My Psycho Yandere Actress O and I Became a Hit on a Dating Reality Show with Our Baby [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 40.1

Chapter 40.1: “My Little Zhuo-Zhuo Wife, Since You Like Me, Wear Two Sets and Let Me Tear Them.” Completely Controlled by Her, He Gifts Her a Million-dollar Watch to Spoil Her. The Whole Internet Goes Crazy for the CP.

Mu Nan Jia was at a loss for words after Tong Zhuo’s reply. Why did she suddenly mention suggestive Bodhisattvas?

Was that how she saw Yun Ruo Xi, too? She was getting genuinely angry.

But the next moment, she saw that the message Tong Zhuo sent had been recalled, making it unreadable. What did that mean? A guilty conscience?

It made her even angrier.

Mu Nan Jia: Why did you recall the message? Do you have a guilty conscience?

Tong Zhuo: I realized I wasn’t being respectful enough. I’m truly sorry.

Mu Nan Jia: In your eyes, I’m a wanton libertine, a demon, an utterly frivolous person who doesn’t deserve your respect.

Tong Zhuo: “…”

She knew it was impossible to explain herself clearly through text now, so she immediately called Mu Nan Jia to speak with her directly.

Mu Nan Jia thought for a moment before answering the call, but she didn’t say anything.

Tong Zhuo had no choice but to speak in a submissive tone. “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. You can do whatever you want to me tonight.” Her voice trailed off toward the end.

“Hmph, you still have a guilty conscience, don’t you? Why are you speaking so quietly? Am I that low-class?”

“Because… because it’s so embarrassing.” Tong Zhuo was relatively conservative for an Alpha, but to make Mu Nan Jia happy, she basically did whatever she was told.

Asking her to say such things on her own was her best effort, especially since she was at the film set. It’s always better to be cautious in public places.

“Is that so? Then don’t say it. It’s too difficult for you.”

“Oh, come on, ancestor, what did I do to offend you? Why are you tormenting me like this?” Tong Zhuo truly couldn’t understand. She had never met anyone like her in her life.

“Hmph. I just saw Yun Ruo Xi in a group chat saying she found the lead for her music video, and it was you. You even called her ‘Bodhisattva’.” Mu Nan Jia naturally couldn’t let Tong Zhuo know that she was constantly monitoring her phone, or the one getting angry would be her.

“This… this… well, she gave me a job. She’s paying me 500,000 for a music video that’s only a few minutes long. I’m just an 18th-tier nobody, so I got a little excited.”

“In the end, you still have a bias against me. I’ve transferred so much money to you before, and you didn’t appreciate it at all. You still treated me like a monster. Why is that?”

“…That’s because we weren’t close back then, and you messed with me a lot. Recently, have I ever refused the money you gave me? I’ve accepted it all, haven’t I?”

“So all of this is my problem, not yours. I get it now.”

“Oh, Mu Nan Jia, what do you want? Just tell me.”

“I don’t want anything. See? You’re already impatient just from talking to me for a few minutes. Do I annoy you that much?”

“…Sigh, you’re really something. You can’t tell the difference between being close and being distant,” Tong Zhuo said, feeling a bit frustrated herself. “Can’t you tell that I care about you a little?”

“I can’t. You have to be more obvious.”

“…If I called you ‘Bodhisattva,’ it would mean we’re not close at all. I call you ‘ancestor,’ don’t you think that’s more intimate?” Tong Zhuo felt it was necessary to explain this to her.

“But… but…”

“I’m at my wits’ end with you. I’ve already marked you. If I really didn’t want to, would I have marked you?”

“That’s only because I seduced you.”

“You know how detestable you are.” Tong Zhuo felt that Mu Nan Jia’s anger had subsided a little, and her tone softened. “I received the most red packets I’ve ever received in my life today. I’m so grateful to you.”

“Mu Nan Jia, you don’t know, but before… any money I made would disappear in the blink of an eye. It never lasted until the next day. But ever since I’ve been with you, my bank balance has grown a lot. At least I don’t have to live in fear anymore.”

“Mu Nan Jia, you’re my lucky star. I really like you.”

“You like my money, is that it?” Mu Nan Jia felt very uncomfortable hearing those words. She was incredibly sad. She suddenly wasn’t angry anymore, and she tried to speak in a joking tone.

