The Scandalous Actress Needs to Strive GL - Chapter 29

Time spent with the person you like is always fleeting, especially in bed.

During dinner, Mu Qingchen looked at the person across from her, whose posture was elegant, and she was momentarily lost in thought. She had watched some of Qiu Wan’s film and television clips privately and always felt a sense of unfamiliarity with the person on screen.

Now, facing Qiu Wan, that feeling became even stronger. How should she put it? The Qiu Wan on screen was also beautiful, but her beauty was a bit flamboyant, as if she deliberately amplified her good looks, like a valuable vase to be admired from afar but not touched.

But that kind of beauty was enchanting. The private Qiu Wan she had encountered, however, was beautiful and reserved, like a narcissus silently blooming, with a touch of quiet and mysterious feeling, which made her even more captivating.

Thinking about returning to the company tomorrow, Mu Qingchen unconsciously frowned. The food on the table suddenly didn’t taste as good. This woman was truly difficult to choose from.

“Finished eating? Shall we go straight back to the hotel?”

“Huh? Aren’t you tired?”

Seeing CEO Mu put down her chopsticks, Qiu Wan was also almost finished. She subconsciously nodded, but the next second, seeing Mu Qingchen’s meaningful look and the remark that made one think, she awkwardly looked out the window.

“I didn’t mean it that way. How about we go for a walk?”

Mu Qingchen saw the rare sign of shyness in the person and a smile flashed in her eyes: “Okay.”

The winter in B City was still very cold. Although both of them were wearing thick down jackets, the moment they stepped out of the restaurant, they immediately felt the chill.

Qiu Wan put on her hat and mask, and then looked at the makeup free Mu Qingchen, pulling up her hat and putting it on properly: “Even though you’re not in the entertainment industry, you should still be careful with your overly striking identity and stunning face, otherwise, if you’re recognized, tomorrow’s headline will become ‘Mu Group’s Head meets with a certain vase actress late at night.'”

“I won’t be recognized.” Mu Qingchen stood obediently, letting Qiu Wan adjust her hat, and even kindly helped her smooth the hem of her jacket. Although the hem wasn’t actually wrinkled, it still made her feel a pleasant joy because of it.

Qiu Wan shook her head in disagreement: “Why? Do you look down on the citizens of B City? Although this is not X City, CEO Mu’s reputation is considerable. Furthermore, everyone has a mobile phone now, and you’ve been on a live variety show, so it’s still very easy to be recognized.”

What’s more, CEO Mu was naturally good-looking, coupled with her cold and unapproachable aura when she walked; from the private room to the restaurant door, she had been turned around and looked at several times.

Qiu Wan didn’t mind their relationship being exposed if it could be called a relationship. If that happened, those people with ulterior motives would have to think twice about whether they could afford to provoke her, and she wouldn’t have to be insincere to everyone everywhere.

Mu Qingchen didn’t think that much. She stared fixedly at Qiu Wan, who only revealed a pair of eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of her brow: “I mean, you won’t be recognized.”

Hearing this at this moment, Qiu Wan suddenly felt a little hurt. So, to CEO Mu, it was okay as long as it wasn’t discovered that it was her?

She lowered her head, lightly biting her lip under the mask, and walked forward silently, her mood visibly dropping.

Seeing that the person behind her wasting for some reason and didn’t immediately follow, Qiu Wan took a deep breath, tried hard to adjust her feeling of disappointment, and then cheered up and said, “Where do you want to go?”

She had to know her place; she was only a bed partner who had signed an agreement. Even if her intentions were not just for that, she didn’t have the confidence to ask CEO Mu to do anything at this moment. As long as Mu Qingchen didn’t want it, their contractual relationship could never be known.

Mu Qingchen didn’t speak. She quickly caught up and took Qiu Wan’s hand. Her lips moved, wanting to ask, Are you unhappy? Why did you suddenly become unhappy? But now, looking at the person who seemed not unhappy, she was unsure about her previous feeling.

So, was it just her delusion? But looking at the silent person with her head lowered, she felt that her feeling was not wrong.

Mu Qingchen, who was inexperienced in matters of the heart, still looked calm on the surface, but she was actually at a loss. At this time, she had an urge to take out her phone and search for “how to comfort a sad girlfriend.”

The two of them walked hand in hand for a while without speaking. Mu Qingchen hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking, “Want to go see a movie?”

Qiu Wan turned her head to look at the person whose expression hadn’t changed much, and she sighed slightly in her heart. Why should I be unhappy? Besides getting angry at myself, it’s meaningless. “It’s already very late. If we wait for the movie to end, we might not even be able to get a taxi. How about we go back to the hotel and find a movie to watch?”

Watching TV together on the bed seemed nice too. They could hug this wooden log and lean against each other. The thought of that scene was somewhat appealing.

Mu Qingchen had no objection, and they went straight back to the hotel. Half an hour later, Qiu Wan looked at CEO Mu, who was constantly dozing off like a pecking chick, and couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed.

Did this person not sleep last night? She just had to ruin such a cozy atmosphere.

Mu Qingchen’s head dipped heavily, and then she quickly sat up straight, forcing herself to look at the TV screen. Three minutes later, she began her cycle of fighting sleepiness again.

Speaking of which, she had hardly slept all night. An early flight was one reason, but a too-complicated and expectant mood was also a reason. The key was that after the two of them met, they had an intense physical workout all afternoon.

So, after dinner and returning to the warm room, the sleepiness slowly crept in.

Even though she was very, very sleepy, Mu Qingchen still remembered that she had to watch TV with Qiu Wan. So, she almost used sheer willpower to repeatedly fight against the drowsiness, persisting in this state of waking up and falling asleep intermittently.

Each time, she would also deliberately squeeze Qiu Wan’s hand hard to show that she was still watching and not dozing off.

Qiu Wan, beside her: “…”

She sighed inwardly, picked up the remote control, and turned off the TV. Then she carefully helped Mu Qingchen lie down, supporting her head and shoulder.

When CEO Mu tried hard to open her eyes again, she told her, “The movie is over. Let’s rest.”

Mu Qingchen, who had forced herself to be awake for three seconds, slightly curled her lips, genuinely feeling happy for a moment, and then only had time to utter an ‘Mm’ before completely giving up the fight against sleepiness and falling into a deep slumber.

Qiu Wan gazed at the sleeping Mu Qingchen, reaching out to trace her eyebrows over and over again. CEO Mu’s facial features were relatively delicate, which should have created a gentle beauty, but because of her thick eyebrows, she gained a touch of heroism. Since she always had a cold face with little expression, it was easy to overlook that her face was also soft and gentle when she smiled.
