Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 999 - 988: Movie King

"Li Ge, I swear, I will never use you for anything." Ye Qiu stepped forward, holding her hand, and said, earnestly looking into her eyes, "So, can you trust me a little more, please?"

Seeing him like this, seeming almost pleading, Li Ge softened, and the hard wall within her heart started to crack. She nodded involuntarily, "Alright!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled brightly and then tightly embraced her, his voice slightly hoarse, "Thank you for trusting me, and thank you for agreeing to my pursuit, Little Gengzi. Since you have agreed, it’s a lifelong matter. I won’t let go."

Li Ge embraced him back slightly but didn’t reply, after all, there was still doubt in her heart. What happened last life wasn’t just a dream, but something she truly experienced, and the feeling of being deeply hurt was something she could never forget.

Ye Qiu felt her emotions and sighed softly, telling himself not to rush as they had taken a big step forward. They still had more time to be together, and he finally had a reason to stand by her side from now on.

"Are you hungry? I’ll go make something to eat. You rest a bit first, and don’t mind what’s on the internet. In a couple of days, the heat will naturally die down." Ye Qiu released her, his eyes full of tenderness.

Li Ge, however, was somewhat unhappy. Whose matter is this anyway? It seemed like she was more anxious than the person involved. Oh well, if he’s not anxious, then neither is she. Who cares?

Though thinking this way, once Ye Qiu went to the kitchen, she couldn’t help but take out her phone to check the comments. Seeing those malicious remarks made her sulk again.

Until the aroma of the dishes wafted over, she finally put down her phone and headed to the kitchen. Inside, the tall, handsome man was attentively turning the spatula, serving the dish from the pan onto a plate, then opened the pot next to it to ladle some soup with a small bowl and spoon, seemingly sensing her presence, he turned and offered it to her mouth.

"Taste it to see if it’s salty," Ye Qiu said casually.

But Li Ge was very unaccustomed. Last time, they had never been like this. He was always busy—filming, making appearances, while she was busy following his schedules and news. Every time she worked until late at night, she just wanted to sleep early. Occasionally, they’d have a moment of warmth, but the kitchen at home was always just for show.

And now, he was like an ordinary husband who loves his wife, cooking, cheering her up, even letting her taste the saltiness of the flavor. This was something she didn’t dare dream of last life, fearing it was all just a dream.

Seeing Li Ge merely stare at him, frozen, Ye Qiu teased with a smile, "What’s wrong, afraid I poisoned it?"

He tasted it himself, then kissed the corner of her lips playfully, "Now we’re both ’poisoned’."

This brought Li Ge back to reality, her eyes widening as she looked at the man with a smirk incredulously.

How could he? This isn’t last life.

Li Ge was frustrated not knowing how to react, glaring at Ye Qiu’s back hatefully, though her ears quietly reddened.

Admittedly, Ye Qiu’s culinary skills were top-notch. Even if he didn’t choose the Light of the God of Cooking skill in this life, his skills could still outshine most chefs, at least easily capturing Li Ge’s taste.

As she drank the warming soup, Li Ge thought self-deprecatingly, even if it’s just for this cooking skill, agreeing to be with him again doesn’t seem like a loss. If he reverts to his old self, and stops making such delicious dishes for her, she wouldn’t hesitate to break up.

Thus, as the old saying goes, it works here—Ye Qiu managed to capture Li Ge’s taste buds first, and eventually, one day he’ll melt her frozen heart.

Ye Qiu stayed at home for three days, without making further public comments about the gentle issue. He occasionally shared some of his dishes online, sometimes featuring Li Ge’s shoes or dishes in the shot, as if those matters didn’t affect him at all.

However, three days later, just as the matter’s heat was about to decline, he released a few long videos; footage of him being unhappy upon learning he was assigned to Ji Guang, and footage of him leading Ji Guang into Ji Guang’s house only to come out shortly after.

Luckily, Ye Qiu was clever back then, stepping out for a bit shows that there was continuous video surveillance; though he later went back in, how else could he have threatened Ji Guang? But the content from that time wasn’t necessary to release.

Netizens observed that after this event, Ji Guang feared Ye Qiu like a mouse fearing a cat, and the two had no further interactions, until Ye Qiu terminated his contract with Deep Blue Entertainment.

Watching this left netizens with a big question mark—just what happened in those ten-plus minutes?

If Ye Qiu really had an affair, it doesn’t make sense, given his clothes were neatly worn, could Ji Guang be that quick?

Which is unrealistic, because what kind of person is Ji Guang? According to those he exploited, that person is anything but calm, so meeting someone like Ye Qiu wouldn’t excite him?

And the key point is that Ji Guang seemed afraid of Ye Qiu afterwards; why should a company stakeholder fear a small artist without any background?

Though puzzled, the former rumor about Ye Qiu’s voluntary liaison was thoroughly erased.

Yet just as netizens were curious to dig deeper, several major scandals broke online about the two hottest stars in recent years.

Seeing the footage showing violent and grotesque behavior, they found it hard to believe this was the Chen Kela who always portrayed an innocent, shy persona.

The assistant beside him was hit but dared not retaliate; moreover, he calmly tidied up the shattered items, indicating this wasn’t the first time.

Then late at night, the shy Prince Chen Kela, who normally would recoil even from female guests getting closer during shows, was seen passionately kissing a woman and then carrying her into a hotel.

The other scandal involved Zhang Yishi, usually more stable, maintaining a cool style, possessing some real skills; though not good at acting, his dancing was top-notch.

Yet this superstar who drove fans crazy was caught in footage allegedly using drugs with friends. That evening, the local police announced the arrest of a Zhang-named star.

These two shocking scandals stunned all netizens, crashing Weibo as the top twenty trending topics were about them. This night was destined to be a chaotic one, driving countless people mad, yet Ye Qiu’s crisis was dealt with as these two major scandals diverted attention away from him.
