Chapter 523: All the Female Leads I've Played Are Jealous of Me Now
4:00 p.m.
Modu Film Base.
Even though it was daytime, the entire studio was set up to look like nighttime.
Thick blackout curtains blocked out the daylight from outside, leaving only artificial lighting to create the night scene.
At the center of the studio was an elaborately constructed set of a luxury suite interior.
Soft light diffusers were hung all around, adjusting the lighting to a warm, gentle yellow hue.
Staff bustled around the studio—the props team, lighting technicians, makeup artists, and styling team—all moving quickly but in perfect order.
Tang Song, dressed in casual clothes, sat quietly in the rest area, his gaze fixed ahead.
He hadn't seen Su Yu for over an hour. According to her assistant, Cheng Xiaoxi, she had been busy getting her makeup and outfits done.
In the script, the third scene was described very simply.Li Chu returned home, pushed open the bedroom door, and discovered the proposal scene set up by her boyfriend, Gu Heng.
This little scene was actually part of the heroine Li Chu's imagination—a simple flashback segment used as an illusory snapshot during the film’s climax.
"Ring ring ring—" The phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
【Sun Jiayue】
Tang Song picked up the phone and answered in a low voice, "Hello, what’s up, Jiayue?"
On the other end, Sun Jiayue hesitated for a moment, then spoke apologetically, "Tang Song, I have something to tell you. Is now a good time?"
Hearing her voice, Tang Song raised his eyebrows, "Sure, go ahead."
"It’s like this," Sun Jiayue took a deep breath, her tone slightly heavy, "there’s been a small change for the 'Investor Night' event on the 8th. I have an important client who wants to attend, and I only have two invitations, so... about the thing I asked you to help with before, let's forget it."
Tang Song frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed, not really angry.
From Sun Jiayue’s perspective, if a client requested it, she couldn’t very well refuse.
In truth, if it weren’t for the fact that he was already planning to attend, plus Liu Qingning’s encouragement, he wouldn’t have agreed in the first place.
Given his current status, pretending to be some “tech rising star” was a bit beneath him.
If he truly wanted to help his old classmate, he could just throw some money her way—a few million meant nothing to him now.
Choosing to accompany Sun Jiayue was partly to give an old classmate a lesson, but also genuinely to offer support.
After all, he would be attending as a representative of Rongliu Capital, and with him, the people and networks Sun Jiayue could access would far exceed her current level.
It was a rare opportunity.
Thinking it over, Tang Song said casually, "If that’s the case, then forget it."
Hearing that he wasn’t angry, Sun Jiayue let out a long sigh of relief, her tone much lighter, "I'm really sorry, Tang Song. There’ll be lots of chances like this in the future. Next time you’re free, let’s meet up again. Oh right, are you still staying at the JW Marriott? Once I’m done with this, I’ll treat you to a fancy meal to make up for it."
"No need. It wasn’t anything serious anyway," Tang Song said lightly.
"I just... feel bad..."
Just then—
"Tap tap tap—" Footsteps approached.
Cheng Xiaoxi appeared in front of him, followed by two crew members.
Tang Song said in a low voice, "Alright Jiayue, I have something to do here, we’ll talk later."
"Okay, talk later, bye-bye."
He hung up.
Cheng Xiaoxi bent down and whispered, "President Tang, Sister Yu is ready. We're about to start shooting."
"Alright."
Tang Song stood up and followed them into the shooting area of the studio.
When he lifted his head, the first thing he saw was Su Yu after her costume change.
She was wearing a silver haute couture mermaid gown, the tailoring perfectly outlining her curvy figure.
Her makeup was exquisite but not overly heavy, and the gloss on her lips shimmered under the lights.
She radiated a kind of indescribable nobility and elegance, like a brilliant star.
Su Yu was speaking softly with the director, a faint smile at her lips, her aura bright and lively.
