The Genius Doctor, My Wife, Is Valiant

“So how many days has it been?”

“Um….. seven? Or perhaps eight?”

Jing Qian had had enough of it.

“How many days have I been absent from the set?”

Jing Qian gave up on asking Jihua, and turned to Zhan Lichuan instead.

Zhan Lichun was currently peeling an apple. The red skin of the apple was slowly coming off with the sharp blade of a knife. As the apple’s juice slowly dripped down while being peeled, it landed on Zhan Lichuan’s long and appealing fingers.

Jing Qian couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

In fact….. She never really liked apples.

“You can rest however many days you want.”

Zhan Lichuan saw that Jing Qian’s eyes were on his hands, and asked in a gentle tone, “Would you like some? Give me a minute, I’ll peel it for you.”

Ji Hua, who was on the other end of the phone call, was confused.

What did he mean?

Give him a minute? Peel?

Wasn’t her boss a paralyzed man?

Ji Hua thought that he may have interpreted it wrongly.

Jing Qian didn’t get the answer that she wanted from Ji Hua and Zhan Lichuan, so she ended the call.

But, she clearly remembered only taking a two day leave.

Since she had decided to step into the industry, she should follow the rules–and Jing Qian was someone who insisted on following them.

Therefore, she decided to call Yunxiao.

“Qianqian, why did you suddenly think of calling me? Have you encountered something disturbing? If you need help with anything, you should let me know.”

Yunxiao knew about Master Zhan’s accident but since Jing Qian hadn’t told him about it, he wasn’t in any position to ask about it, which is why he could only care for his little sister in this manner.

“There’s nothing that I need help with. I just remembered today that I only asked for a 2 day leave. If I have any scenes today, I can come over right now.”

As she thought of how Zhan Lichuan was now in his recovery phase after the surgery was a success, there wasn’t much that she could do. She planned on returning to the set but she didn’t expect for Master Zhan to be met with an accident.

Then, with so many things on her plate, she totally forgot about the drama.

“It’s alright. Ji Hua already informed the director about it. For the next few days, only Maggie and Qin Yi would be needed on set. You can rest for a few more days and settle things at home before coming back.”

“Ohhhhhhh.” So, Ji Hua did inform the director about it.

But….. Why did she only mention it now?

“How many days would Qin Yi and Maggie need? I’ll come over when they’re done.”

“Three days.”

“Three days” They needed that long?

Jing Qian was about to speak when Yunxiao added, “Oh, I made a mistake. I think it was ten days.”

On the other end of the call, Yunxiao was gently rubbing his now bruised shin after being kicked by his mother, with tears in his eyes.

“You just have to focus on things back home. You already know that although the scenes are planned to take four months, since we work really well together, most of them can be finished in one take. The director even told us that it may only take half the time that he initially planned so you don’t have to worry about it. Let them finish the other scenes first. If there’s anything important here, I’ll call and let you know.”

“Alright.”

Jing Qinan trusted Yunxiao and accepted his explanation.

This was because the drama was a recreation of a famous novel. There were obviously scenes that were lovey dovey, but because the screening of it had become much stricter recently and most of the scenes that required close physical contact had been removed; even kissing wasn’t allowed. After changing the scenes, her relationship with the main lead was just like a pair of siblings who have been through thick and thin. There was only love and care left, with no lust between them. Jing Qian and Yunxiao were able to accept the concept which is why it was much easier for them to complete the scenes.

Yunxiao’s explanation made sense as well. Jing Qian didn’t think too much about it and ended the call.

As she turned around after finishing the call, she saw an apple that had a huge hole in it after being stabbed and twisted by a knife.
