Transmigrated as the Top-Tier Alpha's Secretly Married Ex-Wife - Chapter 4

Chapter 4

“There must be a trick in this, right?”

A Huai was extremely suspicious of Su Tuantuan. After all, this person had recently conned a resource out of her—a resource that only became available after she mortgaged Mo Xian for one season of the show.

Su Tuantuan was willing to just get divorced like this?

A Huai wouldn’t believe it even if she were killed by Mo Xian.

Mo Xian was also silent.

“If she’s just using this opportunity to play hard to get, you absolutely must not fall for it. You’re easily soft-hearted. If she succeeds, she’ll control you forever, and no one can save you.”

A Huai patted her shoulder. “You’ve been working hard lately. There’s a lot to prepare for the concert. Should I put a pause on the variety show?”

After all, given Mo Xian’s popularity and standing in the industry, appearing even once as a guest was already a huge favor to the production team.

Mo Xian frowned, remembering that Su Tuantuan had signed for the entire duration.

It was probably better if she didn’t go. Less entanglement.

“Yes, as you wish.”

She rubbed her temples and didn’t object to A Huai’s arrangements.

However, neither of them expected the divorce to proceed with surprising smoothness.

The next day, Mo Xian and Su Tuantuan each received their divorce certificates. Su Tuantuan shed two tears in front of Mo Xian, looking so delicate and pitiful that even A Huai felt a twinge of sympathy.

Mo Xian knew she was in the wrong. “Shall I drive you back?”

A Huai was signaling wildly to Mo Xian the whole time, her eyes practically twitching, afraid she would go soft. Hearing Mo Xian’s words, A Huai nearly exploded with anger.

They’re divorced! Why would you drive her anywhere?!

Su Tuantuan was hesitant. “Wouldn’t that be inappropriate?”

A Huai readily agreed. “That would indeed be inappropriate. Xian-shén has quite a lot to do, and it’s not convenient to drive you right now—”

Su Tuantuan wiped the corners of her reddened eyes, her fox-like eyes still moist. “Yes, it wouldn’t be good if we were photographed. Since we’re divorced, I absolutely shouldn’t affect A Xian’s career.”

She bit her lip, looking utterly miserable and pathetic. “I’ll call my assistant. The company will send a car for me soon. I’ll just wait…”

A Huai’s face creased into a smile, just about to praise her for being sensible, when she heard Mo Xian say, “Then you can take my car.”

A Huai’s smile froze.

She looked over. Mo Xian’s expression was calm, but her eyes were incredibly sincere.

“My car, newly bought. I’m giving it to you. You’ll have a personal vehicle, and things will be more convenient for you in the future.”

She didn’t even ask A Huai if she was free. “Handle the title transfer for her sometime.”

A Huai: “?”

Seriously, big sister, are you trying to achieve Buddhahood by universally liberating all beings!?

An entire apartment and a million in compensation weren’t enough, and now you’re giving her a car too!?

That car was newly bought, worth 1.7 million!

In this novel’s world, entertainers are high-income earners, but nowhere near the exaggerated figures in Su Tuantuan’s real world.

In the real world, Su Tuantuan could easily earn tens of millions from a single drama. At her peak, she could earn billions in a year.

But in this world, Mo Xian’s annual income was only between a few million and ten million.

And Mo Xian was a top star.

Ordinary entertainers, like the original Su Tuantuan, couldn’t secure many jobs annually, and their income was based on a baseline salary plus a share of the profits.

The original owner definitely couldn’t afford a car.

She earned an average of just over 30,000 per month. In lean times, it was only the 10,000 baseline salary. She also had to cooperate with the company for various promotional activities, and the work intensity was no less than working in an electronics factory.

After their secret marriage, her invitations increased by exploiting Mo Xian’s popularity. Only in the last six months did her monthly income barely exceed 50,000.

Su Tuantuan was disheartened after seeing the original owner’s bank passbook and checking the contract. She thought the company had swindled the original owner, but she learned that this was simply the rule of this world.

However, she was comforted that, in this world, one could earn a living if they had talent.

