"Doesn't this just prove that I'm destined for the role? If you're going to doubt it from this angle, what about Su Yanxi? Did he also study the script beforehand and deliberately time his attendance precisely?"
Before she knew it, Su Yanxi had been dragged into the mess by Xiang Mingyue: "...Me?"
Bie Yunzong, who was in the monitoring room, was furious when he saw this! He never imagined that there could be such a shameless person in the world!
His wife is exceptionally intelligent and possesses outstanding physical attributes. Her acting skills are natural and her understanding of the script is extraordinary! Such a good actress with such excellent acting skills cannot be compared to those who cheat by reading the script in advance.
Pooh!
What's even more infuriating is that that idiot still wouldn't give up and was still being stubborn! Seeing that the chief judge looked unconvinced, he actually reached out and tugged at Su Yanxi's sleeve, playing the old classmate sentiment card: "Yanxi, say something for me!"
Su Yanxi frowned slightly, looking at the hand that Xiang Mingyue was holding, and thought to herself, "What can I say for you? Knowing you as I do, you've definitely gone astray."
Serves you right!
"We bumped into each other in the parking lot, didn't we? I arrived so late, I didn't have time to ask about the script at all!"
Bie Yunzong suddenly woke up and stared at Xiang Mingyue's face, which he couldn't remember. He studied it for a long time and vaguely remembered: hadn't he seen this face in the parking lot of Area A?
Bie Yunzong has a bit of face blindness; aside from his beautiful wife and close friends and relatives, he can't remember most people's faces. Even if he remembered this incident, he still wasn't sure and could only secretly remind the director.
"Uncle He, have the chief judge ask about parking. There are many areas in the film studio where motor vehicles are not allowed to pass. Asking which area the car is parked in will give us a rough idea of when he will arrive."
The director immediately relayed the message to the chief judge.
After the chief judge finished asking his question, Xiang Mingyue fell silent for a moment.
Su Yanxi narrowed her eyes and finally spoke up to ask, "Was your car in Zone D before?"
The parking spaces at the film studio are opened in sections, and the next one will only open when the previous one is full.
"...Didn't I meet you in District D?" Xiang Mingyue avoided the main point, his grip on Su Yanxi's sleeve remaining firm. "You don't believe me?"
“I didn’t see you get out of the car,” Su Yanxi said firmly. “Since I didn’t see you, I can’t be sure you arrived at the same time as me.”
"But I ran into you in Zone D! Doesn't that prove anything?"
"Why don't you just tell me where you parked your car? Why do you need me to prove it for you?"
Su Yanxi's tone gradually turned cold.
"If you don't want to talk about it, why don't you just check the security footage? There are definitely security cameras and time records in the parking lot; you'll know once you take a look."
"Holy crap?" The exclamation came from Bie Yunzong. He had finally managed to sit down again, but then he stood up anxiously and patted Uncle He, saying, "Don't check the surveillance footage! Don't check the surveillance footage!"
His Lamborghini was also in parking lot A! The security footage is confirmed; his wife is definitely going to recognize him!
What if my wife recognizes me? No meat for dinner tonight!
"We cannot check the surveillance footage!" Bie Yunzong emphasized repeatedly.
Fortunately, before the head judge could nod in agreement, Xiang Mingyue's agent broke down and confessed, "Our car is parked in area A because we... arrived early this morning."
The agent explained the whole story to the chief judge, including but not limited to bribing the staff in the audition room, coming to the audition site in advance to gather information, and deliberately loitering around several parking lots to leave as much eyewitness evidence as possible.
Throughout the agent's confession, Xiang Mingyue never let go of Su Yanxi's hand. Even after the agent finished speaking, Xiang Mingyue was still holding onto her.
"Su Yanxi, you're quite pleased with yourself, aren't you?" Xiang Mingyue lowered his voice, radiating endless hostility towards Su Yanxi. "If this counts as reaping what you sowed, then you should also watch out—you and I will both face retribution sooner or later."
"Oh, why?"
Su Yanxi responded in a low voice as well, and with a little force, he shook off Xiang Mingyue's hand.
Xiang Mingyue, his arm swung back as he was thrown aside, said, "Those who seek out sugar daddies never end well. As someone who's been there, I'm just giving you a heads-up."
"Sugar daddy? Who's looking for a sugar daddy?" Su Yanxi spread her hands innocently. "Don't compare me to you."
He returned the script to the judges' table and bowed in gratitude.
Xiang Mingyue relentlessly pursued her, clinging to Su Yanxi's shoulder and continuing to unleash his hostility: "Stop pretending to be stupid and acting all high and mighty. It's all about who has the bigger backing, and it's hard to say who has the bigger backing."
Chapter 8
"Backer?" Su Yanxi turned around and rolled her eyes at Xiang Mingyue. "You've really misunderstood. I don't have any backers."
He gently nudged Xiang Mingyue aside, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"If I had to say, I am my own backer."
At nine o'clock at night, Bie Rongzong sneaked back home.
He slung the roses he offered as an apology over his back and carefully pushed open the heavy door with his other hand. Before he could even peek inside and spot his wife, a loud greeting came from the side.
"Good evening, young master!"
Bie Yunzong clicked his tongue lightly, glared at him, and muttered angrily, "Get lost. Shouting so loudly in the middle of the night, are you afraid my soul will leave my body? Get out of here."
That new male servant is so oblivious! He's being so careful, can't he see that he's worried about his wife?
