Chapter 75: Someone Is Now A Top Traffic Star 

Kong Huizhi felt her forehead throbbing. She felt she had asked a stupid question, so she chose to shut up and stop talking.

“I made your breakfast.” Qin Shilan handed the prepared breakfast to Kong Huizhi.

Kong Huizhi looked at the breakfast on the table. It looked quite good. She had to admit Qin Shilan’s cooking was decent. In fact, Qin Shilan seemed good at everything. At this moment, Kong Huizhi couldn't help thinking of her ex-wife. She felt that 80% of the Qin family’s good genes went to this eldest sister. If half of that were shared with her ex-wife, her ex-wife would be amazing. Clearly, her ex-wife’s personality was much cuter and more likable. Kong Huizhi misses her ex-wife even more now.

After being forced by this eldest sister to marry twice using schemes, she understood clearly that Qin Shilan only looked gentle on the surface. In fact, she was soft outside but tough inside, a woman with very strong control. Her control was expressed in a very soft way, like tough vines. They looked soft and harmless, but in truth they wrap you tightly until you couldn't move at all, letting her do whatever she wanted.

“You don’t need to do this yourself. Just hire an auntie.” Kong Huizhi didn't refuse the breakfast. Her tone and attitude were cold. The CEO personally making breakfast for her didn't move her. She only felt pressure, and she treated Qin Shilan’s effort the same as a housemaid’s work.

“Does it not taste good?” Qin Shilan’s heart was stronger than most people’s, but she wasn't invincible. Being ignored like this by the woman she loves still felt bad. She also knew Kong Huizhi had reasons not to accept it, so she avoided the real issue and treated it as only a food problem.

“Qin Shilan, if you married me not to get revenge, then why? Don’t tell me you’ve always loved me.” Kong Huizhi laughed at her own ridiculous words.

Qin Shilan knew that even if she admitted it now, Kong Huizhi wouldn't believe it. She didn't want to become a joke in Kong Huizhi’s heart, so she couldn't admit it.

“My sister tasted this woman, so I also want to taste her.” Qin Shilan casually made up an absurd excuse.

“You’re a pervert!” Kong Huizhi’s face turned red. She said it before. Qin Shilan was a pervert with a sister complex. Sure enough, a complete pervert.

Seeing Kong Huizhi blush with anger, Qin Shilan thought she really believed it. The truth was taken as a joke, but the most absurd lie was believed. Maybe she really had some perverted traits. Being called a pervert by Kong Huizhi made Qin Shilan feel a little excited, and she didn't know why.

“Pervert?” Qin Shilan repeated the word with a smile and moved closer.

Kong Huizhi felt Qin Shilan was like something dirty and scary. She stepped back in fear. Behind her was the unmoving white marble dining table. She had nowhere to retreat, but Qin Shilan kept getting closer.

“Don’t come over.” Kong Huizhi sounded panicked. She believed that with her dancer’s body, she wouldn't lose in strength to this pervert. She was thinking whether to fight back if Qin Shilan did anything excessive.

“If I’m a pervert, then you’re a pervert’s wife now. Wife.” Qin Shilan’s face was only inches from Kong Huizhi’s face. At the end, she called her wife in an intimate tone.

That one word, wife, made chills run through Kong Huizhi. Goosebumps rose all over her body

This pervert. Kong Huizhi resisted with her whole being.

Just as Kong Huizhi was about to push Qin Shilan away, Qin Shilan, who had been pressed close to her, suddenly stepped back.

“Why I married you, you’ll know in the future.” Qin Shilan turned, took the coat from the rack, left those words behind, and walked out.

Kong Huizhi collapsed into the dining chair, still shaken. She had fully believed Qin Shilan’s perverted excuse just now. Now the woman said there was another reason. Was it just a joke earlier? But it felt very real. No matter the reason, Kong Huizhi didn't want to know for now. What worried her more was half a year later, no, only five months left. When she thought about really doing it with this perverted woman, her heart felt fuzzy and uneasy.

She should not have divorced her ex-wife. Kong Huizhi regretted it again, her guts turning green.

Regret was regret, but breakfast still had to be eaten.

Kong Huizhi vented her anger, treating the breakfast as Qin Shilan’s substitute, chewing hard and swallowing it. Even though Qin Shilan was a pervert, her food was still good.

But did this woman come back just to make her breakfast? Thinking about it made Kong Huizhi feel chills again. Perverts’ actions were not understandable by normal people.