“Liking your money is also liking you, isn’t it?” Tong Zhuo didn’t see anything wrong with that.

“Hmph, you have to wear two sets tonight.”

“…What’s with your weird fetish?” But at least she didn’t refuse her.

On Mu Nan Jia’s end, the ad shoot was about to begin. It was for a luxury watch brand, with each watch costing over a million. It was a high-end brand.

Her image was simply too good, and her professionalism was strong. Her recently released movie had also done very well at the box office, so the brand was naturally taking the opportunity to launch a new product and couldn’t miss this wave of attention.

Meanwhile, Tong Zhuo’s meeting was also starting, so the two didn’t talk much more. They hung up and got busy.

Mu Nan Jia’s mood had improved, but the words Tong Zhuo said still left her feeling down. The brand had a wide variety of watches, all of them priceless.

She immediately spotted a Moon Tide quartz watch that was perfect for Tong Zhuo and decided to buy it without a second thought.

However, another Omega came over and asked the brand to reserve it for her, clearly trying to compete with Mu Nan Jia.

Mu Nan Jia recognized this Omega. It was Lin Yufeng, the female lead of a recent popular drama that was released at the same time as hers, and her sworn rival.

Speaking of Lin Yufeng, she and Tong Zhuo started at the same time. Tong Zhuo was the one who had the worst development, but Mu Nan Jia believed that Tong Zhuo could catch up, because she was just one opportunity away.

As for Lin Yufeng, her career wasn’t as good as Mu Nan Jia’s, but she not only acted but also sang, making her a crossover artist.

She had already won a film award before, but her career had been quiet for the past few years. Her new work, which was released at the same time as Mu Nan Jia’s, was getting a lot of attention.

This meant that she and Mu Nan Jia would be competing on the same stage again. They were still rivals.

“Mu Nan Jia, why do you always have to compete with me for everything? What did I ever do to offend you?” Lin Yufeng found it ridiculous. Everything she wanted seemed to be taken by Mu Nan Jia. It just felt cursed.

“Have you paid for this watch?” Mu Nan Jia asked calmly.

“I haven’t paid yet, but I saw it first, so it’s mine.”

“Then you’re truly bossy.” Mu Nan Jia never gave up anything she wanted to anyone else. It was even more so now that it was a gift for Tong Zhuo; she wouldn’t budge an inch.

“You’re more bossy than I am.” Lin Yufeng gave her a once-over and said some unpleasant words. “But then again, your taste seems to be getting lower and lower. You’re giving up your wonderful fiancé and now you’re considering being with an 18th-tier Alpha who’s getting slammed online? It’s laughable.”

“Has anyone ever told you that it’s low to look down on people and attack them without reason?” Mu Nan Jia’s eyes had darkened completely, making Lin Yufeng feel a sudden chill, but she still puffed out her chest and stared back. “You’ll have to deal with the consequences!”

“Being with someone so completely unsuitable just lowers your own status.”

“I don’t want this watch if you’ve touched it. Sharing the same air with you is suffocating.”

With that, she turned and left, as if staying for another second was torment.

Mu Nan Jia didn’t get angry. She waited until Lin Yufeng had walked a few steps before she said, “Lin Yufeng, your mouth is so full of malice. I wish you will always be just one step away from success in everything you do, and never succeed.”

At first, Mu Nan Jia’s words sounded harmless, but they were actually incredibly vicious.

The reason was that if you are always just one step away from succeeding, it means you can never truly be successful. And always being that close to the finish line is a truly absurd and tormenting existence.

Lin Yufeng naturally understood the malicious intent behind her words and couldn’t help but turn to face her, unable to control her temper. “Mu Nan Jia, you won’t fare any better!”

“Is that so? We’ll see.” Mu Nan Jia’s mood was not affected at all. She would still get the gift she wanted to send. She remembered all the gold watches she had sent to Tong Zhuo before that she didn’t like, and she found it very strange.

Those were valuable items that could be sold for money at any time. The limited editions were even more expensive.

But she didn’t like them. It seemed she had to change her approach and send her something else.

In the end, she successfully bought the watch, and her mood improved. She sent a message to Tong Zhuo: I have a surprise for you tonight.

