After the Breakup, the Seductive Beauty-Type Omega Became Obsessed - Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Does Zhou Tian Still Care About Her?

Zhou Tian returned to the residential complex with Xia Ruo.

“You can just stay at my place for now. That extra room’s just sitting empty anyway,” Xia Ruo said while helping her unpack.

“Okay, then I won’t be polite,” Zhou Tian replied with a smile.

This was the new apartment Xia Ruo had rented after earning some money—three bedrooms, a large living room, over 200 square meters. Life was getting better.

“Tiantian, I have something to tell you. Tomorrow you’ll be recording a music variety show, and they’ve specifically requested that you sing Sunshine Island.”

“Alright.” After a moment, Zhou Tian realized what she said and muttered, “I’m still not that familiar with the lyrics… oh no. I’ll have to memorize them seriously later.” She lightly patted her head, a headache creeping in.

“Come on, you can do it! I believe in you!” Xia Ruo cheered her on.

After unpacking, Zhou Tian finally had a moment to check her phone.

In their small group chat named “Three People Walking,” only Wen Qingying had spoken:

Wen Qingying: “I listened to your new song! It’s amazing!!! Let me do a cover sometime, okay? You have to give me a friends-only discount on the copyright!”

Zhou Tian: “Sure!” she replied immediately.

Wen Qingying: “Where’s Lü Ningyue? Haven’t heard from her in days. What’s she up to lately?”

Zhou Tian: “I just got back from vacation. Let’s meet up when we’re all free!”

Despite the friendly chatter, Lü Ningyue still didn’t reply.

After a while, Zhou Tian gave up and exited the chat.

She opened BigEye (a social platform) and logged into her main account. Her followers had grown to 2.2 million, and her new song Sunshine Island was doing very well. Several respected seniors in the industry had even helped promote it. As for the haters and negative comments, she skimmed through them and moved on. After all these years in the industry, she had built something.

A few well-known artists had even messaged her privately to request collaborations.

Zhou Tian politely replied to them all.

After checking her messages, she still felt unsettled. She hesitated and opened her private chat with Lü Ningyue on GreenBubble.

Only then did she realize how long it had been since they last talked.

Zhou Tian: “Lü Ningyue, why did you suddenly become the spokesperson for Qisheng?”

But after typing it out, she felt it was inappropriate and deleted it all.

In the entertainment industry, it was normal for people to collaborate with others. She shouldn’t care too much.

Still… Lü Ningyue knew about her situation with Wen Mingzhi. During those painful, sleepless nights, Zhou Tian would turn to Lü Ningyue and pour out her heart. Lü had always been there to comfort her as a friend.

Zhou Tian shook her head. It was just a brand endorsement, no big deal. Nothing worth dwelling on. She cleared her mind.

“Don’t overthink. It’s normal,” she told herself.

Then, Zhou Tian began playing her song Sunshine Island, softly humming along while memorizing the lyrics.

Until her phone vibrated with a new message. It wasn’t from Lü Ningyue, but from Liang Xirui:

Liang Xirui: “Tiantian, what are you doing? I’m bored out of my mind at home!”

Zhou Tian: “Memorizing lyrics. Why not go out?”

Liang Xirui: “I want to! But my brother won’t let me. I’m under house arrest! AHHHHH come rescue me!!”

Zhou Tian: “…Then just rest well at home.”

Liang Xirui: “Ugh! That awful snitch told on me to my brother!”

She even attached a dramatic emoji.

Liang Xirui had already thrown a fit at home about being grounded, but it was useless. This time, her brother Liang Liangjun was serious—he wanted her to reflect on her behavior, stay home, and stop messing around with other Alphas.

The moment she heard that, Liang Xirui snapped. She could easily guess who tattled. She hadn’t expected the high-and-mighty Wen Mingzhi to stoop to such tricks. That nasty old woman…

In some ways, Wen Mingzhi had ignited her competitive spirit.

Who was she? A.K.A. the “Little Demon” of A City.

Oh, so we’re playing games now? Fine, let’s see who Zhou Tian chooses in the end.

Zhou Tian: “Just rest up at home. You’ll be able to go out again soon.”

Seeing her comforting words, Liang Xirui grinned and immediately started typing:

Liang Xirui: “Alright! But you have to hang out with me when I’m free again! Don’t ditch me!”

