Full Level Sweet Indulgence: The Big Shot Became Addicted to Me After the Announcement - Chapter 13

Watching the online public opinion shift, Zhuang Lin was stunned: “Oh my god, are you some kind of lucky charm? You resolved it so easily?”

Li Muli snorted lightly: “Worship the Li Koi more often, and it’ll ensure your wealth and safety.”

“Hahaha, alright then, Li Koi.”

The commotion woke Qiao Yi, who was sleeping nearby. Blinking sleepily, she stared at Li Muli and asked, “What’s going on?”

“Got photographed, of course. Ah, the troubles of being a big star,” she said, flipping her hair and feigning a sigh.

Qiao Yi rolled her eyes: “Handled it?”

“Of course. Who do you think I am?”

“Alright, alright, big star, hurry up and get ready for filming. Don’t disturb my sleep,” Qiao Yi said, closing her eyes and waving a hand dismissively.

Li Muli scoffed lightly: “Sleep yourself to death, then. Remember to eat breakfast when you get up.”

“Okay~”

Li Muli got up and quickly got herself ready. After preparing and eating breakfast, she headed out to the set.

She resented it she wished she could be like a certain someone and sleep until she woke up naturally.

On the way, she received a call from Fu Chenyan: “Baby, are you up yet?”

“Up, up, I’m in the car now.”

“Such a good baby. I’ll personally take you there from now on,” he replied with a light chuckle.

Li Muli rubbed her gradually reddening ears and muttered, “You’re so cheesy.”

Seriously, why couldn’t he talk properly? Being called “baby” over and over so early in the morning, who could handle that?

“Mmm, I miss you, baby. I saw that you went public. I want to see you,” his deep voice seemed to linger by her ear.

Li Muli had never realized before that she had a thing for voices.

Well, Fu Chenyan had won, completely and utterly.

Not hearing a response from the other end, Fu Chenyan spoke again: “Baby, I want to hold you.”

Baby, baby, baby~

All Li Muli could hear was the sound of her own heartbeat, growing louder and faster, drowning out the man’s voice and the repeated “baby” calls…

She hurriedly ended the call: “I’m here, can’t talk anymore.” Flustered, she seemed to be hiding something she couldn’t reveal.

Suddenly, she understood those online memes about having such a handsome boyfriend that you’d slap yourself during arguments.

A man like Fu Chenyan, calling you “baby” over and over, who wouldn’t be mesmerized?

Li Muli admitted it yes, she was captivated by his charm.

On the other end, Boss Fu, whose call had been cut off: ??

Not happy. Wants to see his wife. Wants kisses and hugs.

Secretary Lin, who came in to deliver documents, felt a chill in the air when he saw the CEO holding his phone.

“CEO Fu, you have a meeting in twenty minutes.”

Fu Chenyan glanced at him: “Found out? Who took the photos?”

Lin Yuan replied respectfully: “It was the female lead’s rival in the crew, Tang Tang.” He paused before continuing, “Probably jealous of Miss Li’s beauty and talent.”

“Mmm, my wife is very beautiful and talented.”

Your wife?

Did Miss Li agree to that?

“Yes, Mrs. Fu is too outstanding and beautiful, attracting envy. Her scandals are already being exposed online,” Lin Yuan felt he understood step one with the CEO was to praise Miss Li.

“Mmm, visiting the set today,” Fu Chenyan said casually as he flipped through the documents.

“Understood, CEO Fu,” Lin Yuan replied before exiting.

Fu Chenyan picked up his phone and looked at the saved photo, setting it as his wallpaper. The girl in the picture smiled brightly, her eyes filled with him.

Her reflection was in her eyes. She loved him so much.

What a coincidence so did he.

He opened the newly registered account from just a few minutes ago, changed the username to “Mu Li,” and then followed her.

Mu Li admiring Li Muli.

A slight smile tugged at Fu Chengyan’s lips as he picked up a pencil and lightly sketched two chibi-style characters on an A4 sheet. A boy held a girl in his arms, the girl beaming at him with a radiant, unrestrained smile, surrounded by clusters of roses.

The caption read: So glad to have met you, my little rose.

He took a photo, uploaded it all in one smooth motion.

“Muli, Muli, I’ve discovered you really have the luck of a koi fish!!!” Zhuang Lin rushed into the dressing room in a flurry.

Li Muli raised an eyebrow slightly. “Hmm?”

“Announcing your relationship gained you a million followers, and…” Zhuang Lin deliberately paused for effect. “Guess what happened?”

Not waiting for an answer, she continued, “Tang Tang got exposed for some shady stuff.”

“And she didn’t show up today.”

Li Muli drew out an “Oh.” She hadn’t even made a move yet. Tsk, tsk, tsk her big-shot boyfriend was impressively fast.

Hmm, suddenly having a backer felt pretty good.

This feeling was actually quite nice.

A smile curled at the corners of Li Muli’s lips as she beckoned Zhuang Lin closer, leaning in to whisper in her ear, “I have a big-shot boyfriend, you know.”

Zhuang Lin: Huh? That was sudden. It felt like a random dog passing by had just been kicked.

Li Muli at this moment was like a child who’d just gotten a beloved toy and couldn’t wait to show it off.

Zhuang Lin feigned a sigh. “Having a backer really is something. If only you’d met Big Shot Fu sooner.”

Li Muli froze. In her previous life, at this time, she was still in the phase of secretly admiring him.

This year she was 23. She got together with him at 26 and died at 30.

She died at 30, in the prime of her youth.

Now, she had returned ahead of time, and many things had changed due to the butterfly effect.

When nothing was happening, what she wanted most was simply for him to fall in love with her.

How long does one person’s novelty for another last? She didn’t know. All she knew was that throughout her long years as a young girl, every heartfelt thought had been tied to him.

But all that affection had nothing to do with him.

He didn’t know about her youthful infatuation, didn’t know about her first flutter of innocent love, didn’t know his name scribbled all over her draft papers, didn’t know about her long, dark, unrequited affection…

Having a crush on someone was too bitter, and loving without being loved in return was even worse.

But this life was so much better everything could start over.

She thought she resented the him from her past life, maybe even hated him. But the truth was, if he were different in this life, she would forgive him.

She would figure out whether his feelings for her in the past life were genuine or fake, and give her past self a proper resolution.

Let the her of the past and the him she once loved be buried together in that previous life.

Give the person who first made her heart flutter another chance.

Fu Chengyan, I’ll be brave one more time.

This time, it’s also a form of self-reconciliation.

After pulling herself together, Li Muli headed to the set. The director called out, “The investor is here to inspect the work today, everyone, be on your best behavior.”

“Jiang Mo, Muli, later we’ll shoot the scene with the most explosive energy, the one where the female lead finds out the male lead killed her father and confronts him in despair, and the male lead, enraged, kisses her forcefully.”

Li Muli’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. She had a strange feeling that the investor might be her Fu. She felt a little panicked.

Timidly, she raised her hand. “Director, can we use a stand-in for the kissing scene?”

The director frowned. He knew about yesterday’s public announcement, but the person coming today wasn’t just anyone.

It was that big shot.

Silence.

Silence was the Cambridge of tonight.

Li Muli whispered, “If that’s not acceptable. would a camera angle work?”

Jiang Mo looked at the girl’s stubbornly persistent expression and shrugged. “Let’s get started first.”

Li Muli remained still. She understood this was part of an actor’s responsibility, but privately she didn’t want to become too intimate with another man.

She had intense emotional purity standards not just toward others, but toward herself as well.
