I Became the White Moonlight’s Ex-Wife (GL) - Chapter 12

Shen Manhui still couldn’t get the scene right. Su Qiao saw that this wasn’t going anywhere, so he decided to wrap it up for now and continue after the lunch break.

The midday sun was hot, so Wen Su naturally hid in the air-conditioned room to eat. Originally, she was supposed to go out for lunch with Chu Jingshu, but it took a lot of time to change out of her costume and do her makeup, so she just told Chu Jingshu to eat the boxed lunch provided by the crew with her.

It was Chu Jingshu’s first time eating on a movie set, and she didn’t find anything wrong with it. Wen Su had filmed a lot of action scenes in the morning and was both tired and hungry, so she ate much faster than usual.

Chu Jingshu, who didn’t have much of an appetite, found herself hungry from watching Wen Su eat, and she ate quite a bit.

“Isn’t your company busy?”

Chu Jingshu, who was lost in thought about Shen Manhui, snapped back to reality. She was about to say that everything was more or less settled, but then she remembered Wen Su had brought up the divorce. As if possessed, she changed her mind. “…It’s still very busy. I just gave them a case to work on and snuck out for a break.”

As soon as she said it, Chu Jingshu felt guilty. They had agreed that as soon as she found someone she liked, they would divorce. Now, with Wen Su’s aunt’s help, the company was stable, and after this, they could completely get rid of the parasites. But she had lied to Wen Su.

Chu Jingshu thought about it and comforted herself that she was doing this to help Wen Su find a suitable girl. Who knew if Shen Manhui was just after the Wen family’s money? She had rejected her before, and now she was playing hard to get—

Chu Jingshu asked, “Is Shen Manhui’s acting always like this?” She felt that something was wrong. Was Shen Manhui’s acting really that bad, or was she deliberately trying to provoke her? After all, she was still Wen Su’s legal wife.

She was already asking about Shen Manhui?

Wen Su calmly swallowed the food in her mouth. “She’s not in a good state today. She can usually get a scene in three takes. Her acting is good.” With that, she carefully watched Chu Jingshu’s expression.

That was a normal number of takes. Su Qiao was a top director, and he had high standards for his actors. Getting a scene in three takes in his hands meant the actor was very solid. Someone like Wen Su, who could do it in one take, was rare. That was why the other actors called her “One-Take Wen.”

To her surprise, Chu Jingshu’s eyebrows furrowed after hearing her. Wen Su figured she was doubting the credibility of her words, so she complimented her again. “Shen Manhui is very hardworking. Even as a top actress, she takes her work seriously. She’s calm and patient. She’s the type of actress who relies on hard work.”

This only made Chu Jingshu’s face grow colder.

Wen Su didn’t know what she had said to upset her, so she just shut her mouth and stopped talking about Shen Manhui.

Forget it, why would I get into this kind of mess? I should let Shen Manhui try to win her over herself.

Just from Wen Su’s words, Chu Jingshu was convinced that she was being fooled by Shen Manhui. She had never heard Wen Su praise anyone like this before.

This Shen Manhui was truly a schemer. She was playing hard to get, and Wen Su was falling for it. First, she chose a show to get on Wen Su’s good side, then she rejected her, and now she was lowering her value to be her supporting actress.

And now that she had come to visit Wen Su on set, Shen Manhui was deliberately messing up her lines, making her watch Wen Su lie in her arms and confess her feelings. It was supposed to be a scene where she rejected him, but she was acting like she was unwilling to let him go and had fallen for him.

She was clearly trying to make her sick to her stomach!

Chu Jingshu’s face went cold. She could not let a woman like this get close to Wen Su.

Looking at Wen Su fighting with her chicken leg, Chu Jingshu made a decision.

This was her way of repaying Wen Su for helping her. She would not divorce Wen Su until Wen Su gave up on Shen Manhui.

Wen Su, who had no idea what kind of trouble she had just caused for Shen Manhui, was happily eating her chicken leg. Since they didn’t finish filming in the morning and it was getting dark later in the day, the filming time would be extended. They didn’t know when they would finish in the afternoon.

“Ah-choo—”

It was just the two of them, so if it wasn’t her, it had to be Chu Jingshu.

She looked up and saw goosebumps on Chu Jingshu’s arms.

Wen Su got up and handed her jacket to Chu Jingshu. “The costume is thick, so the air conditioning can’t be set higher. Wear this jacket.”

This temperature was just right for her. If it were any warmer, she would start to sweat. She could only make Chu Jingshu wear her jacket.

Chu Jingshu took the jacket from her and smiled brightly. “Thank you.”

Wen Su didn’t say anything and continued to eat.

Chu Jingshu put on the jacket and was momentarily lost in the familiar scent. She felt a bit emotional.

Wen Su seemed arrogant, but she was actually very easy to get along with and was completely naive when it came to relationships. It was funny that someone who seemed so sharp could be fooled by Shen Manhui. She was surprisingly innocent.

Thinking about this, Chu Jingshu found it amusing but also a little uncomfortable.

How could Wen Su be fooled by Shen Manhui? If it were someone prettier, she could understand that Wen Su was blinded by beauty. But Shen Manhui wasn’t that pretty. It could only mean that Wen Su valued inner qualities.

