Sweetest Top Actress in My Home

"I will be joining the film's cast soon and I will have to stay there for at least three months after. Director Shen Guobang is well known for being extremely strict. I will not even be able to apply for leave to come home and see you on the days that I am not working. I am really sad because I have so little time left with you. You are not home during the day, so all I can do is to spend as much time as I can with you when you are home at night."

Yes, Director Shen Guobang was indeed well known for his strictness.

But…surely there would be room for negotiation, right?

Jiang Yuning did not know that Shen Guobang was in fact Lu Jingzhi's father's classmate in the past.

Lu Jingzhi smiled secretly. He knew that Jiang Yuning was feeling really distressed and felt that he owed her something because he rarely had time to accompany her during the day.

"I want a kiss."

Lu Jingzhi put his hands around Jiang Yuning's waist and pulled her closer to him, before he sat her down on his lap and kissed her gently on her lips.

"Why such a short kiss?"

Lu Jingzhi held her face in his hands as he French kissed her.

"You are not allowed to look at any other women when I am not around!"

"Is Sister Liang included?" Lu Jingzhi asked as he smiled at Jiang Yuning.

"You must miss me when I am not around." When Jiang Yuning spoke those words, there were tears in her eyes and she felt wronged. She placed her arms around Lu Jingzhi's neck and hugged him tightly as she said, "This is all your fault. You have spoiled me so much and that is why I cannot stand to be apart from you now."

After hearing Jiang Yuning's words, Lu Jingzhi put her down on the reclining chair before he said, "Remember that you are not allow to laugh and smile, or to speak to anyone in a coquettish tone after you join the cast."

"What are you talking about? Only you have that privilege."

"Be good and do not make me worry about you," Lu Jingzhi replied as he wiped Jiang Yuning's lips with his fingertips. "Try not to get into trouble because I am afraid that I will not be able to protect you in time."

Very soon, the courtyard was filled with not only sounds from the movie itself. Jiang Yuning could not control her urges and before she even knew what was happening, Lu Jingzhi had already taken control of the situation.

It…was really an amazing and indescribable night.

In the end, Lu Jingzhi did not inform Jiang Yuning that he would be able to drop by her shooting location to see her whenever she missed him. This was a benefit that he had personally requested from Director Shen Guobang when he called him earlier. This was how he wanted to surprise Jiang Yuning.

Lu Jingzhi carried Jiang Yuning back into the bedroom in the middle of the night. However, as soon as he placed her on the bed, Jiang Yuning woke up and instantly looked for Lu Jingzhi. She was only willing to go back to bed after Lu Jingzhi hugged her tightly in his arms.

Lu Jingzhi could only sigh helplessly.

When it came to Jiang Yuning, there was nothing much that he could do to comfort her.

…

<Mysteries of Heaven> was about to start filming but even then, nobody knew who would take on the role of the third female lead. Director Shen Guobang's team had done a perfect job at keeping the information a secret.

The entire crew had faith in Director Shen Guobang's decision because he had never once made a wrong selection. If he decided that the actress was the perfect choice, it would almost always be accurate as an average actress would not have caught his attention in the first place.

However, this was because the crew did not know that the actress that Director Shen Guobang had decided on was in fact Jiang Yuning. If they saw her, they would not think this way anymore.

Jiang Yuning spent the entire next day packing her luggage at home. Vera called her to inform her that the online gaming company was unable to wait a few months for her, but the international cosmetics brand had decided to wait that few months for Jiang Yuning as their boss really loved how Jiang Yuning looked in the ancient-style makeup. Therefore, if Jiang Yuning agreed, Vera would sign a contract with them for Jiang Yuning to be their brand ambassador.

They had also inquired about the identity of the god of war in the short video <Ye Ji> as they wanted to cast him and offer him a contract too.

However, Vera immediately informed them that it would not be convenient for her to reveal the identity of the other party because he was not an actor or anyone making a living within the entertainment industry.

