Chapter 69 Playing the Role for Real
-
Cheng Yuzhou was stunned for a second by his warning words, then saw Wen Yining looking at him pleadingly, her eyes filled with fear...
Thinking that he was, after all, Shen Yueze's cousin, he could at least offer some reassurance.
As a result, Cheng Yuzhou was warned again by Shen Yueze's threatening look, and he stopped in his tracks and did not follow her out. Wen Yining was immediately disappointed and panicked, remembering that Cheng Yuzhou had promised her last week... that she could act with peace of mind and act boldly, and that she did not need to worry about Shen Yueze, as he would help keep it a secret.
Lin Ni also stood up, grabbed Cheng Yuzhou's arm, and deliberately said, "I really thought Shen Yueze knew."
"What are you pretending for? What are you acting for?!"
Cheng Yuzhou shook off her hand, disregarding the presence of other people in the private room. His previous politeness vanished completely. "What good will it do you to ruin their relationship? Huh? I just told you to shut up, but you had to keep talking, you had to say it. Does Wen Yining's career development conflict with yours?!"
Lin Ni remained calm, showing no anger or concern for the harsh words he uttered. She slowly said, "There's no conflict. I just want her to focus on filming. Shen Yueze is being too controlling, which is affecting her performance."
“Shi Yuheng told me that she herself doesn’t care and is a very open-minded girl, but a rich young master like Shen Yueze has to be proud and wouldn’t accept his girlfriend making this kind of film. Their values are different and their acceptance levels are different, so it’s hard for them to go far.”
Cheng Yuzhou paced back and forth inside, furious, one hand on his hip, practically wanting to slap someone. "You've messed up my plans, don't you know that?! My goal is to make Wen Yining famous and generate revenue for the company. I don't care who she dates, how long they last, or when they break up."
“When I found out that Shi Yuheng had asked her to act, I refused. I knew that Shen Yueze would definitely disagree, so I discussed with him to replace her with another actress from Dongyang. But Shi Yuheng was unwilling. He didn’t like any of them, and he thought Wen Yining was suitable.”
Lin Ni remained calm as she sat down on the sofa and slowly lit a cigarette. "So don't you understand why he can't live without Wen Yining? How could their relationship be so simple? Are you naive, or are you deliberately trying not to tell your cousin the truth?"
Cheng Yuzhou was speechless for a few seconds, then continued pacing. He genuinely didn't know if Wen Yining was having an affair with someone else, but he didn't care. He felt that in this circle, love and romance were the most ephemeral and unimportant things.
"I don't want to get involved in your mess! You can settle your own scores and grudges!"
Cheng Yuzhou took out his phone, scrolled through it, and looked for Shen Yueze's group of brothers. "He has a terrible temper. Let me tell you, if anything happens today and he makes a move, I'll settle the score with you."
"What's wrong with Wen Yining breaking up with Shen Yueze? You're doing this for money, and I'm doing this for Shi Yuheng."
Lin Ni smiled and looked at him for a while, half believing and half doubting: "Really? You're afraid of Shen Yueze? You're his brother. I think you two have a pretty good relationship. He's probably afraid of you. He's only in his early twenties. He hasn't even entered society yet. He's just a young and impetuous kid. What can he do even if he's angry?"
-
After leaving the private room, Wen Yining was dragged along by him. He was in front, his face cold and silent, while she was behind, her every move expressing resistance.
Her arm was gripped so tightly it hurt, almost like being pinched. She kept trying to pull back, struggling several times, but to no avail. The unknown fear of his out-of-control emotions tormented her nerves; she had never seen him with such a gloomy expression.
She observed him, and couldn't help but call out, "Shen Yueze..."
He randomly entered an empty private room and shoved the person inside. Wen Yining almost lost her balance and fell to the ground, letting out a startled cry, "Ah..."
The waiter in the hallway, assuming he was a new customer, greeted him with a smile and tried to come in to introduce their signature dishes, "Hello sir, our..."
As a result, Shen Yueze slammed the door shut with a loud "bang".
"What's this about the Category III films Lin Ni mentioned?"
She answered briefly, "There's a sex scene."
Before coming in, I considered many possibilities. It was nothing more than him getting angry and wanting to break off the relationship. I was also worried that he might hit her. As long as he didn't hit her, verbal attacks didn't matter. This day would come sooner or later.
"Where's Shi Yuheng? Did you two sleep together?"
She replied without hesitation, "No, Lin Ni doesn't know either; it's just her guess."
Shen Yueze suppressed his emotions and stared at her for a while before asking in a cold voice, "Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
She remained silent, standing stiffly. He casually pulled out a chair, sat down facing her, and then kicked away the chair opposite him, as if he wanted to have a serious talk.
Wen Yining glanced at the handkerchief he had kicked out, then sat down as well, her nerves on edge, feeling that his demeanor had a bit of an interrogation feel to it.
"Would you agree if I told you?"
Won't.
Shen Yueze stared at her, piecing together the fragmented events that had occurred since she was hospitalized, up to what had happened today.
Wen Yining felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze; goosebumps stood on end, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on her back. Surrounded by this intense sense of oppression, her chest felt tight, her hands were icy cold, and her gaze shifted away only to return again.
To borrow Shi Yuheng's words, his weak defense was, "What's wrong with wanting to take shortcuts? It's my own body, why can't I use it?"
