The Movie Queen Confesses to Me on Weibo Everyday - Chapter 30

Lu Qiyue opened the door, and Song Yang immediately saw the dark expression on her idol Chen Jie’s face.

The gaze fixed on her seemed ready to devour her alive?!

Swallowing nervously, Song Yang whispered, “Chen Jie, sister-in-law… did I… come at a bad time?”

Ruan Xingchen snorted coldly. “What do you think?!”

“Then… should I leave first?” Song Yang shrank under Ruan Xingchen’s dissatisfied glare. “Just pretend I was never here. Whatever you were doing before, you can… continue…”

As she spoke, she turned to flee as fast as possible, eager to vanish from Ruan Xingchen and Lu Qiyue’s sight.

“Alright, A’Ruan.” Lu Qiyue’s voice was soft, laced with helplessness and indulgence as she looked at Ruan Xingchen’s irritated expression.

“Song Yang kindly brought you food—you shouldn’t bully her.” Though her tone held no real authority, it instantly extinguished the fire in Ruan Xingchen’s temper.

With a sigh, Ruan Xingchen rubbed her slightly hungover head and slumped her shoulders apologetically. “Sorry.”

Song Yang was stunned, quickly waving her hands. “N-no, it’s fine! It’s my fault for coming too early. Really, I shouldn’t have shown up this soon…”

She then looked at Lu Qiyue with undisguised admiration.

Among the celebrities Song Yang had interacted with, Ruan Xingchen was one of the better-tempered—she never lashed out without reason. But a good temper didn’t mean she lacked one.

In fact, once Ruan Xingchen got angry, no amount of persuasion could calm her down.

Song Yang had braced herself for being ignored.

Yet Lu Qiyue had effortlessly soothed her with just a few words?!

Song Yang couldn’t help but wonder—was this the so-called… power of love?

Regardless, she decided it was time to disappear.

Glancing between the two, she said, “Chen Jie, sister-in-law, please enjoy your breakfast. I’ll go back to my room and get ready. Call me if you need anything.”

With that, she hurried out—though halfway down the hall, she paused and turned back.

“Oh, Chen Jie, Sister Zhang called earlier. She said a dance program wants to invite you to perform the opening act. She wants us to discuss whether to accept it once we’re back.”

A dance program? Opening act? Ruan Xingchen quickly grasped the producers’ intentions.

In the past, she would’ve refused outright—after all, acting was her main focus. But now, she had other considerations.

Nodding at Song Yang, she replied, “Got it. Pack up—we’ll head back soon.”

Song Yang: “Understood, Chen Jie.”

Once they were alone again, Lu Qiyue studied Ruan Xingchen. “A’Ruan, do you want to take this job?”

She had already sensed Ruan Xingchen’s interest, and a flicker of excitement stirred within her.

Her A’Ruan was exceptionally talented, especially in dance. The charm she exuded on stage was enough to captivate anyone who watched her perform. She was born for the stage, just as she was born to be an actress. But unfortunately, since Ruan Xingchen began acting, she had never seen her dance again. The only recent glimpse was from a video Ruan Xingchen posted on Weibo—just a short dance clip.

Ruan Xingchen didn’t hide it and nodded.

“Yes.”

She looked at Lu Qiyue and voiced her thoughts: “Yueyue, what if… I wanted you to perform this opening dance with me? Would you… be willing?”

“Me?” Lu Qiyue stared at Ruan Xingchen in shock. She hadn’t expected A’Ruan to invite her. Joy surged in her heart, but it was quickly followed by worry. “A’Ruan, I… can I really do it?”

“I’m just a dance teacher. The production inviting you must be a big one. Am I… really up for it?”

Lu Qiyue lacked confidence. She knew that once word got out that Ruan Xingchen needed a dance partner, countless outstanding dancers would compete for the spot.

She admitted she had some talent in dance, but she wasn’t sure she could stand out among so many skilled performers.

Ruan Xingchen noticed Lu Qiyue’s hesitation and could guess what was on her mind. With a soft smile, she looked into Lu Qiyue’s eyes and said earnestly, “Yueyue, the reason I want to take on this job isn’t for anything else—it’s just because I want to dance with you.”

She simply wanted to stand on the brightest stage and loudly tell Lu Qiyue, “I love you.”

She just wanted to announce to the world that Ruan Xingchen loved Lu Qiyue.

Yes, when Song Yang told her about the dance program’s invitation to perform an opening number, this idea had immediately sprung to Ruan Xingchen’s mind.

