The Movie Queen's Beloved Crybaby Alpha - Chapter 67

As the musical began, the two stopped their playful banter and focused intently on the performance.

It was a classic production, and combined with the actors’ outstanding performances, Ye Qinglan was completely enthralled. The live atmosphere was far more breathtaking than anything seen on television.

As a result, she was utterly absorbed in the show, paying no attention to those around her.

It wasn’t until the performance ended that she finally snapped out of it.

Turning her head, she saw Zhou Tiantian looking at her, while Ning Yunshu was nowhere in sight.

With a puzzled expression, Ye Qinglan asked, “Where’s Xiaoshu?”

Zhou Tiantian replied, “Young Master Ning went to take a call. She told you, but you were too busy watching the musical to notice.”

Ye Qinglan guiltily touched the tip of her nose.

“I’ll go find her,” she said, starting to rise.

“Wait! Don’t, Sister Ye!” Zhou Tiantian quickly grabbed her arm.

Ye Qinglan turned to her, confused, and Zhou Tiantian couldn’t help but sigh at how love made people foolish. She explained, “The theater just let out, it’s crowded outside. What if someone recognizes you?”

Hearing this, Ye Qinglan realized she’d been too hasty. She cleared her throat and said, “Then we’ll wait here for her.”

Zhou Tiantian finally relaxed.

Fortunately, Ning Yunshu didn’t keep them waiting long. She soon returned and smiled at Ye Qinglan. “I spoke with the staff, we can leave through the employee exit.”

“Okay,” Ye Qinglan nodded in agreement.

The three gathered their things and left through the staff passage, taking a car back to the hotel. Zhou Tiantian returned to her own room, while Ning Yunshu tried to follow Ye Qinglan into hers only to be stopped at the door.

Ye Qinglan glanced around to make sure no one was nearby before whispering to Ning Yunshu, “You should go back. We have an early flight tomorrow, and I need to shower.”

Ning Yunshu pouted, prompting Ye Qinglan to soothe her. “Come on, just hold on a little longer, okay?”

Ning Yunshu reluctantly agreed, “Fine, I’ll listen to my sister.”

Ye Qinglan smiled softly. “Then… goodnight?”

“Goodnight.”

After saying their goodbyes, they each returned to their rooms to freshen up before turning in early.

Over the next few days, Ning Yunshu continued traveling with the film crew. At first, Ye Qinglan worried it might interfere with her work, but after repeated reassurances, she finally relaxed.

When their promotional tour finally ended, they disembarked the plane and were driven home by Qin Yun.

The moment they stepped inside and kicked off their shoes, Ye Qinglan naturally turned, draping an arm over Ning Yunshu’s shoulders. Ning Yunshu, in turn, wrapped an arm around her waist, and soon their lips met in a lingering kiss.

Stumbling into the bedroom, they exchanged no words only a deeper longing for each other.

After their intimate moment, Ye Qinglan nestled contentedly in Ning Yunshu’s arms, letting out a satisfied yawn.

Ning Yunshu kissed her forehead, gently stroking her back before asking softly, “The variety show resumes filming the day after tomorrow, right?”

“Yeah,” Ye Qinglan sighed. “This time, it’s apparently set on the grasslands.”

“The grasslands?” Ning Yunshu twirled a lock of Ye Qinglan’s hair around her finger and grinned. “Then I’ll get to see my sister riding a horse.”

When Ye Qinglan heard these words, her fingers were lightly tracing the scar on Ning Yunshu’s shoulder. She raised an eyebrow slightly, then pressed Ning Yunshu onto the bed with a forceful wrist movement, flipping over to pin her down. Lowering her head, she gently licked the scar before looking up again.

Her eyes shimmered like a seductive enchantress who could steal lives.

“You can see it now too.”

Ning Yunshu’s breathing suddenly grew heavier.

…

After their passionate entanglement, both lay together gasping for breath like fish out of water. Ye Qinglan lightly kicked Ning Yunshu’s calf with her toes and said, “I’m hungry.”

Hearing this, Ning Yunshu made to get up and prepare dinner.

“I’ll cook.”

But Ye Qinglan stopped her, saying, “Don’t bother. I’m craving hotpot, let’s eat out?”

Ning Yunshu chuckled softly, kissing Ye Qinglan’s forehead. “Alright, then shall my dear get up and change?”

“Okay.”

After getting ready, they headed out. Ye Qinglan chose a hotpot restaurant downstairs, sparing them a long trip. They booked a private room, ordered their dishes, and waited eagerly for the feast to begin.

When the food arrived, the ravenous pair immediately dug in. After devouring their meal, Ye Qinglan rubbed her slightly rounded belly in satisfaction.

Stuffed and content, they took a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood under the night sky to aid digestion before returning home.

Having not rested properly in a long time, Ye Qinglan slept until noon the next day. The comfortable bed made her reluctant to wake, and it took Ning Yunshu’s repeated, exasperated attempts to rouse her.

With bleary eyes, Ye Qinglan grudgingly got up to wash. She was somewhat more alert by the time she emerged.

“I’m so tired,” she complained as she sat at the dining table. “I really need a few days off.”

Ning Yunshu served her soup and coaxed, “Once the variety show wraps up, you can rest properly for a few days.”

