Chapter 1457: Worried Heart
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After reaching an agreement, Shi Hanchu didn’t go back on his word. Su Manman ended her acupuncture treatment and went to eat with Shi Hanchu the next day.
“Are you planning to keep taking me to the treatment every three days?” Su Manman looked at Shi Hanchu, who was sitting opposite her.
“If I don’t have the time, I’ll ask Dong Dong to accompany you…”
“Do you think you can control me?” Su Manman smiled.
Shi Hanchu could clearly sense that ever since he discovered that Su Manman’s taste buds had yet to recover…
Or rather, ever since he stayed in the hospital that night, Su Manman’s attitude towards him was a little strange.
She was deliberately picking on him.
“You’ll go for the treatment not for yourself, but because you love and care about your family.” Shi Hanchu’s long and slender fingers gripped the pen as he wrote down another dish on his notebook.
Shi Hanchu avoided Su Manman’s sharp glare, and his attitude towards the treatment of her tongue wasn’t as forceful as before. Su Manman was momentarily at a loss.
The two of them ordered a large table of dishes. Shi Hanchu only took a bite of each dish to let Su Manman know the taste.
Su Manman lazily leaned against the chair and looked at Shi Hanchu. It was only when Shi Hanchu handed her the notebook that Su Manman took a quick glance at it. She closed the notebook in her hand and asked Shi Hanchu, “Shi Hanchu, you keep treating me like this, knowing that I like you. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll misunderstand that you like me and pester you?”
Shi Hanchu wiped his mouth with a napkin and said slowly to Su Manman, “To be honest, Manman, I don’t intend to find a girlfriend or wife in this lifetime, so you don’t have to waste your time on me.”
“Are you really going to keep Jiang Mingzhu in your heart for the rest of your life?” Su Manman smiled, but her smile didn’t reach her eyes.
“It’s not that. To tell you the truth, I probably won’t live past the age of thirty-five…” Shi Hanchu calmly explained, “I probably still have two more years to live. Why waste your time?”
Su Manman felt that Shi Hanchu was just making up stuff to reject her. Her clear eyes blinked. “You have a terminal illness?”
“Back then, after Old Master Su rescued me, he suggested that I go to the hospital to check on my heart. My heart is indeed not in a good condition…”
Su Manman frowned and stared at Shi Hanchu.
Shi Hanchu didn’t look like he had a heart disease at all. He had been running and exercising every day! Could people with a heart disease run and exercise rigorously?
Shi Hanchu had never failed to come to set to film his scenes.
If he couldn’t live past 35 years old, didn’t that mean his heart disease was rather severe?
Was this a lie that Shi Hanchu was using to reject her?
“Do you think you look like a person with a heart disease? You do your own fight scenes yourself. Why don’t you find an excuse to say that you have a terminal illness? That might be more credible…” Su Manman revealed a polite smile, her eyes slightly narrowed, appearing especially pretty.
“In the field of medicine, I believe in Old Master Su. Old Master Su said… that appropriate exercise is beneficial to me and got me to pace myself. As long as I don’t suffer from shortness of breath or short, sharp pain, it’s still acceptable,” Shi Hanchu explained seriously to Su Manman.
Su Manman merely nodded and smiled. “I got it.” She then picked up the notebook and smiled as she waved it at Shi Hanchu, got up and walked out…
The moment she turned around, Su Manman’s expression turned awful.
What was this bullshit about a bad heart? Shi Hanchu’s excuse for rejecting her was getting more and more perfunctory.
…
“What’s going on these past few days? Why doesn’t Manman seem to be in a good mood?” Dong Dong looked at Su Manman, who was being interviewed on the show, and asked Yang Weiyi.
Yang Weiyi didn’t know either, but she could indeed sense that Su Manman had been in a bad mood lately.
Even though she was smiling at everyone on stage now, her smile wasn’t genuine.
In the past, as long as Shi Hanchu was present, Su Manman’s smile would be especially sweet and beautiful. But today…
Her smile looked very distant.
After getting off the show, Dong Dong passed Su Manman a cup of warm water. Su Manman took the phone and dialed Tu Jie’s number. “Brother Jie, there hasn’t been enough work for me. Other people’s managers can’t wait to exploit their artists to the max, but you… you’re giving me just a few jobs to me every day!”
Dong dong widened his eyes. Was Su Manman thinking that her current workload was not big enough?
Her assistants couldn’t take it anymore, but Su Manman requested to increase their workload.
But what could you do if you chose to follow a workaholic boss? Of course, you should continue following your boss…
A fast-paced and busy life would make Su Manman forget Shi Hanchu.
Moreover, she really needed to use good works to speak for talent.
Tu Jie selected two movies for Su Manman. Both movies were by good directors. Su Manman would play as the main cast in one movie… while in the other one, she would be a supporting character.
The main character was the same type as Elder Feng Yi, who Su Manman had played previously. Tu Jie felt that playing a similar role would be very useful to strengthen Su Manman’s image.
The supporting role was another type of gentle and noble lady. It was a role that Tu Jie hoped could give Su Manman a new challenge.
Tu Jie told her to choose one, but Su Manman chose both scripts.
Even though the two movies were scheduled to be shot at the same time, Su Manman was confident that she could film both movies with no issues.
Su Manman’s greatest talent was having a lot of masks in her bones. These masks were tailor-made for her role and she could take them off at any time.
Just as the two movies were about to wrap up, Director Chen Wenhua received news that Su Manman had managed to win the best supporting role and best newcomer through the drama, “The Olden Days”.
Director Chen Wenhua sent the movie to the Hundred Flowers Film Festival. Su Manman was nominated for the Best Actress Award with her superb acting skills!
Director Chen Wenhua predicted that Su Manman would also earn the Best Actress Award. She would be the most popular newcomer this year, with no one else coming close…
Things were progressing as Director Chen Wenhua predicted!
However, Su Manman didn’t appear at the venue to receive the award that night. She was supposedly… on set filming another movie and couldn’t spare some time to receive the award.
Fans called the Elder willful, always living as she pleased…
Such claims clearly showed veiled contempt!
Her fans were extremely arrogant.
It was unknown what Director Chen Wenhua was thinking. Originally, in order to be serious, Su Manman had entrusted Director Chen Wenhua to accept the award for her. However, Director Chen Wenhua pushed Shi Hanchu to the stage to receive the award for her.
This caused Su Manman and Shi Hanchu’s shippers to celebrate.
On the other hand, Dong Dong, who had infiltrated the shippers’ groups, remained silent…
She knew that Su Manman had not seen Shi Hanchu in a long time. She didn’t even attend such a grand film festival because she didn’t want to meet Shi Hanchu.
Looking at Su Manman, who was wearing her costume and reading the script quietly under the light, as a shipper, Dong Dong felt very anxious.