When she turned her head, her amber-colored eyes lit up slightly, smiling warmly at Tang Song.
Their eyes met, and Tang Song’s heart shook violently.
The scene before him instantly reminded him of Christmas in 2018—Su Yu’s birthday.
She had worn a similar silver gown, sitting on his bed for four hours, waiting silently for his response.
Tang Song had just broken free from dream memories then, and that image was deeply imprinted in his mind.
He also remembered the hesitation, disappointment, and sadness when she turned and left.
Tang Song took a deep breath, emotions swirling inside him.
Movie star, I’m sorry.
....
"Action!" With Director Lin Mouchuan’s command, the entire set instantly fell silent. Read full story at NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the scene to unfold.
The camera slowly moved in, starting with the door being gently pushed open.
The heroine, Li Chu (played by Su Yu), stepped lightly into the room, her movements graceful and elegant.
The camera shifted, focusing on her face.
First surprise, then daze, and finally, silent tears rolling down her cheeks.
Each change of expression unfolded like a slowly unrolling scroll, deeply moving.
Su Yu walked forward carefully, as if afraid of disturbing the scene before her.
The scene gradually shifted to her back—her tall, slender figure made even more striking by the candlelight.
The room’s layout was revealed little by little with her steps.
The floor was covered in vibrant red roses, forming a carpet leading deep into happiness.
At the end of the rose path was a large heart-shaped pattern made of red and white roses, dotted with flickering candles, the shadows dancing on the walls.
Moonlight poured through the windows, blending with the soft mist inside, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
Su Yu stepped into the center of the heart, her gaze hazy, her expression dazed.
Her gown flowed like water to the ground.
Her dark, silky hair floated lightly, brushing against her snowy white shoulders and exposed back—every frame looked like a work of art.
"Step, step, step—" A steady rhythm of footsteps sounded, and Tang Song’s figure appeared on screen.
Su Yu turned around, her fair, proud chest gleaming under the candlelight with a pure porcelain sheen.
Su Yu looked up, her eyes misty with tears.
At that moment, she looked almost otherworldly in her beauty.
Tang Song was stunned by her beauty once again, momentarily forgetting his actions, just standing there, dazed, staring at her—
As if the whole world had condensed into the presence of this movie star.
Director Lin Mouchuan tactfully did not interrupt, instead signaling the cameraman and lighting crew to lower their heads, avoiding the scene.
The room was enveloped in absolute silence, only the faint flicker of candle flames could be heard.
After a long while, Tang Song finally came to his senses. He dropped to one knee among the petals, pulling a diamond ring from his pocket.
His movements were genuine and firm, as if he had completely merged with the character.
Su Yu lowered her head to gaze at the ring in Tang Song’s hand, her amber eyes flickering with indescribable emotion.
The hazy lights shrouded them both.
Tang Song reached out and took her left hand, slowly slipping the ring onto her ring finger.
Su Yu’s eyelashes trembled slightly, tears sliding down her cheeks, but a brilliant smile lit up her face.
Joy, emotion, and happiness intertwined, layered beautifully through her performance.
Every subtle expression change was executed with perfection, carrying immense emotional power and charm.
"Cut!" Director Lin Mouchuan stood up, his eyes bright, speaking with excited affirmation, "Excellent! That was amazing! Even though there were some pauses, with a bit of editing and post-production, it'll be absolutely perfect!"
Tang Song’s cameo as Gu Heng was only for a flashback scene.
Even though this scene was filmed quite long, it would probably be trimmed down to just two or three shots.
However, the performance just now from Tang Song and Su Yu far exceeded his expectations.
That pure love and deep emotion were vividly captured through the lens.
He felt that at this very moment, Su Yu had reached the peak of her acting career.
She had breathed soul into the character—every expression, every movement conveyed the layered joy and emotion inside "Li Chu."
If this footage were posted online, it would definitely go viral.
Tang Song slowly stood up, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on the actress, reaching out to wipe away her tears.
