Xue Ning put her hand down halfway.

She couldn’t take it anymore and fell to the ground. She opened her eyes and looked at the blue sky outside the palace.

The young emperor suddenly knelt down and stroked her.

“Mother!” He suddenly yelled.

However, Xue Ning couldn’t hear anymore. Her eyes were still wide open, but she was completely out of breath. She hadn’t died in peace because of indignation and hatred, but because of deep regret. Regret that she hadn’t realized it until the last moment of her life.

She was still smiling like a girl, and Xu Xiangjie had given her a close-up.

The entire set fell silent.

A few seconds later, Xu Xiangjie finally yelled, “Cut!”

He then added, “Good!”

The director’s voice seemed to come from a distant place to Ye Shengge. After a few seconds, she finally returned to the real world.

She stood up and was about to ask Xu Xiangjie if he wanted another one when she saw the tall and slender figure beside Xu Xiangjie.

Ye Shengge’s eyes widened, and she thought she was hallucinating.

The man’s expression was cold, and his dark eyes looked solemn.

Ye Shengge’s heart pounded as she stared at him. After a few seconds, she couldn’t help looking away.

She walked over slowly, ignored someone, and looked at Xu Xiangjie calmly. “Director Xu, do you want another one?”

Xu Xiangjie hesitated for a bit, took a look at Ji Shiting and coughed, “No need. That one was perfect. You are done!”

“Thank you, director.” Ye Shengge smiled. “I’ll go back and remove my makeup.”

She then turned around and left, as if she hadn’t seen Ji Shiting at all.

Xu Xiangjie was sweating.

However, Ji Shiting didn’t seem to mind. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the camera. “Are there any other video clips?”

Xu Xiangjie was dazed, then he nodded and said, “Of course. This way please.”

…

Ye Shengge returned to the break room to remove her makeup. Her entire outfit was very heavy, and it took her a lot of effort to remove it, thanks to the stylist and Lin Qi.

Lin Qi helped her take off her clothes and said, “Sister Shengge, how can you ignore Mr. Ji? He came to see you!”

“Give me my clothes,” Ye Shengge said.

Lin Qi could only sigh and get her clothes.

Ye Shengge wasn’t as calm as she looked.

She was obviously very happy to see Ji Shiting, but Ji Shiting didn’t intend to greet her. She couldn’t figure it out, and the environment wasn’t suitable, so she pretended not to know him.

She had actually been hoping that Ji Shiting would stop her, but the man hadn’t said a word until she walked back to the lounge. She was both angry and disappointed.

After removing her heavy makeup, she put on some simple makeup to cover up the birthmark. After that, more than half an hour had passed.

Ji Shiting still didn’t move.

Had she left?

Ye Shengge couldn’t stay calm anymore. She came to the set again, but she didn’t see that familiar figure.
