The Abused Heroine Stops Pretending [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 44

Originally, she had wanted to vent her anger by slapping someone, but in the end, not only did her anger not dissipate, it only grew stronger.

She couldn’t understand whether Meng Xue was genuinely foolish or just pretending to be.

Yet, no matter which it was, it left Qiao Xiaorou with a sense of powerlessness.

Over the past few days, she had tried every possible method, but in the end, Meng Xue remained completely unharmed. Instead, Qiao Xiaorou herself suffered repeated defeats.

When she returned to the dressing room, her phone rang. Seeing an unfamiliar number, she was about to hang up but ended up answering it as if possessed.

“Hello, is this Miss Qiao Xiaorou?”

“What do you want?” Hearing the unfamiliar woman’s voice, Qiao Xiaorou frowned.

The woman on the other end chuckled. “Let me introduce myself, I’m Sun Sijia.”

Sun Sijia, who had disappeared for over half a month, had resurfaced. The mere thought of the person she loved most and the person who loved her most being together filled her with resentment.

In fact, after fermenting for half a month, this resentment had only intensified, reaching a point where it could erupt at any moment.

She wanted to destroy something though she couldn’t quite articulate what.

After seeing Tang Jing and her senior recently trending on social media, jealousy surged within her, but she didn’t know how to vent it.

So when she saw Qiao Xiaorou, an idea began forming in her mind though it wasn’t fully shaped yet, and she didn’t dare act on it.

But she wanted to get to know Qiao Xiaorou, this potential ally.

Qiao Xiaorou had naturally heard of Sun Sijia, the woman who had been entangled in rumors with Sister Tang for five years.

When she recently discovered that Sister Tang had no real connection with Sun Sijia, she had been so delighted that she bought several handbags to celebrate.

She had thought she’d lost one rival, only for Meng Xue to appear and this Meng Xue was far more formidable than Sun Sijia.

Though she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what made Meng Xue so formidable, every time she saw the way Sister Tang looked at Meng Xue, she felt a sense of crisis.

“What do you want?” Qiao Xiaorou pushed aside her thoughts and replied nonchalantly.

Though she disliked Meng Xue, she despised Sun Sijia even more.

This little green tea was no good, she didn’t even like Sister Tang yet kept stringing her along, scheming her way into trending alongside her time and time again.

Now that she had nothing to do with Sister Tang, who knew why she was reaching out now?

“You hate Meng Xue, don’t you? I can work with you.”

Qiao Xiaorou raised an eyebrow. “Work with you? Why would I do that?” She let out a cold laugh, clearly looking down on her.

Sun Sijia said, “I can give Tang Jing to you, just don’t bully Meng Xue.”

At this, Qiao Xiaorou couldn’t help but laugh outright. “What? Since when was Tang Jing yours to give? And who do you think you are, making demands like that? Don’t tell me you think the whole world revolves around you.” With that, she rolled her eyes and hung up.

Hearing the dial tone on the other end, Sun Sijia’s face darkened, her entire body trembling with rage.

Meanwhile, Qiao Xiaorou was equally furious not only had she failed to provoke Meng Xue, but she’d also been angered by Sun Sijia’s nonsense.

Because of Qiao Xiaorou’s impulsive actions, the original schedule had been delayed. As a result, Zhao Kuang was prepared to skip the midday break to ensure the two planned scenes were shot on time.

But this newcomer Meng Xue had given him too many pleasant surprises.

Everyone knew how talented Teacher Tang was, but Meng Xue, who had just returned from abroad, had originally pursued a singing and dancing career. There had been concerns about her acting skills, but now it seemed she was born for this.

That night, they were filming a late-night scene another car scene.

In the drama, Fu Wen (played by Tang Jing) and Su Xiaoran (played by Meng Xue) finally confessed their feelings and got together.

After enduring separation, the two reunited, their longing reaching its peak. When they embraced, that longing transformed into passion, igniting like wildfire.

While the makeup artist was doing their touch-ups, Director Zhao asked the rest of the crew to leave, keeping only a few female staff members on set. The filming was handed over to the female assistant director.

Truth be told, Director Zhao had wanted to direct this scene himself, but given the need to avoid any potential rumors or misunderstandings, he had no choice but to pass the reins to the female assistant director. Fortunately, after years of collaboration, the two shared a strong working rapport.

Once the set was mostly cleared, the studio felt noticeably emptier.

Tang Jing and Meng Xue were both ready.

Tang Jing wore a professional office skirt, but far from looking stiff, she exuded the mature, domineering charm that netizens adored.

Meng Xue, on the other hand, was dressed in a red dress. Compared to her earlier mischievous style, she now carried a hint of allure and fiery passion.

Seeing Meng Xue dressed like this, Tang Jing was momentarily stunned.

Her assistant subtly reminded her, and before anyone else noticed, Tang Jing quickly composed herself.

But none of this escaped Meng Xue’s notice. The corners of her lips curled ever so slightly.

Once the assistant director confirmed everything was ready, she called out, “Teacher Tang, Teacher Meng, get ready.”

“Got it,” Meng Xue nodded.

With the call of “Action,” Tang Jing and Meng Xue immediately slipped into character.

Even though the crew had seen them work together many times before, they were still amazed. Teacher Tang’s ability to immerse herself so quickly was expected, given her years of experience.

But Meng Xue, a former idol group member, could keep up with Teacher Tang just as effortlessly. With talent like this, how could she just be a newcomer? In the near future, she would undoubtedly stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Teacher Tang.

It was only a matter of time.

Fu Wen and Su Xiaoran entered the room one after the other, both appearing calm on the surface, as if the host had simply brought a friend home.

But the moment the door slammed shut, Fu Wen, who had been walking ahead, turned and pinned Su Xiaoran against the door.

One lowered her head, the other tilted hers up, what should have been a simple gaze was instead thick with tension. The crew held their breaths.

Just as the atmosphere reached its peak, Fu Wen leaned down and sealed Su Xiaoran’s lips with her own. The latter’s slender arms wrapped around her neck, deepening the kiss.

Tang Jing’s lips trembled slightly. The hand resting on Meng Xue’s waist tightened with nervous excitement, pulling her fiercely closer.

For a moment, Tang Jing couldn’t tell if this was reality or a dream. All she could sense was the other woman’s faint, intoxicating scent, making it impossible to pull away.

Locked in their embrace, they moved from the entryway to the living room couch, their clothes slightly disheveled.

“Cut!” The assistant director called out, her face flushed.

The scene was simply too explosive. Even though she had been married and had children, she still couldn’t handle such an intense sight.

Tang Jing and Meng Xue didn’t fare much better either.

Tang Jing suppressed the restlessness within him, took the bottle of mineral water handed to him by his assistant, and drank most of it before barely managing to cool down the heat inside him.

On the surface, Meng Xue blushed out of shyness, but inwardly, she was slightly surprised.

Although she had experienced so many mission worlds, they had all been without romantic pairings.

This was the first time she had lost control because of a kiss. She glanced over in that direction, her expression momentarily dazed.

But soon, she composed herself again, and to her surprise, she even felt a hint of anticipation.

This newcomer had given her too many surprises, and she was already eager for the next part of the mission.

After the two had rested, they were about to start filming the second intimate scene, this time set in the bathroom, with both of them lying in the bathtub.
