Xia Wei, who was left behind, did not care about Luo Ying’s instructions. She glanced at the things in her hand and pursed her lips. Then, she threw the cup into the trash can.

Compared to hot soy milk that was good for health, she clearly preferred bitter coffee that could make her energetic early in the morning!

Actresses were very harsh on their figures.

Of course, Xia Wei was not troubled by this. She just did not like the taste of soy milk. She threw away what she did not like without any psychological burden. Xia Wei walked towards Xu Kai in the middle of the crowd again.

After approaching, Xia Wei realized that the person surrounded by Xu Kai and the staff was very familiar.

“Wu Fan? Why are you here?” Xia Wei widened her eyes and looked at Big Manager Wu in the crowd. She asked in surprise.

Actually, Wu Fan had already discovered Xia Wei when Luo Ying came over.

Knowing that he could not avoid what should come, Wu Fan sighed softly and looked up at Xia Wei. “Why am 1 here? Of course I’m accompanying our ancestor and helping another little ancestor clean up the mess! I’m born to work. 1 have no choice.”

Wu Fan’s tone was not polite to Xia Wei, as if he was hiding a lot of depression.

Xia Wei looked at Wu Fan in confusion before slowly frowning.

She was naturally a very smart person. For Wu Fan to speak to her so strangely, it was obvious that he was “fighting for justice” for Jian Tan!

“Where is he? Shouldn’t he be busy with other things recently? Why did he suddenly take on such a role?” Xia Wei took two steps closer to Wu Fan and lowered her voice to ask anxiously.

When Wu Fan heard this, he looked at Xia Wei inexplicably, as if he did not expect Xia Wei to have such a huge reaction. After a few seconds of silence, he said lightly, “You should ask Jian Tan this question yourself! He is changing his costume in the tent at the back of the venue. He should have changed by now.”

After obtaining Jian Tan’s whereabouts from Wu Fan, Xia Wei turned to look at Xu Kai. The light in her eyes was a little dark. Then, she turned around and left, walking straight to the tent at the back.

Xu Kai did not know if it was his imagination, but he felt that there was a hint of danger and blame in the way Xia Wei looked at him just now.

When Luo Ying saw Xia Wei turn around and leave, she followed her with a puzzled expression. For a moment, she felt that Xia Wei went over to find someone to fight!

The makeup for period dramas was actually more cumbersome. In addition to wearing long hair sets, actors also had to wear layers of heavy costumes. Especially directors like Xu Kai, who valued the overall style of their characters, paid more attention to the costumes and makeup of actors.

Xia Wei had seen many movies starring Jian Tan, but this was the first time she had seen him in such an ancient costume.

As the ruler of a country, the Underworld Emperor’s attire was naturally the most extravagant. When Jian Tan wore the thick and gorgeous black robe, he seemed to be given some special enhancement.

If Lu Man’s image of the “Underworld Emperor” was only 60 points, Jian Tan’s image was full marks!

This outfit was much more convincing on Jian Tan than on Lu Man.

Xia Wei stared at Jian Tan for a long time. It was only when the makeup artist asked what was wrong that she suddenly came back to her senses. “1… I have something to say to Teacher Jian Tan. Sister Ping, can you guys go out first?”

The makeup artist called Sister Ping was the person in charge of the entire production team’s makeup. When she heard this, she looked at Xia Wei in confusion. Seeing the sincerity on her face, she nodded and called for her to leave. Before she left, she did not forget to remind Xia Wei to hurry up. Jian Tan had to go over and start filming soon.

After everyone around them dispersed, Xia Wei took a deep breath and raised her hand to gesture to Luo Ying, indicating for her to wait outside.

Luo Ying looked at the two people with a strange atmosphere in confusion and left.

Jian Tan had no intention of stopping Xia Wei’s series of actions.

His eyes under the emperor’s beaded head gear had been staring at Xia Wei, but they were blocked by the tassels of beads in front of him, so Xia Wei did not notice it for a moment.

“Why didn’t you tell me that you took on this role? Was it Ma Liang who begged you? This is just a low-budget web drama. Why did you take it on? If you have the time, why don’t you do other work?” Xia Wei’s tone was a little impatient, but she had already tried her best to control it..
