#WE Headline: My Feng’s rumored girlfriend finally makes an appearance?!【click on this link ♂】#

《The Rose that Blooms on Doomsday》Production Cast V: November 11, premiere opening @He ChongFeng V @Lily, waiting for your attendance! 【A Grand Opening Gift · Holo video】

He ChongFeng was No.9 on the purple list and Lily—a person of mixed descent, otherwise known as Wu LiLi—was ranked No.38 on the purple list. Both of them were figures that the public paid close attention to. This movie could be considered one of the most antic.i.p.ated films since last year and it treaded the topic of seeking survival in a futuristic world. It was currently one of the hottest films to watch.

All the tickets for it had long sold out in advance, leaving no empty seats. Naturally, the premiere opening for it was also greatly antic.i.p.ated by the public.

No one expected Wu LiLi to reveal such a big piece of news on the opening night. When the reporters asked her what kind of person He ChongFeng was off-set, she replied: “Ah Feng is a really good person. Although even off-set he similarly doesn’t like showing expressions, he’s actually very attentive and good at taking care of others. He’s actually not tyrannical or arrogant at all like you would think. The BEEs who want to see a cold and domineering CEO, I’m afraid you guys will have to be disappointed.”

The reporters subsequently asked: “Lily’s description is so detailed, are the two of you very close in private?”

Wu LiLi’s face reddened. She waved her hand and said: “Okay la, friends that are concerned with Ah Feng’s gossip, why don’t you show some concern for our Director Liu? He’s going to explode on our dear male lead if this continues, haha.”

The fans speculated that Wu LiLi was He ChongFeng’s mysterious girlfriend—since their first collaboration, Wu LiLi had been very protective of He ChongFeng in front of the media. The two of them had worked together on three movies and quite a few large scale commercials. It was not far-fetched to think that they might’ve developed feelings for each other after working together for so many times. Although Wu LiLi was older than He ChongFeng by three years, she was the youngest female artist on the purple list and her family background was also strong. The two of them could be considered a pair made in heaven and their families also matched well.

Not to mention, she was born beautiful and had a professional public relation team since she first debuted, thus her public image was very well maintained. Other than a few times when it was reported that she had abused her status on set, it could be said that there was no negative news surrounding her at all.

Since it was like this, the fan’s acceptance greatly increased.

Furthermore, He ChongFeng, who had also been straightforward, didn’t refute her outright. What else could that mean?

The fan’s imaginations ran so wild Gou Liang couldn’t help but look away.

He ChongFeng had yet to return when someone pointed out Wu LiLi’s flight had closely followed He ChongFeng’s and they had arrived at HuaXia’s capital at nearly the same time. Swarms of paparazzi blocked the airport and when Wu LiLi was asked if she and He ChongFeng had agreed on this beforehand, she only said: “We promised to have a chat with the director, this was merely a coincidence. Everyone, don’t read too deeply into it.”

【System: Master, this person perfectly made use of a phrase.】

【Gou Liang: Oh?】

【System: This place does not have three hundred silvers.】

Gou Liang scoffed , he squeezed and pinched the Film Emperor He holo-baby who was selling meng with all its strength on the phone screen. Its chubby cheeks were kneaded into all sorts of shapes as it said things like “Wife, I was wrong”, “Little Fool is the best”, “Little Fool (づ￣3￣)づ”, while making cute movements. Seeing this, Gou Liang finally let out a smile.

【The sea of consciousness was free of rain and clouds and was extremely bright and sunny. The system said in surprise: Master, are you not angry?】

【Gou Liang: Angry? A crude scheme like this, how is it worth getting angry over? Do you think I’m the female lead of a brainless drama?】

【The system defended itself unhappily: I haven’t watched any brainless dramas for many years already，╭(╯^╰)╮】

【Gou Liang: Yet you still remain as moronic as ever.】

【System: Master, as expected, you are angry！→v→】

【Gou Liang: Do you want to see me angry? However, the point isn’t whether you want to see me angry or not, although I’m sure He ChongFeng is looking forward to this…】

Thus, when He ChongFeng came home, what greeted him was↓

Stir-fry bitter melon, bitter sow thistle salad, bitter braised bamboo shoots, cuc.u.mbers pickled in vinegar, sourness ×3 sauerkraut fish, sour and sweet pork ribs without sugar…

He ChongFeng paused before sitting down without the slightest change in expression. He took a bite from every dish before saying: “Little Fool, are you angry?”

