The Movie Queen, a Flirty Omega, Has Been Plotting Against Me for a Long Time (GL) - Chapter 4
At the banquet hall, Chu Zhou stood next to the beautifully smiling Shen Qingli, wearing a barely noticeable fake smile.
An artist’s motorhome (RV) usually carries backup clothes, both everyday wear and outfits for events.
Although Shen Qingli had just returned to China, Chu Yue had long prepared the best available nanny van and stocked it with various styles of clothing.
Chu Yue has its own high-end luxury brand, and the value of the gowns, which are also stored in the motorhome, is considerable.
The motorhome Chu Yue prepared for Shen Qingli was essentially a small, fully equipped apartment, demonstrating Chu Yue’s high regard for her.
Shen Qingli’s new gown was a high-slit black dress, exuding a dominant Mature Queen style. Her mature and powerful aura prevented people at the venue from reluctantly putting down their phones to stop filming.
Shen Qingli, at 170cm, wearing ten-centimeter stilettos, looked roughly the same height as Chu Zhou. The two looked very well-matched standing together.
The news of Shen Qingli signing with Chu Yue had been trending repeatedly, and tonight’s banquet was no exception.
Photos from the evening event leaked online and immediately caught the attention of netizens.
[Who is the person in the white suit next to Shen Qingli? She’s so good-looking. Is she in the entertainment industry?]
[She is Chu Zhou, the CEO of Chu Yue. A top Alpha, only 24 years old, with a master’s degree—a highly educated, rich, and beautiful woman.]
[Some people are born at the finish line in Rome, and they are excellent themselves. Reincarnation is a technical skill.]
[Chu Zhou is gorgeous. With those glasses on, I’m dead.]
[Oh my god, who taught her to dress like that? A sheer shirt, and a ribbon tied around her neck? It’s too alluring! Smoking hot!!!]
[Chu Zhou and Shen Qingli are so compatible! CEO matches Movie Queen, and their looks are perfect together. A cool and sharp younger Alpha, a sexy and mature older sister. I’m dying over this ship! Let’s give them a CP name.]
[Zhou? Li? Zhou Li? The Rites of Duke Zhou (Zhou Gong zhi Li)? (A pun that means having sex)]
[Hahahahahaha, you know how to name things upstairs, and I love it.]
Chu Zhou never expected that netizens would actually start shipping them as a couple.
The favorite activity of modern netizens is shipping CPs, completely regardless of what the principals want.
After the principals finished their interviews, they returned to the room.
This time, the room included not only Chu Zhou and Shen Qingli but also their respective assistants and Song Xiaoyang.
Today’s incident had been thoroughly investigated, and Chu Zhou instructed Song Xiaoyang to explain everything in front of Shen Qingli.
Where there are people, there is a struggle for interests. Chu Yue only has so many S+ projects each year, and given Shen Qingli’s status, she has absolute priority in selection.
Chu Yue has two top-tier female artists whose resources are the best, and the company’s S-level projects are basically prioritized for them. Shen Qingli’s arrival would naturally impact their resources.
He Yi’s contract with Chu Yue has one year left, and renewal is currently under discussion. Shen Qingli’s presence gave her a sense of urgency.
She had privately contacted other companies, and every company was envious that Shen Qingli signed with Chu Yue.
The other company offered terms for her to disrupt the banquet as much as possible, ideally creating negative public opinion to damage Chu Yue’s reputation, which led to what just happened.
However, they didn’t anticipate that netizens’ focus would be so strange. They ignored the incident and instead started shipping the two women.
After Song Xiaoyang reported the full details of the incident, Shen Qingli’s assistant immediately asked, “We’d like to know how CEO Chu plans to handle this.”
Having been bullied immediately after returning to China, if they didn’t fight back, people would look down on Shen Qingli.
Since the incident happened within Chu Yue, they were willing to give Chu Yue face and let the company resolve it. However, if the result provided by Chu Yue was unsatisfactory, they would not hesitate to take action themselves.
Chu Zhou understood their implication. She first looked up at Shen Qingli, who was leaning casually on the sofa. The woman noticed her gaze and gave her a cryptic, half-smiling look.
Chu Zhou’s face flushed, but she quickly composed herself and said, “Song Xiaoyang will give you an explanation regarding this matter.”
Her eyes were on Shen Qingli, clearly speaking to her.
“Good. I’ll wait for you.”
Since some things have been done, one must bear the corresponding consequences. He Yi hasn’t terminated her contract with Chu Yue yet.
If that’s the case, Chu Yue has many ways to deal with He Yi.
With a resolution for tonight’s incident found, Chu Zhou didn’t linger and quickly left the banquet.
Chu Yue’s agency has its own person in charge. Logically, she only needed to make an appearance. If no accident had occurred, she wouldn’t have needed to stay so long.
Chu Zhou declined Xixi’s offer to drive her and went to the garage alone. She pressed her car key fob and walked toward the sound of her car.
She had only walked a few steps when a motorhome stopped directly in front of her, only two meters away. Her face darkened as she looked over and saw Shen Qingli step out of the vehicle.
Her expression stiffened. Just as she was about to speak, Shen Qingli quickly closed the distance, the sudden rush of her scent causing Chu Zhou to instinctively retreat.
However, Shen Qingli didn’t give her a chance to back away. She advanced step by step, pushing Chu Zhou toward the car door. Then, Shen Qingli reached out and braced her hand on the car door, forming a wall-slam posture.