Unlike her reality, where capital was always keen on promoting fresh faces and traffic, filming dramas and movies solely for hot topics and profit.

In this world, film production was strictly classified, so the scale was much broader than in the real world, and actors’ pay was determined by their performance and popularity.

Young actors without skills could only start as extras and slowly hone their craft.

If a film or TV show was overwhelmingly criticized by the audience, the actors were expected to lead the apology to the audience.

That’s why Mo Xian primarily earned money by releasing albums and holding concerts. She rarely participated in variety shows.

A top star who wanted to cross over into acting as a double-threat artist also had to undergo rigorous training.

In any case, Mo Xian was not as rich as Su Tuantuan thought.

Su Tuantuan also hadn’t expected Mo Xian to give her a car.

Although she really did want a shiny mode of transport.

“This… I’ve already accepted so much from you. Accepting a car, too, feels so wrong…”

A Huai’s smile started to reappear somewhat.

Su Tuantuan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, feigning shyness. “But I know, A Xian has a kind heart. She pities me for not having a car, which makes everything inconvenient. Having to wait for the company to allocate a car for errands makes daily life quite difficult.”

A Huai: “…”

Su Tuantuan spoke softly, twirling her index fingers. “Then I’ll thank A Xian.”

A Huai: “…………”

“En.”

Mo Xian handed her the car keys. “Here you go.”

A Huai closed her eyes and took a deep breath, nearly losing her balance.

She quickly pinched the philtrum below her nose.

A Huai was about to die of exasperation!

She maintained a completely dark expression as they left the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Mo Xian thought she had heatstroke because of the hot weather.

A Huai: “…Yes, I should go somewhere cool.”

Mo Xian didn’t catch her sarcasm, her phoenix-shaped eyes showing a hint of confusion.

A Huai bit her fist and looked out the window with tearful eyes.

She had worked her life for Mo Xian for ten years and hadn’t received a car.

Su Tuantuan got one just by playing the victim.

Mo Xian, who wouldn’t call you a big sucker!!!

Mo Xian didn’t participate in the last two episodes of Sunny Day, but the show’s popularity didn’t drop much. After all, besides Su Tuantuan, the other guests also enjoyed considerable popularity.

Su Tuantuan’s performance on the show wasn’t eye-catching, but it was certainly not repulsive.

Many onlookers initially thought she would cause trouble on the show, but surprisingly, Su Tuantuan was completely normal the whole time.

She cooperated during games and was active during chores.

This was different from the crazy troublemaker they had imagined.

After all, the former Su Tuantuan had only participated in minor, low-profile variety shows with barely any heat.

The original Su Tuantuan had acted in quite a few insignificant roles. The platform “Guang Xian” had previously mocked her for it, which netizens found understandable.

After all, the roles she played were all minor supporting roles.

If she used that acting skill to be a lead, she would be completely slammed!

Su Tuantuan’s reputation quietly began to shift, but a complete change through one variety show was impossible. After two episodes, Sister Zhou hadn’t received a single acting offer and was so agitated she was close to coming over and yelling.

It was only after the assistant, Xiao Yu, suggested that Su Tuantuan needed rest and that things would definitely improve with time that Sister Zhou eased up a bit.

To meet more people in the industry, Su Tuantuan was also keen to maintain good relationships with the Sunny Day guests.

She had no choice; she needed to make a living.

So, when Sun Qiuqiu mentioned a group activity, Su Tuantuan readily agreed without hesitation.

At 7 PM, Sun Qiuqiu came to pick up Su Tuantuan. Su Tuantuan directly gave her the name of the residential complex. Sun Qiuqiu drove a second-hand BMW to find her. When the car stopped in front of Su Tuantuan, Su Tuantuan couldn’t believe her eyes.

A perfectly fine white BMW had been haphazardly spray-painted by Sun Qiuqiu.

Su Tuantuan immediately spotted the border of red and yellow, bolded “Xian-shén” written on it.

Su Tuantuan: “…”

Is this because I’m in a novel world?

The last time she was this embarrassingly pretentious was in the fifth grade of elementary school.

At that time, she filled her textbooks with phrases like “Unique and Peerless” and “Sister is the Beautiful City.”

