Chapter 20

Bai Yin returned to her room and lay in bed, watching a dance video of "Ni Chang", while secretly cursing Chen Huaixiao.

He was like a nemesis in her life.

It didn't matter, anyway those people at the company didn't know her, and she hadn't shown her face either.

As long as she didn't feel embarrassed, it would be someone else who would feel embarrassed.

Hmm.

Bai Yin watched the video for a while, feeling sleepy, and then dozed off under the covers.

Half asleep, she felt someone climb into bed with her.

Bai Yin opened her eyes, surrounded by pitch-black darkness, but a familiar scent invaded her world.

She instinctively wanted to push him away, but Chen Huaixiao kissed her, his voice low and sexy: "You seduced me just now, now you have to take responsibility."

Bai Yin immediately used her hand to push against his broad chest: "Chen Huaixiao, do you know why I seduced you?"

"I know." In the darkness, the man lightly grazed her ear with his nose: "You were bullied on set."

"Since you know, will you help me then?"

"No." Chen Huaixiao's answer was also straightforward: "If I help you once, what relationship will we have?"

Bai Yin's hand against his chest relaxed slightly: "Then... what kind of relationship do we have?"

"Husband and wife." Chen Huaixiao bit her ear: "So, my legally wedded wife, please fulfill your obligation."

"Compared to this, I'd rather be a canary!"

"Keep dreaming."

...

Bai Yin could tell that Chen Huaixiao just wanted to take advantage of her. In terms of her career, he wouldn't help her at all.

It made sense, a proud man like him had already been trapped in the fortress of marriage by her calculations, how could he let her use his resources and connections to her advantage?

Bai Yin lay beside him, looking at the handsome profile of the man through the hazy darkness.

Even in his sleep, his face still wore that untouchable cold expression.

Actually, Bai Yin didn't feel like she was losing out at all. Not only was she not losing out, but she was also gaining a lot.

She reached out her slender arm, her fingertips lightly caressing his clear and refined face like playing the piano. To be able to sleep with such a handsome man, even if she had to pay to support him, she would do it willingly.

She leaned in closer to Chen Huaixiao and kissed his jaw lightly, then felt it wasn't enough, so she kissed his sharp lips.

Only when he was asleep could she kiss him so recklessly.

Chen Huaixiao was her life buoy, she had to hold on tightly.

She whispered in his ear like a hypnotist: "Chen Huaixiao loves Bai Yin and is willing to do anything for her. If she encounters danger, Chen Huaixiao will be the first one to rush to her side. If anyone troubles her, Chen Huaixiao will shut them down without question."

Every day, she hypnotized him like this in his sleep, like a psychological suggestion.

"Bai Yin is Chen Huaixiao's beloved, he loves her until the end of time..."

By the end of her words, Bai Yin herself felt nauseous, but she held on and continued: "I'll live for her, I'll die for her..."

However, just as Bai Yin was getting into the swing of things and about to use more disgusting words to hypnotize him, she was surprised to feel a pair of scorching-hot hands grip her slender waist.

The man opened his dark eyes and gazed into hers through the darkness. "To live for you, to die for you?" he asked.

Bai Yin was taken aback and tried to run, but the man held her tight. "Love you until the end of time?" he asked in a low, magnetic voice.

The young girl blushed with embarrassment and anger. "What kind of hero pretends to sleep?" she demanded.

"If I didn't pretend to sleep, how would I know that my wife still has such ambitions?" The man's voice was deep and seductive, as he continued teasing her. "So, you're no longer satisfied with just the entertainment industry's victories and defeats?"

"That's right." Bai Yin boldly admitted, "I want to conquer you."

"Heh."

"Chen Huaixiao, you should know that having a wife is the best way for a married male star in the entertainment industry. Just look at the fate of those cheating male stars! Don't make the same mistake."

Chen Huaixiao smiled faintly. "Alright." "Alright?"

Chen Huaixiao lay on the bed with one hand behind his head, his peach blossom eyes full of meaning as he hooked her. "I'll give you a chance to conquer me."

...

The next day, Shen Bin drove a Mercedes-Benz to pick up Chen Huaixiao.

