One night, a whole nightmare hodgepodge!
One moment, she dreamt that Li Beijue came knocking at her door, the next, that he was competing with her for Baby Chi, and then that Li Beijue was leading Baby Chi, both of them saying in unison that her chest was too small, telling her to come find them when it grew a bit more.
She knew it was a dream, but she just couldn’t wake up, tossing and turning all night.
…
The next day, a ray of sunlight shone through the window sill and landed on the wooden floor.
Chi Enen sat up, rubbing her throbbing head. Her mobile phone was vibrating cheerfully on the nightstand; she reached out to turn off the alarm.
She had just flung off the quilt, stretched, and then every muscle in her body felt as if it had been run over by a car, achingly sore.
“Hiss—”
Chi Enen sucked in a breath of pain, took a moment to gather herself, and moved in front of the mirror, only to discover a neck and collarbone full of purple-red hickeys.
Li Beijue…
She pursed her lips, averted her gaze, and decisively went to the bathroom to take a shower. She rummaged through her bag for foundation to cover the hickeys, quickly brushed her teeth, washed her face, and left.
…
“Love Through Three Life Times” is the hottest film IP right now, with investments from the entertainment giant Gusheng Group, not to mention gathering the most popular idol Best Actress of the moment.
The male lead is the Best Actor.
The female lead is the current Best Actress.
The reason Chi Chenchen was able to play a minor role in this drama, destined to be a big hit, was all thanks to Lin Anxin’s social connections.
As soon as she arrived on set, she heard several actresses chatting.
“Why hasn’t Chi Enen arrived yet?”
“Heh, she must be too exhausted from last night.”
“She really has a strong taste, actually posting a video playing Russian roulette with a man online. She must be desperate for fame.”
“The video didn’t show the faces of the man and woman, maybe it wasn’t Enen?”
The first person to speak scoffed, “So many people went to the bar last night, they all said she lost and went to film a video with a man, and the video came out that evening. The timing and location match up, who else could it be but her?”
Wang Lin sneered, “Appearances can be deceiving, what kind of people aren’t in this circle? Even the third female lead in our drama crew, isn’t she the one who got the role through the back door of the director. The director is in his forties, old and ugly, and yet she still went to bed with him. Besides, the reason Chi Enen could join us is all because of the assistant director. I think the assistant director might have, well… you know.”
“That’s impossible, right?”
“Yeah, Linlin, where did you hear that? You can eat messy food, but you can’t talk nonsense.”
Chi Enen stood at the doorway of the makeup room, biting her teeth to resist the urge to rush in and explain.
Gossip is like a dog; the more you engage with it, the louder it barks. If she were to rush in to explain now, it might just make things even worse.
Chi Enen stood at the doorway, planning to wait for them to finish their conversation before going in.
Suddenly, a sweet voice came from behind her.
“Young Master Jue, what’s wrong?”
Young Master Jue?
A handsome face, almost relentlessly cold and ruthless, flashed across Chi Enen’s mind!
Li Beijue? This can’t be bad luck, can it?
She instinctively turned around and sure enough, she saw the man—just that several years had passed, the man had become more mature and cold. He wore the black bespoke suit with a heroic spirit. He was still cold-blooded to the bone, his deep features showing not a trace of a smile, thin lips tightly pressed, without any curvature.
It was him!
What was he doing here?
Could it be that he had followed her here?
A tightness gripped Chi Enen’s heart!
Sheng Aiyi glanced from the astounded to the forcibly calm Chi Enen, then at the man who was staring unblinkingly at Chi Enen, bit her red lips, and casually took the man’s arm, smiling as she said, “Young Master Jue, do you know Enen?”
Chi Enen knew Sheng Aiyi, a member who had parachuted into the drama crew just like her.
However, unlike her role, which hardly had any lines, Sheng Aiyi was parachuted straight into the role of the second female lead. And she had read the script, even the female lead did not have as many scenes as her. She had long heard that Sheng Aiyi came from a well-connected family, but she had no idea that she was also acquainted with Li Beijue.
Though Sheng Aiyi had an average relationship with her and was haughty, she never really bullied their group of minor roles, but she was mostly indifferent to them. She didn’t know Sheng Aiyi even remembered her name.
“Enen, you know each other?”
Seeing that Li Beijue was ignoring her, Sheng Aiyi turned to ask Chi Enen.
“We…” Chi Enen’s hands involuntarily clenched into fists.
Li Beijue caught her small movement in the corner of his eye, his falcon-like eyes flashing, “We know each other.”
Of course they knew each other!
She, Chi Enen, was the first woman to play him like a fiddle, and the only one who dared to slip away after playing him, fool around with another man, and then come back to seduce him in public!
How could he not recognize such a shameless woman!
Chi Enen nervously pressed her lips together, chuckled dryly, and made an excuse, “Heh heh. We’ve only met once.”
No sooner had her words fallen than Li Beijue exuded an intimidating cold air.
Sheng Aiyi uttered an “oh” sound, tilted her head coquettishly, and asked, “How come I didn’t know you’ve met Enen?”
“She’s not someone important, no need to bring her up,” the man’s voice carried a mocking coldness.
A light of happiness flickered in Sheng Aiyi’s eyes, she let out a sigh of relief, and with a face full of embarrassment apologized on his behalf to Chi Enen, “Enen, sorry, he is just like that. He didn’t mean anything by it, so don’t take it to heart. By the way, are you free at noon? Do you want to have lunch together?”
“No…” Of course, Chi Enen wouldn’t take it to heart; she wasn’t just learning today what a big temper this man had. Unfortunately, the rest of her refusal was interrupted.
“She’s not you; what could she have going on?”
“Then it’s settled, Enen, we’ll have lunch together at noon, Young Master Jue and I will wait for you at the intersection,” Sheng Aiyi said, pulling Li Beijue by the hand, “Young Master Jue, we should get going, my little uncle is still waiting for us.”
“Hm.”
And the two walked away…