Smiling, Gou Liang ladled him a bowl of vinegar soup. He acted as if he didn’t understand what the other was saying.

He ChongFeng silently downed the soup. However, even with his acting skills, he couldn’t help but scrunch his face from the sourness.

Niu Qing who originally came along to explain things, stealthily retreated upon seeing the dishes on the table. Zhao Bin, who had just come by to discuss work, went with her to talk about proper business things&#k2014;After all, they shouldn’t disturb a couple when they were being “harmonious and affectionate”, otherwise they might get struck by lightning, hehehe.

He ChongFeng drank some water to help him swallow before opening his mouth to explain: “Don’t take that gossip seriously. This movie is going to be Lao Liu’s last work. He was the one who filmed my first movie back then, so I consider him a benefactor. I don’t want the focal point of his last work to be the male and female leads squabbling with each other and have the movie itself overlooked as a result. As for Wu LiLi, after the movie is done airing, if she still doesn’t know how to show restraint, I will take care of her.”

Gou Liang: “She predicted you’d react like this?”

He ChongFeng nodded his head. “She’s just someone insignificant, no need to pay attention to her.”

Gou Liang refuted: “I think that might not be the case…” He saw Director Zheng approaching. Director Zheng knocked on the door and there was another person behind him. When Gou Liang saw the person, he looked at He ChongFeng with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile: This is the insignificant person?

Director Zheng brought Wu LiLi over but didn’t expect that he would be locked outside and denied entrance. Gou Liang said: “Director Zheng, Male G.o.d is changing right now, don’t you think it would be inappropriate to bring in a young lady?”

Wu LiLi replied: “It’s not like I haven’t seen it before. What, is Little Fool feeling shy on my behalf?”

Gou Liang’s smile fell from his face. He ChongFeng hurried over, his eyes sharp like knives: “‘Little Fool’ isn’t a name you can call, shut up.”

Wu LiLi’s perfect smile slipped for a second.

Director Zheng: “…Lily wants to make a guest appearance in the role of the crown prince’s imperial consort, so I came to ask for your opinions.”

He ChongFeng held Gou Liang’s hand and walked out the door. When they arrived at Director Zheng’s resting lounge, he said in a business-like tone: “Director Zheng, I believe a person has already been chosen for this role, no?” Gauging Director Zheng’s expression, He ChongFeng said: “Or could it be that you feel like I alone cannot rally enough support in the box office, so you want to invite the person involved in a scandal with me so you can rub off some fame while it lasts?”

Director Zheng: “…”

Wu LiLi said: “Ah Feng, is there a need to say it like that? Didn’t we agree beforehand—”

He ChongFeng: “Agreed to?”

Wu LiLi smiled. She bent forward slightly, showing the deep valley of her cleavage, and said: “And you didn’t refute, isn’t that right?”

He ChongFeng turned his head and said: “Director Zheng, may I borrow your room for a while, if that’s fine with you?”

Director Zheng tactfully left.

He ChongFeng then looked at Wu LiLi: “Speak, what’s your purpose?”

Wu LiLi sized up Gou Liang, who was drinking lemon water before saying: “This matter cannot be blamed on me.”

“I don’t know where my father got the information from, but when he learned that you are the owner of the holographic technology, he became dead set on marrying me to you so he could get a slice of the cake. Honestly, did his brain short circuit? How old were you back then? How can he believe in this kind of hearsay? But you know, even without those rumors, he has always wanted me to get closer to you. After all, you’re WE’s inheritor.”

