Li Wan slept well that night and got up early because she had work today, so she wanted to look more professional. She picked a white shirt with a very design sense and paired it with a black hip skirt, a pair of nude pointed-toe shoes, and simply tied her hair into a fluffy ponytail with slightly curled ends.
The overall combination highlights the intellectual and elegant temperament without being too professional.
"Li Wan" originally had very few cosmetics, just two lipsticks and an eyebrow pencil.
Li Wan bought a lot of things in the mall that day using Xiao Ze's card. She put on some light makeup and only pursed her lips with a thin layer of makeup. She looked not much different from her bare face, but she looked more energetic. She got herself ready and went to Xiao Yan's room, where she saw Aunt Xu helping Xiao Yan get dressed.
As soon as Xiao Yan saw Li Wan, he clapped his hands: "Mom, you look good!"
Aunt Xu said, "Miss Li, breakfast has been bought and is being heated in the kitchen. If you are hungry, go downstairs and eat something."
Li Wan smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work." After that, she walked over and wanted to kiss Xiao Yan's chubby cheeks. But thinking that she had put on lipstick today, she just pinched his face and said, "Mom is going downstairs to have breakfast. You better wash your face before coming down."
Xiao Yan nodded obediently.
Li Wan went downstairs.
She took her breakfast out of the steamer and ate it in the kitchen, too lazy to go out. Just then, Qi Wen sent her a WeChat message, asking her if she had gotten up.
She was sending WeChat messages while eating breakfast.
Just then, Xiao Ze came in.
Xiao Ze didn't sleep well last night.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw Li Wan's sparkling and smiling eyes, and the soft touch on my neck seemed to be engraved in my mind and could not be erased.
When he came in to drink some water, he saw Li Wan lying on the kitchen counter, eating breakfast and replying to messages on her phone.
Li Wan looked up at him, then lowered her head and replied to Qi Wen's message, saying, "Breakfast is in the steamer, take it yourself."
Xiao Ze poured himself a glass of water and drank it slowly while looking at Li Wan behind the kitchen counter calmly.
She wore a new dress again, which looked very nice.
She wore makeup today and painted her lips red.
Are you going out again?
He finished his glass of water and Li Wan didn't even raise his head.
"Are you going out today?" He put down the water cup and asked casually.
After Li Wan sent the message, she finally looked up and remembered that she had not told Xiao Ze about this yet. She had waited for him last night just to tell him this, but she forgot about it because she was in a daze.
She stood up and said solemnly: "I forgot to tell you that I will start preparing for work from today."
Xiao Ze looked at her doubtfully: "Work?"
Li Wan nodded: "I've accepted a dubbing job and I'm going to audition today."
Xiao Ze frowned: "I said, you don't need to go out to work."
Li Wan looked at him calmly: "Is it me who doesn't need it, or you?"
Xiao Ze was stumped by the question.
Li Wan's eyes were clear: "I need this job, and I'm not asking for your opinion. You can ask, but it's my business whether I accept it or not."
As she spoke, she put the last steamed dumpling into her mouth, picked up her phone, and walked out from behind the kitchen counter: "I'm going out now, do you have anything else to tell me?"
Xiao Ze's gaze inevitably moved down to Li Wan's lower body. The length of her black hip skirt was three inches above the knee, showing off her two thin, white and straight long legs.
His eyes darkened: "Are you going to wear this out?"
Li Wan glanced down and nodded without hesitation, "Is it inappropriate?"
Xiao Ze frowned: "Change your pants."
"I never interfere with what you wear when you go out, Mr. Xiao, and you shouldn't interfere with me either." She said and was about to walk out.
Xiao Ze followed her and held her wrist at the kitchen door: "You can change into another skirt." He pursed his lips, "At least something more decent than this one."
Li Wan raised her eyebrows: "You are interfering with my freedom of dressing."
Xiao Ze did not deny this: "You go up and change before going out, or you can wear it at home."
What this means is that if she insists on wearing it, she doesn't have to go out today.
