Female Partner Became Popular in a Love Show - Chapter 120

Xue Nanjing took a deep breath, quickly regaining his composure. His resilience was beyond Xue Wu and Ruan Qiu’s expectations. He said, “Brother, the people who came today must have been sent by Qin Zhou. From what they said, the old master of the Qin family has a good impression of us. So, I think the old master wouldn’t forcefully take me away.”

“Since the Qin family values the eldest grandson, they might not be able to control me after I come of age, but they’ll definitely try everything to bring me back.” Xue Nanjing looked at Xue Wu, seemingly maturing from his usual lively self. “So, I might as well go with them. It’s only two months until I come of age, and then they can’t control me.”

He knew Xue Wu would definitely object and quickly said, “Brother, I’ve grown up. I can make my own decisions. You’ve always protected me, but now it’s my turn to protect you.”

He smiled at Xue Wu, “Brother, I’m smart. If I go to the Qin family, I’ll make sure I won’t suffer. Let me go, okay?”

Xue Nanjing ran to the sofa, pulling Ruan Qiu up, and asked, “Sister, you agree with my plan, don’t you?”

Ruan Qiu blinked, about to speak, but Xue Wu interjected, “Enough, Xue Nanjing. Don’t use your sister as a shield.”

“Let’s put this aside for now. Think it over, and we’ll talk when the Qin family really comes.” Xue Wu told Xue Nanjing, “I have a variety show to film the day after tomorrow. Stay with Brother Lin until I get back.”

Xue Nanjing nodded, suddenly saying to Xue Wu, “Brother, I feel like eating noodles.”

Xue Wu looked at him, patting his short hair, “I’ll make some.”

Xue Wu turned to Ruan Qiu, “What would you like to eat, Ms. Ruan?”

“Anything is fine,” Ruan Qiu replied.

After Xue Wu went to the kitchen, Ruan Qiu sat back on the sofa, suddenly realizing she was getting involved in someone else’s family matters, and neither party seemed to find it odd.

Ruan Qiu: …

She began to wonder if her business relationship with Xue Wu had already reached this depth.

As she was thinking, Xue Nanjing suddenly sat next to her, quietly saying, “Sister, I just learned my brother suffered so much. He’s stubborn and used to neglect his health, never listening to anyone but you.”

“I see a lot of people online saying you and my brother are just pretending.” Xue Nanjing blinked, saying, “Sister, can you pretend a bit more with my brother? I find he’s especially happy when he’s with you. Please?”

Ruan Qiu: …

So why was she being coaxed by both the old and the young today?

She sighed, patting Xue Nanjing’s head, “Okay. I will.”

Xue Nanjing immediately smiled broadly and bounced to the kitchen to help his brother.

After eating the noodles Xue Wu made, Ruan Qiu was driven home by him. She took out her phone, intending to search for better ways to maintain a business relationship and learn from experienced seniors, when she saw a private message from Qin Shuangyu.

Qin Shuangyu had followed her after the second episode of the show, and she had followed back. Qin Shuangyu’s message said, “Ruan, do you remember the cooperation opportunity with a big director that you didn’t take after the first episode of ‘Please Fall in Love with Me’?”

“Yes,” Ruan Qiu replied.

“He came to me for the female lead role. I knew I wasn’t suitable and turned it down.” Qin Shuangyu continued, “But I think there’s a role in this movie that suits you perfectly. Would you like to take a look?”

Ruan Qiu was about to decline when Qin Shuangyu sent another message, “You can look at the script before deciding. Although it’s a commercial film, the director is very responsible, especially in terms of aesthetics. He’s second to none. This role is really suitable for you. It’s not a lot of work, and the pay is good. You can finish filming by tomorrow. Just take a look, okay?”

After thinking for a moment, Ruan Qiu added Qin Shuangyu’s private contact and accepted the script she sent.

As Qin Shuangyu had said, the role had very few scenes and lines. In the story, the character was like a beacon of hope for the male lead, a senior sister from the same sect who died defending the sect against demonic cultivators trying to find the male lead before he turned to the dark side.

Ruan Qiu only needed to film a fight scene with the extras, say her lines, and then “die”.

She didn’t mind the “death” part since she could distinguish between acting and reality. Moreover, Hengdian, where the movie was being filmed, was next to the location of the second episode of the dating show, a place she had already “cleared” with no danger. However, since she wasn’t short on money, there was no need to take the role, so she politely declined Qin Shuangyu.

But Qin Shuangyu was really eager to see Ruan Qiu in this role. She believed Ruan Qiu would become everyone’s favorite after performing it. After a few seconds of deliberation, she decided to use her trump card, “Ruan, if you need any help, feel free to ask me. I’ll help you if you take this role, okay?”

She sent the message nervously, fearing another rejection from Ruan Qiu. But to her surprise, this time Ruan Qiu didn’t immediately refuse, indicating a possibility.

Qin Shuangyu straightened up, staring at the screen, waiting for Ruan Qiu’s response.

A minute later, Ruan Qiu replied, “Can you teach me some tips on maintaining a pretend relationship?”

Unable to find anything online, Ruan Qiu had discovered plenty of evidence that Qin Shuangyu was a fan of her and Xue Wu’s pretend relationship, even liking and admitting to it.

Xue Wu had also said that Qin Shuangyu was one of the few straightforward people in the industry, interacting only with those she liked and never backstabbing. Feeling that Qin Shuangyu had a good impression of her, Ruan Qiu thought it should be fine to ask for advice.

Qin Shuangyu rubbed her eyes: Is this really something she can ask for? Is this something I can look at?

Ruan Qiu quickly sent another message, “Never mind if you don’t have any. Rest early, Senior.”

Qin Shuangyu immediately responded, “I have, I have!!”

Even if she didn’t, she would get all the tips from her manager and give them to Ruan Qiu.

Qin Shuangyu looked at the screen with maternal affection, chuckling. Ruan Qiu was unknowingly falling for Xue Wu. She wasn’t exaggerating; she had seen all kinds of people in her career and could tell someone’s true nature after one meeting. That was why she particularly liked the pure and genuine Ruan Qiu and Xue Wu.
