“Mm, not enough, give me another piece,”
Shen Jinghe glared at her.
But his hand obediently fed her another piece.
After one piece came another.
Qin Yulong, who was sitting opposite them, glanced at them: “Do I not exist?”
Shen Jinghe shot her a look, quite displeased.
“What, you want me to feed you, too?”
Qin Yulong: “…”
But this time, Shen Jinghe didn’t continue.
He turned his gaze back to Wenyan.
“I heard you say you’re looking to recast the male actor; are you planning to replace Xun Letian?”
“Right. You know what’s been happening online these days. There might be an issue with his character, and I can’t work with him anymore. Moreover, after this incident, the investors will probably consider replacing him. I was thinking, why let the opportunity go to waste elsewhere? Might as well let an actor from our own company take the role. Actually, the character’s persona is quite good, and Yulong agrees with my suggestion.”
Shen Jinghe nodded.
After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly spoke up.
“Then replace him with me.”
“You?” Qin Yulong was the first to respond, “This character is Wenyan’s CP in the drama.”
“I know.”
“You know, yet you still want to act? There are kissing scenes between the two characters.”
Shen Jinghe, unfazed, replied: “Since it’s CP, isn’t it common to have kissing scenes? What’s so strange about that?”
Qin Yulong’s eyebrows furrowed slightly: “It’s common for CP characters to have kissing and intimate scenes, but it’s rare for siblings to play CP and share intimate scenes. I don’t think it’s appropriate.”
“…” Shen Jinghe stared at Qin Yulong, “Are you joking? Don’t other people know, and aren’t you aware that Wenyan and I have no blood relation at all?”
“But you are siblings in name.” Anyway, Qin Yulong couldn’t accept being intimate with her own big brother, even if it was just acting.
“You wouldn’t want Wenyan to get scolded, right? If netizens find out about your relationship and you two play this CP, guess what the netizens would say?”
“But the netizens don’t know about it right now.”
“You also said ‘right now.’ If they don’t know now, what about later? They don’t know now because we haven’t brought it up, but what about the future?”
Qin Yulong and Shen Jinghe went back and forth, and the atmosphere in the office quickly became weird.
This made Wenyan feel embarrassed.
She immediately spoke up, breaking the deadlock.
“Well, actually, I have a more suitable candidate. Why don’t we all take a look?”
“Okay.” Qin Yulong immediately chimed in, “Who do you lean towards?”
“Oh, that guy, Gu Xiran, what do you think of him? I think he’s suitable for the role, both in appearance and acting skills. Moreover, he should be available right now. He’s also very popular, and if we replace him on short notice, I think the investors for ‘Legend of Chang’an’ won’t object.”
Qin Yulong nodded: “I remember him; he just wrapped up shooting with another crew, a good choice indeed. I was actually planning to recommend him, too. Since you agree, I’ll contact his agent right away.”
After speaking, Qin Yulong looked at Shen Jinghe: “‘Legend of Chang’an’ is a female-centric show. Though this role is the male lead, if we really talk about importance, it’s not the top bill. With your current status, I’m afraid your team won’t suggest you take on this role.”
“Exactly!” Wenyan helped smooth things over for Qin Yulong, “Second brother, you’re suited for movie leading roles. It’s simply overkill for you to make a cameo in such a drama; it would be a waste of your talent. I wouldn’t have the heart to ask you to come and save the show! I fear it would lower your status.”
Shen Jinghe: “…If you’re happy, that’s all that matters. I have other things to attend to, so I’m leaving now.”
“Let me walk you out.”
“No need, eat your fruit. It’ll go bad if you don’t finish it soon.”
“How could it go bad that quickly? It’s rare to see you; I must see you off.”
After saying this, Wenyan stood up quickly.
Shen Jinghe looked at her with a half-smile: “So eager to get rid of me?”
Wenyan: “That’s the pot calling the kettle black!!! Wasn’t it you who said you had things to take care of?”

Only after watching Shen Jinghe leave did Wenyan quickly return to Qin Yulong’s side.
“Yulong, you were a bit too much just now, so awkward. Second brother was probably just trying to save the day; you made it so hard for me to even feel embarrassed.”
“Really?” Qin Yulong frowned, “I didn’t think too much at the time; I just subconsciously felt it wasn’t suitable.”
