Destined with You

“…”

Gu Qingxin lifted her head only to see Huang Jiaxin not far away, looking at her with a triumphant smile on her face.

“What are you guys whispering about here? Aren’t you going to take the shoot? Go put on your makeup now! How can anyone look at you with such an ugly face!” Ming Shang came over, grabbed Gu Qingxin’s arm and started to walk towards the makeup room.

Xiao Zirui, “…”

If Ming Shang was protecting Gu Qingxin, even the sponsor wouldn’t dare mess with her.

In this situation, Xiao Zirui finally felt a bit relieved…

Once inside the makeup room, Gu Qingxin forcefully yanked her arm back and sat back down in her chair disgruntled.

Ming Shang, “…”

This ungrateful girl, he was helping her out and she didn’t even say thank you, let alone the impatient look on her face!

Xiao Zirui walked in and said, “The photos we took last time have come out, do you want to take a look? They turned out fantastic!”

Xiao Zirui handed each of them a photo.

Looking at the picture in her hand, Gu Qingxin had to admit it was quite impressive. She couldn’t help but touch her face, a bit sceptical. Was she really that beautiful?

“Don’t be silly. This is the effect of post-production!” Ming Shang muttered, flipping through a few photos before tossing them onto the makeup table beside him.

Gu Qingxin, “…”

“Indeed, you look better in the photos than in person,” Gu Qingxin also commented quietly.

“I was talking about you! I am naturally beautiful!” Ming Shang glared at her through the mirror.

Can’t this girl say something nice for a change!?

“The photo isn’t photoshopped, I am the result of post-production, you’re natural?”

“No one will like a girl with a toxic tongue!” Ming Shang snarled angrily as he turned to glare at her.

“It’s not like I need you to like me! Can we get on with the makeup now?” Gu Qingxin was not in the mood to spar with him any longer, she needed to figure out how to deal with that troublesome sponsor.

The advertisement officially started filming today.

Although Gu Qingxin was new, she had the experience from last time, her performance was quite good. Occasionally, when her expressions were off, a bit of guidance from others allowed her to quickly find the right feeling. Her pairing with Ming Shang meshed perfectly.

“What’s so outstanding about her?” grumbled the assistant of Huang Jiaxin, watching the perfect on-screen couple with a look of dissatisfaction. “She is only a naive little brat with zero acting skills, who grins foolishly. How can she compare to you in any way?”

Huang Jiaxin, filled with jealousy, glared at Gu Qingxin. Originally, she was the one paired with Ming Shang. She had it all figured out—if she got more screen time with Ming Shang, her popularity would undoubtedly skyrocket, instantly making her the talk of the town.

If she could latch onto Ming Shang in the process, that would be even better…

Now all her plans were ruined by this little bitch.

She reached for her coffee and screamed angrily, “Are you trying to burn me to death?”

“Sister Xin, I’m sorry, the coffee was just brewed,” the assistant hurriedly apologized.

Huang Jiaxin had an idea and waved her assistant over. The assistant leaned in immediately to listen closely…

“Cut! Good, actors rest for ten minutes,” the director said with satisfaction.

Gu Qingxin lifted her dress and walked to a side, finding a spot to sit and rest for a bit.

Just as she sat down, she heard a woman scream and happened to see Huang Jiaxin’s assistant tumble towards her, a full cup of coffee splashing in her direction.