Wu LiLi didn’t believe that He ChongFeng was the inventor of the holographic technology. She sighed and said: “You also know that my father doesn’t lack children. Although I’m not an illegitimate child, if I want a share of his company I must get his confirmation first. Thus, I can only use you. The way I see it, you’re not willing to let the person you like be exposed to the public, so wouldn’t it be convenient to use me as a s.h.i.+eld? I can help explain this to the other party. This idea can protect her yet at the same time satisfy my purpose. Isn’t it simply killing two birds with one stone, with both sides benefitting?”

She spoke candidly. Having worked with He ChongFeng multiple times, she had more or less grasped the other’s personality so she forwent all roundabout speech and instead cut straight to the point.

Gou Liang mused: “This idea sounds not bad.”

He ChongFeng: “Where did your father hear such rumors from?”

Wu LiLi said grimly: “Ah Feng, I think you may have offended someone.”

“Not just my father, my friends from various entertainment media companies have all received a letter and the content of the letter said that you were the inventor of the holographic technology. My father made some inquiries with a few people within his circle who had also received the letter and heard that they actually want to kidnap you to coerce some insider secrets out of you and if that doesn’t work, they can also hold you ransom for a share of the technology. My father, on the other hand, isn’t as courageous as them so I was dispatched instead.”

He ChongFeng said: “Give me the namelist, I’ll personally pay a visit to these people.”

Wu LiLi nodded her head and said: “Since I came here to talk with you, naturally I’ve prepared some bargaining chips, but I also have my conditions.”

He ChengFeng gave her a silent look.

Inexplicably, Wu LiLi suddenly felt a lack of confidence. She hesitated for a while before saying: “My father’s body is getting worse and worse. It’s probably only a matter of two years or so before the will takes effect, so I only need your cooperation until then. Not to mention, if I hold power in the company, it will also benefit you. Did you forget that my brother holds a grudge against you? If he inherits the company, I’m afraid it’s only a given that he’ll perpetually cause trouble for you and WE’s artists.”

He ChongFeng remained unfazed. If the other dared to do this, then he’d only be digging his own grave.

Wu LiLi said dejectedly: “You really can’t consider it? If you don’t agree then I’ll have to marry Old Jack and help the company tie down their genius director in order to get the inheritance. Do you have the heart to—”

Gou Liang: “Film Empress Li, the one who wants the shares is you, not He ChongFeng. Or could it be that his remuneration would include that inheritance that you’re going to get?”

The corner of Wu LiLi’s mouth twitched. If she was willing to offer such conditions, then why would she bother playing the emotion card on He ChongFeng?

She glared at Gou Liang and said: “Greenhorn, don’t you know that it’s very impolite to interrupt when your seniors are talking?”

Gou Liang shrugged, he put down his lemon water and said: “Very unfortunately, this mister and I have already gotten our certificate. We have a legal husband-husband relations.h.i.+p. You want to entice my husband, say, shouldn’t I interrupt?”

A smile emerged on He ChongFeng’s face, he rubbed Gou Liang’s head and said: “I refuse all enticement relating to cheating on my marriage.”

Wu LiLi, shocked, immediately swung her chest towards Gou Liang. She blinked her eyes and said: “Then Mr. Mai, what do you think of my proposal? If you can agree to this plan, I am willing to cooperate with you and a.s.sist you in investigating the mastermind behind the rumors.”

He ChongFeng blocked Gou Liang’s eyes. He directed an icy glare at Wu LiLi’s undulating waves before s.h.i.+fting his scowl at Wu LiLi’s face.

Wu LiLi’s smile froze on her face.

Gou Liang laughed aloud. He tugged down He ChongFeng’s hand and kissed it before asking Wu LiLi: “What makes Lady Wu think we would need your meager strength to unearth a mere insect?”

Wu LiLi pulled up her camisole to cover the valley line that was of no use to her at all. She said regretfully: “Then it seems that this cooperation is a no-go?”

He ChongFeng: “Old Jack suits you very well.”

