Professional Body Double

Chapter 22

　　Zhou Xiang smiled awkwardly, and randomly fabricated a story about how they got together, and then introduced them to each other.

    Yan Mingxiu didn't feel any hostility towards Cai Wei. This was primary because ‘sister-in-law’ was one of the first words that came out of Cai Wei’s mouth when he arrived. Yan Mingxiu politely shook Cai Wei's hand, but as usual, he still didn't look really enthusiastic.

    Zhou Xiang was used to his behaviour, and hurriedly invited Cai Wei in to sit.

    Cai Wei glanced at Yan Mingxiu a good number of times, and his occupational disease kicked in, "Xiao Yan, which agency are you from? Who come I haven't heard about you before?"

    Yan Mingxiu lightly knitted his brows.

    Zhou Xiang hastily said, "Wei'ge, he's not in the circle."

    Cai Wei responded in surprise, "Is that really true? Even with such good qualifications, you're not a show business? Just relying on your looks alone, what can make money rush in faster than that?"

    Yan Mingxiu shook his head. "I'm not interested." His relationship with his dad was already strained enough because of his rebellious nature. If he became a celebrity and showed his face to the public eye on top of that, his dad would definitely beat him to death. Moreover, he had never been interested in that sort of job which required you to sell smiles.

    Cai Wei let out a disappointed sigh, and, unwilling to give up, passed him his business card anyway, smiling as he said, "A'Xiang and I are good brothers, if you change your mind, you must find me, don't go finding someone else."

    To give Zhou Xiang face, Yan Mingxiu accepted the card.

    Cai Wei said to Zhou Xiang. "Since you have someone at home, I'll be off now, eat the crab as soon as possible. Let’s talk by phone."

    Zhou Xiang recalled that Cai Wei had come to find because of Director Wang and Wang Yudong's matter, but because Yan Mingxiu was here, it wasn’t convenient for Cai Wei to bring it up.

    After seeing Cai Wei off, Yan Mingxiu asked, "He came over to find you for something, right?"

    Zhou Xiang said vaguely, "Work-related, it's not important." Zhou Xiang remembered that Yan Mingxiu was not just Wang Yudong's little brother-in-law, but also Wang Yudong’s fan, so he definitely couldn't tell Yan Mingxiu about what happened today. Who knew how he would react.

    Yan Mingxiu originally was just asking, but Zhou Xiang's evasive attitude made him feel a bit uncomfortable. Zhou Xiang let Yan Mingxiu have his way for almost everything now. Yan Mingxiu had taken this for granted and gotten used it, enjoying Zhou Xiang's tenderness and leniency. Zhou Xiang hiding matters from him was a bit difficult for him to suddenly accept. Thus, he unhappily said, "What matter is it that you can't let me know? Am I an outsider?"

    Zhou Xiang saw that his complexion had changed, and knew that Yan Mingxiu's temper was acting up again. He hurriedly coaxed him, "How can you be an outsider? You're absolutely an insider [1]." He smiled craftily. "Don't overthink, it’s really nothing important. A few people got into a dispute at the set, that's all. It's really complicated to explain. It's a trivial matter, you definitely won't have the patience to listen."

    Yan Mingxiu's expression eased slightly. Seeing Zhou Xiang's slightly pallid face, for some reason, Yan Mingxiu couldn’t quite bear seeing him like that. He pulled Zhou Xiang to sit down on the sofa. "You look exhausted, have a rest, I'll cook."

    Zhou Xiang’s face broke into a content smile. He couldn’t help but hug Yan Mingxiu’s waist and rub against his stomach. "Really? You're really going to make food for me?"
