CHAPTER 842: CHAPTER 844: GOT CHEATED ON?

Around Angus, there were many male staff teasing him, while around Jinxia, there were also many female staff, all embracing one another. After more than four months of hard work, "Devil’s Sea 4" was finally wrapped up!

Stanlanca watched their lively scene, feeling a sense of relief. It wasn’t easy!

Before the shooting began, when he chose He Jinxia as the lead actress, he anticipated that many would criticize and scold him. Publicly releasing her audition video was a public relations strategy he thought of on the spot.

Unexpectedly, this method hit the mark, earning Jinxia a wave of fans and also restoring some confidence in some prejudiced viewers of "Devil’s Sea 4," who began to anticipate what this Huaxia actress could bring to the character of the Elf Princess.

Over the past few months of filming, Stanlanca observed everything. From initially being uncertain about Jinxia to now being deeply convinced, this Huaxia girl had a unique charm as an actress!

She was even better than he had imagined!

Stanlanca believed that once the movie was released, it would undoubtedly amaze everyone!

For him, choosing a Huaxia actress as the lead was a major challenge, a huge gamble. How many such gambles does one have in life?

Stanlanca didn’t know.

But he was very certain that this was far more thrilling than the previous "Devil’s Sea 3"!

During the third film’s shooting, he didn’t have such a bad mindset, though the box office and reviews for the third film were quite...

Stanlanca snapped out of his reverie, deciding to stop dwelling on these troubling matters, and laughed: "Hurry and tidy up, let’s gather for a big group photo, and then head off the island for a wrap party!"

All the staff responded: "Dear director, I want to eat Huaxia food; those crayfish last time were so delicious, I really want to have them again!"

"Director, let’s have Huaxia hotpot, that taste was so exhilarating!"

"Stinky tofu, I want to eat stinky tofu!"

...

Stanlanca waved his hand grandly, saying, "Quickly tidy up, and I’ll take you off the island to eat at a top-notch buffet at a Huaxia restaurant, with seafood, abalone, ginseng, sushi, fried noodles, hotpot, desserts, you name it!"

"Oh yeah, long live the director!"

"Director, you’re the best person!"

"Director, you’re the best boss in the world!"

Amidst the commotion, Jinxia began to remove her makeup. The Elf Princess’s makeup was rather heavy, requiring a thick layer of foundation every day to match the elf aesthetic preferred by Western audiences.

Her skin was already quite fair, but the Elf Princess’s whiteness was different from a healthy glow; it was a pale white, requiring a heavy base layer daily.

Because of the makeup, her skin had developed a few pimples, which took some effort to subside.

With the film wrap-up, a doctor who was specially sent by Sheng Yan and accompanied her, was traveling back to Huaxia with Jinxia, providing her company on the way back.

The wrap-up occurred quite early, still in the morning, and Jinxia estimated that she would be able to attend the wrap party in the evening and then fly to Huaxia.

After more than four months of being together, everyone in the crew got along well. With the movie finished, they now faced separation. At the wrap party, several staff members expressed their reluctance to part.

Jinxia had attended a few wrap parties before, and compared to those in her home country, this foreign wrap party seemed more heartfelt.

Hearing this made her eyes slightly red.

Don’t think too much; it’s not that she’s overly sensitive, but some staff members themselves began to bawl as they spoke, looking especially sorrowful.

The sad atmosphere was contagious, which unknowingly reddened her eyes as well.

However, sadness is one thing, but the revelry at the wrap party is another.

The foreign crew cried passionately but also played crazily.

After being in the crew for more than four months, living a busy and routine life, with the film wrapped, everyone felt liberated, and they excitedly sang karaoke and played games.

Some even suggested going to a nightclub, which Stanlanca refused.

Nightclubs were chaotic; for some seasoned members, it was fine, but there were those who had never been to one.

And they were unfamiliar with the rules in these nightclubs; taking them in unprepared might result in some trouble.

After all, there’s no reasoning with drunkards.

Jinxia accompanied them throughout, and when the time was almost right, she bid them goodbye, preparing to leave.

Some staff members clutched her hand unwillingly, saying: "We haven’t had dinner yet, our plan is to have dinner together. Aren’t you joining us?"

Jinxia took out her phone to check the time and declined: "My flight is in an hour; I won’t make it."

Luggage had already been packed after the movie wrap, when everyone was ready to leave the island, so there was no extra packing needed.

Someone teasingly said: "Lisa, don’t stop her from meeting her boyfriend, Jinxia is rushing back to Huaxia!"

These words stirred memories among many staff; during last year’s New Year, Jinxia’s family came to visit, among them a young man in a mask with a tall stature.

At that time, since they weren’t very familiar with Jinxia, plus with Stanlanca’s prior warning not to pry into others’ private lives, no one asked about her relationship with the man.

Some speculated he was a boyfriend, others thought he might be a distant relative, and yet others guessed he was her brother or cousin.

With the topic brought up again, Lisa’s curiosity got the better of her, and she asked: "Jinxia, was the tall man we saw during the New Year your boyfriend?"

Jinxia’s expression softened, her whole being radiating a warm glow, with eyes slightly curved and brimming with starlight.

She softly replied: "He is not my boyfriend."

"Pfft—"

Angus was drinking water, and upon hearing this, he unexpectedly spit it out and started coughing violently.

Sheng Yan, were you betrayed?

This was earth-shattering news!

To others, his behavior appeared to indicate something different, and someone teased:

"Angus, Jinxia doesn’t have a boyfriend, so seize the opportunity!"

"Yes, Angus, Jinxia is great and suits your personality."

"Go for it, Angus!"

Angus was still coughing, his face turning red, feeling that the coughing was getting worse.

He was in a tough spot inside, how could he dare to touch Sheng Yan’s woman?

Oh dear, if they insisted, why didn’t they go after it?

Jinxia watched the scene with an amused expression, then suddenly cleared her throat, clapped her hands, and looked at them with a bright smile:

"I don’t have a boyfriend, but I do have a fiancé. The man you saw during the New Year is my fiancé."
