Transmigrated as the Top-Tier Alpha's Secretly Married Ex-Wife - Chapter 48

Chapter 48

Qiao Yanran’s scenes were finished, but Shen Jun was still guarding the area. Shen Jun watched Qiao Yanran with Bai Xue on her left and Su Tuantuan on her right. The three had their arms linked, clearly sharing a good relationship, and were preparing to return to the hotel. As they passed Shen Jun, Su Tuantuan even greeted her.

“Lawyer Shen, still not leaving? We’re heading off. See you next time!”

Seeing them about to get into the car, Shen Jun immediately rushed forward. “Ranran, I… I need to talk to you!”

There was no one else in the car. Qiao Yanran leaned her head out the window to look at her. “Lawyer Shen, for fan club related matters, please contact my assistant or agent. For legal matters, contact my company. You shouldn’t have anything else to talk to me about, right?”

Shen Jun’s lips moved, but before she could answer, Qiao Yanran had already closed the car door. “Then we’re going back to the hotel. Goodbye!”

She didn’t spare her another glance.

The car drove away, leaving Shen Jun’s solitary figure behind. The three women in the back seat burst into laughter.

Bai Xue imitated Shen Jun’s stern face. “I’ve never seen Lawyer Shen so nervous. As soon as she heard about the kissing scene, her face was like a sour pickle.”

Su Tuantuan leaned against the seat, laughing and poking Qiao Yanran. “Are you really going to keep teasing her? If you scare her off, won’t you regret it?”

Qiao Yanran snorted coldly. “Regret? That’s her problem. If she has so little patience with me that she runs off after a small setback, it just proves I was blind, and I’ll find someone better in the future.”

She acted indifferent, but her eyes betrayed her.

“Oh, I wonder whose heart is aching. Maybe if she stands there for another night, someone will compromise?”

Bai Xue said tartly, “With Lawyer Shen’s background, if someone snatched her up, wouldn’t some people cry their eyes out?”

What she said was true.

While Shen Jun stood there, countless assistants and extras wanted to approach her all evening.

But Shen Jun’s aura was too cold. She looked at everyone with an expression that said, “Don’t touch me,” so no one dared to join the excitement.

Qiao Yanran didn’t care. “She was the one who rejected me first. I gave her a chance, and she didn’t know how to cherish it. Let her stand there!”

The anger in her heart hadn’t subsided.

For the next period, Shen Jun really seemed to have rooted herself in the crew.

She followed everyone to the set every morning, delivered breakfast, sweet soup, and herbal tea to Qiao Yanran, taking meticulous care of her, and stayed until they wrapped up in the evening. Her dedication almost surpassed that of a professional assistant.

She really did seem like she was there as a fan.

If Qiao Yanran didn’t speak to her, she wouldn’t initiate a conversation, and she remained unresponsive even when ignored.

Like a lump of dough.

In a flash, it was the day of Mo Xian’s concert. Su Tuantuan had already discussed it with the director. As soon as her scenes were done for the day, she changed and removed her makeup in the car in one fluid motion before the concert started.

Bai Xue and Qiao Yanran also wanted to go, but they didn’t have tickets. Bai Xue accused Su Tuantuan of valuing a lover over friends. Su Tuantuan had to promise to invite them for free to Mo Xian’s next concert, which finally calmed Bai Xue down.

Su Tuantuan didn’t put on any extra makeup. She hadn’t planned on letting Mo Xian know she was there.

Two hours ago, Mo Xian had messaged her, asking if her filming was going smoothly. Su Tuantuan deliberately said the director was being critical and that they were all gathered around being scolded, so Mo Xian didn’t dare mention the concert again.

That day, Mo Xian had asked Xiao Yu to deliver the New Year’s gift.

Su Tuantuan hadn’t expected Mo Xian to send her a puzzle.

Mo Xian didn’t seem like someone who would have time to put a puzzle together.

But this one was custom-made, and Mo Xian had even destroyed the sample image.

There were a total of two hundred pieces. Su Tuantuan felt like killing someone when she opened it.