Anger suddenly rose in Li Wan's beautiful eyes.
"Sister, brother-in-law..." Suddenly a soft voice sounded: "Did you have a fight?"
When Li Wan turned around, she saw Li Qiao standing behind her with a probing look in her eyes.
"How could that be?" The anger in Li Wan's eyes disappeared instantly. She changed her mind, turned her head, and leaned into Xiao Ze's arms, gently touching his tense chest.
She softened her voice, with a hint of charm and coquettishness: "It's your brother-in-law who is jealous. He said that I shouldn't wear such a short skirt to go out." As she spoke, her eyebrows were smiling, and there seemed to be a hook in her sparkling eyes, which made Xiao unable to take his eyes away.
Li Qiao's fingers clenched silently.
"Hey, there's really nothing I can do about you." Li Wan acted coquettishly, and at the end, she stood on tiptoe to kiss Xiao Zewei on the corner of his pursed lips: "Then I'll go upstairs to change." After saying that, she turned around, smiled at Li Qiao, passed by her, and went upstairs.
Li Qiao looked at Xiao Ze in surprise.
She had never seen Li Wan and Xiao Ze so close before. They had always been respectful to her...
Is this how they usually get along with each other in private?
Xiao Ze was still stunned by Li Wan's unexpected kiss just now. It took him a while to react. His ears were already burning and a trace of discomfort appeared on his handsome and fair face. He kept his face tense, as if afraid of revealing something. He didn't even glance at Li Qiao and walked straight past her.
Li Wan released his anger only when he reached his room.
Dog man.
Normally he never cared when she was bullied, but now he seemed to be more lenient.
Li Wan opened the closet and squinted her eyes. She didn't want him to get what he wanted.
A full twenty minutes passed before Li Wan came downstairs.
Xiao Ze, who was dawdling in the restaurant and had not gone out, heard footsteps coming up the stairs. He walked out of the restaurant at the right time. The moment he saw Li Wan coming down from upstairs, the veins on his forehead jumped twice.
Li Wan did change out of that hip-hugging miniskirt.
She changed into a red halter dress with a slim fit design that perfectly highlighted her round chest and slender waist. The dress was indeed longer than the short skirt she had just worn, but it just barely covered her knees. Apart from that, her collarbone, thin shoulders, and thin white arms without a trace of fat were all exposed. She usually dressed conservatively, and the skin that was covered up was kept extremely white, attracting people's attention.
Her originally tied ponytail was untied, now floating casually and fluffy behind her head. Her lipstick was even redder, and her fair skin and red lips made her look extremely gorgeous.
Li Wan walked up to Xiao Ze and turned around in front of him, with an innocent look in her eyes and a smug smile on her face: "What's wrong? Didn't you ask me to change into a longer skirt?"
For the first time, Xiao Ze didn't know how to treat her. He fixed his eyes on her face and gritted his teeth: "Li Wan, are you deliberately going against me?"
Xiao Ze, who usually keeps his emotions to himself, was pushed to this point.
If Fu Xiangjun were here, she would also be shocked.
Li Wan was not afraid, but took the initiative to hug his neck, and lay in his arms, tilting her head back, looking up at him, and blinking innocently: "You are not satisfied with this set? What should I do? I must go out today."
Although she acted like a young girl, she didn't look pretentious at all.
There is a delicate and charming aura.
Xiao Ze's eyes slid across Li Wan's chest, and he felt as if they were burning. He couldn't stand the thought of her going out in public dressed like this: "Go change back into that outfit you just wore."
Li Wan suppressed a smile: "Didn't you say that the outfit was inappropriate?"
Xiao Ze stared at her steadily with his cold black eyes, signaling her with his eyes to stop.
Li Wan decided to stop when she saw that she was ahead and withdrew her arm, but she still wanted to get the upper hand: "If you ask me to change, I will change. Men are troublesome——"
She went upstairs with cheerful steps.
