AD Chapter 38

When Gu Lingfeng said he was taking Su Ning back to the hotel and told Chu Zichen to return to the set alone, Su Ning didn’t dare to voice any opinion. He didn’t really care where he went, but considering that Gu Lingfeng was his real boss, of course he’d do whatever Gu Lingfeng said.
Even though it was clearly Gu Lingfeng’s order and not Su Ning’s own will, Chu Zichen still held a grudge against Su Ning. He felt that if it weren’t for Su Ning deliberately seducing Gu Lingfeng, Gu Lingfeng wouldn’t have abandoned him and chosen Su Ning instead.
Su Ning had no idea what Chu Zichen was thinking. If he did, he would probably feel terribly wronged.
Gu Lingfeng, on the other hand, was fully aware of Chu Zichen’s little thoughts—but he didn’t care at all.
“I’m just taking back my assistant. What, have you forgotten whose assistant Su Ning originally was?” Gu Lingfeng’s indifferent remark left Chu Zichen speechless, though he was unwilling to let go of the opportunity Su Ning had seemingly stolen from him.
“But… but does it have to be so rushed? Su Ning’s been on set for so long, he can’t just leave without saying anything. He should at least go back and say goodbye, pack his things or something. You could let him return tomorrow on his own.”
Gu Lingfeng’s tone grew impatient. “I’ve been busy lately. I need an obedient and sensible assistant. I’ll arrange for someone thoughtful to take over your side.”
Maybe it was Fan Xin’s words still ringing in his ears, but Gu Lingfeng actually blurted out the words “obedient and sensible,” and nearly added “good-tempered” before catching himself in time.
He frowned.
Seeing Gu Lingfeng frown, Chu Zichen thought he was growing annoyed and dared not speak further. He lowered his head and sat there, fingers twisting nervously, looking like he was about to cry.
In truth, Gu Lingfeng was quite satisfied with Chu Zichen as a lover—good-looking face, flexible body, uninhibited. Seeing him looking so pitiful, he leaned over and planted a kliss on his cheek, soothing him:
“Be good. Focus on filming. Once this drama wraps up, there’ll be other arrangements.”
That was basically a promise of more resources. If it had been Fan Xin, she would’ve been thrilled by now and wouldn’t have cared about whether the man stayed or not.
But Chu Zichen wasn’t happy at all. Compared to his career, he wanted Gu Lingfeng to spend more time with him.
In the end, Su Ning only packed up a few things before following Gu Lingfeng back to the hotel.
Honestly, after some time away from Gu Lingfeng, it felt a little strange being his assistant again.
Although working for Gu Lingfeng was busy and demanding, everything was practical and solvable; not like being around Chu Zichen, who would deliberately nitpick no matter what Su Ning did. And his complaints were always about the same few things, repeated over and over—extremely annoying.
Su Ning followed behind Gu Lingfeng into the hotel room and instinctively began tidying up.
Su Ning knew that aside from him, Gu Lingfeng had several other work assistants who occasionally helped with personal matters, like sending clothes to the laundry or booking flights and hotels. However, Gu Lingfeng didn’t like having people constantly around him, and he certainly wouldn’t live with them. So, sometimes things became inconvenient.
For example—
“Su Ning, bring me a pair of underwear.” Gu Lingfeng’s voice came from the bathroom. It was muffled through the glass door but still clear enough.
“Oh, coming.”
Su Ning responded naturally and efficiently found a pair of black underwear. His face flushed slightly as he looked at it. He pressed his lips together and brought it to the bathroom door, knocking lightly.
“President Gu.”
The door opened, and a wave of heat and steam hit him. Along with it came the sight of the man’s bare body. Su Ning quickly lowered his head, not daring to look, and held up the underwear with both hands.
“Your... your underwear.”
When no one took it for a while, Su Ning looked up in confusion—and before he could clearly see the man's expression, a strong force pulled him into the bathroom.
“Together,” came the low, hoarse voice in his ear.
Su Ning swallowed hard. He was pulled tightly into Gu Lingfeng’s embrace, his clothes quickly soaked by the water.
They made love once in the bathroom, then moved to the bed.
Maybe it had been a while since they’d last done it. Seeing the obedient young man lying there passively, Gu Lingfeng couldn’t suppress his desire and pressed down—
At the height of their passion, Su Ning suddenly trembled and cried out, “Ow, it hurts—my leg—!”
Interrupted at a moment like that, Gu Lingfeng’s expression darkened, but seeing the genuine pain on Su Ning’s face, he held back his irritation and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“My leg... it cramped.” Su Ning reached down to clutch his calf, his lashes wet with tears—whether from pain or something else.
Gu Lingfeng frowned and took Su Ning’s leg in his hand, massaging it. “Here?”
Su Ning cried out in pain, then bit his lip to stifle the sound. He hadn’t meant for this to happen now, but the cramp struck out of nowhere, and he had no control over it.
Feeling embarrassed and afraid that Gu Lingfeng would be angry, Su Ning looked up cautiously—sure enough, the man’s face was dark, clearly in a bad mood.
After a few moments of massage, the pain eased, but Gu Lingfeng was still frowning. “Why did you cramp all of a sudden?”
They’d done it so many times before and never had this happen.
Su Ning, both embarrassed and ashamed, kept his head down and murmured, “I guess I’ve just been too tired lately… and haven’t rested properly.”
During his time assisting Chu Zichen, he’d barely had a moment’s peace. Chu Zichen was demanding, constantly finding things for Su Ning to do. If there were night shoots, he’d have to stay up too. Even during supposed rest days, Chu Zichen would come up with random tasks to keep him busy—either going to bed late or waking up early. In any case, never letting him get a proper sleep.
Su Ning didn’t go into detail, not wanting it to sound like he was tattling. But Gu Lingfeng still got the message.
Back when they were on set, Fan Xin had actually complained to him about Chu Zichen. At the time, Gu Lingfeng hadn’t thought much of it—just figured it was normal to be a little tired on the job.
But now, with Chu Zichen’s behavior affecting his sex life, Gu Lingfeng was genuinely displeased.
He thought to himself: Chu Zichen really doesn’t know his place.
