Chapter 111 My Husband Is So Good to Me

Chapter 111 My Husband Treats Me Very Well

Song Ni's scenes were delayed for a few days due to a sudden change in the female lead. With such a large production, the crew couldn't afford to halt filming for long. In the afternoon, it was Liang Qian and Su Jingxi's turn to act. Song Ni had slept for too long, so she asked Tan Zheng to take her to the set. One reason was to learn, and the other was to witness a good show. Lu Fang finally had a legitimate reason to visit, so how could he not go see Liang Qian? Even if Liang Qian had to act in an emotional scene with Su Jingxi, he would still watch.

Song Ni, when she went out, always paid attention to her image, not out of insecurity, but because of the social etiquette her family had instilled in her since childhood. Therefore, even in her wheelchair, Song Ni wore a comfortable long dress, complemented by a blanket of the same color. Her hair was casually styled with a clip, with a few stray strands falling on her face, adding a touch of gentleness. As for Tan Zheng, he had ditched his black leather jacket and was wearing an apricot-colored turtleneck sweater to match Song Ni. Though his features were exquisite, his facial contours were sharp, giving him a wilder aura. Even in gentle clothing, he exuded a hint of roguishness. However, it wouldn't be considered too out of place, as his height and build made him a perfect mannequin, looking good in anything. Seeing the usually cool and edgy Tan Zheng in such a refreshing style was a pleasant change.

Song Ni opened her arms towards Tan Zheng, who mistook it for a desire for a hug. "Why are you so clingy?" he teased, but his body was honest. Before Song Ni could reply, Tan Zheng leaned in. Song Ni, however, reached out and tugged at the corners of his mouth. "Can you stop looking so stern? Xia Xia is so scared of you she can barely speak." Tan Zheng raised an eyebrow. "You blame me?" Fine, it couldn't be blamed on him. Tan Zheng wasn't exactly stern; the most distancing feature about him was his indifferent eyes. He simply didn't take people seriously, and the faint curve of his lips added a touch of disdain. It was a look that said, "Stay away." But Song Ni loved this arrogant, untamed, and incredibly cool demeanor of his.

The weather in Yu City was overcast, with a light drizzle. Tan Zheng held a transparent umbrella in one hand and pushed the wheelchair with the other. They walked out of the gray mist, the apricot color like a missing, lazy beam of light. The girl in the wheelchair was gentle yet lively and playful. The man behind her created a quiet space for her, occasionally leaning down to listen to her soft words. It was like a beautiful painting, a picture of serene tranquility.

But some people couldn't stand such beauty. Lu Fang's mood had plummeted to the depths upon discovering that Liang Qian and Su Jingxi had a kissing scene today. Now, Song Ni and Tan Zheng's harmonious and loving display was a direct assault on his soul. "It's so cold, Brother Tan, you're too ungentle with your lady. At least bring a coat for sister-in-law." Perhaps from spending too much time with Tan Zheng, Lu Fang, who was usually reserved and inscrutable, displayed obvious agitation in his eyes today. Song Ni looked up at the two who were rehearsing their lines and raised an eyebrow, realizing why Lu Fang was so upset. Because of the kissing scene, they were very close even during rehearsal. From her angle, Su Jingxi had practically pulled Liang Qian into his embrace. Song Ni had read the script and knew that during the actual filming, they would be even more intimate than this. If he was already this angry, what would happen later?

Tan Zheng glanced at Lu Fang after hearing his words. Only when they reached the shelter of the eaves did he lower the umbrella, crouch beside Song Ni, hold her hand, and after feeling its warmth, adjust the blanket on her lap. This series of actions was fluid and silent, effectively silencing Lu Fang. Ungentle? Wasn't he taking good care of her? Seeing that Lu Fang was still wearing a coat, as if to add fuel to his fire, Song Ni lowered her head and planted a kiss on Tan Zheng's cheek. "My husband treats me very well."

"..." Song Ni wasn't sure if Lu Fang was angered, but Tan Zheng let out a chuckle at Song Ni's small gesture. Their good looks and demeanor were already striking, and with no female actress in the crew openly displaying affection like this, everyone on set turned to look at them. Even Liang Qian, who was rehearsing. As he turned his head to look at Song Ni, his gaze unexpectedly met Lu Fang's. Liang Qian's pupils contracted, his eyelashes trembled, and he nervously withdrew his gaze, lowering his head. *Why is he here?* Su Jingxi sensed her unusual behavior and, suppressing a tickle in his throat, asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Liang Qian finally realized how intimate his current pose with Su Jingxi was and how easily it could be misunderstood. Without thinking, she suddenly stood up, catching Su Jingxi off guard and bumping him backward. Seeing this, Liang Qian quickly reached out, but Su Jingxi had already stabilized himself. This commotion once again drew everyone's attention back to them, including Lu Fang.

Liang Qian frowned in annoyance. Even her usually impeccable emotional control was faltering. Su Jingxi was from the Su family and had heard some rumors. However, he couldn't confirm them until today's reaction from Liang Qian seemed to validate the gossip: the Lu family's heir was toyed with by a woman and entered the entertainment industry for revenge. So, was the formidable woman in the rumors Liang Qian? Su Jingxi pondered for a while, recalling the whispers in the circle about Liang Qian being targeted by the Lu Corporation. Su Jingxi was known in the industry for his gentle and refined demeanor, but that was just the public perception. While not a bad person, he was far from good and occasionally enjoyed seeing others in a bind. "Do you need my help?" His voice, still hoarse from his cold, was low enough for only Liang Qian to hear. "Hmm?" Liang Qian didn't understand Su Jingxi's intention, but he didn't give her time to figure it out. Lu Fang was staring this way, and if Liang Qian continued to stand there foolishly, she would reveal her hand. With that thought, Su Jingxi reached out and pulled Liang Qian back into his arms, leaning close to her ear. "To annoy that man for you." Liang Qian froze. Su Jingxi chuckled and called out her character's name. Following the script, their current actions were reasonable, and everyone would assume they were rehearsing, suspecting nothing. However, with cameras rolling, Su Jingxi spoke a few lines and, seizing an opportunity, whispered in Liang Qian's ear again, "Miss Liang, the great actress, you don't even know how to act out pissing off an ex?" Liang Qian finally snapped back to reality. She took two deep breaths, calming her nerves. She raised her eyebrows, a smile tugged at her lips, and her eyes turned seductive. Instantly, she transformed into the character Xiang Niang, even reciting her lines without a hint of awkwardness. Such intimacy, such affection, such a perfect match. Lu Fang was fuming.
