After Transmigrating as a Scumbag Alpha, I Ended Up with the Movie Queen - Chapter 16

Shen Zhibei really could talk, and she was very good at talking.

Even with the simplest little decorations in the room, she could chat with the production staff in a lively and interesting way, and she even interacted with them while explaining.

After she did all that, the production staff never even left Gu Nan’s room, naturally missing the chance to film Gu Nan’s family members.

In the end, it was only because the production team saw that it was almost time to leave, and that listening any longer would delay things, that they reluctantly interrupted Shen Zhibei and began the interview with the two of them.

The short interview was actually just a few unoriginal little questions.

For example: Why did you come on our show? What expectations do you have for our show? And so on.

The night before, Shen Zhibei had given Gu Nan emergency training on all these questions, striving to make sure she did not tell the blunt truth and instead said a few pretty words to get through it.

After the short interview, Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei got into the production team’s car and headed to the airport.

Of course, the production team’s car was equipped with many cameras.

As soon as Shen Zhibei got into the car, she grabbed Gu Nan’s hand and lightly indicated the cameras around them.

Gu Nan immediately understood.

Wasn’t it just acting like they were a loving married couple? Too easy.

Gu Nan smiled and interlocked her fingers with Shen Zhibei’s.

The journey was fairly smooth, and the 2:15 flight was not delayed. After nearly four hours of flying, Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei arrived in Dian Province.

Because every guest had departed from a different place, they had no filming tasks today. They only needed to rest properly at the airport hotel and wait for the other guests to arrive. Then, the next day, they would go to Yingpan Village together and officially begin recording the variety show.

Because the material for the pilot episode had already been filmed, and official recording had not yet begun, the cameras were no longer aimed at them from the moment they got off the plane. Filming would only begin again when they arrived at Yingpan Village tomorrow.

This made both of them much more comfortable. At least they did not have to act anymore.

When they arrived at the hotel, because Gu Nan was dragging two suitcases, the production staff handed a room card to Shen Zhibei.

“Thank you.” Shen Zhibei looked at the single room card in her hand and felt too embarrassed to ask for a second one. After all, the two of them were wife and wife, so the production team had not actually booked it wrong.

“Oh, right. Have any of the other guests arrived?” Shen Zhibei asked.

“Teacher Peng Yushu and Teacher Bai Rui have already arrived.” The staff member understood what she meant. “We booked rooms on the same floor for all the teachers. Teacher Peng is in 1104, and Teacher Bai is in 1106. As for the other two teachers, one lands at 7 p.m. and the other lands at 10 p.m. Since it’ll be a bit late, the simple all-member meeting has been arranged for tomorrow morning. A staff member will knock on your door in advance then.”

“All right, thank you.”

Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei’s room was 1105.

Along the way, neither of them brought up the issue of sharing one room. They directly headed to their room.

After swiping the room card and entering, both of them felt relieved when they saw the two beds inside.

“Good thing there are two beds. Otherwise, I’d have to sleep on the floor.” Gu Nan laid the suitcase down, preparing to take out her toiletries.

Shen Zhibei did not answer that obvious statement and only said, “Don’t unpack yet. Come with me first to greet Teacher Peng Yushu.”

Gu Nan raised her head and placed the toiletry bag she had just taken out on the coffee table. “Won’t we see him at the meeting tomorrow?”

“Teacher Peng sang the theme songs for many movies and dramas I starred in. We have a pretty good relationship.”

“Got it.” Gu Nan stood up. “Let’s go.”

Gu Nan and Shen Zhibei were both very famous in the industry.

It was just that one had a good reputation, while the other had a bad one.

Seeing this married couple, who had recently set off a wave of public attention, knock on his door, Peng Yushu gave Shen Zhibei face and invited the two of them in for tea with a smile.

Shen Zhibei and Peng Yushu had a friendship, but Gu Nan did not. After humbly introducing herself, she very consciously sat there holding her teacup and listened to the two of them chat.

Peng Yushu truly did not put on any airs as a senior. He was very easygoing in speech.

“Ever since Mingxin left, I haven’t sung for several years. Back then, when I didn’t want to sing, a whole pile of people came looking for me. Now that I want to sing again, no one is looking for me instead.”

“It just so happened that this production team came to me, and they also said they had managed to sign you. So I thought it wouldn’t be bad to come and take a look.”

“Then I heard that you got married, and that you’d be going on this show with your newlywed wife.”

Peng Yushu glanced at Gu Nan, who was quietly sitting to the side drinking tea and occasionally refilling tea for the two of them.

“I was originally quite worried about your condition and thought I’d have a proper chat with you once we met. Now that I see you, it doesn’t seem as outrageous as the media made it sound.”

“I’m doing very well. Mom and Mother treat me very well too.” Shen Zhibei also glanced at Gu Nan. “She’s also pretty good.”

There was something subtle about those words. Peng Yushu felt that there must still be something going on between the two of them. But seeing that Shen Zhibei did not intend to say more, he, as an outsider, could not ask too much. He could only say, “As long as everything is good. As long as everything is good.”

The two stayed in Peng Yushu’s room for a long time before returning to their own room.

