The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 47 - Do You Want Me to Hurt You? 2

Luckily, the director called “action” from the set, drawing everyone’s attention to Liu Zimi.

Gu Xiaoai sat on Li Juefeng’s lap, casually picking up the nearby script to glance through it.

This scene revolved around the female protagonist, played by Liu Zimi, who had to sacrifice herself to the tyrant king of an enemy nation for the sake of her own country. Yet, her heart remained tied to her beloved back home…

The actor playing the king was a rugged, middle-aged man. In the shot, he shoved Liu Zimi onto the bed.

Perhaps it was because Li Juefeng was present on set, but Liu Zimi appeared far more energized during her performance compared to usual. Her high-pitched moans resonated loudly throughout the room, causing even Gu Xiaoai, as a fellow woman, to shudder involuntarily.

“That’s not right,” Gu Xiaoai murmured subconsciously, setting the script aside.

Li Juefeng leaned in and lightly bit her ear. “Mm, she’s not as charming as you.”

“…Pervert,” Gu Xiaoai muttered under her breath, cursing him softly.

“Zimi, you’re doing it wrong!” The chief director stood up and yelled “cut,” unable to restrain himself. “You need to convey the internal conflict! Although your body is being seized by the emperor, your mind should be thinking of your lover back home. You need to show it in your expression! It’s not just about making loud noises!”

“What do you mean I have no acting skills?!” Liu Zimi protested angrily as she shoved the man playing the king off her and sat up from the bed. Her voice was agitated as she countered, “If you can’t capture the right moment, how is that my fault?!”

She failed to deliver the complex emotion required, yet blamed the others for not capturing it.

An award-winning actress… but that’s all she amounted to.

“You-” The chief director restrained himself from bursting into anger due to Li Juefeng being nearby. He simply said, “Everyone, get ready for another take.”

In front of the camera, Liu Zimi was shoved onto the bed again. Her gasps continued, her face still laden with a seductive charm.

“Cut! Not right-”

“Cut! Do it again!”

“Cut, cut, cut! Zimi, I’ve told you, it’s not just about being loud! We’re not filming an adult movie!”

…

The director’s repeated calls for “cut” left Liu Zimi’s expression increasingly sour. Again and again, she found herself pinned to the bed, subjected to the actor’s pressing hands.

Gu Xiaoai watched quietly. As Liu Zimi’s gaze drifted toward the camera’s direction, without warning, Gu Xiaoai tilted her head up and kissed Li Juefeng on his eye. She didn’t pull away for a long time.

Everyone noticed. The surrounding area grew still, enveloped in silence.

Li Juefeng’s gaze darkened as he looked deeper into her eyes, leaning forward to kiss her lips. Gu Xiaoai quickly turned her face away, thwarting his intention.

She hadn’t forgotten-his lips had just been intimately locked with Liu Zimi’s moments earlier. The thought made her feel repulsed.