Bie Yunzong spitted inwardly, took the flowers and headed towards the living room, thinking he'd get a drink of water before looking for his wife.
The living room was located at the bottom of the spiral staircase. Bie Yunzong had only walked halfway in when he heard his wife calling from above.
"Who came home so late? Not only did they not say hello, but they also dared to be so irritable?" Su Yanxi said leisurely.
Bie Yunzong quickly put on a smiling face and apologized to his wife, who was standing high up on the stair railing, through the stair railing: "Wife, I'm sorry, I'm late."
Su Yanxi stopped going downstairs and looked at him irritably: "You still have the nerve to say that? You leave early and come home late every day, I don't know what you do all day."
“It was my friend’s birthday, so I went out to hang out with him for the day,” Bie Yunzong said as he ran to find his wife, making up an excuse on the spot. “I sneaked back halfway through karaoke that night.”
In fact, he stayed with the "Red Flower" crew until the audition was over, and only went home after having dinner with the directors. If he hadn't wanted to ask the director about the lead actor casting during dinner, he wouldn't have stayed out so late.
Su Yanxi snorted coldly: "Oh?"
Just moments ago, Bie Yunzong was acting like a grumpy young master, but now he's transformed into a pitiful puppy, delivering flowers to his wife.
"I know I did something wrong, so I bought you flowers! Look, look, how beautiful these Bulgarian white roses are!"
Bie Yunzong had originally planned to confess to Su Yanxi tonight, but seeing that his wife was in a so-so mood, he decided to wait until the TV series was finished filming before doing so.
"What, are you cursing me to die by sending me white roses?" Su Yanxi pouted.
Bie Yunzong's face fell: "How could I bear to? It's just for looks..."
The big, smelly dog looked so wronged that Su Yanxi couldn't bear to stay angry any longer: "Alright, alright, come here."
He softened his tone and waved to Bie Yunzong.
Upon receiving the instruction, Bie Yunzong immediately strode up the steps, carrying the flowers, and happily went to Su Yanxi's side, embracing his beautiful wife tightly: "Wife~"
"Hmm." Su Yanxi replied, raising her hand to pat the stinky dog's face. "Have you had dinner yet? Are you full?"
"I'm full." Bie Yunzong snuggled against his wife's shoulder and led her towards the bedroom. "But there's still room for some meat!"
Su Yanxi poked Bie Yunzong hard between the eyebrows: "You haven't changed your clothes or taken a shower, and you still have the nerve to talk to me?"
"What's there to be embarrassed about?"
After passing through the living room, Bie Yunzong hurriedly pushed Su Yanxi into the bedroom, heading straight for the bed.
"What's there to be embarrassed about with my wife? I'm perfectly comfortable with it—I'm perfectly comfortable with it!"
"I want you to help me change my clothes, and I also want to take a bath with you!"
Let's see, isn't it time to unleash our inner beast tonight? If we don't, I'm sure I'll be dying of pent-up desire!
To Bie Yunzong's surprise, his beautiful wife not only refused his request, but also gently pried off his arm that was around her waist.
Su Yanxi got off and sat down on the sofa by the bed, her tone suddenly becoming serious and solemn.
"Before that, I have something else to talk to you about. Please sit down and let me finish."
Author's Note:
Doghoo was shocked: Does this mean... we're not having any meat tonight?
My heart is filled with nothing but the desire to eat meat!
————————
Thank you Xuan Dong Shi Ba for the 1+1 cup of Dou Dou Bo Bo Tea! The weather is getting colder and colder, so let's have something warm and sweet~
05# At least eating meat didn't lead to cheating on him and going to bed with him.
"What exactly happened?"
Bie Yunzong obediently sat down next to Su Yanxi, his head drooping and ears hanging down.
"Honey, you're not going to yell at me, are you?"
Su Yanxi watched Bie Yunzong's movements, frowned, and asked, "Why do you think I'm going to scold you?"
He didn't actually intend to scold Bie Yunzong; he just wanted to lighten the mood with a harmless joke before announcing the good news, and incidentally—test Bie Yunzong's background.
Don't let him act like this. He looks like a big dog that has come home from digging in the garden, with dirty fur and droopy ears. He looks guilty all over.
Such an attitude made Su Yanxi even more suspicious.
"Did you do something wrong?" Su Yanxi pressed.
Bie Yunzong hesitated, "I...don't know?"
Su Yanxi narrowed her eyes slightly: "You don't know?"
"I really don't know!" Bie Yunzong said aggrievedly, snuggling up to Su Yanxi and starting to act like a puppy. "If it's because I leave early and come back late, I've already apologized, haven't I?"
"Honey, stop teasing me. Just tell me straight. Is it good news or bad news?"
Su Yanxi snorted softly: "Guess."
Bie Yunzong lowered his voice even further, "Good news? You can't possibly guess it's bad news..."
The big, timid dog was so funny that Su Yanxi couldn't help but laugh: "It's a good thing. The crew of 'Red Flower' called me and asked me to schedule a time for a makeup and costume fitting."
"Although they didn't say the audition results directly, it's most likely a sure thing."
"Wow!" Bie Yunzong cheered soullessly, taking the opportunity to steal a kiss on Su Yanxi's cheek. "That's awesome, wife! I knew you could do it!"
Bie Yunzong had already learned the news at the dinner party that evening, and was neither surprised nor astonished.
Chapter 9
"Hmm~"
