The Queen is a D-listed actress
" Dear, I created a mess again, Will you blame me.", She asked coquettishly. He destroyed the evidence without saying a word. "Dear, I slapped that woman. She said she will ban me from the industry. Will my career be really over this time?", She asked worriedly. He established an entertainment company exclusively for her. "You know what, Someone called you an old man... Hahaha, Are you? You can't perform well?", She ranted and mocked him. But ended up not being able to move from bed. "I don't feel like going out, Don't go to work. Accompany me. ", As soon as she said this, a poor soul who has the designation of his special assistant and his team got the entire work burden. She is aloof, furious, and ruthless outside the home. At home, she is a lost kitten who doesn't know anything. After all, she is a D-listed Actress. At a national banquet, she was humiliated and was about to retaliate. A voice ran from behind," Looks like the little fox of the Zhan family had a lot of fun these days." "So it's time to take it home.", Another voice came, as two similar faces come into the vicinity of all the people gathered. Upon seeing them, She ran and hide behind him like a child and began to cry, "Darling, Don't let them come near me. They are here to kidnap me. If you don't protect me, You will lose your wife." He only smirked and let the two men take her with them ------------------------------------------------------------------- she, Zhan Lu, a well know as Zhan Wei Feng, a D-listed actress who was full of rumors and scandals. She never give in to the rules of the Entertainment Industry. After all, She just came to experience different things behind the Zhan Family, The Royal families of the Dongwei Country. All she wanted was to explore the world just as how her mother Xiu Xi Feng, The queen of Nan Xiang, wanted. In her journey, She established herself with different Identities, which are big names, which cannot be truffled with. This is my own book. I may not update with a steady phase. So be patient with my updates... I am rewriting and proof reading the book right now.
What's the price?
"So, Mr. Wei", What do you want to talk with me?", Wei Feng asked without waiting any second late.
Wan Qing who was questioned was waiting for the kettle to warm the water.
Wei Feng was a little annoyed about not receiving the answer. Her anger was not for not receiving the answer but for not getting a little reply. The man could have asked her to wait.
But on the face of the other person, The smirk of playfulness is seeking its way into his face. He had seen the carefree nature of Wei Feng and he didn't quite like this reserved forefront she is putting on. That's why he is planning to annoy her to bring her carefree side out.
When Wei Feng was about to lose her cool. She closed her eyes and repeated, "Good girls won't be hot-headed and I shouldn't beat stupid people." But an inner voice popped into her mind saying "He is not stupid, he is simply a mannerless kid. Nothing is wrong in teaching a mannerless kid."
The voice leads her to open her eyes. When she realized her thoughts and took a peek at the man who is now pouring water into the glasses. She closed her eyes again. As the previous chant didn't help, she started to play a cute song in her mind. After all, Given the fact that Wan Qing is a big shot in the industry, she can't go against him. After all, she thought she is too righteous and thoughtful for being kind.
Yeah, She thought that about herself when she had made a man lose his manhood for harassing one of her artists. How righteous she is.
When she reopened her eyes, The man was sitting on the couch with his eyes closed. He can still feel the intense gaze he is getting from the dormant volcano which is pushing its lava up and down.
Wei Feng is controlling herself from exploding. "Mr. Wei, If there is nothing else, I will take my leave.", It looks like her words have magic on Wan Qing. The man opened his eyes and quickly closed them.
"Wei Wan Qing, Do you think what you are doing makes any sense? You are wasting people's time. FYI, I didn't even have breakfast. Leave me alone. The child didn't have breakfast since we went hiking. Before deciding something, don't you know you should ask the concerned person whether they are willing? You just informed me and dragged me in here to talk. And what you are doing, sitting here like a log. I kept quiet till now since you are a man of respect and a senior in the industry. That doesn't give you any right to act as you wish. I am not here to play whatever you are trying to do. I have worked as well. If you have anything, please spill it.", Wei Feng decided to give him one last chance.
"Ms. Zhan, I wanted you to be casual and talk to me casually. I don't like you talking to me as if you are talking with some elder. I am just 24, not 44. Now that you talk to me casually. Let's get down to the business."
When she heard his words she snorted before sitting on the couch.
He took a bulky spiral binding out from the bag he placed on the couch when they entered and passed it to Wei Feng.
With thousand question marks drawn on her face, She extended her hand and got it. With one look she can tell that it is a script. She didn't open it but shot questions with her big Rui Feng eyes*
"That's the drama I am planning to do this year. I wish you be the Female lead. And in return, I want you to...", Wan Qing answered directly.
"Mr. Wei, Is this cast-couching? But I am sorry. I am not interested. If you want me to take the role, you should have asked my company to give this to me. But you chose the wrong approach. I still see you as a respectable man. I am not short of resources. So, even if you bring it to the company again, I am not going to take this role.", When she finished the statement interrupting him, she throw the script on the tea table and shot him a last glare.
While she was still blabbering, Wan Qing was thinking about how did all this suddenly turn into a casting couch session. Yeah, deep down he has some undesirable thoughts and desires over Wei Feng, But it's just an urge to hold her in his hands and kiss her. When he saw Wei Feng marching towards the door, "Miss Zhan, Don't you want to be Rui Ya Hui from Xiao Xiu Tang's novel «The Alliance »
Wan Qing asked Yu Xuan and knows that Wei Feng have a deep crush and obsession over the book especially for the character Rui Ya Hui. That's why he decided to produce the drama adoption of the book and make a comeback with it as Liao Ze Min, the male lead of the book. He also decided to use this as his way to get closed to her and win her heart.
When the name Xiao Xiu Tang fell on her ears, Her body stiffed and refused to move further. That was her favourite character from the book written by her mom. As a kid, she had enacted each scene a million times. She had long wanted to make a drama adoption. But she didn't dare because of the fear of getting exposed to the Zhan family. But, Wan Qing is really making it happen and even wants her to play Rui Ya Hui.
Her heart and brain began to have a conflict in those three minutes she hesitated and at the end her heart won the battle.
uff, she really have less resistance when it come to things related to her and her family.
After controlling the flowing emotion, she voiced out, " You can state your price for offering me this role I will fulfill as long as they are legal and are not immoral." She completed with a stiff voice which is trembling with emotions while tears rolled down her right eye.
* Rui Feng Eyes are a slight variation of the Phoenix eyes(Dan Feng eyes) we often read in Chinese novels. To imagine it, you can think of Xiao Zhan's(Wei Wu Xian) eyes.
