The Vicious Female Supporting Character and the White Lotus Female Lead: Ch 167, The Dao Path of Demons
After the recording of [The Path of an Actor], no one knew where he went and could contact him.
Sso Luan Qing Xiao’s four-people group came to Hao Qing's house.
Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er only act intimately when they’re alone and would lay off a bit when there were people around. But Hu Lian and Hao Qing were different. This fox and dragon simply didn’t know how to hold back. However long they were in the car was how long they kissed, making Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er dare not to glance back at all.
Back home, Hao Qing took Hu Lian's hand as she pushed open the door, "This is my home and from now on it will be ours."
Hu Lian replied with a tender smile, "Why don't we give it a name? How does ‘Little Love Nest’ sound?"
Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhener: "... …"
Hao Qing didn't feel this was weird and nodded, "Okay, tomorrow I’ll find someone to make a wooden sign and engrave the words 'Little Love's Nest' on it to hang on the door."
Seeing the two talking with no signs of stopping, Luan Qing Xiao couldn't help but remind, "Sister Qing, let's go in and talk."
Hao Qing nodded but didn’t give Luan Qing Xiao even half of a glance, keeping his eyes on Hu Lian.
She shyly invited, "Hu Lian, you enter first."
Hu Lian stepped into the villa.
Just as one of his feet crossed the threshold, a fist the size of a bowl suddenly came out from the side, carrying a gust of wind towards Hu Lian's face.
Hu Lian used the quick reaction time he gained from dodging Hao Qing and quickly leaned back. His body almost bent back ninety degrees, taking two steps back under, and returned outside the door. Afterwards, Hu Lian steadily straightened his body.
"What's this situation?" Hu Lian asked uncomprehendingly.
How could Hao Qing let Hu Lian be beaten in front of her? She immediately rolled up her sleeves to beat the sneak attacker inside.
Luan Qing Xiao recognized Hao Long's hand and quickly stopped Hao Qing, "Sister Qing, that’ s Hao Long, not a bad person."
Hao Qing's single-family villa garden occupies a vast area, so there wasn’t another villa within nearly 100 meters. Even if there was a lot of commotion here, no one would notice.
When Hao Qing heard that it was Hao Long attacking Hu Lian, she first entered the villa, glaring at Hao Long so that he didn’t dare to act rashly.
"Hao Long, you were too impolite just now." Hao Qing scolded, wishing iron could turn into steel, "You’re already more than a hundred years old, how can you still casually hit people?"
Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er also walked into the villa behind Hao Qing. Hu Lian was the last one to enter.
Luan Qing Xiao felt that Hao Qing forgot her son as soon as she got a man. She quickly stood between the mother and the child pair to mediate the situation, "Sister Qing, Hao Long still doesn't know who Hu Lian is. You should introduce them first."
At this time, Hu Lian walked in front of Hao Long with tears of excitement in his eyes, "Qing Qing, this is our child. I can feel it."
Hao Qing held Hu Lian's hand, "Yes, Hao Long, quickly come and call him Father."
Hao Long: "???"
"I won't! I wouldn't call this little white-faced Father!" Hao Long refused to listen to Hao Qing's words.
Nie Zhener pulled Hao Long down on the sofa, "Hao Long, things aren’t what you think. Let's sit down and talk it out, don't get too agitated."
Hao Qing and Hu Lian sat across from Hao Long hand in hand. When Hao Long saw the little white face in front of him take his mother's hand, he was almost unable to restrain the demon aura on his body.
Hu Lian worriedly advised, "Long Long, calm down. It’s too dangerous to leak your demon aura."
"You’re not qualified to order me!" Hao Long turned his head. If he can’t see him, then he won’t be as annoyed.
In fact, he didn’t object to Hao Qing finding a second spring. He was just angry because she denied the relationship with Hu Lian last time. Yet now she was acting so intimate with Hu Lian. Hao Long felt that it must be Hu Lian who asked Hao Qing to lie to him.
And he hates being deceived by others in his life the most.
Out of safety awareness, Luan Qing Xiao covered the villa with a protective barrier.
Hao Qing explained the ins and outs again, turning Hao Long's angry face dazed.