Therefore, the manager had no choice but to give up.

Who were they kidding? If Lu Jingzhi's identity was exposed, it would definitely create a huge commotion in the entertainment industry.

…

When he reached home later that evening, Lu Jingzhi saw Jiang Yuning's packed luggage in the living room as soon as he stepped into the house.

He quickly managed his own emotions before he walked upstairs to the bedroom to look for Jiang Yuning. When he saw her lying on the bed, he quickly asked, "Have you finished packing your luggage?"

"Yes, second brother. I am also bringing one of your shirts and your pillow with me," Jiang Yuning replied as she sat up on the bed.

Lu Jingzhi walked up to her and bent down to kiss her cheek. "Do you really need to go to that extent?"

"I need more love!"

Lu Jingzhi sighed before he stood upright and rested Jiang Yuning's head against his stomach. "We are already married, Ningning. Do you know what marriage means? It means that we will never be separated again in this lifetime."

"I did not intend to tell you this but…forget it," Lu Jingzhi said as he sighed. "I have a deep friendship with Director Shen Guobang because of my father. As long as you miss me, I will drive over to your filming location to see you immediately, no matter what time it is…"

"Just ignore me. It is my first time being separated from my lover," Jiang Yuning replied as she buried her head in Lu Jingzhi's stomach.

"Silly girl."

Anyway, it was a huge comfort to Jiang Yuning when she found out that Lu Jingzhi would be able to visit her whenever she missed him.

She was extremely affectionate because this was her first love after all.

Vera arrived on time in front of the villa early the next morning. When she saw Jiang Yuning carrying a box in her hands as she walked out of the villa, Vera quickly rushed over to her to help her with the box. "I thought that you would be holding on to Mr. Lu and refusing to let go. I was expecting you to cry for at least three hours before you are willing to leave with me."

"I really wanted to do that."

"But I had managed to take a few more videos of second brother last night, so I think I will be able to make it through the day."

"It will be this way for quite a while so you had better get used to being without him already."

"I do not want to get used to it," Jiang Yuning refused immediately. "You do not know how good it is to have a husband."

Vera rolled her eyes before she replied, "Who would dare to compare their husbands to yours!"

"That is true."

After Jiang Yuning finished speaking, she turned around to look at the villa one last time before she got into Vera's car.

"There will be an introduction ceremony later in the afternoon. I have already taken a look at the list of the cast members. I am a little worried because you have never met any of them before," Vera said. Director Shen Guobang had kept the news that Jiang Yuning would be playing the role of the third female lead a secret all this while and this piece of information would finally be revealed later in the afternoon. Vera felt that the other co-actresses would definitely not be surprised, but they would be shocked instead upon seeing Jiang Yuning.

Jiang Yuning understood the meaning behind Vera's words but she was not afraid. "It does not matter. I can still endure it as long as they do not go overboard."

"In addition to many young actors and actresses, there are also some hardcore and old opera actors who will be starring in <Mysteries of Heaven> with you. Their qualifications and experience are all first class in the industry. They will definitely despise and look down on you when you join the cast. However, I have heard rumors that there is an actress named Qian Ge who is very humble, warm, and popular amongst the cast. She will be playing the role of the second female lead. You can try to get close to her and mingle with her during your time there," Vera instructed Jiang Yuning. "I will not be able to follow you around every day because I want to work on getting more resources and job opportunities for you after this shoot is done."

"You can just send the young paparazzo to come and accompany me. He is very intelligent and dependable," Jiang Yuning replied as she looked down at her cell phone.

She did not believe in any rumors.

After all, how many people were sincere and true in the entertainment industry?

Vera realized that Jiang Yuning was not in the mood for a conversation after getting into the car. Therefore, she chose to remain silent as she drove.

This person really had different personalities. She was always so happy and talkative in front of Lu Jingzhi but whenever she got into the working mood, she was always so serious that it was rather scary at times.
