The Scandalous Actress Needs to Strive GL - Chapter 32

“It’s been a while, how did you suddenly become enlightened? Did you secretly go for further study?” Qiu Wan silently complained in her heart, somehow feeling that this person seemed to have suddenly become more proactive.

Could she be falling for me?

Mu Qingchen’s eyes flickered: “Then let’s go eat breakfast first. Speaking of which, I still don’t know what you like to eat.”

Qiu Wan blinked, smiling as she replied, “I’m not picky. Let’s go.” Sure enough, something is up. She’s even starting to care about what I like to eat.

After breakfast, Mu Qingchen went to the study to handle work, while Qiu Wan was in the living room pondering the script for the upcoming modern drama. The daughter’s role was very promising; although she was the villain, she dared to love and hate. If played well, it should be very popular.

Just as she was thinking, Jin Wen called.

“Qiu Wan, I have a variety show here that mainly invites the three regular guests from your live-stream reality show. Do you want to participate?”

Jin Wen was inclined to accept. At that time, she could give the host a heads-up and mention Qiu Wan’s upcoming modern drama. The director would surely be happy about it.

Qiu Wan also thought of this. After a brief consideration, she agreed: “Take it. Firstly, it can be pre-promotion. Secondly, it can leave a good impression on both directors.”

Although the live-stream reality show had finished filming, who would refuse to generate more buzz? The director was likely hoping for all the regular guests to appear. And for this upcoming drama, the actors were actively promoting it even before filming began, which the director would naturally welcome.

Mu Qingchen finished her company work and walked out of the study. She saw Qiu Wan in this exact scenario; it was the first time she had seen Qiu Wan discussing work.

The image was different from her usual impression her expression was serious and focused.

It was completely different from the video clips she had secretly searched for. Which side of this woman is the real one?

“I have a day off tomorrow. Do you have time?”

Qiu Wan had just hung up the phone when she heard Mu Qingchen’s words. She turned around and smiled gently, “Are you asking me out?”

Is she really enlightened now? Or is she really enlightened now?

Mu Qingchen uncomfortably tugged at her collar, then looked out the window, her voice lacking confidence: “Aren’t we a contract couple? When neither of us has anything to do, shouldn’t going out together be a matter of course?”

She watched the window, slowly regulating her breathing. For some reason, her heart was pounding like thunder. This was the first time in over twenty years that she was so nervous that she couldn’t find a rhythm for her breathing.

They are a contract couple. Going out to watch a movie and have dinner together is completely normal, isn’t it?

Qiu Wan put away her teasing thoughts, walked over, and wrapped her arms around Mu Qingchen’s waist. She whispered in her ear, “I am a very conscientious person when it comes to contracts. Accompanying you is a matter of course, but I have work tomorrow. Is the great CEO Mu willing to wait a few days for me?”

“What work?” Is it more important than accompanying me? Mu Qingchen pursed her lips. How come she didn’t know Qiu Wan had taken on more work? Wasn’t the TV series only starting next month?

“My agent, Jin, arranged a show for me. I’m going for a rehearsal tomorrow, and after the recording the day after, I can take a good rest.” Qiu Wan smiled, suddenly finding CEO Mu a little adorable. So, all that previous aloofness was an act? This woman is not cold at all in private; instead, she’s quite soft.

What should I do? I feel even more drawn to her.

Mu Qingchen remained silent. That woman, Jin Wen, was so inconsiderate. Qiu Wan had just returned from filming. Why did she take on more work? More importantly, she didn’t inform her in advance about taking the job. How unobservant.

Jin Wen, who was thousands of miles away and suddenly became a target, You are busy with countless matters every day. When have you ever cared about such trivial things?

With the date ruined, Mu Qingchen sent another message to Assistant Yu: “No need to cancel the work schedule for tomorrow. Also, inform Jin Wen that all of Qiu Wan’s future work itineraries must be reported to me in advance.”

“Understood, CEO.”

After replying to Mu Qingchen’s message, Yu Baishu looked up at Jin Wen, who was only focused on looking at the beautiful woman: “Did you arrange work for Qiu Wan?”

“Yeah, I took on a variety talk show. Why?” Jin Wen withdrew her gaze, answered casually, and poured herself another glass of wine.

“CEO Mu said that regarding Qiu Wan’s future work itinerary, you have to report it to her in advance.” Yu Baishu blinked. This older sister, who used to look like an expert in relationships, how did she become so clueless now?

Jin Wen drank a gulp of wine, then sent a list of the cast members to Yu Baishu: “Sigh, you mortals who are persistently lost in love, when will you reach my level of enlightenment?”

Yu Baishu held up her phone, looking speechless: “Yes, esteemed master, could you first explain what this means? Should I forward it to CEO Mu?”

She rolled her eyes, thinking this level was indeed unattainable by others. If you could put away that look in your eyes for beautiful women, perhaps I could believe your nonsense.

Jin Wen put down her wine glass: “I called you stupid, but you still won’t admit it. Didn’t you see that troublesome Second Miss of the Zhou family is also on the list? Sister suggests you prepare your work schedule. Our great CEO Mu might also go to the rehearsal site.”

She didn’t know how Zhou Lanlan got the news. She wasn’t originally on the list, but after Qiu Wan was added, this arrogant Second Miss Zhou also managed to squeeze onto the guest list.

At that time, she would inevitably target Qiu Wan. However, as a qualified agent, she had already secured a more powerful external helper. I hope the great CEO Mu won’t let her down.

Yu Baishu thought for a moment and understood. This Zhou Lanlan was going there to cause trouble for Qiu Wan. Given the extent of their CEO Mu’s current concern for Qiu Wan, there was a high probability that she would personally go to protect her beloved.

She forwarded the message to Mu Qingchen and couldn’t help but give Jin Wen a thumbs-up: “You truly are a sage. I have learned a lot, Big Sister.”

Two minutes later, her phone vibrated. As expected, she received Mu Qingchen’s reply: “Adjust the work schedule for tomorrow. Communicate with the program team and say that as a guest, our Mu Group is also willing to fully cooperate with the promotion.”

Yu Baishu: “Understood, CEO.”

The next day, when Qiu Wan left, she saw the great CEO Mu following closely behind her. She was silent for a moment: “I’m going to the rehearsal. Are you going to watch?”

Mu Qingchen lightly coughed, looking straight ahead: “Oh, I forgot to tell you. The program team also invited me. We’re going together.”

Qiu Wan: She highly doubted the truth of that statement. Mu Qingchen was not on the preliminary guest list for the show.

When she arrived at the set and saw an old acquaintance, she vaguely understood. The Second Miss of the Zhou family wasn’t on the previous list either. These two were indeed good ‘sisters they both loved to surprise people with their actions.

“Qingchen, why are you here too? Did you come because of me?” Zhou Lanlan rushed up to Mu Qingchen as soon as she saw her, her eyes full of anticipation.

Mu Qingchen nodded noncommittally. In a way, yes, because I was worried you’d make things difficult for Qiu Wan.
