The Wife of Hades

The next day, An Luxia left for work and entered the set location, which was at a movie theater this time. The theater was emptied of all other people, although there were a lot of extras waiting inside to film.

When she arrived, she sat down in her usual spot next to the director, looking around and seeing Qin Hui sitting not too far away, reading her script.

Meanwhile, Yu Xiao was nowhere in sight, which An Luxia found quite weird. She had wanted to clarify some things with him today.

Several minutes later, it was two minutes before the set time to start filming, but Yu Xiao had still not arrived. Director Liu stood up, looking around with his eyebrows tightly knit together.

"Have any of you seen Yu Xiao yet?! Where is he?" He screamed through his speaker, and everyone shook their heads as they looked around as well.

Qin Hui looked around, also a little surprised. Director Liu was also getting impatient as he pulled out his phone and dialed Yu Xiao's number.

After a few silent seconds in the large movie theater, he angrily hung up the call, screaming to his assistant, "Call his company! What is he doing?! Not showing up without even telling us."

Beneath the ground inside the Mo mansion, Yu Xiao slowly blinked his eyes open, taking a while before he got used to the dim lighting inside the room.

He knit his eyebrows together, wondering where he was. This wasn't his room. After a few seconds, he realized that he was not alone inside this room, and he looked up, his eyes meeting with Mo Han's.

"Who are. . ." Then, Yu Xiao's eyes widened slightly as he remembered who this man was, "You're An Luxia's boyfriend!"

Mo Han's face darkened as he bent down, narrowing his eyes, "Husband. Get it right."

Yu Xiao furrowed his eyebrows together, looking around at the dark and cold room he was in, and he was laying on the cold ground, sending chills through his entire body.

"Where are we?" 

Mo Han scoffed, "You mean where are you? This is my house."

Yu Xiao looked around the tiny space, scrunching his nose up in distaste, "Your house? Well. . ."

Although he did not complete his sentence, the look on his face exposed his inner thoughts. However, Mo Han did not really care about his thoughts and he did not want to waste any time on him as well, so he bent down and simply said.

  "I told you to stay away from Luxia, but you didn't seem to understand, so I will tell you again. I am certain that after today, you won't dare go bother her ever again."

  He then turned around and walked out of the room, and two other men entered, both of them tall and strong, "Make sure you don't attack his face. After all, that's what he lives on," Mo Han commanded with a smile before leaving the room.

Yu Xiao was left alone with the two men inside the cold area.

When Yu Xiao woke up, he was somehow inside his own room again with the blanket covering him as if nothing had happened.

The afternoon sun shone into the room, and he pushed himself up, his entire body sore and burning with pain. However, when he rolled up his sleeves and his pants, there were no marks on it.

And, there was absolutely no clues or evidence of what had just happened except for the pain only he felt, and it made him wonder if it had all been a dream.

However, when he struggled to stand up and saw the slip of paper resting on his nightstand, he knew that it hadn't been a dream.

The paper read: 'Remember what I said.'

Right after he read it, the paper burst into flames, catching him by surprise. He stumbled back, losing his balance and falling down onto the bed again with a thumb as he watched the tiny slip of paper set on fire, burning into nothing as the flames disappeared as well.

What type of magic was that?! He must be seeing things!

  He grabbed his phone and looked at the time and date, and he gasped when he realized that he was late for filming already. Half a day late! And it was all because of that guy! He would certainly get back at him.

There was no way he would let that guy run away after doing this to him. With his fans and influence, he would certainly put that guy to jail!

As he hurriedly entered the restroom, he heard his phone ring so he ran back to his bedroom, hissing in pain and picked up his phone. It was his assistant.

"I know, I know. An accident happened to me so I'm late. Tell the director I'll be there in half an hour."

  The assistant did not reply for several seconds, and he stuttered several times before finally saying, "Xiaoxiao, don't go to the filming set. Come to the company and hurry!"

  The tone in Miao Mu's voice made Yu Xiao uneasy as he knit his eyebrows together and asked, "What happened? Why -"

"Ah, just come and hurry!" Then, Miao Mu hung up, leaving Yu Xiao in confusion as he stared at his phone until it turned dark and closed.

Yu Xiao quickly changed and put on sunglasses and a mask before leaving his house. The company was not too far away, and he arrived within twenty minutes. However, once he arrived, he knew that something was wrong.

Outside the company, a large group of people were gathered in front, all holding signs that he could not read. He frowned, wondering how his fans figured out that he was coming. How was he going to enter the company with all these fans crowded outside?

Ah, troubles of being too popular. He put on a hat that covered his upper face and parked the car a distance away from the group of fans, trying to get out of the car and enter the company. However, once he shut the door, one of the fans noticed him and immediately pointed at him, screaming to the others of his arrival.

At once, they all began charging towards him, and Yu Xiao quickly hid back into the car, locking the doors and quickly driving away. As he watched the fans, he frowned as he noticed something wrong with their reaction.

Shouldn't they all be surprised and excited about seeing him? Why did they seem. . . angry? The sports car quickly charged away, and he roughly saw one of the signs, and he seemed to read the word 'ban', but he couldn't be sure.

As he drove away from the company, he angrily called his assistant, "Mu Miao, what are you doing?! There are so many people outside the company! How am I supposed to get in?"

"Oh, they still haven't left yet! Why don't you go to the underground parking lot then."

  Yu Xiao sighed annoyedly and hung up without another word, turning back around to go park in the underground parking ground.

After shutting the door, he took the elevator up to the top floor, where the meeting room was. He was late to filming and they wanted to hold a meeting? What for?!

  He walked into the meeting room and couldn't hide the shock when he saw a ton of people inside, including his agent, the manager of his department, and even the director. 

They all turned to look at him as he walked in, and he felt a little uncomfortable as he sat down in the chair, "What is this meeting for? I'm late to filming -"

"Why were you late to the filming?" His agent immediately asked him. His agent was a middle-aged woman, and she was a very strict and serious woman, which was shown in the same black suit she wore every day and the box glasses she wore over her narrow eyes.

"I. . ." Yu Xiao didn't know how to phrase it.

'Oh, I was kidnapped by the husband of An Luxia, who by the way is the author of the book that was adapted into the film I am starring in right now. He brought me to his house and had people hit me, but there are no bruises or scars on any part of my body but yes, they hit me. And then they sent me back to my room somehow, and when I woke up, it was already noon.'

Yes, if he said that they would totally believe him - Of course he couldn't say that! 

"Something happened and I couldn't make it. You guys will know about it later."

  This only made his agent more mad as she slammed her fist onto the table, "Then what about the news?"

  Yu Xiao frowned, "What news? Sister Yang Xin, do you have to be so mad just because I was a little late for one day? Couldn't they film the other scenes first?"

Yang Xin did not calm down because of what he said, but instead opened up her phone and tossed it across the table, "You tell me what news."

  Yu Xiao was confused and angry as he snatched the phone and looked at the article that was opened. At once, his face fell.

'Superstar Idol Yu Xiao is a Playboy?'