After breakfast, Kong Huizhi couldn't stop overthinking. Would this pervert Qin Shilan put something strange in the food to control her? But even if Qin Shilan really did that, in her current state as a fish on the chopping board, what could she do?

….

“When will you come back?” Qin Shiyue asked. They had only been apart for one day, and she already missed her.

“Tomorrow. There are many uncles and brothers at home. I need to socialize.” Lin Qingyi also wanted to see Qin Shiyue, but her family had many relatives and good relationships. She didn't come home often because of filming. Once she comes back, they drag her to family dinners. She would probably only get free tomorrow.

“So Movie Queen Lin also has to socialize.” Qin Shiyue sighed.

“With family, there’s no choice. Just like when your sister asks you to eat together, can you not go?” With her Grandma around, family bonds were stronger. Her Grandma liked lively gatherings. To make the old lady happy, family members usually tried not to be absent.

“Then tell me when you’re back tomorrow.” Qin Shiyue was obedient and waited patiently for Movie Queen Lin to have time for her.

The next day.

“I’m home. Baby, come over.” After Lin Qingyi returned to the apartment where she and Qin Shiyue used to live, she immediately sent her a message.

Qin Shiyue received it and came out right away, rushing to their former sweet little home.

“Where are you now?” Lin Qingyi asked.

“Downstairs.” Thinking about seeing the person she liked soon, Qin Shiyue felt joy that words couldn't describe.

Already downstairs. Then Lin Qingyi waited at the door.

It was Qin Shiyue’s first time opening Lin Qingyi’s door with her fingerprint. That sense of being the lady of the house instantly filled her heart.

The door opened. Just as Qin Shiyue stepped inside, a pair of hands hugged her from behind.

She was first startled, then delighted.

“You scared me to death.” Qin Shiyue complained softly. Anyone would be scared being hugged like that.

“Then I’ll compensate you.” As she spoke, Lin Qingyi’s hands started to wander.

Qin Shiyue’s body softened at once. She thought, are we doing it the moment we meet? Has Queen Lin become this beastly? But her body was very honest. She was already soft. Mm, she really wanted to be treated like this.

“Say it. Whose last name will you take?” When Qin Shiyue was already teased badly, Lin Qingyi lightly bit her ear and asked, stopping all movement.

Such a grudge holding woman. Qin Shiyue’s body trembled. This was deadly.

“Take… Lin’s…” Qin Shiyue could only beg. Doing this on purpose now was too much.

Lin Qingyi, satisfied, raised the corner of her mouth.

Afterward, Qin Shiyue watched Lin Qingyi take off the wet finger cots and throw them into the trash. Her face was burning red. Lin Qingyi had actually done it in the living room.

Of course, Lin Qingyi wasn't in much better shape later either.

In their honeymoon phase, they stuck together every day. They also went abroad for a vacation and lived a shamelessly sweet life.

Fang Xinhua finally couldn't stand it and called Qin Shiyue. She had been on strike for so long. It was time to work. Recently Qin Shiyue’s popularity has exploded. Her already high fees doubled again. Business invitations kept coming. Her traffic reached its peak, far ahead of other actresses. But traffic stars had to appear often. Otherwise, the heat wouldn't last.

Qin Shiyue went off to fall in love at this time, which really delayed making money. Many jobs had been accepted earlier and pushed back again and again, but Baby Qin'er kept pushing them back.

Fang Xinhua felt large piles of money slipping away in front of her every day. Qin Shiyue was a Young Miss who didn't care about money, but she was just an ordinary person. Watching money slip away every day felt terrible.

After urging Qin Shiyue to work with no result, Fang Xinhua stopped. Who told her to have such a love-brained Baby Qin'er? Forget it. She could only lie flat and accept it. In this life, she was probably fated to miss great wealth.

Because Baby Qin'er was immersed in love and refused to work, Fang Xinhua also became idle.

Lin Qingyi had many scripts too, and her pay kept rising. Bai Wenxi knew Lin Qingyi and Baby Qin'er were in their honeymoon phase. She first accepted the scripts, planning to give them all to Lin Qingyi later to choose. So Bai Wenxi was also very free and often asked Fang Xinhua out for meals.

“Your Movie Queen Lin won’t work. My Baby doesn’t want to work at all.” Fang Xinhua sighed. Baby Qin'er was now a cash cow. As long as she worked, money would roll in. Too bad the cash cow didn't want to farm gold fields. She only wanted to farm Movie Queen Lin’s field. Was she not afraid of farming too often? Slow and steady was better.

