The Female Fox Spirit Gets Spoiled by the Big Shot

Chapter 194

Tian Ruoyi?

Of course she remembered, as if it were yesterday.

"What about her?"

"It has nothing to do with her. This current drama was actually snatched from her hands," Older Brother Sun explained. "Well, we can't really say it was snatched. It was mainly because of her agent. The director wanted to replace her. I had read the script and thought it would suit you well, so I went to negotiate with the director directly. As it happened, they were also interested in working with you. Why don't you take a look and see if you want to play the role?"

Upon hearing this, Zhi Yao wasn't excited at all. Instead, she became a bit nervous. "It's not another psychotic murderess, is it..."

"No, it's not." Older Brother Sun knew that Zhi Yao had developed a psychological shadow from her previous roles.

But what could he do? As a top-tier agent, he naturally wanted to secure good scripts for Zhi Yao. However, even though he was officially Zhi Yao's agent, in reality, whether it was a TV series, movie, or advertisement, everything had to be approved by Pei Chiyao first.

That jealous king would never allow Zhi Yao to take on roles with romantic scenes.

Unless... he was the male lead himself.

Half an hour later.

Zhi Yao sat in Older Brother Sun's office and began reading the script. It was undoubtedly a very good film.

Zhi Yao was quite engrossed in it, and time ticked away. Finally, Older Brother Sun couldn't help but remind her, "Have you finished reading?"

The young girl wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked up at Older Brother Sun, sniffling, "What an exciting story."

"So, what role am I playing?"

She looked left and right, up and down, but couldn't see herself as the female lead.

Because the female lead in this story had many romantic scenes, and Zhi Yao knew that Pei Chiyao would absolutely not allow her to play this role.

Seeing her expression, Older Brother Sun understood her guess and said, "It's not the female lead, but... if you perform well, you'll definitely outshine the female lead."

Outshine the female lead?

Zhi Yao suddenly realized, "Am I playing Feng Jiyue?"

This was the biggest antagonist in the drama, and most importantly, the character had a strong sense of contrast. It must be said that from the moment she opened the script, Zhi Yao was strongly attracted to this character.

She was a yandere loli.

On the surface, she appeared cute, innocent, and unworldly, but in reality...

In short, it was a very intriguing character.

Older Brother Sun nodded, "Yes, that's her. This is why I wanted you to take on this drama. I have a feeling this character could be a huge hit."

A huge hit? Zhi Yao had no concept of what it meant to be a hit or to be famous.

After all, she acted purely for money and fun.

With this in mind, Zhi Yao made her decision, "I'll take this role. When do we start filming?"

"They've already started, but they just replaced Tian Ruoyi. If you're willing, you can join the crew tomorrow. I can communicate with the director tonight."

Zhi Yao thought for a moment and asked, "Where's the filming location?"

"M City."

M City?

M City was thousands of miles away from here, and Zhi Yao had never been to such a distant place alone.

More importantly, she couldn't bear to be away from Pei Chiyao and her mother.

Zhi Yao was, in fact, both a husband's girl and a mama's girl.

Sensing Zhi Yao's hesitation, Older Brother Sun sighed and said, "You don't need to worry about Pei Chiyao. I've already communicated with him. He said he respects your choice, and if you want to go, he'll accompany you."

He'll accompany her?!

Zhi Yao never imagined Pei Chiyao would go to such lengths for her!

The young girl was stunned, "But what about his company? Will it really be okay?"

To leave his company behind and go all the way to M City just to accompany her?

Even Zhi Yao felt embarrassed about it.

"Someone will act as his proxy at the company, so don't feel bad about it. After all, when Pei Chiyao was filming before, he'd be gone for months at a time, and the company operated as usual. He can hold video conferences to oversee things from afar, so don't worry about that." At this point, Older Brother Sun sounded a bit exasperated, "I've never seen a man so attached to his wife in my life."

Hearing this, Zhi Yao felt a bit embarrassed. She stood up with the script in hand and said, "I'll go home and discuss it further with Pei Chiyao."

M City was still too far away, and she didn't know how long this TV series would take to film. Zhi Yao was a bit worried. What if her baby came during that time? As far as she knew, this drama had quite a few action scenes.

She didn't dare risk her child's safety, let alone drag Pei Chiyao along. What if it took half a year to film... Wouldn't that mean Pei Chiyao would be wasting half a year with her?

When Zhi Yao got home, Pei Chiyao had already returned.

As the young girl stepped into the bedroom, she saw two large suitcases placed in the room.

Seeing this, Zhi Yao was taken aback and asked, "Pei Chiyao, why are you packing suitcases?"

Pei Chiyao looked up, his gaze falling on the script in Zhi Yao's hand. The young girl immediately understood.

"Pei Chiyao... I haven't actually decided yet."

She had been conflicted the entire way home.

Pei Chiyao sighed and said, "Silly girl."

He set the suitcase down and quickly walked to Zhi Yao's side, raising his hand to gently rub her head. "Are you worried about me? Or is there something else?"

Zhi Yao answered honestly, "I'm afraid... I might already be pregnant, and I'm also afraid of wasting your time."

She had checked, and if she had conceived in the past few days, it wouldn't show up on a test yet.

They'd have to wait until next month to know for sure.

Filming while pregnant was actually very dangerous, and Zhi Yao didn't dare take such a big risk.

"My time spent on you is never a waste, silly. How is it that you still don't understand this?"

Hearing this, the young girl suddenly looked up at Pei Chiyao.

She found herself gazing into his deep, intense eyes.

"Yao Yao, I have always... lived for you."

Perhaps this is what they call being love-brained?

Pei Chiyao had never been in love before, nor had he experienced what it meant to be love-brained.

But he knew one thing... that he wanted to give his whole heart to Zhi Yao.

Zhi Yao suddenly buried her face in Pei Chiyao's embrace.

Pei Chiyao kissed the top of the young woman's head, his tenderness reaching the utmost limit. "As for children, you don't need to worry about that either. We'll let nature take its course. If you happen to get pregnant, we'll just have the film crew wait until you've given birth and recovered before returning to shoot. If you decide you don't want to continue filming midway, we'll simply pay the penalty for breaching the contract."

He would treat it as if Zhi Yao was just going on an adventure.

After all, as long as she was happy, that was all that mattered.

Hearing this, Zhi Yao was moved to tears, but she also felt that this wasn't quite right.

After much deliberation, Zhi Yao still decided...

"How about we... forget about it?" she suggested tentatively.

However, to her surprise, Pei Chiyao seemed to disagree.

"Yao Yao, are you sure about this?" He earnestly analyzed the situation for Zhi Yao: "Yao Yao, even though you're with me now, I don't want you to sacrifice things you want to do because of me."

"You should always be yourself."
