. However, before investing, there were still restrictions. It was fine to invest more, but it could not affect the filming.

Therefore, Liang Xinran had been acting obediently recently.

Who knew that she would cause trouble today?

Liang Xinran’s manager quickly said, “It’s fine, it’s fine, Shi Jin. Xinran is just saying things randomly.”

“I’m not just saying it casually. Ask Director Nan. This line of mine is really too awkward to recite. And what did Director Nan say about acting pure and lustful, pure and sexy, arrogant and pitiful? Isn’t this just like saying you want a colorful type of black? How am I supposed to act like this?”

Although Liang Xinran had never interfered with the filming, she was still the daughter of one of the investors, so the entire production team was very indulgent towards her.

Now she was having a tantrum. Even Director Nan was personally comforting her.

“Xinran, if you can’t accept this scene for a while, let’s stop and rest for a while,” Nan Li said. “I’ll slowly explain the scene to you.”

“No, that’s the problem with screenwriters. I’m going to talk to her myself and get her to change all this nonsense. Who’s going to be able to do this? No one’s going to be able to do it when it’s written like this?”

Nan Li was also troubled. “Take a break first.”

All he knew was that the screenwriter was very busy. If there were any problems, they could only be contacted online.

Moreover, when he was filming, he would discover that the writer had indeed considered all the problems that he would have to consider, such as the difficulties in filming, or the problems that the actors might encounter.

This script had been as convenient as possible for all the filmmakers.

“No, not only do I have to film it today, but I also have to film it well. Not only that, I have to get the scriptwriter to change the scenes and lines for me! I have to deal with it all today!”

Liang Xinran was relentless.

Nan Li also had a headache. Seeing that Shi Jin was also here, he pulled Shi Jin aside. “Shi Jin, it’s fine. You can go back first. I’ll handle this.”

“How long has there been a problem with Liang Xinran’s scenes?”

“Just today. Liang Xinran is usually quite cooperative, but she just can’t get over it today. She’s usually quite serious and matches this character very well. I just don’t know what’s going on today.”

Shi Jin said, “Talk some sense into her.”

Nan Li ran over to persuade Liang Xinran.

Shi Jin turned on her phone and flipped to the page Liang Xinran needed to film today. She scanned the content and did not find any major problems.

The lines were indeed a little long and ancient, but as a fantasy drama, this was considered normal.

She looked up and saw that Liang Xinran was still shouting.

“Just tell me, who can perform these few scenes?” Liang Xinran was relentless.

“Shi Jin will do it,” Nan Li blurted out.

Liang Xinran did not believe him. “How is that possible?”

She had been here for so long, but she had never acted with Shi Jin before. In the early stages, they only filmed individual scenes and their own scenes. They had not interacted yet.
