Chapter 209 My Wife Is Angry

On the day the new drama started filming, Shen Chaohuai said he would come to pick up Su Qi.

For some reason, Su Qi lingered at home for half an hour without going out.

Shen Chaohuai stood at the door and knocked: "Are you there?"

Su Qi took a deep breath: "No!"

He turned to leave, then suddenly realized: "How did you answer me when you weren't here?"

Su Qi didn't speak, because the more she thought about what happened that day, the angrier she became.

She didn't know why he got angry whenever she mentioned it; it was probably because of his words, "It's just a collaboration" and "New drama trailer."

He continued knocking on the door: "Okay, you'll be late later, or you'll be accused of being arrogant."

Su Qi got up and opened the door. Lynn drove up at that moment.

Seeing that Shen Chaohuai was about to pick up Su Qi to the film set, Lynn said very tactfully, "Oh, I suddenly remembered that the director asked me to go and discuss the contract. I'll go first, please take care of Mr. Shen."

Su Qi: "Hey?! I'm not going with him!"

Lynn's car had already sped off. She glanced at Shen Chaohuai beside her in a huff, then brushed past him.

She opened Shen Chaohuai's car door without any hesitation and sat directly in the passenger seat.

"You're quite impolite," Shen Chaohuai said with a slight upturn of his lips.

Su Qi fastened her seatbelt tightly: "It's not like my car is totaled and I haven't had time to buy a new one yet, so I'm not asking you for help."

Shen Chaohuai nodded and smiled: "Yes, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Su Qi rolled her eyes at him, and he stepped on the gas, sending the car flying. Su Qi almost hit her head.

"Could you slow down a bit?"

"No."

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

“It was intentional,” he said.

Su Qi went from rolling her eyes to glaring, and reached out to take control of the steering wheel in front of Shen Chaohuai.

The car was swerving wildly on the highway. The cars behind shouldn't have sped up to overtake it; they could only roll down their windows and yell at it from behind.

After a long while, Su Qi finally handed over control of the steering wheel to him.

How could he not know what Su Qi was angry about? But since she didn't say anything, he didn't dare to bring it up directly.

Because she would act spoiled and argue back, Shen Chaohuai had no way to deal with her.

Upon arriving at the film set, Lynn went up to her and hugged her: "How are things? How are things going with Shen Chaohuai?"

She pouted, her expression somewhat aggrieved, but it was subtle and not easily noticeable unless you looked closely.

"Did I bully you?" Lynn asked.

Su Qi didn't speak.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Lynn blocked Shen Chaohuai's path.

He was stunned.

Lynn yelled, "How can you treat your wife like this? Don't you know how to take care of someone?!"

All eyes turned to them: "Hmm? Is it another promotional performance for the start of filming?"

Shen Chaohuai blinked: "No... I..."

"What do you mean, 'what ...'? Hurry up and take her to the dressing room."

Shen Chaohuai nodded obediently: "Oh."

The tall man, who was over two meters tall, suddenly became unusually obedient, put his arm around Su Qi's shoulder, and walked into the dressing room.

Su Qi resisted, but she couldn't withstand Shen Chaohuai's strength.

He pressed Su Qi down to sit: "Alright, it's right here."

"Stop being temperamental, okay?" Shen Chaohuai bent down and squatted down to look at her eye level, then looked up slightly to look into her eyes.

He took her hands in his, and although she resisted somewhat, he held them tightly.

He spoke gently and coaxed softly, "I was wrong. I'll do anything you ask."

"I don't want to talk about our relationship in public anymore."

"I want to protect you."

"I know that some of my previous actions were not good for you."

Shen Chaohuai suddenly had a realization.

He had previously acted as a joke, wanting to assert his dominance in front of everyone, thinking it was a good thing for her. Little did he know that, given their respective statuses, it was actually the best policy for celebrities to keep a low profile.

“I don’t want it to really come to that, and I don’t want you to be known as my so-and-so when you go out in the future. You have your own name and don’t need to be associated with me.”

Su Qi looked up slightly at him: "Shen Chaohuai, is that really what you think?"

"Ah."

What am I to you?

Shen Chaohuai smiled, lowered his head, and said embarrassedly, "This can't be explained by anything."

"You are someone who is more important to me than family."

Su Qi felt much better after hearing this, but she didn't show it. She still had a sour face and said, "What? Could it be that we really had something going on in our past lives?"

She couldn't remember the past. Shen Chaohuai paused, then finally said, "Yes, not that there was a period of time, but rather, I am yours..."

He couldn't bring himself to say it; it was too cheesy.

Su Qi understood what he meant, and used her hand to cover his lips, interrupting him, "Alright, you can leave now, I still need to change my clothes and put on makeup."

Shen Chaohuai nodded: "Don't be angry, I'll do anything you ask, really."

"Then I'll leave first?"

Su Qi: "Do you really mean I'll do anything you ask?"

"Of course."

Su Qi had read the script beforehand. If she played the Empress, she could take the opportunity to bully the man who played the Empress's attendant.

A wicked thought was brewing in Shen Chaohuai's mind. At this moment, he had no idea what would happen next. He was just in a great mood and was showing off to the people around him that he looked different today.

The assistant chimed in at just the right moment: "Young Master Shen looks radiant today; good news must be on the horizon."

At the opening ceremony, the director was present, and Su Qi suddenly realized that the director of this drama was Xu Qiyuan.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

"Thank you, Nannan, for agreeing to act in the play I directed!"

Xu Qiyuan came up and hugged her: "What's wrong? Doesn't your little girl like seeing me?"

Su Qi looked at Shen Chaohuai, then at Xu Qiyuan: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"What's wrong?" Xu Qiyuan asked, puzzled.

Director Xu Qiyuan's dramas are all mediocre and have never produced any hits, so his own daughter, Xu Xiaowan, is constantly working on other production sets.

Knowing he was unreliable, Su Qi had almost given up hope.

"Why are you unhappy, little girl? I will not only give you more pay, but I will also not cut your scenes."

"Is it not good?"

Su Qi nodded and smiled, "Good, good, that's great!"

Shen Chaohuai sighed: "The revenue from this drama may not be very high, but I promised Director Xu that I would terminate my contract with Qingshan peacefully after this drama is finished, and then I wouldn't have to pay a termination fee."

Su Qi looked at him: "Then you can't bring me along?!"

"Then..." Su Qi suddenly thought of something, "Why did you terminate your contract? Do you not want to be an artist anymore?"

“No.” Shen Chaohuai shook his head.

"I want to create my own independent studio and follow the path of Li Yancheng and Gu Xing."

Xu Qiyuan also explained: "It would be best if Nannan could do the same in the future, terminate her contract with Tianhai as soon as possible, and set up her own studio. That way, the company wouldn't have to take kickbacks or be forced into marketing."

"I agreed to sign with Qingshan before to help Director Xu and support the company. Now that the time is right, I should leave."

Su Qi sighed. She did want to terminate her contract with Tianhai, but Cui Ying, the company's nominal boss, hadn't shown up yet, so she couldn't discuss terminating the contract.

“So,” Su Qi suddenly realized something, “all the pretense of being with me in public was just to pave the way for you to set up your own studio?”
