After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 170 - 168: Mr. Pei, I’m Begging You...

Qin Yun thought for a moment about the image of the female lead acting coy in the drama, then immediately shook her body. No, she can’t do it!

She plopped down on the chair and looked at Pei Yan, asking, "I can’t act coy! Just tell me, what will it take for you to agree to take me?"

"I remember in ’Mystery Shadow’, there’s a scene where Li Beauty acts coy. If you can’t do it, how will you perform then?" Pei Yan placed his right hand on the table, thoughtfully tapping his finger on the surface.

Qin Yun recalled for a moment; it seemed there was such a scene.

But letting her act coy with Pei Yan, Qin Yun felt completely uncomfortable. If it were a fight with Pei Yan, she was good at that.

Acting coy with Pei Yan...

It’s so difficult...

"How about I don’t look at you, give you some time to prepare?" Pei Yan asked with a smile in his eyes.

"No negotiation?" Qin Yun asked.

Pei Yan nodded.

Well, if you’re going to face it, might as well face it sooner rather than later.

Qin Yun took a deep breath, thinking about the first step to acting coy from television.

She stood next to Pei Yan, extended the index and thumb of her right hand, pinched Pei Yan’s sleeve, shook it, and in a squeaky voice said, "Mr. Pei... please... take me there."

After saying that, Qin Yun almost made herself sick.

Pei Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with an unclear expression, "Don’t pinch your voice, use your normal voice."

Once you’ve done it the first time, the second time is easier.

She exhaled and decided to try again.

Qin Yun adjusted her stance, moved a bit closer to Pei Yan, and while shaking Pei Yan’s sleeve, she also moved slightly, looked at him pitifully, and said, "Mr. Pei, please..."

Before Qin Yun could finish, Pei Yan’s whole body tensed up, and at an astonishing speed, he lowered his gaze so Qin Yun couldn’t see what flashed in his eyes.

He stood up straight, his voice hoarse, and threw out two words, "Follow me."

Qin Yun watched Pei Yan’s departing figure with a face full of confusion. What’s wrong with this guy?!!

He was the one who suggested she act coy!

And he was also the one who left before she finished!

So, Pei Yan was just teasing her, right?

Seeing Pei Yan almost at the door, Qin Yun could only follow with irritation, afraid Pei Yan might come up with something else later on.

When Qin Yun reached the door, she remembered she hadn’t brought her ID card, so she ran back to get it. As she came out again, Pei Yan’s Maybach just happened to drive up and stop steadily in front of her. Qin Yun didn’t hesitate, opened the car door, intending to sit in the back.

Then she heard Pei Yan say from the front, "I’m not a chauffeur."

Qin Yun silently closed the car door and sat in the front passenger seat.

All the way to the company building, except for discussing the address, they hadn’t exchanged a word, which made Qin Yun feel very strange.

Could it be that her attempt at acting coy was really that hard to accept?

Qin Yun frequently glanced at Pei Yan, wanted to speak but stopped herself.

"What’s up?" Pei Yan asked.

"Nothing, I’ll head up first." Qin Yun shook her head, touched the ID card in her bag, opened the car door, and got out.

After Qin Yun left, Pei Yan finally relaxed his stiff body a bit, changed his posture, and the scent of Qin Yun filled the car, making him agitated, so he undid the top two buttons of his shirt, clenched his jaw, and tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel, his eyes dark and deep.

Qin Yun took the elevator to the seventh floor, and as soon as she got off, she saw the screenwriter who really liked her playing Li Beauty before, discussing something with the director.

Hearing the elevator, both looked over simultaneously.

"You’re here?" The screenwriter called out with a smile.

"We’re just discussing the plot for Li Beauty. You came at the right time." Director Chen Lan waved at her directly.

"Director Chen, Screenwriter Xie," Qin Yun smiled.

"We want to add a bed scene for you, are you okay with that?" Screenwriter Xie’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Qin Yun.

Qin Yun frowned, "Bed scene? The very revealing kind?"

"Just slightly revealing," Director Chen explained, "half-exposed, half-hidden. You won’t have to undress fully, just some close-ups."

"Sorry," Qin Yun declined flatly, saying, "If you won’t sign me because of this, it’s okay."

"No worries, no worries. We just happened to talk about it and thought adding a scene would be more suitable." Director Chen waved his hand, feeling a bit regretful but not overly emotional.

"You first come in and sign the contract. By the way, the shooting starts in three days, you’re okay with that? This role is the final decision so the schedule is tight," Director Chen said as he walked.

"Oh, you’re still recording the variety show," Director Chen remembered suddenly, suggesting, "How about you shoot later, after finishing the show."

"Don’t panic, your scenes aren’t particularly heavy, you can shoot later as well," Screenwriter Xie reassured.

"Yes, the third female lead appears later anyway, we’ll shoot the main leads’ scenes first. You can join next month," Director Chen said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you." Qin Yun felt relieved hearing this.

She was slightly panicked hearing the director say shooting starts in three days, as this would overlap her schedule, but luckily the director said she’d join next month. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Today’s emotions have been quite thrilling, fluctuating up and down.

The three entered the office, Director Chen took a folder from the drawer, pulled out two contracts, and handed them to Qin Yun, saying, "Have a look before signing."

Qin Yun picked it up and quickly scanned through, paused when she saw the price, and said, "Is the price per episode too high? Twenty-two thousand per episode, that’s enough for a second-tier actress."

"We’ve been searching for someone for Li Beauty’s role for a long time without finding someone suitable. We actually wanted to sign you on the first day; your performance was excellent, very fitting for the role, and coupled with your current buzz, it’s worth the price," Screenwriter Xie said earnestly.

This role is one she really liked, bold and fierce, beautiful and cool. The day of the audition, she immediately saw Qin Yun as a perfect fit, the sense of alignment making her get goosebumps all over.

She even declared that if not Qin Yun playing Li Beauty, the character wouldn’t need to exist.

But Qin Yun doesn’t need to know any of this.

"Don’t worry, sign it. Since we dare to offer, we’ve certainly considered it from all angles. Give me the ID card so I can have it copied." Director Chen gave Screenwriter Xie a sidelong glance; it was her insistence during the audition arguing for it that secured this price.

Initially, they considered Qin Yun’s negative reputation, but after watching the variety show, they changed their perception, resulting in this price — all in all, it’s Qin Yun proving herself.

Qin Yun was speechless, nodded, handed her ID card to the director, picked up the pen, and with a bold flourish, signed her name.
