Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 374: Chapter 371

She suddenly sneezed.

“What’s wrong? Could you be catching a cold?” Ling Jie hurriedly fetched a cup of hot water.

As Wen Xian took it, she pulled out a tissue and dabbed at her nose, then spoke in a distracted manner,

“With one thing after another lately, it looks like I really need to take a good rest. After finishing this scene, I plan to take a break for a while.”

Acting was indeed exhausting, and it often involved irregular hours.

Moreover, the matter of her younger cousin still weighed on her mind, leaving her feeling quite uneasy.

Ling Jie patted her shoulder soothingly and said,

“No worries, I won’t rush you this time. After finishing this film, you can just rest all you want and do a few endorsements occasionally.”

As she said this, she seemed to suddenly remember something else and added,

“The only thing now is that as the national ambassador for the Animal Protection Association, you will participate in an event next year initiated by an international animal protection fund, going overseas for animal conservation.”

In fact, that was coming up fast because the end of the year was almost upon us.

By then, it was uncertain if someone would be assigned to protect her.

Wen Xian nodded her head and didn’t say much else.

Since being with Lu Xiao, she had gradually changed many of her own perspectives.

She wasn’t short on money and only wanted to do more meaningful things.

The city might be bustling, and people often schemed against one another, but at such times, she particularly loved the tranquility of Kekexili.

She wondered if she would ever have the chance to buy a small house there, to live a secluded life, peaceful and undisturbed.

Of course, with him.

Returning to the most primitive, simple life.

Afternoon.

When it was time to eat, all the crew gathered only to find that today’s ordinary boxed lunches had been replaced with signature dishes from a top Beijing restaurant.

The complete package of color, aroma, and taste stunned everyone.

Including Wen Xian, wrapped in her army green cotton coat, who gasped as she entered.

“Director, well done. Did you strike it rich in the stock market? You’re being really generous today.”

Ling Jie also teased Li Xun.

But Li Xun couldn’t stop smiling. He waved his hands and picked up the best portion of the meal and handed it to Wen Xian:

“Lucky star! Take this, the best is yours.”

Wen Xian was slightly startled.

The next second, she heard Li Xun wink at her and say, “So it turns out you know the president of Beijing Li’s New Energy Group?”

Wen Xian frowned immediately.

Who?!

Something about the name of that company sounded vaguely familiar.

Just then, a woman with an assistant in tow strolled over unhurriedly and said,

“You really are a top star, not only ensnaring my brother, Huo Family’s young master, but also hooking up with the big boss of a company.

Letting him invest an additional eight million in promotional funds for the crew because of you really is admirable, truly admirable. Unlike some of us who don’t have the talent to seduce men like that.”

Her sardonic voice made everyone aware that something was off.

Upon hearing this, Wen Xian narrowed her eyes and looked at the speaking woman.

This Cheng Feiyu really was repeatedly testing her patience.

Ignoring who the man was for the moment, Wen Xian glanced at her with a sarcastic smile and said,

“Can’t help it, who made you look ugly.”

At those words, Cheng Feiyu’s expression tightened, and her face also–
