Chapter 908 -910: Parting and Union (4)
Yu Sixing was truly angry this time. Besides being angry, there hadn’t been any woman by his side during the two months they were apart, and on top of that, he had been drinking.
Behind the table was a small wooden bed. Normally, just turning over in it would make it creak noisily. That night, it was as if a symphony was playing. And it seemed deliberately loud, as if Yu Sixing intended it to be earth-shattering.
Afterwards, he didn’t stay for a moment longer; he simply left without saying a word to her the whole time, taking out the keys, opening the door, and walking out.
What did he mean by this? It was she who had proposed the conditions, and he was dissatisfied, wasn’t he? The Yu Family’s wealth was vast; he wouldn’t even glance at such an amount of money. Or was he just trying to assert his authority? She didn’t want to have a proper relationship with him, fine, he wouldn’t be courteous either. Since she didn’t want the girlfriend status, he might as well treat her like the kind that gets paid for their services.
He was telling her not to push her luck. After all, she had already signed the contract, and she couldn’t escape from his Five Finger Mountain. If she dared to leave, he would dare to enforce the contract and saddle her with a sky-high compensation fee. How could she forget? This guy was a bandit; he had even found out where her mother lived back in the small town, and he had plenty of opportunities to make her life a disaster and leave her owing a great debt.
So, she would never be able to escape his Five Finger Mountain? She didn’t want that! Who did Yu Sixing think she was, to come and go as he pleased? She didn’t want to be entangled with him anymore, she really didn’t!
However, the more pressing issue at hand was.
This was overseas, and in a small town at that. Everyone knows about small towns abroad; they’re different from those in China. There aren’t 24-hour pharmacies, and the medical system is different; usually, it’s family doctors for minor illnesses. Even to buy medicine, one might have to travel dozens of kilometers to another town. The incident had happened suddenly, naturally without any protective measures. Even if they wanted to buy something, they were strangers in a foreign land, not even able to speak the local language. Moreover, they had to film the next day, and it was the final major scene, which might not be wrapped up within a single day. Delays of two or three days would mean missing the opportunity. Her schedule was packed; going to buy medicine would take at least two or three hours for the round trip, and she simply couldn’t spare that time now, nor did she know where to buy it.
Considering the timing, this was not her safe period. If she hit the jackpot this time, she wouldn’t even be able to cry about it.
There was no choice but to find some time tomorrow for the assistant to make a trip to the town.
After tidying up briefly, Xue Feifei continued lying down. She knew the tasks ahead for the next day were daunting and forced herself to rest, yet she just couldn’t fall asleep. Especially since the room still permeated with that scent; she had already been exhausted these days, running on little sleep and with martial arts moves and wire-work requiring sheer willpower to sustain her. Yu Sixing’s recent action only made her feel bone-deep soreness.
With difficulty, she managed to doze off for a bit, adamant on not letting others see her dark circles and even got up extra early to apply a hot towel compress. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
She went to the set with forced liveliness; Director Zhao and the martial arts coordinator were discussing the film. Today’s scene involved explosions and arrows, and although the arrowheads were blunted, accidents could still happen. In the middle of the discussion, Xue Feifei couldn’t help but yawn. Xiang Yirou glanced at her, about to say something when someone reported, “Young Master Yu has arrived.”