Xiao Ze's temples twitched twice, and he didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
This time, Li Wan changed her clothes and came down in ten minutes.
Just like before, she wore a white shirt with a black pencil skirt and her hair was neatly tied up.
Xiao Ze forced himself to look away from her long white legs and comforted himself that this dress was much more decent than the skirt he was wearing just now.
After Li Wan said goodbye to Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yan in the restaurant, she realized that Xiao Ze had not left yet. She pretended to be surprised: "Huh? Why haven't you left yet?"
"I'll take you there." It should have been a matter of course, but Xiao Ze felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Li Wan smiled: "No need, someone will come to pick me up."
Xiao Ze walked out with a stern face.
Li Wan followed as if nothing had happened.
The two entered the elevator together.
As soon as Li Wan entered the elevator, she held Xiao Ze's hand.
Xiao Ze froze and subconsciously looked down: "What are you doing?"
Li Wan looked at him innocently: "What are you doing? Can't I even hold my husband's hand?"
Li Wan never called him husband.
The first time these two words came out of her mouth, it sounded particularly natural. However, Xiao Ze froze completely, and his hands were also stiff, but he did not pull them away from Li Wan's hand.
She was so cold to me a few days ago, as if she felt disgusted when she saw him, but now she suddenly...
Xiao Ze's heart became hot and cold as Li Wan's attitude became closer and distant. He had never felt before, as if his emotions were out of his control and beyond his control.
He found it difficult to adapt for a while and even felt a little uneasy, with an ominous feeling that something was about to get out of control.
The elevator stopped at the 13th floor.
Yang Hui walked in holding a little boy of four or five years old. When she saw Li Wan, she said in surprise, "Hey? Li Wan, what a coincidence." At the same time, she looked at Xiao Ze twice and smiled slightly.
Xiao Zewei nodded as a greeting.
Li Wan responded with a smile: "Yes. Send Yaoyao to school?"
"Yes. You guys go out together." Yang Hui greeted, glancing at Li Wan's hand.
She saw it clearly just now. When she came in, Li Wan and her husband were holding hands. They hurriedly separated when they saw her come in.
She was secretly surprised. She had heard that Li Wan and her husband had a bad relationship. Her husband didn't come home for ten days or half a month, and he had been having an affair. She also rarely saw Xiao Ze and Li Wan together, so she believed this. In addition, Li Wan's suicide a few days ago made it even more true.
Now it seems that the rumors are indeed not to be believed. It is really impossible for outsiders to tell whether the relationship between a couple is good or not.
Look, they are holding hands in the elevator, how bad can the relationship between the couple be?
She couldn't help but feel a little envious. She and her husband had only been married for six years and they didn't even hold hands.
Li Wan and her husband have been married for more than ten years, and they still hold hands in the elevator.
However, if Yang Hui had not met Xiao Xiao, she would not have believed that the couple had a daughter as old as Xiao Xiao, who looked younger than her.
The strangest thing is, everyone said that Li Wan committed suicide, but how come Li Wan seemed to be in better spirits after this suicide?
This dress is different from before.
Li Wan is already pretty, and after this dress, she looks no different from a girl of about 24 or 25 years old. She is young and beautiful, and her temperament is completely different.
In the past, other people in the community always said that there was such a big gap between Li Wan and Xiao Ze, and it would be strange if Xiao Ze didn't cheat. But now, they just feel that the two of them are no longer a match.
Yang Hui couldn't help but look down at herself in a T-shirt and jeans outfit, then looked at Li Wan's two exposed long legs, and thought to herself that she should also dress up.
The elevator stops at the first floor.
Li Wan turned to Xiao Ze and said, "Hubby, I'm leaving first."
Xiao Ze's ears felt hot when Li Wan called him "husband", and he just hummed with a stiff face.
Li Wan smiled at Yang Hui again, waved to Yaoyao, and then walked out.
The elevator door closed and continued to descend.
Yang Hui was alone in an elevator with Xiao Ze, feeling inexplicably nervous and uneasy.
