The Goddess is Sweet and Aloof-Chapter 1010 - 1008: Heading Back Home

Today in the first scene, Qiao Xiaren appears opposite Adelaide, an actor of Best Actor caliber. Hen Qiaoni thought Qiao Xiaren would be nervous or perform poorly.

Who would have thought that Qiao Xiaren would get into character quickly and act so naturally.

Even with the presence of Kerry, Gerna, and Mary, Qiao Xiaren remained as natural as if she couldn’t see them at all.

Once Qiao Xiaren got serious, the atmosphere she created was almost infectious; even Hen Qiaoni, the director, began to feel tense.

Qiao Xiaren plays Winnie, who after discovering her husband’s infidelity, hesitates for a long time before deciding to confront and leave her middle-aged, philandering husband.

She lowers her head and gathers up those indecent photos.

Then, she stands up and kisses her ten-year-old daughter’s forehead.

She loves her daughter, but she doesn’t want to pretend to be happy, to act as if everything is perfect. Winnie lives too lucid a life, stubborn to a point where she refuses to buy into any so-called illusions.

Soon, the door is locked.

Winnie leaves the house, staying calm all the while, until she finally corners the man and woman at their home’s entrance.

"Winnie, oh..." The man clearly didn’t expect his wife to confront him. Wearing only a simple piece of clothing, he tries to approach and soothe her, but is met with a resounding slap.

"You belong in hell!"

Winnie’s eyes are red, and her trembling fingers betray an excitement hidden deep within her.

"Winnie, after decades of the same daily routine, don’t you find us boring and uninteresting?" the man pleads, reaching out his hand, "For your sake, I gave up joining that damn basketball team back in the day. Otherwise, by now, I would’ve been a key player with boundless prospects..."

"Go to your damned basketball team," Winnie curses. "Since you like your basketball team so much, go to hell back to it!"

"Cut!"

At this moment, Hen Qiaoni calls a halt, obviously very satisfied.

This wasn’t a one-take shot. Although there weren’t any major issues with Qiao Xiaren earlier, Hen Qiaoni, being very demanding, naturally wanted to shoot several takes to choose the best one before calling it quits.

Qiao Xiaren and Adelaide both let out a sigh of relief, then walked over to this side.

"Qiao, well done. It seems that boy Dawa has made the right choice in you. For the role of Eva, you’re definitely up to the task," Hen Qiaoni gives her a thumbs up.

Qiao Xiaren smiles modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, Director."

Soon, today’s shooting comes to an end.

Qiao Xiaren tidies up her things, ready to make her way home.

"Mary really lives up to the title of everybody’s darling, with that figure and face, it’s really something," Yunduo couldn’t help but whisper to Qiao Xiaren, "just that her looks are a tad less than yours."

"You sure have a sweet mouth," Qiao Xiaren gives her a glance, "Let’s head back first."

Yunduo simply answers and follows her with a beaming smile.

"Do you want to go see Director Dawa now?" Weini suggests, walking beside her.

"No need for now, let’s go back to the apartment." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

The group quickly returns to the apartment. Yunduo and Annie greet Qiao Xiaren and then take their leave. Weini, who takes her skincare very seriously, begins applying a face mask as soon as she’s back.

Even though Qiao Xiaren is abroad, her updates are constantly being followed back home.

It isn’t a surprise that Qiao Xiaren would take part in the destination. It was announced two years ago. If it wasn’t for the incident with Chu Yifei, perhaps the movie would have been completed long ago.
