The Best Actor's Courtship: Miss Scriptwriter, Please Love Me! Chapter 117 What You Worry Comes True

Gong Yu strode into the dressing room and spoke to Yun Muxi gently, "How's your body? Is it better? You have quite a number of scenes today, can you do it?"

Xie Ning stared at Gong Yu in shock. "Um, Gong Yu, did you just mention a child?"

Gong Yu turned and glared at her. His eyes seemed to say, "You're such a busybody, you're getting in the way, why aren't you leaving yet?"

Yu Muxi was more upset at Gong Yu. Not only did he admit that she was pregnant in front of Xie Ning, but he also talked to her so intimately! It was as if he was proclaiming that the child was his. Yun Muxi was trying to prevent causing a commotion as much as possible, be it with people or in this complicated entertainment industry. Besides, she did not like Xie Ning as she was too scheming.

Gong Yu received her disgruntled look but chose to ignore it. He continued, "Should I go talk to Director Zhao to remove some of your scenes first so that you can go back at noon to rest?"

"No need!" Yun Muxi did not want to talk too much in front of Gong Yu and Xie Ning, which was why she provided a cold and simple answer.

Gong Yu simply took a chair and sat beside her, asking very casually, "Are you going to visit Niannian today after work? Let me go with you. I've been looking after her these few nights while you're sick."

Gong Yu started talking on his own as if he had blocked out Amy and Xie Ning and there was n.o.body around them. Yun Muxi found this hard to deal with, as others would deem their conversation to be too affectionate, hence ruling their relations.h.i.+p to be extremely close. Besides, Gong Yu and she had a child together; they were just like a married couple.

And this was exactly what Xie Ning thought. After receiving information like this, her thoughts ran all over the place.

Yun Muxi and Gong Yu were a couple. Yun Muxi had a child, and the child resembled Gong Yu. Currently, Yun Muxi seemed like she had strong support behind her, yet Gong Yu seemed to neither mind nor avoid it. That could only mean that Yun Muxi's 'strong support' was not any of the tyrant or rich second generation on the list...

Thinking of this possibility, Xie Ning was increasingly full of regret. If she had known earlier, she would have stood on Yun Muxi's side instead of Ding Sisi's. Xie Ning could feel Yun Muxi's dissatisfaction towards her. She was so full of regret she could die. She wondered what were the chances of turning the tables if she started to make up for her loss now.

Having thought of it, Xie Ning spoke again, "Hey Xiao Xi, don't worry. I will not tell anyone about your secret. I will retain everything that I heard in my brain and not let it out."

Yun Muxi glanced at her plainly and replied, "It doesn't matter. I don't plan on pursuing a career in the entertainment industry anyway."

Gong Yu did not seem to mind at all. "Indeed, it doesn't matter if you let the cat out of the bag, it can also fulfill one of my wishes." Then, he turned and looked at Yun Muxi with a meaningful gaze that she understood immediately.

Then, he turned and said to Xie Ning, "But it also depends on whether you dare to let it out."

Xie Ning could hear the warning in his words. That direct implication would have refrained anyone from continuing to talk too much. Thinking of the people around Yun Muxi, Xie Ning started to fear for herself.

"Of course, I didn't intend to tell. Um, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Then, she scurried out of the dressing room.

Yun Muxi looked up and saw that Amy was looking at her with a prying expression. Yun Muxi felt wary of her.

Amy chuckled, "Xiao Xi, I won't tell anyone. My mouth is shut tight."

Yun Muxi smiled at her with a tint of grat.i.tude. She knew Amy's character very well, so she trusted her to not tell anyone. Thinking about this, she turned to glare at Gong Yu. It was all because of what he said! And he said it so affectionately, which caused others to link non-existent dots.

Gong Yu continued as if he did not see Yun Muxi glaring at him. "Xiao Xi, what do you want for dinner? I'll take you to dinner before we go visit Niannian."

"Gong Yu, are you very free? It's okay if you're bored, but can you not disturb me!"

Gong Yu stood up and left while laughing. The two of them had to think of a long-term plan instead of doing things hastily.

After Gong Yu left, Amy popped a casual question. "Xiao Xi, do you know who is Lian Can?"

Yun Muxi pondered before answering, "Lian Can? Nope." Then she looked at Amy with a confused look.

"Oh, you don't!"

"Why? Should I have known her?" Yun Muxi asked with more confusion. Amy seemed a little strange today.

"Not much, I just happen to hear a friend mention that you two know each other."

"Oh, friend? Which friend? Why was I mentioned?"

"Um, I don't know too! It just so happened that a female junior asked about you in a phone call."

"Female junior?"

"Yes, she's also a stylist. She happened to ask about you when we were talking on the phone. She knows that I'm on this set and asked casually."

