“Xinran, if there was a man offering 10 million to make you leave me, what would you do?” Augus looked at Xinran with a thought-provoking smile.
“It’s Miss Xia, and we’re not that familiar yet!” Xinran replied lightly. “We’re not together to begin with, so how could there be any pressure? 10 million? Given my financial situation, I would naturally agree!”
“Then, what if it’s 10 million to buy you for one night?”
Xinran’s expression changed instantly. She coldly said, “Mr. Mu, I’d like to know what exactly you want to say. Can you be more straightforward?”
“Okay, Summer! I’ll be direct, but you have to promise to seriously consider what I’m saying, as it might bring you the benefits you desire…”
“The benefits I want? Now that sounds interesting!” Xinran smiled charmingly.
“I want you to be my scandalous girlfriend. What do you think?” Augus flashed a charming smile, resting his chin on one hand as he awaited Xinran’s response.
“Are you suggesting that I can interpret this as your way of responding to the Paparazzi about our being photographed together? Didn’t your agent tell you that handling scandals this way is the least advisable?”
If she had a choice, she wouldn’t have picked Augus as the target for creating a scandal. Once involved with him, she would indeed attract more attention, but the pressure from all sides would also be significant. She approached him with a purpose and had already prepared an exit strategy, just waiting for news about her new project.
“I don’t care how many people see this scandal; I only care if one person sees it. And having you continue this act with me is meant for that person’s eyes. So all I want is for you to nod in agreement. Just know that agreeing to this means your status will change from today onwards; you won’t even need to create rumors with me just to get a supporting role in Chen Jianliang’s new project!” Augus slowly tempted Xinran with his deep gaze. He knew she needed such an opportunity for fame and would find it hard to give up this rare chance, so he believed this game was about to begin!
“That person… is a woman?” Xinran was curious to see that even a man like Augus, who seemed like royalty, wanted someone’s attention.
Augus responded with a faint smile and said nothing. Revealing too much before the game even started would make it less interesting!
Xinran knows that everyone has things they don't want to talk about, especially since they are not familiar with each other. He has no reason to tell her, does he? However, what he said truly unsettled her. She wished more than anything to no longer feel this sorrow, to become a popular star. Besides herself, only Jerry knew.
Because luck is not something everyone has, she could only work diligently, hoping that one day fate would favor her. But after five years in the industry, she had seen through it all and only sought to make ends meet. That distant dream felt truly out of reach…
“Being a star is like the stars in the night sky. Do you want to be a shooting star that flashes by or the brightest star that shines forever? It depends on how you choose. Choose correctly, and you will shine forever; choose incorrectly, and you will only flash by!” Augus said thoughtfully while looking out the window.
Following Augus's gaze, Xinran also looked outside and happened to see a shooting star streaking across the sky. He was right; whether she wanted to be a shooting star or the brightest star depended on her choice. She had been a shooting star long enough; wasn't it time for her to become that brightest star?
