I Stole the Male Lead's White Moonlight [Transmigration] - Chapter 51

After Que Hanfu returned to the country, both of them had their own work and could only see each other at night when they slept. Even so, Zhu Xinya was quite content.

Compared to when Que Hanfu was far away in the United States, the fact that she was now in the country, in Longcheng, and came home to sleep every night gave Zhu Xinya an indescribable sense of security.

Summer vacation quietly arrived amidst Que Hanfu’s busy schedule. She smoothly terminated her contract with Longcheng University and fully transitioned into a businesswoman.

Zhu Xinya’s script also found its place it was a new work by the renowned commercial film director Feng Ruohong. Ling Xiaoxiao had selected the role of the seventh female lead for her. Although the part was small, the character was one of the most pivotal in the film, the kind audiences would definitely remember.

Que Hanfu took to the business world like a fish to water, leaving work promptly at 5 p.m. every day to come home and cook for Zhu Xinya.

Zhu Xinya had taken half of the script from Ling Xiaoxiao and spent the afternoon reading it at home. The moment Que Hanfu returned, she immediately dropped the script, ran to the door, and hugged her, clinging to her. “Sister, I missed you so much~”

Que Hanfu supported Zhu Xinya’s bottom and carried her to the sofa, letting her straddle her lap. As soon as she settled, Zhu Xinya cupped Que Hanfu’s face and kissed her, her tongue teasing lightly and playfully.

Que Hanfu quickly took control, kissing Zhu Xinya until she was breathless. When their lips parted, Zhu Xinya’s face was flushed from holding her breath.

“Is this the new script?” Que Hanfu asked, one hand wrapped around Zhu Xinya’s waist while the other picked up the script beside them.

Zhu Xinya leaned against her and said, “Even though it’s only the seventh female lead, the character is well-written and will easily leave an impression on the audience.”

Que Hanfu stroked Zhu Xinya’s long hair. “With me here, you don’t have to settle. I can invest in a film for you.”

“No,” Zhu Xinya immediately lifted her head to refuse.

A flicker of confusion crossed Que Hanfu’s eyes. “No matter how good the character of the seventh female lead is, it’s still a minor role. The audience might blink and miss your scene.”

Zhu Xinya blinked her clear, bright eyes and said, “But this is my first time filming a movie. I want to gain some experience first. If you invest in a film for me and it doesn’t do well, what if we lose money? That’s not a small amount.”

Que Hanfu looked at Zhu Xinya seriously and said, “Your happiness is what matters most. Money is just a number to me.”

Zhu Xinya: “…” Well, it seemed her sister was exceptionally wealthy.

Zhu Xinya hugged Que Hanfu and said sweetly, “If I can’t find a good script or role, I’ll let you invest in a film for me~”

“Mm,” Que Hanfu kissed the corner of Zhu Xinya’s lips and patted her waist. “I’ll go cook.”

While Que Hanfu cooked, Zhu Xinya continued reading the script but found it hard to focus.

Her gaze kept drifting involuntarily to Que Hanfu’s tall, slender figure.

Zhu Xinya finally put the script down, stood up, and went to the kitchen to find Que Hanfu.

Hearing Zhu Xinya’s footsteps, Que Hanfu didn’t turn around. Zhu Xinya hugged her from behind. “Sister, I really like you so much.”

The corners of Que Hanfu’s lips lifted. “Mm, me too.”

Every day, while Que Hanfu cooked, Zhu Xinya would hug her from behind and say this. Yet, Que Hanfu never grew immune to it, no matter how many times she heard it.

Each time Zhu Xinya confessed her feelings, Que Hanfu loved her a little more.

After Que Hanfu finished cooking, the two of them sweetly fed each other during dinner, then went for a half-hour walk outside. Upon returning, they showered and washed up.

Zhu Xinya dried her hair and leaned against the headboard to read her script. When Que Hanfu emerged from the bathroom, Zhu Xinya went over to blow-dry her hair for her.

Their hair extensions had already fallen out, returning to their natural length. Que Hanfu’s hair was light-colored, fluffy, and curly, and the more Zhu Xinya looked at it, the more she adored it. After blow-drying it, she couldn’t resist scooping it up, burying her face in it, and planting a kiss.

Que Hanfu felt a little amused. “Do you like it that much?”

“I love everything about you, sis.” Zhu Xinya leaned in and kissed Que Hanfu from her forehead down to her chin, then said with a playful grin, “I’ll save the rest for bedtime.”

Que Hanfu’s cheeks flushed slightly. Yaya was always so bold and direct sometimes she really couldn’t handle it.

“When is your audition?” Que Hanfu picked up Zhu Xinya’s script and began flipping through it.

Zhu Xinya moved closer and sat down beside her. “Tomorrow morning.”

