Transmigrated as the Top-Tier Alpha's Secretly Married Ex-Wife - Chapter 57

Chapter 57

Su Tuantuan’s ears were burning. She pushed Mo Xian away, looked at her steadily, and asked the assistant, “How much longer to the airport?”

The assistant replied, “Soon, ten minutes at most.”

Su Tuantuan rolled down the window, letting the night wind blow in. She turned her head to look at the street outside, her fingers still being held by Mo Xian.

Su Tuantuan pulled her hand away, but Mo Xian immediately took hold of her fingers again.

This time, she used force, and it hurt a little.

Su Tuantuan gave her an irritated look. Mo Xian just smiled back at her.

Su Tuantuan: “…”

She’s definitely got a screw loose.

When they arrived at the airport, Mo Xian naturally let go of her hand. Xiao Yu had already arrived and was waiting outside for her. Before getting out of the car, Su Tuantuan looked at Mo Xian. “I’m leaving.”

Mo Xian “Oh’d.” Tonight, many people were likely traveling, and there might be reporters here.

Su Tuantuan opened the car door and whispered, “I asked Sun Qiushuang.”

She paused. “That film will premiere in February.”

Mo Xian’s eyes lit up, but then, realizing that four months still had to pass, her eyes dimmed again.

Su Tuantuan was amused by her expression. She closed the car door and went to meet Xiao Yu.

Mo Xian watched her go until she disappeared from sight before telling the assistant to drive away.

She opened her small Weibo account and saw someone in the fan group posting retouched photos from the live broadcast today, as well as pictures of Su Tuantuan they had randomly encountered outside.

Someone in the group posted a photo of her and Su Tuantuan together.

In front of the signature wall, she had her arm around Su Tuantuan’s waist. Some CP fans were close to editing it into a wedding photo.

Many people commented in the group.

: “Help, I really want to see Tuanzi and Goddess Mo play a couple!”

: “The CP chemistry between these two is too strong! They look just like a real couple! Hahaha.”

Mo Xian smiled as she read the comments. When she saw what the fans said, she quietly took note of the IDs, saved all the pictures in the group, and posted them on Weibo.

After successfully posting, she saw Xiao Yu in the group telling people not to ship CPs randomly and to focus on her career. The fans’ enthusiasm then dissipated somewhat.

Mo Xian was about to log off but saw a private message.

It was from Xiao Yu.

Assistant Xiao Yu: “Hello dear, we received the rose essential oil you sent last time. But please don’t spend so much money in the future. Our Sister Tuantuan will feel embarrassed! It’s not easy for anyone to earn money!”

Over the past six months, Mo Xian had sent many gifts as a fan. When the fan club president found out, they said she was outrageously rich.

After all, most of the fans in Su Tuantuan’s fan group were very restrained when buying gifts.

Mo Xian replied: “It’s fine.”

MO-: “I have money.”

Assistant Xiao Yu: “Sweat /”

Assistant Xiao Yu: “Would it be convenient to leave your address? We plan to send you a small gift in return, as courtesy requires reciprocity. It’s our little token of appreciation.”

Mo Xian thought about it and left Ah Huai’s address, also noting a temporary work account.

MO-: “Thank you.”

Assistant Xiao Yu: “You’re too kind, too kind. It’s us who should be thanking you.”

The conversation ended there, and Mo Xian logged out of her small account.

Su Tuantuan was already applying a face mask in the VIP lounge. She closed her eyes for a nap. Assistant Xiao Yu organized the list of fans to reward this time, which mainly involved drawing some fans for gifts and sending extra gifts to those who regularly sent items.

She really felt bad about the extravagance.

“Good heavens, this rose essential oil costs over five thousand per bottle.”

Xiao Yu picked up the bottle of rose essential oil, checked the price online, and gasped. “This bottle is only ten milliliters! How much does one drop cost!”

Su Tuantuan opened her eyes. “That expensive???”

