No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

“Hello, I’m He Ying, nice to meet you,” Qin Muxuan looked at the slender hand stretched towards her and held it. She smiled and said, “Hello, I am…”

“Qin Xuan. You’ll play Qin Qingqing, and you’re President Gu’s… girlfriend, I know.”

Before Qin Muxuan could finish her sentence, He Ying said it for her. She emphasized the word “girlfriend” as though she meant to point out something.

Qin Muxuan looked at her in confusion, but she only saw her smiling. Qin Muxuan thought she must be overthinking it, but she didn’t notice that the expression on Xu Wei’s face was terrifyingly gloomy.

She was just about to make some small talks with He Ying when Xu Wei closed the script. “Come on. Let’s go inside. The script still needs changing.”

“Huh?” Qin Muxuan was dumbfounded. “But the opening ceremony is about to start.”

“Mr. Xu,” He Ying, who was standing nearby, said faintly, “You really don’t want to see me, do you?”

Qin Muxuan turned her gaze to Xu Wei. Xu Wei pursed his lips tightly and retorted in a hoarse voice, “No, Miss He, you’re thinking too much.”

“Oh… I am glad to hear that,” He Ying lowered her eyelids and looked hurt.

The relationship between the two of them was so conspicuous. If Qin Muxuan couldn’t feel it, then she was no different from being blind.

She chuckled dryly. “I suddenly remember that there’s something I need to deal with. I gotta go.”

With the words, she ran away. She even pretended not to hear him when Xu Wei called her from behind.

He Ying put her hands upon her chest and burst out laughing. “She’s so cute!”

Xu Wei lifted his eyelids and glanced at her. His lips twitched slightly. He wanted to say something, but he did not know how to do that. In the end, he bit his lip and said in a muffled voice, “I’m not interested in her.”

He had always belonged to the elite, but now with him looking somewhat wronged, he was unexpectedly cute, making He Ying want to pinch his face.

However, she held back and just nodded slightly. “I got it.”

That was it?!

Xu Wei was a little dissatisfied and somewhat annoyed. If he had known that was all she was going to say, he wouldn’t have bothered to explain it. This was just so embarrassing!

With that in mind, he snorted coldly and readopted his cool demeanor. He was about to leave, but he heard He Ying behind him talking to him with a smile.

“I know she’s just your muse, but Xu Wei, I’ll still get jealous.”

Xu Wei turned around and looked at her expressionlessly. He Ying couldn’t hold back anymore. She raised her hand and pinched his face, then quickly withdrew it before he got angry and continued to say,

“Also, you need to be careful. What if President Gu got jealous as I do?”

Xu Wei was stunned.

Qin Muxuan, who hurriedly ran to Huang Qi, sneaked a peek and saw He Ying pinching Xu Wei’s face. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

“Where did you go? I’ve been looking for you,” Huang Qi sighed in relief when he saw Qin Muxuan come back. He had been afraid that something bad had happened to her. After all, this opening ceremony was very important to Qin Muxuan.

What happened before had already caused a huge impact on Qin Muxuan. There were still many netizens scolding her online.

Moreover, for a celebrity, being competent was more important than getting traffic. Huang Qi hoped that Qin Muxuan could build a good image by making the most of this opportunity to play a role in Director Wang’s TV series. At least, it should be able to eliminate the negative comments online about her.

He had discussed these matters with Qin Muxuan, and Qin Muxuan knew that he was quite nervous about it. So she quickly consoled him, “Don’t worry. I was just discussing the script with Mr. Xu.”

After a short while, the opening ceremony began. Qin Muxuan, together with the director and everyone else, completed the process of praying before the filming. And what followed was the press conference.

Director Wang was a big director who enjoyed national reputation, and Xu Wei was also a well-known figure in the film industry, not to mention that the movie was well-funded and that the leading actor and leading actress had won awards for Best Actor and Best Actress respectively.

There were a lot of reporters present. Qin Muxuan, who was sitting on the stage, felt that she was facing quite a large crowd. She couldn’t help but feel nervous. She knew that it was going to be a hard fight today.

Among the reporters, there must be a lot of people coming for her. Even though she was just a minor celebrity, these reporter must be coming to her for her entanglement with Gu Zijin and Yan Yuxiao. They would definitely take this chance and ask about it.

Sure enough, halfway through the press conference, it was time for reporters to raise questions.

At the beginning, the questions raised by those reporters were all about the crew. After all, no one dared to offend such a well-funded crew, so they had to follow the certain protocol for this occasion.

However, as the Q&A session went on, the questions started to become more and more weird.

“Mr. Xu, I heard that originally Qin Xuan wasn’t the one who would play the role of Qin Qingqing. It was you who insisted on letting her do it. May I ask what is your relationship with her?” This question was actually asked in a quite conservative way, as the reporter didn’t ask him directly if Qin Muxuan had slept with him for the role.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Even so, Xu Wei still lost his temper. He had constantly revised the script, only for his pursuit of perfection. It could be obviously seen that he was very serious about his work. This question really got under his skin.

Qin Muxuan saw that the complexion on Xu Wei’s face got darker and darker until it was as black as the bottom of a pot. She was worried that he would say something bad with a lousy choice of words, and that it would make the situation even worse. He Ying, who was sitting next to him, also looked at him worriedly.

Thankfully, Xu Wei was very rational. He turned to the microphone and answered seriously, “Yes, I chose Miss Qin, but it’s not because I have any relationship with her. It’s because I think she is very, very, very suitable for the role.”

He used three “very”s to emphasize his point of view.

The reporter refused to let go, “Let’s say that she’s suitable for the role. What if her acting skills are very bad?”

This question was quite rude. Even if Qin Muxuan believed that she always had a good temper, she was a little angry.

Just as she was about to answer this question, Xu Wei responded for her before she did.

He looked sullen and the aura he gave off was dominating. He said coldly, “Do you mean that Director Wang and I were just making random choice when casting the series, without ever considering how good the acting skills are?”

Perhaps it was because he was too imposing, or perhaps because he had a lofty moral character, the reporter scratched his head and dared not speak again.

Director Wang quickly tried to smooth things over, “You can all rest assured. Miss Qin’s acting skills are guaranteed. She was chosen because of her competence.”

“As for how good her acting skills are, please see for yourself when the TV series is released.”

“Alright, next question.”

As the clock ticked, no one ever asked inappropriate questions again. Seeing that the press conference was about to end, Qin Muxuan secretly let out a sigh of relief and she couldn’t believe that she was so lucky.

However, it turned out that she felt relieved too early.

“Excuse me, Miss Qin, there are rumors that you’re in a secret relationship with Mr. Gu Zijin, President of the Gu Group. Is it true?”