This made Chu Jingshu even more uncomfortable. All her life, from friends to elders, everyone had liked her. But when it came to Wen Su, she was hitting a wall.

Chu Jingshu pretended to eat some vegetables, her eyes subtly falling on Wen Su.

Perhaps she should be more proactive and let Wen Su know what kind of girl truly cared for her so she wouldn’t be fooled by a schemer like Shen Manhui.

Wen Su, who was wiping her mouth, suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

It was no wonder Chu Jingshu felt cold; even she felt a little chilly.

Chu Jingshu had planned to leave after lunch, but thinking about Shen Manhui, she decided to wait until they passed the scene that had been a problem in the morning.

Wen Su wanted to take a short nap, but since Chu Jingshu didn’t leave, she couldn’t just leave her and go to sleep. Chu Jingshu didn’t mind. She saw Wen Su yawn and was infected, so they both napped for a little while.

But only Wen Su was truly asleep. Chu Jingshu openly watched her and secretly took a few photos.

Only when Xiao Sheng came to wake them up did Chu Jingshu pretend to be asleep.

After a long half-hour rest, Wen Su felt much more refreshed. She went back to the set to touch up her makeup and get ready to film.

Chu Jingshu’s worries didn’t come true. Shen Manhui didn’t mess up again. Whether it was because Shen Manhui was well-rested or had figured something out, the scene was finally done after three more takes.

The staff breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Jingshu was about to leave the set. Since Wen Su had to work, she asked Xiao Sheng to take her.

Before leaving, Chu Jingshu unexpectedly gave Wen Su a hug. Wen Su didn’t even react, but Chu Jingshu had already let go and gotten into the car with Xiao Sheng.

Even though she didn’t understand why Chu Jingshu suddenly hugged her, Wen Su didn’t think much of it and went back to the set to continue filming.

Her scenes with Shen Manhui were over for the day, so she could finally relax a little.

During a break, Wen Su was lazily sitting on a chair inside, scrolling through her phone. Her assistant was filming some behind-the-scenes content for promotional material.

When she opened WeChat, she saw that Chu Jingshu had sent her a message earlier. She clicked on it and saw the photo they had taken together in the morning.

Chu Jingshu: I’m going to send this picture to our parents. My Wen family brother 😉

Wen Su rolled her eyes. How could she even bring that up?

She quickly typed a few words and sent them.

Chu Jingshu, who had just returned home from the airport and was in her study to handle some business, heard her phone and opened WeChat—

Wen Su: Little liar.

Chu Jingshu was stunned. The next moment, she smiled. Even though she was two months younger, she was calling her a “little liar.”

That night, Wen Su received a call from her father. He must have seen the photo Chu Jingshu sent. He hinted at Chu Jingshu visiting the set and mentioned that one of their cousins had a second child.

After hanging up, Wen Su belatedly realized that her father was hinting at them to make plans for a baby soon. For a moment, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

She thought that was the end of it, but her father kept sending her pictures of babies every few days, from her cousins’ kids to her younger cousin who had just graduated last year and had already had a baby.

The screen filled with photos of babies made Wen Su feel mentally exhausted. She was so close to blocking her father. Her replies went from “Very cute” to “…” and eventually to nothing.

Her father understood his daughter’s personality. He didn’t want her to have a baby right away; he just wanted to get the idea in her head.

Wen Su couldn’t tell them that she was going to divorce Chu Jingshu and that a baby was basically out of the question, so she just pretended not to see her father’s messages.

Besides her father, Chu Jingshu was also acting strangely.

Since her visit to the set, Chu Jingshu messaged her on WeChat every day, talking about funny little things in her daily life and sometimes calling her.

At first, Wen Su was surprised, but then she realized that Chu Jingshu was indeed charming. She could find interesting things around her every day and was able to infect those around her.

In just half a month, Wen Su started seeing her as a friend and would occasionally make a few harmless jokes that didn’t go against her character.

At the same time, the crew edited the behind-the-scenes footage and posted it on their official Weibo to create some buzz. The main actors, except for Wen Su, would occasionally post selfies to cooperate with the crew, and netizens ate it up.

Because Wen Su basically didn’t interact with the other actors and just played on her phone, she would only appear at the edges of the camera in the behind-the-scenes videos or be in the background, quietly playing on her phone. In short, whenever netizens saw the daily life of the Chronicles of Yunling crew, she was always in the back, on her phone.

Until a gossip account posted a new piece of information—

“@CrewRadar: #ChroniclesofYunlingFilming #WenSuMessUp27TimesOnSet # It’s been reported that Wen Su often makes mistakes during the filming of Chronicles of Yunling, with one scene taking as many as 27 takes. While her co-stars study their scripts, she is on her phone. Is the show still worth looking forward to? [Image][Image][Image][Image][Image][Image]”

As the most controversial actress in the Chronicles of Yunling crew, Wen Su was undoubtedly a topic of discussion among netizens. After this post went up, it quickly became a trending topic within half an hour and eventually reached the top of the hot search:

#WenSuMessedUp27TimesOnSet#

When Jingshu first saw this post, she was about to have her PR team take it down. But when they saw a certain comment, they realized this might not be a bad opportunity.
