"I want a chance to pursue you, okay?"
Xie Jinqiu's voice was low and magnetic, even with a bit of gentleness in his tone, but when it fell on Ning Chuchu's ears, it was like thunder, not to mention how lethal it was.
Pursue her? Xie Jinqiu?
Ning Chuchu was almost in a mess. I always felt that it was particularly unbelievable to hear such blunt words coming from Xie Jinqiu's mouth.
Also... hard to resist.
Ning Chuchu coughed uncomfortably and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xie Jinqiu insisted on an answer, "Chu Chu, is that okay?"
Ning Chuchu clenched her fists slightly. She felt her cheeks were a little hot. She couldn't help but cursed in her heart: Just now she was thinking that Xie Jinqiu could actually hit a straight ball. She was probably not enlightened. But now... she was still that dull gourd like wood. .
How should she answer a question like this?!
Ning Chuchu helplessly held her forehead. Just when she was struggling with how to deal with this difficult problem, Xie Jinqiu had already said to herself: "If you don't answer, will I take it as your acquiescence?"
He spoke a little quickly, with a hint of uneasiness and nervousness that was barely perceptible.
Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows slightly, and a smile unconsciously appeared in her eyes.
Thinking of Xie Jinqiu's gentle and considerate ways to moisturize things during this period, and thinking of his behavior of always considering himself... Ning Chuchu's heart is not made of stone, so she will naturally be touched.
Feeling the light warmth rising from her chest, Ning Chuchu curled her lips slightly, her eyes bright, and smiled, "Okay."
A new beginning? It sounds interesting.
Ning Chuchu has never been a timid person with many worries. Xie Jinqiu is very good, and he is also very considerate and respectful to her. Ning Chuchu can feel her vague affection for him.
This bit of affection certainly cannot be considered love, it is more like appreciation of an outstanding man and gratitude for all the help he has given.
But since she doesn't object to Xie Jinqiu's approach, then...it doesn't seem to be a big deal if she tries to make contact?
No matter how she and Xie Jinqiu end up, Ning Chuchu won't take it to heart.
After all, her heart is now occupied by other more important things, and the so-called love and marriage have been thrown into some corner by her.
Just let everything take its course.
Therefore, Ning Chuchu agreed to Xie Jinqiu's request casually and generously, and the two people on the phone smiled in unison, without saying anything.
Maybe... this is really a good start?
Yun Yirou's "dying counterattack" really brought a lot of trouble to Ning Chuchu. Fortunately, Ning Chuchu responded appropriately, and with the active help of the guests of "Love" and Xie Jinqiu's cooperation, the storm quickly subsided.
But after this incident, Ning Chuchu almost never appeared in public for a long time.
Firstly, her engagement to Xie Jinqiu is still being talked about, and she intends to stay out of the limelight; secondly, because she decided to devote herself wholeheartedly to the filming of "Hunter".
After being closed for a long time, the filming of "Hunter" was finally completed with the hard work of the crew day and night, and entered the intensive promotion stage, followed by the official release.
At this moment, because Ning Chuchu has been "missing" for a long time, her fans are going crazy with loneliness.
[It’s the Xth day without the fresh Ning Jie, I miss her…]
[Sister Ning! Wife! Say something!]
[Help me, I just hate Yun Yirou so much now! If she hadn't done this, would Sister Ning have been silent for so long? ]
[Speaking of Yun Yirou, I seemed to have seen her in the social news the other day. She seemed to have been in a car accident or something. Anyway, she was seriously injured and destined to lie in bed for the rest of her life. And such a serious injury actually affects her life expectancy...]
[Ah, this is considered as evil deeds being rewarded with evil…]
[It is said that Yun Yirou's mother, the mistress who destroyed Sister Ning's family, went crazy not long after being imprisoned. She was really crazy. She said every day that someone had cast a spell on her, someone was harming her, controlling her, etc. It seemed like she had scared herself crazy? ]
[As expected, people should not do too many bad things...]
[Not mentioning the unlucky person, I just want to ask Sister Ning when can we meet? Wuwuwu, is "Hunter" so attractive? Sister Ning is completely attracted by him! ]
[Sister Ning, hurry up and come out to do business! ! ! ]
…
Despite the calls from countless netizens, people did not wait for Ning Chuchu to come out to do business, but instead waited for the official release of "Hunter".
The movie had been highly anticipated for a long time, setting a box office sales record on its first day of release. As more and more people watched the movie, the reputation of "Hunter" also rose rapidly.
[Oh my god, this movie is so exciting! The plot is tight, one thing after another, and the characters are all very three-dimensional. It's so good! ]
[Wow, Mr. Pei and Ms. Ning’s acting skills are really amazing! Such a strong combination, they are so handsome that my legs are weak. ]
[The reversal at the end of Bai Xi played by Ning Jie was so exciting that my scalp was numb! ]
[In the early stage, Bai Xi was actually quite similar to the former Ning Jie, a delicate and pitiful little white flower, making people unable to help but pity her. Later, Bai Xi revealed her true colors... Sorry for disturbing you! ]
[Wow, I love Sister Ning playing the villain! 】
[Ning's acting skills have improved! She is even more natural than when she played the Holy Lady of Divine Sound! She is absolutely amazing! ]
【Based on Bai Xi's crazy and witty character, if this year's Best Actress award is not Ning Jie, it would be unjust! 】
…
Not long after its release, "Hunter" achieved great success in both box office and reputation.
