Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 318 My car broke down, can I hitch a ride with you?

"I'd also appreciate it if Director Lu could take good care of my mother on set. As for Director Lu's new drama, I'll consider it. Once you're done with your work, please contact my assistant and we'll arrange a time to discuss the contract for the new drama."

Ning Duoduo's words implied that Lu Qingshan should forgive Ning Yao's mistake of taking leave this time and not want her to continue to pursue the matter.

"No problem, Auntie is with me, you can rest assured."

Lu Qingshan is a sensible person. She was only assigned to this drama at the last minute. If it weren't for Luo Xiangzhi from Xianyue Entertainment asking her to help, she wouldn't have wanted to take this role.

She has always liked to do things herself, whether it's movies or TV series, just like her children.

She had to start from scratch and participate in the entire process. She had never taken over something halfway through before; this was her first time doing it.

Oh, and there's Luo Xiangzhi. Luo Xiangzhi told her that Luo Xiyao is his niece...

Lu Qingshan felt a pang of sadness in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

She had seen quite a few large Buddha statues, but Luo Xiyao was simply too complicated for her to understand.

After Ning Duoduo finished speaking, she left. After Ning Yao saw her off to the car, she came back and found that everyone in the crew was staring at her, looking at her as if she were a monster.

Li Xuan, ever the gossip, leaned forward and whispered, "Xi Yao, could you help me get an autographed photo from Ning Yinghou? My younger brother is a huge fan of hers and keeps asking me to get him an autograph if we ever have the chance to meet Ning Duoduo."

Ning Duoduo just said she's Luo Xiyao's daughter. With such a close relationship, Luo Xiyao must be able to get an autographed photo, right?

“No problem.” Ning Yao glanced at Li Xuan and smiled kindly.

Liking her daughter is the same as liking her; it's just a perk for fans, nothing special.

"Wow, thank you so much!" Li Xuan jumped up on the spot, overjoyed.

Ning Yao smiled at Li Xuan, tidied herself up, and went to the backdrop to familiarize herself with the camera and find her position.

……

For the next two weeks, the crew had to go to the mountains to film an important cliff-jumping scene. The scenery by the mountain spring and waterfall was breathtaking.

The production crew provided cars for all the actors, but Ning Yao had too many people and was too embarrassed to use the crew's resources, so she bought two more vans to bring Rola's makeup artist team along. The space was spacious enough that there was no need for people to crowd together.

Just before setting off, Tang Xiaoge's car broke down. He had quite a few people with him, and with one car broken down, ten people were unable to continue.

Ning Yao had been listening to music with her eyes closed in the car until her phone rang. She opened her sleepy eyes and lazily answered the call.

"Miss Luo, it's like this, my car has a bit of a problem, and there are a few too many people. Could I borrow your van? Your van is the only one that's a bit empty in the crew; the others can't fit in." Tang Xiaoge's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Ning Yao agreed almost without hesitation, her voice hoarse.

"No problem, you can go directly there. Rola's car and the other one both have empty seats, and my car is also empty."

"Thank you." Tang Xiaoge didn't waste any words and directly put her people into Ning Yao's car.

As a result, there was one more person, and Tang Xiaoge went to the car that Ning Yao was in by herself.

A knock sounded on the door, and Guan Ying opened the car door for Ning Yao, where she saw Tang Yingdi standing outside.

Tang Xiaoge nodded to Guan Ying as a greeting. After getting into the car, he saw Ning Yao leaning lazily against the sofa.

She seemed to be dozing, her eyes tightly closed, two snow-white earphones plugged into her fair ears, her long black hair fluffy and soft, with a very good texture, which made her skin look as smooth as jade.

The woman's lips were slightly parted, as if she might drool at any moment...

This Luo Xiyao is completely different from the cunning and resilient Su Wanwan; her appearance exudes a gentle and lovely girlish charm.

Tang Xiaoge felt a slight tremor in his heart, but he didn't know what emotion it was. In any case, he didn't find Luo Xiyao annoying.

Noticing the movement in the car, Ning Yao opened her eyes. The moment she saw Tang Xiaoge, she sat up straight, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Seeing Ning Yao's shyness, Tang Xiaoge smiled slightly and gently changed the subject to prevent Ning Yao from feeling too embarrassed.

Are you afraid of heights? Do you have acrophobia or similar conditions?

Fear of heights? Ning Yao doesn't seem to have any fear of heights.

Her only fear used to be the seawater, but now that she has overcome even that, she feels invincible and unstoppable.

So she shook her head at Tang Xiaoge, her eyes revealing a mixture of determination and courage.

"That's good. Today's scene is about Su Wanwan falling off a cliff and the commander going to rescue her. The wind is strong at the cliff, so to achieve the best filming effect, you'll have to shoot at least four or five scenes and hang on the cliff edge for several hours."

Tang Xiaoge told Ning Yao in advance out of concern for her, so that she could be mentally prepared.

Ning Yao is talented. Throughout the filming process, she has hardly had any retakes. Most of the time, she can get the scene right in one take. In rare cases, a few more shots might be filmed, but that's only because Director Lu wants to achieve a better effect and keeps a few backups.

Are they supposed to hang on the edge of a cliff for hours, suspended by wires?

Ning Yao suddenly moved to the window, raised her hand and pulled open the blackout curtain to look at the situation in the valley.

The valley is towering high, and no one can see how deep the cliffs are below.

Wire work cannot guarantee 100% safety, so this shoot was extremely risky.

Ning Yao unconsciously bit her lower lip, a hint of conflict showing in her eyes, which Tang Xiaoge happened to catch.

"If you're scared, you can say so, but it won't do any good. Director Lu is known for being very strict. He will never allow stunt doubles to be used if the actors can use their own bodies, and he will never use a green screen if the scene can be filmed realistically."

Tang Xiaoge had always seen Ning Yao's cunning, intelligence, and resilience; she had never seen her afraid.

Now that I've seen her, I find it novel and interesting, and all I want to do is tease her a bit more.

"If the shooting results are not good today, we will continue tomorrow until we get a perfect shot. In the worst case, it is not something that can be solved in four or five hours."

As he expected, Ning Yao was truly amused, and the woman's face turned deathly pale.

"..." Ning Yao could already imagine how tough and tiring today's filming process would be.

"Here, take this. Tie it around your waist; it'll make you more comfortable," Tang Xiaoge said, taking a neatly folded cotton pad from her bag.

The car breaking down was just an excuse; he just wanted to find an opportunity to get into Ning Yao's car and secretly hand over the things to her.

Hand it to her personally, and then teach her how to use it.

Ning Yao glanced at the cotton cushion, took out her phone, snapped a picture, and then searched online to find out how to use it.

This thing is the metal that isolates the body when suspended by wires, so that the friction doesn't cause too much discomfort.

"Thank you, Teacher Tang. I'll need this." Ning Yao said with a smile as she took it.

By this time, she had largely processed her fear of being suspended in the air for four or five hours or more.

Tang Xiaoge was stunned by the unexpected question. He hadn't expected Ning Yao to be so clever as to search for instructions on her phone.

He was sitting right in front of her, but Ning Yao preferred to search for tutorials rather than ask him a question.

It seems she's either extremely independent, used to relying on herself for everything, or she simply dislikes him...

Tang Xiaoge automatically categorized Ning Yao into the previous category.

He absolutely refuses to admit it's the second point, and in fact, it's definitely not the second point.
