Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

Chapter 262

262 Playing Piper like a fool

“What does he have that I don’t? My parents have money too. I’m more handsome than him, I’m more talented, and you clearly like me better than you do him, so why can’t you love me, Xi’er? Is it because he… he was your first? I don’t mind that, I’m not a virgin-

“No!” She immediately cut in and hurriedly shook her head. “That’s not true-”

“Then what’s the truth?!” He frowned in confusion. “Tell me, what?” He pulled her to his chest and rested his forehead on hers. Their breaths intertwined as they fought the urge to kiss.

Outside their world, the crew couldn’t help but be stunned and lost in the drama playing before them. This was absolutely more than just acting. No one would believe they were acting, it’s simply impossible!

Director Mathew and his Assistant glanced at each other with mouth agape. This was more than they expected. It was simply too awesome that he refused to yell ‘cut‘ even though they’ve exhausted their

lines.

“Director, shouldn’t you stop recording? They’ve ended their lines,” Feng Long said to the Director in a hushed voice. He was almost going nuts from seeing this. It was taking him all his self control to restrain from storming in and beating Brian up.

Brian’s two Assistants glanced at each other with worry on their faces. This is bad. They knew this would happen. They just hope he won’t act foolishly this time.

Piper’s heart was racing so much that she was scared it could compete with a sports car. She was anxious, excited, and bitter. It wasn’t easy being in this close proximity with her high school boyfriend. 1

The hate that he has for her cannot be put in words. She believed that if not for a reason, he would. have long killed her, but what she didn’t understand was that, why would a person who hates her so much, act this gentle and real with her? What is Brian planning to do?

The more she thought about it, the more anxious and unsettled she got. Before she could pick her mind back to reality, she felt his soft lips on hers.

Piper froze after a while, she wanted to push him away but for some reason she couldn’t bring herself to do so and instead, she locked her hands behind his head and deepened the kiss.

The Second Female lead who was supposed to shoot Piper after her dialogue with Brian stood behind them in a daze. This wasn’t a part of the story, what was going on?

Well, they all could tell what was going on but they just couldn’t believe this was real.

Feng Long couldn’t take it anymore and strode into the scene. He yanked them apart and greeted Brian’s face with a powerful punch.

Brian fell back and felt a warm liquid on his lower lip. He lazily passed his tongue over the injury and tasted his own blood. Brian curled his lips into a sneer and said to Piper: “As I thought, you are pathetic and cheap,” he turned around and left the scene without looking back.

Everyone finally returned to life after the wonderful drama to see Piper slapping Feng Long.

“Who the hell do you think you are?!” She screamed before storming off as tears blinded her vision. Brian’s words hurt her deeply and she was mad at Fend Long for being the reason she was insulted. Feng Long stood there in a daze, embarrassed and heartbroken. What did he do wrong? Awkwardness filled the air as the crew tried not to make a sound. This was no longer acting and nobody wanted to be

in Feng Long’s bad book. He might be calm and collected but he also has some nuts that were not properly screwed in his brain. 2

As for Brian, he had long lost all his nuts, so they try to avoid him as much as they could.

“Ahem, we’ll round up for today and come back after three days. By then, you would have calmed down.” Director Mathew called it a day.

The best thing about bringing Brian and Oliver together is that those two tend to make a splendid drama without the scripts. The fight that just happened won’t be cut out of the drama. Thanks to them, color was added to the last few episodes that were supposed to be boring with the Female lead living the remaining days of her life in sadness and mourning Brian.

Since the drama had been altered, Director Matthew thought he would leave the ending for them to make by themselves, after all, it has happened a few times where he made them decide the end of a movie with their freestyle acting.

Whatever happens three days from now will be the final ending to TIMELESS. So the director thought.

Inside the black van that was speeding away from the set, sat Brian with his head resting on the seat. His mind flashed to the kissing scene of just now and he slowly touched his plastered lip.

A while later, his brows furrowed in disgust and anger.

“Brother Brian, where would you like to go?” One of the assistants asked.

“Don’t I have a deal to sign?”

“Yes, I thought you would like to postpone it.”

“No, it’s fine, I can’t risk that man yelling my head off” He said lazilyBelonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Hahaha… Your Manager is out of town, so he won’t be yelling anytime soon.”

“Does he not have a phone?” Brian raised a brow.

“Oh, that’s true…haha.”

Even though Brian is cold–hearted and indifferent, or arrogant to others, he has a good relationship with his team, which is why his Manager and Assistants are ready to die for him.

Inside Piper’s white car, she looked restless and annoyed. She couldn’t believe she allowed emotions to get the better of her. Why did she think Brian would truly want to kiss her? Why did she think that he was genuine? Why did she forget that it was just acting and that Brian likes to go off scripts and

make it real sometimes.

She traveled down memory lane…

Ten years ago, she was just a teenager who was under the Influence of her mother to gain the recognition of her father, Patriarch Xu, so she also attended the school for the elites.

There she met Brian and Feng Long. They were all classmates who turned good friends but before they knew it, she and Brian started dating.
