NOVEL WEB Chapter 13: Chapter 13: On Guard to Prevent Her Escape...
```
With this thought, she managed to relax a bit, although the thought of Nan Yuling as he had been a moment ago still sent a shiver of fear through her.
In the end, Su Xingyue resigned herself to climbing into Nan Yuling's big bed.
Being very tired, as soon as she calmed down, she fell deeply asleep.
...
When Nan Yuling emerged from the bathroom, he glanced around the room subconsciously, his eyes finally resting on the curled up figure sleeping on one side of the large bed.
He walked over to the bed, lowered his gaze, and stared at the sleeping woman for a long while.
Just a moment ago, she was so scared of him.
Yet now, she could sleep so sweetly in his room.
Heh... his thin lips curved up unconsciously.
He bent down.
His slender finger touched her lips gently... caressing them.
The warmth his finger felt on her lips was the same as four years ago but also somewhat different...
The immature apple had ripened...
...
Morning.
Because of the exhaustion from last night's turmoil, Su Xingyue overslept a bit.
When she woke up, it was already late.
Nan Yuling was no longer in the room; if not for the imprint on the pillow, she wouldn't have been sure if he had slept beside her last night.
Today was her last scene in the film crew; she couldn't be late.
This was the only time she was playing a major role all the way to the end of filming!
In the past, whenever she was cast as a major actor, even in a tertiary role, that film or television drama would terminate due to some... unknown reasons.
The name Su Xingyue seemed to have become a curse of sorts.
After that, almost no one dared to cast her, and she could only take on extra roles...
And this time, she had shamelessly fabricated a widow's identity, played on the director's sympathies, just to beg him to cast her.
...
After a quick wash-up, Su Xingyue hurried out of the house.
However, as soon as she opened the door of the suite, she saw a face that was utterly expressionless.
It was Nan Yuling's bodyguard...
Su Xingyue was somewhat speechless; they were still here, guarding the place.
"Madam, the boss asked you to wait for him in the room." As soon as she came out, the bodyguard's eyes immediately became vigilant.
Su Xingyue knew they were preventing her from escaping...
"I'm going to the film set!" she gritted her teeth, then looked at the bodyguard earnestly, "Today is my last scene at the film set, it's very important!"
She had thought the bodyguard would refuse her...
But unexpectedly, after hearing her words, the bodyguard nodded.
"Okay!"
"So I can go now?" Su Xingyue's face was full of surprise; she hadn't expected the bodyguard to agree to let her go.
The bodyguard nodded, "Please!" The bodyguard bowed and extended his hand in a gesturing motion!
Seeing this, Su Xingyue became delighted, quickly walked out of the room, and went straight into the elevator.
Only... Just as she entered the elevator, the two bodyguards behind her also followed her in!
She was stunned...
"Madam, we need to ensure your safety," the bodyguard explained.
"..." Su Xingyue was speechless. What did they mean by ensuring her safety? It was obvious they were just keeping an eye on her...
She had merely run away from a marriage; was there a need to treat her as if she was a criminal?
However, at this moment she had no power to resist, so she had to allow the bodyguards to follow her to the set.
...
When Su Xingyue arrived at the set, the director was furious!
"This is outrageous; at a time like this, they even ask for leave! Is it because the funding for the crew is short? Do they really think they will miss out on their pay?"
