Chapter 1620 - 1602
Yunxi snorted coldly, rolled her eyes at Nangong Yunxi, and then turned around and walked out.
Nangong Yunxi watched Yunxi’s departing figure and remained silent for a while.
What he was recalling in his mind wasn’t whether Yunxi had heard their conversation, but rather the fact that the three-month deadline was about to be reached. If his plans couldn’t be completed by then, the return of Nangong Man Sha would also pose a significant risk.
Nangong Yunxi took a deep breath, turned around, and returned to his bedroom.
Upon pushing the door open, there was a faint scent in the room, the fragrance of Yunxi’s usual perfume.
Although Yunxi didn’t usually sleep in this room and only came over when he needed, his sense of smell was naturally sensitive. Even if the lingering scent in the room wasn’t strong, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to detect it, but he could smell it clearly.
He walked to the balcony, opened the window to dispel the smell from the room, and felt the cold wind on his body. He closed the window after a while.
As he closed the window, he inadvertently glanced downstairs. His apartment was a small duplex building.
The building wasn’t tall, so he could see the scene downstairs at a glance. He noticed a familiar figure passing by in the corner and narrowed his eyes.
If he remembered correctly, that figure should be Ye Chen!
Ha, found me so quickly.
At that moment downstairs.
Nangong Yunxi wasn’t mistaken; the person was indeed Ye Chen. He didn’t come here intentionally but had a house arranged here by Jian Chunqiu. Bored, he decided to explore the area.
Unexpectedly, he saw Xia Xuan’s figure and was curious why Xia Xuan was here, so he followed over.
Ye Chen didn’t notice Nangong Yunxi upstairs; he simply stood there quietly, watching Xia Xuan’s departing figure, and then turned to glance at the apartment Xia Xuan had come out of.
Yunxi happened to walk out from inside, making eye contact with Ye Chen. Yunxi cast a cold glance at Ye Chen, hugged her book, and left.
Ye Chen touched his nose, placed his hands on his waist, and clicked his tongue—have domestic beauties become so stunning now?
He chuckled lightly, glanced up at the floor again, feeling like there was a gaze from the shadows always watching him.
After a moment of silence, he scratched his head and then left.
Even after he left, Nangong Yunxi stood above, watching him, pondering that his return this time must have a purpose directed towards them.
...
Chu Ge came out of the Gambling Stone Field, feeling truly bored and decided to go to the city center for a stroll, only to run into someone—an unavoidable person.
Han Wanwan stepped off her car in a bright red coat and saw Chu Ge instantly. She cast a cold glance at him and then, as if not recognizing him, walked right past him.
Chu Ge was a bit surprised but felt secretly relieved.
However, just as he took a few steps, Han Wanwan turned back.
Han Wanwan angrily glared at Chu Ge. She was initially pretending to be aloof, expecting Chu Ge to apologize to her personally, but to her surprise, Chu Ge didn’t pay her any mind—how infuriating.
The spirit ignited within her, and she turned and dashed towards Chu Ge, glaring at him furiously, saying, "Chu Ge, what are you playing at here?"
Chu Ge looked confused, "Miss, I don’t understand what you’re saying."
Han Wanwan flipped her hair, her face adorned with delicate makeup. Indeed, with a woman like Han Wanwan, any man would fall for her, but unfortunately, Chu Ge wasn’t like other men, and moreover, he was already committed and wouldn’t easily be swayed by other women.
"What am I saying? Last time the director gave you the script and asked you to help act, why didn’t you accept?"
Han Wanwan stood firm and glared at him, her gaze sharp and unwavering. Even if she couldn’t defeat Chu Ge physically, she wouldn’t lose in demeanor.
Chu Ge looked at her with a slightly amused expression, "Miss Han, don’t you think you’re being a bit funny?"
"What do you mean?"
"For someone as popular as you, isn’t there anyone willing to act with you? You had to find me?"
Chu Ge shook his head slightly, speaking with a certain helplessness, "Not to mention I don’t know how to act; even if I did, do you think I’d let you bully me?"
Han Wanwan pressed her lips tight—oh no, her little ploys were seen through by Chu Ge!
She coughed lightly, feeling slightly embarrassed, "Actually, there’s no need to say you’re being bullied. Yesterday, the director just gave me a script. It’s about an officer; would you like to take a look?"
Chu Ge raised an eyebrow, "Is that the real reason you stopped me?"
Han Wanwan scoffed, "No way, I just felt it necessary to clarify I wasn’t trying to make you act just to mistreat you."
She winked at Chu Ge, signaling he was thinking too much.
Chu Ge chuckled, "Then what is it? Don’t tell me you’re actually comfortable acting with me."
Han Wanwan’s lips twitched, "Are you being narcissistic?"
Chu Ge shrugged indifferently, "If you want to call it narcissism, then so be it."
Han Wanwan was quite exasperated, "So do you want to act or not? The lead role remuneration this time is thirty million, and the director wants to promote newcomers. I think you fit well, and I sincerely want to invite you to participate."
Thirty million, for him, if it were in his previous world, he wouldn’t care at all, but in this current world, what he lacks most is money.
If the thirty million came, he could use it to invest and start a business. If he can’t return to his world, to establish roots and survive here, he can’t just rely on others forever.
Reflecting on this, Chu Ge grew silent, starting to hesitate. Even though he wasn’t fond of this method, he had never felt such a pressing need for money.
Seeing him silent, Han Wanwan knew he was wavering and continued, "Actually, the role is simple; I think it’s very suitable for you."
Chu Ge puzzled, "Suitable for me?"
"Yes, very suitable for you—cool, domineering, and quite unreasonable."
Han Wanwan articulated carefully.
Chu Ge’s mouth twitched—the comparison...
"Fine. Since you said it’s suitable for me, show me the script then."
Chu Ge coughed lightly, somewhat unwillingly.
Han Wanwan, seeing him agree, hurriedly linked her arm with his, saying, "Come on, I’ll take you to see the script."
The script was in the car. Once in the car, Han Wanwan tossed the script in front of him, saying, "Take your time reading. If you want to act, I’ll take you to meet the director."
