Chapter 274 I Don’t Think I Can Wait for Much LongerAh Sha blushed furiously. She had been sleeping in the same bed as Xunxun all this while. Even so, all Xunxun had done was give her a little hug, a chaste kiss, or something of a more platonic nature. But when she returned to China this time, she realized that her man had suddenly become insatiable.
As she allowed her thoughts to stray, she noticed that Xunxun had already picked her up from the floor. Moments later, he poked his head under her shirt.
“Ah…”
“Arms around my neck,” Xunxun ordered in a muffled voice.
Ah Sha was just about to voice out her denial when she felt the hands on her waist loosening. She gasped and clung tightly to the man with her arms around her neck and her legs around his waist.
Righ then, Ah Sha felt as though there was a raging firestorm inside her chest. Instantly, her body grew taut and stiff. But moments later, she went limp as all she felt all the strength leaving her body; Xunxun held her body as they both collapsed into a heap onto the living’s room white carpet.
“Xunxun… Xunxun, I feel weird,” Ah Sha said.
Ah Sha felt as if there was something trying to crawl its way out from inside her body. The sensation, a combination of an ache and an itch, gathered in her lower belly. Her hips rose as she arched her back instinctively.
Xunxun raised his head, his hands already sliding under Ah Sha’s skirt. “Babe, hurry up and grow up, please. I don’t think I can wait for much longer.” After that, he pulled Ah Sha into a sitting position and began peppering her neck with slow kisses.
“You…” Ah Sha, who was experiencing lust for the first time in her life, still had a playful look on her face when she glared at Xunxun. “We’ll sleep in separate rooms,” she said, having noticed the hardness that had been poking at her derriere since just now. “Aren’t you going to feel worse like this?”
While he readjusted Ah Sha’s clothing, Xunxun took the opportunity to pepper her chest with kisses. After a long while, he finally released her, though from his eyes it was clear that he was far from sated. “I’m going to take a shower,” Xunxun said. “Why don’t you go check out your room?”
“No more kissing!” Ah Sha leaped away to avoid his lips. “Hurry up and go take your shower.”
Xunxun stood up. “Leave the bags to me. I’ll bring them up later. Just go check out your room!”
Seeing Ah Sha skipping down the hallway to her room, the man glanced down helplessly at the massive bulge in his pants. “Yeah, it’s going to be a long night,” he thought before entering the bathroom.
As usual, Xunxun had covered Ah Sha’s bedroom in pink. A laugh escaped Ah Sha’s lips as her fingers trailed along the room’s satiny wallpaper. Ah Sha had known from a long time ago that she was a lucky person; she had parents who loved her as well as a lover who had looked after her since a young age.
The smile on her face faded away. If only her mommy could stand up. Then, her family would really be picture-perfect.
Ah Sha balled her fists. There was no need to hurry. She would definitely find the prescription and help mommy stand up again!
Ah Sha ran back to the living room and dragged her suitcase into her room. After that, she began unpacking and filling the closet with her clothes. Xunxun had prepared a walk-in closet for her, inside of which contained clothes, bags, and pieces of jewelry from any brand one could think of.
Ah Sha had never doubted Xunxun’s tastes. While she worked on hanging her clothes into the closet, Ah Sha surveyed all the items she found inside. Once done, she booted her laptop and saw an incoming video call.
She clicked on the familiar avatar and almost instantly, a teasing male voice sounded.
“Hi! Ah Sha! So, how does it feel to become a celebrity?”
“Hey, Johns! Nah, I’m not a celebrity yet.” Ah Sha smiled. “Is there a new mission for me?”
The male voice suddenly turned serious. “Do you remember that mission from before, where you were sent to steal some classified data?”
“Oh, you mean the one in Eastern Europe? About the research data on guided missiles?” Ah Sha paused. “Is there a problem?”
“The seller is an underground organization from Hong Kong. They’ve hired an assassin to look for you.”
Ah Sha laughed, completely unconcerned by what she had heard. “Bounty hunters and assassins are nemeses of each other. That has never changed. I wonder what price they have placed on my head.”
“Stop laughing. This is no joking matter. I heard that the organization is very powerful and resourceful. And you’re all alone in China. You’ve got to watch out!” Johns said worriedly. “If something happens to you, and then your family found out that I’d turned their precious daughter into a bounty hunter, they’d literally skin me alive!”
