The Scandalous Actress Needs to Strive GL - Chapter 31

That evening, Yu Baishu looked at the message on her phone, speechless: “Come pick me up at the airport at 8 AM tomorrow.”

She didn’t need to think twice about what it was for Qiu Wan was definitely coming back. She covered her face, having to admit a truth: being in love truly lowers one’s IQ.

Now, the entire internet knew that the ‘Let’s Go See’ crew was returning to Xicheng tomorrow. Not to mention the big shots like Li He and Lai Su who already had fan bases, Qiu Wan herself had also gained countless fans this time. If she just appeared at the airport like that, wouldn’t the paparazzi snap it all up?

Could it be that the CEO’s intention was to expose their relationship?

Yu Baishu couldn’t guess and, to prevent herself from misunderstanding and causing trouble, she cautiously asked: CEO, do you need to avoid the media?

The Great CEO Mu: Avoid them.

So, Yu Baishu contacted Jin Wen and the company’s airport pickup contact, and only after confirming the time and location did she breathe a sigh of relief.

The next morning, Yu Baishu looked at Mu Qingchen, who was slightly different from usual. She carefully compared them in her mind. Hmm, the suit had been replaced with a casual style, making the whole person look much gentler than usual. As for the rest, she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. Although the difference seemed small, the overall feeling was very different from her usual self.

“Focus on driving.” Mu Qingchen slightly frowned and coldly reminded Yu Baishu, who occasionally turned her head to look at her. She uncomfortably tugged at her collar. Was she dressed too formally?

An hour later, looking at the completely unfamiliar intersection, Mu Qingchen’s expression became much more serious: “We’re going to the airport. Where have you brought me?”

If they were delayed and missed the person, her entire month’s bonus would be deducted.

“Ah, CEO, didn’t you say to avoid the media? I’ve already spoken to Sister Jin. The company’s car for picking up Miss Qiu will arrive soon. We just need to pick her up here,” Yu Baishu patiently explained, as the Mu CEO in her impression did not have such experiences.

Just like the last time she went to visit the set alone, she was almost completely photographed.

Mu Qingchen nodded, feeling even more uneasy in her heart. She didn’t know why she was a little restless. The collar of her shirt seemed a bit tight. Would undoing one button not be enough? Would undoing two buttons be more comfortable? Also, she didn’t know if the hair by her ears was messy. She reached up and rubbed her ear, her earlobes inexplicably hot. Just thinking about picking up Qiu Wan soon made her feel a little parched.

The car arrived quickly. Qiu Wan got out of the company car and sat directly in the back seat, next to Mu Qingchen: “CEO Mu, long time no see.”

“En.” Mu Qingchen replied with a cold face, her expression visibly darkening. Calling her CEO Mu? Such an aloof title. Was she saying it for others to hear? But in the car, besides the two of them, there was only Yu Baishu.

Or had this woman’s attitude changed again? Did she not like her anymore? Or had she never liked her in the first place, and it was just a pretense?

Qiu Wan looked at the cold faced Great CEO Mu and thought to herself, was she hallucinating yesterday? The voice was clearly so expectant, so why had she turned into a block of ice when they met?

She glanced at Yu Baishu in the driver’s seat, then seemingly casually leaned to the right, their legs touching: “Qingchen, did you eat breakfast?”

Qiu Wan carefully watched Mu Qingchen’s reaction as she spoke, and when she saw the usually serious Great CEO Mu freeze and her ears instantly turn red, she couldn’t help but smile internally. So, she wasn’t completely clueless about romance, she was just pretending to be indifferent.

“No.” Mu Qingchen quietly gripped her hands, feeling a pressure from Qiu Wan that made her nervous, slowed her breathing, but accelerated her heartbeat.

“Is that so? I didn’t have time to eat either. Let’s go back and have it together later, okay?”

Satisfied with what she saw, Qiu Wan leaned back slightly, pulling away from Mu Qingchen. They were outside, and Assistant Yu was present. If Assistant Yu wasn’t there, it might be possible even in the car.

Thinking this, she looked at Mu Qingchen again. The Great CEO Mu was currently looking out the window, and Qiu Wan found it amusing. Just as she was about to look away, her eyes fixed on the Great CEO Mu’s collar.

Unlike the impeccably dressed Mu Qingchen of her usual impression, two of the shirt’s buttons were unbuttoned, and the slightly open collar revealed a faint, hidden curve, along with her rarely seen fair skin, all of which tugged at Qiu Wan’s nerves.

She lowered her gaze, her eyes dark. It seemed breakfast would have to be postponed for a while. After all, she couldn’t let the Great CEO Mu’s carefully prepared gift go to waste.

When the car stopped and the two quietly got out of the elevator, Mu Qingchen’s heart was inexplicably held in a state of high tension, always feeling like she was expecting something.

After opening the apartment door, she turned around without realizing what she was doing: “You put your luggage… Mmm… Qiu… Wan.”

The familiar touch on her lips, the overly passionate intensity and breathing, made her freeze for a second. Then, she closed her eyes and earnestly responded. She seemed to know why she had been nervous the whole way and understood where her expectant feeling had come from.

“On the sofa?”

Qiu Wan paused, looking at Mu Qingchen, whose eyes had lost their clarity and whose body was about to lose its support. She used her teeth to unbutton her shirt, asking in a suggestive tone.

“Mmm… go to the bed.” Mu Qingchen tightly hugged Qiu Wan’s neck, her legs having lost the strength to stand alone due to sensitivity. She lowered her head, smelling the fresh scent in Qiu Wan’s hair, and a wave of shame rose in her heart. She was too weak; how did she lose her balance?

“Good.” Qiu Wan chuckled softly. The two walked into the bedroom, half-supporting, half-leaning on each other. Occasional, rhythmic moans drifted out from the slightly ajar door. The day had just begun, and it was still very early.

More than an hour later, Qiu Wan turned over and lay flat on the bed. She looked at Mu Qingchen, whose expression was still somewhat dazed, and chuckled: “I’m so hungry.”

Mu Qingchen’s breathing tightened. She moved her fingers, seemingly still having some strength, and instinctively got up, then leaned over, lowered her head, reached out her hand, completing the set of actions in a few seconds.

Qiu Wan turned to the side to avoid her, pushed her away, and raised an eyebrow: “What are you doing?”

Did this block of ice want more? It hadn’t been that long since they last saw each other. Was she that starved?

Mu Qingchen froze and instinctively defended herself: “Shouldn’t it be my turn to serve?”

Qiu Wan: “…”

“I’m genuinely hungry. The kind of hungry that needs breakfast, my Great CEO Mu. Don’t you think we should replenish some energy?”

Mu Qingchen, having misunderstood, averted her eyes and then defended herself: “I still have strength.”

Qiu Wan: Was this still the Mu Qingchen she knew?