Previously, butler Tang Ka had always driven Chen Huaixiao to the company, but recently, Shen Bin had noticed that the CEO would ride a small yellow bike to work.

Without a doubt, it was the work of Chen's wife.

As a professional workplace flatterer, Shen Bin immediately suggested picking up and dropping off the CEO every day.

He also noticed that on the days when Chen Huaixiao stayed at home, he was always particularly fatigued and would doze off in the car.

As a lowly CEO assistant, there were some things he didn't dare to ask about. He just kindly said, "Take care of yourself, sir."

Chen Huaixiao lifted his gaze and gave him a sharp look.

Shen Bin quickly changed the subject and said, "Sir, the matter with the 'Nishang' drama crew has been investigated. Originally, Madam had secured the lead dancer role, but the female lead, Song Anti, suggested that Madam become her substitute. Madam has been unhappy lately, probably because of this."

Chen Huaixiao looked out the window, his face calm and expressionless. "I know."

Shen Bin carefully chose his words and asked him, "Sir, do you want to help Madam?" "She has her own abilities. Why should I help her?"

Bai Yin became Song Anti's dance substitute and worked hard to replicate Song's figure, gaining weight where necessary. She even had to make her tattoo on her back as similar as possible.

In the tattoo studio, the buzzing sound of the machine made Sun Lili's teeth ache.

Seeing Bai Yin writhing in pain on the single bed, she was angry and annoyed. "She has a tattoo on her lower back, and you have to endure the pain to get an identical one. That's too much of a hardship!"

Bai Yin gazed straight ahead with a restrained expression. "That's the job of a substitute, to strive for a hundred percent similarity."

"You're too dedicated. Can't she just wash off her own tattoo?"

"She's the lead actress, and I'm just an extra," Bai Yin gritted her teeth through the pain, enunciating each word, "To compete with her is like a flea trying to move a tree—it's beyond one's ability."

Sun Lili sat on a small chair, gently wiping the sweat from Bai Yin's forehead, "You were the lead dancer before, and now you're just a stunt double. If I were you, I would quit."

"The pay for being a stunt double is even higher than that of a lead dancer, why wouldn't I do it?"

"You're already married to Chen Huaixiao, do you still need the money?"

"Who would complain about having too much money?"

Bai Yin had never felt secure since she was young, like a hamster trying to save up for winter, she had to work hard to save every penny, big or small.

The drama "Ni Chang" had also invested heavily in the production. Soon after the release of the first trailer, which quickly became the top trending topic, the investment company heavily promoted the drama.

Aside from the palace scenes, the most captivating part of the trailer was the stunning dance performed by the female lead, Song Anti, on the lake.

Wearing a water-red dress, she looked like a blooming bud, swaying gracefully in the night breeze, as if she were a fairy. Her waist was adorned with a butterfly tattoo that seemed to come to life, fluttering and dancing along with her.

This dance was so breathtaking that it amazed most netizens, and fans were screaming with excitement.

"Ah! My Ni is so beautiful! Amazing!"

"Ni's dancing skills have improved so quickly! Who is this heavenly sister?"

"Wuwuwu, it's so beautiful! Who still dares to say that Ni's dancing is not good-looking?"

"From the perspective of a professional dancer, Song Anti's dance in this section is impeccable."

Most of the comments on the trailer were about Song Anti's dance.

Song Anti proudly reposted the trailer, saying, "Thank you all for your recognition. The Ni Chang Feather Dance is really difficult to perform, but I will work hard to present the most beautiful performance for everyone!"

...

Sun Lili angrily sent a screenshot to Bai Yin, "Song Anti is shameless. By reposting the trailer, she is indirectly saying that she performed that dance herself! She not only didn't avoid using a stunt double, but also deliberately confused the audience. How disgusting."

In the steam-filled bathroom, Bai Yin lit some scented candles and relaxed in the tub. She replied to Sun Lili, "Take it easy. Don't be so impatient."

After several days, the pain in her waist from the butterfly tattoo had finally subsided.

Now, it was time for Song Anti to feel the pain.
