The Movie Queen's Beloved Crybaby Alpha - Chapter 49

After the police released information about the burglary case, the variety show Artists and Life reposted the announcement and shared an important update.

Actress Bai Qian and her mother had withdrawn from the show’s filming, and the production team would select new artists to participate in future episodes.

This immediately set the internet ablaze.

Some believed it was the right decision, while others thought there was more to the story. Some even began spinning conspiracy theories online.

Bai Qian’s fans, in particular, were outraged on her behalf.

XixiIsTheBest: “Hmph, our Xixi was already being isolated by those people on the show. Now that something’s happened, they’re blaming her even though it wasn’t her fault? What a trash show.”

XixiLittlePrincess: “Production team, I just want to ask did dogs eat your conscience? What did our Xixi ever do to you? You’ve been targeting her while kissing up to that Ye Qinglan. Now you’re trying to dump all the blame on Xixi and wash your hands clean?”

XixiFlyHigh: “Trash show, good riddance! Stop dragging our Xixi into this!”

In short, the show’s official account was flooded with chaos, and the backlash quickly spilled over to Ye Qinglan’s page only to be swiftly shut down by her own fans.

The online battlefield was fierce, but privately, Ye Qinglan remained unaffected. The moment the drama started, Ke Ying had banned her from accessing her own account.

Ye Qinglan was more than happy to stay out of it. After all, she now had a double PR team backing her, no need to worry.

Thinking of this, she turned toward the kitchen and called out, “Ning Yunshu, isn’t it ready yet? I’m starving!”

“Coming, coming!” Ning Yunshu walked out with a bowl of soup, smiling at her. “Go wash your hands, then we’ll eat.”

“Okay.” Ye Qinglan quickly got up and headed to the bathroom.

After washing up and sitting down, she glanced at Ning Yunshu. “So, what’s the deal with Bai Qian?”

Ning Yunshu chuckled. “Probably just a guilty conscience.”

Ye Qinglan wasn’t naive, she didn’t believe for a second that someone like Bai Qian would feel guilty on her own, nor did she believe Ning Yunshu hadn’t pulled strings behind the scenes.

But she also knew that everything Ning Yunshu did was for her sake, so there was no need to dig deeper.

With that in mind, she picked up a piece of spare rib and placed it in Ning Yunshu’s bowl. “Well, good for her for being smart, then.”

Ning Yunshu was pleasantly surprised and happily took a bite.

“Guess so.”

After dinner and a bit of gaming, they turned in early, Ye Qinglan had a brand endorsement to attend the next day.

For the following week, Ye Qinglan was swamped with work, even flying to other cities for shoots. Ning Yunshu was left at home, going about her usual routine working during the day and sending clingy messages to Ye Qinglan whenever she had free time.

Truly living up to the title of The Ultimate Clingy Partner.

By Friday, Ye Qinglan finally returned home just in time for the show’s rescheduled filming on Saturday. Rumor had it they’d already found a replacement artist, but Ye Qinglan had been too busy to check who it was.

The moment she got home, she collapsed into bed and only woke up when Ning Yunshu returned from work.

Seeing how exhausted she looked, Ning Yunshu’s heart ached.

“Do you want to sleep a little longer? I’ll start cooking and call you when it’s ready,” she asked softly.

“No,” Ye Qinglan shook her head. “I still need to pack. I have a flight to catch tomorrow.”

Ning Yunshu sighed helplessly before smiling at her. “Then you go freshen up first, sister. I’ll make something simple today. After we eat, we can pack our things?”

“Alright.” Ye Qinglan covered a yawn with her hand before returning to her room.

Ning Yunshu tidied up briefly before heading to the kitchen to prepare their meal.

After a quick breakfast, the two began packing their luggage.

Their next destination was by the seaside, so they didn’t need many clothes. Once all their daily necessities and toiletries were packed, they turned in early.

The next morning, Qin Yun came to pick them up for the airport.

Ye Qinglan couldn’t help but remark, “Just a couple days ago, Tiantian was telling me that ever since we had Sister Qin Yun, she feels like her workload as an assistant has decreased.”

Qin Yun chuckled. “Then I’m really stealing her salary.”

Having recently gotten a raise, Qin Yun had absolutely no complaints about this.

Ye Qinglan laughed. “It’s fine. She’s enjoying herself now.”

Amidst the laughter, Qin Yun drove them to the airport. After connecting them with the production crew staff, she took her leave.