When Wu LiLi thought of Old Jack’s sagging face, a trace of anger flashed through her eyes. She stood up and said bitterly: “Then I apologize. My arrangements have already begun and I have no intention of stopping them. In any case, during the one month that the movie’s on-screen, you won’t let the male and female leads—two purple list artists—fight with each other. That is enough for me. At that time, when I have what I want, you can go clarify all you want.”

Her ambition had never been in the entertainment circle. Rather, what she wanted was power in the company.

Wu LiLi left but in the end she still had someone deliver the namelist. He ChongFeng looked it over and found that the people listed were all as expected.

Gou Liang browsed the list. He suddenly said, “It seems that it’s true, that these people want to kidnap you.”

He ChongFeng: “No need to worry. Back then, when WE first released the holographic technology, they weren’t able to kidnap me. After ten years, it’s even more impossible.”

Even so, there was an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in Gou Liang’s heart—the lesson he had learned after what happened to s.h.i.+ Yu had left a deep impression on him. He could not allow the existence of any hidden danger that might threaten the target’s life. After having the system monitor the movements of these people while simultaneously searching for the mastermind, Gou Liang said, “The one responsible for this, I’m afraid their purpose is not so simple… He ChongFeng, do you have an inkling of who’s opposing you?”

He ChongFeng was the inventor of the holographic technology as well as its main technician. The people who knew this were already few, but to use this matter as bait to place him under these people’s scrutiny… He ChongFeng replied: “There might not necessarily be a mole among us. I’ll discuss this with my mother, if this really involves the executives of the company, then it’s better for her to handle this.”

When Madam w.a.n.g heard this news, she treated this matter more seriously than He ChongFeng himself.

These years, she was afraid that someone would act against her son, so she had sealed any news of this tightly. Of the people who knew this other than her, there were only her trusted aides and a few engineers who had partic.i.p.ated in the early stages of the project. But it seemed that this day still came.

Before hanging up, Madam w.a.n.g strongly emphasized: “The person behind this definitely doesn’t have any good intentions. Since they even know of this, then it probably won’t be hard for them to find out about your and MaiMai’s relations.h.i.+p. Pay more attention to his safety. Don’t allow ill-intentioned people to grab you by your throat.”

He ChongFeng’s apathetic expression finally changed when he heard this. His expression turned heavy.

The filming of《River Mountains》wasn’t interrupted at all by the rejection of Wu LiLi’s guest appearance.

Through the court’s opposition, the Crown Prince Dianxia was able to safely resolve this peril but he had also taken a huge loss.

The Emperor exhausted all his methods to prevent the Empress Dowager from spreading the news all over. The pa.s.sive Emperor took the initiative to summon loyal royalists who disapproved of bringing family relations into court affairs, as well as officials who held grudges against the Empress Dowager’s maternal clan. In tears, the Emperor denounced the Empress Dowager’s viciousness in front of them, blaming today’s matter on the Empress Dowager. Obviously, the crown prince’s clothes were in disarray because of his inattentiveness when practicing martial arts with his martial arts teacher, but the Emperor Dowager actually wanted to pin the crime of having inappropriate relations.h.i.+ps with men onto the crown prince.

Afterward she even said the crown prince was almost of age. Settling the matter of the crown prince’s marriage had always been impeded by the Empress Dowager time and time again. He wanted to select a consort for the crown prince, so he had invited multiple ministers who were both upright and capable with the intention of arranging a marriage for the sake of the country.

Marrying one’s daughter to the crown prince signified standing in complete opposition to Empress Dowager’s party. Not everyone had that sort of resolve.

In the end, the Emperor used the method of hurting oneself to gain the enemy’s confidence to secure a marriage with the right-prime minister’s daughter, thus setting a date for the big day.

The crown prince did not refuse, but his heart was unresigned.

Guan Hui continued to remain by his side. It was clear that even if he were to take a wife, the other would still be willing to stay by him. He only hoped for his success and spared no effort carrying out his will, even if it meant going through mountains of daggers and seas of flames.

