Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon's Sweetheart-Chapter 474: You Won’t Go and Tell Her, Will You?

"Shut up!"

Jiang Wanze suddenly scolded, startling Xiao Yang, who then did not dare to speak anymore.

"Don’t let me hear you talk like that about him again."

"Yes, yes."

Xiao Yang nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Wanze glanced at Ye Xian’s retreating figure and turned to leave.

If only he were really playing hard to get...

Ye Xian sat in the makeup room, waiting for the stylist to do his makeup while reading the script. Today’s shoot was the ’first encounter between Xia Qingshao and Shen Jinyou’—the same scene she auditioned with at the casting site.

On Shen Jinyou’s fourteenth birthday, his foster parents bought him an elegant outfit. He was ecstatic and wore it out, only to coincidentally run into Old Madam Wang who had lost her silver, and she assumed he had stolen it to buy the clothes. She beat him severely, not stopping until Shen Jinyou couldn’t even stand up, but was eventually stopped by Xia Qingshao.

"Hey, Ye Xian!"

Xi Ruochu had just finished a scene and, fanning herself with her hand, sat down next to Ye Xian. "Which scene are you shooting today? I’ll come and watch. Last time I saw your entrance scene, it was so cool, and your acting was great. If it wasn’t forbidden to record on set with phones, I would have loved to capture it and show off to my friends!"

"Show off what?"

"Show off that I get to act with a handsome guy every day."

Ye Xian laughed, "Today I’m shooting the first encounter between Shen Jinyou and Xia Qingshao."

"Ah?"

Xi Ruochu expressed her disdain with an ’ah’ and said, "Then I won’t watch."

"What’s wrong?"

"Have you ever seen Luo Yuwei act? Her acting is so bad. She was scolded by several veterans, one after another, in front of the entire crew without any consideration for her feelings. It was so embarrassing to watch."

Luo Yuwei was just about to push the door open and enter the rest area when she overheard this comment and stopped her actions immediately.

Xi Ruochu said, "I mean, how can someone who hasn’t even attended a professional institute act well? Having a powerful backer sure is amazing; they just parachute her into roles. I wonder who her mysterious sponsor is, to be so influential."

Ye Xian closed the script, "So what if she hasn’t attended a professional institute? I haven’t either."

"Ah..." Xi Ruochu felt awkward, "Don’t get me wrong, I’m not insinuating anything about you. You have talent, unlike her. Sometimes talent is much more important than effort and education."

"You make a good point." Ye Xian got up with the headpiece after finishing her makeup, "But whether someone is good at acting or not is for the audience to decide. It’s too early to say anything now."

Xi Ruochu: "... Oh."

Outside, Luo Yuwei curled her lips and turned to leave.

Ye Xian glanced at Xi Ruochu, who had fallen silent, "You know she has a background, yet you dare to gossip about her in private? Aren’t you afraid it will get back to her and you’ll be done for?"

Reminded by Ye Xian, Xi Ruochu immediately covered her mouth with regret.

Right.

She had that forthright personality, always upfront about what she didn’t like. Since debuting, her big mouth had offended quite a few people, but she never seemed to learn her lesson and would forget about the incidents soon after.

She looked around the rest area, relieved to see that aside from the assistant and makeup artist, there were no strangers present.

"Ye Xian, you won’t go and tell her, will you?"

Ye Xian: "Depends on how I feel."

"Ye Xian, you can’t do that to me, I’m your fan!"

Ye Xian: "Since when? I had no idea."

"The day I watched you act, I became a fan!"

Ye Xian raised an eyebrow, "Alright, since you’re a fan, I’ll keep your secret this one time, but don’t expect it to happen again."
