Chapter 26: The Prickly Feng Qi

Proofread by He Li
"I can't shoot and that's not my job." Si Wan restrains the anger in her heart. Similar to Gong Siming, he also has the ability to influence others' mood, but at least, Gong Siming won't play such childish jokes.
Si Wan stares at Feng Qi who looks careless, "Well, I quit. Now you can send me back to the airport."
Looking at Si Wan with kind of provocative eyes, Feng Qi moves his thin lips slightly. Si Wan takes a long breath to calm herself down, but before she speaks, her mobile phone rings.
"Chairman Yan." Si Wan answers the phone and finds that it's Yan Xiuya asking about Feng Qi at the other end of the phone.
"Have you picked Feng Qi up? Hurry up to start shooting. Time waits for no man." Yan Xiuya's emotionless voice comes from the other side, but before Si Wan answers, Feng Qi who sits in the back seat suddenly speaks.
"I quit, Chairman Yan, I won't corporate with those who even don't assent to such a small request." Feng Qi deliberately speaks to Si Wan's mobile phone. After hearing the words, undoubtedly, Yan Xiuya starts to question Si Wan.
"Who's he, Feng Qi? Why does he say 'quit', what's going on?" Yan Xiuya sounds quite serious. Looking at Feng Qi who is triumphant now, Si Wan has no choice but to compromise.
"Nothing wrong, Chairman Yan, I will tell him to start his work as soon as possible. Please trust me." After that, Si Wan further exchanges some greetings before hanging up. But Feng Qi, who sits in the back seat, is looking at Si Wan with half-closed eyes and a lazy expression.
"If you don't assent to my request, I will leave right now."
Feng Qi is sure that Si Wan won't let him quit so easily, therefore, he turns more arrogant. In order not to delay the next arrangement, Si Wan has to agree with his request temporarily.
"OK, I agree. Now, firstly, you take a rest, and then we go to the studio."
Feng Qi nods. Having no choice, Si Wan drives him to the hotel.
Si Wan has read the information about this famous Asian model before. He has a good figure, good appearance and good character, which is consistent with the evaluation from the outside world. But when she gets in touch with the man in the flesh today, she finds that he is arrogant and likes to play tricks. It is unknown how those fans will react when they know the truth.
"Not the presidential suite?" After a glance at the room card, Feng Qi looks at Si Wan with astonishment. But it seems that Si Wan, who experienced his dissatisfaction with the car just now, has been used to it.
"This suite is second only to the presidential suite, and it's also comfortable." Si Wan smiles because if she doesn't do this, she is afraid that her facial expression will be frightening.
"Go to change it." With a straight face, Feng Qi passes the card to Si Wan who only smiles but does not reach out for it.
"We only provide this." This means he can either stay or leave. Looking at Si Wan's stiff smile, Feng Qi thinks it very funny for her to pretend to be serious. Why not retort upon him? Is she cowed by him just now in the car?
Rolling his black eyes, Feng Qi says: "Well, I'm leaving…"
Like in the car, Feng Qi tries the same trick again. Out of tolerance, Si Wan frowns and clenches her fists at first. But immediately her knitted brows become smooth, with her fists loosened as well.
"Mr. Feng, it is immoral to threaten me in this way. Besides, we have signed a contract, which means that if you don't keep to it, you have to afford the fine for breach of contract. So I think you had better look before you leap."
Holding her breath, Si Wan explains to Feng Qi with a smile. Looking at her curiously, Feng Qi finds this woman more and more interesting. Although she extremely hates being threatened, which is so obvious, he still wants to drive her mad, simply for playing a joke.
"Ms. Si is so considerate of me, but I can afford the fine for breach of contract…" Appreciating the changing facial expressions of Si Wan, inexplicably, Feng Qi is kind of fascinated by her tolerance.
"Mr. Feng, you have been dissatisfied with us since the very beginning when you left the airport. If you have such a high status, why do you come here to lower yourself?" Tolerating again and again, Si Wan finally bursts with rage and starts to shout at Feng Qi: "Is it fun to repeatedly utilize others' weaknesses? What's your purpose to force me to do what I'm not good at? If you put yourself in my shoes, and are picked on in this way, will you accept it with generosity?"
As a director, Si Wan is assigned to be an assistant, which is already baffling to her. And now she is picked on for no reason at all, how could she control her anger?
"That's what you look like when you lose your temper. I am still thinking about when you would break out." Instead of being angry, Feng Qi laughs and becomes more and more interested in Si Wan.
After Si Wan vents her anger, Feng Qi still remains the same: "Break out in silence or perish in it. It seems that you choose to break out."
With lively steps, Feng Qi changes the room into a president suite and waves the room card before Si Wan: "Remember that next time prepare the most comfortable room for me."
Seeing Feng Qi throw a kiss to Si Wan, the front desk girl is totally captivated. The corners of Si Wan's mouth start to twitch: it seems that it's going to be hard to deal with him.
It turns out that Si Wan has a right foreboding. Right after they start the shooting, Feng Qi becomes dissatisfied with the shooting equipment, which nearly drives away the director of photography, who is ashamed and resentful. If Si Wan hasn't tried to mediate, the shooting wouldn't be able to continue.
But during the break, Feng Qi won't keep quiet, either. He extremely likes to follow Si Wan who is busy doing everything. No matter what Si Wan says, he is too clingy to be driven away.
"Why do you always follow me? I am very busy. Could you please stop making troubles and take your shooting seriously?" Holding a large pile of materials, Si Wan is occupied with her job, but Feng Qi who follows behind keeps disturbing her.
"I only know you here." Spreading his hands, Feng Qi looks kind of innocent and pitiable.
"Didn't I introduce everybody here to you yesterday?" Despite her hectic work, Si Wan has to spend time dealing with him. Looking at the busy and messy shooting studio, she can't help but feel more and more impatient.
Like a plaster, Feng Qi still stands by Si Wan's side. Despite her impatience, he doesn't leave, instead he becomes clingier.
"I only met them once, but I know you much better." Seeming lost in his thought, Feng Qi feels that Si Wan becomes her true self only when she gets mad, which is also what he likes to see, the true Si Wan hidden behind a calm surface.
"We are just the same, hiding the true self and facing others with a perfect false appearance…" Patting on her shoulder, Feng Qi makes Si Wan's heart speed up. Can he see clearly what she has hidden?
What is her true self? Can he discover what she has hidden for Gong Siming? Si Wan's heart misses a beat. When raising her head, she happens to see the teasing smile in Feng Qi's eyes.
