"Cut!" The director waved his hand. "Xia Xingchi......are you not in a good state today?"

Director Zhang was notoriously strict with the production crew, but when facing Xia Xingchi, his attitude could be called quite gentle – there was no one who wouldn't like a high-efficiency entertainer who was full of a worker's spirit. Not to mention that Xia Xingchi was the film crew's financial backer and the biggest investor in the whole show.

He was said to be "not in a good state," but did not repeat NG, and others couldn't see the difference at all.

Only Zhang Dao's precise and piercing eyes could detect that he seemed a little off today, as if he had something else on his mind.

Xia Xingchi apologized after hearing this: "I'm sorry, Director Zhang. I'll find the right state again."

"Did you not rest well?" Director Zhang didn't make him continue. "How about you take it easy today, ba."

Xia Xingchi had always been efficient, and the filming progress was ahead of schedule, so it was completely fine to postpone it today. Plus, the movie was being filmed in the capital, so now he could go home directly after getting off work.

Anyone with eyes knew that this young couple had been married for more than three years and was still so lovey-dovey. They could often see Li Chengyuan coming to pick up his lover to go home after work.

When he wasn't busy, Li Chengyuan would even sit with the sweating crew for the whole day, and Xia Xingchi couldn't even drive him away. He was quite hardcore and down-to-earth about visiting.

"Xingchi, why haven't we seen Mr. Li these days?" One person asked.

When Li Chengyuan came, he would usually either give the whole crew an unlimited buffet or reimburse them for a luxurious meal, but they hadn't seen him for three consecutive days. Combined with Xia Xingchi's absent state —

Did they have a fight?

As soon as the question was asked, everyone immediately pricked up their gossip ears. But in their hearts, they estimated that based on Boss Li's tolerance and exclusive tenderness toward Xia Xingchi, it was nearly impossible for the two of them to quarrel and wage a cold war for three full days.

Unexpectedly, when Li Chengyuan was mentioned, Xia Xingchi's expression froze in a rare way.

Then he just pretended as if nothing had happened: "He's been busy with a new project recently......he left home on a business trip."

After saying this, without waiting for anyone to say anything else, he ran away in a hurry along with the confused assistant who had just packed up his things.

Xia Xingchi opened the car door while looking at his phone, and was dialing the number to call the landline at home, when he looked up and saw the small blanket in the backseat which should have been empty.

There was something like a small animal in the middle of the blanket, trying to get out. But it was too small and the blanket was too heavy, so it wrapped itself up tighter and tighter as it struggled.

Xia Xingchi was taken aback at the sight: "This, how did he get here?"

He got into the car as he spoke, picked up the blanket with the unknown animal inside, and put it on his lap.

Secretary Ye, in the passenger seat, could only give a guilty smile upon hearing these words. She greeted Xia Xingchi timidly but didn't answer his question, obviously not daring to say more.

For the time being, Xia Xingchi stopped embarrassing the hourly employee caught in the middle, and instead lowered his head to pull open the blanket.

A small, fluffy white tail was exposed from the soft, dark gray cashmere blanket. Seeing this, Xia Xingchi couldn't help but reach out and flick his little butt.
