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 still somewhat warm; it seemed they hadn't been up too long before him.

"This lazybones, getting up so early?" Su Yanxi muttered as she got out of bed. "Did the sun rise in the west?"

Without thinking too much, he quickly washed up, changed into a casual yet professional outfit, grabbed a large tote bag, stuffed in the documents and candy he had prepared the night before, and went downstairs.

Downstairs, the servants had already prepared breakfast. Su Yanxi's young male assistant, Lin Xiaohai, was setting the table when he heard footsteps. He looked up and greeted them respectfully.

Good morning, young mistress.

"Good morning." Su Yanxi's gaze swept quickly across the living room and dining room, trying to find Bie Yunzong's figure. "Where is the young master? Hasn't he gotten up and come downstairs?"

“Young Master has already left. He looks very anxious; he didn’t even have time for breakfast,” Lin Xiaohai replied.

This made Su Yanxi even more confused: "In a hurry? I'm someone who's going to audition at the film and television base and I'm not in a hurry, so why is he in such a hurry?"

Lin Xiaohai glanced to the side and, seeing that the servants had finished serving breakfast and left, dared to bend down and whisper in Su Yanxi's ear, "Madam, you seem to have guessed right, the young master really is up to something! He's been acting very strangely lately!"

Lin Xiaohai and Su Yanxi were from the same hometown and neighboring counties, and were distant cousins. Because of this relationship, Su Yanxi took good care of Lin Xiaohai, her younger brother, and Lin Xiaohai also loved being close to Su Yanxi.

Their relationship wasn't so much like that of master and servant, but more like that of cousins. When no one else was around, they would huddle together to gossip and whisper secrets.

"What, you heard him talking to his lover on the phone?" Su Yanxi handed over a new pair of chopsticks, gesturing for Lin Xiaohai to sit down and eat with her.

"No, not at all..." Lin Xiaohai scratched his temple. "I just felt that the young master's whereabouts were not right. I've been working for another company for a year, and I've rarely seen the young master get up and leave so early."

"When you first suspected the young master of having an affair, I didn't quite believe you. But now it's different; I feel you're right."

Su Yanxi snorted coldly: "I've been with him for seven years. How could I not know his habits?"

Lin Xiaohai sighed softly, shoveled a couple of mouthfuls of pork rib porridge into his mouth, and then said with a hint of guilt, "Young Madam, aren't you going to do anything about it? The young master was relatively discreet before, but lately he's been going too far! If you don't do anything, what if his mistress tries to take advantage of you one day?"

"Not at all." Su Yanxi said calmly, blowing on the steaming porridge in front of her. "He just likes beautiful women. At most, he'll have a drink with them, hold their hands and flirt a little. He wouldn't go so far as to be completely honest with them in bed, much less let his mistress cause a scene in front of me."

Lin Xiaohai was puzzled: "Madam didn't install any surveillance cameras on the young master, so how can you be so sure that he won't go down the path of having an affair?"

Su Yanxi smiled mysteriously, her beautiful, slightly narrowed eyes exuding charm.

"I have my own way of considering it."

Lin Xiaohai was so captivated by her beauty that he was momentarily lost in thought, and he couldn't understand why the young master would still cheat on his wife when he already had such a beautiful and kind-hearted young mistress.

No matter how fragrant the wildflowers are, can they compare to the fragrance of the young mistress, a flower blooming on a high mountain?

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's talk about the audition later. He can go wherever he wants, it's none of my business, and I don't care."

Su Yanxi changed the subject, pointing to a handbag on another seat and gesturing for Lin Xiaohai to open it.

"I have two bags of mints in my bag. When we go to the film studio later, be quick-witted; if I give you a wink, give the other person two."

"There will be a lot of veteran actors at the audition. If you don't recognize them, just call out to them with me; if you can't bring yourself to say it, a forced laugh is fine too. Got it?"

Lin Xiaohai quickly finished the small bowl of porridge, put down the bowl, and nodded vigorously: "Mmm!"

"Okay." Su Yanxi casually handed him a tissue. "Wipe your mouth, let's go."

The two people, along with their driver, set off from another house in a grand procession to Huanqi Film and Television Base, located on the outskirts of the city.

The journey was quite long, taking more than an hour by highway, and they were expected to arrive at 9:45. Su Yanxi took a short nap in the back seat of the Bentley; when they were almost at their destination, Lin Xiaohai woke him up to tidy his appearance.

There weren't many cars on the way to the base, but once inside, it was a completely different story – bustling with activity. The driver drove around the three parking areas (A, B, and C) but couldn't find a parking space.

Left with no other option, the driver had to park the car in Zone D, which was some distance from the audition location.

"There are so many people." Su Yanxi glanced at the time. "I hope I'm not too late. If I'm late, the audition judges might already be tired of seeing so many."

He and Lin Xiaohai gathered their belongings and got out of the car from their respective doors.

As soon as he stepped onto the ground, before he could even stand still and figure out his direction, he heard a mocking voice coming from not far to his side.

"Hey, isn't this Su Yanxi, the problem student who was disciplined for the rumors of being kept by a sugar daddy? Long time no see."

Author's Note:

Yanxi: What bad luck!

————————

Lily~ Long time no see, Aomin!

02# Waaah, they actually hung up the phone!

Su Yanxi steadied himself and looked around. Sure enough, it was his arch-nemesis from university.

"Who do we have here? Isn't this Xiang Mingyue, who can't even get into the top ten of his class or make it into the top entertainment industry? Long time no see."

Having been bitter rivals for four years, these two knew each other's weaknesses all too well. Su Yanxi hated it when people mentioned his punishments, while Xiang Mingyue hated it most when people implied that he was incompetent.

Back in school, Xiang Mingyue was someone Su Yanxi completely controlled; now, after years of struggling in the entertainment industry, relying on the connections of various big names and the accumulation of resources, he has barely managed to gain a foothold in the second tier of the entertainment circle. Su Yanxi's comparison of first and second tiers has indeed hit Xiang Mingyue's sore spot.