Su Yu took a deep breath, her snow-white skin flushed faintly pink with excitement,
breathtakingly beautiful.
"Come on, let’s go check the footage," Su Yu tugged his arm and led him over to the monitors.
The screen began playing the playback.
Su Yu stood there, repeatedly watching the scene where Tang Song knelt down and placed the ring on her finger, her eyes filled with emotion.
Director Lin Mouchuan said, "Congratulations, Su Yu. I feel like this might be your best on-screen performance yet."
Although he sometimes threw out compliments, when it came to film artistry, he did have high standards—so this time, he made no suggestion to reshoot.
This version, with good editing, would be absolutely stunning.
Su Yu nodded, "It’s indeed very good."
Hearing this, the staff all quietly sighed in relief. Over the past two days, every cameo scene Su Yu and Tang Song shot had taken two or three hours and countless retakes.
Just when everyone thought this scene was about to wrap up, Su Yu suddenly paused, then looked up at Director Lin Mouchuan and calmly said, "Director Lin, actually, I have a suggestion, if you don't mind."
"Oh? Go ahead," Lin Mouchuan quickly leaned in.
Su Yu pointed at the monitor screen, "Maybe we could film some additional follow-up scenes. It might make the whole segment more complete. These could be used to supplement the movie’s climax or cut into behind-the-scenes footage for promotion later."
Hearing this, the crew exchanged glances, and someone couldn’t help sneaking a peek at Tang Song.
Lin Mouchuan’s eye twitched slightly.
Alright, you’re the financier and the producer—whatever you say, goes.
He then solemnly nodded, "You’re right. My suggestion is, let’s go straight into a bed scene. That’ll make the emotional transition smoother and add more emotional resonance to the film."
Hearing the word "bed scene," Tang Song’s heartbeat suddenly sped up.
He glanced meaningfully at Lin Mouchuan—good grief, you really know your stuff!
With directors like you, Huaxia cinema is in good hands!
Su Yu’s lips curved slightly, pretending to hesitate, "Hmm... okay then, let’s go with the director’s idea."
Immediately, Lin Mouchuan started explaining the scene to them while having the crew rearrange the set.
There were no injuries to speak of.
Abi had been running the whole time and didn’t even lock eyes with a gnoll for two seconds. His only issue was a slight strain in his right arm muscles from a rash move at the start.
Berg broke a sweat.
Having used his acceleration combat skill to kite two gnolls for the entire fight, he had consumed a fair amount of stamina but didn’t suffer a single wound.
In comparison, it was Adeline, the stronger one, who took a light injury that needed some bandaging—because before Xia Nan rushed in to help, she had to hold off two gnolls, including the "Flesh-Eater," all by herself.
After the battle, it naturally moved into the classic phase of cleaning up the battlefield.
Unlike in games, where you just click the mouse a few times and your character magically loots a whole pile of treasures—or a loot chest suddenly spawns out of thin air—
in reality, you had to literally search every bloodied, foul corpse inch by inch, strip armor and clothes off with your own hands, endure the stink of rotting flesh all the way back to town, and haggle for half a day with the stingy, miserly general store owner.
Only then would you finally get some fragrant gold coins in your pocket.
It wasn’t easy at all.
Maybe because he felt guilty about being of little help, or even holding the team back during the fight,
Abi was unusually eager.
Without needing anyone to tell him, he proactively stepped forward to handle the dirty work of cleaning up the corpses.
It was worth mentioning that the enemies they had worried about on the return trip finally showed up and were defeated,
which briefly restored Berg’s nerves after two days of subtle unease.
It was obvious he would gradually return to normal as they left Mistveil Forest and approached the safer River Valley Town.
The haul was mediocre.
This was typical for gnoll tribes that roamed the wastelands without settling down.
They rarely saved up anything.
All they had of value were second-hand gear looted from other adventurers.
But these upright beasts had no concept of maintenance.
