A second chance with my billionaire husband
Chapter 1854 - 436: Dead End, Heavy Hearts (Second Update)
"Is that so? Then congratulations in advance, my sister." The Queen said with a forced smile.
"I hope you take care of your health and make sure to last until that day, don’t let me down." The implication being a curse for her short life.
Gunara showed off for a bit and then swayed away with a snaky waist, the Queen sneered: "Foolish things, anyone coveting my son’s position is on a dead-end road."
Treasure Bead silently approached and whispered: "Queen, our plan has succeeded."
The Queen curled her lips in satisfaction: "Very good."

The news about the coronation ceremony of the Princess of Bauhinia spread worldwide at the same time, stirring a wave of discussion particularly within Country Hua.
This country really keeps hitting the headlines, not to mention the Queen, now comes a Princess, tsk tsk, are they going to implement a western constitutional monarchy?
Meanwhile, speculation about this Princess also sparked a new wave of online trends.
These things are too distant from their world, they are just ordinary citizens; perhaps they have wealthy families, perhaps their families hold high positions, everyone has a seemingly ordinary yet extraordinary life. Nevertheless, even so, those queens and princesses are as far away to them as the ends of the earth, impossible to intersect.
Those people can stomp and make the world shake thrice; while these ordinary small folks can only fantasize online, envying others’ prosperity, but still need to keep their feet on the ground, eating and working as usual.
"What do you think this Princess looks like? I read in the news that many international dignitaries will attend the coronation ceremony. The Princess certainly has a considerable influence, truly people envy others to death."
In Jinling Film and Television City, at a modern drama filming site, during a break, a young girl held a phone, browsing the colorful news online, and vented to a friend nearby.
"I know, I know, she must be really ugly, overweight, with a face full of pimples, never able to get married haha..." Another girl joked, with a slightly sour tone.
"Even being so ugly, she’s not worried about getting married, thanks to having a formidable mother, being a Princess, tsk tsk... doesn’t even need a Prince to fight over her."
"People like us, without a background, have to endure filming under the scorching sun and silently endure unwritten rules. This damn world, next life I must be born into a good family, I also want to be a Princess."
"Careful not to accidentally be born into a pig family... Ah, don’t hit me...."
Listening to the young girls giggling around, Xue Chengcheng shook her head, wiped her sweaty forehead, and sat down. Her assistant quickly handed her an iced water, and energetically fanned her, dispelling the heat.
By late May, the temperature steadily rose, especially in the north, summer arrived early, and it was already unbearably hot.
The agitation in Xue Chengcheng’s heart slowly cooled after sipping iced water, and she flipped open her script with her other hand, seriously memorizing the upcoming lines.
Having been through hard times, she understood the harshness of the entertainment industry better than anyone, she seized even the tiniest opportunities.
Thinking of something, she took out her phone and opened WeChat, the "sugar daddy" section still had no messages.
A hint of disappointment colored her eyes.
Probably busy with work.
After hesitating, she typed a line into the input box, feeling a bit forward and somewhat pretentious, then deleted each word. Finally, she sent four words - "Have you eaten?"
After waiting for a while without a reply, she tightly pursed her lips, chuckled mockingly, what were you expecting?
Taking a deep breath, she picked up the script and dived into it. At that moment, her phone beeped, indicating a WeChat message had arrived.
She opened it with a lack of backbone.
——"I have eaten, how about you?"
The simple five words seemed magical, making her heart stir with gentle waves, her brows and eyes unconsciously tinged with a blush she didn’t realize just how foolish she looked smiling right now.
——"To keep up the pace, today’s shooting schedule is heavy, haven’t had time to eat yet."
The tone had a hint of a girl’s coquettishness.
The other side didn’t reply again, she reflected on whether her previous words were too forward and displeased him?
Pouting regretfully, really shouldn’t have done that.
Just then, a low-key yet luxurious car parked outside the crew, attracting quite some attention, the two young actresses who discussed it early pointed at that car and started talking again.
