Chapter 40: Untitled Chapter

Untitled Chapter

At first, after a tiring day, Shen Xingman wanted to fall into a sweet sleep.

But you have to know that not everything in this world goes as one wishes. For example, Qiao Yun sat at the bedside while she closed her eyes.

Shen Xingman first stared lifelessly at the ceiling, then turned her head: "Is there something, Qiao Qiao?"

She was asking with a knowing attitude.

Qiao Yun smiled kindly at her: "Did you see that someone today?"

"..."—just that.

"No."

The "that someone" she mentioned must refer to Mu Zhihan; after thinking it over, there couldn't be anyone else.

"Why is there none???" Qiao Yun, not quite understanding, whooshed into her blanket and asked, "Shouldn't he have teased you?"

In an extremely flippant tone.

"..."

"Qiao Qiao, listen as I analyze," Shen Xingman leaned against her pillow, gesturing, "I, because I'm too beautiful, caught the attention of your family's beauty, and he has taken a special liking to me."

"But—" the turning point came, Shen Xingman gestured, "Mr. Mu is a super powerful big boss, he's very busy; how could he have time to deal with us low‑level workers in the entertainment circle?"

"Qiao Qiao, you don't really think that just because Mr. Mu said a couple of words to me, he likes me, do you? You forgot how the world evaluated him before he left the circle," Shen Xingman cleared her throat, feeling the next words were insincere, "He shuns women, a celibate deity."

Qiao Yun fell silent.

"What you say isn't without reason," she frowned as she listened, "Clearly, he's such a proper person; if he truly wanted to indulge in debauchery, rumors would have spread long ago, and those marketing accounts would still be using a beauty to boost their numbers now."

When he hadn't left the circle, he was stunningly beautiful, like a celestial being; now as a civilian, he's still unbelievably handsome.

Qiao Yun thought again: "But the way he flirted with you that night didn't seem like a joke; that look, that voice—he's practically a dream boyfriend."

Shen Xingman: "..." As she kept talking, she suddenly became a fangirl.

"You know, Manman, every time I read romance novels, I picture a beautiful face; it feels so real."

Shen Xingman: "..."

"Sigh, I'm really, really curious what his wife looks like," Qiao Yun couldn't stop gossiping, "Why did he marry so early? Could it be a family alliance? I heard that's trendy in the wealthy circles."

"Um," Shen Xingman pretended to know nothing, "It's possible."

Qiao Yun suddenly pulled out her phone, opened the album, and the screen showed a picture of a firm waistline, "Look at this—doesn't it look like the strong waist from a novel?"

Eight‑pack abs, mermaid line, wild and sexy; every groove is a symbol of hormones.

"..."

"The immersion is strong; I already feel the pain."

Miaomiao ominously said something, giving Shen Xingman a sudden fright.

"Whoa," Qiao Yun looked up at the Miaomiao by the bed, "What kind of fierce words are those?"

Miaomiao's dark eyes stared at the two of them, "Having an affair behind my back?????"

Shen Xingman: "...?!"

Qiao Yun: "...?!"

The next moment, Miaomiao sprang onto the bed, forcefully separating the two, and sat in the middle: "You didn't even bring me into the gossip?"

"..."

Shen Xingman: "..."

She really just wants to get a good sleep!

"Oh dear," Qiao Yun obediently explained, "You were just scrolling that little site earlier, so I didn't invite you."

"Fine, I'll join your chat now," Miaomiao tucked her little paws, first looking at Shen Xingman, then at Qiao Yun, with a look that said, "If you don't talk, I won't leave."

"..."

Qiao Yun silently put away her phone: "Actually, we were indeed discussing your husband just now."

"My husband?" Miaomiao raised an eyebrow, "Oh, the beauty."

Qiao Yun nodded, unembarrassed: "We were discussing whether he's actually a virgin."

Because Miaomiao didn't know Mu Zhihan was already married, this topic might be a bit… unsuitable for her.

"I think maybe he is," Miaomiao offered her opinion, analyzing wildly, "After all, my husband has always shunned women; back in the entertainment circle there were countless beauties, yet I never saw him involved in any scandal, not even a screen first kiss, let alone dating."

Miaomiao: "Do you still remember the former queen of cinema, Yin Lan? She publicly confessed and was rejected, netizens mocked her, calling her a toad wanting to eat swan meat."

Qiao Yun didn't deny: "Honestly, the beauty's fans are truly fierce; they've never lost a verbal battle, absolutely the ceiling of domestic entertainment combat power."

"So," Miaomiao concluded logically, "There are two points: the beauty is a virgin, and the beauty doesn't like women."

Shen Xingman: "???"

Ah, right, right, I'm male, I'm male; from now on call me Brother Shen, not Manman any more, okay.

Qiao Yun: "Why doesn't he like women?"

"He's clearly already married!"

Miaomiao matter‑of‑factly said, "Because when you can't have it, you just bend it."

"..."

Shen Xingman suddenly blurted out, "I actually hope he bends it."

Miaomiao: "?"

Qiao Yun: "Why?"

"..." Can you not explain why?

Half a month later, Shen Xingman went to Yuanjing to shoot an endorsement promo video.

Yuanjing's flagship style is: romantic and upscale.

Moreover, Shen Xingman's style is versatile; she definitely has absolute control over this look, and any flashy things put on her have a unique beauty.

Besides, Gu Qiuyan hired a top-notch makeup team, so Shen Xingman doesn't have to worry about any styling mishaps at all.

She only needs to be as beautiful as a flower; everything else is left to Yanjing.

Halfway through the shoot, Miaomiao sat beside her, wiping Shen Xingman's sweat, while admiring her own fairy's stunning profile and pulling out her phone to take a few pictures.

Shen Xingman hasn't had any new dramas airing lately; releasing some new material appropriately can keep her visibility up.

So soon, a fresh nine-grid selfie was out.

【This woman finally remembered her Weibo password.】

【Today the team leader praised me, saying I operate the sewing machine very well, saying I have talent and am suited to work here; he doesn't know that I actually have no talent, and the frequency of my pedaling is just my slow, lingering heartbeat.】

【She can always make a bunch of people lose their minds with her flirtation, but she never responds directly, just outrightly being a jerk; everyone should just disperse, let me bear this doomed hurtful relationship—I'm willing.】

【I don't miss you at all; I'll miss you again at 1:30.】

【My wife is back in business; this look is absolutely gorgeous!】

【Is this the new drama's look? Wow, how can it be so good???】

【……】

The comment section will definitely have a bunch of people praising.