Here we go again? Just now in the hotel, Shen Qingli untied the ribbon on her neck, and her fingertip grazed her skin. The shudder of excitement she felt then made her heart feel warm and mushy just thinking about it now.
Chu Zhou was annoyed, a flash of inexplicable anger rising within her. “Shen Qingli, what exactly do you want?”
Shen Qingli completely disregarded her tone and chuckled. “Get in the car.”
Chu Zhou: “…I have my own car.”
She looked fierce, but her tone was incredibly weak; no one would be afraid of her like this.
Shen Qingli looked her up and down, her gaze seeming provocative. Chu Zhou awkwardly lowered her eyes, avoiding looking at her.
Shen Qingli didn’t intend to let her go. Instead, she tilted her head and leaned closer, her lips brushing Chu Zhou’s ear. She whispered in a seductive voice, “What, you slept with me and now you want to run?”
Chu Zhou, “???”
Who slept with whom, exactly? As the Omega, she was the one who felt more like she had been slept with.
But saying that out loud would be too humiliating.
They were in an underground garage, not a hotel room. Shen Qingli clearly wouldn’t let her leave. Chu Zhou had no choice but to get into the car.
Shen Qingli’s motorhome was tall enough for a person to stand up and walk. Chu Zhou chose a single sofa to sit on.
The two single sofas inside the motorhome had a massage function. As she sat down, her anxiety caused her to accidentally press the activation button. The massage chair began to vibrate, and the heat in her body instantly peaked. She didn’t need to look to know what color her face was.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and immediately turned off the massage chair, looking up to see Shen Qingli watching her with a smile in her eyes.
Chu Zhou gave an embarrassed smile. She swore she wasn’t usually like this.
Shen Qingli picked up the remote control from the table, sealed off the driver’s seat from the back, and leaned back on her seat. “Where to? I’ll drop you off.”
“I’m going home.” After wearing makeup for so long, she was exhausted. She hadn’t rested well last night and just wanted to go home to sleep.
Chu Zhou said weakly, “I can drive myself home.”
Shen Qingli ignored her comment and asked instead, “What would you like to drink?”
The atmosphere in the car was awkward, and Chu Zhou tried her best not to appear so uncomfortable, though perhaps she was the only one who felt the awkwardness.
“Water.” She adjusted her jacket, forcing herself to calm down and not panic.
Shen Qingli stood up, opened the refrigerator, and took out two bottles of water. She watched Chu Zhou open the cap, take a small sip, and smiled.
“I want to drink too.”
Shen Qingli smiled and handed her the water, motioning for her to help unscrew the cap.
Chu Zhou obediently took the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and handed the water back.
Throughout the entire process, Shen Qingli’s eyes never left her, subtly teasing her.
Thinking back to last night, Chu Zhou felt some regret. She had drunk too much, and the alcohol led her to leave with this woman.
She didn’t remember exactly how they started once they got to the hotel. She only remembered sitting blankly on the bed, being guided by the person in front of her to do what followed.
Just thinking about it made a fire surge inside her, nearly consuming her.
Shen Qingli behaved like an enchantress, weaving a huge net, closing in on her bit by bit until she was completely trapped.
Chu Zhou’s hands nervously gripped the armrest of the sofa, trying to find an excuse to get out of the car.
Shen Qingli observed her expression and suddenly smiled. “Do you mind?”
Shen Qingli’s words were sudden, but Chu Zhou immediately understood her meaning.
She didn’t reply, so Shen Qingli softly reassured her, “It’s fine. You can pretend it never happened.”
“It’s just an adult game. Relax.”
Chu Zhou didn’t know what to say for a moment. Just as the other woman said, no one takes a one-night stand seriously.
She just said, “Mhm,” in agreement.
Seeing her nod, Shen Qingli’s eyebrows twitched slightly. “However, games aren’t usually over after just one round, are they?”
Hmm??? What does that mean?
Chu Zhou’s eyes widened. Could Shen Qingli possibly want to continue??? What would that make them?
She had been bold and reckless because she was drunk last night. When sober, she would absolutely never do what she did last night.
She was so shocked by the other woman’s brazen suggestion that she couldn’t react for a long time. She dumbly grabbed the water from the table and took a huge gulp, trying to suppress her surprise.
Just then, the car stopped. Just when she thought Shen Qingli might be taking her to a new venue for their “game,” Shen Qingli pressed a button on the remote, and the car door automatically opened.
Shen Qingli glanced at her, a gentle smile on her face. “You’re home.”
“Ah?” She looked out the car window. It was indeed her residential complex.
She said nothing more, gave an awkward laugh, and got out of the car, pretending to be calm.
“Chu Zhou.”
Shen Qingli called out, stopping her. She paused without turning back, waiting for the other woman to continue.
Shen Qingli’s voice was soft and alluring. “Want some candy?”
Chu Zhou’s heart fluttered. The warm, tingling feeling in her chest was familiar. She recalled something she had said many years ago: “Senior Sister, want some candy?”
She forced herself to control her emotions and turned around. Shen Qingli looked at her, smiling sweetly, shaking a milk candy in her hand. It was inexplicably tempting.
She reached out her hand. Shen Qingli placed the candy in her palm. Feeling the touch of the woman’s fingertip, the heat that had just subsided in her body rose again.
She quickly closed her hand around the milk candy, shifted her gaze to the side unnaturally, and said, “Thank you. I’m going in.”
After saying thanks, she quickened her pace toward the apartment complex, unaware that the gaze behind her followed her closely until she disappeared from sight.
