“Alright.” Qiao Ning hung up the phone and went to find Chai Xiyang.
It was a weekend, and Chai Xiyang decided to skip work and stay home with her and their child.
Chai Xiyang was at the garden playing football with their child when Qiao Ning approached him with her concerns. He responded, hand on his hips, “I’ve already had someone looking into it, but most of the capable directors are busy these days and many aren’t available. As for the ones who are available, I don’t really want to consider them if they’re not up to par.”
But it was hard to find such top-tier talent.
“What can we do then?” Qiao Ning asked worryingly.
Chai Xiyang conceded, “We could only wait and resume filming in one or two months, who knows, maybe by then, Chen Shuinan will have recovered.”
“Waiting one or two months would be too long…”
“So, what do you suggest we do? We can’t just pick someone randomly to direct, I’d rather have you do it than settling for a less competent option.” Chai Xiyang casually suggested, yet, the idea began to intrigue him as soon as he said it out loud.
Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Qiao Ning retorted, “What are you looking at?”
Chai Xiyang coyly smiled, “Ningning, how about you direct it? We can’t proceed with filming right now anyway. You can take it slow, do as much as you can.”
“Me? How can I do that? What if I mess up? I don’t have much experience,” Qiao Ning protested.
“If you mess up, we’ll just start over. Consider it as a way to hone your skills,” Chai Xiyang indulgently suggested, “You’ve always wanted to be a director. Here’s your chance to practice with this drama series. Don’t stress about it—just do your best. If it doesn’t turn out well, we’ll simply reshoot next year.”
“This is too wasteful!”
“Then do your best. You graduated with a film directing degree, and you’ve been learning from Shuinan for a while. I’ll find some extra help for you. There’s no issue with making it work.”
“But…”
“This is a rare opportunity. The script is written by you, perhaps you are the best fit to maintain the original essence.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Ning’s eyes sparkled, and she couldn’t deny her interest.
Being a director was her dream, and she had written this script. It would be great if she could be the one to bring it to life…
Actually, she was reluctant to have another director take charge.
None of them directed as well as Chen Shuinan, and their styles were distinctly different. Take Wan Feng for instance, despite his talent, the scenes he shot during the brief period were totally different from Shuinan’s work.
Every time she saw his work, she wished she could correct it herself.
If she directed, she could follow Shuinan’s style. He had already directed content for a month, and she really liked what he had produced so far.
Qiao Ning knew this was a rare opportunity— it might succeed, or it might fail!
But she had to seize it.
“Alright, I’ll do it!” She suddenly declared with resolve.
Chai Xiyang thought she would refuse. Surprisingly, she agreed swiftly.
Seeing the determination in her eyes made his heart flutter.

Yet, he regretted his suggestion…
“Let’s forget it. Directing can be strenuous, and I don’t want you to work that hard. More importantly, I don’t want you to be away from home for a long period.” As Chai Xiyang voiced this out, the more unwilling he became.
Then he firmly declared, “I’ll find another director, you don’t need to go. You just rest at home!”
“Brother, don’t do this…” Qiao Ning was incredulous. “No way, you’ve already agreed. I’m going to direct it. You can’t go back on your word.”
“Why can’t I go back on my word? The thought of not seeing you for a long period of time, I would take back anything!” Chai Xiyang stubbornly retorted, wrapping his arms around her, “Ningning, don’t go. Can’t you just stay home and keep me company?”