As the largest investor, Ning Chuchu made a fortune. As the leading actress, her performance in the film was also recognized by the public.
At this point, Ning Chuchu has proven with her actual strength that she really makes a living by her acting skills.
No one dared to talk about the fact that Ning Chuchu was engaged. For a talented actor with superb acting skills, as long as he does not break the law or have a bad moral character, the audience will always be more tolerant of him.
What's more, Ning Chuchu's engagement is not a black spot at all.
Since then, Ning Chuchu has completely established herself as a talented actress and has also established a firm foothold in the film industry.
"Hunter" is indeed an excellent movie, but some people have a shadow on this movie...
Inside the Xie office building.
"Are there any entertainment activities tonight?" The employees chatted casually.
The supervisor said, "Forget about it. Let's go to the theater tonight and watch a movie."
As soon as these words were spoken, the huge office area was suddenly filled with wailing.
"Help! We've been watching Hunters every night for half a month. No matter how good a movie is, we can't stand it like this! Please let me go!"
"Tsk, this is an order from President Xie himself, what can you do?"
"Didn't Mr. Xie and Ning Chuchu already call off their engagement? Why…"
"Psst - you dare to make up Mr. Xie's personal affairs? Be careful of getting fired! Anyway, Mr. Xie paid for us to watch a movie in a private theater, so let's go and watch it."
"I heard that every employee of the entire Xie Group, whether at the headquarters or branches, received movie tickets for Hunter every day! Even the cleaners and the cafeteria aunties got tickets... How much does this cost?"
"Tsk, stop chasing your wife, I understand."
The news that Xie Jinqiu forced all Xie employees to watch a movie eventually reached Ning Chuchu's ears.
One night, when the two of them were having dinner together, Ning Chuchu even mentioned this matter jokingly: "I made you spend money."
Xie Jinqiu smiled softly when facing Ning Chuchu. How could he still see his usual cold-faced look like the King of Hell? He shook his head and chuckled: "Nothing."
Xie Jinqiu raised his glass to her elegantly, ""Hunter" is very good. I believe that my employees will be happy to watch it again and again."
Ning Chuchu couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing. She raised her hand to clink glasses with Xie Jinqiu, her red lips curled slightly, and a soft smile appeared in her eyes, "Thank you."
The dim warm light fell on the two of them, coating them with a soft and bright glow, and making the atmosphere between them quite warm.
As the two looked at each other with smiles, there seemed to be a faint ambiguity quietly taking root, which would grow into something different with the passage of time.
Their new beginning seemed to be going well.
Ning Chuchu's career once again reached a peak at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
That night, Ning Chuchu changed her usual glamorous queen-like look and wore a pure white fairy dress instead.
Compared with the gorgeous and grand evening gowns of others, Ning Chuchu, although well-dressed, lacked a bit of glamorous aura, and had a kind of calm and arrogant air.
However, even though Ning Chuchu's clothes were not the brightest and her dress was not the most gorgeous, with her charming and attractive face, she was still the most eye-catching female star in the audience.
Today, Ning Chuchu no longer needs to deliberately use domineering or gorgeous dresses to highlight her aura. She just needs to simply stand there and she has her own dazzling demeanor.
Ning Chuchu's current confidence and calmness all stem from her strength and achievements.
As soon as Ning Chuchu showed up, the audience who hadn't seen her for a long time were instantly excited.
[Sister Ning! I finally see you! You have become more beautiful! ]
[Wuwuwu, damn it, I missed you so much! Don’t be missing for such a long time next time! Can you take on more activities?! ]
[Sister Ning! Your performance in "Hunter" is so amazing! You are the best actress! ]
With the expectations of countless people, the Best Actress award was indeed won by Ning Chuchu. When the camera was fixed on Ning Chuchu's elegant smile, the audience burst into applause.
Ning Chuchu's mood was unexpectedly calm, and she felt more at ease as if everything had been settled.
She lifted the hem of her skirt, walked slowly onto the stage, and took the trophy representing the highest honor from Pei Wang with a smile.
At this moment, Ning Chuchu's mind rang with the mechanical voice of the system that was so excited that she choked up: "Wuwuwu... Congratulations to the host for successfully achieving the original ending!"
In the dazzling light, Ning Chuchu smiled brightly, and her pretty face suddenly radiated a stunning look.
Ning Chuchu delivered her acceptance speech with ease, from going on stage to receive the award to waving her hand and leaving the stage, all in one go, without any delay. Her calmness was astonishing, and people exclaimed that she was worthy of being called Sister Ning, and that she was so calm even after becoming a movie queen, and she really had the demeanor of a great lady.
After the award ceremony, Ning Chuchu was about to leave when she saw Xie Jinqiu slowly walking up to her.
