Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1069: For Her, He Chooses to Love the World
Leah Thorne felt shocked and bewildered. She never expected that Justin Xavier would bring her to watch "Floating Life".
Neither he nor she missed today’s premiere.
Soon, the movie began screening, and Leah saw herself on the screen. At that time, she hadn’t been disfigured yet. Her small face, as soft and beautiful as a blossom, wearing her blue, innocent school uniform, and a charming cheongsam instantly caused a sensation in the theatre.
"Wow, Beauty Thorne is absolutely stunning!"
"Since Beauty Thorne retired, the entertainment industry has felt so empty, no more red roses."
Leah entered the entertainment industry out of passion for acting. Now, surrounded by everyone’s praise and affection, her white eyes immediately turned red with emotion, truly moved.
At this moment, a familiar, low voice with a hint of indulgent laughter came to her ears, "How about it, isn’t this actress beautiful?"
Leah turned her head and immediately fell into Justin Xavier’s gentle eyes, which were filled with love and tenderness as he looked at her.
He really is... maddening!
So the leading lady he mentioned in the car was her; he said she was beautiful and even that she’s the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen!
Leah pouted her red lips, humming in response, "I admit you’ve seen the world, have a high taste and good judgment. This actress is indeed beautiful!"
"Yet, someone in the car just said beautiful is just a vase..."
"A vase is also a form of art! Knowledge and culture can be acquired through learning, but being a vase is something one can’t strive to be; that’s hardware, understand?" Leah confidently contradicted her previous words.
Justin Xavier curved his thin lips, the meaning clear that whatever she says is how it is; if she says round is square, then it’s square!
"Want some popcorn now?" Justin held a popcorn kernel to her red lips.
Actually, Leah wanted some from the beginning, as the golden sugar-coated popcorn had already issued a warm invitation to her.
"Alright, I’ll reluctantly have a little. Diego, such a pretty actress eating your popcorn, this is your good fortune!" Leah said, like a proud little peacock, smugly consuming the popcorn he fed her.
Justin put the popcorn in her arms, compliant and said, "I’m extremely lucky."
Leah was coaxed into happiness. She took a piece of popcorn and offered it to his lips, "Seeing how obedient you are, here, you eat one too."
Justin wasn’t a big fan of sweets, but since she offered it, even if it were poison, he would savor it, so he opened his mouth and ate it.
Leah tried to retract her fingers, but the next second, Justin gently bit her fingertip.
Leah’s feathered eyelashes trembled suddenly. His bite was light, not painful, but... this was too flirtatious.
Geez, why is he biting people?
Leah forcefully pulled her finger back, refocusing her vision on the screen, but her snow-white earlobes had already turned crimson.
At that moment, Justin’s tall figure leaned over and whispered softly into her ear, "I didn’t mean to, Sorry..."
Sorry...
His lowered voice, with a standard British accent, seemed to carry an electric current that immediately transmitted from Leah’s earlobe to her entire body, making her feel a shiver all over.
This driver really is... deadly!
Ahem.
Leah coughed lightly, pretending nonchalance, "No problem, just a small thing."
The movie continued playing, lasting for a total of 2 hours and 6 minutes. The film, directed by a renowned director and starring Leah, tells the story of a female college student Anya during the war era, who lost her family, fell into the vibrant city of Shanghai, became a famed socialite, and eventually joined the revolutionary tide, becoming a female warrior—a story that achieved tremendous success.
When the victory trumpet of the revolution sounded, and Leah’s character Anya cheered along with millions of Chinese people, the entire cinema burst into applause.
This movie, against the backdrop of a grand era, depicted the fate of young lovers. Leah’s superb acting perfectly portrayed Anya’s inner journey, making everyone laugh with her, cry with her, and cheer with her.
Leah was, without a doubt, the most successful.
The movie ended, but the tumultuous applause did not stop, and the audience was reluctant to leave for a long time.
Leah’s eyes had long become misty with crystal clear tears, as her eyelashes trembled anxiously, and the scorching tears nonetheless fell.
She couldn’t help but cry.
At that moment, a large hand reached over, gently wiping the tears off her small face, "Why are you crying yet? Going to cry yourself into a little flower cat."
Leah turned her head, and Justin Xavier’s handsome face magnified in her blurry vision.
Leah originally wanted to hold back her tears but didn’t know why. At this moment, beside him, under his tender, lingering gaze, the tears in her eyes fell like a broken string of pearls, only more fiercely as they fell.
She suddenly broke into sobs, unable to speak.
Justin quickly reached out, pulling her into his embrace, his thin lips falling onto her hair with intense kisses, "Alright, alright, don’t cry, silly girl, cry for what. Congratulations, the success of this movie is already showing its head, the subsequent box office is just around the corner, and this film will soon impact the three great Jinshan awards; perhaps in the coming year, you will stand on the highest stage, having so many people loving you, you’ve always been loved."
He comforted her repeatedly, telling her in the gentlest voice, telling her how excellent she was, how many people loved her.
Leah buried her face in his firm chest, not hesitating to wipe her tears on his expensive shirt, bursting into a smile amidst her tears, "Then do you know I am a big star, I’m unattainable!"
"Yes, yes," Justin Xavier curved his thin lips, his handsome brows filled with a full smile, "It’s I who cling to you, always have been."
...
Justin drove Leah back, and she fell asleep in the car.
Justin carried her into the bedroom, gently placing her on the soft, large bed when his cell phone rang, an incoming call.
It was from his private secretary.
"CEO, as per your instructions, Fanny has been safely sent home, and that scoundrel Mark Elliott has also been detained."
"Hmm, well done," Justin replied.
"CEO," the secretary hesitantly spoke, "CEO, why have you started involving yourself in... other people’s affairs now? I remember...you weren’t like this before."
The past self...
What was the past self like?
Cold-blooded, ruthless, indifferent.
The lives of others had no relation to him whatsoever.
Now, he had started intervening in others’ matters.
It was all because of...
Justin lowered his head, a gentle kiss landing on Leah’s forehead, "Leah, for you, I am willing to love the whole world."
Because this world had given her endless love, so for her, he would love the entire world.
