A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire

Chapter 415: Snatching the Role!

Compared to Mu Yan’s excitement, Zhao Xiyue’s attitude was undeniably indifferent.Her expression was cold and detached as she said, "Everyone is waiting for me, I’ll head over first."

"Alright, you go ahead, I’ll wait for you here," Mu Yan replied with a smile, as if unaware of her aloofness.

Zhao Xiyue said nothing, withdrew her gaze, and headed towards the main entrance.

Watching her back, Mu Yan felt a real sense of relief; it was good enough just to see her.

Suddenly, Luo Yao’s voice came from beside her, "Mu Yan, don’t you think Zhao Xiyue’s attitude towards you is a bit strange?"

"Hmm?" Mu Yan looked at her in surprise.

Luo Yao hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think she seems to have an issue with you."

Mu Yan paused, could it be?

Seeing she wasn’t catching on, Luo Yao reminded her, "Today’s event was originally yours, but she snagged it from you."

"She wouldn’t!" Mu Yan said firmly.

She was willing to believe there was a misunderstanding rather than believe Zhao Xiyue was that kind of person.

Luo Yao frowned, "But the facts are right in front of us."

"Enough, don’t say any more," Mu Yan said in a low voice.

Luo Yao gave her a glance but said nothing.

What she could think of, Mu Yan would have thought of too, she just didn’t want to admit it.

Like the lead role in "Deep Palace Secret History," Zhao Xiyue had recommended Mu Yan to audition but then turned around and took the lead role herself, wasn’t she just toying with Mu Yan?

As Mu Yan looked at Zhao Xiyue who was gracefully charming in front of the camera not far away, she hoped she was just overthinking things.

About twenty minutes later, the ribbon-cutting ceremony ended.

Zhao Xiyue came over, surrounded by the crowd, everyone chatting and laughing.

Manager Zhang saw that Mu Yan hadn’t left, and his expression immediately darkened.

He quickly stepped forward and said, "Miss Mu, the event is over, and we will communicate with your agent about the breach of contract, please rest assured."

His implication was for Mu Yan not to make trouble.

Mu Yan ignored him and looked at Zhao Xiyue, asking, "Xiyue, are you done here?"

"Not yet, Mr. Huang and the others invited me for morning tea." Zhao Xiyue’s expression was indifferent, not even glancing at Mu Yan.

Mu Yan was a bit taken aback; since when did she casually eat with others?

"Miss Mu, have you had breakfast? Join us," said a balding man next to Zhao Xiyue.

"No need," Mu Yan replied.

"Alright, Miss Zhao, please then."

Zhao Xiyue smiled slightly, "Mr. Huang, I suddenly remembered I have something else to do, so I can’t have morning tea today."

Things that Mu Yan disdained to do, how could she do them?

Mr. Huang didn’t insist, "We’ll invite Miss Zhao for a meal next time then."

"Sure."

After Zhao Xiyue finished speaking, she went straight to the restroom, and when she changed her clothes and came out, she saw Mu Yan waiting outside.

"Xiyue, let’s find a place to chat," Mu Yan stepped forward and said.

Zhao Xiyue looked at her coldly, a corner of her mouth tugged, "Alright."

Mu Yan felt a bit uneasy, always feeling that this Zhao Xiyue was somewhat unfamiliar.

The two of them chose a nearby café, the seating was towards the inside, relatively private.

After ordering, Mu Yan took a sip of water and casually asked, "Xiyue, have you been busy recently?"

"Busy!" Zhao Xiyue replied calmly.

"Didn’t you say before you’d reduce your workload this year?" Mu Yan looked at her with a face full of doubt.

Zhao Xiyue met her gaze, her mouth tugged slightly, and she said with sarcasm, "If I don’t keep busy, how could I snatch your roles and gigs?"