“You know how competitive this industry is. Although you're not in the entertainment industry, Cheng Yuzhou is your cousin. He'll tell you about the unspoken rules and other people's experiences.”
"If I want to become famous quickly, if I want to make money quickly, then I have to make sacrifices. Many people have acted in movies with explicit content, and you've seen quite a few. When you're watching a movie as a viewer, you're only immersed in the story; you don't think about how much the actor put in or sacrificed when making the film."
"I think this level of effort is completely proportional to fame and fortune. Even if I don't achieve the results I expected in the end, at least I tried, so I have no regrets."
From senior student Qiao Yin to Feng Yan, then to cousin Ji Yao, and her own brother Wen Yiran, they all talked about how hard it is to make money; no profession is easy.
Once she joined the film crew, she saw how everyone was treated with utter disrespect, and how many of the minor supporting actors she had played for over a decade were of average looks or simply unlucky and lacked connections. She truly understood Feng Yan's earnest advice to her.
-
Shen Yueze slowly lit a cigarette, took two puffs, held it with one hand, his expression nonchalant and gloomy. He was much calmer now. After listening to her, he said sarcastically, "You hesitated even to post another nude photo, and you still want to film a large-scale sex scene?"
"That's different."
"How are they different?"
Wen Yining was speechless for a moment, then said dryly, "I think work and life are different."
He asked, "Completely naked?"
She managed to squeeze out two words, "Half L".
There's no need to fake it for real, but there are simulated actions.
"I'd be embarrassed if only I saw it, how could I accept being seen by countless men?"
"Will you be satisfied if strange men watch your videos and then ejaculate inside you?"
“…”
He spoke so bluntly that Wen Yining's heart raced. Unconsciously, she recalled the scene where she and he were naked and video chatting. She had witnessed firsthand how lewd boys could be in this regard.
Shen Yueze continued, "Even if you're fully clothed, people still picture you naked in their minds, using you as a sexual fantasy object, fantasizing about you, mentally raping you, and having sex with you in various positions. Is that something you can accept?"
"Or is this what you want?"
"..."
Wen Yining frowned: "Why do you make it sound like an adult film? It's not like that."
"Aren't they all the same? Are you a man or am I?"
"Whichever female celebrity dresses the most revealingly and has the biggest breasts becomes their object of sexual fantasy."
What others say doesn't matter, whether she's dressed warmly or lightly doesn't matter.
However, Shen Yueze couldn't accept others fantasizing about her in their minds.
After she finished processing the information, I continued to give her examples, "Don't you girls ever fantasize about your idols? Don't you ever fantasize about what they're like in bed? So many female fans are willing to sleep with male celebrities, how many of them are truly innocent?"
Wen Yining felt a tightness in her chest, as if she couldn't breathe. Her nose stung, her eyes burned, and she wanted to cry, but she couldn't explain why. A mix of complex emotions welled up inside her. "So, is there a difference? To be treated as a plaything by you, or by someone else? Is there a difference? Isn't a plaything a plaything no matter where it is?"
She would rather be played by others, even a thousand times, whether physically or emotionally, she felt she could endure it.
The first sentence that popped into Shen Yueze's mind almost instantly was, "I only treat you as a plaything?"
Yes, it is indeed a toy.
He nodded, chuckled coldly and detachedly, his tone mocking, "You've got a good plan, taking my money, stripping naked in front of other men, and making double the money, huh?"
"I taught you all your skills in bed, didn't I? So you'll use what I taught you to serve other men, right?"
“…”
He said slowly, "Your technique is so bad, and your oral skills aren't great either. Chen Jiabai didn't teach you anything; it was all taught by me. You're the one who planted the tree, and now you're letting others enjoy the shade, right?"
She couldn't take it anymore. Sniffling, suppressing her bitter emotions, she stood up from her chair and shouted, "Are you crazy? When did I sleep with another guy?!"
Instead, he became the calm and composed one, slowly saying, "Your bottom line will gradually decrease. Whether you're half-naked or fully naked, it doesn't matter. Next time, he might ask you to sleep with him, with the producer, with other directors, and after that, with the investors. You might not accept it at first, but as the environment changes and the people around you persuade you, your values will undergo a complete transformation. At that time, you'll feel that you've already acted in Category III films, and there's nothing you can't sell."
"…………"
Her face turned pale, and she was powerless to fight back.
"You've been so proactive all this time, just for this day, right? Just for this one thing, right?"
From seduction in the hospital room, to holding his hand to her chest even when she was on her period, to learning to cook and giving him gifts...
He thought she had fallen for him, that she was starting to understand him like Li Xiayi and the others, but he discovered that everything was just preparation for today.
The more passionate you were in bed that night, the more you want revenge now.

The author's note: He thought she was interested, but then he discovered she had ulterior motives, and now he's even angrier...
Moreover, he always wanted Ning to take the initiative to confess.
My computer has been lagging these past few days, but the new one will arrive tomorrow. Next time, I hope to write 9,000 words!

I wasn't used to explaining or analyzing things, but everyone has different thoughts after reading. Some people can understand the purpose of my writing about certain characters and plots (while others just wrote things without any real meaning). Of course, not understanding doesn't stop you from continuing to read [laughing emoji].
Many readers in the comments section have made very accurate analyses!
