nJian Qi smirked and acted like she didn’t see it. Lifting her leg and stepping on the manager’s leg with the heel of her high heeled shoe, she made the woman screech in pain and fall onto the ground.

n“Oh, it seems like someone’s lost their footing.” Jian Qi looked down on the manager with an elegant but mocking smile. “Who gave you the courage to bully what’s mine?”

nHer arrogant attitude angered the manager, but she couldn’t even say a word due to the pain.

nCoco saw this and quickly pulled Jian Qi away from the scene.

n“Let’s not stand out too much…”

n“Oh, alright.”

nJian Qi had already been holding back. If it wasn’t for the fact that she was looking out for Coco, that woman would have already been on her way to the hospital!

nThe upcoming scene that Jian Qi was about to act out was the scene where her character, Lady Kao, fell in love with the protagonist at first sight.

n“Action!” Directed the director using a megaphone.

nQiao Bo acted as the protagonist, donning a black suit and a fedora as he walked into the Divine Beauty Club. The entire foyer was filled with the hustle and bustle of people, while Qiao Bo made his way through the crowd swiftly as a group of men in black entered the building hot on his trail.

nJust as they were about to chase down Qiao Bo, the singing stopped, and everyone quieted down.

nAround the corner of the hallway came Jian Qi. Like a portrait come to life, every move and flicker of her gaze attracted the attention of everyone in the room as she walked into the fray with a strong aura.

nThen, she leaned her shoulder against the wall and quirked an eyebrow at the scene, her aura both seductive yet giving the impression that she couldn’t be touched.

nThe aura of everyone on set locked onto her immediately.

nTang Jinyu’s gaze fell onto her smile, which was both proud and even holding some disdain for everyone. Even though she was in the red light district, her aura and disposition made it so that she didn’t quite belong there.

nBut at the same time, the natural allure that she had was fitting of her current identity.

nFrom the information that Feng Yi had given to him, Jian Qi’s acting was mediocre. Even though she had been in the industry for a decade now, she had always been acting as supporting or side characters, and so she was well known as just a pretty face!

nIn other words, this woman was a thousand-year side character!

nBut now it seemed that he had been given the wrong information.

nIf her acting was mediocre, then what were those other actors that acted before this doing?

nWere they playing make-believe?

nJian Qi stood at a high vantage point as her gaze met with Qiao Bo’s.

nIt is said that love at first sight is like a firework blooming in the darkness. A gaze was all it took for her to fall!

nHappiness, admiration, shyness, nervousness, possessiveness…All these emotions were hidden in her gaze, only showing hints of her infatuation in the depths of her eyes.

nToo many emotions flickered in her eyes in a split second, conveying the character perfectly.

nAfter their gazes met for a fleeting moment, Qiao Bo left.

nSeeing the group of men that were following after Qiao Bo, Jian Qi’s gaze flickered with worry as she put on a facade, smiling at the crowd downstairs.

n“Cut!” The director said with satisfaction. “Pass!”

nCoco finally reacted and quickly made his way over, praising. “Baby, you gave me a surprise there!”

nRen Ranran and her manager, who were waiting to see Jian Qi get humiliated, both frowned.

nThey didn’t expect Jian Qi, who had always been taking airheaded roles, to excel in acting out such a complex character!

nJian Qi’s gaze fell on them both, and she smiled provocatively, her smile arrogant and confident as she emanated a strong aura!