Their crude usage and the harsh conditions of Mistveil Forest meant most of the gear was already falling apart after just a few days.
Even if they hauled everything back, the total might fetch only a dozen or twenty gold at most—not much.
Across the whole battlefield, the most valuable item turned out to be the head of the "Gnoll Flesh-Eater."
——It had a bounty of 120 gold on the Guild’s bounty board.
The situation was the opposite of their usual goblin-clearing missions:
this time, the loot was mediocre, but the bounty became the main source of income.
Of course, following Green Blood’s usual payment distribution rules,
Xia Nan, who made outstanding contributions and played a critical role in the fight, would be entitled to at least half of the bounty when they returned to River Valley Town.
Though it still wasn’t as much as his previous missions, it was definitely a nice payday.
"These gnolls... did they already fight a bunch of adventurer teams before us? Why are they all injured?"
Abi busily picked up scattered corpses off the ground, frowning in confusion.
The wounds caused by Green Blood were easy to distinguish.
Ignoring himself, Adeline dealt blunt damage with her hammer, Berg preferred arrows, and Xia Nan exclusively went for decapitation.
Any other wounds on the gnoll corpses were clearly from before the battle and had nothing to do with them.
Hearing this, Xia Nan found it strange too.
He had already noticed during the fight.
Almost every gnoll had large burned areas on their bodies, as if they'd been scorched by fire.
A few even had their backs almost entirely singed, leaving only blackened, charred patches.
The injuries weren’t minor.
It had clearly weakened the "Flesh-Eater" elite, whose strength was supposed to rival that of a Bugbear,
allowing Xia Nan, who had just leveled 【Fang Hunt】 to lv3, to take him down effortlessly.
"Maybe... it was the 'Iron Hand' team’s doing?"
Xia Nan grew more certain of his earlier guess.
After all, that team was strong.
Setting aside his own temporary membership, their overall strength was way above Green Blood’s.
Even facing a gnoll ambush, they wouldn’t have been defenseless.
The capture and brutal death of their captain George must have cost the gnolls something too.
As for the burn marks on the gnolls...
it was unlikely caused by spellcasters—low-tier adventurer teams like theirs couldn’t possibly afford a magic user.
But things like "Fire-Oil Bombs" were readily sold at stores in town.
He himself had three tucked in his pocket.
Nothing unusual.
"Hurry up and finish cleaning the bodies. We need to move camps before dark."
Right now it was the dead of night, the most dangerous time in the forest,
when many nocturnal monsters roamed about.
Gnolls didn’t bathe, and the stink off their bodies could be smelled dozens of meters away.
Adding the fresh blood scent, it was very likely to attract nearby predators.
For safety, Green Blood definitely couldn’t stay here.
Fortunately, thanks to her rich experience, Adeline had already thought about this before setting up camp and memorized several backup spots.
The terrain was decent.
Now all they had to do was deal with the corpses a little, pack up, and leave immediately without even bothering to put out the campfire.
It would still be risky during the half-hour walk, but far safer than randomly picking a spot in the woods to camp.
Not a second was wasted.
After the fight, Adeline only briefly bandaged the urgent wounds on her body before rushing back to help clean up the battlefield.
Only then did she get a good look at the few gnoll corpses at her feet—
the ones that could’ve wiped out their entire team not long ago, now lying there utterly motionless.
"Decapitation, decapitation, decapitation..."
A flash of iron-gray light crossed her vision—
it was Xia Nan nearby, carefully scraping a bit of flesh off his sword.
Adeline couldn’t help but mutter inwardly,
wondering if he had some strange obsession.
Then again, it wasn’t unusual.
This line of work was brutal; after so many years in River Valley Town, she had seen plenty of adventurers develop minor psychological issues.
Compared to alcoholism or gambling,
being obsessed with "decapitation" was barely even a problem.
As she continued tidying up, her gaze fell onto the "Flesh-Eater’s" riddled corpse.
