The Movie Queen Confesses to Me on Weibo Everyday - Chapter 15

How else could the two of them have worked together for six years?

Zhang Ye almost instantly caught on to Ruan Xingchen’s ulterior motives.

Ruan Xingchen glanced at Lu Qiyue and sighed, “No.”

Her Yueyue was like a vast sea of stars—conquering her would just take some time.

“Tch, making such a big fuss. I thought you were better at this,” Zhang Ye joked. Then she straightened up and asked seriously, “Xingchen, were you just impulsive today? You already made a huge scene by confessing on Weibo. People are naturally curious about Miss Lu, and today you brought her out like that—have you thought about what happens next?”

“Will Miss Lu’s work, life, and family be disturbed?”

“You know how fierce keyboard warriors can be.”

Their artist hadn’t made such a rookie mistake in six years of working together, and yet this time…

So love really is toxic.

Ruan Xingchen couldn’t deny Zhang Ye’s concerns, but she didn’t rush to respond. Instead, she looked at Lu Qiyue and said, “Yueyue, you heard what Zhang Jie said. The place you’re living at now isn’t very safe anymore. To keep your life undisturbed, I think you should move.”

“Move?” Lu Qiyue instinctively echoed, “Move where?”

A sly smile flickered in Ruan Xingchen’s eyes as she said gently, “To my place.”

“Since I caused the trouble, I have to take responsibility for your safety.”

Look at that—so righteous and still managing to make herself look good!

Zhang Ye rolled her eyes.

One step after another, everything falling perfectly into place. Since when did their artist get this good at playing the game?

Zhang Ye glanced at Lu Qiyue, curious if this obvious plan of their artist would actually work.

Moving in with Ruan Xingchen? That meant living together again.

They had lived together six years ago, but back then they were a couple. Now… they weren’t.

Still, in an emergency, it wasn’t easy to find a new place. Plus, that place held her most precious memories. After renting it for so many years, how could she just give it up?

“I’ll go… to a friend’s place first,” Lu Qiyue said after hesitating.

She thought of Ji Yuchen, who lived alone and would probably let her stay for a while.

She picked up her phone to call Ji Yuchen.

But before she could dial, Ji Yuchen’s call came in.

“Yueyue, you finally agreed to be with my Chen Jie?”

“Yueyue, honestly, you and my Chen Jie have such great chemistry. Isn’t her embrace the safest place ever? My favorite idol and my best friend are actually a couple? Ahhh, I’m about to go crazy.”

Ji Yuchen’s words came out like a machine gun, not letting Lu Qiyue get a word in.

Lu Qiyue glanced awkwardly at Ruan Xingchen and explained, “Yuchen is… your fan. Last time you posted on Weibo, she guessed it was shot at my place, so she thought we were…”

“Aren’t we?” Ruan Xingchen raised an eyebrow, displeased that Lu Qiyue tried to deny their connection. Seeing Lu Qiyue biting her lip because of her words, she sighed and said, “Even if we’re not now, doesn’t that mean we could be in the future? Yueyue, do you misunderstand how I feel about you?”

Of course Lu Qiyue didn’t. She was just… not sure if they really had a future.

“Yuchen, can I stay at your place tonight?” Not wanting to get tangled in that question with Ruan Xingchen, Lu Qiyue quickly changed the subject to interrupt her chatty friend.

But Ji Yuchen didn’t catch what she said and exclaimed in disbelief, “Was that just now… my Chen Jie’s voice?”

“Yueyue, you’re with Chen Jie now?”

Ji Yuchen’s scream was so sharp that Lu Qiyue quickly moved the phone away.

“That doesn’t make sense. If you’re with my Chen Jie, why come stay at my place?” Without thinking, Ji Yuchen rejected her, “Yueyue, my spare room is such a mess it’s not fit to live in. Sorry.”

“Also, I wish you and my Chen Jie a wonderful night.” She hung up right after saying that.

Listening to the dial tone, Lu Qiyue’s eyes widened.

She got… rejected?

Ruan Xingchen, on the other hand, laughed softly.

“Yueyue, you have to introduce me to this friend of yours sometime.”

Before Lu Qiyue could react, Ruan Xingchen quickly told the driver, “Haiyue Park, Yunzhe.”

…

The car soon arrived. Ruan Xingchen got out first, steadied herself, and held out her hand to Lu Qiyue with a faint smile and a gentle tone.

“Yueyue, we’re home.”

Lu Qiyue still looked hesitant. “Ruan Xingchen, maybe… I should still stay at—”

Before she could say “hotel,” Ruan Xingchen cut her off.

Turning to Zhang Ye, Ruan Xingchen said, “Zhang Jie, have someone bring me some sleeping pills later. I ran out at home.”

“Sleeping pills…?” Zhang Ye blinked. Since when did their artist need sleeping pills to sleep? Just as she was about to ask, she saw Ruan Xingchen blink rapidly twice and immediately got it, smiling to herself.

This was the classic “feign injury” strategy.

Zhang Ye nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll have the driver bring them to you.”

Ruan Xingchen nodded, then turned to Lu Qiyue, pretending she hadn’t heard anything earlier. “Yueyue, what were you going to say just now?”

Meeting Ruan Xingchen’s questioning look, Lu Qiyue struggled for a moment and then shook her head.

“N-nothing.”

Hearing Ruan Xingchen ask Zhang Ye for sleeping pills reminded Lu Qiyue that Ruan Xingchen had trouble sleeping. Thinking of how well Ruan Xingchen slept when she was around, Lu Qiyue softened.

Fine, she’d stay tonight—for now, at least, so Ruan Xingchen could get some proper rest.

After Lu Qiyue got out of the car, Ruan Xingchen and Zhang Ye waved goodbye.

Haiyue Park Yunzhe was a villa community full of detached houses. Ruan Xingchen’s house was the innermost one.

The door lock was a keypad and fingerprint lock. As she opened it, Ruan Xingchen said, “The door code is the same as my phone password. I’ll add your fingerprint later.”

“No… that’s not necessary.” Lu Qiyue shook her head, following behind her. “I… I’m only staying one night.”

Ruan Xingchen paused, said nothing, then bent down to get slippers for Lu Qiyue.

After placing the slippers by her feet, she reached out to take off Lu Qiyue’s shoes.

These small gestures were things Ruan Xingchen often did six years ago.

Back then, Lu Qiyue was delicate—no matter what, she liked to cling to Ruan Xingchen to do everything for her, completely enjoying being spoiled.

Of course, Ruan Xingchen was happy to pamper her lover.

What Lu Qiyue thought would only appear in memories came back to life before her eyes, and she couldn’t hold back the tears welling up.

“Ruan Xingchen, let me do it myself.”

“Yueyue, don’t keep refusing me, okay?”
