Chapter 177 It’s an advantage for you
[She must have seen our CP name and made it up on the spot.]
【is that so? 】
"Yes, yes. Sister, let's just be quiet and be alone. It's okay. Look at my sincere eyes."
At the same time, the makeup artist received many private messages.
[Sisters, there's no need to be so sincere when it comes to supporting fake couples. ]
[Shhhhhhh....almost scared our little cutie away. 】
Our super topic is so low-key, I don't know how my sister managed to get in. But since you're here, we're all family. Family members don't have to talk behind each other's backs. Just eat some industrial saccharin yourself, don't try to pin it on the real owner.

No, every word she said, even the punctuation marks, were true. Why didn't anyone believe her?
Fu Xiuyan returned to the hotel after finishing filming that evening. Just as he was finishing packing, Director Li knocked on his door. Fu Xiuyan wiped his hair and went to open the door, which only opened a crack. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Let's talk about work inside." Director Li pushed the door open and stepped in.
Unexpectedly, Fu Xiuyan slammed the door shut again, nearly trapping Director Li's half-extended foot. The gap left was even smaller than it was at the beginning.
Director Li took a big step back in fear: "Fu Xiuyan! What are you doing?"
Fu Xiuyan peeked out from the crack in the door. "What do I need to ask you? Why are you breaking into the actor's room in the middle of the night?"
Director Li was so angry that his temples were throbbing. "Work! Work! I'm talking to you about work, can't you hear me?"
"I'm off work now. We can talk tomorrow if there's work."
Director Li was astonished. He had worked with Fu Xiuyan quite a bit. Everyone else only knew Fu Xiuyan as a skilled actor. But he knew Fu Xiuyan was more than just an actor; he also delved deeply into filming techniques, camerawork, and dialogue. If he weren't so indifferent to behind-the-scenes work, he'd surely become a brilliant director. So whenever he felt undecided, Director Li would always talk to him. He always placed a stool next to him on set that belonged to Fu Xiuyan. But this was the first time he'd been turned away.
"When do you get off work? When you were on the set, weren't you on standby 24 hours a day? In the past, when were you not always..."
“Am I the same person now as I was then?”
"What's the difference?"
Fu Xiuyan's eyes were full of pride: "I was single before, but now I have a family. I must always keep my distance from irrelevant people."
"I know you, I know you're in a relationship. Do you really need to emphasize this to me every day? It's like you're the only one in the world with a partner. Just let me in!"
"How can it be the same? None of your partners are as pretty as mine."
"Okay, okay, your boyfriend is the most handsome! Then let me in first. How can we be like this at the door?"
"I told you, we can talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to say." Fu Xiuyan was about to close the door when Director Li held him back.
"If you won't let me in to talk, then I'll go back and call Xiao Xia myself?"
Fu Xiuyan's grip loosened, and the gap in the door widened even further.
"Director Li, what do you want to talk to me about?" Xia Yang's voice suddenly came from inside the door.
Director Li poked his head in. "Xiao Xia is here? When did she come?"
Fu Xiuyan reluctantly opened the door and let Director Li in. He waved his phone in front of Director Li and said, "Here."
"Hey, Xiao Xia, why aren't you asleep so late?"
Fu Xiuyan held the phone close to himself, and Director Li didn't hear clearly what Xia Yang said.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Director Li's eyes wandered around: "I received the lyrics written by Xiaoxia. I want to express my gratitude to Xiaoxia."
"Just transfer the money, there's no need to do this superficial work."
Director Li walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. "How is that the same? Money is too cold. Gratitude is still necessary."
"Your thanks have been received, you can go back."
Director Li pulled out a jar of pickled vegetables from the refrigerator. "Sure enough! Your fans are right, you're such a stingy person! You hid so much for yourself?! And only gave me a little. Xiaoxia, your grandma's pickled vegetables are so delicious."
Fu Xiuyan reluctantly turned up the volume on his phone, and Xia Yang's voice came: "If Director Li likes it, take more."
"I wanted to take more, but some people were unwilling to do so."
"He's willing. Grandma made a lot more today. I'll send some over after you finish eating."
"Our Xiao Xia is still the best." Director Li looked at Fu Xiuyan with a victorious attitude.
Xia Yang spoke up, and Fu Xiuyan reluctantly agreed, "One-third at most, no more."
Director Li found a container and started to pack the vegetables out.
Fu Xiuyan kept staring at it and said, "Add another 10% to Xia Xia's song payment."
"What statement?"
"The previous contract was only for composing the lyrics. It didn't include the singing part."
"Singing? Isn't it you who sings?"
Fu Xiuyan rolled his eyes at Director Li and said, "You're in luck. Our first duet as a couple is dedicated to your movie. Just be happy about it. I've sent you a clip of the audio, please listen to it."
Director Li turned on the audio, revealing the part with Xia Yang's backing vocals. Her voice was clear, conveying a gentle yet powerful feeling. Complemented by Fu Xiuyan's powerful vocals, they tugged and restrained each other.
Director Li immediately slapped his thigh and said, "I'll have someone prepare the contract right away." Then he quickly left with the pickles he had packaged.
Fu Xiuyan locked the door and complained to Xia Yang, "You're so old, and you still come to my place in the middle of the night to get free food and drinks."
Xia Yang narrowed her eyes and asked him, "When did I agree to sing with you?"
"You disagreed. Why didn't you refute me when I told Li Mu just now?"
"I want to save your face in front of outsiders so that others won't say you're henpecked."
"My Xia Xia is not just my wife, Xia Xia is my heaven."
"All right, your God agrees. I've earned another fortune from Mr. Fu."
"My wife is really capable. Unlike me and Yu Chi who always spend money outside, my wife only brings money home. I will rely on her to support me in the future."
"Are you easy to raise? If not, I won't raise you."
"It's easy to keep. It can survive with just steamed buns and pickles." Fu Xiuyan put the pickles back into the refrigerator and continued to mutter, "You stole so much from me... I didn't ask for enough money just now."
Xia Yang chuckled: "I made a lot again today, enough for you to eat. Why are you so stingy that you have to ask for it back."
"Did you go to grandma's house?"
"Yeah. I came back this afternoon."
"I see the headboard is the same as the one at home?"
"Well, I..." Xia Yang was halfway through her sentence when there was a knock on the door. She turned off the speaker, put her phone upside down, and said to the door, "Come in."
