I Stole the Male Lead's White Moonlight [Transmigration] - Chapter 55

Little White Rabbit Zhu Xinya had a narrow escape from the wolf’s den, only to be devoured completely by the big bad wolf Que Hanfu. The next morning, she successfully slept in.

Ling Xiaoxiao hadn’t yet found a suitable script for Zhu Xinya, so she booked her a few gigs, including a sanitary pad commercial.

Shooting commercials was far more challenging than filming TV dramas. Zhu Xinya stood in front of the green screen, trying to look delighted, only to be cut off by the director.

“Delighted! You need to show that you’re delighted! This isn’t a movie, no need to hold back. Let it out! I want you to let it out!”

“Let’s take it from the top.”

A one-minute commercial ended up taking Zhu Xinya an entire day to film.

Ling Xiaoxiao was nearly driven mad. “Yaya, aren’t you exhausted? Go rest in the car now.”

To showcase the waterproof feature of the sanitary pad, Zhu Xinya had to soak in a swimming pool for two hours.

Zhu Xinya didn’t mind it much. Her life in the real world had been far more difficult. At least it was summer now, and the pool water wasn’t cold. Back then, she had to soak in icy water for a full three hours, which left her with a high fever the next day, completely unconscious. If it weren’t for a kind stranger taking care of her, she might have ended up with brain damage from the fever.

“It’s fine, Xiaoxiao. The pool water is quite warm,” Zhu Xinya reassured Ling Xiaoxiao.

Ling Xiaoxiao declared, “From now on, we’ll only take on high-end brands. Even commercials should have class. We’re not doing exaggerated ones.”

“Okay~”

Zhu Xinya’s easygoing nature only strengthened Ling Xiaoxiao’s resolve.

A young lady who had been pampered since childhood, yet so dedicated, it would be a crime against nature if she didn’t become a star!

A few days after the commercial shoot, guided by online trolls, discussions began swirling about who the young actress mentioned by Tang Yanyan really was.

Some speculated it was the rising star Hu Caicai, while others guessed it was child star Liu Xinxin. Then, the trolls proposed a plausible candidate: Zhu Xinya, which garnered a flood of likes.

The next day, netizens discovered that Tang Yanyan had logged into her Weibo, done nothing else, but liked a comment speculating that the young actress she referred to was Zhu Xinya, before logging off again.

[!!! What’s going on??? Is it really Zhu Xinya? Has her acting skills earned Feng Ruohong’s approval?]

[Even though Feng Ruohong is a scumbag, he does have a good eye for actors. If Zhu Xinya has won his approval, she must be incredibly talented.]

[Wow!!! Our Yaya is killing it! I knew I picked the right idol to stan, wuwu.]

After this incident, Zhu Xinya’s fan count skyrocketed once again.

Zhu Xinya had initially asked Ling Xiaoxiao to book her a few gigs out of boredom, but after appearing in several, she realized that acting in dramas was far more interesting.

However, good scripts and directors were hard to come by, and Zhu Xinya was mentally prepared to wait.

Just then, Ling Xiaoxiao showed up at her door with a script.

Ling Xiaoxiao had been stopped outside the company building. Fortunately, the person who stopped her was a gentle-looking middle-aged woman, or she would have thought she was being robbed.

“Hello, is there something I can help you with?” Ling Xiaoxiao asked.

The gentle woman replied, “Miss Ling, this is a script I wrote. I believe the lead role is made for Zhu Xinya only she can play my female protagonist. Please, you must give this script to Zhu Xinya to read.”

She seemed so anxious that Ling Xiaoxiao’s heart went out to her.

She usually never looked at scripts from unknown screenwriters, but under the gentle woman’s pleading gaze, Ling Xiaoxiao took the script.

“Love Obsession did you write this? Have you found investors? Is the director confirmed?” For a production, not only the actors but also the director was crucial.

The gentle woman replied, “I am the director. I’ve already secured five million in funding. Now, all we need is a female lead. If Zhu Xinya agrees to take the role, we can start filming immediately. However, the salary might be.”

Given Zhu Xinya’s current fame, her fee would undoubtedly exceed eight million. With the gentle woman having raised only five million in total, it was obvious she couldn’t afford Zhu Xinya’s rate.

Ling Xiaoxiao flipped open the script and, to her surprise, was immediately captivated. She read for a full ten minutes before forcing herself to close it.

When she spoke to the gentle woman again, Ling Xiaoxiao’s smile was much more sincere. “How should I address you?”

The gentle woman quickly responded, “My name is Yun Ling.” She smiled apologetically. “Look at me, I was so anxious I forgot to introduce myself.”

Ling Xiaoxiao said, “Director Yun, please give me your contact information. I’ll show the script to Yaya. If she agrees to take the role, we can discuss the salary later.”

