night.
After Su Qianqian returned home, her bright almond-shaped eyes shone with an astonishing light, and she couldn't suppress the upward curve of her lips.
As soon as I entered, I bumped into Gu Chengyu, who had just come out of the study after dealing with emails.
The man, dressed in comfortable dark gray loungewear, stood tall with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, casually leaning against the door frame.
"You're back?" He raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on her small face, which clearly showed "I have great news," and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.
His girlfriend's emotions were always written on her face; she couldn't hide them.
"Mmm!" Su Qianqian nodded vigorously, like a happy little bird, and rushed to him in a few steps, looking up at him with her sweet and soft voice, filled with uncontrollable excitement.
"Young Master Gu, I got the role!"
Gu Chengyu was infected by her undisguised happiness and reached out to gently ruffle her soft hair: "Oh? What role? The female lead?"
"No, that's not it." Su Qianqian shook her head, her long, seaweed-like hair swaying with her movements. "It's about a courtesan! Only two scenes!"
She held up two delicate fingers, her eyes sparkling, "The first act is a dance, a stunning entrance! The second act... well, it's a cold corpse."
When she mentioned the corpse, her face wrinkled slightly, but it was quickly replaced by excitement. "Brother Wang helped me get it. The director said I passed the audition."
Gu Chengyu almost choked on his own saliva while listening.
His eyes were full of amusement and wonder as he looked down at the little girl in his arms who was so happy she was about to jump for joy because of a minor supporting role that only had two scenes.
"A courtesan? A corpse?" he repeated, his tone undisguisedly playful. He stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace, pinching her rosy cheek.
"That's it? You're this happy?" He leaned close to her ear, his voice low and chuckled, "Baby, have you forgotten who your boyfriend is?"
He paused, his tone laced with an air of self-righteous arrogance and doting: "Gu Chengyu, hmm? With just a word from me, a whole bunch of leading ladies and big-budget productions will be lining up for you to choose from."
"You like acting? Tomorrow I'll have Shen Que tailor-make a script just for you, so you can act to your heart's content."
"Why bother playing the role of a courtesan in a two-act play, huh? And a corpse at that?"
Su Qianqian was held in his arms, a little bewildered by his extravagant and inhumane remarks.
She knew who he was, even better than he did, and that he would become even more powerful in the future.
But……
She tilted her head back, her clear almond-shaped eyes looking at him earnestly, her voice soft yet carrying a stubbornness: "That's different, Young Master Gu."
"What's different?" Gu Chengyu raised an eyebrow and asked with great interest.
"This is...this is what I got from my audition."
Su Qianqian emphasized the word "herself," saying, "Brother Wang gave me the opportunity, and the director also recognized me."
"Although it was only two scenes, it was my first step into the entertainment industry, and I took it all on my own."
As she spoke, her eyes brightened even more, "And that role is very challenging. You have to dance with alluring grace that isn't vulgar, and as a corpse, you have to possess a cold, icy beauty..."
As Gu Chengyu watched her earnestly analyzing the character and proudly displaying her small achievements, he felt an even stronger sense of amusement, mixed with a touch of novelty and... tenderness.
Which of the women around him isn't eyeing top luxury brand endorsements and a leading lady role in a drama?
