《Remember Self-Control: Bossy Husband Loves Me Deep to Soul》C28. Distant Water Cannot Quench Present Thirst

“Well, I am just joking. Since the Director has said ‘Action’, as my assistant, it is time for you to stand over me.” Feng Qi’s look softens into an innocent smile.
Si Wan, who has so far disguised herself well, feels angry instantly after hearing such words.
“How can you play jokes like this? You should know that because of your jokes some people may lose their jobs as well as many other precious things!”
Like an angry little leopard, Si Wan roars to him, after which people around all stop their work and look at her with astonishment.
Being aware that she has got kind of out of control, Si Wan immediately adjusts herself and talks to Feng Qi seriously.
“I hope that you will not play such jokes anymore.” After these words, she turns back and walks to the Director.
Seeing this, other people also return to their work.
How quickly she can change! Feng Qi laughs in his heart. Just now, she was like a little leopard with a strong killing power. But in an instant, she turns into a team leader who takes work seriously like a dragonfly captain. Amazing, so amazing.
With such an episode, today's shooting progress is much faster. Feng Qi is also surprisingly cooperative and capable, to which all the staff give a big thumb.
When the day’s shooting is over, Si Wan discusses with the staff to arrange the next day's work, after which she picks up her things and gets ready to go home.
However, when she turns back, a tall figure with a perfect proportion is waving to her not far away.
She thinks that after today’s unpleasant experience, Feng Qi would stay away from her, so she specially arranged the driver of the Company to drive Feng Qi back to the hotel with a Bentley. Now everyone has left, why is he still here?
Seeing Si Wan stand still, Feng Qi comes to her with a pitiful look and an innocent tone:

“What should I do? All the staff have left and forgotten about me!”
Si Wan doesn’t know what the hell to say.
As a famous model, Feng Qi is popular with so many people who will be in a line waiting for meeting him. Could he be left in the studio?
Si Wan feels so speechless. When making up a lie, please at least make it persuasive!
“It’s my fault. I didn’t arrange it properly. Now I will tell the company to send a limousine to pick you up.”
Her detached voice slowly floats into Feng Qi’s ears. He has tried every way to wait for her here, and has refused the limousine which was to take him back to the hotel, but he only receives her perfunctory words.
But there is no way out! It is he who has displeased this lady.
With a flattering look and a kind of childish tone, Feng Qi begs:
“Don’t bother! I know you also have a car. It’s OK that you take me back to the hotel!”
Looking at the man who puts on naive and cute airs in front of her, surprisingly Si Wan can’t feel anything disharmonious. It is really a pity that he is not an actor.
“My small car has no enough room for such a big star like you. What’s more, you have said that you only accept limousines, so I cannot afford to humble you in case you refuse to shoot again.”
Hearing Si Wan’s somewhat complaining words, Feng Qi takes a breath silently. This girl is quite vindictive!
“That’s all right. Last time I felt very comfortable in your car. As I'm a bit nostalgic, I even don't want to change the pillows I've slept with. Besides, we are already good friends, of course I won’t mind what car you drive.”
A bare-faced liar! Does he still remember his request of changing car and room?
“We have only met each other for a few times, what’s more, it’s only for the sake of work. I don’t deserve a star friend like you who are above my position.”

“It’s OK. I can lower myself!” While saying this, Feng Qi is also pushing Si Wan to where the car is parked. He really doesn’t consider himself as a stranger, which makes Si Wan very passive.
Driving the car with an indifferent look, Si Wan totally ignores Feng Qi who is half sitting and lying in the back seat.
He is really tolerant enough. In the back seat which can only hold two people, Feng Qi, who is 1.9 meters high, sits in a twisted posture with a smile on his face.
Although Si Wan gives him a brief glance unconsciously, Feng Qi, who is observing carefully, won’t give up such a chance to approach her.
“I know that I am so handsome that many people are fascinated by me. To be honest, if other people peep at me, I will absolutely make them blinded. But if it’s you…”
His body suddenly moves forward and his head reaches Si Wan’s driver’s seat, after which Si Wan’s neck is surrounded by a warm breath.
This scared Si Wan who is totally unprepared and the car suddenly jolts towards the roadblocks at the road side. After a sudden braking Feng Qi bumps his head on the car roof.
“Feng Qi, are you insane? If you want to die, just go to hell by yourself and don’t take me together!” Still being in shock, Si Wan growls at Feng Qi from the driver’s seat.
But the man in the back seat is rubbing his head painfully and innocently like a victim.
He seems to say that it is you who are driving the car, so it’s none of my business.
“Lady, could you make it clear? It is me whose head is bumped seriously, and now you must send me to hospital in case of cerebral concussion or cerebral hemorrhage!”
Hospital? I am good enough not to send you to the crematory. Si Wan says secretly in her heart, but to Feng Qi, she changes her words:
“If you didn’t approach me so closely in a sudden, how could I be sacred?”
Before she finishes, Feng Qi starts to retort.
“This car is so small, why can’t I stretch out? You are so cruel! I must go to hospital now, send me there immediately.”
He is really a complete wretch. Obviously, he has nothing wrong, but he insists on going to hospital.
More importantly, he is now cooperating with the Gongshi Group. What should they do if there is negative news after he goes to hospital?
He is so capricious that he never considers how much work others will have to do due to his unreasonable demands!
If only Gong Siming were here! With his temper, he would absolutely kick Feng Qi out.
To her surprise, Si Wan feels a little happy when thinking about this. No matter whether Gong Siming loves her or not, he is possessive enough to save her from the current predicament.
But it is a pity that he is now abroad. A slight loneliness flashes across Si Wan’s eyes.
Gong Siming, who is dealing with materials abroad, suddenly feels a slight heartache.
Standing up, Gong Siming slowly walks to the window and looks far away. What is she doing right now? It seems that his cold face turns kind of warm.
He has been abroad for such a long time. Every day he has to deal with the problems coming from the work without knowing the domestic situations.
Forget him. Distant water cannot quench present thirst. Rubbing her temples, Si Wan decides to depend on herself again.
