After Cannon Fodder A Accidentally Marked the Cold Film Queen - Chapter 4

Zhu Songning: “Ah?”

R-responsible?

Didn’t the famous actress, Shen, misunderstand? She really wants a useless Alpha like her to take responsibility for her?

“Have you thought this through? Since you know my name, you must have heard what kind of person I am.”

Zhu Songning was incredulous, but still managed to maintain her composure.

The matter between her and Lu Conghuan was not a secret in the entertainment industry, and it was even used as a joke and topic of conversation by many after dinner. Only Lu Conghuan’s fans were kept in the dark, believing their idol was a pure, innocent girl who didn’t understand love.

If Shen Qingyu knew her, she must also know about her past.

“I’m just a useless Alpha who couldn’t even keep her own girlfriend…”

Before Zhu Songning could finish her self-deprecating words, a cool hand covered her lips.

Even though the heating was on inside, the Omega’s body temperature was still low, and her skin was an almost transparent white, giving the impression that she might vanish at any second.

“Ten million, marry me.”

Ten million?

She could painlessly get ten million just by getting married?

Zhu Songning quietly gasped.

This was much more generous than that bastard System.

She had worked herself to death for the System for three years to earn ten million, yet Shen Qingyu offered that amount right off the bat.

But…

Why would Shen Qingyu want to marry her?

A sense of caution slowly rose in her heart.

Could this be a trap?

Due to her profession, Zhu Songning had dealt with many wealthy people before and understood the scams behind high-society marriages.

Could it be some financial risk she had to bear, or was she hiding a child and waiting for her to become a ‘takeover A’?

As if sensing her thoughts, Shen Qingyu explained: “My mother left me shares before she passed away, but I need to be married to inherit them.”

“Perhaps this is a bit sudden, but I sincerely hope to invite you to be my partner for a period of time…”

Ten million.

This was not sudden at all.

Zhu Songning: “What do I need to do? I only brought my ID today, we can go and register whenever you want—”

Hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to the ten million, wouldn’t it?

Zhu Songning’s eyes were sparkling. Looking at her, Shen Qingyu was reminded of a Bichon Frise puppy.

When the puppy runs, its two ears on either side of its head flop around as if they’re about to fly off.

“Then I’ll have my assistant help make an appointment with the Bureau of Civil Affairs later.”

The Omega’s gentle gaze fell upon her. She clasped her hands in front of her, leaning forward, seemingly genuinely considering her well-being.

“Of course, I also understand how you must feel after just being broken up with. So, if you need it, I can do my best to help you overcome the emotional trauma of your previous relationship.”

“…No, there’s no need.”

Right now, Shen Qingyu was her Client Mom, and Zhu Songning was very much aware of her working-class duty. How could she trouble the client?

She should be the one exhausting herself for the client, alright?

An agreement marriage scenario—she understood it.

Half an hour later.

Zhu Songning held a brightly colored red marriage certificate in her hand, still a little dazed.

Having lived two lives in two worlds, this was the first time she had entered into a marital relationship with someone.

The feeling was both novel and strange to her.

“Don’t worry, I won’t expose our marriage to the public except for necessary occasions,” Zhu Songning had always been very professional. “Oh, right, what about the prenuptial agreement? How do we sign it?”

Shen Qingyu smiled: “Then let’s have three rules.”

Is it coming?

Zhu Songning sat up straight, her spirits roused.

Don’t worry, she would certainly be a compliant, honest, and dutiful agreement Alpha who only talks about money and not feelings!

After a pause, she heard Shen Qingyu slowly say, “I’ll have my assistant add your name to all the real estate under my name. In addition, I’ll give you a secondary card for my salary account; feel free to spend whatever you want…”

“I only have three requests.”

“One, keep your distance from other Omegas.”

“Two, move in and live with me.”

“Three, a normal wife-and-wife life once a week.”

Zhu Songning: “Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm. — Hmm?”

Wait.

Wasn’t this an agreement marriage?

Why was she giving her all the assets?

And a request for a sex life?

This doesn’t seem right?!

Shen Qingyu put on a white overcoat, looking down to tidy the hair caught under her collar.

The winter wind blew, and the faint scent from her hair instantly wafted into Zhu Songning’s nose.

This fragrance was so misleading that Zhu Songning felt momentarily seduced, floating on air.

She remembered when she woke up in the morning, how the Omega had flowed over her like liquid, and how her long, dark, lustrous hair was spread out over her, like a blooming flower.

Shen Qingyu observed her expression and lowered her head.

From Zhu Songning’s perspective, it was her perfectly flawless profile and excessively long, delicate eyelashes.

She said softly, “It’s fine, I can understand if you can’t accept me right now. After all, Miss Zhu just ended her last relationship, and it’s perfectly normal that you can’t forget your ex…”

Why is Lu Conghuan being brought up again?

What is this about not forgetting her ex?

Zhu Songning looked at Shen Qingyu’s crestfallen expression and suddenly felt terrible. She grit her teeth and said, “No, that’s not it. I haven’t forgotten my ex-girlfriend. — Except for the last point, I have no problem with the first two.”