Ye Qinglan and Ning Yunshu then proceeded to the departure lounge with the staff.

Along the way, the staff member explained some filming details for this episode.

“We’ll be recording some casual moments during your wait at the airport and during the flight to use as opening clips. Of course, we’ll coordinate the edited content with you to avoid causing any unnecessary issues,” the staff member explained.

Ye Qinglan expressed her understanding, while Ning Yunshu said it was fine as long as personal privacy wasn’t compromised.

The staff thanked them for their cooperation before leading them to the departure lounge.

They weren’t the earliest arrivals, two groups were already waiting there.

One group was Wei Youning and Xu Youyou, while the other made Ye Qinglan’s eyes widen in surprise.

“Teacher Du? Sister Xu?” Ye Qinglan’s face was full of disbelief.

Wei Youning stepped forward. “Qinglan, did you know? Teacher Du and Sister Xu have actually been secretly married.”

Ye Qinglan paused for a moment before looking at Du Wenjun. Seeing the other woman nod with a smile, she slowly said, “About that… Sister Wei, I already knew.”

Wei Youning: “???”

Seeing Wei Youning’s utterly confused expression, Ye Qinglan raised her hands in surrender. “Teacher Du told me not to say anything. How could I dare reveal it?”

Wei Youning was speechless. She looked at the group and lamented, “You all kept me in the dark for so long!”

Du Wenjun smiled apologetically.

Xu Chaoyang spoke up, “We’re sorry, Teacher Wei. We had too many concerns before and couldn’t announce it publicly. But now we’ve made up our minds, and with this opportunity, we wanted to take it.”

After hearing this, Wei Youning sighed deeply before suddenly realizing something. She looked around and groaned, “Oh no! With this development, this episode is going to be nothing but dog food!”

Xu Youyou, however, was delighted. “Great! I get to ship couples firsthand!”

Wei Youning’s mouth twitched. “Don’t celebrate too soon. When you’re drowning in dog food, let’s see if you’re still happy.”

Xu Youyou giggled. “As long as I’m shipping couples, I’ll definitely be happy.”

The group couldn’t help but laugh at this exchange.

Just then, Jiang Can and his girlfriend arrived. Seeing everyone in such high spirits, he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s going on? What did I miss?”

Wei Youning replied, “Nothing much. It’s just that originally I only had to endure two couples’ PDA, but now it’s three.”

Jiang Can paused, glanced at Xu Chaoyang and Du Wenjun, and immediately understood. “Oh, so that’s how it is.”

“Exactly!” Wei Youning sighed.

“Who would’ve thought Professor Du and Sister Xu were secretly married? Once the broadcast starts, the whole internet is going to explode another major headline,” Ye Qinglan couldn’t help but remark.

“Well, there’s been quite a stir in this circle lately,” Du Wenjun said with a smile.

“The production team really knows how to pick people,” Ye Qinglan chuckled.

Du Wenjun blinked. “Actually, no. I approached the production team myself.”

“What?” Everyone was stunned.

Du Wenjun stated plainly, “Well, since you’re all here, I thought I might as well join. Plus, it’s free publicity for the movie.”

Ning Yunshu laughed. “So Director Xu is getting a free ride?”

“Not exactly,” Du Wenjun replied with a smile. “What if it sparks a bunch of backlash?”

“Of course, I did check with Director Xu first. She said it was worth a try,” Du Wenjun shrugged.

“If Director Xu gave the green light, then there’s nothing to worry about,” Ning Yunshu said with a grin.

“She must have thought it was a good idea, otherwise she wouldn’t have agreed.”

Du Wenjun nodded. “Director Xu is famously cunning.”

“If she hears you say that, she’ll probably start grumbling again,” Ning Yunshu teased.

“Then we definitely can’t let her hear it,” Du Wenjun said, feigning innocence.

Everyone laughed and continued chatting about everything under the sun until the airport announcement called for boarding. They quickly gathered their things and lined up to board the plane.

The flight lasted an hour and a half, so everyone planned to rest during the trip. Meanwhile, the production team’s editors worked tirelessly to finalize the opening segment, confirming details with the cast and completing it just before landing.

As the plane touched down, the crew informed everyone that the live broadcast would begin the moment they stepped off the plane. With luggage in hand, they followed the staff’s instructions and exited the cabin one by one.

Fans waiting in the livestream erupted the moment it went live. After watching the preview clip prepared by the production team, the screen was instantly flooded with comments as their favorite stars appeared.
