Inevitably Trapped With The Amorous Husband

The confused Xiulan quickly glanced at Secretary Dandan"s seat and it was empty. She just arrived in her office and most of the employees might be having their lunch break outside that"s why the office was really quiet.

"I came here during the employee"s lunch time so Dandan doesn"t know that I am here." Nuo Shu mumbled as she read Xiulan"s confused expression.

Xiulan understood and quickly walked inside her office. "What"s up?" She asked and sat beside her sister. The unexpected visit by her big sister honestly surprised her.

Nuo Shu made a quick a.s.sessment at her little sister"s attire. "Not bad. This dress is really expensive and as I heard it"s a limited edition. That haughty Honqgi sure knows how to pamper his wife." She subconsciously thought and praised Hongqi"s fas.h.i.+on taste.

"You were looking for celebrity company representative, right? I am here to discuss about it." Nuo Shu said and pulled her very expensive looking pink briefcase and placed it on top of the coffee table.

"Ah! About that... I might be hiring someone from Hongqi"s company instead." Xiulan said and guiltily bit her lips. She was anxious that she may have caused her sister unexpected burdens. After all, she came here just to talk about it. Xiulan"s pretty aware that her big sister is a busy lady.

It was only last night that she agreed to Hongqi"s inappropriate request. If he didn"t blackmailed her, then she wouldn"t be feeling anxious right now.

"Oh my... this is a turn of events." Nuo Shu mentally remarked.

"Hmmm... so you are finally using your husband"s a.s.sets? That"s right, make use of that man"s resources. It"s about time." Nuo Shu seems to be not offended but rather she was surprised that this little sister of hers is finally cooperating willingly with a male.

It"s not that Xiulan hates men, she"s just naturally stubborn and won"t ask any help as long as she can do it by herself.

Most of the time, men willingly want to help her on very complicated matters and problems. But she"s so stubborn and would try to finish it by herself. She hates it when people would rub it on her that she can"t do this or that. She wants to learn and be independent.

Due to men"s insistent and unwanted help, she tries to avoid them as possible. How can someone learn if they keep babying that person, right? Nuo Shu understands her little sister"s point and she supports it very much.

When it comes to her little sister"s relations.h.i.+p to the opposite s.e.x, the Wen brothers are a different case but that handsome casino heir, Mo Dejiang has a peculiar relations.h.i.+p with her sister. They seem to have the same wavelength and tacit understanding because of their common interest which is technology.

Unfortunately, the young man was not the best candidate as Song Yingpei"s son-in-law due to obvious reasons.

Though Mo Dejiang and Xing Hongqi have a bad reputation when it comes to their long list of women, but when it comes to business, the industry they are controlling are very different and both are the masters in their field.

Hongqi is suspiciously super rich and powerful but his money is clean. While Dejiang in the other hand, his money came from illicit transactions and gambling. A casino is connected to a lot of dark transactions and Song Yingpei doesn"t want his family to be involved in any of that.

Though both still have another common denominator, they are both good in power tripping. Well, wouldn"t use and take advantage of the G.o.dly influence like those two have, right?

Anyway, now that this little sister is learning to be dependent and trustful to the opposite gender, this relations.h.i.+p might go the the healthy route. They consummated and seems to be friendly with each other. This type of "friendly" progress never happened in her marriage and Qiaohui"s marriage before.

Maybe this time, an arrange marriage bestowed to one of the Song sisters might be a success and not considered a curse.

"Great character development! Congrats!" Nuo Shu thought and secretly congratulated this complicated little sister.

"I originally planned to get someone from your agency but Hongqi blackmailed me. I was pushed to say yes to pick one of his top artists." Xiulan sighed. It"s like she didn"t want any of this at all and she had to unwillingly oblige to whatever Hongqi wanted.

"That"s a tricky situation, my dear sis. Blackmailing so you can have good benefit?" Nuo Shu"s actually confused of the situation. It was rather a good deal than a predicament.

