Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 814 - 816: Feeling Sorry for My Wife

"Cut!" Stanlanca called out predictably, announcing a break, letting Angus rest for a few seconds before shooting the scene again.

Angus surpassed everyone’s expectations. A simple line like "Join me, I’ll fulfill all your wishes" actually took ten takes to barely pass.

The staff were a bit uneasy, and Stanlanca’s face was growing darker.

Fortunately, the delay was temporary, and the subsequent shooting went smoothly.

From morning until evening, as the rain finally ceased, the crew wrapped up for the day.

In the evening, the rain-drenched night sky appeared even darker and more profound.

He Jinxia had already moved away from the lifestyle of living and eating on the ship. In less than ten days, she had adapted to the sensation of the ship’s rocking. Though she wasn’t as steady as the seasoned sailors who lived off fishing, she could still fool outsiders.

She blinked and suddenly found herself missing Sheng Yan.

After finishing filming "Special Action" and spending New Year’s Day at home, it wasn’t long before she returned for the shooting of "Devil’s Sea 4." Despite the foreign crew having plenty of rest time, she still felt a bit overwhelmed.

Normally, she wouldn’t reveal her exhaustion, but when the night was silent, she found herself a bit homesick.

He Jinxia regrettably thought, she hadn’t even attended the wrap party for "Special Action"...

Her phone rang, and she looked down, a gleam flashed in her eyes, and she answered.

"Hello?"

The man’s deep, rich voice sounded slowly, "Resting?"

He Jinxia shifted her position with the phone, softly replied, "Mm, yes, today while filming I was able to fully adapt to steady movement on the rocking ship, filming went smoothly, so we wrapped early."

Sheng Yan responded plainly, "I checked the weather forecast today, it was supposed to rain on R Island, Country L. I thought you might take a day off, you could have called me. I waited the entire day but didn’t hear from you."

Underlying his calm words was a hint of complaint and grievance.

He Jinxia smiled silently, her eyes curving again, softly saying, "Filming went on; we shoot in rain because this film is about sailing, where encountering storms is inevitable.

This day was calculated by the crew days in advance just to film the thrilling scenes when the storm hit."

She took a long breath, "I spent an entire day in the rain today, it was cold and wet. Being an actor isn’t easy; I heard you once filmed for three days in the rain, it was truly tough."

Sheng Yan frowned, "I’m a man, you’re a woman, naturally different in physique, how can you compare? Moreover, the news is often exaggerated, I don’t recall ever filming in the rain for three days."

He added, "At most, half a day."

He Jinxia: "..." That stung.

After a moment of silence, Sheng Yan proactively started a topic, speaking solemnly, "I checked online, girls staying in the rain too long can get cold in the womb, leading to pain during their monthly cycle. You’re too delicate, you must take care." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

He Jinxia mumbled, "The script’s storyline is like this, the thrilling parts mostly take place during storms, I can’t do anything about it."

Sheng Yan: "Mm, I’ll arrange a private doctor to visit you tomorrow. Since it’s impossible not to shoot, we must focus on post-care."

He Jinxia hesitated before saying, "Isn’t that inappropriate?"

Sheng Yan raised an eyebrow, "Why not? I’m your husband, can’t I care for my wife?"

He Jinxia’s face flushed slightly; what husband, they hadn’t even registered, not even close!

Sheng Yan seemed to hear He Jinxia’s inner thoughts and softly uttered two words, "Wifey~"

The sound, calling wifey with an emotional, gentle trill, intentionally lowered voice, sounded ambiguous and husky. Even through the phone, it pierced a soft corner of He Jinxia’s heart.

The next second, he used that captivating, lethal voice again, "Wifey, remember how you once brought riches and traveled a thousand miles to marry? You forget, I dare not."

He Jinxia: "..."

She knew when he suddenly used his voice to entice her, it was with ulterior motives!

Using her remaining rationality, she struggled, "The past is the past, nowadays we haven’t registered; you..."

You can’t call me wife and intrude on my life.

But before she could finish the sentence, Sheng Yan softly called into the phone, "Wifey..."

No reaction?

He called again, "Wifey..."

Still no reaction?

Sheng Yan’s eyes darkened slightly and used his trump card, "Wifey, do you love me or not?"

He Jinxia admitted defeat.

She rubbed her forehead, helplessly saying, "Love, of course."

If she didn’t love him, how could she agree to be together?

Sheng Yan detected the wavering in her voice, nurturing a softer tone, "You’re at the peak of your career, committed to filming, spending less time at home, and we see each other even less.

With you filming outside, I’m worried for your safety, fearing you won’t take good care of yourself. I’ll send a doctor over; she can look after your health. It’s not good to be in the rain for long; if your body suffers, what about our future child?"

He Jinxia’s thoughts were a bit scattered; child... baby?

She instinctively reached to touch her belly; would she later nurture a tiny life within her?

A little baby that looks like both Sheng Yan and her.

It’s said sons resemble mothers and daughters resemble fathers; would her child be like that?

In her ear, Sheng Yan’s gentle voice came, "Sound good?"

He Jinxia’s heart softened and she responded instinctively, "Okay."

Sheng Yan gently curved his lips in satisfaction, continuing to chat with her for a while before hanging up.

After He Jinxia hung up, she only then realized, wait, a few days later when a doctor suddenly appears at the set just for her, how would she explain it?

Should she say it was arranged by the company?

If arranged by the company, it wouldn’t have taken so long, not after filming had commenced a few days ago?

He Jinxia covered her face with a hand; she could already envisage the odd looks from everyone when the doctor arrived.

A chill wind blew gently, making He Jinxia shiver. Her mind emptied of all thoughts as she pulled her coat tighter, preparing to head to the dormitory.

Just after the rain, the weather was truly cold.

She turned her head, suddenly paused, spotting Angus nearby, staring at her with shocked disbelief.

Clearly, he had overheard her conversation with Sheng Yan earlier.

He Jinxia’s brain went blank, lips slightly parted, searching for a reason to explain but unsure where to start.

Angus, noticing He Jinxia had seen him, didn’t shy away, walking directly to her with a serious expression.
