No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Everyone’s gaze were fixated on the man who spoke and Qin Muxuan was no exception.

She tilted her head slightly, feeling a bit confused.

The man’s appearance matched his majestic voice. He sat lazily on the chair, and squinted slightly. His peach blossom eyes were narrow and attractive, blessed with incomprehensible flickers of light.

The room was silent. Qin Muxuan was shocked and uncertain, failing to answer right away.

Then the man added, “Sorry, maybe my request is too sudden, but I sincerely invite you to audition for the role of the third female lead Qin Qingqing. Is that okay?”

He prolonged the words “Is that okay?”, and it sounded like he was a somewhat coquettish girl. Qin Muxuan quivered a bit and she rolled her eyes inwardly, but she didn’t show it on her face. Instead, she smiled perfectly.

“I can do the audition, but as far as I know…”

Her right hand was holding her left hand and one finger of her left hand gently tapped her vermillion lips. The red lips and her polished fingernail added radiance to each other, making her look both dangerous and charming.

The man’s eyes lit up and his body straightened up involuntarily.

“As far as I know, Qin Qingqing’s role has been taken.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

The director nodded right away and he was so anxious that he sweated all over his head. “That’s right, Mr. Xu, Qin Qingqing’s role has been taken. Ehh…”

“Humph,” the man called Mr. Xu chuckled coldly. His eyebrows were drawn together and he glanced at the director coldly.

All the words the director planned to say were stuck in his throat. He was like a duck whose neck was suddenly clutched, and his face turned red.

Qin Muxuan, who was standing on stage, clearly saw this scene. She didn’t know who Mr. Xu was, but it was clear that no one present could afford to offend him. She just wondered what his role was in this TV series, and why he asked her to audition for the third female lead.

Obviously, in the current situation, she’d better do as he said. Qin Muxuan had always been quite pragmatic. As long as the thing she was asked to do did not go against her principles, it was nothing.

“Miss Qin?” While Qin Muxuan was thinking about it, Mr. Xu started to urge her.

Qin Muxuan came to her senses and put on a sincere smile again. She said gently, “Of course, I can. However, I haven’t had a chance to read the part of the script which involves Qin Qingqing. Director, can I…?”

Even though the director did not know what Mr. Xu was up to, he could only cooperate with him. He handed Qin Muxuan a booklet. Strangely, he didn’t look unhappy; he just felt a little gloomy.

“Mr. Xu, which part do you want me to perform?”

“The one of your choice.”

Qin Muxuan calmed down and quickly turned to the part she meant to perform.

Although she hadn’t seen Qin Qingqing’s script, she had a general idea of what the whole story was like and she had a good knowledge of who Qin Qingqing was.

Qin Qingqing was a dancer in a restaurant on the bank of Qin Huai River. She was exceedingly beautiful, and the every act and move of hers was full of charm.

But no one knew that she was actually a member of an organization that aimed at saving the country from danger. The dancer identity was just a disguise.

Unfortunately, this woman with the peerless beauty ended up in the hands of the enemies, and she died a horrible death. She was one of the most tragic characters in the entire play.

Qin Muxuan knew that it was unrealistic for her to memorize a lot of lines in such a short time. Although she had good memories, she was not able to do it.

She remembered that there was a scene where Qin Qingqing didn’t talk. The play was all about her actions. She quickly flipped over to that part, carefully checked it twice, let out a long sigh and closed the script.

“I’m ready.”

If she could nail the action scene, it would have the same effect with a scene with dialogues.

The moment she put down the script, Qin Muxuan got into the character.

All at a sudden, she turned herself into a girl who had just come to Qin Huai. She was a bit shy, but tried to look charming and seductive.

She was like a fruit that was about to get ripe, a fruit that looks so appetizing. But when people took a bite of it, they would feel the sourness and acerbity of the fruit. However, instead of being irritated, people would be more fascinated by it.

Qin Muxuan shook her waist lightly and danced according to the plot.

She didn’t know what kind of dance Qin Qingqing performed in the story, so she could only dance spontaneously according to the plot.

She had learned how to dance in the past, but she hadn’t done it for too long, so her movements were a little awkward and she also felt a bit embarrassed.

But, for her being like that, she was even closer to the exact character Qin Qingqing.

Her makeup was gorgeous, and her movements were uncontrollably unskilled, but her gaze was as firm as a tree growing straight.

There was only one line at the end of the plot.

Qin Muxuan finished dancing, and she placed both of her hands lightly to one side of her waist. With her eyebrows lowered and her eyes slightly closed, she showed only a beautiful profile to her audience.

“I’m Qingqing, nice to meet you all.”

Then, she straightened up and stared at the crowd with shyness and a bit of fear.

After a few seconds, she regained her gentle smile and stroked the hair on her temples. “I’m done.”

The entire place was silent. And at the next moment, loud applause was heard.

Everyone’s eyes were filled with admiration and amazement.

“Oh my God, is she Qin Qingqing herself?”

“It was amazing!”

……

Murmurs like those were heard everywhere.

Naturally, Qin Muxuan couldn’t hear them as they were whispers. She just quietly watched Mr. Xu, who was clapping, and the director who looked incomparably excited.

She frowned slightly. Why was the director staring at her with such eager and even slightly disgusting eyes?

Qin Muxuan didn’t know that the director was actually not satisfied with the appointed actress for Qin Qingqing. However, she came from a powerful background and was an actress appointed by the play investors, so he had to accept it.

Now the director has decided: To hell with it! Qin Qingqing’s role would be played by Qin Xuan. No one could change that!

“Miss Qin, well done,” Mr. Xu stopped clapping and praised generously. He looked at her with appreciation.

Qin Muxuan smiled and thanked him. “Thank you, Mr. Xu.”

She had a hunch that the role of the third female lead would be hers.

The truth was, compared with the second female lead, she liked the third female lead Qin Qingqing more.

Not only did Qin Muxuan feel closer to the character, but the character was more likeable than the second female lead. If she portrayed Qin Qingqing well, she would achieve a lot from it, too.

After all, if a character was more tragic, he would also be more attracting, whether he was a decent character or a villain.

“Miss Qin, it seems that you get distracted easily,” as Qin Muxuan was thinking about that, Mr. Xu walked up to the stage and mercilessly pointed it out for her.

Qin Muxuan blushed and touched the tip of her nose embarrassingly.

Mr. Xu saw what she just did and felt even more satisfied.

He stretched out his right hand and said, “Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Xu Wei, the scriptwriter of this TV series.”

Qin Muxuan was stunned. He was just a scriptwriter?! What kind of scriptwriter he was to make the director treat him so differently?

She had heard of Xu Wei’s name before. He was a famous scriptwriter in the industry, but it alone was not enough to make a director value his opinion so much. After all, Mr. Wu, the director of this movie, was quite far-famed himself.

Forget it. She wouldn’t be able to figure it out even if she racked her brain.

So she shook hands with him politely, “Hello, I’m Qin Xuan. I’ve long heard of your great name, Mr. Xu.”
