My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

Ou Luo Xi didn’t have many expressions. He looked at Ning Qing and spoke, “Alright, a kissing scene then.”

He spoke and there was a flash in Ning Qing’s eyes. There was a designated dub for the movies and drama that he starred in and she didn’t know Ou Luo Xi’s voice was like this.

His voice was gentle.

And, kissing… kissing scene?

Ning Qing nearly choked on her own saliva. D*mn, do we have to go all the way right at the beginning?

She suspected the boy wanted to take revenge on her gaze earlier. Petty-minded.

“Okay,” Director Wang agreed, “Ning Qing, do you have any problem?”

Ning Qing thought of Lu Shaoming. They were married and she wondered if he would mind if she had a kissing scene?

It seemed that she had to talk to him after he returned.

Ning Qing shook her head and stood straight. “No problem at all.”

…

Then, Ning Yao was like a cat on a hot tin roof. How does Ning Qing qualify?

Why did she receive recognition by Director Wang? Why did Ou Luo Xi, who normally pushes people aside, not forsake her but wanted to try a kissing scene with her?

Why does fate care for her all the time?

“Junxi, let’s go,” Ning Yao shook Xu Junxi’s shoulders.

Xu Junxi fixed his gaze on Ning Qing and Ou Luo Xi who walked next to one another. He replied, “As we’re already here, let’s see how capable she is,” He sat on the rattan chair that the crew members brought for him.

Ning Yao saw that he wasn’t willing to leave; she had no choice but to sit next to him.

…

Ning Qing was extremely focused as she read the script. Regarding the pair of man and woman who stayed to watch, she only had one comment, busybodies.

The scene was mainly portraying how Meng Yao, who was seventeen, got to know a righteous officer by chance and they had their first kiss.

Director Wang shouted “Action!” and the screen test began.

Ou Luo Xi, who was cold to her earlier, turned into a gentleman with tender feelings. The pair of black leather boots that he was wearing gave out awe-inspiring righteousness. He moved forward and lifted the corners of his mouth, “Miss Mong Yao, from the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you. Please be with me.”

Ning Qing complimented Ou Luo Xi’s acting ability in silence. She also thought that the smiling Ou Luo Xi was even prettier.

She turned around and looked down. There was a young girl’s frail and bashfulness across her face, “Who wants to be with you? I’m only seventeen this year.”

Then, Ou Luo Xi walked forward and extended both his hands to cup Ning Qing’s face. He suddenly lowered his face.

Both their lips touched and the cameraman zoomed in. Ning Qing punched Ou Luo Xi’s shoulders and she mumbled. She performed the bashfulness and panic of a young girl’s kiss thoroughly.

Director Wang nodded in satisfaction and he raised his hand to shout “cut”.

But Ning Qing felt a sharp pain on her lips. Ou Luo Xi bit her.

Ning Qing’s eyes shot open, this boy didn’t act according to the script!

She pushed Ou Luo Xi and he fell back. She walked forward as her face blushed in embarrassment. She slapped him, “You, shameless!”

“Cut!” Director Wang shouted and laughed, “Ning Qing, you adjusted according to changing circumstances. Very well. You have yet to start working together but you are so well-coordinated.”

Director Wang was referring to the slap earlier. She didn’t really slap him but the two of them took advantage of positioning. When she slapped, Ou Luo Xi leaned his head sideways.

Ning Qing sighed a breath a relief after she received Director Wang’s recognition. She looked at Ou Luo Xi in suspicion. His lips were cold when they kissed. Even when he bit her, there was no manner of violation or humiliation.

She suspected that he bit her to help her. Ou Luo Xi seemed to be helping her to receive recognition from Director Wang.

Ning Qing wanted to talk to Ou Luo Xi but he didn’t bother to look at her before he walked to his assistant. He took over the grey and white striped fringed scarf to wear it around his neck. He then said faintly, “That’s it, I’m leaving.”

He then walked out surrounded by a bunch of people.

Ning Qing watched as the man left. She was thankful yet she found it funny. As she reined back her sight, she met a pair of cold-looking eyes that belonged to Xu Junxi.

She didn’t know what she did wrong. Xu Junxi’s eyes were like a fire that was dying to swallow her up.

She found it ridiculously funny.

Xu Junxi grumbled and stood up from the rattan chair. He then left angrily.

He then seemed to have forgotten about Ning Yao, “Junxi, wait for me,” Ning Yao was wearing a pair of high heels and she was chasing after him.

…

Everyone left and the studio became quiet. Director Wang passed Ning Qing a contract, “Ning Qing, I will use you for the role as Meng Yao in Street Walker. Here’s the contract. Read it through and sign if there’s no problem.”

Ning Yao flipped through the contract then picked up the pen to sign her name. Her hands were trembling when she signed the document. She finally had this day.

It was like a dream.

“Director Wang, thank you for this opportunity. I will give my all,” Her pair of beautiful eyes were twinkling with excitement and gratefulness tears.

“I have confidence in you, and also in Street Walker. Yeah, Ning Qing, you need your own assistant when you film a movie. Do you have any suitable person in your mind?”