“Sis, when I’m home alone, there’s no one to rehearse with me. Could you help me out?” Zhu Xinya pleaded pitifully.

Que Hanfu pursed her lips, not immediately agreeing.

She looked Zhu Xinya up and down with her glass-like eyes and asked softly, “If I help you rehearse, how will you thank me, Yaya?”

Zhu Xinya’s clever eyes sparkled as she unhesitatingly threw herself into Que Hanfu’s arms, looking up at her. “I’ll offer myself as the thank-you gift. Tonight, you can do whatever you want with me.”

Que Hanfu’s breath hitched. Her cool, elegant features instantly took on a rosy hue, and a faint blush at the corners of her eyes was utterly captivating. “Alright.”

Zhu Xinya stared at her dazedly, her cheeks warming. “Sis, you could collect interest in advance. I wouldn’t mind.”

Que Hanfu replied, “I don’t like collecting interest early. Tonight, I’ll take back both the principal and the interest together.”

Que Hanfu earnestly rehearsed the script with Zhu Xinya several times, offering many suggestions.

Afterward, the two spent a joyful and passionate night.

Since Zhu Xinya had an audition the next day, Que Hanfu didn’t go too far. When Zhu Xinya woke up in the morning, she was full of energy. After eating the breakfast Que Hanfu had prepared, she took a taxi to the company, where Ling Xiaoxiao drove her to the audition location.

“How many times have you read the script?” Ling Xiaoxiao asked.

“Definitely at least ten times,” Zhu Xinya replied. “I even rehearsed with someone. I’m sure there won’t be any problems.”

Seeing Zhu Xinya so confident, Ling Xiaoxiao relaxed a bit. “Feng Ruohong’s movies always do well at the box office, so even the seventh female lead role has a lot of competition. Knowing the script inside out will definitely be an advantage.”

Ling Xiaoxiao remembered Zhu Xinya saying she was home alone and asked curiously, “Yaya, who did you rehearse with?”

Zhu Xinya blinked. “It’s a secret.”

Ling Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat. “It’s not a boyfriend, is it? Is he in the industry or a civilian?”

In the span of that one question, Ling Xiaoxiao had already run through three or four different strategies for handling a potential future exposure of Zhu Xinya’s relationship.

Zhu Xinya said, “No, I don’t have a boyfriend.”

“Really?”

“Really!” Zhu Xinya answered with absolute certainty.

She truly didn’t have a boyfriend but she did have a wife.

Suppressing her doubts, Ling Xiaoxiao got out of the car with Zhu Xinya and entered the elevator.

The audition was on the 23rd floor. When the elevator reached the 23rd floor and the doors slid open, Zhu Xinya stepped out first, looking around curiously.

“This is the Brilliance Media building, twenty-seven floors in total. Floors twenty-one to twenty-seven are used by Brilliance Media themselves, while the other twenty floors are rented out. The annual rental income alone is quite substantial.” Ling Xiaoxiao was giving the curious Zhu Xinya a rundown.

Zhu Xinya asked, “Xiaoxiao, how do you know so much about this?”

Ling Xiaoxiao smiled. “Before I joined Yunyun Pictures, I worked at Brilliance Media, so I’m quite familiar with it.”

Just as Ling Xiaoxiao finished speaking, a woman with a ponytail and an employee badge spotted her and came over excitedly to greet her. “Sister Ling! What brings you here?”

Ling Xiaoxiao was equally delighted to see her old acquaintance. “Lili, long time no see! I’m a manager now, here with my artist for an audition.”

Having connections certainly made things easier. Lili, who was in charge of the auditions that day, immediately moved Zhu Xinya to the front of the line. “Because it’s Director Feng’s project, over a hundred people showed up for the audition today. You’re a bit late, so I’ll put you at the front to save you from waiting until the afternoon.”

After chatting with Ling Xiaoxiao for a few more moments, Lili went back to work. Ling Xiaoxiao puffed out her chest proudly and said, “See, young lady? It pays to know people. Don’t be nervous later. Being at the front is much better than being at the back. The interviewers tend to get impatient after seeing too many people, and they might not even bother watching your performance if you’re too far back.”

Zhu Xinya smiled. “Good thing you know someone here, or today would’ve been a hassle. When you have time, take Lili out for a meal to thank her, I’ll cover the bill.”

Praise from Zhu Xinya made Ling Xiaoxiao a little embarrassed. “I was already planning to treat Lili to a meal. We were pretty close back in the day, so there’s no need for reimbursement.”

There were over ten people competing for the role of female character number seven, and Zhu Xinya was first in line.

“Young lady, don’t be nervous. I’m sure you’ll do great,” Ling Xiaoxiao cheered her on.

Zhu Xinya nodded at Ling Xiaoxiao and walked into the audition room.