Her mind involuntarily replayed the scene of that ghostly wolf-shaped shadow roaring past her earlier,
formed from mere air and grass debris.
For the first time, Adeline seriously doubted her own judgment.
She subconsciously lifted her head and glanced toward Xia Nan.
Her eyes scanned over him.
"This kid..."
"Is he really still without a Professional Rank?"
Rose petals were scattered across the bed, and the candlelight was adjusted to an even softer glow.
"Action!"
The camera switched to the bedside, where Tang Song gently picked up Su Yu, laying her down on the bed before slowly leaning over her.
Su Yu’s body curled slightly, her eyes filled with shyness and hazy longing.
Her fingers slid down along Tang Song’s shoulder, her movements slow and teasing, exuding a strong sense of sensuality.
Breathing in the rich fragrance from her body and feeling the sensation of Su Yu under him, Tang Song felt like he was about to catch fire.
He kissed her lips, enveloping Su Yu’s perfect body beneath him, his hands lightly caressing her mermaid gown, feeling the smooth, radiant skin she exposed.
The air grew hotter.
The camera slowly moved to capture the overlapping shadows of their bodies, a scene so beautiful and romantic it seemed even the air was filled with sweetness.
Su Yu unleashed her top-tier acting skills.
Though there were no lines, every movement, every glance between them was dripping with tension and allure.
Tang Song's body and soul trembled for her.
However, the shoot still wasn’t "going smoothly"—mostly because of Tang Song’s poor performance.
His expressions were stiff, his movements awkward, sometimes even blocking the camera...
After several repeated NGs,
the film queen Su Yu was visibly frustrated. She righteously said, "Director Lin, Tang Song is acting for the first time after all, and he’s a pure amateur. Maybe it's because there are too many people watching that he can't get into character."
Lin Mouchuan’s mouth twitched, then he immediately said, "Alright, let’s clear the set and let you two rehearse alone?"
Su Yu sighed, "Fine, that’s the only way. I’ll try to guide him and get him into the mood faster."
"Good!" Lin Mouchuan nodded vigorously, signaling the cameraman and lighting crew to clear the area.
The brown door slowly closed, and soon, only the two of them were left in the room.
Looking at Su Yu standing there, Tang Song’s breathing quickened.
Actually, Su Yu was right. Over the past three days, all their intimate scenes had been filmed under the cold gaze of the cameras.
He didn’t have any kind of exhibitionist tendencies, so naturally he felt uncomfortable.
And with the female star—at most he had only touched her through clothing.
Now that everyone was gone, it was hard not to have some bold thoughts.
Just then, Su Yu suddenly turned and walked to the door.
"Click." She locked the door with a firm twist.
Immediately afterward, the cameras, the monitors, and the lights were all manually shut off.
Tang Song swallowed, "Su Yu..."
"Mm?" Su Yu tilted her head slightly, her bright eyes fixed firmly on him.
"You turned everything off?"
"Of course. Some things can't be filmed. They're only for you to see," Su Yu said matter-of-factly.
Tang Song’s heart surged wildly.
Her long gown flowed to the ground like moonlight.
Su Yu stepped toward him, her fingers brushing across his chest. "I'm tired. Hold me for a while, okay?"
"Okay." Tang Song nodded and reached out to wrap an arm around her waist.
But the female star suddenly pushed him, quite forcefully, causing him to fall back onto the bed.
"What’s the point of just hugging?" Su Yu stepped closer, turned sideways, and sat down on his thigh, her body gently swaying.
Tang Song’s eyes widened sharply, his hands instinctively gripping her waist.
Su Yu leaned against his shoulder, closed her eyes, and let out a soft, pleasant sigh.
Tang Song's hands slid over her full hips, her slender back, her nape, and her delicate collarbone, grasping the world’s truths through the thin layer of her gown.
