How Long Had He Been Standing At The Door?

Editor: Henyee Translations

Xia Changyue's face was ashen. She grabbed her knees tightly and dared not make a single move.

She also dared not look at his eyes…

"Today is our filming commencement ceremony; I hope everyone can focus on our project. Our main cast also has their own ideas about this drama series…"

Director Wang was a very experienced director. He immediately came forward to alleviate the situation the moment the atmosphere went south.

Both the male and female actors stepped out cooperatively to handle the reporters. The news conference became lively again after a minute.

Only Xia Changyue remained in the same position with her head bowed. She desperately wished to find a corner to hide until the news conference had ended.

She couldn't even be bothered when Jiang Mingna became the female lead of her drama series again, hinting to all the reporters that she was interested in Yan Chengchi.

Her whole mind was occupied by how Yan Chengchi would punish her after the news conference. The reporter had angered Yan Chengchi with his question.

The news conference finally ended. Xia Changyue discreetly left the stage before anyone could react.

She heaved a big sigh of relief when she entered the changing room.

She discovered she had an unanswered call notification on her mobile phone. She tapped on it to see who it was.

She was startled to see it was An Chenxu. She then proceeded to call back.

"Are you looking for me, Brother Chenxu?"

"Yes. Hanhan sneaked out to play, I thought I lost him, so I called you, but the little guy had already returned by himself. Has the news conference ended?"

An Chenxu's gentle voice was very soothing to one's frayed nerves.

Xia Changyue's spirits lifted when she thought of her son.

"Yup, It is over."

"It is still early, and Hanhan keeps saying that he wants to wait for his Mommy. Shall we have dinner together, and then I'll send you back?"

"…"

Xia Changyue was about to reject when she thought of her precious son whom she couldn't keep by her side. She paused for a while and then agreed.

"We are still at this cafeteria. We will wait for you to come."

"Alright, I am coming over right now."

Xia Changyue prepared to put the phone back into her bag after she hung up the call. Suddenly she felt a chill up her back.

An oppressing yet familiar feeling slowly came close to her back.

Her hand froze in mid-air as she slowly turned around. Her eyes widened when she saw the man standing at the door.

How long had he been standing at the door?

Did he overhear her conversation on the phone?

Xia Changyue's face paled when she looked at his grim expression. She dared not make a sound.

Yan Chengchi looked at her with a piercing gaze as if he was going to cut her into pieces.

He pursed his thin lips without a word, then he turned and left.

He left the nervous Xia Changyue standing there in a daze while staring at his back.

Yan Chengchi disappeared from her sight long before she regained her wits.

Xia Changyue couldn't afford to spend too long pondering, especially with Hanhan still waiting for her in the cafeteria. She grabbed her bag, turned around, and walked out of the production unit.

She avoided the reporters who might be waiting for an exclusive and made her way out of the production unit. She saw a familiar limousine just as she was about to hail a taxi at the roadside.

The black limousine quickly drove toward her the very second they saw her.

The car window rolled down and revealed Yan Chengchi's seductive yet ominous face.

He coldly hissed two words, "Get in!"

"…"

Xia Changyue grabbed onto her bag tightly. She opened her mouth, trying to say that she already had an appointment.

However, she dared not to reject him after she recalled what happened earlier at the news conference.

What was worse was that Yan Chengchi would discover the son she hid away in the cafeteria…
