I Went Viral After Dating a Superstar-Chapter 126: Falling in Love because of a Drama
Mu Qianli really wanted to cry. Had someone finally realized she wasn’t a fan?
"How is Pei Jinxi doing?"
She blurted out her question without any regard for decorum.
The staff member was taken aback.
Zhou Mubai’s agent... asking about Pei Jinxi’s condition?
Was she asking whether he was dead?
Even if they were from rival agencies competing for resources, wasn’t this too callous...
With Mu Qianli standing there, watching the staff member’s strange expression, she wondered if he was getting the wrong idea.
Because the travel was far, they hadn’t rushed Pei Jinxi to the hospital immediately but instead had called a few doctors here.
Firstly, there were too many fans outside; they were afraid that taking him to the hospital might result in a car chase, which could worsen his injuries.
Secondly, it was just a superficial wound, and this place had all the necessary medical equipment that a hospital would have, so after bringing it over and checking, there seemed to be no problems.
So, Pei Jinxi was still here.
Upon hearing that he was not in serious condition, Mu Qianli finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Pei Jinxi is inside, with staff taking care of him."
As soon as Mu Qianli entered, she saw a woman sitting to one side, looking up at her.
Her hair was pulled back, she was simply dressed, and her face wore an expression of concern as she watched Pei Jinxi, who was sleeping on the bed.
She was none other than the lead actress of this film, the newly-minted Best Actress award-winner, and a married woman, Lin Wanruo.
As soon as Lin Wanruo saw Mu Qianli come in, she stood up in surprise.
"Why are you here?"
Mu Qianli’s first glance was towards Pei Jinxi, who was asleep on the bed.
He had been given painkillers, which had a sedative effect, causing him to fall into a deep sleep after being administered.
Mu Qianli guessed that this was the reason he hadn’t answered the phone.
Seeing that he indeed seemed alright, Mu Qianli relaxed and then turned her attention to Lin Wanruo.
"I’m here to see Pei Jinxi."
"You came to see Pei Jinxi? Why? You’re not his agent."
"Hasn’t Hu Yiwei arrived?" Instead of answering, she countered with her own question.
"He’s overseas and couldn’t come. I’m asking you."
Lin Wanruo became somewhat irritated at the non-response, her tone growing heavier.
"Oh, I’m standing in for him," said Mu Qianli without batting an eye while lying.
"You?"
Naturally, Lin Wanruo didn’t believe it for a second and scoffed, "Is that so? Well, since you’ve seen him now, you can leave. The crew’s staff can handle things from here. It’s not convenient for you to stay."
Was she being directly dismissed?
"No need. Since I’ve come all this way, I should at least wait until he wakes up." She promptly sat down.
Lin Wanruo’s eyes flared with anger as she watched Mu Qianli, who didn’t seem to consider herself an outsider at all. She picked up a towel from the side and bent down to wipe Pei Jinxi’s forehead.
Mu Qianli silently watched the towel.
Great, she thought, taking care of someone else’s boyfriend so intimately, even using a towel to wipe his head?
She herself had never done such a thing; there was no need for others to overstep their boundaries.
And besides, wiping like that, one could easily touch his face.
A married woman caring for another man like this—didn’t the crew have anyone else?
Lin Wanruo spoke bluntly, "Hey, isn’t it inappropriate for you to be here?"
"Teacher Lin," Mu Qianli looked up, "Isn’t it more inappropriate for you to be here? After all, you are a married woman. Usually, you’d avoid such situations on set, and it wouldn’t even be right to stoke dating rumors. Here you are, caring for the male lead in the dead of night—if someone were to take a photo... wouldn’t it look like you had fallen in love because of the drama? Others might get a trending topic out of such a rumor, but for you, it would be a scandal."
...
Lin Wanruo turned pale.
Stiffly, she looked at the excessively blunt-speaking Mu Qianli.
After giving Mu Qianli a glance, she lowered her head and continued to wipe Pei Jinxi’s face.
Lin Wanruo’s expression was frozen for a long time until suddenly, she let out a light laugh and said, "How do you know it hasn’t happened?"
Happened? Fallen in love because of the drama?
