Transmigrated as the Top-Tier Alpha's Secretly Married Ex-Wife - Chapter 15

Chapter 15

A-Huai arrived after receiving the notification.

Mo Xian told her not to say much. When she came to pick up Mo Xian, she noticed Mo Xian was holding an insulated bag. A-Huai was stunned. “What is this?”

Mo Xian lightly weighed the bag. “Tuantuan braised chicken drumsticks for me.”

A-Huai: “?”

Mo Xian didn’t let Su Tuantuan walk her out, only instructing A-Huai to take the elevator up to meet her. A-Huai felt her behavior was too unusual. Once in the car, she finally couldn’t help but ask, “Mo Xian, did you go there specifically to see her?”

A-Huai was driving but couldn’t understand. “What is so great about Su Tuantuan? She has no ability, no emotional intelligence, no IQ. If you compare her to anyone else, even Qiao Yanran, she’d be instantly crushed.”

Hearing no response, A-Huai glanced over and saw Mo Xian with a cold face, looking out the window, completely disregarding her words.

A-Huai realized her tone had been a little harsh and softened it. “I actually support you dating freely and finding a girl who genuinely loves you, and whom you genuinely love. But why does it have to be Su Tuantuan—”

She was perplexed. “You never marked her back then. She shamelessly threatened you, saying that if you walked out of that room, she would tell all the media that you had slept together. She even took photos and deleted them in front of you. How can you trust her—”

A-Huai suddenly slammed the brakes because Mo Xian rolled down the window. The night wind rushed in, blowing her hair into a bird’s nest.

There was no one on this stretch of road. A-Huai spoke earnestly, “Mo Xian, are you even listening to me? You can’t mistake temporary curiosity for love and fall for her attempt at playing hard-to-get. There are so many Omegas in this world, I wouldn’t even object if you found a male Omega—”

“Why.”

Mo Xian lowered her eyelids, looking at the insulated bag in her lap.

Inside was a container of chicken drumsticks that Su Tuantuan had just made.

Her hair was messy, and even her voice was difficult to hear. A-Huai rolled the car window up, hearing Mo Xian’s somewhat frustrated voice. “I don’t think she’s that bad.”

She picked at the lid of the food container and took a deep breath. “She threatened me. She might be scheming, but she never truly hurt me.”

If latching onto her fame a few times counted as harm.

“I’m not saying she’s the one. I just want to understand her better. I don’t know why, but I can’t stop thinking about her. This thought started the moment she divorced me.”

Mo Xian lifted her face, which looked fragile and pale. “I can’t distinguish whether it’s habit or love. Two little people are fighting in my mind. One tells me, ‘Get closer to her. It’s okay to rely on her, even if you like her.'”

She took a deep breath. “The other voice is mocking me, ridiculing me. It says, ‘How can you be so shameful, so pathetic? Have you forgotten what she did to you?'”

She closed her eyes, breathing heavily. “I tried to use work to burn off these messy thoughts, but the moment I stop working, I can’t sleep. My mind unconsciously drifts to her. I just want to see her, I just want to be near her. I…”

She turned her head, her eyes clouded with mist. “A-Huai, am I sick?”

A-Huai swore, pulling at her messy hair, going crazy. “Did Su Tuantuan put a hex on you?”

She pulled out her phone and searched her contacts. “The tour just ended; you can take a break. Put the new album preparation aside for now. I’ll take you to find a witch doctor, see if that place in Yunnan works. If not, we’ll go to a Taoist temple for an exorcism, and if that doesn’t work, we’ll go to the plateau and find a lama…”

Mo Xian: “…”

A-Huai turned to look at her, concerned and serious. “Think carefully. When you were alone with Su Tuantuan, or when you had contact, did she feed you any strange things? Or deliberately pat some powder on you?”

A-Huai scratched her head. “You filmed a show together, guest-starred, and acted in scenes. You said this symptom started after the divorce—”

She slapped her thigh, realizing. “No wonder she didn’t want me to enter the room that day! Was she setting up a magical array in there?! When you were in that room, didn’t you feel controlled? Didn’t anything feel wrong?”

Mo Xian: “…”

A-Huai chuckled awkwardly. “Forget it, we’ll talk about this later. I’ll take you back to rest first. You need to cultivate your mind, take care of yourself. I’ll book a massage for you when we get back.”

Mo Xian was too tired to argue with her.

Mo Xian watched the street lights. Before the car restarted, she said, “Go find out what really happened the night Su Tuantuan threatened me.”

Did Su Tuantuan actually drug her?

She remembered drinking a glass of wine at a dinner party, being groggily taken to a hotel room to rest, and waking up to see Su Tuantuan sitting by the bed.

Su Tuantuan threatened her with photos, demanding that she marry her.

If she didn’t marry her, the photos would be made public.

Mo Xian knew she had messed up, but she had very few memories of that night. Seeing the bruises on Su Tuantuan’s skin, she called her manager and agreed to Su Tuantuan’s demand.

