“Help me tell the director. I’ll go outside and make a call. I’ll be back soon.”

After saying this to Wu Fan, Jian Tan got up and left the sunshade. He walked towards the open lawn outside.

Wu Fan’s manager was puzzled as he watched his artist leave.

Even when Jian Tan was more than 10 meters away from the lawn and there was only the breeze and grass beside him, no one picked up Xia Wei’s call.

Thinking that Xia Wei should be filming now and did not have her cell phone beside her, Jian Tan frowned regretfully. He was about to hang up and call again when a voice suddenly came from the other end!

“Hello? Is this Jian Tan?”

Best Actor Jian Tan felt his heart beat faster, but he did not realize that there was a gentle smile in her eyes. “Yes, it’s me. I’ve been busy filming this morning. I left my cell phone with Wu Fan, so 1 didn’t see your message. 1 didn’t mean not to reply to you. What’s wrong?”

Jian Tan’s voice was neither fast nor slow. It was even extremely loving and low.

After he said this, there was no more sound from the other end. If not for the noisy crowd talking in the speaker, Jian Tan would have thought that the cell phone signal was bad.

An unknown silence spread between the two of them. Jian Tan was very gentle and patient as he waited for Xia Wei to speak.

“Nothing. I just wanted to ask you why you didn’t go to the new episode of [Heartthrob TA]?” Xia Wei replied slowly. She gently pressed her left hand on her heart, as if this could calm her racing heart!

Jian Tan’s low voice was really lethal.

“1 heard from Brother Wang that he saw you at the company’s headquarters. You didn’t look too good at that time. 1…” I’m worried that you are sick.

Xia Wei paused for a moment. She did not know if she should continue, so she changed the topic stiffly. “The temperature difference between day and night has been quite big recently. Be careful to keep warm when you get to work. Don’t fall sick.”

Jian Tan chuckled when he heard that. He felt something soft and hot in his heart, even if it was just Xia Wei’s shallow concern for him for a brief moment. “Alright, I understand.”

Seeing that Xia Wei was silent again, Jian Tan thoughtfully picked up the topic. “I didn’t go this week because 1 had a very urgent job that coincided with the show’s schedule. After my studio weighed the pros and cons, they decided to take a week off from Director Zhao. There shouldn’t be any problems in the next episode. Let’s meet then.”

Xia Wei nodded slightly when she heard that and ignored the way Wang Ming and Luo Ying sized her up. However, she quickly realized that Jian Tan could not see her nodding. She mumbled softly and continued, “Alright, then you can continue with your work. The director is also calling for us to standby.”

“Alright, goodbye,” Jian Tan replied readily.

She quickly hung up the cell phone and looked up at her manager and assistant. Xia Wei stared at them with her beautiful eyes. “What are you looking at!”

Seeing this, Wang Ming narrowed his eyes and asked directly, “Why are you acting like a thief when you answer a call? What are you feeling guilty about? Who called? Tell me!”

“Sister Wei, something’s wrong with you, okay? Who is this call from? Why are you so happy?” It was rare for Luo Ying to be so sharp.

Lin Yi, who had already seen Lin Yi’s call notification showing “Jian Tan” before Xia Wei picked up the call, was speechless.

“Who’s guilty? It’s just that it’s too noisy here. I’m afraid the other party can’t hear me clearly. What nonsense are you two talking about?” Joy flashed across Xia Wei’s face unconsciously. She bluffed. “Are the two of you very free? Yingzi, go to the camper van and help me get my charger. My cell phone is going to runout of battery.”

Seeing that Wang Ming was about to retort, Xia Wei continued without stopping, “Brother Wang, go and see why the beverage we ordered hasn’t arrived yet. It won’t be good if this takeaway only arrives when the director calls it a day!”

Wang Ming and Luo Ying were instantly filled with arrangements.

Thinking that business was more important, Wang Ming let Xia Wei off for the time being. Luo Ying immediately turned around to get her things from the camper van because her boss’s orders could not be disobeyed.

Xia Wei glanced at their backs and heaved an imperceptible sigh of relief. She looked sideways at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi only looked at Xia Wei and turned around as if she did not know anything. Lin Yi thought to herself that it would have been great if she had been blind a moment ago..