Ah Sha was just about to say something to interrupt Johns’ self-teasing when she heard a noise outside her door. She quickly lowered her voice and said, “I’ll watch out. But I have to hang up for now.”
When Xunxun entered, he saw Ah Sha staring at her laptop screen, laughing her head off.
“What are you even watching to make you laugh like some kind of idiot?” Xunxun sat down on the bed and drew her into his arms before closing his eyes in satisfaction. Ah Sha pointed at the Minions playing on her laptop screen. “It’s an animated film. Not your thing at all.” Ah Sha closed the lid of her laptop and climbed out of bed. “I’m going to take a bath. You need to get out. Shoo!”
Xunxun’s face darkened. “Seriously? You’re kicking me out?”
“As if I dare!” Ah Sha hugged him. “Right now, you’re my big boss. I barely have time to suck up to you let alone kick you out!”
Xunxun flipped them around so that he was now pressing down on top of her. “Why don’t you start bribing me now, then. And I’ll turn you into a superstar by tomorrow!” Xunxun said before crashing his lips down on hers. By the time Ah Sha actually got into the bathroom, her body was already covered in green and purple kiss marks.
The man was left alone on the bed to relive every single moment of their earlier canoodling. “I bet it will feel so much better once I finally get a taste of her for real,” he thought.
The next day, Ah Sha rode Xunxun’s car to the movie set. Since the media had already suspected that there was something going on between her and the boss of Stars Entertainment, there was no point in hiding it.
Xunxun’s agenda, on the other hand, was even more clear-cut:
“That way, no man would dare try to make any moves on you!”
Then again, it had evidently slipped Xunxun’s mind that men were not the only people in this world that he had to deal with; there were women, too. Once he had dropped off Ah Sha at the movie set, Xunxun drove back to the company. When Qi Xiu saw Xunxun, he pointed at the rest area beside Xunxun’s office. “Tang Yue has been waiting for you for quite some time,” said Qi Xiu.
Xunxun frowned and opened the door to step in.
“Senior,” Tang Yue said, standing up with a smile. Tang Yue was always aware of where her true advantage lay. The way she was smiling sweetly at Wan Qingsi right now had rendered her beauty infinitely more beguiling.
In that moment, Xunxun had already switched to Wan Qingsi mode; he leveled a cold gaze at Tang Yue before sitting down on the couch.
“Go ahead if you have something to say.”
Tang Yue took a seat across from him. “Senior, I’m guessing you won’t allow me to act in this movie anymore, right?”
“Allow you to act? Do you want us to reshoot the scenes all over again?” Wan Qingsi gave her a mocking smile. “So, let me guess. You’ve come here today to remind me of the fact that Young Master Wen had made an investment in this movie? And because of that, I must make you the lead actress? Is that it?”
Tang Yue’s expression turned into a pained smile. “Senior, you know that’s not what I mean.”
“And you know as well that I despise those who say the opposite of what they truly think.” Wan Qingsi narrowed his eyes at her. “You can give Young Master Wen a call and tell him that I’ve replaced you with another actress. He can withdraw his investment or whatever. Stars Entertainment doesn’t care.”
Tang Yue balled her fists tightly and she instantly felt a rush of anger inside her. As if she even had a way to get in touch with Wen Ruyu…
Ever since the Wen family found out that Wen Ruyu was pursuing her, they had hidden the man away to a place where no one could find him. Tang Yue knew that she had to quickly become a first-rate celebrity. Once she obtained fame, she would have other choices even if the Wen family refused to accept her as their daughter-in-law.
Marrying into a wealthy family; that was her childhood dream. She was blessed with so much physical beauty, so why should she bow and yield to all those rich daughters? One of these days, she would step on each and everyone of them. Staring at the cold man sitting in front of her, Tang Yue once again began to indulge in her own imagination.
The way she saw it, Stars Entertainment was most certainly under Xin Enterprises, and there could only be one reason for Wan Qingsi’s undying devotion to that girl, Ying Xin: to get his hands on the Ying family’s inheritance. If Tang Yue somehow married into a wealthy family and became rich herself, surely she would not fail to seduce the man?
Tang Yue calmed herself and smiled alluringly. “Senior, I really didn’t mean it like that. “Today, I’m here to ask if the company has some other open projects. If there are, I’d like to request that they be assigned to me. Well, you know me. I enjoy acting very much, so…”
Wan Qingsi sneered inwardly. This woman really knew how to stay calm and composed in the face of a crisis. No wonder an imbecile like Wen Ruyu had it so bad for her.