Which earned her a double beating from her parents.

At that time, she didn’t understand why her parents beat her.

Now she understood.

“What are you waiting for? Get in the car! Ding Zhao and the others are already there!”

Sun Qiuqiu yanked down her mask and yelled. Su Tuantuan snapped back, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat. “What do group activities usually involve?”

She didn’t know the rules here. In her world, these small gatherings were just about eating and drinking.

Sun Qiuqiu couldn’t hide her excitement. “Guess what? You’ll definitely love it! Buckle up, quickly!”

Su Tuantuan responded with an “Oh” and obediently fastened her seatbelt. Her gaze was drawn to the bobblehead on the dashboard.

The bobblehead was a chibi version of a person with silver hair, smooth, well-defined features, slightly upward-tilted phoenix eyes, wearing a purple dance costume with silver tassels hanging from the waist.

“Isn’t it cute? This is Xian-shén’s stage outfit from last month. I had someone make a chibi version and even distributed two hundred to the ‘Guang Xians’. I designed this myself. Isn’t it incredibly lifelike?”

Sun Qiuqiu couldn’t stop talking once she mentioned Mo Xian.

Su Tuantuan saw the doll was smiling, a slightly goofy smile. Its head wobbled with the spring, both cute and a little comical.

She burst out laughing.

“Yes, it’s quite lifelike.”

After all, she had accepted a car worth over a million from the person. She couldn’t speak ill of her behind her back.

Only upon reaching the destination did Su Tuantuan realize what Sun Qiuqiu meant by the activity.

The guests were wearing matching cultural shirts. The white T-shirts read “A Thousand Stars are not as Good as Xian-shén” on the front, and the back featured a large chibi head of Mo Xian.

Ding Zhao saw her and ran over. “Sister, you finally made it! Put on a sticker and quickly change your clothes! The concert is about to start!”

Su Tuantuan was momentarily stunned and turned to look at Sun Qiuqiu.

Sun Qiuqiu was picking out a light stick. Hearing Ding Zhao’s words, she grabbed the clothes and pulled Su Tuantuan toward the parking lot. “The restroom will probably be packed. Let’s change in the car first. It was definitely the right choice to let them come and collect the support gear first!”

Su Tuantuan: “…”

So, the so-called group activity was to watch Mo Xian’s concert?

Ah, no, she absolutely did not want to…

Watching her ex-wife’s concert.

That was incredibly awkward!

“Hurry, hurry!”

Sun Qiuqiu didn’t give her a chance to refuse.

Su Tuantuan was disdainful. So what if she’s a singer! So what if she’s a singer who dances! Is there any need for this kind of frenzy?!

In her real world, she had seen countless young, beautiful celebrities. Which one of their stages wasn’t absolutely mind-blowing?!

What was so amazing about one Mo Xian?!

Half an hour later, as Su Tuantuan sat in the inner seating area, watching Mo Xian dance fiercely on stage, her breathing stopped.

She could only feel the pulsating drumbeats and the vibrating sound effects all around her.

The fans’ desperate shouts, with Sun Qiuqiu standing next to her, waving the light stick almost hitting her head.

She watched Mo Xian move. The white dance outfit had a fair amount of fabric, but it exposed her powerful lower abdomen. Her ab-lines appeared and disappeared with the dance moves. The sound of her slight panting, carried through the microphone, echoed in the venue.

Mo Xian on the screen curved her lips. Those slightly upward-tilted phoenix eyes lacked their usual coldness.

Su Tuantuan swallowed.

Faced with such a pristine Mo Xian, her mind, at this moment, was unfortunately filled with some less than pristine images.

No wonder.

No wonder they said attending Mo Xian’s concert was like watching Mo Xian publicly cast a spell.

Netizens claimed that Mo Xian wasn’t dancing; she was performing a ritual.

Otherwise, why did her fans essentially go crazy at the venue?

Su Tuantuan heard Sun Qiuqiu scream at the top of her lungs, “Ahhhh!!! Xian-shén! I love you!!!”

She closed her eyes weakly, pressing against her abnormally beating heart, and took a deep—

breath.