She had planned to throw it away, but thinking it was from Mo Xian, she decided to put it together for half an hour every day after work.

She finished it in half a month.

Only after finishing did Su Tuantuan realize something was wrong.

The puzzle showed two small figures: one wearing overalls, the other in casual clothes, one with brown curly hair, the other with a wolf cut. The one in casual clothes was leaning down to kiss the one in overalls.

The background was a large area of lotus leaves.

The hint was too obvious. Su Tuantuan finished the puzzle and immediately cursed Mo Xian for being shameless, tearing the finished puzzle apart.

She wasted half a month of my time.

If Mo Xian ever asked, she would say she didn’t have time to put it together and hand it back for Mo Xian to do herself.

The concert venue was packed. Su Tuantuan and Sun Qiushuang met at the entrance. Their seats were very close to the stage. Sun Qiushuang was displeased. “You’re coming to see Mo Xian, but you didn’t even put on any makeup!”

Su Tuantuan was speechless. “Why should I wear makeup? It’s not like she can see me, right?”

With so many people here, Mo Xian would need a dozen all-around detectors on top of her head to see her.

Sun Qiushuang couldn’t argue with her and rolled her eyes. “It’s called respect! Do you understand respect! Look over there, the ones holding light boards, they’re all ‘Light’ fans! Some even wore wedding dresses!”

Su Tuantuan followed her pointing finger. She did see a group of ‘Light’ fans holding light boards. Many were meticulously dressed, and there were indeed several people wearing wedding dresses.

Sun Qiushuang shoved a light board into her hand. “They’re trying every way to attract our Goddess Mo’s attention. Can you please put some effort into this? You have such a prime location; you need to let Goddess Mo see you!”

Su Tuantuan: “…”

The more she listened, the more something felt off. “What do you mean see me? I’m not here to—”

Sun Qiushuang suddenly clutched her stomach. “I have to go to the restroom. Keep an eye on my seat. It’s hard to get this spot. Don’t let anyone take it.”

Sun Qiushuang dropped the light board and ran off.

The venue was crowded, but this area had fewer people and was guarded by security. Su Tuantuan saw Sun Qiushuang quickly disappear into the crowd. She came back to her senses and quietly looked at the light board in her hand.

The performance started quickly. Since it was a music festival featuring several artists, Mo Xian wasn’t the only performer. The first artists took turns performing. Mo Xian’s slot was in the middle to late part of the show, which was why Sun Qiushuang felt free to go to the restroom.

Someone quickly sat down next to Su Tuantuan. Sun Qiushuang’s seat was always blocked by the light board. The performance had already begun. Su Tuantuan wasn’t interested in others’ performances. After listening to two songs, she yawned several times. A lollipop was offered from the side.

Su Tuantuan froze for a moment. She looked back and almost lost her composure.

Mo Xian was wearing a hat, her entire face well-covered. Since everyone’s attention was on the stage, few noticed someone hiding nearby.

Su Tuantuan glanced at the lollipop in her hand. Peach flavor, the same kind she had given Mo Xian last time.

Su Tuantuan took it, peeled off the wrapper, and put it in her mouth, intending to continue watching the show, but she couldn’t concentrate.

She was glad this wasn’t a back row seat. Otherwise, if Mo Xian were discovered later, she wouldn’t be able to escape.

She was staring at the stage when her phone beeped twice. She picked it up and saw a message from Mo Xian.

Mo Xian: “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?”

Su Tuantuan didn’t want to expose herself and didn’t look at her. “I wasn’t planning on coming. Sun Qiushuang forced me to accompany her.”

She heard Mo Xian chuckle next to her.

Did that laugh sound like mockery?

Su Tuantuan frowned, giving her a look that could kill. Mo Xian put her mask back on, lowered her head, and continued texting: “I’m very happy that you could come.”

Su Tuantuan: “…”

What’s so happy about it? You’re happy because you earned one extra ticket fare?

Mo Xian: “I’ll perform well.”

Su Tuantuan put away her phone, ignoring her, and concentrated on watching the other performance. Mo Xian figured it wasn’t good to linger for too long. She stood up and left, but not before messing up Su Tuantuan’s hair.