A knock sounded on the door. Qi Xiu entered moments later. “Ken, I just got a call from the production team of ‘Tonight I’m The Greatest’. They wanted to invite Mei Jing, Tang Yue and Chu Yi to record the next season of their show.”
“Make the arrangement. Ask them to send over the questions that they’re planning to ask. Go through the questions and discard the ones that are inappropriate.” Wan Qingsi stood up. “Stars Entertainment provides fair chances to all the celebrities with whom it has contracted. There’ll be another movie at the end of this year. I’ll be monitoring your performance from now on.”
“Thank you, senior!” Tang Yue said with a nod. After that, she followed Qi Xiu outside.
When Ah Sha was wrapping up today’s work, she saw Zhou Na running towards her. The agent was carrying a sheet of paper.
“Xiao Mei, you’ll be joining the recording session for ‘Tonight I’m The Greatest’ the day after tomorrow. These are the questions that they’d sent over. You should go through them and see if which ones you don’t think are appropriate. We can discuss it together and come up with new questions to replace them.” Zhou Na was treating Ah Sha very courteously right now. In fact, Zhou Na felt immensely lucky that she did not get assigned to Tang Yue back then.
It turned out that everyone had blundered; the boss was never interested in Tang Yue. Instead, it was this new girl who had caught the boss’ eye and caused a scandal with the boss. Zhou Na’s opinion on such scandals was this: the more the merrier.
Ah Sha took the sheet of paper from Zhou Na and glanced through it a few times. The questions at the beginning all had to do with the movie; but after that, the questions became more and more like the stuff usually seen on gossip columns.
“Not too bad. I’ll just stick with the questions as they are, then!”
Zhou Na seemed a little bit surprised. “You… Are you sure?” Zhou Na asked warily. There were some pretty sensitive questions involving Wan Qingsi inside.
Ah Sha looked at Zhou Na. “You can call me Ah Sha from now on. It’s my nickname. I’m guessing that right now, you’re sincere about becoming my agent, right?”
“Oh!” Zhou Na froze. Then, she panicked and said, “I’m so sorry. I know we started off on the wrong foot. But that was on me. I was an asshole to you. But please give me another chance.”
“I understand,” Ah Sha said with a nod, “So, I hope that from now on all your actions will be in my full interest.” Ah Sha smiled at Zhou Na. “You won’t regret it.”
Zhou Na’s heart was now in turmoil. She stole a glance at Xiao Hua who was looking at her with a smug look on her face. Zhou Na’s hesitation only lasted for a few seconds before she bowed to Ah Sha and said, “Ah Sha, I understand now. Thank you so much for giving me a chance.”
“You’re welcome. And regarding these questions, please don’t worry. I know how to answer them.” Ah Sha’s answer had reassured Zhou Na as the latter left to make the necessary preparations.
“Young miss, why didn’t you just let the young master get you a new agent. She’s clearly one of those arse-licking types!”
“That’s human nature. But she’s definitely a good agent,” Ah Sha said, pinching Xiao Hua’s nose. “Without her, whom should I send to do contract negotiations on my behalf? You?”
Xiao Hua glared back at her. “As if you even have to bother with those negotiations, young miss. The young master would’ve arranged everything for you!”
Ah Sha just smiled at that comment and said nothing else. If the point was for her to rely on Xunxun to do everything for her, then why bother entering the showbiz in the first place? Everyone in the Ying family had their own burden and responsibility to shoulder. Even Wangwang was studying hard so that he could take over the company earlier. Surely, it was unreasonable for her to just do nothing while enjoying the love and care that everyone was showering her with.
That night, Wan Qingsi arrived on the set openly to pick up Ah Sha.
“Do you want to be part of the TV show?” Xunxun released the woman in his arms and started the car.
Ah Sha touched her slightly swollen lips and nodded. “It can help promote the movie. Besides, it’s all thanks to you that a rookie like me has a chance to be part of such a high-ranking show!”
If the scandal between her and the boss of Stars Entertainment did not exist, who would even notice a puny nobody like her?
“I already read over the question that they’d sent over,” Xunxun said. “You can answer however you like when the time comes. I’ll follow your lead.”
