Chapter 25
That night, as usual, Shen Tang brought her sister to play games. Because her operation was too fierce, she received a bunch of compliments. If Shen Tang had a tail, it would probably be held high.
Just as she was about to start another game, there was suddenly a knock at the door.
Shen Tang opened the door and saw Gu Huaian wrapped in a bath towel. There was even some unwashed shower gel in his hair. Water drops slid down his chest along his body. Unfortunately, the scenery below was tightly covered by the robe.
[So sexy, not afraid of death!]
[Why come over so late at night? Seducing me?]
[Heh, men, I'm destined to be the woman you can't get!]
Hearing the heartfelt words, Gu Huaian: "..."
Was Shen Tang possessed by some dirty stuff?
He explained, "Sorry, I can't take a bath downstairs. Can I borrow your bathroom?"
I didn't expect the plot in the novel to be staged in real life.
"Oh, come on in," Shen Tang didn't think too much and let him in. After all, he had no reason to lie to her.
Besides, it wasn't the first time the two of them were in a room together.
However, she was a little puzzled. Aren't there only two bathrooms in the villa? That can't be...
The sound of trickling water came from the bathroom.
Shen Tang was inevitably a little distracted and made several mistakes in a row while playing games.
The sweet little kitten couldn't help but ask, "Sister Monkey, are you not feeling well?"
Shen Tang came back to her senses and scolded herself for being so lustful. Men only affect the winning rate of playing games!
She turned on the mic and replied, "It's okay, I was just a little distracted. I'll play well next."
Since the two had become acquainted, Shen Tang had also started using the mic when playing games.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that the meowing voice was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember it.
Miao Miao said the same.
They attributed this to girls' voices being very similar in general.
The serious Shen Tang was invincible. She quickly turned the game around.
After returning to the team room, Miao Miao quietly asked, "Sister Monkey, was someone taking a bath in your room just now?"
Before Shen Tang could reply, the bathroom door opened and Gu Huaian walked out rubbing his hair.
"Thanks, I'm done with my bath."
Miao Miao gasped briefly on the other end.
After seeing Gu Huaian off, Shen Tang asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, that male voice just now sounded a little familiar."
Miao Miao thought about it. Nice voices were mostly similar. It probably wasn't who she thought it was.
The two played a few more rounds before Shen Tang finally rested.
She dreamed all night about Gu Huaian taking a shower. His upper body was bare, revealing exquisite pectorals and abdominals. Her gaze gradually lowered, just about to see something sensational, when she suddenly woke up.
Shen Tang: "..." She slammed her pillow in frustration!
"Ahhh! Damn it!"
So close, just a little bit more and she would have seen it!
The day of the audition came very quickly.
Shen Tang arrived at the company building early. Quite a few actors had already arrived.
Seeing Shen Tang, their expressions were somewhat surprised.
Shen Tang took a number plate and sat in a corner to continue reading the script.
This audition opportunity was very important to her. She could not make mistakes.
Unfortunately, though she didn't want to cause trouble, trouble came looking for her.
"Oh, isn't this the fraudster? Why aren't you out committing fraud? Instead you came to audition?"
Shen Tang looked up and stared at the woman in front of her, "Sorry, you are...?"
The woman was about to explode with anger. "Shen Tang, are you pretending? Your team pulled down my looks before, and caused trouble with my CP. Now you say you don't know who I am?"
Shen Tang thought hard but still couldn't remember who she was.
She sincerely said, "Sorry, there are too many people I've badmouthed and caused trouble with, I really can't remember who you are."
Sincerity was the killer move. As soon as Shen Tang said this, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The woman also didn't expect Shen Tang to answer like this. After half a day of silence she said, "... "
The people eavesdropping racked their brains to recall all the sad things in their lives, just to avoid laughing out loud.
"Humph. Whether you remember me or not, let me tell you, you won't get this role!" The woman was furious and left after throwing down vicious words.
Shen Tang shrugged, noncommittal.
She was still quite confident in her acting skills. Ten years of constant polish, she only lacked an opportunity.
Whispers came from the surroundings. Shen Tang ignored them and immersed herself in her own thoughts.
Soon, the audition began. Everyone entered the room one by one according to their number plates.
