The Scandalous Actress Needs to Strive GL - Chapter 10
The breathtaking caresses were accompanied by a rapidly rising temperature. Qiu Wan looked at the person obediently closing their eyes, a dark flicker in her eyes. She truly looked forward to the sight of Mu Qingchen being utterly bewildered by desire.
“Be gentle,” Mu Qingchen said with an unstable breath. Her legs trembled twice with the other person’s movements. She suddenly remembered something and struggled softly, “Don’t leave… don’t leave a mark on my neck. I still have to go to the company.”
“Alright,” Qiu Wan agreed cleanly. However, she freed one hand to cover Mu Qingchen’s red lips, as if not wanting the other person to say anything more, or perhaps not wanting to be distracted, focusing only on her actions.
After a long time, she paused her wrist, keeping her current position still. Only when Mu Qingchen opened her eyes did Qiu Wan roll over and lie to one side, looking at the beautiful chandelier on the ceiling.
“Go wash up.”
“Okay.”
Qiu Wan returned after washing and saw Mu Qingchen, who had somehow put on a nightgown again, crouching by the bedside table organizing something. She shook her slightly sore forearm, took a deep breath, and half lifted the busy person, pressing her down onto the bed with the leverage: “What are you busy with, Qingchen?”
“Ah” Mu Qingchen subconsciously let out a cry, her right hand trying hard to avoid the bedding. A coolness spread across her fair face. If her eyes weren’t constantly darting away, she might have had more deterrent power.
Qiu Wan followed her movement, looking over, and then exclaimed in surprise: “What is this… thing?”
The air was silent for a few seconds before Mu Qingchen said with a serious expression: “Finger cots. For hygiene, health, and… also… more… more comfortable.”
Qiu Wan cleared her throat, her gaze shifting to the side: “Whatever you feel comfortable with.”
“I haven’t tried it. You try it first, and tell me if it’s uncomfortable.” Mu Qingchen seemed to just remember what she should be doing. She swallowed her dry throat and slowly moved closer to the person beside her.
Her left hand caressed Qiu Wan’s earlobe while her right hand slowly probed. In fact, after the contract wasn’t signed that night, and she was exhausted from being messed with, she bought more than a dozen boxes.
The main reason was that when she sought advice online, she saw someone recommending this brand of finger cots, which came with a small booklet a skill guide on how two women could pleasure each other… that way.
That’s why she bought more than a dozen boxes. As for why she bought so many at once, Mu Qingchen’s fingers cooperated, thinking that it was this woman in front of her who taught her.
Wasn’t it never an affair that could be solved with just one finger? Well, tonight, she would give the other person the same feeling.
In the morning, Mu Qingchen smiled slightly as she looked at the person still sleeping soundly. This time, she was the first to get out of bed.
After getting off the bed, she touched her somewhat sore waist, then her gaze swept downwards, and her face silently darkened. This woman was truly thoughtful; there were no marks on her neck, but the area below her neck was covered in them. Fortunately, there weren’t any banquets recently that required her to wear evening gowns, or it would be even impossible to go out.
She turned on her phone, and immediately a barrage of “ding-ding-ding” notifications poured in. Before she could check the contents of the messages, her assistant’s call came in.
“President, something big has happened! The car you used to pick up Miss Qiu yesterday was photographed, and it’s now trending third on the hot search.”
Yu Baishu’s anxious voice came through.
Mu Qingchen glanced at the person in bed, then went downstairs to the living room to take the call: “Why panic? Does anyone know it was me?”
“No one knows. Only half of the license plate was photographed.” Yu Baishu choked. The paparazzi were only focused on taking photos of Qiu Wan’s face and forgot to clearly photograph the license plate. If she hadn’t recognized the President’s profile and this recently purchased car, she probably wouldn’t have known.
Yu Baishu rolled her eyes speechlessly. Was the problem about identity? The problem was that the rumors about Qiu Wan latching onto a rich patron would once again fly everywhere. Most importantly, the President was discussing this matter with her so openly, without any cover-up.
“There’s no need to respond. The heat will naturally drop over time,” Mu Qingchen said before hanging up the phone, then opening the hot search.
#Explosive: Qiu Wan picked up late at night by a luxury car.
#Entertainment’s female player confirmed to have latched onto a patron.
After reading it, she surprisingly didn’t feel angry. Unlike the previous two times she saw Qiu Wan’s scandals with other people, when the co-star was herself, she felt a subtle sense of hidden pleasure.
Mu Qingchen opened her browser and searched for the four words ‘Suspension Bridge Effect’ again. It must be because of this. The events of the first night were too thrilling, too unrestrained, and too unforgettable, so much so that after all this time, she still had this feeling of mistaken affection.
Mu’s Entertainment. Jin Wen looked at the trending searches online, along with the endless stream of negative stories no talent, no acting skills, only a pretty face, good for nothing, no skill… It was obvious that someone was kicking her when she was down. Crucially, Qiu Wan’s contract hadn’t been renewed, she wasn’t replying to messages, and her phone was unreachable.
She looked at her phone feeling somewhat exhausted. Remembering Assistant Yu, who was unusually nervous and repeatedly cautioned her before she went to find Qiu Wan yesterday, she went to the assistant’s office on a hunch.