Ning Qing thought of Xiao Zhou, “Yes.”

“Alright then. Bring your assistant, the entire crew will gather in the bar tonight. We shall start filming in two days.”

…

In the bar

Ning Qing and Xiao Zhou speak together as they each held a cocktail glass. Xiao Zhou said in excitement emotionally, “Ning Qing, that’s great. You finally have the chance. When you called me, I immediately quit my job. Don’t worry. I will be your best, most caring assistant.”

Ning Qing knew that she couldn’t really drink. She was worried that she would be drunk so she only took a sip on her cocktail. “Xiao Zhou, we’ll work hard together in the future. Our life just reached smooth sailing.”

“Alright,” Xiao Zhou chugged her glass of drink.

Xiao Zhou pushed Ning Qing curiously as she asked softly, “Ning Qing, be honest with me, are you in any way connected to Director Wang?”

“Why do you ask?”

Xiao Zhou put down the wine bottle and blinked, “Ning Qing, do you really not know? Before Director Wang’s Street Walker starts filming, there were news leaks in the entertainment circle. Do you know how many big shots wanted to participate? For instance, the next-gen goddess, Xia Xiaofu, her assistant got in touch with Director Wang long ago. But you eliminated her and took the role. I don’t think you didn’t take any measure.”

Hearing Xia Xiaofu’s name, Ning Qing’s eyes shot open. Xia Xiaofu is the daughter of the Xia family. She starred in an immortal heroes drama when she was sixteen and she got really famous.

For the past few years, she was dressed in maxi dresses with wavy long hair. Her image was mysterious yet elegant. Hence, her name of “National Goddess”.

Ning Qing met her once at a ball. Xia Xiaofu was refined and remarkable in an artistic manner. She definitely lives up to her name of “Goddess”.

Ning Qing liked her a lot.

“I eliminated Xia Xiaofu?” Ning Qing was confused. Although she believed in her capability, why did Director Wang invite her for a screen test? ” Xiao Zhou, I really didn’t take any unique measure. If I did, I would definitely tell you.”

Xiao Zhou looked at Ning Qing and she didn’t look like she was lying. So, she said, “Then, besides Director Wang, did you get to know any powerful officials in finance? Huge merchants?”

Ning Qing then thought of Lu Shaoming.

But she quickly denied anything. She just got married to Lu Shaoming the day before. If it was really him, it happened before they got married.

They only met four times before their marriage, how many men were willing to spend so much time and effort for a woman that he only met four times? To help her in her career?

Plus, he never brought it up.

“Xiao Zhou, stop making wild guesses. We only need to do well in the movie. Director Wang said that capable people speak with their final products.”

“Mm,” Xiao Zhou nodded. The chance had arrived and they only need to grab it.

“Oh yeah, Xiao Zhou, do you know about Ou Luo Xi?” Ning Qing asked.

“Not much. Ou Luo Xi started his career three years ago and he was quite low profile. Besides acting, he never joins any talk show or banquet. His assistant takes full control to talk to the media too. Oh, yeah, Ning Qing, Ou Luo Xi is the second son of T City’s Ou family. The Ou family and T City’s mayor Zhou family are old family friends.”

Ning Qing nodded but she wasn’t interested in the Ou family or Zhou family that she was talking about.

She got up, “Xiao Zhou, I’m going to the washroom.”

…

Ning Qing walked out from the washroom and walked along the corridor. She didn’t drink much but her face was red so she touched her cheeks with her hands that were wet with the cold tap water.

There was a person who walked before her.

Ning Qing’s heart ached. They came into an unavoidable confrontation. It was Xu Junxi.

Xu Junxi saw her too. His originally calm eyes were suddenly covered in a haze. He glared at Ning Qing then he turned around. He walked past Ning Qing expressionlessly.

Ning Qing was more than happy with his action. They shall be silent strangers.

She walked past Xu Junxi, turned at the corner. But then, there was a sudden breeze and someone held Ning Qing’s wrist.

Xu Junxi tugged and Ning Qing’s back hit the cold wall. She felt hurt and suddenly his body appeared before her.

Ning Qing rolled her eyes impatiently and at the same time, there was anger that soared in her. The more angry she was, the calmer her expression was, “What do you want?”

Xu Junxi watched her expression and he smirked as he said, “Why? You want to pretend that we don’t know each other?”

“Do we know each other?”Ning Qing asked in reply.

Xu Junxi’s face grew grave. He looked at her face which was rosy because she drank and her cherry lips were red like as though masked in lipstick.

He recalled the scene where Ou Luo Xi bit her in the studio. He gulped and his Adam’s apple rolled. At the same time, he exerted strength in his palm and gripped her wrist.

She didn’t know him but she could kiss a total stranger.

“Let go, you’re hurting me!” Ning Qing creased her eyebrows because of his rude actions but she spoke calmly.

Xu Junxi pretended not to hear and he wasn’t willing to let go.

“Ning Tao, you came,” Ning Qing looked behind him and said.
