Reborn! Caught Up by the Critically Obsessed Actress - Chapter 20

As soon as the plane landed, Xie Jingcheng’s family driver came to pick them up. His demeanor was respectful, even towards Song Qingxing, treating her exactly like a second young lady of the household.

Song Qingxing planned to go to the company first.

But she remembered that Xie Jingcheng had asked her this morning which apartment she planned to move to.

Now, she could give an answer.

“I want to move closer to the company. That way… I might be able to sleep in a little later when I wake up.”

Because a celebrity’s schedule is too busy, they spend the whole year either rushing to record a variety show, or going to act, or running promotions.

So, many celebrities choose to sleep in the car during the gaps in their schedule.

Song Qingxing was the same.

In fact, during the years she was explosively popular, the film and television resources the company gave her never stopped.

Therefore, she became increasingly exhausted.

“Alright, when you finish work, I will have the driver pick you up.”

Xie Jingcheng asked. She didn’t have much planned for today; there was a family gathering, which Xie Jingcheng didn’t particularly want to attend. Perhaps tidying up the apartment, and then reading a few books to pass the time would be more comfortable than being stuck with a noisy crowd.

“Around eight in the evening, I suppose.”

The two parted ways outside the airport. Song Qingxing got into the car sent by the company. The car door was open, and Xie Jingcheng stood outside.

The sun was just right, and the weather was clear. She was still wearing glasses, but compared to the unfamiliarity or aversion of her previous life,

Song Qingxing’s heart suddenly felt a flutter of excitement. Xie Jingcheng was actually this good-looking, and she was very gentle to people.

Perhaps it wasn’t good for her to trouble someone this much.

If you take, you must give. Song Qingxing intertwined her fingers. She had never been this conflicted in this lifetime. Taking a deep breath.

She opened her eyes.

Song Qingxing, haven’t you already made up your mind?

Does so-called fate and love matter in the face of money? Can love make your parents free from debt and cure their diseases?

Impossible.

Although a little awkward, Song Qingxing waved her hand.

“Xie Jingcheng, come here.”

“Hmm?”

“I still have to go back to my apartment later. I haven’t been back in a while, and I wonder how the few scheduled cleaners I hired are doing…”

Before Xie Jingcheng could finish speaking, she was pulled by her collar. Her entire body leaned forward, completely falling into the door of the black nanny van.

Her nose touched a soft, warm jade, which made her very embarrassed. Xie Jingcheng’s glasses were crooked, and she felt her cheek brush against a warm softness.

There was also a faint scent of milk.

Song Qingxing had straightened her hair for acting, and the soft ends brushed against Xie Jingcheng’s nose, making her want to sneeze.

Fortunately, she wasn’t sensitive to odors or a hay fever sufferer, or she would definitely have made a fool of herself.

Xie Jingcheng supported herself on the car’s soft leather cushion, just about to prop herself up, when her side profile was cupped by a pair of warm, soft hands.

Luckily, she wasn’t wearing a collared shirt today.

Otherwise, the person in front of her would definitely have pulled her tie.

“Song Qingxing… what exactly do you want to do?”

Before she could finish her sentence, a soft pair of lips pressed against hers, warm and sweet, like a perfectly ripe cantaloupe.

Xie Jingcheng was stunned for a moment, but she didn’t resist the feeling, and instead kissed her back.

Kiss after kiss, deepening the intensity, making it difficult for Song Qingxing to cope.

Oh, my god! She really just wanted to repay her once.

It was only right to give Xie Jingcheng some gift or reward for troubling her so much, but the person in front of her seemed possessed.

Time after time, she left her lungs starved for air.

It wasn’t until her lips were slightly swollen that Xie Jingcheng finally pulled away.

The driver had gotten out to smoke just now. It would take at least half an hour to drive the car from the airport to the company, so how could he manage without a cigarette to refresh himself during this time?

That’s why Song Qingxing dared to pull her up without restraint.

Xie Jingcheng pulled out a handkerchief.

Both of their lipsticks were smeared, like they had just eaten ice cream on a summer day.

As the handkerchief wiped her mouth, it also spread the light pink lipstick stain.

“Next time you want to kiss, remember to tell me. This isn’t good in public.”

Song Qingxing was a little speechless.

She had just been patting Xie Jingcheng’s back, telling her to stop, but the other person ignored that fact.

And now she was pretending to be a gentleman here.

“Wasn’t it you who got carried away with kissing just now? You didn’t even react when I patted you.”

Song Qingxing wasn’t going to indulge Xie Jingcheng and immediately retorted.

She noticed a change in Xie Jingcheng’s expression, looking a little embarrassed, so she immediately shut her mouth. Because she closed her mouth so quickly, her teeth almost bit her tongue.

Oh no, oh no!

How could she say such a thing to her benefactor?

This is truly outrageous.

“My fault.”

Who would have thought Xie Jingcheng would actually admit her mistake first?

“Sorry.”

“I will restrain this impulse in the future.”

After Xie Jingcheng finished speaking, she used the handkerchief to wipe the lipstick clean for Song Qingxing before leaving.

At that moment, the driver, who had finished smoking outside and stood in the breeze for a while, also returned.

The two parted ways just like that.

Song Qingxing got into the car, silent all the way. Earlier, on the private jet, Song Qingxing hadn’t slept because she was curious. At this moment, with the slight bumps and jolts of the nanny van, she was quickly about to drift off into a dream.

But just then.

The driver broke the silence.

“Sister Song, are you and Xie Jingcheng really together?”

Sure enough, even a driver who had been immersed in the entertainment industry for years couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity about this kind of thing.

“Something like that.”

“It’s a lover relationship.”

Song Qingxing didn’t need to be secretive, because she believed that this matter would surely become known throughout the industry within two months.

Neither she nor Xie Jingcheng knew how to be low-key.

The public and fans would only assume they were promoting a new movie, but in reality, that wasn’t the case.

The two were truly together, except that the way they were together was a bit strange—it wasn’t a normal path to romance.

The driver was momentarily dazed.

“Ah!”

He then exclaimed in surprise.

“Focus, you’re driving.”

Song Qingxing was a little speechless at the driver’s reaction. Wasn’t it just being someone’s mistress?

What was so strange about that?

Didn’t such things crawl all over the industry?

The driver should logically be used to it.

After all, he wasn’t her dedicated driver alone; he was the company’s dedicated driver and also responsible for picking up other artists.

“I just can’t believe that, Sister Song… you would take this path…”

The driver thought for a moment before speaking.

Because the Song Qingxing he knew was someone who would suffer in silence, someone who would absolutely not accept such a twisted and abnormal relationship.

Even though it could indeed be a stepping stone.

Cutting off more than ten years of struggle.

“I didn’t want to either, but I’ve figured it out now. Instead of dating those smelly men, I’d rather humble myself to Xie Jingcheng.”

“She’s clean, and she’s nice to me. Most importantly, she can give me the resources I want.”

No…

The most important thing was.

Xie Jingcheng was the guarantee for the rest of her life. Even having been reborn, the direction of the entertainment industry changes too quickly.

Song Qingxing wasn’t entirely sure she could grasp it.

So, she needed this long-term “meal ticket.”

Originally, this was just a mutually beneficial relationship, but why:

Was her heart beating so fast just now, so erratically, as if she were falling in love?

Song Qingxing pressed her hand to her heart.

She cursed inwardly.

Don’t think about it!

Do you want to become a love-struck idiot?

Even zombies won’t eat those.