Early the next morning, Ling Xiaoxiao, barely containing her excitement, called Zhu Xinya. “Miss, I have an amazing script in my hands!”

Zhu Xinya exclaimed with delight, “Really?”

“Yes! I couldn’t put it down after just one look. Miss, should I come to your place, or will you come to the company?”

Zhu Xinya, curled up in bed and unwilling to move, said, “Come to my place. I’ll send you the address.”

Visiting Zhu Xinya’s home might mean running into Chairman Zhu and his wife. Wanting to make a good impression on her top boss, Ling Xiaoxiao dressed carefully in a light gray professional suit, applied light makeup, tied up her long hair, and put on silver-rimmed glasses looking every bit the highly professional agent!

Ling Xiaoxiao drove to the legendary affluent neighborhood and found the Zhu family villa.

After getting out of the car, she straightened her clothes in the car window, ensuring her appearance was impeccable, then nervously walked to the door and rang the bell.

As she waited for the door to open, her palms grew sweaty.

It was her first time visiting her boss’s home and meeting the rumored richest person in Longcheng. She was sure no one could remain calm in such a situation.

Click! The door opened.

Ling Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up as she stared inside.

A tall figure gradually emerged from behind the door wavy tea-colored hair, an indifferent gaze, and unparalleled beauty.

“Professor Que! What are you doing here???” Ling Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.

It didn’t make sense. It was only 7:30 in the morning. Even if Que Hanfu had come to visit Zhu Xinya, she shouldn’t be at her house at this hour.

Ling Xiaoxiao blinked, her gaze shifting slightly downward to take in the casual loungewear Que Hanfu was wearing. Her mind felt like it was about to short-circuit.

What in the world was going on???

Could it be? Could it be that the ship she had been rooting for had actually sailed?!

A faint blush spread across Ling Xiaoxiao’s cheeks, and her eyes sparkled with anticipation as she looked at Que Hanfu.

Que Hanfu stepped aside. “This is my home, so it’s perfectly normal for me to be here. Come in. Yaya is waiting for you.”

“Mm!” Ling Xiaoxiao walked in carrying her bag, feeling that coming early in the morning to deliver the script to Zhu Xinya was absolutely worth it!

Que Hanfu led her to the living room. “Yaya is still in the bedroom. I’ll go get her.”

Ling Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa, nodding eagerly. “Okay, Professor Que.”

As soon as Que Hanfu left, Ling Xiaoxiao immediately pulled out her phone and opened Weibo, the “Yaya and Hanfu, a Hundred Years of Happiness” Group Three!

When Que Hanfu pushed open the bedroom door, Zhu Xinya was idly scrolling through Weibo. Once she woke up, it was hard for her to fall back asleep.

In “Yaya and Hanfu, a Hundred Years of Happiness” Group Three:

Ling Ling Ling: Sisters! [Screaming like a chicken]

Ling Ling Ling: It seems like we’ve hit the jackpot! Ahhhhh, I’m so excited right now!

Professor Que’s Little Slacker: What jackpot?

Zhu Xinya’s alternate account was added to all the fan groups dedicated to her and Que Hanfu’s pairing.

Que Hanfu approached the bed, leaned down, and kissed Zhu Xinya. “Ling Xiaoxiao is here, waiting for you in the living room.”

Zhu Xinya immediately realized that “Ling Ling Ling” in the fan group was likely Ling Xiaoxiao.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be such a coincidence.

Ling Xiaoxiao had seen Que Hanfu at home, and “Ling Ling Ling” immediately claimed they’d “hit the jackpot.”

In “Yaya and Hanfu, a Hundred Years of Happiness” Group Three:

Ling Ling Ling: It’s Yaya and Professor Que, hehe. Keep it low-key, keep it low-key~

Seeing the message, Zhu Xinya became even more certain. The tone was unmistakably Ling Xiaoxiao’s.

She got out of bed, quickly freshened up, and went to the living room with Que Hanfu.

Hearing footsteps, Ling Xiaoxiao stood up and turned around. Zhu Xinya and Que Hanfu walked in side by side they looked incredibly well-matched!

She clenched her fists tightly to suppress her excitement.

“Xiaoxiao, thank you for coming so early to bring me the script. Sorry for the trouble.”

Ling Xiaoxiao replied, “Yaya, no need to be so polite with me.”

Zhu Xinya sat down opposite Ling Xiaoxiao, who promptly took the script out of her bag and placed it in front of Zhu Xinya. “Yaya, take a look.”

Que Hanfu’s cool voice chimed in, “I’ll make breakfast. Would you like to join us, Miss Ling?”

Ling Xiaoxiao was overwhelmed. “No, no need!”

Oh my god! What had she just heard?

Professor Que was actually going to make breakfast!

And it seemed like she was used to doing it!

Tears welled up in Ling Xiaoxiao’s eyes. Professor Que really doted on the young lady.
