Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shi Lu was used to doing whatever he wanted. He entered the Shi family with his mother when he was 12 years old.
Although his father had raised him, his father didn’t give him the warmth he deserved. After Shi Lu reached adulthood, his father didn’t care about him at all. Shi Lu was also used to being alone, so the feeling of being disturbed by Shi Lu made him very unhappy.
Yuan Shu frowned, since she had always hated being shouted at. She asked Shi Lu bluntly, “What are you doing now? The entire production team is looking for you like crazy. You didn’t say a word about your whereabouts, didn’t pick up the phone or reply, but came to the beach to play? If you want to die, wouldn’t it be better if I helped you?”
A sea breeze blew over. The towel Yuan Yuan had put on Shi Lu had already fallen to the ground and the water droplets on Shi Lu’s body had yet to be wiped dry, so he felt a bone-piercing cold and shivered uncontrollably.
“Go get a towel and put it on the Second Young Master. Then, pour him a cup of ginger tea to warm him up,” Yuan Shu instructed the assistant beside her.
Of course, she had to teach him a lesson, but she couldn’t let him freeze. Yuan Shu understood the carrot-and-stick approach.
Shi Lu still wanted to refuse, but before he could say anything, he sneezed.
Yuan Shu ignored Shi Lu and turned around to wave at Director Chen, who was still watching. “Since we’ve found him, inform the production team to get ready. We’ll go back now.”
Chen Sheng nodded hurriedly. He wished he could grow wings and fly back to the production team.
“Who wants to go back? What right do you have to make a decision for me?” Shi Lu looked unhappy. He had come out to relax because he was fed up with filming. He had originally planned to go back tonight, but after Yuan Shu’s interference, Shi Lu suddenly didn’t want to go back anymore.
Even if he went back, he couldn’t follow Yuan Shu back like this, Shi Lu thought.
“Haven’t you had enough?” Yuan Shu raised her eyebrows with an expression that said, “If you dare to say that, you’re dead meat.”
Shi Lu suddenly recalled the feeling of being pressed into the water. He couldn’t breathe or open his eyes. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t break free from the hand on his head. At that moment, he felt that if he dared to say it, Yuan Shu would dare to press him into the water again and let him play to his heart’s content.
However, since they had already reached this point, he had to act tough no matter what. Shi Lu swallowed hard and said without any intimidation, “Who do you think you are? Don’t try to control me!”
“Who am I? I’m your sister-in-law!” Yuan Shu rolled her eyes at him and turned to leave.
“Get in the car and go back to the set.”
Shi Lu hesitated as to whether to follow. When Yuan Shu arrived at the car, she realized that Shi Lu didn’t follow her, but she wasn’t angry and only smiled at Shi Lu.
“What, do you want me to invite you in?”
As Shi Lu looked at the smiling Yuan Shu, he suddenly felt that if he didn’t follow her this time, he would be pressed into the water again. He would even have to chase the car back to the production team. He hesitated for a moment before following Yuan Shu into the car.
After the car started, Shi Lu suddenly said, “Can you not interfere in my matters?”
Yuan Shu sneered. “Alright, then don’t let the director call the landline at home. You have your own considerations when you do something.”
Shi Lu finally remembered that in order to avoid Director Chen’s harassment, he had given him his home number. He felt that Yuan Shu wouldn’t be so bored as to interfere in his matters, and there was no reason to either.
Now that he thought about it, he really deserved it.
Shi Lu explained to Yuan Shu awkwardly, “I just like extreme sports.”
Yuan Shu snorted. “Do you like extreme sports? Or do you just like causing trouble?”
Shi Lu was powerless to refute and could only remain silent.
The atmosphere in the car became tenser and tenser. The driver didn’t dare to make a sound and only prayed that they would reach the set faster.
An hour later, everyone finally returned to the production team.
As soon as they got out of the car, a group of people surrounded Shi Lu and asked if anything had happened to him.
Everyone’s clamors made Shi Lu feel as if there were hundreds of ducks crying in his ears. He shouted in irritation, “Shut up. How noisy!”
Shi Lu’s impatient roar and his intimidating aura made everyone shut their mouths and hurriedly make way for him.
Yuan Shu frowned as she watched Shi Lu walk into the dressing room.
Rude children were really unlikeable and needed to be taught a lesson!
Looking at the surroundings, Yuan Shu rubbed her fingers and remembered the matter.
