Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Chapter 1454: Excited

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“It’s like this... Because the movie hasn’t been released yet, we need to keep it a secret... You know, it’s convenient for outsiders to be around...” Shi Hanchu put on an awkward expression. “To compensate, this meal is on me. And I’ll treat the two of you again another day. Is this okay?”

“Sure, sure! Of course!” The suited man smiled and said, “Work is more important! Work is more important!”

Su Manman was speechless.

The suited man went to the washroom and came back later...

Su Manman smiled politely and nodded.

Su Manman asked as Shi Hanchu sat down opposite her, “Why didn’t Director Chen call me directly?”

“How’s the drink? Do you like it?” Shi Hanchu asked after sitting down.

Su Manman glanced at the glass and said, “So-so...”

“It’s Freshly-squeezed lemon juice, yet the taste is ordinary...”

Su Manman’s expression darkened. She looked at Shi Hanchu but said nothing.

Seeing Su Manman sitting there with her arms crossed, glaring at him, Shi Hanchu asked, “Why did you lie and say that your taste buds have recovered?”

Su Manman raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean, Shi Hanchu?”

“Why are you lying?” Shi Hanchu frowned.

“Don’t tell me you think I’m doing this for you!” Su Manman, whose attitude towards Shi Hanchu had been cold that evening, suddenly covered her mouth and chuckled. “God Shi, you’re overthinking... I just don’t want my family and grandma to worry!”

Shi Hanchu looked straight into Su Manman’s eyes and didn’t say a word. He said, “I know an old Chinese doctor. When filming isn’t yet too busy these coming days, I’ll take you there to get you checked!”

“Tsk... isn’t it especially easy for you to feel guilty?” Su Manman smiled as she leaned back in her chair, a hint of mockery on her lips.

“It’s settled then. If you don’t want your family to know that your taste buds have yet to recover!” Shi Hanchu stood up after saying that.

Su Manman’s smile became increasingly vibrant, but her eyes were still cold. “Shi Hanchu, there’s something I’m very curious about!”

Shi Hanchu turned around and looked at Su Manman.

Su Manman held her chin with one hand and asked casually, “Did you like Jiang Mingzhu for her face or her character?”

Shi Hanchu’s eyes darkened. There was a sinister coldness in his eyes. He took a deep look at Su Manman before turning to leave.

Su Manman laughed softly. She took her bag, took out her wallet, put down the money, and got up to leave, saying nothing...

When the suited man came back, he realized that Su Manman had gone. He had a dazed look on his face, but he still went to ask Shi Hanchu. Shi Hanchu had only told him he had returned to his table for his meal and hadn’t paid attention.

The suited man didn’t chase after Su Manman. After all, Su Manman drove there in her own car.

He couldn’t help but ask Shi Hanchu if he could add Shi Hanchu on WeChat. Shi Hanchu was very kind, but he was giving him the one he usually didn’t use.

The man in the suit left contentedly.

“What did you say to Manman just now? She was so angry that she left without even saying goodbye?” Tu Jie asked Shi Hanchu.

Shi Hanchu lowered his head and ate the food on his plate. “Nothing!”

Upon returning home, Su Manman felt extremely vexed...

Thinking about how she was returning to the filming set the next day, she took a hot bath. Her mind was filled with the coldness in Shi Hanchu’s eyes when she mentioned Jiang Mingzhu.

If Jiang Mingzhu was really so important to him, why couldn’t he sense her presence before him?

Actually, even Su Manman herself was conflicted!

Whether it was Su Manman or Jiang Mingzhu... They were both her.

It was a good thing that Shi Hanchu had feelings for Jiang Mingzhu, which meant that he was a sentimental person...

Su Manman persuaded herself.

She came out of the bathtub, looked at herself in the mirror, and chuckled...

She was probably the only person in the world who was jealous of herself.

Su Manman shook her head and walked out of the bathroom. Only then did she see countless WeChat messages from the man in the suit on her phone...

What the hell? More than twenty messages...

[Man in a suit: Manman, why did you leave? You didn’t tell me!]

[Man in a suit: I’m so happy to see Shi Hanchu...]

Su Manman was speechless.

The following messages were all praises for Shi Hanchu. Su Manman no longer had the mood to continue reading them.

She put down her phone and wiped her hair.

“Ding dong—”

The phone vibrated.

Su Manman glanced at it. This time... it was Shi Hanchu.

[Shi Hanchu: I’ve already gotten Director Chen’s permission. We can leave at 6 pm tomorrow.]

Su Manman really didn’t know what to reply to Shi Hanchu. She pursed her lips and returned his message with a voice message...

“God Shi is really a man of his words! But if you ask someone out... you have to consider if the other person has time too, right?”

Su Manman’s tone was light.

Very quickly, Shi Hanchu replied...

[Shi Hanchu: Director Chen won’t arrange anything else for you tomorrow.]

Su Manman bit her lip and replied...

“My friend is visiting tomorrow. I don’t have time.”

[Shi Hanchu: The one who ate with you today?]

“Su Manman: Yes, him...”

[Shi Hanchu: I added him on WeChat today. I’ll ask him.]

Su Manman: “?”

She seemed to have seen the man in a suit send her a WeChat message saying that he had added Shi Hanchu.

Su Manman exited the chat interface with Shi Hanchu and opened the chat interface with the man in the suit. She took a look...

Su Manman was speechless.

When did they add each other on WeChat?

“Ding dong—”

The phone vibrated. Shi Hanchu sent a screenshot of his conversation with the suited man.

Su Manman was speechless.

Did Shi Hanchu have to be so serious?

“Do you really want me to tell you that I don’t want to go with you?”

[Shi Hanchu: Do you really want me to tell your family that your taste buds haven’t recovered?]

Why did she never realize that Shi Hanchu was such a troublemaker?

Su Manman didn’t reply, and Shi Hanchu didn’t say anything else.

Su Manman slept in a huff. The next morning, she was woken up by Dong Dong at five. She packed her luggage and headed to the set.

Because Su Manman was having a break to recover, the filming crew had quite a relaxing time.

After all, the female lead wasn’t around. What was there to film?

Everyone thought that when Su Manman finally returned, Director Chen Wenhua would force them to work harder, even doing overtime.

Who knew that Director Chen Wenhua would end the filming at 5:40 pm? He said he was still worried about Su Manman’s health.

At 6:10 pm, Shi Hanchu had already removed his makeup and was fully ready to take Su Manman to the TCM doctor. Su Manman looked helpless.

Dong dong’s heart almost jumped out of her chest. She thought that Shi Hanchu was going on a date with Su Manman, so she was extremely excited.

But with Shi Hanchu around, she didn’t dare to ask...

She held it in.
