Flash Marriage with a Mysterious Man

Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Wasn't My Acting Pretty Good?



"Qingtian, who is this...?"

The charming beauty, after noticing the intimate interaction between Huang Qingtian and Mu Keren, seemed unwilling to continue being ignored. Just as the two of them reached an agreement, the beauty spoke up.

At that moment, the woman's affectionate eyes were fixed on Mu Keren, sizing her up.

Upon noticing this, Mu Keren boldly stuffed her small hand into Huang Qingtian's large palm right in front of him.

Her action caused the woman's eyes to shift slightly and her expression to turn strange.

And this reaction was within Mu Keren's expectations. In her view, who wouldn't be surprised or angry to see their romantic rival and beloved together?

"Qingtian, this couldn't be our 'little mistress,' could it?" Mu Keren, who had just stuffed her small hand into Huang Qingtian's, was now looking at him with her acting skills on full display, as if waiting for his explanation.

The woman described as the "little mistress" now had her meticulously applied makeup unable to conceal the myriad of colors flitting across her face.

"Qingtian, this..."

She turned to Huang Qingtian with a look of seeking help, hoping he would extricate her from this situation.

Alas, Huang Qingtian was unmoved. Or perhaps it should be said, he never truly saw her.

As the woman's plea for help with her eyes to Huang Qingtian was to no avail, Mu Keren quietly pinched his waist.

"Huang Qingtian, say something!" The little one with gritted teeth now seemed suspiciously like throwing a tantrum.

The more she created a scene, the more embarrassed the beauty standing before her appeared. As for Huang Qingtian, a smile lingered on his lips the whole time. It was as if he was thoroughly enjoying himself and could not extricate himself from it!

Just as Mu Keren was getting somewhat tired of the commotion and saw no progress between the two parties, and was about to give up on this deal, Huang Qingtian suddenly embraced her small hand that was pinching his waist, enveloping her in his arms.

"Alright, you must be tired!" His timely voice was filled with doting and pity.

This voice not only left Mu Keren somewhat puzzled, but even the beauty standing by their side also showed an incredibly shocked expression. Apparently, she had never imagined that the high and mighty Huang Qingtian could show such a tender expression for a woman.

And just then, Huang Qingtian, who had never initiated conversation, said to the beauty, "You see, today's situation is really not appropriate."

"Hmm! Well, alright then, we'll talk another time..." The beauty with the affectionate eyes glanced over Mu Keren's hand, tightly encased by Huang Qingtian, and parted her red lips slightly.

Soon after, the beauty took her leave first.

In Mu Keren's eyes, the beauty's departure even carried a hint of fleeing in panic.

"Hmph, walk away quickly! Don't let me see you again..." To keep up the act, Mu Keren even waved her little fists at the fading figure of the beauty.

As for her series of wild actions, Huang Qingtian did not stop her. It would be more accurate to say he was enjoying them. Throughout the whole process, he maintained a smile on his face...

When the woman had completely disappeared from view, Mu Keren did not forget to raise her small chin proudly towards Huang Qingtian, seeking praise: "How about it, my acting wasn't bad, was it? If I ever can't make a living anymore, going into the entertainment industry would be quite promising, right?"

"Hmm! Quite good..." Huang Qingtian didn't dampen her spirits, and led her towards the electronics mall downstairs.

At this moment, Mu Keren did not know that her casually spoken words would actually come true in just a few days...

It had been two days since Mu Keren became the intern assistant of Xuan Ling.

Over the past two days, Xuan Ling had been finding various ways to torment her.

But Xuan Ling's methods were very clever. She hadn't argued with her as she did in the cafe, at every turn.

Instead, during the process of filming a commercial, she constantly had Mu Keren running up and down.

Especially since she had even delegated the most challenging issues that needed negotiation with the director to Mu Keren. After two days, Mu Keren was nearly exhausted.

Mu Keren had thought that this was the extent of Xuan Ling's tactics against her. But unexpectedly, Xuan Ling had even more formidable tricks waiting for her.

Just today, as work began, Xuan Ling's exclamation brought the entire filming crew to a halt.

"Oh no!" After Xuan Ling's exclamation, many people rushed over to her corner.

This included Sister Chen, the top agent from Yushan Media.

"What's wrong, Xuan Ling?" Sister Chen asked with concern as she approached.

Ever since the boss had decided to promote Xuan Ling to a first-tier star, Sister Chen had devoted all her energy to Xuan Ling.

Otherwise, why would Sister Chen personally come to the set for the filming of a small commercial?

"The bracelet we need for the shoot is missing!" Xuan Ling said, comforted by Sister Chen.

And such a statement changed the face of everyone present.

That was because the advertisement Xuan Ling was shooting today was for the Bixi Bracelet from Xiangrui Jewelry, a local jeweler.

It was said that the bracelet was designed by a famous designer and that each bixi gem used was of the highest quality. Such a small string of bracelets was priced at a shocking 990,000 yuan on Xiangrui Jewelry's official page. How could a bracelet worth nearly a million just disappear?

Such news immediately caused an uproar among the filming crew.

"Could it be in some other place?" Sister Chen said as she began searching through several bags beside Xuan Ling.

Those bags contained the clothes and scarves they were using for the shoot. Basically, it was impossible for the bracelet to be inside. But no one could guarantee that someone hadn't been careless and dropped it in there.

However, after flipping through them for a while, Sister Chen still couldn't find the bracelet, which made her expression darken slightly.

The wristband, worth a million, was not something their company couldn't afford to compensate for. The problem was, such an issue arising so close to shooting time could damage their media company's credibility if word got out. It was no longer just about the money.

"Quick, search every corner," Sister Chen began directing others.

It was unclear who suddenly suggested, "Should we check the bags?"

"Bags? Maybe not!" Sister Chen seemed a bit hesitant.

She had worked with this crew countless times on jewelry shoots and subconsciously, Sister Chen still felt they were trustworthy.

As Sister Chen was rejecting the suggestion, Xuan Ling stepped forward to persuade, "Sister Chen, we should still check! If someone really put it into a bag, we can't take the blame for them!"

Actually, when the bracelet went missing, Mu Keren never imagined this would have anything to do with her.

But after Xuan Ling finished speaking and cast that peculiar look at her, Mu Keren suddenly had a feeling that things might not be so straightforward...
