Chapter 42 - Scars ("Xu Lisa, are you afraid of
me?") (2)

The kidnappers didn't know the skinny him back
then had chosen to not run away. It wasn't because
he couldn't, it was that he wanted to wait for an
opportunity to get revenge.

He was only able to cut through the ropes that had
bound him because he stole a knife from one of the
kidnappers. He had the knife with him the entire time.

He waited for the day that the group split up and took care of them one by one.

But he didn't want to scare the little girl with the
bloody story.

He curved his lips and gave her a wicked smile,
"Well? Are you still scared?"

"I" Xu Lisa paused for a little, then shook her head.

His smile deepened, and he moved closer to her and
pinned her on the wall. Placing one of his hands on
the wall, he said, "You didn't want to talk to me at all
when you come home, but you have the time to listen
to that Jiang guy. Is that appropriate, Xu Lisa?
Whatever happened to your excellent customer
service?"

His words made Xu Lisa speechless. After a little
while, she said quietly, "Tomorrow... Shen Mingyu, the male lead of 'Blossoming Us' will be joining the filming crew tomorrow. The director said there will be an opening ceremony afterward, so I won't be home for dinner."

"Shen Mingyu?" Mu Jungkook repeated the name and it took him a while to put the name with a face.

"The one standing next to you on Bai Jimin's birthday?"

Baffled, Xu Lisa quickly clarified. "There is
nothing going on between the two of us."

But Mu Jungkook only squinted again and said, "Your director is sure good at brown nosing. Alright, you go. Don't drink too much and don't come home too late."

..

Shen Mingyu joined the filming crew the next day and the crew focused madly on the scenes between the male and female leads. After the entire day, all the filming took a toll on Xu Lisa's body. Thinking about the opening ceremony dinner gave her a headache.

Xu Lisa returned to her nanny van after she was
done for the day, then she proceeded immediately
to change her clothes and reapply her makeup. As
the female lead, she was a little privileged - at least
she could arrive after the female support character,
Chang Yuqi.

She picked a black tube top nightgown with sequins
on the hem. Its built-in bustle made her look light and graceful. The short skirt covered up the important parts of her, and her white collarbone and long and slender legs were exposed for all to see. She was both cute and sexy.

The makeup artist put a decorative diamond at the
corner of her eyes. It looked like a drop of mermaid tear and made her look both mysterious and seductive.

When Xu Lisa arrived, most of the dishes had
already been served and everyone had already had
two rounds of drinks. Even the normally scholarly
Shen Yi had drank a little too much.

Xu Lisa stood under the grand crystal chandelier.

The light, reflecting on her body, made her look like
she was covered in crystals. Shen Mingyu's lazy look changed a little. He waved at her slightly and had her go and sit next to him.

Normally speaking, the male and female leads should
be sitting on both sides of the director and vice
director. But all the seats had been taken, so she had
no other options but to sit next to Shen Mingyu.

Chang Yuqi sat by the entrance area. Xu Lisa
barely looked over at her before she quickly took
her seat.

The director looked first at Xu Lisa, then over at
Shen Mingyu. Probably thinking that her being late was disrespectful to Shen Mingyu their guest he said to her "Why are you so late, Lisa? You should have a 3-drink penalty."

Nobody expected Shen Mingyu to pick up the bottle of red wine, pour some out for Xu Lisa, and say,
"Penalty, yes. But I will make the call that Lisa only
needs to have three sips."

And that's when the director realized that Shen Mingyu  was helping her out.

His eyes were beaming when he looked at her.