Fortunately, we soon arrived at the parking lot on the underground first floor.
Xiao Ze took a step forward, stretched out his hand to block the elevator door, and motioned for her and the child to go first.
Yang Hui was stunned for a moment, then immediately felt a liking for him. She thanked him and walked out with the child.
Xiao Ze then walked out of the elevator.
After what she had done just now, Yang Hui relaxed a little and asked with a smile, "What is Li Wan going to do?"
Xiao Ze: “Work.”
After saying that, he nodded slightly, took a step forward, and walked straight to his parking space.
Yang Hui looked at his tall and slender back and realized that the feeling of closeness she had just felt was just an illusion. This man was not someone who was easy to get close to.
…
Before Qi Wen arrived, Li Wan walked towards the entrance of the community.
A black car drove past.
The man in the passenger seat suddenly turned his head and said, "Hey! You actually have this kind of top-notch stuff in your neighborhood!"
The man in the driver's seat heard this and glanced back casually in the rearview mirror. It was a bit far away and he could only vaguely see a slender outline.
The car suddenly stopped.
The man in the passenger seat asked, "Hey, why did you stop the car?"
The man in the driver's seat lowered the window, slowly lit a cigarette, and nonchalantly looked at the figure getting closer and closer in the rearview mirror: "Let's take a look."
Li Wan didn't notice that the car parked on the side of the road was the one that had just passed her. But when she was about to walk straight past it, she noticed a very aggressive gaze and she subconsciously turned her head to take a look.
In the smoke, she saw the flash of a burning cigarette butt and the man's narrow and aggressive eyes behind the smoke.
After just a glance, she withdrew her gaze and walked straight forward without any pause.
"How is it?" the man in the passenger seat came over and asked.
The man slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. He narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on the woman's back: "Not bad."
The man in the passenger seat looked at the woman's straight, white legs under her skirt: "Fuck, these legs——"
The man put the cigarette in his mouth and drove straight past Li Wan.
The man in the passenger seat turned his head subconsciously: "Hey - why are you driving so fast?"
…
Li Wan walked to the gate of the community, and Qi Wen's car drove over.
Li Wan opened the car door and was about to get in when a silver-gray sedan drove out of the community and stopped behind her.
The car door opened, Xiao Ze got out of the car and walked straight over.
Li Wan looked at him with some surprise.
When Qi Wen saw Xiao Ze, she also got out of the car.
Xiao Ze took the initiative to greet Qi Wen: "Hello, I am Li Wan's husband, Xiao Ze."
Qi Wen smiled: "Hello, I am Li Wan's college classmate, Qi Wen."
The two shook hands.
Xiao Ze said: "Please take care of my wife."
Qi Wen smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, you are too polite. It's my duty."
Xiao Ze smiled faintly, then turned to look at Li Wan: "When will you finish? Do you need me to pick you up?"
Li Wan said: "No, I can go back by myself."
…
Qi Wen looked at Xiao Ze standing there watching them through the rearview mirror. Her eyes lingered on his long legs for a moment before she looked away. She glanced at Li Wan in the passenger seat and said jokingly, "I now understand why you chose a man without hesitation back then."
Li Wan has never posted any photo of Xiao Ze on her Moments.
So this was the first time Qi Wen met Li Wan’s husband.
I didn't expect that he was such a good man.
No wonder Li Wan was willing to give up her bright future for him and be the woman behind him.
Li Wan just smiled indifferently.
It is undeniable that judging from his appearance, Xiao Ze is indeed impeccable, and he can attract women's attention wherever he goes.
She did not miss the look of surprise in Qi Wen's eyes the moment she saw Xiao Ze.
This is probably the reason why her sister abandoned even the most basic moral bottom line for Xiao Ze.
Seeing that Li Wan didn't intend to talk about Xiao Ze.
Qi Wen tactfully changed the subject: "We'll go over there and try out the voice first. If the director thinks it's okay, then we'll have the job. But it's normal if we don't get the job. Several voice actors have tried it before, but none of them got the job."
