Quick Wear: Domineering System on Your Own
Chapter 73 The Venomous CEO in the Love Story 27
Bai Xingzhu was lost in thought when her phone suddenly rang. She picked up the phone and saw it was Sister Lan. After answering, Sister Lan's voice came through clearly: "Xingzhu, you don't need to participate in that variety show anymore. Finish filming the drama you're working on first."
Upon hearing this news, Bai Xingzhu was momentarily startled, then a wave of relief welled up in her. This seemed to offer her a brief respite. This was all good, she thought. Focusing on filming the drama, immersing herself completely in the work, might temporarily help her forget the complex feelings that lingered.
With the announcement of "Love 100 Points", netizens were completely unable to sit still.
"How could this happen? Why did they all quit?"
"Xiaojiu and Lu Duidui are outsiders, so they're probably busy with their own careers. What a pity!"
"Is my CP going to break up again?"
"No! I haven't recovered from Shen Jiqing yet, and now Bai Xingzhu and the others have also withdrawn."
"I still like the original cast."
"How annoying! All the people I recently became fans of are gone."
In the following days, Bai Xingzhu devoted all his energy to the intense filming without hesitation.
Her scene today is quite important, mainly describing that she is on the verge of collapse. At this time, the heroine reaches out to her and the two drink together on the roadside.
"Is it my fault that I'm pretty? Is it illegal for me to wear a skirt? Why do they spread rumors?" Shen Xing was drunk, but he continued to drink, as if only by numbing himself could he forget the rumors.
She raised her head, stared blankly at the passing cars and murmured, "What did I do wrong?" A tear rolled down her cheek.
"Cut! Good, this one passed." The director walked over to Bai Xingzhu and praised, "Xingzhu's emotional expression was very good."
She hadn't fully recovered from her previous emotions yet. After a while, she smiled and said, "Shen Xing's experience is very similar to mine, so I understand how she feels."
On the other hand, Lu Huai appeared at the door of Ling's villa very punctually every day, and Shi Er invited him into the house as usual.
After Lingjiu cleaned herself up, she saw Lu Huai sitting and reading a newspaper and raised an eyebrow and said, "You seem quite used to it."
Seeing her come downstairs and put down the newspaper, Lu Huai walked up to her and replied as a matter of course: "What's there to be unaccustomed to when returning to your own home?"
Ling Yuan was choked by his words and kept coughing: "How come I didn't know when you became so shameless!"
Lu Huai said disapprovingly: "Brother! Wear more clothes when the temperature drops, don't pass the cold to Xiaojiu."
I have to say that Ling Yuan was very happy when he heard the word "big brother". He stopped talking and continued reading the newspaper.
Ling Yuan was initially worried about the relationship between the two of them. After all, he was worried about leaving his beloved sister with someone else. But after observing her for a while, he found that Lu Huai was a pretty good person.
Lu Huai is a sincere person who cares deeply about Lingjiu and has his own career aspirations. Gradually, Ling Yuan becomes less opposed to their relationship and begins to turn a blind eye. Thinking that Lu Huai will always call him brother, Ling Yuan feels an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
Bai Xingzhu and Shen Jiqing met again at the crew's wrap dinner. She had a few drinks and was about to go out for some fresh air when she bumped into the equally drunk Shen Jiqing at the door. Their eyes met, and a look of surprise crossed their lips.
After not seeing him for several months, he looked much more mature than before, with dark circles under his eyes appearing slightly darker. Bai Xingzhu smiled and gently greeted him, "Mr. Shen, long time no see!"
He was about to say something when a voice called out from behind him: "Boss Shen, what are you doing?"
Bai Xingzhu waved at him and turned back to the box.
Bai Xingzhu had thought that after so long, she had already let him go. However, when she saw him again, she still felt a wave of sadness in her heart.
Then, she picked up her glass and began toasting the director and the cast members one glass after another. Her drunken appearance was no different from her usual self. The actress who played the female lead asked with concern, "Xingzhu, are you okay? Do you want me to take you home?"
Bai Xingzhu shook her head gently and said, "I'm fine. I can handle it myself. Thank you."
"Okay then! If you have anything, be sure to call me!"
As the crowd gradually dispersed, Bai Xingzhu slowly stood up and walked out. If it weren't for her slightly frivolous steps, it would be hard to tell she was drunk. Her figure seemed lonely under the light, her thoughts a tangled mess. The moment they met again was like a stone dropped into the lake of my heart, causing ripples that took a long time to calm down.
She slowly walked to the door, took out her phone, and swiped her finger across the screen for a long time, but she couldn't unlock it. Just as she was filled with anxiety, her phone was suddenly taken away. She looked up in surprise and saw the familiar figure of Shen Jiqing.
"You can drink quite a lot?" Shen Jiqing's slightly hoarse voice came slowly, as if carrying a hint of imperceptible concern.
Bai Xingzhu lowered his eyes slightly and responded in a muffled voice: "It's none of your business." Although there was stubbornness in his tone, he could not hide the complex emotions in his heart.
Shen Jiqing stuffed his phone into his pocket, then opened his arms and hugged her tightly. "Xingzhu, I miss you so much." His voice was low and full of affection, and it was particularly moving in the quiet night.
Bai Xingzhu didn't struggle, letting him hold her. At that moment, tears welled up in her eyes like a flood. She felt as if she had been poisoned, and only an antidote named Shen Jiqing could save her. She stood there quietly, feeling his embrace, as if time had stopped at that moment, and only the sound of their two heartbeats echoed in the night.
"Why did you suddenly quit the entertainment industry?" Bai Xingzhu asked softly.
Shen Jiqing still held her tightly, gently stroking her hair, and slowly replied: "My father is ill and in the hospital. I must take responsibility and take over the company."
Hearing this, Bai Xingzhu gently pushed him away and asked with concern, "How is your father's health now?"
"It's much better now, but I can't worry about it too often." Shen Jiqing nodded slightly.
Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol that made Bai Xingzhu unable to resist asking, "Why didn't you contact me for so long?"
Shen Jiqing fell into deep thought, seemingly weighing his response. After a moment, he spoke, "Xingzhu, I've fallen in love with you, but I can't miss you. I'm afraid I'll lose control and abandon everything to find you. After my father's death, the people in the company have been eyeing me covetously. The company needs me, and I can't destroy the legacy of my ancestors. I've given myself a three-month deadline: I must get the company back on track, and then I'll find you."
Bai Xingzhu stared at him blankly and murmured, "So you're planning to look for me."
Shen Jiqing nodded heavily: "I didn't expect to meet you today. Now I don't want to wait anymore, not even for a minute." After that, he hugged Bai Xingzhu in his arms again.
Bai Xingzhu, feeling the weight of the weight, slowly opened her eyes. She felt something, then stared blankly at the ceiling. Recalling the scene from last night, her face flushed. Oh my god! What on earth had she done last night? After listening to Shen Jiqing's explanation, she had actually taken him to a hotel, booked a room, and even raped him.
She slowly turned her head and saw Shen Jiqing's handsome face sleeping soundly. His dark circles were still very heavy, which showed that he had been very hard recently.
She got up carefully, picked up her clothes from the ground and put them on. She looked everywhere for her phone but couldn't find it. After a while, she finally found her phone in Shen Jiqing's pocket. Then, she quietly opened the door and ran away.
She had been drinking too much last night, so she wasn't ready to lie naked in bed with him after sobering up, so she decided to play the ostrich for a few days.
