Ning Chuchu leaned forward slightly. Her eyes firmly locked on Pei Wang, and her voice was soft and persuasive: “Mr. Pei, I feel very honored that the Saintess of Divine Sound can meet the image of your heroine in your mind.”
“In that case, why don’t you cooperate with me? In a sense, it can also be regarded as making up for the regrets of the past, right?”
Ning Chuchu smiled lightly.
Ning Chuchu’s expression was quite calm. She didn’t feel embarrassed at all when she said ‘cooperating with her is to make up for the regrets’.
Pei Wang chuckled and shook his head, with a little helplessness and regret on his face.
He said in a deep voice: “Sorry, Miss Ning, I really can’t agree to your request.”
Seeing Ning Chuchu lower her head in disappointment, Pei Wang explained again: “I don’t have any opinions about you or the script, but… it’s my personal reason. I won’t take any roles in the next few years.”
Pei Wang raised his wrist to check his watch, stood up, and smiled lightly: “Miss Ning, thank you for taking the time to see me. After saying those words in my heart, I feel much more comfortable.”
“If you have any problems in the future, I will help to the best of my ability.”
Pei Wang nodded at her politely, “It’s getting late. I’ll go first.”
Pei Wang had already taken a step to leave and was about to end this conversation.
Ning Chuchu looked straight at his tall but slightly thin figure. Her eyes flickered.
If Pei Wang was allowed to leave now, it would be difficult to make an appointment with him again in the future. After all, he had already met the ‘Saintess of Divine Sound’ and would not be interested in meeting her in the short term.
The plan to invite Pei Wang to act in the movie would also go down the drain.
Ning Chuchu suddenly stood up and called out to Pei Wang who was about to leave. He stopped as he was told and turned to look at her in confusion.
Ning Chuchu had an elegant posture and a natural smile, but her palms were actually sweating from nervousness. She looked at Pei Wang’s cold eyebrows, took a deep breath, and said, “Mr. Pei, you refuse to cooperate with me because… you are not in good health?”
After her guess was verified by the Truth System, Ning Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief.
It was indeed the case. Considering that she was manipulated by the Truth System to say ‘very ill’ when they first met and that Pei Wang said that he refused to take the role for personal reasons, Ning Chuchu easily guessed this direction.
The remaining question was what disease Pei Wang had and whether it would be life-threatening.
However, Ning Chuchu absolutely could not use the Truth System to explore the cause of Pei Wang’s illness in public because this practice was extremely unethical. Moreover, if his illness was something unspeakable, it would be easy to completely offend Pei Wang.
Fortunately, someone asked on behalf of Ning Chuchu.
Pei Xingyan, who had been very quiet from beginning to end, frowned and looked at his ‘eldest nephew’.
He asked in a rare serious manner: “What’s wrong with your body? Do your parents know?”
Pei Wang was silent for a moment and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly. He didn’t insist on hiding it and said frankly: “It’s still the old problem, insomnia, but it has become more and more serious recently.”
Pei Wang did not elaborate on the hardships involved, but only he knew how torturous this insomnia problem was.
He hadn’t been able to sleep well for several years, and recently, he couldn’t sleep all night. All kinds of medicines and methods had been used, but with little effect.
Some time ago, he went to Italy to relax. His mind was a little more open, but he still couldn’t sleep.
He likes fishing very much. The process of quietly waiting for the fish to bite the hook can calm his mind. In the past, he would go fishing for a few days and occasionally sleep relatively well, but recently, even fishing had been useless.