He never thought the little white face that he hated was really his father.
"Hao Long, Dad has let Qing Qing and you down." Hu Lian said with a guilty expression, "I should have come to you guys sooner."
Hao Qing patted the back of Hu Lian's hand in comfort, "You were injured and had no way. I don't blame you."
Currently, Hao Long‘s mind was in chaos. He stood up with a stiff expression, "I want to stay by myself for a while."
After speaking, he turned upstairs.
Facing Hao Long, Hu Lian filled with guilt for his son. Even though Hao Qing assured him, he still had a melancholy face, appearing extremely fragile and making people want to hold him in their embrace to comfort him.
And Hao Qing indeed did do that.
Luan Qing Xiao spoke up, "... … Sister Qing, since the misunderstanding is resolved, Zhen'er and I’ll be heading back."
Hao Qing said, "Stay for a meal before leaving."
"No need, Director Xu just sent us a script and invited Zhen’er and me to participate in his new movie. We still have to go back to study the script."
Hao Qing and Hu Lian sent off Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er to the door where Luan Qing Xiao retracted the barrier as she left Hao Qing’s villa with Nie Zhen'er.
On the way, Nie Zhen'er lamented, "The love between Hu Lian and Sister Qing is too arduous."
"Yes, for more than a hundred years, neither of them had a good time."
Following Nie Zhen'er, Luan Qing Xiao lamented, "Fortunately, they met again and ended their suffering."
Back at home, the two cuddled on the sofa and read the script together.
Their roles are still a couple.
When done with the script, Luan Qing Xiao asked Nie Zhener: "Are you interested?"
Nie Zhen'er nodded, her eyes gleaming: "Yes."
Nie Zhen'er first called her manager Lu Ren Yuan and told him that she was going to participate in Xu Jia Shu's new movie, making Lu Ren Yuan pleasantly surprised. He patted his chest, "I’ll contact Director Xu right away. Zhen’er, you’re amazing!"
Luan Qing Xiao herself also replied to Xu Jia Shu.
Xu Jia Shu responded, "Just wait for the prize."
He hasn't been this confident for eight years. Through [The Path of an Actor], he has washed away the label of "an exhausted talent" from himself. This time he was going to shock everyone with a blockbuster.
Although Xu Jia Shu’s new movie’s male and female lead have been set, the other supporting roles still need to be auditioned and selected.
Learning that Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er were free in the upcoming days, Xu Jia Shu asked them to be at the audition site to help with the choosing.
Therefore, during the audition for the second male lead, the two met the hell-bent Fu Xing Hua again.
In [The Path of an Actor], Fu Xing Hua failed to approach Nie Zhen'er. Not only that, but Nie Zhen'er's favorability value continued to drop until a negative number and continued to drop. Over the past few days, the favorability value has dropped to negative 20. Fu Xing Hua was anxious, but didn't have the slightest way to change it.
Courting Nie Zhen’er through his own method didn’t work.
Courting Nie Zhen’er based on other people's experience still didn’t work.
Fu Xing Hua already was out of ideas of what he should do.
However, there is one thing he can’t give up, that is to find a way to get closer to Nie Zhen'er.
Maybe Nie Zhen'er has some misunderstandings about him. If he let this go on, Nie Zhen'er's favorability will only become lower. Then wouldn’t he not have the opportunity to complete the mission for a lifetime?
Thus after learning Nie Zhener was participating in Xu Jia Shu's new movie, Fu Xing Hua immediately came to audition for the second male lead.
As a result, Fu Xing Hua actually saw Luan Qing Xiao at the scene.
Before, he only paid attention to Nie Zhen'er and didn't pay attention to who the male lead was. Now that he knew, after thinking carefully, Fu Xing Hua felt he had overlooked something.
When he and Nie Zhen'er met for the first time in 《Tao Zhi Yao Yao》, Luan Qing Xiao was also there.
When he and Nie Zhener met for the second time in [The Path of an Actor], Luan Qing Xiao was also there.
When he and Nie Zhen'er met for the third time at audition of Xu Jia Shu's new movie, Luan Qing Xiao was still there!
