Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

Golden Agent of the Adonis (89)

The director breathed a sigh of relief, satisfied that they avoided any awkward moments on camera. It would make the post-production editing much easier, and the joyful footage would make the show more entertaining.

Zhou Yuan never managed to regain the upper hand. In the end, she got scared and refused to answer any more questions. She found an excuse to stop playing, and everyone packed up and went to rest.

As soon as the recording stopped, Fang Zhenxuan immediately found Chu Xiang and nervously scrutinized her expression. “How was my performance? Did I do well?”

Sister Qing was nearby and thought he was asking about the variety show experience, so she praised, “You did great. Your Sister Chu Xiang was just discussing with me about having you participate in the finale. Perform well tomorrow, and if everything goes smoothly, you can come for the finale.”

Fang Zhenxuan smiled and said, “Thank you, Sister Qing. I’ll do my best.”

“Alright, you guys talk. I’ll head back to the hotel first.” Sister Qing bade them goodbye and left, still considering having Fang Zhenxuan participate in the finale recording.

Fang Zhenxuan glanced at Chu Xiang again. She smiled and asked, “What’s the matter? Are you afraid that I’ll blame you for mentioning me on the show?”

Fang Zhenxuan’s gaze drifted for a moment, “I… I was just complimenting you. I mean, my agent is so outstanding. Everyone should know, right? Besides… ” He leaned in and whispered, “Zhou Yuan made things difficult for me, so I have to protect myself.”

Chu Xiang saw through it but didn’t expose him. She whispered back, “Then continue to protect yourself. Your agent is very satisfied with your performance.”

Fang Zhenxuan instantly smiled and invited her to sit on the chairs on the balcony. He went behind her and massaged her shoulders. “You must be tired from filming all day. Let me give you a massage to help you relax. Rest well when we go back to the room.”

Chu Xiang nodded. “By the way, ‘Legend of Noble Consort Jing’ premiered today. They aired two episodes, and I just checked. The response is great, and the ratings are high. Your character became popular as soon as you appeared. It’s your first drama. Do you want to watch it?”

Fang Zhenxuan pondered for a moment and said, “It’s not very interesting for me to watch it alone. Let’s watch it together with Xinxin after we go back. Knowing that the results are good is enough.”

He paused and added, “Last time when we were recording Extreme Mode, we were in a rush and didn’t have a chance to explore Paris properly. What do you think about staying for an extra day after this recording? You’re still going to buy gifts for others, right? Shall I accompany you for some shopping?”

“Do you have the patience for shopping? It can be tiring. I can ask Sister Qing to join us.”

“I won’t be tired. If you buy too many items, you won’t be able to carry them all. I can help you carry them, and it will also give me a chance to explore Paris properly. I can’t accompany you for shopping in China, so why not give me this opportunity to show my courtesy?”

“Okay, think about the places you want to visit. After buying the gifts, we can go and have fun. We’ve been busy with work for a long time, so it’s time to relax. That’s settled then. Let’s go back and rest. We have another recording tomorrow.”

“Sounds good.”

Chu Xiang got up and turned around. She noticed that Fang Zhenxuan’s eyes were brighter than before, and his smile looked even better. She couldn’t help but smile. Zhou Yuan saw them from the second-floor window, her expression constantly changing.

She suspected that there was something ambiguous going on between Chu Xiang and Fang Zhenxuan, but it wasn’t interesting to expose something without evidence. Fang Zhenxuan was tall, handsome, and exuded youthful energy. His eyes never seemed to shift away from Chu Xiang. Zhou Yuan suddenly thought of Chen Lifeng, who was 30 years old. Although he was handsome, he didn’t have the same youthful charm as Fang Zhenxuan. Compared with Fang Zhenxuan, his more mature and stable appearance seemed to be a generation behind.

She remembered Chu Xiang’s previous Weibo post, where she mentioned liking handsome little brothers and that she and Chen Lifeng were just friends. Seeing Chu Xiang’s obvious transformation into a more beautiful lady, Zhou Yuan felt a tightness in her heart. By her side was the steady and mature film emperor, while Chu Xiang had the energetic and youthful little wolf dog. Why did it feel like she was the one who lost? She actually felt that Chu Xiang and Fang Zhenxuan looked sweet together!

This made her even more suffocated, so she abruptly closed the curtains, choosing not to watch the scenery.

Fang Zhenxuan and Chu Xiang went their separate ways. He returned to his room, quickly took a shower, and lay on the bed scrolling through Weibo before preparing to sleep. Everyone was praising his performance.

Just as he was about to close Weibo, Fang Zhenxuan saw several comments that said: [Aaahhh, The Legend of Noble Consort Jing is superb. It’s so well-made, and my Brother Zhenxuan looks so handsome in it! I can’t even focus on studying anymore. My revision for today is ruined!]

[+1 for not being able to study. Why couldn’t they air it a few days later? The college entrance exam is coming up, aaahhh! All I can think about is Xuanxuan!]

Fang Zhenxuan didn’t know if they were telling the truth or not. He switched to his main account and replied to one of the comments: [As a student, you should focus on studying and reviewing properly. Only after getting into your desired university will you have more time to chase after your idols. Don’t watch the drama for now, focus on your study materials.]
