A-List Actress: Paper Marriage but Pampering Billionaire-Chapter 889: Progress!

Before the end of the year, when Xiang Lanqiu was preparing to make her comeback, Hengxing extended an olive branch to her, which she declined at the time.

Hengxing was very courteous and asked if it was a matter of money.

She said it wasn’t, but Hengxing didn’t believe her, so she proposed an exorbitantly high signing bonus, which Hengxing politely refused.

Unexpectedly, not long ago, Hengxing suddenly agreed.

After more than half a year, Hengxing should be able to see that her performance post-comeback had been quite average, so why did they want to sign her again?

Although she didn’t understand, she was in a bad mood at the time, so she agreed, never expecting it to be for this reason.

Xiang Lanqiu chuckled mockingly, "If you’re trying to use me against him, you might be overestimating my status in his mind."

"That’s something for me to consider," Xu Fan replied with an indifferent smile.

He turned his head to look at Mu Yan and Song Cheng’an, "I just want to know, do you want to prove that his choice was wrong?"

Xiang Lanqiu’s heart stirred as she followed his gaze.

Of course she did. Her signing with Hengxing was for this very purpose, wasn’t it?

She wanted to prove she was better than Mu Yan, that he would regret not choosing her.

After the morning shoot ended, Mu Yan sent Song Cheng’an away.

He was just idling around, which easily distracted her and affected her focus on the performance.

In the afternoon, Xiang Lanqiu’s scenes wrapped up.

Mu Yan thought she would leave that evening, only to see Xiang Lanqiu again when she arrived at the set the next day.

She asked, "Senior Sister, didn’t you finish your scenes? Why are you still here? Is there another crew here?"

Xiang Lanqiu responded calmly, "No, just came to see your performance today, time to reflect."

She glanced at Song Cheng’an beside her, smiling, "Mu Yan isn’t a rookie, does she really need you to accompany her every day?"

Song Cheng’an replied helplessly, "It’s her first scene today, afraid she’d be nervous."

Xiang Lanqiu looked at Mu Yan, "I didn’t know you could get nervous."

Mu Yan laughed, "I don’t have your acting skills, of course I get nervous."

Xiang Lanqiu wasn’t humble, "You’re still young, take it slow."

"Alright, I’ll go prepare now." Mu Yan nodded slightly to the two and went to the dressing room.

Xiang Lanqiu looked at Song Cheng’an, "You weren’t so idle previously."

Song Cheng’an chuckled, "Now I just manage one artist, relying solely on her, so I’m free."

Xiang Lanqiu’s eyes flashed subtly, "Oh well, none of the other newcomers caught your eye."

Song Cheng’an nodded, speaking with mock seriousness, "That seems to be the case."

Xiang Lanqiu couldn’t smile, said nothing, and looked elsewhere.

Soon, Mu Yan was almost ready.

Xiang Lanqiu and Song Cheng’an sat by the director, watching the camera.

The first scene was about Shen Yu, now grown-up, going to the city to find a job and her childhood sweetheart boyfriend Han Zhixuan, and accidentally meeting the male lead Huo Dongchen.

Mu Yan, in front of the camera, wore a ponytail, a shirt paired with jeans, and carried a luggage bag, walking down the street making phone calls to her boyfriend, who didn’t pick up, forcing her to give up, turning her head to look at the city with confusion in her eyes, confusion followed by anticipation.

"Cut, good job, next scene," Wu Huai suddenly said.

At his words, Xiang Lanqiu snapped out of her reverie, lifting her gaze to see Mu Yan walking over with very clean acting.

Song Cheng’an’s voice came to her ears, "Mu Yan, you did very well."

Xiang Lanqiu couldn’t keep her expression, was that all just "very well"?
