The Scandalous Actress Needs to Strive GL - Chapter 22

I’ve forgotten where I read it, but some words need to be considered in context, especially what a man says in bed don’t believe a single word.

Qiu Wan is a woman, so can a woman’s words in bed be believed? Mu Qingchen momentarily lost herself, but it was just for a second. She flipped over, reversing their top and bottom positions.

A faint dark shade rose in her eyes, exactly the fierce look Qiu Wan had earlier. Since she couldn’t figure it out, she wouldn’t think about it. If, if this woman seriously said it again in a different context, she would be willing to answer wholeheartedly.

Mu Qingchen leaned in, thinking this before losing control.

The warm sun of winter was exceptionally precious. When Qiu Wan woke up, her pillow was already empty. The disciplined CEO Mu must have gotten up early.

She yawned listlessly. Having been up so late last night, yet rising so early, CEO Mu was truly a boring person. However, last night, this person was a bit unusual unusually fierce, but even more captivating.

Just as she sat up, she felt a soreness in her waist. Qiu Wan quietly massaged it twice. This captivating side of Mu Qingchen was a first. Could it be that she was provoked by that word “like”? For the sake of future happiness, it seemed she needed to mention it more in bed.

However, remembering that she still hadn’t heard the answer she wanted last night, her eyes dimmed slightly. Just as she was musing over this, speaking of the devil, the devil arrived.

“Awake? Get up and wash, we’ll go to breakfast together.” Mu Qingchen brought in two kettles of hot water, then took the basin and cup out. Before long, she returned, holding a small basin of cold water in one hand and a cup in the other.

She didn’t speak, silently mixing the water until it was lukewarm, then looked with bright eyes at the person sitting on the bed.

Qiu Wan unexpectedly raised an eyebrow. She wanted to say that the production team had made preparations next door at the other house, where she could just turn on the water heater. But looking at Mu Qingchen like this, all she could do was smile softly and tenderly, unable to say anything else for a moment.

When filming began, Zhou Lanlan wore a mask and coughed from time to time, supposedly having caught a cold. The bullet screen comments were thus a little more merciful, as no one would hound a sick person. But what if this sick person wasn’t compliant?

For example, what everyone was currently doing was ice fishing.

Qiu Wan and Mu Qingchen, one prepared the bait and sorted the fishing rods, while the other quietly chipped the ice. Although they didn’t speak, they worked in a proper manner under the guidance of the old farmer. Lai Su also temporarily set aside his prejudice and silently helped out beside them.

Though the weather was cold and progress was slow, the atmosphere was harmonious. But there was always someone who wanted to shatter this peacefulness.

“Cough, cough, Qingchen.” Perhaps because she felt unwell, Zhou Lanlan looked pitiful. She deliberately coughed twice and called out weakly.

Mu Qingchen looked up at her, then continued her work, saying coldly, “Go rest if you’re not feeling well.”

“I can hold on. I just… I just wanted to watch you. You go on with your work, I’ll just watch.” Zhou Lanlan sniffled. Her coquettish words instantly changed the expressions of everyone present.

Lai Su’s reaction aside, as he was an outsider, Qiu Wan looked at CEO Mu’s face, which instantly turned icy, and then at the stunned production team. Clearly, no one had expected Miss Zhou Er to completely deviate from the script.

Meanwhile, on the bullet screen, the audience was already jumping with excitement.

Why did the production team invite her? Poor Li He, saddled with such a teammate.

Ugh, I’m going to throw up. That tone, that look. Did she and Mu Qingchen have a history?

Don’t go, upstairs commenter, look! Mu Qingchen looks like she’s about to throw up too.

Poor Li He, just like that, he lost a teammate.

The spoiled young lady who gives up after chipping the ice once. Who needs a teammate like that?

Please, production team, let us go, hurry up and get her off the show.

The similarly frantic production team quickly wrote a prompt and held it up high, signaling Zhou Lanlan to look at the sign: Miss Zhou, your teammate is Li He. He’s busy on his own. There are three people here, and this is LIVE! LIVE broadcast!

Mu Qingchen glanced at the anxious production team, then at Qiu Wan and Lai Su, who were busy working as if no one else was around, without even looking up. She hesitated for a moment, stood up, and reached out to touch Zhou Lanlan’s forehead.

Zhou Lanlan froze on the spot, instantly enveloped by ecstasy. She stared blankly at Mu Qingchen, unable to hear any other sound.

“Miss Zhou is burning up. You guys quickly take her to the hospital,” Mu Qingchen said, pulling her hand away immediately. She then looked solemnly at the production team, startling them. Then, under CEO Mu’s intimidating gaze, they quickly had two staff members help Zhou Lanlan away.

Zhou Lanlan, who reacted a beat later, didn’t want to cooperate. She struggled hard, but her strength was diminished due to her cold. Seeing that she couldn’t break free, she cried out, “Qingchen, I don’t have a fever, I’m not confused, I just came to see you…”

“She really is burning up and confused,” Mu Qingchen looked up, stating earnestly to the camera.

To avoid messing up the live broadcast, and having received a hint from Mu Qingchen, the production team dared not keep Zhou Lanlan in front of the camera. They immediately put her in her own minivan and rushed towards the city. No matter what, Miss Zhou Er could no longer participate in the show.

