WNSYM Chapter 30.1




Chapter 30.1 - This is too damn cruel




When Mu Cheng and Tang Xiao appeared on the stage, the people underneath immediately became unsettled.


Or more accurately, when they saw Mu Cheng.


They sang Spirit Road’s theme song, Mu Cheng’s voice was low and husky which was very appropriate for this song.


The lights were dimmed, leaving only a spotlight for the two people.


When Mu Cheng was on the stage, his bones seemed to give off a refined and scholarly air.


Tang Xiao sang the female parts and she was really familiar with the theme song.


But this was the first time singing a duet with Mu Cheng.


She was too anxious so her voice subconsciously grew lighter.


She could slightly hear Mu Cheng’s voice lightly humming.


She carelessly turned around and found that Mu Cheng had already turned to face her and all of his attention on her.


From his clear black and white eyes, she could see her own reflection.


After they came down from the stage, they were met with a round of applause.


Scared that they’d give rise to unwanted annoyances, they both carelessly went to eat a bit and then left.


“Tang Xiao.” Mu Cheng called out to the Tang Xiao in front of her door.


“Help me tell little Tang poem, don’t forget about tomorrow night’s couples’ battle.”


After Mu Cheng finished speaking, Tang Xiao panicked and ran.


When she was lying on her bed, she started to reflect on her actions.


From the moment that Mu Cheng personally introduced himself as Su Muzhe, she knew that her jig was up.


Before, she said that she got on Mu Cheng’s bed, received Mu Cheng’s dumplings.


At that time, he probably knew who she was.


And she even said to his face that she’d sleep him .


Too! Damn! Embarrassing!


Right now, isn’t he just waiting for her to confess!!!


Too cruel.


It’s like if you want to eat a chicken, you even dared to request that it plucked its own feathers, add seasoning to itself and then lie down on the pot.


Even chickens have self respect okay!!


How could you do that to it!!!


Where’s your conscience!


Tang Xiao struggled for a night, from the beginning, considering deleting her account and just being done with everything to the end, just deciding to jump off a building.


Finally, she fell asleep.


Compared to her, Mu Cheng slept very well.


On the second day, they were supposed to chat well but Chief Ning sent down a death order for her to return that afternoon so the four people left early in the morning.


From the time that Tang Xiao decided to start working again, Chief Ning personally organised programs for her to participate in.


In the afternoon, Chief Ning sat with a darkened face in the living room.


Tang Xiao and Xiao Lin put down their luggage, terrified and fearful as they tiptoed in.


They both had bootlicking faces on, “Chief Ning, ah! It’s been hard on you.”
Their paws tried to massage his shoulders.


Chief Ning coldly snorted, “Xiao Lin, go rest. Yesterday was hard on you. This afternoon, I’ll take Tang Xiao, you first go sleep on her bed.”

Xiao Lin nodded and very honestly, went to the room.


The living room was then left with the two of them.


Chief Ning pushed Tang Xiao to the other sofa.


“Sit down well, I have serious business to discuss with you.”

Tang Xiao sat down obediently. “You have to first agree to not be mean to me.”


“When the day comes that you don’t provoke matters for me to deal with me, that’s the day I’ll stop. In the afternoon, I’ll take you to visit a director. The second female lead’s role has been temporarily booked.”

Tang Xiao looked at the drama’s script book.


《The black and white thread between life and death 》


She felt like she’d seen it before somewhere.


“Su Bai is the female lead and previously, I gave Mu Cheng a copy too. Yesterday, he called and said that he’d be the male lead. To be honest, I don’t approve of you taking this drama. But this is the last drama that Qiao Yijing will do this year and it’s easy for you to get an award if you act in his dramas.” Chief Ning had a headache.


Originally, if it was just Tang Xiao making a mess, he’d just let her.


After all, it takes two to tango.


But who knew that now, Mu Cheng actually revealed that he had an interest in her.


Before, Mu Cheng’s apartment was always empty.


So Chief Ning was very assured putting Tang Xiao next to Mu Cheng’s rooms.


Who knew that in two months, Mu Cheng would suddenly want to move back in.


With anything that related to Tang Xiao, Mu Cheng would take the initiative.


“Don’t be scared, I probably won’t get into any scandals with Mu Cheng, only a potential murder case. He can probably have a long talk with you, 101 ways on how to kill me.”


Once the wedding affair was mentioned, her heart started to hurt, so much that she found it hard to breathe.


Chief Ning stared at her face and looked at her carefully.


When he didn’t see anything abnormal, let out a relieved breath. “This afternoon, I’ll take you to see Jiao Yiqing.”

He found a phrase to describe it, “It’ll be very stimulating.”


Tang Xiao: …..


Tang Xiao then took the time to look at the script book.


The story was simple.


The male lead was an undercover agent to bust a mafia drug ring and levelled up as he beat monsters.


In the end, after a hard journey, would infiltrate the gang.


But the hidden love line is that the male lead has a beautiful police girlfriend outside, but would also meet the mafia boss’ daughter who would be the most pure and clean girl ever.


Su Bai was the police girlfriend, her role would be solid and rich which would be a test to her acting skills.


Whereas Tang Xiao’s role would be the final mafia boss’ daughter.


In two hours, Tang Xiao read most of the script and along with the next door neighbour Mu Cheng, the three people went to the agreed place.


Tang Xiao hadn’t been inside Wanyu Media’s large doors for a long time.


When she went to Chief Ning’s office, Qiao Yijing and Su Bai had already arrived.

  1. With her IQ, how did she figure out her gig was up? Even if she did, I’d have thought she would strongly deny it to herself to preserve her sanity. Poor Chief Ning.

    It’s too bad her identity was not revealed to the rest. Because that would make for the second interesting conversation. (First would be with Mu Cheng)

    “And she even said to his face that she’d sleep with*(missing word) him.”

    1. Oh wait, that was sort of obvious. Looks like my IQ is lower than her’s. My turn to go hug the toilet.

    2. It wouldn't really be interesting if her identity was revealed to the others. Tang Xiao isn't really famous and the most they'd do is be slightly shocked that such a pretty girl is like a brute online.

      There's a funny scene later when her gender gets revealed to someone outside of the two guilds 💕💕

    3. Ah. So now we’ve got to wait for her to conquer the movie business. Their filming scenes together are going to be great!

    4. That's a bit ambitious for TX, she starts off with a rocky start 😱😩

    5. Ah. The bucket of water. But then again, watching her suffer is what makes this all the more entertaining.

    6. TX doesn't suffer, she takes it in her stride 😤😤

  4. Oh my, wonder what Pink, pink, pink from ch.40 and 41 means? Is it when they start their relationship? I only mtl one chapter,55. or somethig,a while ago, to see where will be in the story by then. It made me even more resolute to wait for your translation, because I don't want to miss all the subtle(or not so subtle)humor.
    Thank you! ⊂◉‿◉つ

    1. Not too sure why it's called that either. TX's filming in those two chapters and we get some of Xiao Lin and Chief Ning's backstory. Everyone knows Su Muzhe and Tang poem are together and they get teased a bit but TX is the queen of shamelessness so she always comes out on top 😘💖

  5. Though I am looking forward to how she would do in the drama, I'm worried that another embarrassing thing would happen during the filming hahaha Tang Xiao's reaction is always interesting when that kind of situations happen XD
    Thanks for the chapter~

    2. Male or female?? A rival love interest would be interesting!

      Delete
    3. Su Bai is TX's love rival for Mu Cheng. Alas, this new person makes life hard for TX in another way 😩
