“I understand your intentions. I think we can get our marriage certificate first and wait until your entertainment career reaches saturation before going public. What do you think?” Song Nanqiao touched the girl’s head and said softly.
She certainly understood Wen Wenyao’s heart, but going public at this moment would be premature. Wen Wenyao was only twenty-two years old and had a bright future ahead. She could win several more Best Actress awards.
Song Nanqiao hoped that Wen Wenyao could achieve even more success.
She didn’t want to be the only thing in Wen Wenyao’s world.
“Hmph, you just don’t want to marry me. By the time my career saturates, it will probably take three to five more years.” Wen Wenyao didn’t buy it; she had everything she needed except for Song Nanqiao.
She was also waiting for Song Nanqiao to take over the Wen family’s businesses, which would make her life much easier.
“So, I suggest we get married first. With a marriage certificate, we’ll have a legal relationship. I’ll only marry you in my lifetime.”
“But… what if you run away?” Wen Wenyao held Song Nanqiao’s hand tightly; if Song Nanqiao left again, she would lose her mind.
She couldn’t bear the cost of Song Nanqiao leaving her again.
“I promise I will never leave you unless I die.”
As soon as Song Nanqiao finished speaking, Wen Wenyao covered her mouth in fear.
“Don’t say such ominous things; it makes me angry.” Wen Wenyao seemed genuinely upset, staring at Song Nanqiao with her peach-blossom eyes fixed firmly on her.
“Alright, alright, I won’t say it anymore. Just trust me. I’ll make more time to be with you.”
Song Nanqiao kissed her on the forehead as she got up.
“It’s getting late; do you want dinner?”
“Yeah.”
“I’ll have some nourishing soup sent over; make sure to have more.”
…
At night, after they finished dinner, Wen Wenyao received a phone call on the balcony.
It was from her manager.
“Miss Wen.”
“Good evening, Sister Lan. What’s up?”
“Well, the director of ‘Edge of the Abyss’ wants you to shoot the final scene.”
“Alright… do I have to leave tomorrow?”
“Yes, I’ll pick you up at nine in the morning. The director is quite insistent.”
Sister Lan knew that Wen Wenyao had been attending award ceremonies and events, so she was already tired. However, there was a lot of pressure to finish the film on time, and not returning promptly might lead to negative rumors.
“Okay.” Wen Wenyao furrowed her brows; she was feeling conflicted.
She glanced at Song Nanqiao in the room. She had originally planned to stay at home and take good care of her, spending more time together.
Hmm… she was starting to regret not leaving the entertainment industry earlier.
She walked into the room they shared.
“Nanqiao…”
Wen Wenyao sat next to her.
“Yes?”
Song Nanqiao put down the book she was reading and affectionately touched her girlfriend’s head.
“I have to go back to work tomorrow.” The girl was reluctant, holding onto Song Nanqiao’s hand and not wanting to let go.
“For how long?”
“Probably a week. I’ll be back soon.”
After saying this, she added, “A week… hmm, I’ll have to wait a week to see you.”
“A week will pass quickly.”
Song Nanqiao hugged her, and her girlfriend was really a clingy person.
“Promise me you’ll make video calls with me every day.”
“Sure.”
“If you forget, I’ll go on strike and come find you.”
Wen Wenyao leaned in close to her cheek, planting a firm kiss. If it weren’t for Song Nanqiao’s health issues, she would have been eager to be intimate with her.
But she could only think about it; her actions were limited by Song Nanqiao’s condition.
“Alright, alright, I won’t forget. You should get some rest early tonight; you have to wake up early tomorrow.”
Song Nanqiao didn’t need Wen Wenyao to remind her; she would definitely video call her every day.
After taking a shower, the two of them lay on the same bed. Wen Wenyao was as clingy as ever, insisting on cuddling into Song Nanqiao’s arms before she was willing to sleep.
…
The next day.
Before Wen Wenyao got up, Song Nanqiao prepared breakfast for her. After she woke up, she obediently ate breakfast and then went to her room to put on light makeup.
When the manager honked the horn downstairs, Wen Wenyao had just finished getting ready.
She was wearing an exclusive custom-made shirt, with a French black ribbon tied around it. With each step she took, she exuded an air of nobility. When she put on her sunglasses, it added an aura of unapproachability.
Song Nanqiao, who was watching nearby, couldn’t help but be stunned.
“Do I look good?”
The girl removed her sunglasses and smiled confidently.
“You look great, my girlfriend is the most beautiful,” Song Nanqiao spoke the absolute truth.
“Hmm, when I come back, you have to start calling me ‘wife.'”
“Why?”
“When I come back, we’ll go get our marriage certificate.”
“Okay,” Song Nanqiao readily agreed.
As soon as Song Nanqiao finished speaking, the girl leaned in and kissed Song Nanqiao’s lips.
The girl’s kisses were sweet, her soft lips pressed against Song Nanqiao’s, enveloping her gently with every movement. Once Song Nanqiao got into the groove, the girl used her tongue to part her lips, gradually deepening the kiss.
Wen Wenyao wasn’t in a hurry; she kissed slowly, her actions tender and delicate. She closed her eyes, seemingly enjoying this kiss immensely. When they were both out of breath, she finally released Song Nanqiao for a moment, then leaned in again.
