Quick Transmigration: The Villain Boss is a Bit Cute - Chapter 111
Chapter 111
“Really?” The girl’s excited voice rang out.
The words “What the hell?” flashed through Lu Yunche’s mind.
He was about to deny it, but when he looked into her bright, star-like eyes, they unexpectedly struck a chord deep in his heart.
Lu Yunche quickly turned his head to calm his rapidly beating heart and responded lightly, “Mm.”
Ding.
The elevator doors opened again.
Lu Yunche strode out of the elevator, and the sound of hurried footsteps followed behind him.
“Boss, where are you going? Let me take you.”
Lu Yunche stopped, and Su Hua immediately halted as well.
Seeing her hopeful eyes, Lu Yunche found that he couldn’t quite bring himself to refuse.
“I’m going to work. It’s not convenient for you to come along.”
“No problem, I can be your assis—”
Before she could finish the word “assistant,” Lu Yunche noticed the girl’s previously radiant face turn pale in an instant.
That delicate look suppressed the unpleasant memories that had surged in his mind.
“I’m heading to Huairou Film and Television Base.”
The girl blinked, looking at him in disbelief, and then quickly broke into a bright smile.
“Got it.”
Lu Yunche pressed his lips together.
For some reason, seeing her radiant smile lightened the gloom that had weighed on him in recent days.
“Host, your acting skills are top-notch,” De’er praised sincerely.
With the host’s current appearance, there is no trace of the host’s violent side anymore.
“Of course, I even won an Oscar before. Too bad I got struck by lightning before I could finish my acceptance speech.”
“…”
The sleek black six-seater SUV moved slowly down the road, with Lu Yunche’s favorite songs playing in the background.
The car was silent.
Su Hua glanced at the rearview mirror.
The young man sat in the back seat with his eyes half-closed, dark circles under his eyes, and a pale complexion, yet his beauty was still breathtaking.
Yes, Lu Yunche wasn’t just handsome—he was beautiful.
Su Hua didn’t say a word either.
Being able to sit quietly with Lu Yunche like this was already a rare achievement; she couldn’t rush things.
An hour and a half later, the car pulled up at Huairou Film and Television Base.
“Boss, which set are you on? I’ll park the car and come find you later.”
“‘Skyhawk Mission.’”
“Got it.”
Su Hua flashed him a sweet smile.
“I’ll find you in a bit.”
Lu Yunche avoided making eye contact and turned his head slightly.
“Mm.”
It took Su Hua five minutes to find a parking spot, and she bought a hot drink before asking a passerby where the “Skyhawk Mission” set was.
When Su Hua arrived, the crew was in the middle of shooting.
Lu Yunche stood off to the side, shivering slightly in the cold wind, dressed in very thin clothes, and no one paid him any attention.
“Why aren’t you sitting somewhere?” Su Hua walked over, placed the hot cocoa in his hands, and asked with concern, “Are you cold?”
Feeling the warmth in his hands, Lu Yunche lowered his head and met her caring gaze.
“I’m fine.”
“When’s your scene?” Su Hua looked at the people shooting ahead.
“I told the assistant director, but I don’t know when my turn will come.”
Su Hua frowned.
“What do you mean you don’t know when your turn is?”
“Cut, great, that’s a wrap!”
Hearing the director’s voice, Su Hua immediately walked over.
“Director, when are you planning to shoot Yunche’s scene?”
“Who are you? And what’s with this ‘Yunche’ stuff? We’ll film him after we finish with the main actors. He can wait.”
Su Hua was about to argue, but Lu Yunche pulled her behind him.
“Director, sorry, she doesn’t know better.”
“Whose person is this? Don’t stir up trouble here. If it happens again, he won’t be filming at all.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Lu Yunche quickly replied.
The people around whispered.
Two years ago, this man had been a top-tier star, but now he had to endure this kind of treatment for a minor role.
Lu Yunche led Su Hua away from the crowd. Su Hua, still angry, said, “They’re blatantly bullying you! Leaving you in the cold like this—why didn’t you let me speak up?”
“And what good would that do?” Lu Yunche smiled bitterly.
“It would only lead to more humiliation or the loss of the job. Nothing else.”
For the past month, with no work coming his way, he had tried leaving the entertainment industry to find other jobs.
But everywhere he went, people recognized him, mocked him, and still didn’t give him any work.
Besides acting, he had no other skills.
Outside of the entertainment industry, he didn’t know where else to go.
“Boss, how about I support you?”
Staring into those sparkling eyes, Lu Yunche couldn’t help but laugh.
“You? A little assistant supporting me?”
“Hmph, you’re underestimating me. I’ve got some serious connections.”
“Really? Then I’ll be relying on you from now on.”
Lu Yunche didn’t take her words seriously, thinking she was just venting her anger on his behalf.
Life was truly ironic.
The person who had once disgusted him the most was now the only one standing by his side when everyone else had abandoned him, offering him a sliver of warmth.
Lu Yunche took a sip of the hot drink; the sweet, milky flavor instantly soothed his senses.
He felt his mood lift considerably.
Few people knew he had a sweet tooth, but she remembered.
This coffee definitely had four spoons of milk and four cubes of sugar.
They waited until the sun had set.
Sitting on the steps together, Lu Yunche had almost fallen asleep.
“Boss, should we go ask about it?”
Lu Yunche checked the time and nodded.
“Okay.”
Just as they stood up, Su Hua lost her balance and stumbled to the side.
Quick on his feet, Lu Yunche caught her.
A faint, clean scent wafted into his nose—no longer the garish perfume from before, but the fresh smell of body wash, like a forest after rain.
“Boss, I’m sorry. My leg went numb. I didn’t mean it,” Su Hua hurriedly explained, afraid he might think she did it on purpose.
When the girl stepped away, taking the scent with her, Lu Yunche felt a fleeting sense of loss.
After a pause, he said lightly, “It’s fine.”
They walked into the building, only to find the crew packing up.
Su Hua rushed over to grab the director.
“Director, we haven’t shot Lu Yunche’s scenes yet!”
“Who cares? We’re done for the day. Come back earlier tomorrow.”
“Are you messing with us? We’ve been waiting all afternoon, and you didn’t even bother to tell us anything! Were you planning to leave without shooting at all if I hadn’t asked?”
The director, feeling humiliated by being yelled at by an assistant, shouted back, “So what if I was? What, you still think you’re a big shot? I told you to wait, so you wait. What, you going to hit me?”
Bang!
“Well, I’ve got a temper too!” Su Hua kicked the director squarely in the stomach, sending him crashing into the equipment with a loud bang.
“You wanted a beating? Wish granted.”
The situation escalated so quickly that by the time the crew rushed to pull Su Hua away, the director’s face was already bruised and swollen.
Trembling, the director pointed at Su Hua.
“Y-y-you, what company are you with? I’m going to sue you!”
“Go ahead, I’ve got plenty of money to cover it.”