"You know my principles for my company, as possible the company should be a.s.sociated and affiliated with other companies who have female CEOs." Xiulan aggrieved. She wasn"t able to maintain such policy. She did her best to make the company stick to being all female.

Nuo Shu understands this very much. She also has that same principle but since she"s working in the s...o...b..z industry, it is inevitable not to work with men.

"Well... Hongqi has a good reputation of being generous and you are also married to him. It"s only logical that he will annoyingly dote on you like this. Also, picking me instead of your husband might cause unnecessary rumors. Just savor this moment, my dear little sister. Get all the good stuff from this marriage. Don"t stress it." Nuo Shu beamed and stand up. Her agenda, meeting Xiulan, changed and she needs to leave to go to her next agenda. But she suddenly halted and looked back at her little sister who grew up so prettily.

"I"m telling you, my dear little sister. Don"t ever follow the atrocities that I and Qiaohui did to our marriage." Nuo Shu lectured before moving again to the door.

She only noticed now that this cute and nerdy little sister grew up as the hot, mysterious and beautiful lady that men loves so much. "Oh dear... that Hongqi will surely be possessive in the near future." She subconsciously remarked and everything screams danger but she hopes that nothing bad will happen in this relations.h.i.+p. He"s Xing Hongqi, for Christ"s sake.

She doesn"t want to be the party p.o.o.per but Xiulan and Hongqi are both naturally stubborn. She somewhat guessed there will be a storm between the two if a great misunderstanding happens.

"Wait, you won"t stay for a little longer?" Xiulan hastily asked her retreating sister and ignored whatever she was saying about marriage. Right now, everything is well between her and Hongqi. If something"s a missed then she just have to do everything she can to move on from whatever impediment.

Nuo Shu"s hand gripped on the door handle. "Sorry, I really need to go. I still have to visit M city for a fas.h.i.+on show. I"ll see you around and oh, by the way. Don"t be too chummy with your husband. You can have all the l.u.s.t but always remember, your heart must stay with you. Remember that." Nuo Shu firmly and ambiguously added to her lecture. She can"t help but lecture and lecture her little sister. She"s a paranoid big sister.

"Huh?" Xiulan lagged a little bit by her sister"s unforeseen topic. "Why is she suddenly in the mood to lecture me about this?" She subconsciously complained.

Since Nuo Shu is really in the mood to be talkative and be that annoying adult that advises the youngsters about love and marriage, she looked back at her sister and with a smug face, she spouted a litany that confuses Xiulan more.

"Remember this, my little cute sister. Currently, you are just attracted to your husband because he is hot. If you keep thinking about the new feelings you are experiencing right now whenever he"s involved. Just think it"s an attraction, it is not love. It can only be love once you do things that only insane people would do. Remember that, okay? I am telling you this because you are having a leap in your character development. I want you to still have your feet on the ground and not be irrational. I am not sure why I am saying this but I just want you to know I am very concerned." She quickly left office after saying that long recital. The sound of her Louboutin heels can be heard in the hallway.

"Character development? Only an attraction? What the h.e.l.l is she on?" Xiulan sighed and laid back on her seat and ma.s.saged her temples. Her sister sure has some twisted things going on. Xiulan felt like her big sister would always try to lecture her about the matters of the heart and this time she gave a really deep and long spiel.

Nuo Shu must be too concerned for her since Nuo Shu had a one-sided love towards her ex-husband. She must be really scared that Xiulan will have the same fate.

Xiulan suddenly remembers Nuo Shu"s tragic love story. As she remembers her sister"s sad smile while her ex-husband went back to his first love makes her heart hurt a little bit. She doesn"t want to experience any of that.

Hongqi also has someone who"s considered the one that got away. She doesn"t know much about their past but it seems that woman was the root of all Hongqi"s evil and reckless choices in life.

