Turns Out Seducing the Movie Queen Can Break the Plot - Chapter 39.2

Wen Wen set the bottle down and gestured toward the numbers on the display screen. “It seems your heart is very healthy. But I wonder.” Her gaze lingered meaningfully on Jiang Chi’s face. “Who caused such a strong, lively heartbeat?”

Jiang Chi’s eyes flickered over Wen Wen’s figure before she guiltily averted her gaze.

Wen Wen caught the glance perfectly. The frustration in her heart eased at that moment. She didn’t know what kind of video the production team had prepared about her, but now, she had a rough idea.

Director Xu: “Now, everyone, please guess who caused Jiang Chi’s heart rate to spike to 200 beats per minute. Jiang Chi, you cannot give any hints or reactions, or you’ll lose 50% of the final reward. If there’s no reward in the end, you’ll owe the production team instead.”

Starting with Ji Mei, the guests’ guesses were bizarrely unanimous even Su Jing herself chose Su Jing. When it was Wen Wen’s turn, all eyes turned to her.

Wen Wen’s gaze swept over the group, lingering briefly on Su Jing before settling on Jiang Chi. “I guess the one who made Jiang Chi’s heart race was me.”

Bound by the rules, Jiang Chi resisted reacting. But her eyes, those were beyond her control. The moment she heard the answer, her dark pupils brightened unmistakably, like a single star piercing through the night sky, impossible to ignore.

Wen Wen became even more certain, she had guessed right. Her half-suspended heart finally settled back into place.

It wasn’t Su Jing. It was her.

For some inexplicable reason, she felt that the night of unrequited love seemed to catch a glimpse of dawn at this moment.

At the very least, she wouldn’t drown in the endless darkness.

Before Director Xu could even ask, Ji Mei raised her hand eagerly. “I’ll go next!”

After her came Jin Jin Yi, Bai Yuetong, and finally Wen Wen.

The girl with bangs nudged the bespectacled girl with her elbow. “Wanna make a bet?”

The bespectacled girl adjusted her glasses. “What kind of bet?”

The bangs girl grinned mysteriously. “Let’s bet how high Wen Wen’s heart rate will spike when she sees Jiang Jiang’s photo! Whoever guesses closest wins. If I win, you have to get excited with me next time!”

“Fine,” the bespectacled girl said. “But if I win, you can’t shake my hands when you’re excited.”

“Ha! You’re disgusted by me, aren’t you?” The bangs girl stared straight into her eyes.

The bespectacled girl coughed lightly and looked away, adjusting her glasses again. “No. Then I’ll change the bet.”

Jiang Chi was equally nervous as she watched the numbers on the heart rate monitor yet they remained as steady as a rock, not fluctuating at all.

She tilted her head to observe Wen Wen’s expression, but it was just as calm.

[LMAO, why is her heart rate so chill?]

[This is what they call “a heart as still as water” hahaha]

[We’ve seen four now, and there’s literally zero reaction.]

[It moved!!]

Jiang Chi, who had been keeping a close eye on the screen, saw the numbers finally shift. Her eyelids twitched as she glanced back at Wen Wen. The screen’s glow reflected in her eyes, making them shimmer strangely for a moment before her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

Jiang Chi immediately checked the heart rate again unsurprisingly, the already modest spike plummeted sharply.

What did this mean?

Judging by Wen Wen’s expression, it clearly signaled disgust.

Someone she both liked and despised, Su Jing?

Yeah, who else could stir Wen Wen’s emotions like that?

Her mood plummeted from the clouds straight into the mud. Just moments ago, she had called herself the most charming person! And now, she was getting flustered over someone else.

Hmph. A beauty’s words are a devil’s lies!

Jiang Chi shot a resentful glance at Wen Wen, who remained unfazed as she calmly removed her headphones, meticulously coiled the cord, and handed them to the staff member collecting them.

But she was so breathtakingly beautiful even the simple act of taking off headphones was indescribably stunning.

At least that scumbag Su Jing was blind!

But what did it matter if the scumbag was blind when the beauty’s heart was blind too!

Director Xu: “Alright, everyone can start guessing now. Who do you think is the lucky one who managed to stir Wen Wen’s unshakable heart?”

Su Jing: “Jiang Chi.”

Jiang Chi: ???

What was this? Was this scumbag mocking her?

Bai Yuetong: “Jiang Chi.”

Jiang Chi: ???

Why did both the male and female leads think it was her?

Was this some kind of couple’s tacit understanding?

She looked at Wen Wen, who remained expressionless strictly speaking, a little serious, as if deep in thought.

Ji Mei: “Su Jing.”

Jiang Chi: Exactly. That’s how it should be.

Jin Jin Yi: “Su Jing.”

When it was Jiang Chi’s turn, all eyes immediately focused on her with Su Jing’s gaze being the most intense, as if he was expecting her to give a specific answer.

Jiang Chi deliberately refused to comply, blurting out her own name instead.

The moment the words left her lips, she could clearly sense the strange shift in the guests’ attention including Wen Wen’s.

She glanced over and saw Wen Wen’s brows furrow almost imperceptibly.

To Jiang Chi, that gaze seemed to carry a hint of reproach, as if scolding her for being so presumptuous.

Even the last sliver of hope was utterly crushed.

She really had overestimated herself.

Her frustration grew even stronger, to the point where she wanted to simply stand up and leave.

What frustrated her most was that she didn’t even know where this frustration came from.

Was she upset that Wen Wen didn’t feel anything for her? Or was she annoyed that someone like Su Jing even existed in this world.

Director Xu: “Alright, everyone has completed the task. Now, we’ll announce the directly matched couples based on heartbeats.”
