Son, “Mom” Will Back You

Chapter 116

When her brain was working again, Gu Nian looked at Assistant Director Lin, mortified, and blurted out, "No, most definitely no!"

Assistant Director Lin, "… …?"

The air in the office froze for a few second. Assistant Director Lin, watching Gu Nian who was both alarmed and solemn, busted out laughing, "Okay, it might be a little tricky but do you need to overreact like that?"

Gu Nian was anxious, "This is not a matter of it being tricky, alright?"

Assistant Director Lin, "Well, what is it then?"

Gu Nian, "It's…"

It was straight up immoral, of course!

By now Gu Nian was completely startled awake by the words "kiss scene" and was no longer sleepy. As frantic as she was, she still remembered that she could not say what was on her mind out loud in front of Luo Xiu.

As such, Gu Nian struggled for a few seconds and lowered her eyes in defeat, "I really can't."

"Why not?" Assistant Director Lin, his coffee mug in hand, smiled and muddled things up with the girl whose age was less than half of his. "We didn't exactly force you. You had agreed to it yourself and now you want to back paddle just after a few seconds? That's not the right thing to do, is it now?"

"I am not back-paddling, I just didn't hear…."

Half way through explaining herself, Gu Nian finally had it figured out. She looked up and looked at Assistant Director Lin, dispirited. "You set me up purposefully."

Assistant Director Lin put on an innocent look. "You can't just go around accusing others – Luo Xiu had been standing behind you this entire time. He can be my witness."

"… …"

Gu Nian wanted to turn around and check on Luo Xiu's reaction but, half way through doing so, she stopped for unknown reasons.

Assistant Director Lin captured all of the girl's hesitations and the changes in her emotions and look. He lowered his head and blew on the tea leavings, using his mug to hide the smile on him.

"Besides, you were Zong Shiyi's body double last time and you did a good job."

Gu Nian recollected herself and grinded her teeth subtly. Maintaining her expressionless look, she said, "You can't compare that with a kiss scene."

"Both were intimate scenes that Zong Shiyi had declined to be in. What are their differences?"

Gu Nian frowned and was reminded of it. "Zhang Xiying declined again?"

Assistant Director Lin put on a show and sighed. "Our hands are tied as well. Our female lead refused to compromise no matter what. She would rather feign illness than to be in the scene. What choices do we have? If you really refuse to do it, then…"

"?"

Gu Nian looked up immediately and waited for Assistant Director Lin's suggestion.

Then she saw Assistant Director Lin gave her an evil grin and said, "Then, we will delete the scene?"

Gu Nian, "?!"

"No way!!" said Gu Nian with a solemn look without any hesitation.

Assistant Director Lin, "Why not?"

"We can't delete this scene. This entire scene is the final interpretation of Yuantan's character. The character will not be complete without this scene! So how can we take out such an important scene?!"

Assistant Director Lin stretched out his hands. "Well, what other choices do we have?"

Gu Nian, "… …"

The director team was just pulling the same trick as they had done in the past. Gu Nian had that figured out already. Nevertheless, just as they had expected, the time that Luo Xiu can get on screen as Yuantan was very important to Gu Nian…

Gu Nian paused, troubled.

Looking at the girl's struggle, Assistant Director Lin figured it was about time. He put down the coffee mug in his hand and said, "If that really bothers you, Director Geng said we can just have a kiss scene from a different angle."

"-- --"

Gu Nian looked up abruptly.

Having a kiss scene from a different angle… …

So it was still a kiss scene but there would be no actual contact! It was nothing more than the thickness of air between two people being decreased. It was no different than two individuals talking to each other, closely!

After Gu Nian had repeated that to herself 180 times and suppressing her conscience which tried to chime into the conversation. Gu Nian finally lowered her head, dispirited. "… Alright, I'll do it."

Assistant Director Lin almost busted out laughing.