"Congratulations." Xie Jinqiu was dressed in a straight suit, handsome and cold, and more dazzling than all the male stars.
He smiled and said, "A new French restaurant has recently opened. Do you have time tonight? I'll help you celebrate."
Ning Chuchu shook her head dryly, "Not tonight, I have something to do."
Xie Jinqiu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyelashes with some disappointment.
Ning Chuchu smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, "How about tomorrow?"
Xie Jinqiu's eyes lit up instantly and he nodded gently.
The two of them smiled at each other unconsciously. Ning Chuchu waved at him and hurriedly took a car back to her home.
After returning home, Ning Chuchu stayed alone in the empty room. She leisurely poured herself a glass of red wine, then asked with a smile: "System, is this a complete success?"
“…Yeah, that’s right.”
The usually heartless system was actually a little depressed at this moment, without any joy of mission success.
Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows slightly, suppressed her smile and asked, "Why are you depressed? Shouldn't you be happy for me?"
"I, I am very happy for you, but..." The system's voice became lower and lower, "but we are about to separate."
Ning Chuchu teased, "You can't bear to leave me?"
The system said angrily: "Don't you miss me?!"
Ning Chuchu said lightly, "Tsk," and said casually, "It's OK."
System: “…Wow!”
Wrong! This dog host has no heart!
Ning Chuchu was still adding fuel to the fire, "It's a pity that you have been with me for such a long time, but you can only watch as a bystander and cannot experience everything here in person."
"Roast duck, sea cucumber soup, lobster..." Ning Chuchu took a sip of the wine and said jokingly, "I remember you were quite greedy, right? It's a pity that I can't eat them."
System: "...I have helped you so much, how can you be so heartless?!"
The system was so angry that it was about to smoke.
Ning Chuchu chuckled, "It's not the first day you know my nature."
The system said angrily, "Humph, if that's the case, you better use up the last Word Spirit Reward quickly, and then I'll leave immediately! I won't bother you anymore!"
Ning Chuchu's eyes lit up, and she finally became interested. "Can the reward finally be redeemed?"
The system said unhappily, "Yes, you have become a movie queen, the ending of the original novel has been achieved, and the final reward can be redeemed."
Ning Chuchu touched her chin thoughtfully, "Can everything I say come true?"
"Of course!" The system paused, then added, "But it cannot go beyond the common sense of this world. For example, immortality, super powers, etc.... These are not allowed by the rules!"
After saying that, the system couldn't help but ask curiously: "Host, what wish do you plan to fulfill?"
Ning Chuchu smiled meaningfully, "You'll know in a moment."
System: "Host, do you want to use this 'Export is the truth' reward now?"
"yes."
After a moment, the system's serious voice sounded: "The reward has been delivered. Host, you must be very careful with what you say next. The first sentence you say will become the truth."
Ning Chuchu took a deep breath, curled the corners of her lips slightly, and a warm and gentle smile appeared on her face.
She said: "My system... can let him eat the roast duck he longs for tonight, sea cucumber soup tomorrow, and barbecue food the day after tomorrow..."
System: “……???”
What is the host saying? Is he dreaming? !
Ning Chuchu smiled and continued, "In short, all the happiness I can feel, my system will also taste it one by one."
"Tong, I admit it. I really can't bear to leave you."
"So...stay with me forever."
Ning Chuchu smiled brightly, her eyes were like stars, and her face was filled with endless tenderness.
Everything was going well for her now, and she no longer had any urgent wishes to fulfill. Because... the system had already helped her realize all her wishes without her noticing.
Therefore, let her take this opportunity to help this small system and realize his wish.
After saying that, Ning Chuchu ignored the system that was crying with emotion, and just turned on the TV, which was playing a replay of her acceptance speech when she received the award.
On TV, Ning was wearing a white dress, holding a trophy, and was giving her acceptance speech in high spirits.
"I am really a very lucky person. I can express my true self freely and openly." Ning Chuchu said word by word on TV. "I think I will always follow that sentence."
Ning Chuchu slowly raised her glass and gestured to herself on TV, with a lazy and bright curve at the corner of her lips. She opened her red lips slightly, and her soft and magnetic voice cleverly synchronized with the person on TV.
She spoke with her TV self: "Be true to yourself and say what you want to say."
After saying this slowly, Ning Chuchu raised her head and drank the red wine in the glass, with a burning sense of conviction burning in her eyes.
She chuckled and murmured, "Sincerity."
At this moment, she noticed something strange, and after a slight movement of her mind, she looked down.
When Ning Chuchu saw the cute little boy with an excited look on his face at her feet, she raised her eyebrows playfully.
She couldn't help but chuckle, then leaned over, held out her hand to him, and said, "Come on, son Tong, I'll take you to eat roast duck!"
The joy and excitement on the system's face froze slightly: "...Who are you calling son?"
"Roast duck?"
"...Mom, let's go!^^"
Ning Chuchu smiled contentedly, took his hand, and walked out while muttering softly, "It's already so late?"
"Tsk, what a mistake. If I had known earlier, I would have accepted Xie Jinqiu's appointment."
"How about...let him pick us up now?"
