Chapter 958: Isn’t It Great That You Two Can Team Up as a Couple?
Song Yao had heard from Lin Nuan that, other than Lin Nuan’s female character, the other main leads were almost always together!
The director got out of the car, looking hesitant. Still, he walked towards Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan.
The corners of Cen Mo’s lips turned up. There was an inconcealable smug smile in his eyes.
Saihand couldn’t understand this smile of Cen Mo, but it did make it feel as though Cen Mo wasn’t as otherworldly as before! Saihand smiled too. There wasn’t anyone happier than Saihand to see Cen Mo smiling more and more each day.
The director looked in Fu Huai’an’s direction, fearful of the powerful and intimidating aura Fu Huai’an gave off!
He gripped the corner of his shirt and summoned the courage to walk towards Fu Huai’an, who was wiping Tuan Tuan’s lips.
“Mr. Fu…” the director called out.
Seeing Fu Huai’an look up, the director’s throat vibrated.
He said, “I heard that you used to be a top performer in the special forces. This time, our male lead got injured, and he won’t be able to do some actions that are of a high difficulty level. You’re a professional, so I’m thinking…”
The director found it hard to say what was to follow. Standing before him was Mr. Fu, the biggest fortune god for their movie. And there he was, coming over to ask the fortune god to be the stunt double of a little-known actor. Was he joking or what?
The director couldn’t make himself continue. After swallowing his saliva with much difficulty, he wanted to open his mouth, but he didn’t know how to put it.
Even if he were to invite Fu Huai’an to be the male lead, the latter might not be willing, much less a stunt double…
Upon seeing the director come over, Cen Mo planned to help. He hadn’t expected to see the director looking hesitant to raise the request when he came over, so he spoke first. “Did you… come here to ask Mr. Fu to act as the male lead?”
Cen Mo then looked towards Fu Huai’an. “I think it will work. The female lead is Lin Nuan, and the male lead is you… Isn’t it great that you two can team up as a couple? I briefly looked through the script just now, and at the end of the movie, there’s a scene where the female lead is grateful to the male lead for saving her life… and kisses him. If I were you, I’d consider taking on the role of the male lead myself! Think about it, can you tolerate seeing Lin Nuan kiss someone else?”
Cen Mo had his own intentions. If Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan were bound to work at the set, he and Tuan Tuan would have more time to interact!
He was asking on the director’s behalf, but when the director heard this, his heart sank. He lowered his head and said, “Mr. Fu, all of our main leads, other than Lin Nuan, whose role doesn’t require physical stamina, started training seven months in advance, nearly four hours a day. They bore a heavy burden from their military stance to the way they use guns. They all took part in all sorts of physical training. Although these actors aren’t well-known, it’s not easy for them to get to where they are today for this movie. I have no plans to replace them. I came over with a thick face, hoping that you can take on the trouble of helping the male lead complete several of the most difficult actions. I know it’s very inappropriate for me to ask something like this of you, but I’m very sorry, I really…”
At this point, the director raised his head and looked at Fu Huai’an, his gaze sincere.
Meeting Fu Huai’an’s black and deep eyes, this time around, the director didn’t evade but pleaded, “Please!”
Lin Nuan, who was chatting with Song Yao by the side, also heard the director’s request. She looked towards Fu Huai’an…
As if sensing Lin Nuan was looking at him, Fu Huai’an’s vision turned towards Lin Nuan.
Their gazes met. Lin Nuan had a questioning look in her eyes, as well as anticipation.
Ever since Lin Nuan found out that Fu Huai’an was the soldier who rescued her from the terrorists’ hideout, she had wanted to see Fu Huai’an in his combat uniform. She thought that she’d never be able to see it in this lifetime…
This time, coming to film in Morocco, such scenes made Lin Nuan involuntarily think about the past.
The director asked Fu Huai’an to help. Regardless of what Fu Huai’an thought, Lin Nuan was a little tempted.
Seeing Fu Huai’an remain silent, Cen Mo spoke again, saying, “This is a movie your wife is acting in, do consider it…”
“Want me to help?” Fu Huai’an asked.
The director nodded repeatedly, but he then realized that Fu Huai’an wasn’t looking at him. Following Fu Huai’an’s gaze, the director saw that Fu Huai’an was asking Lin Nuan for her opinion. Feeling hopeful, the director looked at Lin Nuan with a pleading expression.
Lin Nuan nodded at Fu Huai’an and couldn’t resist smiling. “I think if I miss this opportunity, I won’t get the chance to see you in a combat uniform again!”
Fu Huai’an nodded, then looked at Tuan Tuan, who was in his arms. He stroked Tuan Tuan on his head. “Do you want to see it too, Tuan Tuan?”
The director then looked towards the adorable little one in Fu Huai’an’s arms, a sincere pleading look in his eyes.
The little one stared in confusion and curiosity at the young director before him, who was bowing with his hands folded in front.
“Does Tuan Tuan want to see Papa wear a combat uniform? See what Papa looked like when he rescued you and Mama?”
The little one’s eyes lit up instantly. He slid down from Fu Huai’an’s lap, then, placing both hands on Fu Huai’an’s knees, said earnestly, “Papa, want to watch!”
Fu Huai’an pinched Tuan Tuan’s chubby little face and nodded. “Okay…”
For some reason, when the director heard Fu Huai’an say the word “okay,” his heart rose to his throat, and his gaze focused on Fu Huai’an without shifting even for a moment.
“Do you have the appropriate clothes?” Fu Huai’an asked the director.
The director nodded repeatedly. “Yes yes yes yes yes!”
Cen Mo smiled. He reached out to carry Tuan Tuan. “Look… Papa and Mama need to film the movie. Shall Uncle and Aunt play with you?”
Cen Mo was in an excellent mood, so his voice sounded more cheerful too.
“Let that one cooperate with me!” Fu Huai’an pointed at Cen Mo. “Does Tuan Tuan want to see Uncle and Papa wear combat uniforms?”
When Tuan Tuan heard this, he clapped loudly. He turned to gaze at Cen Mo, shouting in English, “Yes!”
Cen Mo was rendered speechless.
He wanted to send Fu Huai’an away to build up his relationship with Tuan Tuan, not with Fu Huai’an. Why would he want to be someone’s stunt double with Fu Huai’an—did he have nothing better to do!
“I want to see it too!” Song Yao lent support to Tuan Tuan.
Again, Cen Mo was rendered speechless.
He wanted to develop his relationship with his nephew in peace. Why was this so difficult to achieve? Even Song Yao was making trouble for him!
But since his woman had such a request, Cen Mo couldn’t very well refuse her, especially when his woman was pregnant…
“I don’t think it’s appropriate! With you going in as a stunt double, I’d be extra!” Cen Mo gave a superficial smile.
“Sir, I want to see it too!” Saihand spoke up as well.
“Why are you adding to the trouble?” Cen Mo frowned at Saihand.
Saihand smiled and lowered his head at Cen Mo’s response, then retreated a step.
