Chapter 404: A Bet
Qin Muxuan looked straight into Gu Zijin’s eyes and saw the fear and fatigue hidden there. Her heart trembled. This man had really changed for the better, and he had given her all his love wholeheartedly.
She couldn’t help walking forward and holding Gu Zijin’s waist.
Gu Zijin was stunned by this sudden hug. He wanted to hug her back, but he was holding a glass of milk in his hand, which made him look awkward.
He didn’t know what happened to Qin Muxuan. He was afraid that she would relapse, so he hesitated for a while before he finally stroked Qin Muxuan’s back softly and asked in a gentle voice, “What’s wrong? Did anyone upset you?”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Qin Muxuan took a deep breath, tiptoed and kissed Gu Zijin on his lips.
“Gu Zijin, thank you. I love you too,” after she said that, she snatched the glass from his hand and sat at the dining table, looking quite serious.
Gu Zijin touched the place where her sweet lips kissed and looked at the blush on Qin Muxuan’s cheeks. And after a while, he started to chuckle.
Like the warm winter sun, any bad stuff which happened in the past were completely dispelled.
“My dear, try this egg. It’s delicious.”
Looking at the egg that obviously didn’t look good, Qin Muxuan stared at Gu Zijin who looked quite expectant. Without hesitation, she forked it and wolfed the egg down.
“It tastes great!” Qin Muxuan praised sincerely.
Gu Zijin gently wiped the corner of her mouth with a piece of tissue, “If you like it, I’ll make it for you every morning.”
Qin Muxuan nodded and genuinely felt that she was now bathed in endless love.
Since the moment she got downstairs, they’d been acting like they were two teenagers who had just fallen in love with each other, and neither of them did anything to ruin this warm scene.
The two of them finished their breakfast intimately and walked out together.
At the entrance of a hotel, when Qin Muxuan was about to open the door and get out of the car Gu Zijin grabbed her arm and kissed her on her forehead.
“I’ll be back after I finish my work. If you don’t have any other work to do after the audition, go back early and have some rest.”
“Okay,” Qin Muxuan nodded.
Seeing that Qin Muxuan had entered the entrance of the hotel, Gu Zijin said to the driver in a low voice, “Go to the office.”
In order to get today’s audition for Qin Muxuan, Huang Qi had to pulled some strings.
Today’s audition is for the second female lead of the play. It was a rather lovely and decent character.
“Muxuan, no matter who plays this role, she will definitely attract the attention of the public. It’s a perfect role for you to leave a good impression. So, this time, you must nail it, got it?”
Huang Qi walked beside Qin Muxuan and whispered as she entered the door.
Qin Muxuan nodded, indicating that she knew it.
The two of them waited in the lounge. Seeing that Qin Muxuan was tensed up and looked quite serious, Huang Qi tried to comfort her.
“Don’t be nervous, Muxuan. Just try your best. Relax. You tend to make mistakes when you’re too nervous.”
Of course, Qin Muxuan understood that as well. She took a few deep breaths and calmed herself down quickly.
She gave herself a pep talk. “I’ve been working in this industry for so many years. It’s just an audition. Don’t worry.”
Quite satisfied with Qin Muxuan’s emotion regulation ability, Huang Qi nodded.
“OH! Isn’t this Agent Huang? Long time no see.”
A sarcastic female voice was heard above Qin Muxuan’s and Huang Qi’s heads, causing both of them to look up.
Qin Muxuan saw that it was someone she didn’t know, but Huang Qi frowned.
“What are you doing here?” Huang Qi stood up.
The woman smiled triumphantly. “Isn’t that obvious? How amazing! I thought that after you lost face last time, you’d never be an agent again. I didn’t expect that I’d ever see you again in situations like this.”
“And you’re with…?” The woman deliberately paused for a moment and looked at Qin Muxuan disdainfully. She prolonged her tone, “… a DESPERATE actress who uses her OWN child to earn fame?”
The expressions on Huang Qi’s face turned extremely angry. “Xu Gui, you know exactly what really happened back then. Whatever you want to do, you come to me. If you dare touch my artist, I will let you know what it means to get more than you bargained for!”
The woman called Xu Gui laughed out loud. “Knock it off, Huang Qi. Do you think you are who you used to be? Take a good look around. You’re no longer a big name in the current entertainment industry.”
Huang Qi was about to refute when Qin Muxuan, who had been listening to their talks all this time, held his hand.
Although she didn’t know what had happened between the two of them in the past, Huang Qi was her agent and she had long regarded him as her friend, so she had to protect him.
With that in mind, Qin Muxuan stood up and pulled Huang Qi behind her. Her cold gaze was directed at Xu Gui like a sharp sword.
“Even if he’s no longer a big name in the entertainment industry, he’s still not someone you can mess with.”
“Since you think you’re better than Huang Qi, I’m sure the artist you bring with you is better than me. After all I’m just a desperate actress.”
Her sharp gaze swept across the girl who was by Xu Gui’s side and who had secretly peeked at her several times. She looked so delicate and Qin Muxuan sneered to herself.
Qin Muxuan knew that the girl pretended to be pure and innocent, but in fact, the malice and jealousy in her eyes could not be concealed.
Qin Muxuan turned around slightly. She stroked her slender finger on the girl’s delicate cheeks. Qin Muxuan’s face revealed a standard smile of a villain. And for a moment, she looked like The Evil Queen.
The girl looked at Qin Muxuan’s gorgeous face and felt the sharp fingertip moving over her cheeks. For a moment, she was a little scared and couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
Qin Muxuan saw that she was afraid. She smiled, squinted and said to Xu Gui.
“In this case, how about we have a bet?”
Xu Gui didn’t expect this weak actress to suddenly become so imposing, but she wasn’t someone who would compromise easily.
“What bet?”
“Since you’re here, you must’ve come for the audition of the second female lead. In that case, let’s bet on who will get the role. What do you think?”
Xu Gui’s eyes lit up. The actress she brought this time was the best one. She was confident that she would definitely win the role of the second female lead.
“Deal!” Xu Gui agreed without thinking too much.
“What will the winner get?”
Qin Muxuan suggested, “How about the winner gets to ask the loser to do something?”
“Okay, great!” That was exactly what Xu Gui wanted and she agreed.
She was certain that she would win, so she said proudly to Huang Qi and Qin Muxuan, “If I win, I will make you kneel in front of me, apologize to me, and lick my shoes!”
She thought that Qin Muxuan would be furious but she didn’t expect that only Huang Qi looked like he was trying to stop himself from getting angry. Not only did the expression on Qin Muxuan face remain unchanged, she even nodded in a leisurely manner, “As long as you could win, there will be no problem for that.”
