After Filming a WLW Movie With My Straight Girl Crush 39p2

Chapter 39 p2

Just as she was about to send Li Yan to the airport, Xu Ling conveniently bought a flight at around the same time to go back.

Li Yan asked Xu Ling for a favor. “Actually, this ring I’m wearing isn’t completely meaningless. My boss is interested in me. I said I have a girlfriend and used this to reject him, but he never believed me.”

She handed the matching ring to Xu Ling. “You don’t have to do anything. Just wear it. After I leave, you can just throw it away.”

Xu Ling agreed and put on the same ring as Li Yan.

She wasn’t asked to do anything, but when she stood next to Li Yan, she still put on a bit of an act, with her eyes, her expression. Apart from no physical contact, everything was on point.

Li Yan’s boss looked at their faces and the matching rings and had a look of understanding.

Li Yan and her boss boarded the plane first. Xu Ling sat in the waiting room, her previous aura gone, and she fell into a state of low spirits again.

Xu Ling looked at the ring on her hand. She really couldn’t just throw it away so casually. She would just keep it for now and give it back to Li Yan next time they met.

A ring… if she could be in a relationship with Qin Cong’an…

She was thinking about these unrealistic things again. Was she crazy? Xu Ling slapped her head and stopped thinking about it.

After landing in North City, Xu Ling went home first. She didn’t have her own place in North City, neither bought nor rented. She lived with her parents in a small villa.

After tidying up and resting for a bit, Xu Ling went to the company and was taken by Sister Huai to see the nutritionist recommended by Sister Quan.

Based on her various body data, the other party formulated a diet plan for her and told her to follow it.

A month later, it was Starry Night.

Yi Huai had borrowed a new ready-to-wear piece from a brand Xu Ling had worked with before. Both sides were very satisfied.

Xu Ling could perfectly pull off the brand’s noble and luxurious feel, and there was no need to alter the size anywhere. After the fitting, the brand’s representative saw it and took the initiative to lend her jewelry to wear.

Xu Ling gradually regained her state through her work. She was even more confident about attending this event.

Walking the red carpet in beautiful clothes was something she was good at. And she really liked the brand’s designs. The other party also seemed to think highly of her.

Yi Huai also said that it was impossible to negotiate a personal endorsement for now, but with repeated collaborations and accumulated goodwill, maybe one day she could get one.

Xu Ling finally had a new goal: to get an endorsement.

Xu Ling was very glad that Qin Cong’an only ever attended events for the works she was in, endorsement brand events, or major TV station galas. She had never participated in an awards ceremony initiated by a social media platform like this one.

If she saw Qin Cong’an at the event, would she be able to manage her expression? She might end up falling flat on her face with the brand’s items and making a huge fool of herself.

To avoid being preconceived this time, Xu Ling had checked the official news several times. She had seen her own photo but not Qin Cong’an’s.

If they had invited Qin Cong’an, they would have promoted it long ago. It seemed she could rest assured.

However, Xu Ling saw Xie Jing on the list… she would just ignore him. The other party didn’t know her anyway.

A week before, on the day of the full-scale rehearsal, Xu Ling saw many artists, including Xie Jing.

As he passed by, Xie Jing greeted her, “Hello.”

Xu Ling instantly stiffened and also replied stiffly, “Hello, senior.” The other party smiled and left.

She had been too naive. How could Xie Jing not know her? He was so concerned about Qin Cong’an. He must have looked into the other female lead of her movie. And Qin Cong’an had even mentioned her name to him—it was all over.

Fortunately, she had seen him at the rehearsal. Otherwise, if she had frozen like that on the day of the event, she might have been photographed, and who knew what netizens would speculate.

On the day of the event, Xu Ling was in excellent condition, radiant. After changing, putting on jewelry, and getting her makeup done, she was exquisite from head to toe. She got in the car and headed to the venue.

This was the largest event Xu Ling had attended as an actress.

Yi Huai was chattering by her side. “You must not mess up. You must perform well…”

Then, worried that her own nervousness would affect her, she stopped and started to praise her for how beautiful she was today.

“With your state today, there will definitely be eight hundred cameras on you. There will definitely be discussions online.”

“Sister Huai, relax a little,” Xu Ling said, comforting Yi Huai instead. She was fine, not very nervous. After all, she had been on bigger stages. Although this event was important, as long as she didn’t run into that person, it would be fine.

Yi Huai took a deep breath. Looking at Xu Ling like this, she felt she had the potential to be a big star. The effects of the past month of nutritional conditioning were also obvious. She had gained some weight but wasn’t puffy. She looked rosy and radiant. This fiery orange-red gown suited her very well. Some people would probably believe she was an international supermodel.

The car arrived at the venue. The door was opened from the outside.

Yi Huai made a cheering gesture, watched her get out of the car, and then immersed herself in her own work, coordinating with various parties while also opening the live stream on her phone to watch the entrance, paying real-time attention to the comments.

Some people in the comments recognized Xu Ling. More people thought she was an unfamiliar face. Most people’s reactions were:

—Wow, what a stunning face, what a stunning figure. Does she really exist in real life?

Yi Huai breathed a sigh of relief. And throughout the red carpet, she saw that Xu Ling was calm and composed, exuding charm with every move. A professional model indeed.

Xu Ling posed for photos in front of the red carpet, completely in her professional element. Everything went smoothly. It really felt like there were eight hundred cameras on her, but she handled them all perfectly.

Guided by the staff into the venue, she looked for her seat according to the name on the back of the chair. There hadn’t been any during the rehearsal, because the seating was still being adjusted until the very end. This artist and that artist didn’t get along, this artist and that artist had to avoid suspicion. A lot of information had to be confirmed.

Xu Ling saw her name on the back of a seat in the second row. For someone of her status, sitting in the second row was indeed a bit of a compliment.

And, it was even in a position near the middle.

Xu Ling walked over, her steps faltering. Wait, what did she see? In front of her, the three characters written there, couldn’t be Qin Cong’an, right? Was there something wrong with her eyes?

The closer she got, the clearer the outline of the three characters became, yet it also felt more and more blurry. Xu Ling’s expression gradually tightened. She sat down, looking back from time to time.

Qin Cong’an really had come. Xu Ling saw her. She was wearing a very low-key black gown. The cut looked very beautiful and high-end, but in terms of design, it was a bit plain—at first, Xu Ling really thought so, until Qin Cong’an walked to the seat in front of her and sat down.

My god, it was backless.

Xu Ling unconsciously swallowed.
