Caught in the Bar

“Let's dance!”

In the bar, Shen Yunchu sat in the private booth, swaying passionately without caring about her friend next to her, who was desperately trying to hold her back from rushing onto the dance floor.

For the twentieth time, Qin Yuan grabbed the eager girl who wanted to join the dance floor and perform a spicy dance, forcefully pulling her back onto the couch.

"Shen Yunchu, have you forgotten that you are a public figure?"

Shen Yunchu was a bit drunk.

She had been in the entertainment industry for a year or two, playing minor roles in various film and television productions.

Occasionally, she would make guest appearances on variety shows.

She knew that this industry was complex, but it was interesting.

Her favorite pastime was collecting all kinds of scandals and gossip.

Her computer stored hundreds of gigabytes of scandals of celebrities in the entertainment industry.

Now and then, she would dig them out and continue indulging in details.

It made her days quite exciting.

That day, Shen Yunchu was even happier because she had finally secured the role of the third female lead based on her talent alone.

When Assistant Wang informed her that she had been confirmed for the role in the crew, she almost couldn't resist boasting about it online.

Shen Yunchu was no longer a useless eye candy in the entertainment industry.

From that day onwards, she had a new identity, the third female lead!

Just thinking about it made her excited.

Qin Yuan sighed, "Is it necessary to be so excited about being the third female lead?"

"An ordinary third female lead? It's in 'Cloudy Day', the most invested IP of the year. The male and female leads are both A-list actors. Do you know how hard I worked to get this role?"

Shen Yunchu's excitement was almost like a roar.

Qin Yuan clicked her tongue, "Wait, I'll invest tomorrow and make you the female lead immediately."

Shen Yunchu glanced at her and continued pouring herself a drink. "I've said it before, I want to make it in the entertainment industry on my own, without riding on anyone’s coattails. I have to rely on my abilities."

"Yes, yes, you want to make it on your own. But have you forgotten something, my dear sister? You seem to be married. Aren't you afraid that your cold and distant husband will come looking for you while you're recklessly hanging out in bars?" Qin Yuan said.

Shen Yunchu downed half a glass of alcohol in one gulp, feeling a bit dizzy.

Suddenly, she pushed the somewhat annoying girl next to her aside.

Qin Yuan was puzzled about what Shen Yunchu doing and hadn't reacted yet when she saw the newly crowned third female lead swaying with her glass as she left the private booth.

With just one glance, Qin Yuan understood her intention and hurriedly reminded her, "Yunchu, calm down. You're married now, remember? Have you forgotten that you're married to Gu Jinwei?"

The loud music suddenly drowned out Qin Yuan's shout.

"What did you say? The music is too loud, I can't hear you! There's a handsome guy over there, let's go and flirt with him!"

Shen Yunchu didn't hear what was happening behind her at all.

Laughing cheerfully, Shen Yunchu walked over to the adjacent booth.

She didn't know when a man had appeared there, looking particularly lonely, pouring himself a drink.

The Shen family had been prosperous for several generations, a prominent family of academic in B City, and owned a jewelry brand that could rival a country's wealth.

Starting from the previous generation, the Shen family had only sons, but finally, Shen Yunchu's parents gave birth to a daughter.

It was easy to imagine how much the Shen family doted on her.

As the princess of the Shen Family, even if Shen Yunchu wanted the stars and the moon in the sky, they would pluck them without blinking an eye.

Shen Yunchu was a refined young lady, exuding a fresh and lively aura.

Among the group of young elites in the capital, she naturally held herself in high regard.

Anyone she set her sights on must be exceptionally outstanding.

At this moment, the man sitting across from her in the bar had an aristocratic air that seemed out of place amidst the noisy surroundings.

He stood out like a piece of jade among a pile of glass.

Gu Jinwei seemed to have noticed her presence. He casually raised his gaze and began to eye her up and down.

"Are you alone, Sir?" Shen Yunchu, without any hesitation, sat directly beside him.

Just a moment ago, the distance was far, and she couldn't see the man's features.

She only felt that he had a good temperament, clearly from a wealthy family.

Compared to the group of fools who only knew how to revel in pleasure around them, he was elegant.

Now, nearby, she felt a sense of familiarity.

Could he also be someone from the entertainment industry? But if he was, with his handsome face, how could she only feel a slight sense of familiarity?

"Have we met somewhere before?"

After all, she had participated in dozens of low-budget online dramas as a cannon fodder actress, and was completely adept at using the flirtatious approach normally used by domineering CEOs from those dramas.

Gu Jinwei remained silent as if deliberately teasing her.

This little brat was quite scheming.

"How coincidental. I'm also alone. Shall we have a drink?" Shen Yunchu raised her glass.

Qin Yuan: Am I invisible? Can you at least turn around and look at me when you're spouting nonsense?

Shen Yunchu clinked her glass against his, and fixed her gaze on him while drinking.

Gu Jingwei didn’t join her, instead gently swaying his glass in contemplation. His melancholic demeanor made Shen Yunchu feel somewhat entranced.

Accustomed to the facades of the entertainment industry's elite, she now discerned the genuine nature of this man before her. What was truly refined and what was merely an imitation became crystal clear in an instant.

This was true sophistication, this was genuine charisma. The ability to command attention without uttering a single word!

Shen Yunchu could control the whole room without saying a word!

"Do you know who I am?" Gu Jinwei raised an eyebrow, his gaze provocative.

Shen Yunchu leaned closer, resting her chin on her hand, and smiled brightly.

"I didn't know before, but I do now. You are the one in my heart."

Qin Yuan was shocked to the core. This girl must be drunk; she didn't even remember that she had a husband she hadn't even met!

Shen Yunchu raised an eyebrow. "Interested in having another drink?"

Gu Jinwei gently sets down his wine cup, showing no intention of taking another sip.

He then leaned back, crossing his hands over his abdomen, while his gaze carried a hint of aggression as he lookd at the one in front of him.

Shen Yunchu, on the other hand, enjoyed the kind of atmosphere.

This man was so different! The more she desired him, the more he distanced himself, creating an elusive and captivating allure.

Damn, she was in love!