Tong Zhuo was scared by the word “surprise,” but she didn’t dare to provoke Mu Nan Jia anymore. She just stiffly sent a few words back: Oh really? I can’t wait!

Mu Nan Jia just smiled when she saw the reply and didn’t say anything more. She fully immersed herself in filming the ad.

…

The day went by quickly. Mu Nan Jia filmed the ad for most of the day, and for the remaining two to three hours, she went shopping. Many people ran into Mu Nan Jia and excitedly took pictures with her, resulting in several trending topics.

— Oh my god! Jiajia looks amazing! She’s truly the most beautiful Omega I’ve ever seen!!!

— So she has free time today? I heard a rumor that she’ll be on the next season of the dating show too?

— Looks like it. Does that mean she likes Tong Zhuo???

— Impossible! They used to be sworn enemies! Absolutely impossible!

…

Tong Zhuo’s meeting went smoothly today, and she was in a good mood. She quickly went to pick up Mu Nan Jia, as she had promised Yueyue that she and Mu Nan Jia would go together.

So she had to hurry.

When she saw Mu Nan Jia reviewing the footage on the monitor, she decided to watch it with her to see how the day’s filming turned out.

After watching the playback together, the director still said uncertainly, “I feel like something is missing, Nan Jia. What do you think?”

Mu Nan Jia nodded in agreement. “There is something missing.”

This wasn’t a typical 10-20 second commercial, but a two-minute-plus brand ad that told a story.

The story seemed complete, but for some reason, it lacked a certain suspense and a stunning element. It wasn’t the kind of video that would grab a viewer’s attention.

They needed to refine it during the shoot.

However, this wasn’t Mu Nan Jia’s strength; it was up to the director to figure out how to do it.

Tong Zhuo also felt that something was missing, but it was already very good that the director wasn’t excluding her and letting her watch. She naturally wouldn’t say anything and just waited for them to come up with a plan.

There was still some time, and she hoped to get to Yueyue on time.

The director stood up and paced back and forth. After a moment, he seemed to have an idea and turned to Mu Nan Jia and Tong Zhuo, his eyes lighting up. “I know what’s missing!”

“What’s missing?” Mu Nan Jia asked.

“The tension. This is the Moon Tide series, and the Moon Tide is created by the attraction between the Earth and the Moon. We need to express that properly, and I feel like we haven’t done it well enough.”

“So?”

“So I think we can add a dance!”

Tong Zhuo’s eyebrows twitched when she heard the director’s words. She had a bad feeling, but she didn’t say anything, because it was very likely they would ask her, a person who couldn’t dance at all, to film it.

Although she thought that was probably impossible.

“But who should we get to dance?” Mu Nan Jia asked intentionally. “The story only has one lead, and if we add another person, we’ll have to pay them.”

“Money is not a problem as long as it looks good.” The director was clearly a generous person and didn’t hesitate to share his idea with Mu Nan Jia and Tong Zhuo. “I think we need that kind of innocent collision and clumsy encounter. It doesn’t need to be too deliberate, just let it happen naturally.”

The director looked at Tong Zhuo. “I think your temperament is a perfect fit. Would you like to try?”

“Me?” Tong Zhuo was a little dazed, pointing to herself. “How can you tell that I’m not good at dancing?”

Director: “That’s perfect! Come on! We’ll just film for two or three minutes. It’ll be quick!”

Tong Zhuo, as usual, asked about the payment. “How much will you pay me?”

“500,000.” Mu Nan Jia said before the director could answer.

“Mu Nan Jia, the director is the one who sets the price, not you.” Tong Zhuo felt that this couldn’t possibly be worth 500,000. She was just a guest star. She couldn’t take advantage of people like that.

The director was surprised when he heard how familiar their tones were, and that Tong Zhuo was calling Mu Nan Jia by her full name. His eyes looked a little more ambiguous now.

“500,000 is right, as long as you can act well!” The director was very generous. After all, he was looking for someone on the fly, and it wasn’t easy to find someone.

And the schedule was tight. If Tong Zhuo was willing, paying a rush fee was no problem.

“Alright, I’ll give it a try.” Seeing how straightforward the director was and how she was in a hurry to pick up Yueyue, Tong Zhuo wanted to get it over with quickly.

“Didn’t you say I overcharged you?” Mu Nan Jia huffed when she saw that she agreed. She was clearly not very happy.