The crown prince, deeply moved by this, finally accepted Guan Hui.

Although the two didn’t dare to tear away the layer of hazy veil between them, their hearts were submerged in honey as they pa.s.sed a blissful period of time. However, just before the wedding, the crown prince unexpectedly chanced upon Guan Hui meeting with the Empress Dowager. He learned that Guan Hui was actually someone the Empress Dowager had sent to bewitch himself. His heart was utterly shattered.

======《River Mountains》Scene 56, Camera 30, action↓↓======

On the day of the crown prince’s wedding, the east palace was decorated with lanterns and auspicious banners. Everything the eyes saw was a festive red.

The Crown Prince Dianxia had one too many cups to drink. Pus.h.i.+ng aside the eunuch who tried to support him, he staggered to his feet and said smilingly: “Today is Gu’s big wedding day, a good time with beautiful sceneries, how can there be no wine? Gu had only drunk a few cups, is there a need to be so distressed? It’s not like Gu will mess up the wedding night in the bridal chamber this evening, hm?”

The personal eunuch didn’t dare to refute in public. He worriedly watched as the crown prince pushed open the Qin Palace’s gate. A swarm of palace maids promptly came up to serve him. The crown prince waved away the beautiful maids and ordered them to retreat, leaving behind only the imperial consort.

The Crown Prince Dianxia smiled at her. “I’m inconveniencing you, there’s no need to wait upon me. Come accompany Gu for a conversation.”

The imperial consort had already taken to his handsome visage. Her heart was moved by her newly-wed husband, so she complied.

“The right-prime minister should have told you about the gains and losses. Marrying into this east palace is like walking into a dead end, there is nowhere to fall back to. Gu is afraid you will be wronged.”

The imperial consort was deeply moved. She said: “Your Highness, this consort is happy. Being able to marry you is this consort’s good fortune.”

The Crown Prince Dianxia smiled as he muttered: “Change your clothes ba, it’s getting late.”

The imperial consort looked at the red veils that were illuminated by the red candles. Her complexion was even more colorful than this new bridal room. Getting up, she changed her clothes and gathered up her courage before turning back around, only to see the crown prince laying on the bed, as if he had fallen asleep.

“Your Highness…”

The imperial consort was at a loss for what to do. After hesitating for a while, as she was about to wake the other up, she felt a sharp pain on the back of her neck. Her body slackened and fell to the floor, completely unconscious.

A person pushed her aside in a boorish manner. The crown prince, wearing his red and gold wedding attire, laid on the bed. The person reached out and hugged the crown prince, pulling him into a sitting position. He encircled the crown prince’s throat with his hand.

When the crown prince opened his eyes, where was there any hint of intoxication to be seen on his face?

Kneading the crown prince’s palm for a moment, Guan Hui stared at him heavily.

Unexpectedly, he saw the crown prince smile at him, “Master, Gu’s attire today, is it good-looking?”

……

“CUT!”

Director Zheng walked over and looked at the two sitting on the bed who were being touched up by the make-up artists. He said: “The next scene is Guan Hui and the crown prince’s first time. Both of their hearts carry hate but the crown prince is wholeheartedly seducing him. He wants Guan Hui to betray the Empress Dowager and be used for his own purpose, so he’s using himself as a bargaining chip. At this time, the audience still doesn’t know that Guan Hui is already aware that the person who saw him and the Empress Dowager together was the crown prince. Guan Hui sees things clearly in his heart, so you have to display his hesitation and shrewdness. But at the same time, both of you hold feelings for each other, so you’re not completely guarded against one another nor is there only hatred, understood?”

He ChongFeng nodded his head.

Gou Liang whispered to his ears: “Male G.o.d, why don’t we show the director the results of yesterday’s practice, hm?”

He ChongFeng lifted his sleeves and tidied it, taking the opportunity to plant a kiss on his lips.

Gou Liang smiled happily.

Back after a break. Thanks for waiting patiently!
