Mrs. Huo is a Crybaby

"Quick, quick, quick! Come out and take a look!"

Tang Xinrou rubbed her hands in anticipation.

Song Yaoyao narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. She pushed up her spectacles that didn't exist on the bridge of her nose and pretended to be serious.

The two of them stared at the change room.

Click—

The door opened slightly, but no one walked out.

"Do I really have to come out? It's too strange for me to be like this. What are you guys trying to do?" Xu Yue's confused voice came from the change room.

"Aiya, why don't you come out and find out!"

Tang Xinrou couldn't wait any longer. She strode over and pushed the door open, forcefully pulling Xu Yue out.

It was bright outside, and the cold white light fell on Xu Yue's body. Tang Xinrou couldn't help but curse.

A strange look flashed across Song Yaoyao's, and her eyes were shockingly bright.

Xu Yue, who was standing in front of the mirror, was dressed in red. Because she was taller than many girls, the costume didn't fit her well. She was barefooted and her snow-white ankles were exposed under her skirt. Her skin was cold and white, and she looked extremely charming under the contrast of the red dress.

She originally had short hair and it had grown a little longer recently, but it was only up to her shoulders.

As her clothes were slightly messy, she tugged at her loose red dress and looked at Song Yaoyao helplessly. "Yaoyao, are you guys hiding something from me?" She raised her phoenix-shaped eyes. Perhaps it was because of the clothes that she was wearing, her strong aura had been softened, and she looked stunning.

Tang Xinrou clutched her heart. "F*ck! Xu Yue, you're actually so good-looking?"

Xu Yue frowned. "What?"

Song Yaoyao grabbed Xu Yue's hand and raised her head. Her glowing eyes made Xu Yue a little afraid.

"Xu Yue! I sincerely invite you to be the female lead of my new movie!"

Xu Yue suspected that she was hallucinating. "What? Are you guys mistaken? I'm a manager!" She looked at Song Yaoyao with anger and amusement. "Have your standards dropped so much?"

She didn't know how to act at all. If she really did act, wouldn't it ruin Song Yaoyao's hard-earned reputation?

"No, no, no, I think you're the most suitable. Other than you, everyone else is just passable."

Xu Yue: "..." She turned her head dangerously and looked at Tang Xinrou.

Tang Xinrou immediately waved her hand. "It's none of my business! I didn't do anything!"

After saying this, she immediately ran away.

Xu Yue shook her head. "No, you'd better keep looking. There's bound to be someone more suitable than me. How could I do it? Don't make things difficult for me." As she said this, she tried to return to the change room to change her clothes.

Seeing that she was unwilling to agree, Song Yaoyao gritted her teeth and suddenly grabbed Xu Yue's hand, asking her to turn around.

When Xu Yue turned around...

The girl's hands were clenched into fists as she pressed them against her chin, her dark almond-shaped eyes looking at her pitifully, flickering as if tears were about to fall any second.

"Yueyue, I beg you, just try it."

These words pierced into Xu Yue's heart and she coughed dryly. "Don't be like this..."

Song Yaoyao pressed her palms together and her voice became softer and softer. "Huhu, Yueyue, please, please, please! This project has dragged on for so long. If I don't find an actress, my money will be burnt to the ground!"

Xu Yue: "..."

"I beg of you..."

Xu Yue was flustered by her cuteness and nodded. "Then... Alright..."

"Yay!"

Song Yaoyao clenched her left hand into a fist and struck her right hand quickly. "It's done!"

She turned around and shouted in a hurry, "Huo Jiu! Get the costume team manager over here! Her costume needs to be changed!"

"Sigh..."

Xu Yue watched helplessly as Song Yaoyao's cute expression disappeared and she turned around to leave.

She tugged at her red dress and was dumbfounded.

Her expression had changed so quickly. Even if she was lying to her, could she at least be a little more sincere?

In the midst of her silence, a figure wearing a black suit suddenly walked in.

The man was wearing glasses and his face was handsome and refined. He had a gentle and refined appearance.

Only Xu Yue knew how terrifying the other side of this man was.

She pursed her lips and her expression turned cold in an instant. She turned around and walked towards the change room.

However, she wasn't used to wearing such clothes. For the sake of beauty, the stylist had made a long tail behind her. Xu Yue suddenly turned around and her ankles were entangled by the long tail. She fell down uncontrollably.

"Oh."

In that instant, Xu Yue only had time to close her eyes.

One second, two seconds, three seconds..

The pain that she imagined didn't come. Instead, her back was pressed against a hard chest.

A warm breath sprayed against her ear. It was clear how close the person behind her was.

"Miss Xu, it's better to be careful."

Slap!

Xu Yue did not know what she was thinking at that moment. The moment she stood still, she turned around and slapped him.

After a crisp sound, the small space fell into a dead silence.

Huo Jiu's face was slapped so hard that it was tilted to the side. Five finger marks were particularly clear.

Xu Yue tightened her grip on the hem of her dress.

Huo Jiu adjusted his glasses and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips.

Behind the glasses, his eyes were dark and deep. Xu Yue's throat was dry and she retreated uncontrollably.

Suddenly, her arm was grabbed.

Huo Jiu smiled. "Who knew Miss Xu had such arm strength?" He quickly helped Xu Yue up and let go. "Be careful. You won't be caught every time you fall."

Xu Yue's face was dark and she didn't say a word.

Suddenly, Huo Jiu's finger brushed across her cheek and finally landed on her shoulder. He pulled up the collar that had fallen off.

"You're too skinny."

He left a sentence with an unknown meaning and turned around to leave. "The designer will come over later to take your measurements. Miss Xu, please come out after you've changed."

The door outside was closed. At the same time, it isolated the outside world.

Xu Yue's face did not look pleased. The warmth of Huo Jiu's fingers seemed to linger on her face.

She stood there in silence for a few minutes before she managed to squeeze out one word from between her teeth. "F*ck..."

Did he think that by doing this, everything in he past would be forgotten?ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

No matter how well-dressed he was, no matter how amiable he looked to the outside world, in Xu Yue's eyes, he was always the worst.

...

Outside, Tang Xinrou was holding a glass of water and drinking it. She didn't notice anything when she saw Huo Jiu come out. She only reacted after he walked over.

"Wait..."

She put down the glass and walked to Huo Jiu. "Your face..."

Tang Xinrou raised her hand and gestured. "Did you molest Xu Yue in the change room?" She leaned closer to Huo Jiu and asked in a low voice, "Did she hit you?"

Huo Jiu spread his hands innocently, a faint smile on his lips.

"It was Miss Xu who hit me, but I didn't molest her. I just saw her fall and helped her out of kindness."

Bang!

Just as his voice fell, the fitting room door was slammed heavily.

Xu Yue changed her clothes and walked over coldly.