The expression on each person who came out did not look very good, which in turn made the remaining people either extremely confident or extremely nervous.
Shen Tang took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
It was the turn of the woman who picked a fight earlier. In less than a few minutes she walked out arrogantly. It looked like she had succeeded.
She walked to Shen Tang, flipped her hair and said, "I advise you not to waste your energy. You won't get this role."
Shen Tang closed her script. "Oh," she uttered.
"Humph! You'll be crying later!"
After the woman left, gazes occasionally glanced over. Shen Tang remained extremely calm.
Soon it was Shen Tang's turn.
Shen Tang took a deep breath and entered the room.
"Hello everyone, I'm Shen Tang. The role I'm auditioning for today is the second female lead Taochi."
As her voice fell, the room suddenly became quiet. Shen Tang was also extremely nervous in her heart.
There were five people sitting in the middle of the room. She didn't know which one was Yingying's cousin. Although Yingying said he didn't care about anything else, only acting skills mattered, she didn't know what the other four people thought.
They looked at each other, and finally the long-haired man sitting in the middle spoke up, "Please perform the scene where Taochi finds out that Prince Jin helped her father destroy evidence."
"Okay."
Shen Tang closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her expression and posture instantly changed, as if she had really become Taochi.
The perfunctory expressions on the faces of the few people instantly became serious.
After a while, Shen Tang bowed, "My performance is over, thank you everyone."
They looked at each other again and recorded something in their notebooks. The man in the middle spoke again, "Go back and wait for the notice."
Shen Tang bowed again and exited the room.
As soon as she opened the door, everyone looked up at her at once, carefully scrutinizing her expression.
Shen Tang calmly left. On the elevator, she suddenly received a call from Wang Brother.
She held the phone far away when she answered.
"Shen Tang! You got an audition opportunity and didn't tell the company? You're getting more and more willful!"
"If others hadn't told me, I wouldn't even know!"
"Shen Tang, come to the company right now!"
"Are you still listening to what I say or not?"
Shen Tang calmly replied, "Oh, bad signal. What did you say Wang Brother? Hello? Hello? "
After saying that, she immediately hung up.
Hilarious. She was definitely not going to the company. There must be nothing good going on. They might even make her give up the audition opportunity.
She had zero faith in Wang Brother's good intentions.
Luckily she had already auditioned and left her own phone number.
Otherwise, who knows how much trouble would have occurred.
Arriving at Luo Chen's place, the two began discussing the details of the variety show.
Shen Tang had a lifetime of experience and put forward many suggestions. Luo Chen adopted almost all of them.
The only thing that hadn't been decided was the guest list.
Shen Tang recommended the female lead. Luo Chen didn't know the female lead at this time. But the romance reality show she was in was very popular, which made Luo Chen very doubtful.
"She probably won't come back..."
There was no denying it, the female lead was the female lead. Her looks were top notch.
Shen Tang had read the novel. The female lead also had quite good character, except for being somewhat indecisive in emotional matters.
"We can try. I think she will participate."
As for the other guests, if no one came, Shen Tang could only go on herself. After all, comfort was valuable, and money was even higher.
After handing over everything to Luo Chen, Shen Tang took a detour home.
When she got home, Gu Huaian was sitting on the sofa processing documents.
He wore wire-rimmed glasses, his long eyelashes were like black feathers that complemented his completely buttoned up shirt. He looked exactly like an ascetic beauty.
Seeing such a beautiful sight, Shen Tang unconsciously swallowed her saliva.
[Wow so handsome!]
[A gentle scumbag, beast in human clothing heh heh]
[Why dress so strictly every day? Who are you trying to fend off?]
Gu Huaian was annoyed by the increasingly unscrupulous and revealing inner words.
He glanced at Shen Tang. She looked innocent and pure, yet her heart and mind were impure.
Shen Tang grinned, "Um, are you staying here tonight too?"
"Yeah, I'll be staying here for a while."
"I see..." Shen Tang's gaze wandered as she didn't dare to look directly at Gu Huaian.
After all, the dream she had last time was a bit disrespectful towards him.
Heavens above, she really had no ulterior motives towards her sugar daddy. She was just innocently indulging her desires.
One can hardly blame her. After all, it's human nature to be led by primal urges.