Song Nanqiao was equally eager, holding onto the girl’s waist and pulling her closer, greedily taking in her fragrance.
Outside the villa, the manager was puzzled as she honked the horn a couple more times.
“I have to go now…” Wen Wenyao, her face flushed, pulled away from Song Nanqiao’s embrace.
If they kept kissing like this, she wouldn’t want to leave at all.
“Yes, we’ll see each other in a week.”
“I don’t want to leave you…”
“A week will pass quickly. After I finish filming, I’ll be with you all the time,” Song Nanqiao bent down and kissed Wen Wenyao’s forehead.
“Okay.”
Finally, she was consoled. Wen Wenyao put on her mask and sunglasses again, and in the presence of Song Nanqiao’s gaze, got into the car.
When she couldn’t see Song Nanqiao anymore, Wen Wenyao whispered “719” in the car.
“719?”
“Yeah?”
“Please keep an eye on Song Nanqiao for me. She’s not in good health, and I’m worried when I’m not around.”
Wen Wenyao frowned slightly. She knew Song Nanqiao was a workaholic, and when she wasn’t around, Song Nanqiao might push herself too hard to work. She also worried about her safety when she was away from home.
“Well, she’s a grown adult; I’m sure she’ll be fine.”
“I’m asking you to do it.”
“Alright, alright, Miss, whatever you say, Miss,” 719 replied obediently. She had no choice but to stick to Song Nanqiao.
After a while, when Wen Wenyao called out to 719 several times without a response, she finally felt relieved. This meant that 719 was already with Song Nanqiao.
…
After Wen Wenyao left, on Song Nanqiao’s side…
Song Nanqiao leaned on her computer desk. She wouldn’t waste these days of rest, even though Wen Wenyao didn’t want her to work. Now that Wen Wenyao had left, nothing could stop her from working passionately.
Coincidentally, these days, the company was preparing to recruit new trainees.
Song Nanqiao browsed through the profiles of these trainees on her computer. Most of them were seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls, all with youthful dreams of entering the entertainment industry and making a name for themselves.
“Hmm? Shu Baiye?” Song Nanqiao saw the little artist she had followed in her previous life, according to the dates, the artist had indeed joined the company at this time.
Song Nanqiao carefully reviewed her resume; she was especially interested in this girl.
In her previous life, this young artist had gained fame after her debut, pursuing the idol path. Over the years, she had become a household name and won numerous awards for her singing and dancing. She was also known for her strong work ethic and lack of scandals.
Song Nanqiao hoped to give this girl a chance to shine even brighter.
In a talent agency, the key is to nurture a top-tier artist. Once you have one, everything becomes easier, and the money keeps flowing in.
With this in mind, Song Nanqiao made a call to her secretary.
“Miss Song, is there anything you need?” the secretary asked.
“When are the auditions for the trainees in the idol department?”
“Do you mean the actor’s department or the idol department?”
“The idol department.”
“It will be five days from now because this time, in addition to the traditional singing and dancing auditions, there’s also a runway show, so we asked the trainees to prepare for it.”
“Alright.”
After getting the details, Song Nanqiao hung up the phone.
Since the auditions were in five days, she decided to stay at home and take care of some minor company matters in the meantime. When the auditions started, she would go and observe.
Due to her physical condition, Song Nanqiao hadn’t been working for a long time. Although she loved to work, she couldn’t work as much as before. She worked for about six to seven hours a day, finishing her tasks for the day before there was nothing left to do.
In her free time, she would video call Wen Wenyao.
Wen Wenyao was very attached to her and seemed to want to talk to her for a long time each time. When the film crew started working, Wen Wenyao would reluctantly return to her work but not before they exchanged many kisses.
Song Nanqiao, who was usually very serious, had also become accustomed to these affectionate calls.
After each call, Wen Wenyao would remind Song Nanqiao to rest early.
Five days later, Song Nanqiao went to the company early in the morning.
Today was the day for the trainee auditions, and as the first batch of trainees since the company’s establishment, Song Nanqiao naturally attached great importance to them.
As soon as she entered the company, the first floor was crowded with cute girls.
Most of them were still students, carrying dreams of entering the entertainment industry and showing their talents.
“Everyone, please be quiet. Our company’s chairman has arrived. Please make way for her.”
The first-floor staff and security guards surrounded Song Nanqiao, and when she passed by them, many of the trainees gathered up the courage to greet her.
“Hello, Chairman Song.”
“Good morning, Chairman Song.”
“Is the boss here to watch our auditions?”
A few well-prepared trainees watched Song Nanqiao for quite a while. Thanks to her good taste, Song Nanqiao noticed them, and during the auditions, she would have the staff and teachers pay more attention to them.
“Do you have any favorites among the trainees, Chairman?”
“I understand your intentions. I think we can get our marriage certificate first and wait until your entertainment career reaches saturation before going public. What do you think?” Song Nanqiao touched the girl’s head and said softly.
She certainly understood Wen Wenyao’s heart, but going public at this moment would be premature. Wen Wenyao was only twenty-two years old and had a bright future ahead. She could win several more Best Actress awards.