Of course, whoever created such wrath can also be the one to fix it. Should she ready herself in case Hongqi throws her away?

"Wait... why should I ready myself? It"s not like it"s going to bother me. It"s just attraction, okay." Now Nuo Shu"s advice quickly went in her head like a virus.

"Why are we here? Where"s young master Xing?" the female top celebrities complained to Secretary Yang Bo. They are currently inside the s.p.a.cious and posh meeting room inside Hongqi"s company. There are a lot of meeting rooms inside the company but this one was the largest since it"s like a hall. The room is used for important functions that needs to accommodate a lot of people.

Since the estimated number of Hongqi"s top female celebrities are over 30+, minus the female celebrities who were involved with him before, they really need to use this meeting room than the regular ones.

They were all excited that the young master invited them to have a meeting. It"s very rare for new list actress to have a close encounter with the great Xing Hongqi. Usually, he only meets or greet the top earners or the super popular celebrities.

If he has to greet the trainees or anyone below, he usually has a once a year meet the CEO function in the main hall.

"Don"t you think the CEO is being petty? Why didn"t he include the girls who were involved with him before in this meeting?" one the actresses innocently inquired.

"Ss.h.!.+ Don"t gossip too much when Secretary Yang Bo is present." someone hushed the innocent actress.

"Ah... Sorry... But still, this is really fishy."

Secretary Yang Bo just finished having a conversation on the phone with Hongqi when he noticed the gossiping actresses. "If you are curious, we will start the meeting immediately so you can have the clarity. The young master won"t be able to attend to this meeting due to his preparation for the coming business summit."

"Ehh?!" they all complained. Even the present top actresses who are waiting for him were disappointed. Ever since the young master got married, they rarely see him anymore. They were able to see him during awards shows but that is not enough.

They all thought Mrs. Xing was hogging all his attention and keeping him locked in their love nest. This caused to sprout enmity towards the clueless Xiulan. They secretly bad mouth her that she"s insecure or afraid.

Add that the young master seems to favor her so much, their hate towards her has reached a certain degree.

"Young master Xing is very busy nowadays. Other than this company, he has other businesses." Secretary Yang Bo lowkey reminded them that the young master has other "big" businesses to attend, not only this s...o...b..z company that seems to be sky rocketing even without his full attention to it.

"We understand." they gloomily replied.

"Answering the curiosity in everyone"s heart, we didn"t include the female celebrities who had a past with young master Xing due to young master"s strict compliance. He doesn"t want his wife to be sad or get jealous." Secretary Yang Bo announced with a straight face.

"Wife? What? Jealous? Huh? What?" The female celebrities were suddenly confused of the situation.

"Wife.... does he mean Song Xiulan?" they all thought and got more confused why she"s being mentioned in this gathering.

"Yes, you heard that right. The young master will pick someone to work with his wife"s company as a celebrity representative and muse. The lucky selected female will be part of a 1 billion yuan movie project and will be paired with Han Jojo. Regardless of popularity or rank, she will also get paid 100 million Yuan[1] as payment for working with his wife if the goal was reached but if not, it"ll only be 50 million yuan. The contract to play as the representative and muse in Mrs. Xing"s company will only last for a whole year but if any mishaps happen, the selected celebrity must pay half as penalty." Secretary Yang Bo dutifully explained. He thought the rewards were quite flashy and too much but this amount is just a speck in his boss" expenses.

"100 million yuan?!" Everyone gasped hearing this. That amount of payment can only be attained if someone is really popular, been in the industry for so many years, and has garnered multiple box office in movies. Drama wise, they should have garnered 100 billion+ views for one series.

The top female celebrities who are present are more than that amount already but this is a separate payment. It is a separate payment from the original talent fee. With this huge amount of compensation, anyone will automatically be commended as a millionaire or soon to be billionaire.

Though they hate and jealous of Mrs. Xing, but they must remove all these enmity since they will be hitting a jackpot!