Damn it!

Su Tuantuan wanted to curse.

Is my hair something you can mess up?!

I haven’t even washed my hair since filming wrapped today!

Su Tuantuan remembered Sun Qiushuang asking why she didn’t wear makeup.

The lighting was so dim just now. Mo Xian surely didn’t see her dark circles, eye bags, and the new pimples on her face, did she?

Su Tuantuan was annoyed.

The more she thought about it, the more wrong it felt.

How did Mo Xian know she was here? That traitor Sun Qiushuang must have spilled the beans!

Sure enough, when it was almost Mo Xian’s turn, Sun Qiushuang finally felt ready to return from the “restroom.” She pushed through the seats back to Su Tuantuan, hugging the light board as she sat down. The surrounding fans were singing along loudly. She leaned in conspiratorially toward Su Tuantuan. “Goddess Mo came to find you? I knew it! With your looks, how could Goddess Mo not like you!”

Su Tuantuan gasped, her look toward Sun Qiushuang like a dagger. She nearly asked if she had lost her mind.

Sun Qiushuang was enjoying herself, clutching the light board in ecstasy.

Finally, in the second half, Mo Xian took the stage. The hall immediately erupted in screams.

As soon as Mo Xian’s voice came out, Su Tuantuan heard someone shout in surprise.

Sun Qiushuang waved the light board and yelled, “Ten thousand stars! Are not as good as Goddess Mo!!!”

Su Tuantuan’s eardrums were about to burst.

Mo Xian smiled and made a ‘shh’ gesture. The fans’ screams gradually subsided. She looked in Su Tuantuan’s direction. “Then let’s have a dance.”

The fans started getting excited again.

As the music beat started, Mo Xian on the stage began to dance. Su Tuantuan covered her face, starting to wonder why she had come here.

She came in secret, she could indulge in her own admiration, but now that Mo Xian knew, what was the point of hiding?

Su Tuantuan looked calm on the surface, but her mind was a whirlwind of emotion.

Sun Qiushuang tugged at her clothes, shouting, “Yell! Yell! Hurry up and call her! Call her wife!!!”

Su Tuantuan opened her mouth.

She couldn’t shout it out.

Fans calling Mo Xian ‘wife’ knew it wouldn’t actually be true.

She couldn’t shout it.

If Mo Xian actually heard it, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Mo Xian finished her performance, sweat dripping down her hair, sliding toward her collarbone. Fans screamed, completely abandoning their image.

Mo Xian wiped her sweat and asked the fans below which song they wanted to hear next.

The fans shouted different song titles.

Sun Qiushuang nudged Su Tuantuan. “You say something! Which song should she sing?!”

Su Tuantuan thought, If I wanted her to sing something, would I be trying to steal a moment at this concert? Countless people in the audience liked Mo Xian. Those girls wearing wedding dresses to the concert must also be filled with joy.

Su Tuantuan was a little glad she hadn’t made the relationship official with Mo Xian.

How should she put it?

If she were just a fan, she wouldn’t bear to stain Mo Xian even slightly.

But she had not only tainted her but also had Mo Xian completely under her control.

Although Su Tuantuan also liked and loved Mo Xian’s stage presence, seeing the countless ‘Light’ fans enthusiastically cheering while Mo Xian kept glancing in her direction, she thought:

Maybe I shouldn’t come to Mo Xian’s concerts next time.

The guilt was too strong.

The person she liked was liked by so many others. Although their affection was completely different, she felt like an intruder.

She was invading the time that originally belonged to them for her own date.

She hadn’t realized this problem before because she thought it would be fine as long as she came in secret. It was even less of an issue when they hadn’t defined their relationship. Because she wasn’t “doing anything wrong,” she didn’t feel guilty.

Su Tuantuan quietly slipped away.

Just as Mo Xian was about to sing the next song.

Standing outside the stadium, she could still hear Mo Xian’s singing. She thought, standing on that shining stage, Mo Xian shouldn’t only be singing for her.

That, perhaps, was what felt fair.