Su Yu’s thick eyelashes trembled slightly. She adjusted her position, making it easier for him to touch her.
Only the sound of fabric rustling filled the room.
After a while,
a whisper brushed his ear: "Let go of me."
Her voice was so light, like a feather brushing the eardrum.
Reluctantly, Tang Song loosened his grip. "What's wrong?"
Su Yu didn’t answer. Instead, she slowly stood up, turning her back to him, her slender fingers reaching behind to find the zipper.
She bent slightly, slowly pulling down the zipper to reveal her ivory-white back, the twin butterfly bones gently rising and falling with her breathing.
Tang Song instantly understood what was about to happen. His breathing grew faster than ever.
Then, she used one hand to hold the fabric against her chest, and with the other, slid the gown off her shoulders.
The silver haute couture dress slipped down to her ankles like flowing water. Stepping forward in her high heels,
her skin glowed like jade, brightening the entire room.
The gentle slope of her lower back, the lace-edged spine, the long and shapely legs, the masterfully crafted curves...
It was a perfect silhouette.
Tang Song held his breath, his eyes scanning every detail.
Su Yu turned around, her chest glowing with a pearly luster, blending seamlessly with her skin,
like snow piling up on blooming flowers—unbearably beautiful.
Their eyes met, and Tang Song instinctively asked, "Are you cold?"
Su Yu let out a magnetic chuckle, her full chest quivering and dizzying to the eye.
She bent down again and straddled Tang Song’s lap, wrapping her arms around his neck and gazing into his eyes.
"You’re beautiful, Su Yu," Tang Song kissed her cheek and said sincerely, "I love you."
Su Yu’s red lips parted slightly, her snowy swan-like neck tilting upward, her chest lifting proudly.
Tang Song took a deep breath, lowered his head slowly, and began to explore the most wonderful truths of the world.
"Mm~~" A trembling moan filled the room, carrying a unique rhythm.
Her eyes misted over, her pupils sometimes soft like spring water, sometimes fierce like a blazing flame.
When his hands slid over her body, the singing changed tune.
The radiant songstress began to sing; the film queen swayed freely.
At this moment, Su Yu was sensual and enchanting to the extreme.
Even her hair seemed to emit a deadly allure.
Tang Song found himself utterly entranced.
He had never seen a seductress that could ruin a nation, but he imagined this must be it.
"Hey, keep going! The director hasn’t yelled cut—you’re not allowed to stop!" Su Yu’s voice was hoarse and urgent, her hand pressing against the back of his head.
The stinging sensation from her nails digging into his skin snapped him back to reality.
Tang Song hugged her burning body, slowly raising his right hand.
Su Yu’s singing turned misty, her body trembling.
Tears slid down her flawless makeup, pooling in the hollow of her collarbone.
Suddenly, she bit his finger, leaving clear indentations from her pearly teeth. "D*mn it, do you know you're torturing me to death!"
"If there were no you in this world, I would really die."
"I've waited for you for too long... We exist in the same world, the same dimension."
"The only one I love is you, no matter what you become, my Tang Song."
Their souls resonated.
In that moment, 【Movie Star - Su Yu】completely materialized from the game, and Tang Song could truly feel the burning soul within her.
She was no longer a flimsy two-dimensional character, but a real person—with her own personality, preferences, flaws, and secrets.
Tears welled up in Tang Song’s eyes as he kissed her hard, whispering, "I'm sorry, my movie star."
After that, Tang Song carried her to the bed, holding her tightly in his arms.
He kissed her hair, forehead, eyes, and nose inch by inch,
feeling the vibrant presence of Su Yu.
8 PM.
The Modu Film Base was bathed in a gentle glow of lights, the air filled with the chill of autumn.
In the distance, the occasional sounds of staff packing up equipment echoed, making the surroundings feel even quieter.
After having dinner together with Su Yu, Tang Song suggested they say their goodbyes.
The three-day set visit had officially come to an end.