The farce came and went quickly, but Lai Su and Qiu Wan seemed unaffected, continuing to work with their heads down, never looking up. In fact, they were both stunned by Mu Qingchen’s serious nonsense and, after realizing what happened, almost burst out laughing. They could only keep their heads down, trying hard to stifle their laughter.

As a result, only Mu Qingchen remained as a guest. Li He thoughtfully walked over and spoke on behalf of the production team, “Now we can only form teams of two. I wonder if I have the honor of teaming up with CEO Mu?”

“I agree to teams of two, but I also want to be on CEO Mu’s team.” Seeing this, Lai Su immediately raised her hand. She definitely didn’t want to be in a group with that woman, Qiu Wan. Teaming up with Mu Qingchen was better she’s good-looking, doesn’t talk much, and most importantly, is quite capable with her hands. Unlike that spoiled Miss Zhou Lanlan, who’s useless at everything.

With the conversation reaching this point, Qiu Wan looked at the sought after CEO Mu and chuckled softly, “Since that’s the case, I’ll also try to win her over. I wonder if CEO Mu is interested in me?”

At her smile, the bullet screen instantly became lively again:

Ah! Qiu Wan is cheating, that smile is too soft.

This woman is trying to seduce our CEO Mu.

Ignorant woman. Mu Qingchen is obviously a forbidden-beauty type; she won’t choose her.

I take back my words. Mu Qingchen, you disappoint me too much. You are so superficial

Ah, CEO Mu chose her, she chose her! I won a pack of spicy sticks on this bet.

On site, the associate director also cooperatively said, “According to the rules, the non-celebrity guest has the priority to choose a teammate.”

As if given permission, Mu Qingchen slowly walked up to Qiu Wan, took her hand out of her cotton jacket pocket, and said clearly, “Qiu Wan, hello, I am Mu Qingchen.”

“Hello, my surname is Qiu, my given name is Wan, and my courtesy name is Jianyu.” Qiu Wan extended her hand. Their palms clasped tightly, and they smiled at each other, as if meeting for the first time, with curiosity and frankness in their eyes, but mostly an unspoken understanding and rapport.

In her dynasty, ‘Yu’ meant beautiful jade. Her father had said, “My Wan’er is graceful and brilliant, to see her is like encountering beautiful jade, so let’s name her Jianyu.” Jianyu was her zì (courtesy name).

This was the first time Qiu Wan had told anyone her zì since growing up. There was an old custom that a daughter’s zì should not be easily revealed to outsiders. If it was told, it should be to one’s beloved.

In the biting cold of winter with withered grass and trees, the two people on screen seemed to be frozen in place. Everything around them became a backdrop, leaving only the two beautiful and mutually complementary women.

“Ahem, a-ha” Lai Su cleared her throat unnaturally. Seeing that they hadn’t seemed to notice and that the people around her were staring blankly, she made a louder nasal sound. Was it necessary? They were just good-looking, and she wasn’t bad either.

After silently complaining, she saw them finally let go of each other’s hands. She glanced at the still-stunned Li He and instantly became more unhappy. After all that fuss, she still couldn’t team up with Mu Qingchen. But even teaming up with Qiu Wan would be better than the current situation.

Lai Su was momentarily taken aback by her own thought. She couldn’t help but reflect Why did I think this? Why did I feel that woman Qiu Wan was easier to get along with than Li He? Had she also been blinded by beauty?

Oh my god, it’s not a still image!

Ah, these two are locked. Locked forever.

QingQiu CP? QiuMu CP? I’ve decided to ship them.

Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable? Them being together is a loss for male compatriots. No, you are one person. You are the only person. You will forever be one person.

Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter upstairs! Yes, he is one person, forever alone.

Jin Wen, who was also following the live broadcast, showed a delighted “auntie smile” upon seeing this scene. Her artist was truly excellent. Even CEO Mu was stunned, right? Good, this didn’t let down her morning of slacking off with her phone.

In another office, Yu Baishu looked at her CEO on the screen, holding someone’s hand and seemingly reluctant to let go, and kept frantically tapping the screen with exasperation, but she couldn’t tap the clasped hands apart.

She couldn’t help but cover her face and sigh deeply. Her CEO Mu was finished now, completely taken in, and it was the kind where she willingly surrendered and there was no cure.

That evening.

#Vice President of Zhou Entertainment Ejected from Show

#QingQiu CP or QiuMu CP

Two of the top ten trending searches were occupied. At the Zhou family residence, Zhou Yang looked at the distraught Zhou Lanlan and angrily scolded her, “Look at your foolish state. Is it worth it for a woman? There are plenty of beautiful women in the world. Forget about Mu Qingchen she’s your future sister-in-law. Being ejected like this is not only disgraceful but also brings a lot of negative impact to the company. Go home and focus on recovering.”

After saying this, he called his assistant, “Make arrangements. Say that I’m taking Lanlan’s place in the filming. The Zhou corporation will not withdraw its investment. Yes, make sure to avoid Mu Qingchen. It’s not convenient to operate right now. After she finishes these two episodes, confirm me as the next guest. Yes, the main goal is to restore the Zhou corporation’s image.”

Zhou Lanlan’s face twisted slightly. Her throat moved, and looking at her confident older brother, the words she wanted to fight for ultimately remained unsaid.