Li Wan smiled and said, "Don't worry. Even if I don't get the face this time, I won't be devastated. I'm ready, whether it's success or failure."
Qi Wen breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
She was just worried that Li Wan was so professional back then and had finally made up her mind to go out and work. If he failed, he might not be able to bear the blow. Now it seems that she was worrying too much.
Qi Wen drove for half an hour to reach the dubbing studio.
Li Wan followed Qi Wen upstairs and watched her greet people familiarly along the way. It was obvious that everyone in the building knew her.
She can now be considered a national-level host, not only with fame but also with a good reputation.
"Xu Lan, this is the classmate I told you about, Li Wan, who was better than me in his major." After Qi Wen introduced Li Wan, she said, "Li Wan, this is the dubbing director Xu Lan. He is also a very famous dubbing actor in China. You can just call him Director Xu."
Li Wan smiled and said, "Hello, Director Xu."
Director Xu looked very young, probably less than 30 years old. He wore thin-rimmed glasses and looked very gentle, but his expression was a bit serious, with a bit of coldness as if he didn't want anyone to approach him.
In response to Li Wan's enthusiasm, he simply said hello, then businesslikely handed her the script and the video that the voice actor had previously dubbed, asking her to get a feel for it.
Li Wan sat alone in a secluded seat and clicked on the video.
…
"How about those in front?" Qi Wen asked.
Xu Lan frowned slightly: "No."
"Don't worry, the people I brought here can definitely save you." Qi Wen said.
Xu Lan didn't even raise his eyes, looking down at the manuscript in his hand: "You said she hasn't done this for more than ten years. No matter how good her profession was, her skills are no longer good."
He had no hope at all, but he had some personal relationship with Qi Wen and was willing to give her face.
When he saw Li Wan just now, he thought she looked more like a female star acting on the screen.
Qi Wen smiled and said, "Don't jump to conclusions. Do you think anyone can be compared to me?"
Xu Lan then raised his eyes, glanced at Qi Wen, then turned his head and glanced towards a corner.
The assistant poured her a cup of coffee. She looked up, a smile on her fair cheeks, and thanked him softly.
Indeed, Qi Wen has always been arrogant. In the past, this arrogance was shown on her face, but now it is hidden in her heart.
There are indeed very few people who can be recognized by her and considered to be comparable to her.
only......
Xu Lan lowered his eyes again: "That was more than ten years ago after all, and she was not a professional voice actor."
"How about we make a bet?" Qi Wen raised her eyebrows with interest.
Xu Lan was not interested: "Not interested."
Qi Wen said: "If this works, you'll owe me a favor."
Xu Lan pushed his glasses and said, "There's no need to bet on this. If she really shows up, I do owe you a favor.
The film will be released online in half a month.
This character is an important one in the anime and has a lot of lines. Even if we start today, the time is already very tight.
Qi Wen smiled and was about to speak.
Li Wan came over with the manuscript and interrupted them politely: "Excuse me. I'm ready. Can I try it first?"
Qi Wen raised her eyebrows slightly: "So fast?" Then she looked at Xu Lan with some pride.
Xu Lan was calm and said calmly, "Let's go into the studio."
Li Wan entered the recording studio.
There is a display screen directly in front, which shows the images and lines that need dubbing in real time.
Li Wan stood in front of the microphone, put on headphones, took a deep breath, and nodded to Xu Lan and Qi Wen outside the transparent glass, indicating that she was ready.
This Chinese cartoon is set in ancient times, and the character she voices is a cold and aloof female character with a complicated life experience.
The most common interjections in the lines are "coldly" and "indifferently", but this kind of coldness and indifference hides some complex emotions that are not easily detected.
It's very difficult.
Li Wan listened to the previous dubbing and could say that it was very good. The popularity of this character was inseparable from the dubbing actor.
Li Wan calmed himself down and his eyes became focused.
