Chapter 163 I'll Give You a Best Actress Award

Ye Wanxi was amused by Li Qinyan's undisguised shock and asked in return, "Do you want to come over and check if I have a fever?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qinyan not only didn't move forward, but instead took a step back, looking wary: "You seem a little different today."

"What's the difference?"

"You never used to joke with me." Not only did he never joke, but he would often turn around and make sarcastic remarks because he felt guilty.

Most of the time, Li Qinyan would argue with her, instead of doing it so inexplicably like this.

"So do you think I'm more likable when I'm not joking, or when I'm joking?"

"Neither of them are likable." Li Qinyan looked at her with disdain, as if she were an idiot. "What exactly are you trying to do?"

"I want to apologize to you."

"ha?"

When Ye Wanxi said this, not only Li Qinyan, but also Gao Min and Li Qinyan's agent were stunned and stared at her in surprise.

“A few years ago, we participated in a talent show together. I was misled by someone with ulterior motives, which caused you to leave the show prematurely and fail to seize the opportunity to prove yourself to everyone.”

"You..." Li Qinyan was truly shocked this time.

While this is true, everyone knows that this circle is full of deceit and treachery. Let alone using someone else to do the dirty work, even if someone actually did it, they would try their best to deny it. If they didn't deny it, they would manipulate public opinion to suppress it. It's all about who has the strongest backing.

Where else would someone suddenly self-destruct like Ye Wanxi without warning?

After a moment of stunned silence, Li Qinyan's first reaction was: "Are you recording me? Are you trying to morally blackmail me into forgiving you? Let me tell you, you've got the wrong idea. I'm not going to forgive you so easily."

“I wasn’t recording anything, and I don’t expect you to forgive me. I just hope to make some amends for the mistakes I made before.”

Li Qinyan narrowed her eyes, not entirely believing her explanation: "How do you plan to make amends?"

Ye Wanxi shifted her gaze to the side and landed on the notebook in Li Qinyan's agent's hand.

How about I give you a Best Actress award?

Gao Min's gaze towards Li Qinyan changed instantly. Thanks to Ye Wanxi's outrageous behavior a few years ago, she had some understanding of this artist who debuted around the same time as Ye Wanxi and had some grudges against her.

Undeniably, Li Qinyan's acting skills are quite good, at least among the top actresses of her age group.

Furthermore, because she has been dancing since elementary school, her flexibility is much better than that of other female artists, and she is often sought after by period dramas that require action scenes or even dance performances.

Unfortunately, her appearance is more of a mature and glamorous type, beautiful but with a touch of aggression, domineering and wild.

Her appearance deviates somewhat from the current mainstream aesthetic of being fair-skinned, young, and thin, so despite acting in many dramas over the years, she has remained relatively unknown.

If someone else had said such a thing, Gao Min would probably have thought they were joking. But since it was Ye Wanxi who said it, Gao Min felt that it might actually come true!

Li Qinyan was stunned for a few seconds, her expression changed slightly, and she really took Ye Wanxi's words as sarcasm: "Are you joking?"

"I'm not that bored." Ye Wanxi knew it wouldn't be easy to suddenly change the impression of someone who had disliked her for a long time, so she didn't keep them in suspense and pointed to the script at the bottom, saying, "Choose this one."

Li Qinyan's heart skipped a beat, and her gaze towards Ye Wanxi became more complicated.

Her agent actually had two scripts in her hands. One was a period drama directed by a famous director, featuring a strong female lead, a typical Mary Sue period drama where all the high-quality men love me.

The other one, which Ye Wanxi mentioned, is a modern drama directed by an up-and-coming director. It tells the story of a female dancer who is forced to give up her dream due to an accidental injury, but eventually returns to where she started, taking a career related to her original dream and staying true to her original aspirations.

For Li Qinyan, this script was basically tailor-made for her, and she really hoped to participate in this TV series.

Considering factors such as the director, investment, and production team, Li Qinyan, after discussing with her agent, ultimately chose the lead role in an ancient costume drama, abandoning the script that had captivated her.

The reason why Li Qinyan suddenly took the initiative to provoke Ye Wanxi today may not be without this reason.

This script reminded her of her past self, of the person who thought she still had endless possibilities even after leaving dance, but was repeatedly frustrated.

But she had to give it up for various reasons, just like giving up her former self.

The atmosphere among the group was delicate. No one noticed a small figure running out of the elevator not far away. Upon seeing Ye Wanxi, her large, dark eyes lit up slightly, and she rushed excitedly toward them.

With a "thud," the soft little guy, like a piece of rice cake, suddenly hugged Ye Wanxi's leg.

The impact was so great that Ye Wanxi staggered a couple of times.

But the "culprit" looked up with her rosy cheeks flushed with excitement and softly called out, "Sister Wanxi."

It makes you want to get angry, but you can't bring yourself to blame it.

"Sissi? What brings you here?"

Ye Wanxi bent down and picked up the little one: "Where are your mom and dad? Why are you all alone?"

Sisi skillfully hugged Ye Wanxi's neck, leaned over and kissed her: "Mommy's behind us."

As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Xiao walked over from a short distance away, a gentle smile on her face: "I was wondering why this little one was clamoring to come downstairs. Turns out he saw you, Wanxi."

"Aunt."

"Auntie?" Li Qinyan's agent was taken aback and greeted Madam Xiao, "Hello, Madam."

"Hello." Madam Xiao smiled politely at him, then looked away, revealing the difference in their relationship.

"lady?"

Mrs. Xiao doesn't come to the company often, so Li Qinyan naturally doesn't recognize her.

"Mr. Xiao's wife."

Li Qinyan's eyes narrowed slightly as she subconsciously glanced at the little girl nestled obediently in Ye Wanxi's arms.

"That child..."

"No need to ask, of course it's Mr. Xiao's daughter."

Li Qinyan's agent had never met Qianqian, but the fact that Xiao Yuti's family had a daughter was not a secret in the company.

He just didn't expect Ye Wanxi to have such a good relationship with President Xiao's family. Ye Wanxi even affectionately called Mrs. Xiao "Auntie".

It seems that those rumors outside are not entirely unfounded.

The appearance of the Xiao family mother and daughter brought a considerable shock to Li Qinyan and her companion.

Ye Wanxi noticed the changes in their expressions, smiled slightly, and took the initiative to introduce them to Madam Xiao: "Auntie, this is my friend, and also an artist in our company."

Li Qinyan never expected Ye Wanxi to say that, and her heart skipped a beat.