Worth mentioning, in the end, they still used the very first take they shot.
This time, Su Yu appeared much calmer.
She just stood there quietly, hands folded in front of her, with a gentle smile on her face,
watching him and Mo Xiangwan get into the car, watching the Maybach disappear into the night.
In the rearview mirror, the figure of the female star gradually blurred, until it completely faded into the darkness.
Tang Song leaned back against the seat, his head lowered, silent.
Scenes from the past few days kept flashing through his mind—
the shyness during their first kiss scene confession, the fiery moment when he pinned her against the elevator wall,
the way she focused so seriously while explaining lines during shooting breaks,
and her emotional confessions on the bed...
He didn’t know how much time had passed when suddenly, a clear system notification sounded in his ear.
"Ding! Congratulations, player, the character interaction mission 【Set Visit and Cameo】 has been completed."
"Ding! You have received 【Character Interaction Gift Pack *1】."
Tang Song snapped out of his thoughts.
Opening the system inventory,
he selected the 【Character Interaction Gift Pack】 and immediately used it.
【You have received attribute rewards: Constitution +2, Endurance +1, Agility +1】
【You have received a special item: Su Yu's Soul Hymn】
The rewards were far more generous than he had expected.
All three major attributes were boosted,
and he also obtained a special item, 【Su Yu’s Soul Hymn】.
He wasn’t unfamiliar with this item—he had gotten it once before during his inner growth phase.
In the celebrity nurturing game, he had given Su Yu a lot of buffs, endowing her with many talents and skills.
Now, it seemed like he was being repaid.
In the inventory, a purple-glowing item appeared.
【Su Yu’s Soul Hymn】: After use, you will receive a sincere blessing and praise from the character Su Yu, granting you a random skill she has mastered.
【Note: All the female leads I’ve ever played... are jealous of the me right now...】
Staring at the newly updated note below, Tang Song felt a difficult-to-describe stirring in his heart.
He sat there blankly for a moment.
Then he selected 【Su Yu’s Soul Hymn】 and immediately used it.
【Selecting skill from character "Movie Star - Su Yu"...】
【You have obtained 「Music - Violin Skill」】
【This skill will be "awakened" after you fall asleep tonight.】
The black Maybach slowly pulled up outside Suhewan Huacheng.
"Tang President, we've arrived."
"Mm."
They both got out of the car,
Tang Song walking a few steps ahead, only then realizing that Mo Xiangwan hadn’t followed.
He turned back, puzzled, looking at her.
Mo Xiangwan pursed her lips, her expression calm as she said,
"Today is the last day of the holiday. Starting tomorrow, it’s back to work. I won’t go in and disturb Ms. Kate anymore."
Tang Song paused for a moment.
Over these few days, he had gotten used to the manager accompanying him everywhere, almost forgetting that she was only there to "supervise" him on behalf of Su Yu.
Looking at the elegant and upright Mo Xiangwan standing under the night sky,
Tang Song walked up to her.
"Goodbye. Thank you, Tang President, for accompanying Xiao Yu these past three days."
This woman, usually known for her decisiveness and fierce aura as the head of Tangzong Entertainment,
now had a rare softness on her face, half-hidden under the dim night lights.
Tang Song hesitated for a moment, then opened his arms and gently hugged Mo Xiangwan.
Her body stiffened slightly but quickly relaxed.
Tang Song patted her back lightly, his voice sincere and deep,
"Thank you, Manager. You’ve done very well, extremely well all these years."
At first, he recruited Mo Xiangwan to pave the way for Su Yu, helping complete the star cultivation mission.
However, once his focus shifted away from Su Yu and the entertainment industry,
he had also unconsciously overlooked her existence.
Su Yu needed comfort, and maybe, she did too.
Hearing his words, Mo Xiangwan’s previously steady breathing suddenly became rapid.
After a long while, she slowly raised her arms and gently hugged Tang Song back.
