When Xia Qingqian was alone with Lu Licheng, she always felt that he looked at her with ill intentions, but upon closer inspection, it seemed quite normal. Moreover, this man had a good reputation in the industry and was a respected senior on the set. She thought she might be overthinking.

But she still didn't like having too much contact with him.

So at this moment, when a group of people were surrounding Lu Licheng who had finished filming today and expressing their reluctance to part, Xia Qingqian was packing up her things alone and preparing to go home. She had no intention of trying to flatter Lu Licheng like everyone else.

She really couldn't bring herself to say those flattering and fawning words.

After packing her things, she carried her bag and her phone and prepared to take a taxi. In the afternoon, Fang Lu received a call that there was an emergency at home, so Xia Qingqian asked the driver to take her back to her hometown.

Originally Fang Lu was worried, and Xia Qingqian insisted on asking the driver to take her back. She knew that transportation was inconvenient in Fang Lu's hometown, and without a car she didn't know when she could get back.

They finished work early today and it was still broad daylight. There were many people at the entrance of the studio, so she was not worried that someone would dare to kidnap someone in broad daylight. The car could be driven directly to the entrance of Ludu Mansion. The security booth was right next to it and there were people on duty at the entrance 24 hours a day, so she had nothing to worry about.

She lowered her head and took her cell phone out of her bag. She just opened the taxi app to get a taxi and didn't notice someone walking up behind her.

It was a young girl from the production crew who called her.

"Sister Qingqian, Actor Lu is wrapping up his filming today. Everyone just asked him to treat us to dinner tonight, and he has agreed. Why don't you come with us? It will make the place more fun with more people. The director and Sister Zhizhi are going too." The girl invited with a heartless smile.

Xia Qingqian frowned slightly when she heard this.

She had no interest in Lu Licheng's dinner invitation, not to mention Du Zhizhi's group, who were not on good terms with her, so it would be meaningless to go. She didn't need this meal.

Besides, she had to rush back to make dinner for Ji Fengfan.

Xia Qingqian smiled faintly and said to the girl from the production crew, "I have something else to do, so I won't go. Have fun."

As soon as she finished speaking, the group of people who had just surrounded Lu Licheng came over again with the male protagonist. Seeing that she was about to leave, Lu Licheng stopped her again.

"Qing Qian, I'm treating everyone to dinner tonight. Come along. We've been filming together for such a long time, and we're all familiar with each other. Maybe we'll meet again in the future." Lu Licheng said sincerely, displaying his usual low-key, humble, amiable and unpretentious character to the fullest, really like a people-friendly actor who cares for his juniors.

I believe that no one would want to lose the face of Mr. Lu in this occasion. If he refuses, it would seem that he is ungrateful.

Xia Qingqian looked embarrassed as she looked at this group of people, thinking about what kind of excuse she could come up with to leave so that Lu Licheng would not feel embarrassed and she could leave at the same time.

It is definitely not an option to refuse directly, otherwise who knows what the headlines will look like tomorrow morning when these people spread it.

She has already thought of the title: 18th-tier female star acts like a big shot on the set, and the movie emperor doesn't even take her seriously

"I'm sorry, I have made an appointment with someone in advance. It's such a coincidence." Xia Qingqian said embarrassedly. She used her best acting skills to express her regret of wanting to attend the party but not being able to go.

Lu Licheng stared at her with deep eyes, which made Xia Qingqian feel uncomfortable all over. She looked away and lowered her head to continue calling a taxi.

At this time, Du Zhizhi, who was standing next to Lu Licheng, spoke. It was rare for her to take the initiative to talk to Xia Qingqian, and her tone was friendly, "Qingqian, it's rare for us to have a meal together, let's go together, call your friend and tell him. You didn't drive, you can take my car later." Du Zhizhi said as she stepped forward and took Xia Qingqian's arm friendly. Her other little follower also stepped forward and took Xia Qingqian's arm. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, carried Xia Qingqian out, as if they were going to kidnap her directly.

Lu Licheng looked at this scene, the corners of his mouth curled up imperceptibly, he snorted lightly, and walked out with everyone.

The dinner was held in a uniquely decorated restaurant in the city center.

There were two large round tables in the large private room, which could accommodate about 40 people for dining, and their group of about 30 people was just right. They might have made a reservation in advance, and when everyone arrived, the cold dishes had already been placed on the table.

Xia Qingqian was pulled by Du Zhizhi into her nanny car. She felt unhappy but couldn't get angry. Others took the initiative to show goodwill. If she didn't give them face now, she would have no excuse later.

Seeing Director Chen and Yao Xing all coming together, she didn't say anything else.

After Du Zhizhi pulled Xia Qingqian into the car, she smiled and said, "Qingqian, what do you think of Mr. Lu?"

Xia Qingqian frowned. When did she become so familiar with Du Zhizhi? Besides, what does Lu Licheng have to do with her? She curled her lips lightly and responded, "Senior Lu is a very good person and is very supportive of the younger generation." Xia Qingqian was very alert and answered in a proper manner.

I don’t know what Du Zhizhi is up to.

Du Zhizhi looked at her, smiled and stopped talking.

When Xia Qingqian arrived at the restaurant in Du Zhizhi's nanny car, almost everyone else was there.

They arrived at about the same time as Director Chen and several other members of the director team. After they sat down, they started eating.

This kind of dinner party is bound to involve drinking and socializing. Xia Qingqian hid in the corner, poured herself a glass of Sprite and ate by herself. When someone came over, she would just clink her Sprite with them. Anyway, she was not the protagonist today, so when it was her turn, everyone was just going through the motions.

Director Chen, Lu Licheng, Du Zhizhi and others were naturally surrounded by people, toasting and flattering them. When they started drinking, naturally no one noticed Xia Qingqian in the corner. She was happy and relaxed, and ate a lot of her favorite dishes.

Because they finished work early, the group finished their meal at around six o'clock. No one had enough fun yet, and after drinking, they became more excited. Someone suggested going to KTV to sing and continue the next show, and everyone cheered and clapped in agreement.

Xia Qingqian wanted to leave. She didn't want to go to the KTV at all. It was obvious that this group of people hadn't had enough to drink yet and were planning to go to the KTV to continue drinking. She had no interest in that. And if she went back any later, Ji Fengfan would be home from get off work.

She took out her cell phone to check the time and saw that Ji Fengfan had called her and sent her a WeChat message. She quickly opened WeChat and found out that he had to work overtime and didn't need to prepare dinner.

Fortunately, there is no need to rush. I originally thought that I would not have enough time and could only cook noodles for him.

He seems to be very busy recently, often working overtime. When the filming of this drama is finished, she should be free and can cook for him properly.

Xia Qingqian thought silently.
