Chapter 916

"She's probably thirty years old, right . . . She's older than me by five years, and yet she's looked after her skin better than I have! What's more, look at this photo, I obviously look older than her . . . "

Xu Jiamu just turned his head and gave her a smile, as she rambled on . "I'm going to the restroom . Wait for me here . "

Yang Sisi nodded obediently .

Xu Jiamu didn't say anything, as he slowly stood up . He turned, and on his way out of the set, he shot a glance at Song Xiangsi up on stage making different poses and faces under the cameraman's instructions .

After Song Xiangsi finished one set of photos, she needed to remove her make up and wash her face .

There were restrooms on either side of the set . She was used to going to the one on the right, but on her way there, she saw Xu Jiamu smoking by the entrance .

She came to a halt, and hesitantly considered whether or not to turn around to the restrooms on the left . Xu Jiamu must have felt something in the air when he took a drag . He turned his head and stared at her face with a puzzled look in his eyes .

Song Xiangsi instinctively tightened the grasp on her cleansing lotion, lowered her eyes, and calmly walked forward . As she brushed past him, she clearly felt his gaze upon the side of her face . Just when she thought he was going to call for her, he suddenly lowered his head and put out his cigarette in the ashtray beside him .

When Song Xiangsi finished washing her face, she heard Xu Jiamu's quiet voice from outside the restroom, "Okay, I'll be right there . . . . Just wait for me at the entrance of the set . . . . Mmm . . . "

With that, Xu Jiamu hung up . After a good minute, Song Xiangsi heard the increasingly faint sound of his footsteps .

She waited until they disappeared, before she came out of the restroom . Her line of sight was drawn to where he'd been standing . There was an ash tray filled with a small mountain of cigarette heads of the same brand . . . So . . . Xu Jiamu stood there and just smoked all that?

She had always known that he smoked, but his addiction wasn't too serious . Whenever he was in a bad mood, he would light up a few cigarettes .

From what she remembered, Xu Jiamu smoked the hardest when Qiao Anhao leaked the scandal and when she sent his mother to the police station .

But, no matter how hard he smoked back then, it wasn't as hard as how he smoked today .

Did something upset him today?

"Sis Xiangsi, why are you just standing there? Everyone's waiting for you!"

Song Xiangsi's assistant waited for a long time, but she didn't come out, so she hurriedly ran over to go find her .

Song Xiangsi pulled her gaze from the ashtray, then handed her the cleansing lotion, and walked back into the set .

As the investor of the commercial, Xu Jiamu treated all the members of staff to a meal in the evening .

The private dining room was large . Inside, there was a round table that sat dozens of people .

Song Xiangsi and Xu Jiamu weren't too far from one another .

The director and the staff members probably had read about Xu Jiamu on the news . Now that they saw him take Yang Sisi on set, they were certain she was his girlfriend, and so they were really polite to her . At the dining table, people would not stop asking her questions about Xu Jiamu .