She herself wouldn’t splurge on something that costly.

That ID, MO-, sent a whole gift box, which contained twelve bottles.

This…

The tiny rose essential oil cost sixty thousand yuan…

Su Tuantuan hadn’t thought much of it before, but now, she felt a pain in her liver.

She earned about thirty thousand yuan per episode of a drama, at best, and that was for roles with heavy screentime, involving exposure to wind, sun, and rain. Her last drama, Beyond the Light Source, didn’t have heavy screentime. She filmed thirty-five episodes, and her salary was around eight hundred thousand yuan.

Although she could afford the essential oil, she definitely wouldn’t buy it herself.

She checked the apartment prices. After she finished filming this drama, The Wind Blows North, she estimated she could transfer the money for the apartment to Mo Xian. After all this hard work, what needed to be separated should be separated.

After the awards ceremony, Su Tuantuan immediately went back into work mode.

Her current drama, The Wind Blows North, tells the story of a single mother caring for her sick daughter.

The story was inspiring and touching. The mother, played by Su Tuantuan, came from a working-class background, and the hardships of life were almost crushing her.

Su Tuantuan’s styling for this role was mostly aligned with this image. When filming Jiang Nan, her muscles were quite toned, but she wasn’t fat. The director was satisfied with Su Tuantuan’s physique.

As for her skin, a bit of minimal makeup plus some modification was deemed appropriate.

The director of The Wind Blows North was a classmate of Pu Ke, a judge on The Path of Performance. As a result, he was much more lenient with Su Tuantuan. During filming, his attitude was gentle, and he rarely yelled.

When this drama was finally wrapped, it was deep into winter.

Su Tuantuan rushed non-stop to the next set. This year, Su Tuantuan only filmed two movies, Redemption and Jiang Nan. The rest were TV dramas. Besides The Wind Blows North, which had twenty episodes, December’s Long-Lasting Fragrance had over forty episodes.

Long-Lasting Fragrance was a period drama mainly about the hardships and achievements of poverty alleviation efforts.

The filming environment was not luxurious. Su Tuantuan used dry toilets for nearly three months and didn’t return to City A until after the Lantern Festival (15th day of the first lunar month).

She spent the New Year in the film crew. The conditions were tough. The director and everyone were immersed in the work. On New Year’s Eve, they filmed the New Year’s Eve scene. The food on the table was relatively rich, but the director only let everyone eat after several takes.

After finishing this drama, Su Tuantuan had lost weight again.

With irregular sleep and simple lunch boxes every day, the high physical intensity naturally led to rapid weight loss.

On the Lantern Festival, Su Tuantuan didn’t tell anyone. She went home first and slept for two days and two nights. When she woke up, she was browsing takeout menus when Sun Qiushuang messaged her.

Sun Qiushuang: “The premiere of Redemption is the day after tomorrow! Can you be there on time? You’re not still stuck on set, are you?”

The title of the movie gave Su Tuantuan a headache. Thinking about facing those two co-stars, she was speechless. “We’ll see.”

Sun Qiushuang: “What do you mean ‘we’ll see’? You’re the lead! You have to be there!”

Sun Qiushuang: “Otherwise, how embarrassing would that be? The only Omega isn’t coming.”

Su Tuantuan had planned to go, but Sun Qiushuang’s incessant nagging, which would only get worse if she said she wasn’t going, prompted Su Tuantuan to quickly reply: “Got it.”

She didn’t plan to reply to any further messages from Sun Qiushuang.

She drew a clear distinction: friends were friends, and collaborators were collaborators.

Although she didn’t hate Redemption, she couldn’t accept the fussy and oppressive collaboration style.

Moreover, one of those two Alphas won a minor award overseas last month. While they might not openly show arrogance, an underlying sense of superiority was inevitable.

Lying down, Su Tuantuan thought of Mo Xian.

Mo Xian, would she attend the premiere?

She sat up from the sofa.
