Chapter 544: Chapter 544: Two Men Pick up Soap Chapter 544: Chapter 544: Two Men Pick up Soap She wasn’t lying with these words, she really didn’t bear any animosity towards Wan Ke.

She simply didn’t like the person very much.

It was possibly because Xu Jiayang was too good.

The first director she met after traversing to this world was Xu Jiayang, so her perception of directors was that they were not interested in women.

However, the fact that Wan Ke had gotten involved with Chu Ying somewhat shattered her ideal image of directors.

Wan Ke just smiled and didn’t say anything.

After a while, he suddenly spoke, “I’ve seen the footage from today’s screen test, Miss Xia performed extremely well, even better than the lead actress.”

Xia Weibao pressed her lips together, “Director Wan, just speak frankly.”

This beating around the bush was making her want to hit someone!

“Alright! Miss Xia is indeed straightforward!”

Wan Ke suddenly said, then looked around cautiously.

The balcony was large, and conversations here couldn’t be heard from outside.

Thus, he felt at ease, moved a bit closer and lowered his voice, “Miss Xia, I can make you the female lead, replacing Chu Ying.

I’ve been planning the movie ‘Republic of China Graceful Hero’ for a long time; it’s meant to win awards.

If you become the leading lady and win another Best Actress, you’ll be a double Golden Ying Award-winning Actress!”

Xia Weibao raised an eyebrow, “Conditions?”

As she spoke, she gripped the juice in her hand more tightly.

If he dared to bring up any casting couch terms, she would instantly offer him a blood-mixed juice!

Wan Ke seemed to see right through her thoughts.

“Miss Xia, please don’t misunderstand, I, Wan Ke, never pressure women, and you won’t need to make any sacrifices. All you have to do is tell the media one thing, and the female lead of ‘Republic of China Graceful Hero’ will be yours.”

Xia Weibao paused for a moment, “What do you mean.”

“All you need to say to the public is that during the shooting of ‘Allure’, Xu Jiayang drugged you and forced himself on you, and then you will be the next Golden Ying Award-winning Actress.”

Xia Weibao’s expression changed, and then her eyes narrowed.

Before she could say anything, Wan Ke had already stood up.

“Miss Xia, please consider it well and reply to me by tomorrow; otherwise, once filming starts, it won’t be so easy to replace the actress.”

After Wan Ke left, Xia Weibao took out her phone.

Xu Jiayang was taking a shower, and his phone was on the bed.

Leng Yan was lying in bed like a dead body, heard the ringing, and picked up the phone.

“Damn! Xu, are you having an affair with Xia Weibao!”

Water sounds from the bathroom paused, “What did you say.”

“Why is Xia Weibao calling you! She’s never taken the initiative to call me!”

Xu Jiayang, “…”

“Give me the phone.”

Leng Yan got up huffily, yanked open the bathroom door with a whoosh.

Xu Jiayang was in the midst of showering, hurriedly grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist.

He was so startled his soap dropped and rolled to Leng Yan’s feet.

Looking at the soap rolling across the floor, Leng Yan’s mind suddenly flashed with the image of two men picking up soap.

His face turned impressively dark.

They had only cared about buying shampoo last time and forgot to buy shower gel.

He would have to go buy some tomorrow; living like this was too miserly.

“Are you sick.”

Xu Jiayang was frustrated.

Although they were both men, he was showering, and him barging in like that, was that acceptable?

Leng Yan with a dark face, “You’re the sick one, isn’t there a water curtain separating us?”

It sounded as if he wanted to peek.

There was clearly a layer of water curtain, alright.

After passing him the phone, Leng Yan didn’t leave.

Instead, he stood to the side, blatantly eavesdropping.

He wanted to see just what secret affair Xu Jiayang and Xia Weibao were having that they had to call in secret.

Xu Jiayang simply turned on the speaker and then washed off the foam from his body.

“Baby, why are you calling me at this time?”
