Chapter 34 Joyful
night.
After Su Qianqian returned home, her watery almond eyes lit up surprisingly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
As soon as I entered the door, I ran into Gu Chengyu who had just come out of the study after dealing with emails.
The man was wearing comfortable dark gray home clothes, with an upright posture, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, leaning casually against the door frame.
"Are you back?" He raised his eyebrows, his eyes falling on her little face that clearly said "I have great news", and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose a little.
His girlfriend's emotions are always written on her face and she can't hide them.
"Yeah!" Su Qianqian nodded vigorously, like a happy little bird, and pounced in front of him in a few steps. She looked up at him with her little face, her voice sweet and sticky, with uncontrollable excitement.
"Master Gu, I got the role!"
Gu Chengyu was infected by her unconcealed happiness and reached out to rub her soft hair naturally: "Oh? What role? The heroine?"
"No." Su Qianqian shook her head, her long seaweed-like hair swaying with her movements. "She's an oiran! Just two acts!"
She stretched out two tender fingers and gestured, her eyes sparkling. "The first act is a dance, a stunning entrance! The second act... well, a cold corpse."
When she mentioned the corpse, her face wrinkled for a moment, but it was quickly replaced by excitement. "Brother Wang helped me get it, and the director said I passed the audition."
Gu Chengyu almost choked on his saliva while listening.
His eyes were filled with amusement and novelty as he looked down at the little girl in his arms who was almost jumping for joy because of a small supporting role that only had two scenes.
"Oiran? Corpse?" He repeated, the playfulness in his tone undisguised. He stretched out his long arms, encircled her in his arms, and pinched her pink cheeks.
"That's it? It makes you so happy?" He leaned close to her ear, his voice low and smiling, "Baby, have you forgotten who your boyfriend is?"
He paused, his tone filled with natural arrogance and doting: "Gu Chengyu, huh? As long as I say a word, there will be plenty of heroines and big productions waiting for you to choose."
"You like acting? Tomorrow I'll have Shen Que tailor a script for you so you can act to your heart's content."
"Why bother playing a little courtesan in two acts, huh? And a corpse?"
Su Qianqian was held in his arms, feeling a little confused as she listened to his inhumane speech.
Of course she knew who he was, even better than he himself, and that he would be even more powerful in the future.
But……
She raised her head, her clear almond eyes looking at him seriously, her voice soft but with a hint of stubbornness: "That's different, Master Gu."
"What's the difference?" Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.
"This...I got this through my own audition."
Su Qianqian emphasized the word "herself," "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 did it on my own."
As she spoke, her eyes lit up even more. "And that role is very challenging. The dancing needs to be charming yet not vulgar, and even when playing a corpse, there needs to be that kind of cold beauty..."
Gu Chengyu looked at her seriously analyzing the character and being very proud of her small achievement. The funny feeling in his heart became stronger, mixed with novelty and... softness.
Which of the women around him isn't eyeing the endorsement of top luxury brands and the script of the heroine?
She was the first one to get so excited about a minor supporting role.
"Okay, okay, your first step depends on yourself."
He chuckled softly, his tone indulgent, and tightened his grip around her slender waist, pulling her closer to him. "So, my little actress, what's your next move? Hmm?"
Su Qianqian's face turned slightly red when he asked her that, and then she remembered the real purpose of her rushing over.
She immediately grabbed his arm and shook it slightly, but he held her too tightly and it was difficult to move.
She gave up and turned her head to look up, her watery eyes filled with anticipation and coquettishness: "Master Gu, um... the director said that my dancing is not good enough, my movements are not standard, and my temperament alone is not enough..."
"He gave me a month to practice dancing..."
She paused, her voice becoming softer and sweeter: "I want to hire a dance teacher, a very good classical dance teacher... Master Gu, please..."
Gu Chengyu was almost driven to death by her cuteness as he saw her acting so soft and coquettish, just to get a dance teacher.
He couldn't help laughing, his chest vibrating as he let out a low laugh of pleasure.
"That's it?" He pinched her chin and shook it.
"Is a two-act little courtesan worth all this trouble? And hiring a great teacher?"
He teased her deliberately, "Your boyfriend can just say whatever he wants, and there are plenty of top-notch dance stand-ins waiting to be used. Why bother practicing so hard?"
"No substitute!" Su Qianqian immediately shook her head, her little face full of persistence.
"I want to dance by myself!"
"The director said that shot needs to be a close-up. We need to capture the look and the feeling. No matter how well the stand-in dances, the look won't be the same. I have to act it out myself!"
As she spoke, she shook his arm again, her voice so sweet that honey could drip out of it, "Please... Master Gu... please help me find a teacher... please..."
While acting coquettishly, she looked at him with her clear, innocent, and expectant almond-shaped eyes, like a cat trying to please its owner, making it impossible to refuse her.
Gu Chengyu's heart melted because of her, and the thought of teasing him disappeared.
He lowered his head and kissed her smooth forehead loudly.
"OK!"
He agreed readily, his tone full of natural doting, "Isn't it just a dance teacher? I'll hire you the best one tomorrow. The top one in the country, is that enough? If not, I'll hire one from abroad."
Su Qianqian's eyes instantly curved into crescents. She happily stood on tiptoe and pecked his cold jaw: "Thank you, Master Gu! You're the best!"
"but……"
Gu Chengyu held her waist tightly, not letting her retreat. His deep, almond-shaped eyes were filled with intimacy. He lowered his head and leaned close to her fair, tender face, lowering his voice, "Just saying thank you is not enough."
"My little oiran, how are you planning on... thanking me properly, huh?"
Su Qianqian was so embarrassed that even her small earlobes were stained pink.
Of course she understood the implication in his words and shyly wanted to bury her face in his arms, but he lifted her chin maliciously.
Looking at the shy and soft figure in his arms, letting him pick her, the smile in Gu Chengyu's eyes deepened.
A minor supporting role in a two-act play?
He suddenly felt that it seemed quite interesting.
At least, he can see his little girl, so lively, so hardworking, and so lovely.