"Oh! Okay." Yun Muxi suddenly thought of the stylist from a few days ago, Betty. She added, "Is your female junior's name Betty?"

"Oh no, my female junior is Betty's best friend. They work in the same studio."

Then, she paused for a while before saying with much hesitation, "But Xiao Xi, you should be more alert and try not to mess with this Lian Can. My female junior said that she's not someone you would want to trigger. She has a strong background and a horrible temper. She always seeks revenge once triggered."

"Okay, got it, thanks!"

In the following days, Gong Yu and Murong Ye seemed to have a little face-off, which gave Yun Muxi a headache.

This seemed to give Gong Yu much more motivation to protect Yun Muxi at all costs. Gong Yu became even more protective of Yun Muxi. He almost never left her side and also became increasingly thick-skinned. He started a non-stop crazy pursuit after her, both verbally and through actions. Yun Muxi was extremely helpless. What was more depressing was that Gong Yu always had excuses that she could not reject.

After several days of continuous filming, the film was finally wrapping up.

On this day, Yun Muxi and Gong Yu had a scene where they rode a horse. Zhao Yi made this the last scene mainly because Yun Muxi was not good at horse-riding. Zhao Yi felt that their entire filming process was filled with too many accidents. He was very worried that something would happen while filming this scene, so without any hesitation, he decided to put it last. Firstly, they could have more time to prepare and secondly, Yun Muxi could have a few more days to practice. Thirdly, he was really worried that an accident would happen. If an accident was to happen, it would not affect other scenes as it was already the last. He could just delete this scene.

The whole staff arrived at the scene very early. Once everything was ready, Zhao Yi glanced at Gong Yu and Yun Muxi, saying, "Be careful, the two of you. Always put safety first, especially Xiao Xi. Gong Yu is not bad at riding, I'm not worried. I'm worried about you. Also, the last part is quite difficult and is hard to film. Xiao Xi, you must watch out for your safety, do you hear me? Don't push through if you can't."

Gong Yu nodded and glanced at Yun Muxi.

This scene was generally about Mu Lengyu and Zhen Ai in a fight. Gong Yu was angry and dragged Yun Muxi onto a horse before riding off towards a river in a small forest. Zhen Ai struggled all the way and upon arriving at the river, Mu Lengyu jumped off the horse, dashed towards a big tree and started punching it with both hands. Zhen Ai jumped off the horse on her own and accidentally tumbled over and rolled into the river. Mu Lengyu panicked and ran towards the river before jumping in to save Zhen Ai.

This was the last scene of the whole film. The rest of the scenes had been filmed. After this scene was done, the staff could start editing and publicity work.

Although safety precautions were in place, Gong Yu and Zhao Yi were still worried because of the dangerous moves. Zhao Yi was worried because the filming process was filled with too many accidents, while Gong Yu was worried about Yun Muxi's safety.

Yun Muxi, on the other hand, could not care less. She was focused on finis.h.i.+ng this scene, which would give her more time to spend with Niannian. Besides, Gong Yu was overly-clingy these two days. She thought that after today, she would not have to interact with him as much and could finally get away from him.

Zhao Yi shouted, "All on standby, action!"

Yun Muxi ran as fast as she could while Gong Yu fetched the horse and hopped on it swiftly. He came behind Yun Muxi and pulled her onto the horse in one swift move. He held her tightly in his arms while she continued struggling to show that she was still angry. Gong Yu ignored her and kept a sullen face as they sped towards the river in the small forest.

Several cameras were filming them while three cars were chasing them to capture different angles. The cameramen emerged through the sunroofs on the cars and held onto their cameras. There was also a drone shooting from the sky.

It was all going very smoothly. They reached the preset position and Gong Yu stopped the horse immediately. He jumped off swiftly and ran towards the tree where he started punching with his fists.

Yun Muxi took a deep breath, jumped off the horse, and fell onto the ground as scripted.

However, the fall seemed unnatural. "Cut!" Zhao Yi shouted.

This shot had to be refilmed. Gong Yu looked at Yun Muxi nervously and fixed his gaze on her.

Yun Muxi fell off the horse again. This time around, it looked very real. But in actual fact, no one could tell that she deliberately fell off her horse on purpose. She was not acting.

She fell onto the ground and rolled all the way into the river.

Gong Yu flew towards the river, jumped inside and lifted her up. Zhao Yi was satisfied only when they reached the bank. "Cut!"

However, Yun Muxi, who was supposed to open her eyes then, had her eyes shut tightly. Gong Yu could not help but start to panic. He called her name gently a few times and she did not respond.

Yun Muxi remained still and her face became pale.

Gong Yu shouted frantically, "Quick! Call the ambulance..."