But the marriage came with conditions.

She had said at the time, “Marry me, but don’t expect me to love you. Su Tuantuan, don’t waste your time on me.”

What did Su Tuantuan say back then?

She solemnly picked up the contract, kissed it, and then signed her name.

She said, “A-Xian, it doesn’t matter if you don’t love me, as long as I love you.”

Her smug, triumphant face made Mo Xian feel a deep sense of disgust.

She hated this woman!

From that day on, she never wanted to see her again!

Presumably, Su Tuantuan also knew she was unwelcome. After the marriage, she never brought up the photos or the events of that night again.

But when she needed a place to live, she asked Mo Xian.

When she needed acting resources, she asked Mo Xian for them.

When the Guang Xians scolded her, she cried to Mo Xian. Mo Xian got annoyed and instructed the company not to interfere with Su Tuantuan using her fame anymore.

That was the kind of woman she was.

Mo Xian had desperately wanted a divorce.

But now that she was actually divorced, she wanted to look back.

No wonder A-Huai reacted so strongly.

Mo Xian thought, anyone else would probably run away immediately.

But she just wanted to stop and look.

To see how much the changed Su Tuantuan would be…

The Road to Acting premiered. When Su Tuantuan got out of the company car, the comments streamed endlessly.

: “Su Tuantuan is here too? Oh my god, is her cringeworthy acting here for comedy?”

: “Today’s audition is a gathering of noobs.”

For the audition, Su Tuantuan was dressed in simple casual wear, not even a dress. When she took off her sunglasses, she nodded at the camera and walked into the hall with her head held high.

Perhaps because of her powerful aura, that brief glance immediately made the comments section active again.

: “Sister is so cool! I’m a fan of her face! The little fox looks so imposing!”

: “From now on, all actors should be cast according to this standard! Tuantuan’s looks are absolutely amazing!”

Guang Xian: “Please no, I’m annoyed just seeing her. I was happy to watch a show, goodbye everyone!”

: “I don’t know why the production team invited such a tasteless person. Are they trying to ruin their show’s reputation?”

Amidst a pile of sarcasm and cold remarks, Su Tuantuan entered the waiting room.

Every arriving actor would be interviewed backstage. Out of thirty actors, Su Tuantuan was the twenty-seventh to perform. Her sequence was very late, and the selection of themes would be limited.

More importantly, the themed draw only allowed for two minutes of preparation time. Once an actor entered the performance hall, the two-minute countdown began, and regardless of whether the actor was ready, they had to perform.

This was why the show was called The Actor’s Furnace.

In a public and transparent environment, cheating was extremely difficult. Netizens supervised in real-time, which tested an actor’s skills the most and provided the best training.

The host in the interview room smiled and asked Su Tuantuan, “What made you decide to participate in this show this time? Is it because your acting is too poor?”

Su Tuantuan sat very straight, but her eyes were somewhat lazy. Hearing the host’s words, she raised an eyebrow as if hearing a joke, but she didn’t deny it. “Perhaps. I’m here to have some fun.”

: “Is this sister too arrogant? With acting that terrible, why isn’t she here to seriously study?”

: “I beg her to be humble. What kind of actor only knows how to chase fame all the time?”

The host hadn’t expected Su Tuantuan to be so casual. She asked again, “The competition rules have been upgraded this time, and the judges are stricter. Do you feel any pressure? Your performance order is the fourth to last. Do you think the production team arranged the order according to acting skill?”

Su Tuantuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. She said lightly, “Being fourth to last isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”

She pondered. “It at least means I have a lot of room for improvement.”

: “This sister’s skin is really thick…”

: “Hahahaha, I finally have an excuse to comfort my parents for being last!”

The comments were flying. The host liked Su Tuantuan’s witty demeanor. Compared to the conventional answers of most contestants, she was quite unique.

Leaving the interview room, Su Tuantuan went to wait. She didn’t actively interact with the other actors, sitting there and watching the others who went in before her.

Three people had already performed.

The first three were fine; all four judges gave them passing marks. The fourth person drew the theme of a girl’s moment of breakdown after a breakup. Su Tuantuan watched the actress’s facial features contort. She opened her mouth wide and her eyes twitched, but she couldn’t squeeze out a single tear.

Then the actress pointed to her chest and yelled, “How are you going to pay back what you owe me!!!”

Su Tuantuan gasped.

It was a perfect replication of the original owner’s terrible acting.

Her toes involuntarily curled up, nearly ripping the sole of her shoe.

Even so, two of the judges gave her a pass.

This is allowed?

Su Tuantuan realized what was happening. What the hell, are they playing games?

Netizens also mocked the performance she just saw.

: “Isn’t that the clip that made Su Tuantuan ‘famous’? I can’t tell if she likes Su Tuantuan or hates her.”

: “Su Tuantuan watched and wanted to hit someone, her teeth are probably ground to dust, hahaha.”