“Hopefully,” Ye Qinglan muttered before taking a sip of soup.

“Let’s eat. After this, we’ll pack.”

Ning Yunshu smiled.

“Okay.”

Fed and prepared, they left for the airport early the next morning to meet the crew and fly to City H.

On the plane, Ye Qinglan flipped through a City H promotional booklet and remarked, “Who would’ve thought we’d get to visit Xiao Wenjin’s hometown?”

Ning Yunshu immediately leaned over to peek at the booklet. “So this is President Xiao’s hometown?”

Ye Qinglan raised a finger to Ning Yunshu’s forehead and pushed her away playfully. “Yeah, didn’t I mention that before?”

“Nope, you didn’t,” Ning Yunshu replied with a hint of jealousy.

Ye Qinglan chuckled. “Must’ve slipped my mind. But anyway, we’re here to film, not for anything else.”

Ning Yunshu gave a light humph.

Amused, Ye Qinglan squeezed her hand.

“That’s some strong vinegar I’m smelling. What did you two have for breakfast?” Wei Youning teased from nearby.

Ye Qinglan sighed. “Wei-jie.”

Wei Youning covered a laugh with her hand. “Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing.”

Shaking her head in amusement, Ye Qinglan then heard Wei Youning add, “But speaking of which, President Xiao’s family is quite remarkable going from mine owners to real estate tycoons. Quite the legendary rise.”

Ye Qinglan nodded with a smile. “Exactly why we always joke and call her our little fortune carp.”

Wei Youning smiled and said, “Truly a lucky koi’s fortune, how enviable.”

Xu Youyou peeked out and asked, “Then does President Xiao also have amazing luck when pulling gacha in games?”

“I don’t know about games, but her eye for talent is definitely top-tier. If Qinglan were rated as a game character, she’d be at least an SSR,” Wei Youning joked.

Ye Qinglan chuckled, only to hear someone softly huff beside her. Fortunately, the sound was too quiet for others to notice.

Helpless, Ye Qinglan quietly caught Ning Yunshu’s hand, interlacing their fingers.

Only then did the sulky one settle down.

The plane arrived in City H without incident. As they disembarked, the staff reminded them that the livestream was about to begin, prompting everyone to quickly tidy up before heading out.

Once they boarded the shuttle bus, it drove straight toward the suburban ranch.

The host kept the atmosphere lively during the ride, and the livestream chat buzzed with excitement until they reached their destination.

Laughing and chatting, everyone stepped off the bus. But when Ye Qinglan looked up, she saw someone who shouldn’t have been there.

“Hey, Qinglan! Bet you didn’t expect this,” the person greeted her cheerfully.

“Xiao Wenjin? What are you doing here?” Ye Qinglan asked, stunned.

Xiao Wenjin tilted her chin up proudly. “Because this ranch you’re visiting? It’s mine.”

Ye Qinglan: “???”

Wait, she knew Xiao Wenjin came from a wealthy family, but she had no idea they owned a ranch!

Ning Yunshu glanced at Xiao Wenjin, who greeted her, “Long time no see, President Ning.”

“Likewise, President Xiao,” Ning Yunshu replied.

The host stepped forward. “Thank you, President Xiao, for your generous support in providing your family’s ranch as the filming location for our show.”

“Not at all. Qinglan is our company’s artist, and we’re old friends, of course I’d lend a hand,” Xiao Wenjin said with a smile.

Ye Qinglan sighed. “Just how many things about you do I not know?”

Xiao Wenjin winked. “That’s a secret~”

Ye Qinglan: “…”

Ning Yunshu stealthily reached out, hooking her pinky around Ye Qinglan’s.

Ye Qinglan couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

What to do when your puppy keeps getting jealous over the silliest things? Asking for a friend, urgently!

Luckily, they didn’t linger at the entrance for long. Xiao Wenjin soon led the group to the yurts prepared for them so they could drop off their luggage.

Once inside, as they unpacked, Ning Yunshu suddenly pulled out her phone and tapped away. A moment later, Ye Qinglan’s phone buzzed.

She checked it and saw a message from Ning Yunshu:

[Ning Yunshu]: I have a lot of assets too, you know.

Ye Qinglan stifled a laugh and glanced at Ning Yunshu, only to find the other woman deliberately avoiding her gaze while organizing her things.

Amused and exasperated, Ye Qinglan quickly replied:

[Ye Qinglan]: I know. Kisses for our little puppy.

The moment Ning Yunshu read the message, her eyes curved into crescents. Humming, she tucked her phone away and walked over to Ye Qinglan.

“I’m all packed. Should we head out, sis?”

Ye Qinglan marveled at her whiplash-inducing mood swings.

“Sure.”

Then, deliberately pausing, she added, “Earlier, you seemed a bit upset. What suddenly cheered you up?”

Ning Yunshu played dumb.

“Really? I didn’t notice.”

Ye Qinglan struggled to suppress her laughter, but considering they were on camera, she decided to spare this jealous yet easily appeased puppy for now.

“Alright then, maybe I was just seeing things. Let’s go, we shouldn’t keep everyone waiting.”

Ning Yunshu stepped forward and linked arms with Ye Qinglan.

“Okay.”
