Chapter 170: President Chen Boyfriend Power Explosion (1)

Within a few days, the male lead for “Flourishing Willow in the Palace” will finally be decided. This time, they decided on a B-lister called Xu Chengkun, a graduate of the Capital Film Academy. He was an actor coming from a professional background with both the good looks and the acting skills. He also had enough popularity to compete with Xu Chaoran.

After confirming the candidate for the role, they posted a photo of the new male lead in costume on their official blog.

With two male leads coming and going, it’s only inevitable that they would be compared. Xu Chaoran was popular and good with his skills, but fortunately, Xu Chengkun was also popular and skillful. What’s more, Xu Chengkun had an even bigger advantage over Xu Chaoran. He was a proper actor who graduated from a film academy while Xu Chaoran was just someone picked up from the streets by his agent, Brother Wang. It was his outstanding looks and good luck that he was able to star in a web drama, becoming a popular figure from then on. But compared to a student who actually studied the profession, he was still far behind.

And as they continued to compare them, the fans even brought up the works they had participated in since their debuts, comparing all of them together. In his humble beginnings, Xu Chengkun took the role of a supporting character in an idol drama. Even though he wasn’t the supporting male lead, it was still an idol drama after all, which was way better than Xu Chaoran’s role as a supporting male lead of a web series.

Finally, besides comparing their works and roles, they also compared the brands they endorsed. With that comparison, Xu Chengkun actually won against Xu Chaoran.

And so, the fans and netizens were all looking forward to Xu Chengkun’s role as the male lead in “Flourishing Willow in the Palace”. They could all agree that he was the most suitable actor for the TV series, and more people were now paying attention to that show because of that.

On this day, Su Yaya received a call from the crew. They told her that she would able to join them in three days, and that was when “Flourishing Willow of the Palace” would begin its recording.

After receiving that call in the afternoon, Su Yaya prepared a hearty dinner that night while she waited for Chen Xiuqi to return.

At 7:30 in the evening, Chen Xiuqi returned from work. Su Yaya went over to get his bag for him and told him that dinner was ready. Chen Xiuqi changed his shoes and headed for the bathroom to wash his hands before coming out, and the two of them ate together at the dining table.

The two had been with each other for a long time and never had any restrictions on talking at the dinner table. So, Su Yaya told him about the call she received this afternoon from the crew, telling her to head back over for the filming.

“I’ll have to go back in three days to redo the recording,” Su Yaya said.

Chen Xiuqi raised his head and looked at her. He had actually known early on that the crew was restarting the filming soon, so he said to Su Yaya, “Mhm, work hard out there.”

Su Yaya looked at him, eyes filled with expectation. “Will you come to visit?”

Chen Xiuqi looked at her again while he set down a piece of rib into her bowl. “I’ll go if I’m free.”

“Really? When?” Su Yaya asked.

Chen Xiuqi said, “Let’s finish dinner first. I’ll tell Assistant Chen to arrange it later.”

“Okay.” Su Yaya picked up the ribs he put into her bowl and began chewing on it.

After dinner, Chen Xiuqi took the initiative to tidy up the table and wash the dishes. Su Yaya took out the script she had not touched for several days and had Chen Xiuqi look over it with her.

“Is this the part you’re playing?” Chen Xiuqi pointed to the contents of the script.

Su Yaya glanced over and nodded. “Yeah, help me take a look.”

Chen Xiuqi quickly glanced over the contents of the script and nodded to her. “Let’s begin.”

Su Yaya quickly began to act according to the script.

“Your highness, I have only come to Qianyuan Palace to send over this ginseng soup because I missed you. If your highness is unhappy with this, I will not come again.” Then, she pretended to be angry and looked as if she was going to leave.

Chen Xiuqi responded according to the script, “Do not leave, my love!”

Su Yaya peered at him, a tender pout at her lips, putting on a wronged expression. “But is your highness not shooing me off? I will just go.” Then, she began to leave again.

Chen Xiuqi quickly rushed forward to stop her. Reaching his hand up, he pinched her cheek and laughed, “I was only teasing you, don’t be angry.”