Thinking that they would definitely have to wake up early tomorrow, they wanted to sleep early tonight.

The two of them quickly took out the things they needed from their suitcases.

Since they were only staying for one night, there was no need to take out too much. They only needed to take out the simple things they would use tonight.

Gu Nan really was not used to the hotel’s provided bedsheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases, so she had one more step than Shen Zhibei.

She shook out the duvet cover she had brought and put it on while saying to Shen Zhibei, who was watching her movements, “You go wash first. I still need a while.”

“All right.”

Shen Zhibei took her makeup bag and the pajamas she was going to change into, preparing to go to the bathroom to remove her makeup and shower. But when she reached the bathroom door, she held the doorknob and began to hesitate.

Her hesitation made Gu Nan, who originally had not felt there was anything strange, also start feeling that something was off. She could not help urging, “Hurry and go. What are you standing there for?”

Shen Zhibei glanced at Gu Nan and confirmed with her again, “You promised. Aside from my heat period, if I don’t allow you to, you can’t touch me. You know that, right?”

Recently, she was approaching her heat period, and a tiny bit of pheromones had been leaking out, so she had been wearing skin-colored pheromone-suppressing patches over her gland.

Now that she was going to shower, she would have to take the pheromone-suppressing patch off, and her pheromones would spread out then.

She was truly a little afraid. What if Gu Nan was affected by her pheromones?

Gu Nan had not thought at all about Shen Zhibei’s concern regarding pheromones. She only assumed that Shen Zhibei did not trust her self-control.

Although she also admitted that she really liked Shen Zhibei’s looks, which hit all of her preferences—

It was not to the point where she would lose control just because Shen Zhibei went to take a shower.

So when she heard Shen Zhibei emphasize it like that, Gu Nan rolled her eyes and said, “Don’t worry. At this stage, to me, a plate of red-braised pork ribs is more attractive than you.”

Shen Zhibei tightened her grip on the doorknob. The unease in her heart instantly turned into anger.

What did she mean, a plate of red-braised pork ribs was more attractive than her?

Was she not attractive to Gu Nan?

If she was not attractive, then why had Gu Nan wanted to ask her out before?

This scumbag Alpha must have lost interest once she had gotten her hands on her.

Although Shen Zhibei sensed that her emotions were not right, she was about to enter her heat period. The long-acting heat suppressant she had sprayed at home had worn off, and after entering the hotel, she had not reapplied it. So she could not properly control her physiological emotions.

In an instant, a wave of grievance and a desire for an Alpha’s comfort spread through her heart.

Gu Nan did not sense Shen Zhibei’s emotions at all.

After finishing changing her own bedding, she did indeed feel hungry. So she jumped off the bed, took her phone, and walked past Shen Zhibei, preparing to go out.

Thinking that since she was going out, she had to tell Shen Zhibei, who was staying in the same room, otherwise it would be terrible if Shen Zhibei refused to open the door when she knocked later—

Gu Nan turned around and looked at Shen Zhibei. “I’m going out to eat something. I’ll come back after you finish showering. That way, you don’t have to worry about me losing control like a beast and doing anything to you.”

After saying that, Gu Nan wanted to go out, but then she thought that it would not be good for only herself to eat, so she casually asked, “Do you need me to bring something back for you?”

“No need!”

Shen Zhibei slammed the bathroom door hard, and the door made a heavy bang.

The bathroom door was slammed shut not far from the tip of Gu Nan’s nose, and the gust from it blew across her face.

Gu Nan frowned, not really understanding what temper Shen Zhibei was throwing now.

“If you slam the door that hard, you’ll shake it apart. Be careful. If it breaks later, you’ll have to pay for it.”

“I don’t need you to care. I have money to pay!” Shen Zhibei took out her cleansing oil and began removing her makeup.

“As your wife in name, wouldn’t I have to accompany you to pay for it?”

Shen Zhibei, who was rinsing with clean water, immediately shut off the tap, pulled open the bathroom door, and glared at Gu Nan. “Hurry up and go eat!”

Gu Nan had originally wanted to talk to Shen Zhibei about her attitude problem, but then she noticed Shen Zhibei’s slightly reddened eyes.

Gu Nan immediately cooled down and asked carefully, “What’s wrong? Why do you look like you’re about to cry?”

“Who’s about to cry?” Shen Zhibei was still glaring at Gu Nan. “I accidentally got cleanser in my eyes just now.”

“Oh, so that’s it. Then hurry and rinse them more.”

“Do I need you to tell me that?”

Shen Zhibei rolled her eyes at Gu Nan, and the bathroom door was once again slammed shut not far from the tip of her nose.

Feeling the gust of wind it created, Gu Nan touched her nose.

Inwardly, she muttered to herself, wondering whether Shen Zhibei’s heat cycle was coming, which was why her emotions were changing so intensely.

Thinking this, Gu Nan opened the room door…

You actually really left!

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Shen Zhibei was so angry that she smashed a perfume bottle in the bathroom.

The sound of the glass bottle shattering on the floor finally pulled her out of this inexplicable burst of emotion.