Zhou Tian: “Mmm…” She replied helplessly.

Liang Xirui: “What lyrics are you memorizing? Sunshine Island, right?”

And with that, the two kept chatting.

“…”

Lately, Zhou Tian had been extremely busy—interviews, variety shows, commercials. She was running nonstop. Xia Ruo stayed by her side the whole time. Now that Zhou Tian didn’t have a company backing her, Xia Ruo had taken on the role of her manager, which kept her even busier. She was already considering hiring an assistant for Zhou Tian.

One day, they went to the outskirts of the city to record the variety show Everyone’s Backyard. Xia Ruo stayed at the hotel to handle business, while Zhou Tian joined the production team.

She was so busy that she had no time to keep up with the people around her or recent news.

So, when she walked into the private dining room arranged by the show and saw Lü Ningyue and Bai Qianxue, she was caught completely off guard.

“Hello, teachers and seniors!” Zhou Tian greeted everyone politely.

“Tiantian, you’re here too?” Lü Ningyue smiled and gave her a friendly pat on the arm.

Bai Qianxue, on the other hand, just gave her a cold glance without saying a word.

Zhou Tian was used to her attitude—your classic tsundere elder sister type. She stepped forward and greeted her with a smile: “Teacher Bai, you’re on Everyone’s Backyard too? What a coincidence.”

“Mm. Your new song is not bad,” Bai Qianxue said with a faint smile, but her expression quickly stiffened. “You know her?” she asked, tilting her chin toward Lü Ningyue, who was chatting with others.

“Yes, we’re friends. We were on Yue Sheng together. Don’t you remember, Teacher Bai?”

“That was ages ago. Who remembers that now? Are you two close?” she asked curiously.

Zhou Tian nodded. “Yeah, we’ve been good friends for a year or two.”

Bai Qianxue gave a slight nod and fell silent, seemingly deep in thought.

Zhou Tian assumed she was recalling the events from Yue Sheng, so she continued chatting with the other seniors, exchanging the usual polite pleasantries.

After greeting everyone, she returned to her seat next to Lü Ningyue.

“How have you been lately? Haven’t heard from you in a while,” she asked.

“I’ve been super busy,” Lü Ningyue smiled. “Oh, right—I signed on as the spokesperson for Qisheng’s athletic wear line. I’m collaborating with Wen Mingzhi. Hope you don’t mind?”

Zhou Tian smiled. “It’s fine. Collaborations are normal.”

Hearing her casual reply, the doubts in her heart finally faded. She felt a wave of relief.

“That’s good to hear! Your new song is doing amazing. Did you write it all yourself? You’re incredible!” Lü Ningyue praised.

“Yeah, I wrote it while on vacation. I didn’t expect people to like it so much.”

“You’re so talented!” Lü Ningyue grinned.

“But… you and President Wen, are you two…?” Lü Ningyue suddenly lowered her voice.

“We broke the contract. That’s all. Nothing else.” Zhou Tian answered with a helpless smile.

“Oh.” Lü Ningyue took a sip of juice, deep in thought. “But now that you’re no longer with President Wen, what’s your plan moving forward?”

“What else can I do? Just take whatever jobs come my way,” Zhou Tian shrugged with a sigh.

She wasn’t going to force anything. If she had work, great. If not, she’d focus on songwriting.

They both laughed and fell into silence. Zhou Tian glanced at the other seniors at the table. It was her first time on this show, and she didn’t know what to expect.

Summer had told her it was a slow-paced variety show—eating, chatting, singing together.

Based on the cast, that seemed about right. There were more variety entertainers, then singers and actors.

The producer had said this dinner was to help everyone get to know each other and build a warm, relaxed vibe—ideal for this kind of healing show.

It also happened to be the day the new regular guests arrived, so everyone could meet at once.

By the end of the meal, Zhou Tian felt that everyone was nice. The seniors were all kind… except Bai Qianxue. She couldn’t help but laugh to herself. That woman always had a frosty face. Cold and distant, not easy to approach.

Still, that gave her peace of mind. Hopefully, the rest of the recording would go smoothly.

Would you like me to continue translating the rest of the chapter starting from the next morning’s recording session?
