The Sweet Life: Secretly Married to a Movie Star

Chapter 37: Best Actor Su is the Second Male Lead

Liang Qiaoen was annoyed hearing Xia Yishan call her ‘Old Liang’.

‘That’s a term of endearment for people who are close.’

The makeup artist Ms. Aimi could not help but ask, “May I know which brand of skincare this actor uses?”

Xia Yishan thought hard about it, as it was a long time since she last used skincare. The one that she used was purchased from B-City. “Pechoin.”

Ms. Aimi’s hand that held the makeup brush trembled.

‘Oh, okay. It’s good to support local products.’

She asked, half in disbelief, “Do you really only use the Pechoin brand?”

Xia Yishan opened her arms. “If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve forgotten that I’ve used up my Pechoin makeup. I’ll need to spend money again. It hurts my wallet so much…”

Aimi was dumbstruck.

Liang Qiaoen had no words either.

She soon recalled something important. “Oh yeah, Yishan, I forgot to ask you something before. Do you have a boyfriend?”

“No.”

Xia Yishan thought to herself, ‘I’m sorry, Best Actor Su!!!’

“That’s good. The company definitely discourages you from being in a relationship now. If you really can’t control yourself, you’ll have to inform the company…”

“I know~”

“Oh yeah, the company arranged an assistant for you. Her name is Xiaoying. She’s already waiting for us at the set.”

“Thank you, company~”

Xia Yishan studied the script carefully, and finally thought of something she missed out, “Who are the movie’s male and female leads and the supporting roles?”

Liang Qiaoen said in all seriousness, “The male lead is Xu Xiangyang from Huaqiao Entertainment; the female lead is Bai Qiuman from Yihai Entertainment; the second female lead is Rui Yu from Yingxia Film…”

“Wait, why are there no actors from Asia Entertainment?”

“There is,” Liang Qiaoen said proudly. “The second male lead is our best actor, Su Jingting…”

Xia Yishan was speechless.

She would be a couple with Best Actor Su in her first work?

Noticing that she looked upset, Liang Qiaoen said comfortingly, “Don’t worry. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Although Best Actor Su is a little cold, he won’t be mean to the actors from the same company.”

“Hah…” She was not worried that Best Actor Su would be mean but that he would be too passionate.

“What? You don’t believe me?”

“No.” Xia Yishan tried her best to force a smile. “Doing a scene with Best Actor Su is better than winning the lottery for me. Right, Old Liang, would Best Actor Su and I be caught in a scandal if we do a scene together? It’ll be unfortunate if I affect the Master Best Actor’s career…”

“You think you’ll be in a scandal with Best Actor Su from a scene that will be over in a minute? You must be dreaming!” Liang Qiaoen laughed without holding back.

Xia Yishan had no response.

“But I’m warning you, don’t offend Best Actor Su.”

Xia Yishan was confused.

“Su Jingting had enough outstanding talent to become the Best Actor. He isn’t in many movies, but all of them are famous. When an actor becomes famous, it’s inevitable that they’d attract trouble for themselves. Some with bad intentions would pay internet trolls to attack him, while some would want to ride on his fame. However, Best Actor Su has never been affected. Rumor has it that he’s related to Su family, the owner of F-Group, which supports Asia Entertainment. They’re most likely distant relatives…”

“So powerful?”

“Yes, but they can’t be closely related. Otherwise, why would he bother to get into the entertainment industry?! The Su family is Beijing’s God of Wealth. Many want to butter him even though he’s only distantly related. The scripts he gets are usually great. However, the investor for this movie is Yihai Entertainment. Yihai Entertainment is under the Han Group. They have great financial support. They initially appointed Best Actor Su to be the first male lead, but he was only willing to play the second male lead. I just don’t get it…”

Cold sweat was dripping down Xia Yishan’s forehead.

‘Can it be that he did that for me…?’
