Chapter 919: Final Chapter Before Death (6)

By the time she arrived at the set, it was intermission time.

Li Beinian had meticulously examined herself for a long time, to ensure that there were no traces of what had gone on, before she left the house.

However, when everyone’s eyes fell on her, she couldn’t help feeling awkward.

When the director saw Li Beinian approaching, he looked at the time and said with a strange expression, “You’re a little late. Try to be earlier in the future. Since it’s this late now, let’s film the night scenes. Have you eaten? We’ll start filming after dinner.”

Li Beinian smiled awkwardly and nodded. “Thank you, Director.”

The director ignored her and turned to talk to the assistant director.

Liu Wei had just finished filming a scene and was delighted to see Li Beinian. She walked towards her and said, “You’re finally here. How are you feeling?”

“Not… not bad.”

“For sure?” Liu Wei looked at Li Beinian’s abdomen. “Oh my god, aren’t you just a little too tough. You really didn’t know that you’re pregnant? You’ve been performing many action scenes. Fortunately, there’s been no accident, otherwise, we’d be terrified!”

Liu Wei spoke rather loudly like she always did. Her remarks quickly attracted the attention of others.

Initially, Li Beinian was worried, but now as she met their gazes, she realized that they didn’t seem surprised at all!

She immediately felt awkward and asked, “Sister Wei, how did you know?”

“Of course I know,” Liu Wei said as-a-matter-of-factly. “And it’s not just me. Everyone else in the crew knows too.”

Li Beinian widened her eyes. “How did everyone know?”

“CEO Gu said so. He’s even instructed everyone to take good care of you. Now, you’re a VIP.”

“Gu Mingye said that?”

Liu Wei nodded. Guan Yueyun chipped in, “It wasn’t just CEO Gu who said it. Now, it’s all over the internet that you and Nian’s Hubby were spotted at the OB / GYN Department. And your husband was smiling like a fool as the both of you left the hospital.”

Xiao Guan handed the phone to Li Beinian. “This is very obvious.”

Jiang Chun, having spotted them from afar, wanted to join in the fun as well. Unexpectedly, the moment he got close, he was stopped by the sharp-eyed Liu Wei. “Stop!”

Jiang Chun asked innocently, “What’s wrong?”

“You’re a smoker. Second-hand smoke is bad for pregnant women. And recently, you’ve been smoking cigars. Eh… don’t come any closer!”

At a loss for a response, the man raised his hands helplessly and said, “Fine, fine, fine. I won’t come near you. But, Beinian, have you eaten?”

“My husband will bring me food later.” Li Beinian was a little embarrassed. “I’ve asked him to order food for everyone. There should be more than enough food. Those who haven’t eaten may join us.”

Just as she said this, she heard a commotion outside.

A grand-looking dining cart was pushed in. There were all sorts of Chinese and Western dishes. What was even more dramatic, was that a few chefs walked in right behind it!

Everyone was stunned by the sight of this!

Li Beinian too, was taken aback and her gaze subconsciously wandered to the back of the crowd.

Mu Xichen had promised to come over to have dinner with her. Where was he?

She picked up her cell phone and dialed the man’s number. It was answered by a mechanical female voice.

The line was busy.

Noticing that Li Beinian was on the phone, one of the chefs parked the dining cart aside and said, “Mrs. Mu, Mr. Mu is making a call outside. He would like you to wait for him here, he will come in soon.”
