Chapter 1
#1's whereabouts are either due to infidelity or ghostly encounters.
Late at night, in another villa in the northern part of the capital.
After washing up, Su Yanxi sat in front of the dressing table, mechanically applying face cream to her face and silently reciting the acting tips she had learned in class while looking in the mirror.
"First, read the script to find the core message, then immerse yourself in the scene and appreciate the true meaning..."
Su Yanxi felt extremely anxious because she was going to participate in the public audition for "When the Red Flower is in Full Bloom" tomorrow.
This large-scale TV series, co-invested by CCTV, not only boasts a luxurious production team and is backed by CCTV for quality assurance, but it will also definitely be broadcast on satellite TV—premiering on CCTV!
Therefore, it is foreseeable that tomorrow's audition will be a bloody and fierce scene.
The more Su Yanxi imagined the intense scene tomorrow, the more uneasy he felt. His thoughts were so preoccupied that he was completely oblivious to the tall figure quietly approaching from the side.
"—Wife!"
The tall figure suddenly pounced, hugging Su Yanxi like a koala, nuzzling her affectionately.
"Honey, smells good!"
Su Yanxi was startled and then looked closely at Bie Yunzong's grinning, unserious face. He immediately lost his temper.
"Don't touch me." He tried to push away the clingy dog that was clinging to him. "I have to get up early tomorrow, I don't have time to flirt with you."
"It won't hurt you to give me a hug." Bie Yunzong wouldn't let go, and he leaned close to Su Yanxi's ear to take a deep sniff, revealing a lecherous smile, "Wife, you smell so good? I want to bite you."
Fearing that this stinky dog might actually get serious, Su Yanxi hurriedly covered the side of her neck and glared at Bie Yunzong: "You want me to go to the audition tomorrow with a bite mark on my face?"
Su Yanxi was already exquisitely beautiful, her features seemingly sculpted by Nuwa according to the most golden ratio.
According to Bie Yunzong, president of the Appearance-Obsessed Association and head of Su Yanxi's fan club, his wife's face is more like a work of art than a work of art: every detail is perfect and impeccable, worthy of careful appreciation!
Even if Su Yanxi was glaring at Bie Yunzong seriously, Bie Yunzong couldn't sense his wife's fierce aura. He could only think, "My wife is so beautiful—she's beautiful even when she's glaring at me!"
"If you're willing, that's not impossible."
Bie Yunzong didn't dare to actually bite, but instead gently stroked Su Yanxi's nape with his lips as if he were taking advantage of her.
"Honey, I've been ignored by you for a week now. When are you going to give me meat again?"
Su Yanxi pushed Bie Yunzong away with some effort, closed the cream lid, and stood up: "Let's talk about it after the audition."
They've been in love for seven years, and that stinky dog is still as clingy as ever, leaving Su Yanxi often at her wits' end.
However, thanks to Bie Yunzong's persistent clinginess, Su Yanxi's anxiety was significantly relieved. Important matters that had been forgotten were also brought back to her mind.
Are you free tomorrow? I'd like to visit my aunt's house.
“Last week was her 60th birthday, and I gave her a set of emerald jewelry in both our names. Afterwards, she said it was too expensive and wanted to give us a diamond necklace as a return gift. You can go pick it up first thing tomorrow morning.”
Bie Yunzong, who had been eagerly following behind Su Yanxi, frowned upon hearing this: "Ah... tomorrow?"
"You have something to do tomorrow?" Su Yanxi paused in her act of pulling back the covers, turning to look at Bie Yunzong with a puzzled expression. "Going to the company to familiarize yourself with the business?"
Bie Yunzong stammered, neither saying yes nor no, and abruptly avoided the topic: "Do I really have to go get it? Can't I just have someone bring it over?"
“It’s not appropriate. Diamond jewelry is too valuable to be given as a gift by an outsider; besides, it’s a return gift from an elder, so it’s more polite to pick it up in person,” Su Yanxi explained.
He remained expressionless, but in reality, he was suspicious and curious about what his nemesis husband had planned for tomorrow.
Go to the company? Impossible. My older brother handles the company affairs, and Bie Yunzong isn't a diligent or attentive person; after going to the card office last week, he won't be going again for at least half a month.
Having dinner with friends? Possibly. But whether they are genuine friends or just drinking buddies, only the person in question knows for sure.
Although Su Yanxi has been busy taking acting classes and has spent a lot of energy preparing for auditions, he still noticed that Bie Yunzong was acting strangely lately.
He's never home, and when I call him, he can't get through. When I send him a WeChat message, it takes forever to get a response.
Based on past experience, if you don't allow it, it's either infidelity or something supernatural!
"Whatever you want." With that thought, Su Yanxi lost interest in arguing with Bie Yunzong. She pulled the covers over herself and lay down on her side, no longer continuing the conversation. "If you're not going, I'll drive there after the audition."
"No, that's too tiring!"
The big radish was quite considerate, and followed him into the quilt, snuggling up to him for help.
"I'll go. I... I'll definitely remember to pick it up after I'm done with my business."
Su Yanxi lay on her side with her eyes closed, thinking to herself, "You're just a lazy, good-for-nothing rich kid. What's so great about you? You're probably busy with some lover."
He didn't show his dissatisfaction, but simply pulled the blanket up to cover half his face and ended the conversation abruptly: "Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm going to sleep now."
More than whether Bie Yunzong cheated on her, Su Yanxi was more concerned about tomorrow's audition.
You can catch a mistress anytime—or not, since it won't affect him anyway. But the chance to audition only comes once.
If he can secure the lead role in "When the Red Flower Blooms," he will have the confidence to sign with the top agent and complete the most crucial piece of his comeback plan.
After disappearing from the public eye for four years, he finally found the right opportunity to showcase the fruits of his labor during this period of reflection. And this time—this one and only time—he was determined to succeed.
We must take it down.
At eight o'clock the next day, Su Yanxi woke up on time to the sound of her alarm clock.
He rubbed his eyes, propped himself up on the bed, and after only five seconds of blank staring, he realized something was wrong.
Chapter 2
Where are they...?
The person beside him was nowhere to be seen. Touching the empty bed, he found it s