Yu Baishu was silent for a moment after hearing the story, then quietly opened her contacts and tapped on “President.” The call connected instantly, suggesting the other party must have just been looking at her phone.
“Well… Jin Wen can’t reach Miss Qiu.” She didn’t dare to call her “President” directly. If she accidentally revealed the identity of the mysterious patron, the consequences would be unpredictable.
“Give the phone to Jin Wen. I’ll speak,” a voice devoid of emotion came from the phone, carrying a hint of unquestionable decisiveness. Yu Baishu instantly understood that the President didn’t intend to hide it from Jin Wen. It made sense; as Qiu Wan’s manager, it would be impossible to keep it a secret later.
She handed the phone over, whispering, “It’s President Mu. Miss Qiu is with her.”
Jin Wen took the phone, confused, glanced at Yu Baishu, whose expression held a deeper meaning, and respectfully said, “President Yu, I’m Jin Wen.”
Then she waited quietly. She rarely had direct contact with the aloof President Mu, but she had heard that she was a very efficient person. It was easiest to deal with efficient people because they wouldn’t want to waste time.
Indeed, the other party explained everything clearly.
“The person who picked up Qiu Wan was me. No public relations is necessary. Also, regarding the new contract renewal, come to my office tomorrow morning. Additionally, have the female secretary send up two breakfasts, light ones.”
After hanging up the phone, Mu Qingchen returned to the bedroom and saw that Qiu Wan had woken up at some point and was scrolling through her phone in bed.
“Don’t worry. The heat will drop quickly. Come back to the company with me tomorrow morning to sign the new contract.”
Qiu Wan raised an eyebrow: “You know a lot about me? Are we in the same company?”
“Yes. My surname is Mu, Mu Qingchen.”
“Mu? Which department are you in at the company? A manager?” Qiu Wan frowned. She searched her memory but couldn’t find the name. It felt very familiar, but she couldn’t recall anyone in the industry with that name. Could she be a manager? What a pity. With such a cold and beautiful face, if she had followed the ‘reserved ice queen’ path, she would probably have been an instant hit upon debut.
Mu Qingchen was surprised for a moment, pondered for two seconds, and stared at the person in bed: “The Mu of Mu’s Entertainment. You can call me President Mu.”
President Mu? Mu’s Entertainment! Mu Qingchen!
Qiu Wan was momentarily stunned. She remembered now the CEO of Mu’s, Mu Qingchen, the sole heir of the Mu family.
Snapping out of it, she looked at the person in front of her, whose expression was hard to read, and then chuckled lightly: “No, I like to call you Qingchen. We are lovers now, aren’t we?”
“Bed partners. I’ll be your backer, and you’ll be my bed partner. Mutual benefit,” Mu Qingchen subconsciously explained, even feeling a little disgusted by the smile Qiu Wan gave after knowing her identity.
She was just calculatingly led into the ‘Suspension Bridge Effect’ by her best friend, and just happened to have someone else walking across the bridge at the other end. The duration of the Suspension Bridge Effect is short. It’s too far from the status of lovers. They were just mutually benefiting from each other.
Qiu Wan threw off the blanket, half knelt, moved closer, and hugged Mu Qingchen’s waist until their foreheads touched. She chuckled softly, her tone slightly playful: “We are mutually benefiting, but what I want is you, this bed partner. As for a backer, I won’t presume to climb that high, President Mu. You really don’t have to.”
After speaking, she lowered her head, lightly licked the corner of her own mouth, then smiled silently and bit down hard.
“Hiss” A painful sensation came from her neck, and Mu Qingchen immediately turned her head to dodge. She touched the still-aching spot, her fingers faintly feeling the pulse.
“I said, I still have to go to the company.”
Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her tone was full of anger. The person in front of her seemed to be infuriated.
Qiu Wan looked at the two obvious teeth marks and no longer restrained her smile. She lay back down and said, “Sorry, I forgot.”
She was initially considerate enough not to leave ostentatious marks, but now, sorry, she had a change of heart.
Mu Qingchen took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She had encountered plenty of difficult people in the business world; there was no need to get angry over such a small thing. No need.
But this woman was clearly deliberate. She intentionally bit her in such an obvious spot, and so hard! How could she not be angry?
“I’m going to the company.” Looking at Qiu Wan’s smug smile, Mu Qingchen found the anger even harder to endure. She decided to get out of sight, and rushed out the door, running right into Yu Baishu who was arriving with breakfast.
“President… good… good morning, breakfast.”
“Take it up to that woman, then return to the company immediately.” Mu Qingchen’s face was cold, and her tone was even sharper than usual.
“Yes, President…” Yu Baishu looked at the clearly fuming person, hesitant to speak. A President like this was truly a rare sight. That Miss Qiu was indeed not an ordinary person.
Mu Qingchen paused, her expression becoming even colder, and her speech faster: “Talk about it when we get back to the company if you have something to say.”
“No… nothing.” This can’t be blamed on me. You said to go back to the company first, Yu Baishu swallowed the words she was about to say. As she went upstairs, her mind was still on the teeth marks on Mu Qingchen’s neck.
How angry was the President to forget to use makeup to cover it up? However, Miss Qiu is too fierce. Could the President be the one on the bottom?
