Chapter 1435: Allowing Su Manman Free Rein

Early the next morning, Su Manman carried a thermos and held the script in her hands. She sat in the meeting room as if she was an old retiree. She also put a facial mask on herself and tore a tiny hole in the mask so that she could read the script.

The other actors and crew members were confused…

No actress had dared to mess around before Director Chen Wenhua.

In her previous life, as Jiang Mingzhu, Su Manman had never lived so freely.

In this lifetime, other than pursuing Shi Hanchu, Su Manman’s wish was to live in a more carefree manner.

When Director Chen Wenhua arrived, Su Manman’s face mask shocked him. He asked Su Manman if it would affect her reading the script.

Since Su Manman said it wouldn’t affect her script reading, Director Chen Wenhua didn’t probe any further.

Everyone could see that Director Chen Wenhua was indulging Su Manman…

They couldn’t help but wonder how strong Su Manman’s background was that she was able to make Director Chen Wenhua, who had always been known for his bad temper, as docile ass an old horse.

Actually, what really made Director Chen Wenhua accommodate Su Manman’s antics was not her background.

It was Su Manman’s professionalism.

Because of her professionalism, Director Chen Wenhua, who had always felt that no one was perfect, was willing to be accommodating to Su Manman in other aspects.

All the actors and staff members, who arrived one after another, reminded Su Manman in a soft voice that it was time to remove her facial mask. Shi Hanchu was almost there too.

Su Manman then removed her mask.

Her face, which had no makeup on, was fair and tender, full of collagen. Even without makeup, she was still so beautiful that it made one’s heart throb.

After washing her hands and disinfecting them with antiseptic, she only applied facial cream, sunscreen, and light makeup.

Su Manman looked even more exquisite and beautiful.

When Shi Hanchu arrived, he saw Su Manman, who was so beautiful that she was glowing.

Su Manman smiled and waved at Shi Hanchu…

Shi Hanchu clenched his fists as he sat down next to Su Manman.

Shi Hanchu, who had been sitting with Su Manman for the entire afternoon, couldn’t calm down…

Because the scent of shower gel and shampoo on Su Manman’s body was identical to Jiang Mingzhu’s.

It was only a scent, but this… was enough to mess up Shi Hanchu’s heart.

Shi Hanchu put down his thermos and sat down. He saw Su Manman take some snacks from her bag and pass them to him.

“I think you’d been wanting to smoke yesterday but couldn’t!” Su Manman’s eyes were bright. “Eat some nuts when you feel the urge to smoke! It’s better for your health…”

Yesterday, she had seen Shi Hanchu subconsciously rub his thigh with his palms.

Su Manman understood Shi Hanchu too well. He did that only when he wanted to smoke.

Shi Hanchu was a gentleman… Since there were so many people in the meeting room, especially ladies and people who didn’t smoke, he held his urge to smoke.

Shi Hanchu accepted Su Manman’s kindness and asked her, “How did you know I wanted to smoke?”

Su Manman moved closer to Shi Hanchu and said in a low voice, “Because you kept rubbing your legs yesterday. My dad also smokes, and that’s how he would behave whenever his nicotine addiction kicks up because we won’t let him smoke at home.”

Only then did Shi Hanchu gently clench the nuts in his hand and thank Su Manman.

It turned out that he wasn’t the only one who had this habit.

Su Manman smiled at Shi Hanchu. “Then, don’t you think I’m virtuous?”

Shi Hanchu was amused by Su Manman…

Su Manman and Shi Hanchu were chatting and laughing when they heard the second female lead chuckle. There was an inexplicable meaning in her words. “Wow, God Shi and Manman’s relationship is great. They’re able to chat and laugh so early in the morning!”

Why did this sound so wrong?

Shi Hanchu looked towards the second female lead.

“Why? Are you jealous?” Su Manman didn’t give her any face at all. Her smile was bright and vibrant as she also looked in the direction of the second female lead. “If you’re jealous, why don’t you also chat and laugh with Senior Ren Shanze? Or are your social skills so poor that Senior Ren Shanze isn’t even willing to chat and laugh with you?”

Ren Shanze: “…”

What was going on?

“You…” The second female lead’s face turned red from Su Manman’s sharp words. “Do you think everyone is like you? It’s early in the morning, and everyone is preparing for their lines. Why are you acting all chummy with God Shi?”

“Are you jealous?” Su Manman repeated her question.

The second female lead bit her lower lip. “Just don’t let anything happen during the script reading later and affect the progress of others, wasting everyone’s time.”

Su Manman still had that calm smile on her face. “Then, I hope you also won’t delay others’ progress as you did yesterday, causing me to stay up late. It’s very important for a girl to have her beauty sleep. You may not care about your face, but I do!”

Seeing the tension between the two women, Director Chen Wenhua felt that the second female lead was indeed nosy. Shi Hanchu and Su Manman were just chatting and laughing with each other. Why was it bothering her?

She sounded so sour early in the morning…

Director Chen Wenhua didn’t have a good temper either. He knew that he would retaliate if he was in her shoes; therefore, he tolerated their conversation and continued discussing with the assistant director.

Su Manman glanced at the jealous second female lead with a hint of a smile on her face. She turned her head and continued speaking in a low voice to Shi Hanchu, “Do you want to consider knowing me?”

Su Manman’s words were clear…

Even Little Song, who was sitting behind Shi Hanchu, could tell what she meant. Su Manman… was chasing after Shi Hanchu!

As Su Manman and Shi Hanchu’s shipper, although Little Song had always known about it, his heart pounded very quickly when he heard the person in question say this.

Shi Hanchu didn’t know if it was because he was deliberately trying to irritate the second female lead, but he placed one hand on the back of Su Manman’s chair and casually placed the other on the table. He turned his head and whispered into Su Manman’s ear with a smile on his face, “Be serious during work hours!”

These words sounded as if they were very familiar. Su Manman’s ears turned red. She bit her lower lip. “Are you so close to me because you like me?”

“Tsk… I just want that second female lead to stay away from me!” Shi Hanchu said with a smile.

Last night, the second female lead went to knock on Shi Hanchu’s door. Shi Hanchu needed to maintain the gentle and elegant facade, so he couldn’t express his frustrations. It was still Little Song who helped to deal with her.

Early this morning, the second female lead went up to Shi Hanchu again, making him annoyed.

When Su Manman heard this, she felt infuriated. She glanced at the second female lead provocatively.

The second female lead was about to crush the script in her hands, and her expression was terrible. Shi Hanchu was so cold to her, but so nice to Su Manman…
