Quick Transmigration: The Villain Boss is a Bit Cute - Chapter 116
Chapter 116
Lu Yunche drew a number card and stood in the corner with Su Hua, whispering, “Gu Hua, we’re really lucky. I didn’t expect Director Li to be so reasonable.”
“Mhm.”
Of course, he’s reasonable—she’s the CEO of Xingquan.
He follows her lead.
After the incident with Liu Yiyan, no one dared to speak further, but their gazes toward Lu Yunche became more complicated.
This guy… he might make a comeback.
After all, he’s not just good-looking—he can act.
As long as a company is willing to promote him, he could definitely rise again.
The question is, does he have a strong enough backing to challenge Leng’s group?
Lu Yunche’s number was somewhere in the middle. Su chatted with him for a while, and soon it was his turn.
About ten minutes later, Lu Yunche came out again.
Su Hua approached and asked, “How did it go?”
Why does he look unhappy? That shouldn’t be the case—he was supposed to get selected.
“I got it, I got it,” Lu Yunche said excitedly, pulling Su Hua into a hug, mumbling, “I got it…”
This feeling—he was even happier than when he got cast in his first role.
Su Hua hugged him back and smiled, “I knew you’d make it.”
When Lu Yunche came back to his senses, he let go of her a bit awkwardly, and neither of them said anything.
Though they’d only been together for a few days, his life had completely transformed.
“You go home and start cooking. I have to meet with my agent.”
“Where are you going? I’ll drive you,” Su Hua offered.
Lu Yunche glanced at her and, after a moment, nodded.
“Alright, I’ll check.”
An hour later…
A black SUV stopped in front of a cafe.
Lu Yunche skillfully disguised himself, making sure he wouldn’t be recognized before getting out of the car.
“I’ll wait for you here,” Su Hua called after him.
Lu Yunche nodded, “Okay, I won’t be long.”
Inside the cafe, he found his agent sitting in a quiet corner.
“Sister Bo.”
Sister Bo looked at the young man approaching her, a flicker of pity crossing her eyes.
“You’re here. I ordered you a black coffee.”
Lu Yunche sat down, took a sip, and set it aside.
Even his agent didn’t know he preferred sweet things.
“Sister Bo, I landed the role of the third male lead in The Immortal Sword Fate. The company should have received the contract, right?”
Sister Bo took a sip of her coffee and said, “That’s actually what I wanted to talk to you about today.”
“Is there a problem?”
“The company has issued a ban on you, so you can’t take this role.”
Although shocked, Lu Yunche remained calm.
“Why?”
“Actually, the company blacklisted you a while ago. Otherwise, with all the scandals you’ve faced over the past two years, they could’ve cleared things up. It’s not that they didn’t have the power to—it’s that someone higher up was putting pressure on them… Do you understand?”
Sister Bo was helpless too.
Lu Yunche had been the most promising talent she’d ever managed in her career.
But in this industry, without connections, even the best talent becomes worthless.
“I’ll take the role on my own, then.”
“If the contract doesn’t have the company’s seal, it won’t be valid.” Sister Bo shook her head.
“The contract you signed was for ten years, and it has very strict terms.”
Ten years.
It had only been six so far.
Who would remember Lu Yunche after another four?
“I’m sorry, Yunche. Starting today, I can’t manage you anymore either. The company has reassigned me.”
Lu Yunche, feeling a wave of despair, asked quietly, “Who’s behind this?”
“The Leng Group.”
Lu Yunche let out a cold laugh.
“When did I get entangled with such a giant company?”
“I don’t know. I heard it was Leng Yao’s direct order, so there’s no room for negotiation. Unless a bigger company or a company of equal standing is willing to go against Leng for your sake.”
Sister Bo’s meaning was clear.
“Yunche, take care of yourself from now on. If things don’t work out, maybe you can—”
“Thank you, Sister Bo.”
Lu Yunche stood up and gave her a slight bow.
“I’ll be leaving now.”
With that, he turned and walked away.
“Yunche.”
Sister Bo quickly followed him, worried he might do something rash.
Only when she saw, through the cafe’s window, a bright young woman pulling him into a car did she finally relax.
But then she froze.
“Isn’t that Gu Hua?” The obsessive fan that Lu Yunche had kicked out before.
How did they end up together?
Sister Bo shook her head and decided not to think too much about it.
In the car, Su Hua smiled, “Let’s go to the supermarket later and buy some hairy crabs. Even though it’s a little late in the season, they’re still really good right now. And we’ll need some medicine too. You’ll be doing wire work for the xianxia show, so—”
“Enough.”
“What’s wrong, boss?” Su Hua quickly pulled over to the side of the road.
Lu Yunche looked up, full of self-reproach.
“I can’t act anymore.”
“Why?”
“The company’s dropped me. The contract I signed is for ten years, and now the Leng Group is suppressing me.”
He glared at her with frustration.
“I’m finished. Do you understand? There’s no way I can come back.”
“So?”
“So, you don’t need to stick around anymore. I’m never going to be that bright, dazzling star you admired again.”
Bang!
The sound of the car door slamming shut.
Lu Yunche lowered his head.
It’s better this way, he thought.
But his heart ached.
The car door opened again, and Su Hua got into the back seat. Lu Yunche stared at her, confused.
“You—”
“Listen.”
Su Hua’s expression was serious, her presence commanding.
“Lu Yunche, I, Gu Hua, have never liked you because you’re a star or for any superficial reason. I just like you for who you are!
Whether or not you’re famous, whether or not you shine for others, in my eyes, you’ve always been the brightest. That’s enough for me.”
“Gu…” Lu Yunche had never seen this side of her before.
Two years ago, she had been obsessed, almost crazy.
Now, she was considerate, gentle, mischievous, and fiercely protective when he was wronged—but never this strong, this resolute.
Before he knew it, she was pulling him into a kiss.
The lingering bitterness of the black coffee he had drunk mingled with his breath, and he smelled faintly of his own familiar scent.
Su Hua was momentarily stunned by the sudden kiss.
Her hands rested on his chest, feeling the rise and fall of his breathing and the steady beat of his heart.
Lu Yunche wasn’t very skilled at kissing—it was clumsy and rough.
Only when Su Hua was nearly breathless did he finally let her go.
Her face flushed from lack of oxygen, her eyes misty, and her lips slightly swollen.
His heart skipped a beat, and a certain part of him stirred in response.
He said, “Gu Hua, you came to me first. I won’t ever let you go now.”
She replied, “Mhm, and I won’t let you go either.”
They exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with affection for each other.
Su Hua wrapped her arms around his slim waist, her hands roaming over his chest.
“Boss, does this mean I’ve finally claimed you?”