“Mainly your Baby isn’t short of money. My Queen Lin isn’t either. The ones short of money are us.” Bai Wenxi agreed. The earning power of their two bosses together was probably stronger than two listed companies printing money. If they worked together, it would be even crazier. They were not short of money, so they went to enjoy sweet love. The ones craving were Bai Wenxi and Sister Fang, who were not fully financially free yet.

“Is your Queen Lin love-brained?” Fang Xinhua placed her hope on Lin Qingyi.

“No idea. It’s her first relationship. There’s no past data to compare.” Bai Wenxi answered uncertainly.

“Your Queen Lin doesn’t look love-brained.” Fang Xinhua felt Lin Qingyi wasn't the type to lose direction because of love.

“I think so too.” Bai Wenxi agreed.

Just when Bai Wenxi felt it was about time to give all the scripts to Lin Qingyi, she suddenly received an invitation from Director Zhang Zexun.

Director Zhang was one of the top directors in the country. Lin Qingyi’s first drama was his. Bai Wenxi had read the script. It was a good one. Famous director, big production, aimed at the overseas market. All elements were there. The boss would most likely accept. Lin Qingyi’s ambition wasn't limited to domestic success. Winning an international best actress award was the real challenge. Unless she became love-brained, she wouldn't miss this chance.

So Bai Wenxi immediately told Lin Qingyi about Director Zhang’s invitation and sent her the script file.

Qin Shiyue came out after showering and saw Lin Qingyi wearing glasses, reading a printed document. It had been a while since she last saw Lin Qingyi wearing glasses. She looked extremely commanding. Qin Shiyue felt more and more lovestruck.

She noticed Lin Qingyi was reading very seriously and didn't even notice her coming out.

“What are you reading?” Qin Shiyue felt ignored and hugged Lin Qingyi’s arm.

“A new script. It’s good.” Lin Qingyi took off her glasses, put the script on the table, then placed the glasses on top.

“You’re taking it?” Qin Shiyue didn't want to work at all. She only wanted to be with Lin Qingyi. So when Sister Fang mentioned work, she pushed everything back. She hoped the honeymoon phase would last longer, at least two or three months. It had only been a bit over a month. She didn't want it to end so soon.

“Mm. It’s Zhang Zexun’s. The script is very good. There is no reason not to take it.” Lin Qingyi had already agreed. Only the contract was left.

“That’s good. When does filming start?” Qin Shiyue was happy for Lin Qingyi, though she still felt a little disappointed.

“At the end of this month. What, Baby can’t bear to part with me?” Lin Qingyi hugged Qin Shiyue and smiled.

“What’s there to miss? I’ve also postponed a lot of work. You go work, I’ll go work too.” Qin Shiyue said stubbornly.

“Right. Someone is a top traffic star now.” Lin Qingyi teased. As a traffic star, Qin Shiyue was at her peak. Traffic had an expiry date. It was different from professional actors like herself. Qin Shiyue was at the stage where top resources kept coming. Running off to date her probably made Manager Fang very anxious.

Qin Shiyue was indeed top traffic. It wasn't an exaggeration. Her popularity with Lin Qingyi and the broadcast of Princess Girlfriend stayed high.

“You’re laughing at me again.” Qin Shiyue pushed Lin Qingyi down, dissatisfied. She felt unhappy that Lin Qingyi was about to go film.

“Being a traffic star like this, many people envy you. In a way, it’s also a kind of success.” Lin Qingyi felt Qin Shiyue had chosen the traffic path. Reaching this level was a success in traffic terms.

“I don’t want to be just a traffic vase. Even if I’m very popular, when people mention me, there’s not much respect. Most of it is teasing, like you. I want to become like you. I want people to recognize me through real professional ability.” Qin Shiyue said seriously.

“These are two completely different paths. Just choose what suits you.” Lin Qingyi felt Qin Shiyue didn't need to walk the same path as her. As long as she improved a bit, she could go far on the traffic road and probably stay popular for a few more years.

“So you also don’t believe in me? You think I can only be a traffic star and can’t transform?” Qin Shiyue asked, feeling low.

“The traffic path is glamorous, with endless praise and flowers. You’re already used to it. Leaving traffic means facing the risk of failure in transformation. Are you really willing to give up everything you have now? Are you prepared, or is it just a hot headed thought?” Lin Qingyi analyzed it seriously. No matter which path Qin Shiyue chose, she would support her.

Qin Shiyue fell silent. She really had not thought it through.

Author’s Note:

For now, Baby Qin'er is still a love-brained. She would slowly shift from love-brained to career-brained.
