Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Sneaking Off to Flirt with Another Man

Yan Fanghua’s resources are still not as good as Qiao Xi’s.

Even having a Movie Queen as a mentor is a good thing.

But Qiao Xi, who has consistently been a leading actress on the big screen for the past two years, doesn’t need a Movie Queen to boost her profile.

Instead, she would have to take a step down.

Is Qiao Xi supposed to play the second female lead?

Impossible.

At least not with Yan Fanghua.

Qiao Xi didn’t want to interject in the grievances between Wang Li and Yan Fanghua, but hearing Yan Fanghua say this, she felt amused.

Qiao Xi gave Wang Li plenty of face, "Sister Li, I’ll listen to you on this."

"Of course you don’t need to." Wang Li scoffed, full of disdain, "After all, you have been the leading actress alongside a Best Actor. People should always aim high, why go lower? As for the Movie Queen, with a little effort, you’re bound to get it."

Qiao Xi kept her laughter in check and nodded seriously, "Mhm, then I’ll strive to bring glory to you, Sister Li."

Wang Li patted Qiao Xi’s shoulder, very satisfied, "Darling, I believe in you, especially since you won the LArtisan endorsement over two Movie Queens."

She looked at Yan Fanghua, emphasizing each word, "I, Wang Li, have nurtured a Movie Queen before, and I can do it again!"

Wang Li rolled her eyes at Yan Fanghua as if to say, what’s so valuable about being a Movie Queen?

Yan Fanghua’s face gradually turned green when she discerned the implication of Wang Li’s words.

The back and forth between the two women was mortifying to her.

Seeing her discomfort, Wang Li felt even more pleased, and couldn’t help but scoff, "My darling doesn’t even fancy a collaboration with you. Could the resources of a GK Entertainment shareholder really be so poor? What do you think, Movie Queen Yan?"

Wang Li stressed the words "Movie Queen."

With that, Wang Li turned to Qiao Xi with a warm expression, "Xixi, let’s go."

"Okay."

Qiao Xi linked arms with Wang Li and left together.

The car waited by the side of the road.

They both got into the car.

Wang Li spat out of the window, "Bad luck."

Qiao Xi found it amusing, "The entertainment industry is just a cycle, so your bad luck days are still far from over."

Hearing this, Wang Li suddenly looked downcast, "Stop it, I’m starting to feel sick."

Being betrayed is disgusting enough, let alone having that person flaunt their presence in front of you as if nothing happened.

Utterly repulsive, right?

Qiao Xi chuckled.

At that moment, Wang Li handed her the phone, "Your phone’s been vibrating non-stop. I’m not sure who’s messaging you."

Qiao Xi unlocked her phone, and it opened to WeChat.

Shen Dang had sent her several messages.

[Boss Shen: Why aren’t you answering your phone?]

[Boss Shen: Are you busy?]

[Boss Shen: Teacher Qiao, take care of me.]

[Boss Shen: Are you hooking up with some other men behind my back?]

[Boss Shen: You really won’t respond to me?]

[Boss Shen: ???]

The last message was from fifteen minutes ago.

Boss Shen sure is persistent.

Qiao Xi felt speechless as she read the last few messages.

She pulled down her notification bar, which showed several missed calls from Boss Shen.

Qiao Xi replied to him via WeChat: [Just finished work.]

As soon as her message sent, Shen Dang’s call came through, giving her no chance to react.

Qiao Xi reluctantly answered the call, leaning back and half-closing her eyes, languid as a cat.

"You’re on set filming?"

Shen Dang hadn’t heard that she was on set, and knowing her to be busy, he was surprised.

Qiao Xi said dismissively, "No, I came to see a fashion show."

"Where are you now? I’ll come pick you up."

Qiao Xi’s voice rose slightly, "You’ll pick me up?"

"Is there a problem?"

"There is a problem," Qiao Xi replied casually, "I’m in Jin City."

The fashion show was held in Jin City.

She had flown to Jin City that morning, and it wasn’t very late yet, but she wasn’t in a hurry to rush back.

She had no work the next day, so she wasn’t pressed for time.

"Tsck," Shen Dang’s voice betrayed a hint of displeasure, "Why didn’t you tell me you were going to Jin City?"

Qiao Xi laughed, "Why would I tell you?"

"I would have gone on a business trip."

His response was uttered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Here we go again!

Is this ploy supposed to be used incessantly?

Qiao Xi didn’t want to talk on the phone anymore, "I’m hanging up if it’s nothing important."

Shen Dang replied with a laugh, his voice deep and nonchalant, "We haven’t spoken much, and you want to hang up already, who taught you that?"

Qiao Xi also laughed, in a very languid way, "Does that need teaching?"

Shen Dang hummed from his throat, "I have something to tell you."

"Well, tell me."

"Cui Wenbai took Chu Wan out of the country."

Qiao Xi paused, raising an eyebrow, "Cui Wenbai actually managed to take Chu Wan away."

"In order to protect Chu Wan and the child in her womb, what can’t be done?" Shen Dang reasoned slowly with a smile.

Once a person has a goal they are after, they’ll find all kinds of ways to achieve it.

"That makes sense."

Shen Dang’s voice suddenly dropped, and his magnetic tone was very enticing, "When are you coming back?"

Qiao Xi instinctively pulled the phone further away, "Tomorrow."

"I’ll pick you up."

"I’ll be heading straight home; it’s too much trouble for you to make a round trip, and at this rate, the driver I hired will be out of a job."

"Fine," Shen Dang conceded, "Then I’ll come to see you tonight."

If it wasn’t known that he was coming to her house to cook for her, others might have let their imaginations run wild.

Qiao Xi: "... I’ve arrived at the hotel; I’m not talking anymore."

"Rest early," Shen Dang deliberately paused, saying in a beguiling tone, "I miss you."

The words "I miss you" traveled through the receiver like an intimate whisper between lovers, tugging at the heartstrings.

Qiao Xi’s cheeks instantly warmed.

She decisively hung up the call and lowered the car window to breathe in some fresh air.

Wang Li, noticing her blush, asked meaningfully, "That was Boss Shen’s call, right?"

The air conditioning was on in the car, so Qiao Xi raised the window back up, calmly affirming with a "Hmm."

Wang Li smiled, "The two of you, when you get remarried, remember to give me a heads-up first."

Don’t keep it a secret from her like last time when they got divorced without giving her time to react.

Remarried?

They hadn’t even officially started dating.

Qiao Xi felt the topic of remarriage was a bit premature.

She spoke calmly, "Not that soon."

...

The next morning, Qiao Xi caught the flight back to Hai City.

When she arrived at the airport, it was already past ten.

The driver took her back to Sheng Birch Mansion.

As the car drove into the residential complex, Qiao Xi saw a familiar car parked outside the gate.

The license plate was unmistakably Qiao Zhenbin’s.

Qiao Xi hadn’t expected Qiao Zhenbin to show up here again.

Considering Qiao Nan knew she had been exploited by Qiao Zhenbin, she must now despise him to the bone.

It was quite a skill for Qiao Zhenbin to make both daughters resent him.

But it only showed that he was reaping what he had sown.

However, he probably realized he could no longer use Qiao Nan, so once again, he turned to her, hoping she would plead on his behalf.

Some people never learn until they hit rock bottom.

Did Qiao Zhenbin think she was still like the little girl who could be appeased with a piece of candy?
