Chapter 357 - 357 225 Whats it Like to Be Caught
?Chapter 357: Chapter 225: What’s it Like to Be Caught Pretending?_4 Chapter 357: Chapter 225: What’s it Like to Be Caught Pretending?_4 Ansel shrugged nonchalantly, pouring himself a glass of red wine, and said in a relaxed and cheerful voice, “I had an audition today for ‘Invitation to a Sunset’ and got a part. Though it’s just a supporting role, it’s still a big production.”
“‘Invitation to a Sunset’?” Li Xinyi suddenly exclaimed, “Is that the movie Li Chengyang and Song Shiyu are going to star in?”
“Exactly, that movie,” Ansel said, raising his eyebrows with a smile all over his face.
‘Invitation to a Sunset’ was already a bestseller, and both Li Chengyang and Song Shiyu were popular idols.
The production of this movie has been hyped up online recently.
Wang Mei, who was beside them, said with some surprise, “No wonder you look familiar. Are you an actor?”
“Yeah, I’m playing the second male lead in ‘Pear Blossoms First Snow,’ which is currently airing.”
“Oh my gosh!” Wang Mei stood up, excitedly saying, “I’ve seen the reviews for that drama. You’re… Zhang…”
Lin Muxue said with a light chuckle, “Zhang Chengjun.”
“Right, right, right! Zhang Chengjun!” Wang Mei clapped her hands, her eyes brimming with excitement.
As they learned Ansel was indeed a celebrity artist, Li Xinyi and Cao Jingsi looked at Lin Muxue completely differently.
This old college classmate had really made it; even her social circle had gotten so upscale.
“Ding ding ding—” The sound of clinking glasses continued to ring, adding to the harmony of the atmosphere.
Observing her old classmates, who were now tense and uneasy, Lin Muxue looked outside at the brilliant night and felt incredibly exhilarated. A knot in her heart had been successfully untied, and her mind felt much broader.
In the little bar, the soft music began to play again.
‘?BGM: Loneliness slowly takes over my heart, in the long nights it gets more and more desolate…’
Holding a crystalline glass of wine and her Hermes bag, the slightly tipsy Lin Muxue stood on the small balcony to enjoy the view.
The old-fashioned red-brick buildings with clear water were contrasted by the neon lights of the skyscrapers, creating a picture that was both modern and retro.
Footsteps came from behind.
Xing, carrying a tray, joined her on the balcony, “The view from this street is indeed beautiful, and drinking here isn’t bad either. Muxue, I strongly recommend you try our house grapefruit wine.”
As he spoke, he opened a bottle of yellow fruit wine.
Ansel raised his eyebrows and extended his glass, “Let me try some too.”
He had come with the intention of garnering favor.
If he could charm Lin Muxue, who knew executives at Tangzong Entertainment, his path to stardom would be secured.
Taking a sip of the cool grapefruit wine, Ansel said softly, “By the way, Xue, I’m actually a singer too. I’ll be releasing an album next year. If there’s a song you’d like to hear, I could sing it for you here in the bar.”
“Thanks, but no thanks. The song that’s playing now is pretty good,” Lin Muxue responded, her face expressionless, leaning casually against the black railing at the edge of the balcony.
‘?BGM: Who silently stole my heart, I can’t tell night from day…’
Her figure-hugging black off-the-shoulder dress clung to her curves just right, showing off her graceful stature.
The hem of her dress swayed gently in the evening breeze, like a black blossom amidst the night’s air.
…
Li Zhixi, hands pocketed, wandered leisurely down the retro street with Tang Song.
The dim streetlights stretched their shadows long.
“Some say this is one of Shanghai’s most beautiful roads, where history meets modernity, leading straight to the Bund and the Huangpu River… This building is the Somekh Building, it’s been standing for over a hundred years…”
While saying this, Li Zhixi looked up at the beautiful Baroque-style building.
After that, his facial expression froze for a moment as his face turned beet red, and he enthusiastically patted Tang Song on the shoulder.
He said excitedly, “Look! There’s a gorgeous woman on the second-floor balcony, damn, she’s top-notch! Like a celebrity.”
At the mention of a stunning woman, Tang Song curiously halted in his steps and followed his gaze.
Among the intricately carved building, a sensual silhouette stood behind the railing, slender fingers holding a wine glass, with an indifferent expression on her face.
There were two guys standing beside her, one of whom looked particularly familiar.
Seemingly catching something in the corner of her eye, Lin Muxue also looked down.
Their eyes met, and her face instantly froze, staring blankly at Tang Song, who had suddenly appeared.