Even though Yueyue had already agreed to be her girlfriend, she hadn’t forgotten the sense of ceremony Yueyue desired—nor would she ever withhold it.

Lu Qiyue hadn’t expected Ruan Xingchen’s reasoning to be so simple. She froze for a few seconds, realizing her own thoughts had been far more complicated.

With an apologetic look, she said, “A’Ruan, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you—”

Ruan Xingchen wouldn’t accept her apology. Instead, she asked again, “So, are you willing?”

How could Lu Qiyue hesitate now? She nodded eagerly. “I am.”

She had thought she’d finally get to see her A’Ruan shine on stage again, but never imagined they’d perform together. This was the duet she had dreamed of for six years.

“Good. Then I’ll tell Sister Zhang I’m accepting the invitation when I get back.”

…

That afternoon, Ruan Xingchen and her team finally set off on their return journey.

She dropped Lu Qiyue off at Haiyue Park’s Yunzhu Residence first before heading to the company with Song Yang.

Zhang Ye was already waiting at the office. The moment she saw Ruan Xingchen, she couldn’t resist teasing, “Oh, so our award-winning actress finally remembers she has work to do? What about your girlfriend? Don’t you need to spend time with her anymore?”

Recognizing the dissatisfaction in Zhang Ye’s tone, Ruan Xingchen knew she was in the wrong and stayed silent, letting her vent.

But Zhang Ye was just grumbling. She wasn’t actually going to hold it against her.

After all, she had managed Ruan Xingchen for six years—she knew her far too well.

Ruan Xingchen appeared cold on the outside, but deep down she was a deeply sentimental person, especially when it came to a love that remained etched in her heart even after six years.

Seeing Ruan Xingchen remain silent, Zhang Ye waved her hand in resignation. “Forget it, let’s not waste time on this.”

Zhang Ye tossed a document to Ruan Xingchen. “This just came in—a dance show called ‘Street Dance Masters’ wants you. They probably saw your viral dance video and want you to perform an opening number to boost their ratings.”

“The pay’s good, and there aren’t many restrictions. Since it’s just an opening act, not a guest judge, I took the liberty of accepting for you.”

“Take a look at the contract. If everything checks out, sign it.”

Ruan Xingchen carefully reviewed the contract. As Zhang Ye had said, it even stated that whether she chose a solo or group performance, the show wouldn’t impose strict requirements on her dance partner—they’d even cover the partner’s performance fee. The terms were undeniably generous.

With a few quick strokes, Ruan Xingchen signed the contract and handed it back. “Sister Zhang, I plan to perform this opening dance with Yueyue.”

“With Miss Lu?” Zhang Ye frowned briefly before relaxing. “I almost forgot Miss Lu is a dance instructor. If that’s your decision, I’ll inform the production team.”

Ruan Xingchen nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, Zhang Ye studied her with a knowing look. “Xingchen… do you have something planned?”

“If you’re plotting something, give me a heads-up so I can prepare. I don’t want another surprise like your first confession tweet.”

At this point, Zhang Ye still had lingering trepidation about that viral moment.

Seeing her manager’s concern, Ruan Xingchen came clean. “Sister Zhang, I’m going to use this dance to confess to Yueyue.”

“Confess?” Zhang Ye couldn’t help feeling envious of the show’s incredible luck. They’d invited Ruan Xingchen for her influence, only to have her plan a live confession that would double their exposure.

When this happened, the show would undoubtedly explode in popularity. Ratings, trending topics, Weibo headlines—they’d all come knocking at the production team’s door. Hiring Ruan Xingchen was clearly the right move.

Still, while public acceptance of same-s3x relationships had grown, there remained stubborn detractors. Such a high-profile confession would inevitably attract backlash.

The thought made Zhang Ye turn serious. “Xingchen, do what you need to do. The company will have the PR team ready to shield you both from any ugly comments.”

Ruan Xingchen looked at her manager gratefully. “Thank you.”

Zhang Ye waved her off. “Come on, since when are we so formal?”

“But should we arrange a live stream? Your fans have been begging to witness the confession live.” Zhang Ye’s eyes sparkled with excitement. A live broadcast would undoubtedly win Ruan Xingchen even more admirers.

Although artists at her level no longer cared about fan numbers, she still felt happy whenever a few more people came to like her artist.

“Most importantly, dog food tastes better when shared with everyone,” Zhang Ye muttered to herself.

With the serious matters concluded, Ruan Xingchen stood up to say goodbye.

Zhang Ye also rose to her feet. “Where are you going?”

“Home. I need to discuss with Yueyue what dance we should perform,” Ruan Xingchen replied as she headed toward the door.