The ‘once a week’ request made her think that the actress, Shen, was genuinely interested in her.

She turned her head, her cheeks flushed, and her tone awkward.

“Cohabiting… is fine, too.”

When Zhu Songning got into the car Shen Qingyu arranged for her move, her mind was still fuzzy.

She didn’t know what was wrong with her, that she would actually agree to such demands out of pure impulse…

But she couldn’t be blamed, right?

She secretly glanced at the beautiful woman next to her, who was driving a Ferrari with one hand.

The Omega’s fingers were casually draped over the steering wheel. She wore a watch worth tens of millions on her wrist, and a plain band on her middle finger.

Last night, that ring was on her right middle finger, symbolizing wealth and good luck.

Right after they got the marriage certificate, she moved the simple plain band to her left middle finger.

If Zhu Songning remembered correctly, the symbol of a ring on the left middle finger was…

Being in a passionate relationship.

Zhu Songning didn’t have much luggage; one suitcase was put in the trunk, and she sat in the passenger seat, leaning back in self-abandonment.

It was totally normal to be mesmerized by someone like this!

When people are flustered, they always look for something to do.

She habitually took out her phone from her pocket, only to realize that it had been turned off since last night.

Thankfully, her social circle was simple and clean. She didn’t know many people, so being unreachable for a short while probably wouldn’t be a big issue.

She pressed the power button, and the phone’s logo lit up. The moment she unlocked the screen, missed calls and messages burst forth like an explosion, causing the phone to lag momentarily.

“Beep beep beep—”

She accidentally accepted an incoming call with a slip of her hand.

“Zhu Songning! Where were you last night!”

Zhu Songning: “…………”

Damn it.

Why was that Lu Conghuan’s voice?!

Why was she acting crazy so early in the morning? Shouldn’t she be having a sweet time with Xu Zhe right now? Why was she harassing her?

Zhu Songning quickly glanced at Shen Qingyu, who was driving beside her. Shen Qingyu seemed to hear nothing, concentrating on the road.

But Zhu Songning still had an inexplicable sense of guilt.

She stabilized her state of mind, and her light-colored eyes blinked softly.

“…Who are you?”

Lu Conghuan on the phone was incredulous and angry: “Who do you think I am? We only broke up yesterday, and you can’t even recognize my voice?”

She felt a fire burning in her heart, but she couldn’t distinguish if it was because of Zhu Songning’s attitude of pretending not to know her, or because of that similar silhouette from last night.

“And?”

Zhu Songning cut her off.

Didn’t the break-up plot end and everything was supposed to be fine? Why was the female lead still not letting her go?

[The System doesn’t know either. According to the original plot, this part wasn’t supposed to happen.]

Zhu Songning’s brow suddenly twitched fiercely.

Lu Conghuan on the other end calmed down: “Are you still mad about me and Xu Zhe?”

“Xu Zhe and I were just putting on an act. She has connections in the entertainment industry, which will be a great help to my career. Why can’t you understand me? Do you have to cause a scene?”

“If you’re out of money, why didn’t you tell me? Even though we’ve broken up, I wouldn’t truly ignore you… Was that you in the BVLGARI suite last night? How could you be so degenerate after leaving me?”

In Luo Conghuan’s impression, Zhu Songning’s savings were nowhere near enough to afford such an expensive room. The only possibility was that she had fallen into the bad habits of many good-looking but useless Alphas and was taken to a room by a wealthy Omega.

“?” Zhu Songning laughed. “Do you even hear what you’re saying? How does the person who cheated have the right to criticize others? Or do you want a mango cake again?”

She habitually makes small movements when she’s emotional or thinking, such as flipping cards.

Her right hand was holding the phone, and the Ace of Hearts in her left hand flipped rapidly between her fingers until a cool hand gently pressed down on the card.

Shen Qingyu’s fingers pressed on the card surface, her fingertips against Zhu Songning’s. She then followed the smooth edge of the playing card, climbing up, and finally took the newly registered marriage certificate from Zhu Songning’s pocket.

“It seems you haven’t done well in fulfilling my first request.”

Shen Qingyu did not deliberately lower her voice when she spoke, and every word clearly fell into Lu Conghuan’s ear on the other side of the phone.

“Then I’ll just have to temporarily confiscate your marriage certificate, my little wife.”

The air was quiet for a moment.

“Wife?! What wife! Who is that next to you, Zhu Songning! You explain yourself…”

This time, Zhu Songning was clearly more experienced. With quick reflexes, she hung up the phone.

Just when Zhu Songning thought she would be severely scolded by Client Mom, Shen Qingyu did not pursue the matter, but gently changed the topic, easily letting her off the hook: “You can do card tricks?”

Zhu Songning humbly nodded: “A little bit.”

The Ferrari stopped right outside the villa gate.

“No wonder.” Shen Qingyu carefully put away their marriage certificate, looked down, and smiled at the long, slender joints exposed beneath Zhu Songning’s sleeve. “Very nimble, and your fingers are quite long. I like them a lot.”

Zhu Songning: ??

What is she saying?

What terrible words.
