The Substitute Bride: Indulged by the Obsessive CEO - Chapter 309

Chapter 309: Yeah, Right!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ye Lan thought that Fu Jin would notice her if she practiced hard.

But in the end, it was a joke!

She had thousands of words buried in her heart, which she didn’t think she had the right to say out loud. All she could do now was to swallow them, or she would lose face.

Fang Han glanced at the boys and girls in Fu Jin’s studio. Her gaze was fixed on Ye Lan’s face for a while before she looked away.

What these girls were thinking about could not escape Fang Han’s eyes. That was the reason she held hands with Fu Jin when they came downstairs and introduce herself as his girlfriend.

After she was done showing off, she swung Fu Jin’s arm coquettishly and said that she was starving and needed him to take her out for some food.

Fu Jin had no choice but to take her out for some food.

After getting into the car, Fang Han took out a hair tie from her bag to tie her hair up. However, she couldn’t make it look good. She threw the hair tie on top the glove compartment where Fu Jin could see.

Fu Jin saw through her little trick and was in no hurry to start the car. He rested his elbow on the front arm rest and looked at her.

“What kind of girlfriend have I gotten myself? With so many tricks up her sleeve that she would declare sovereignty wherever she goes. Are you always so willful with your exes?”

Fang Han took out her lipstick and touched up her lips before she said with a smile, “Do I look good?”

She asked this because she didn’t want to talk about her exes. Fu Jin also stopped asking because if he persisted, he could come across as petty.

“You have full makeup on today. Did you have a show?”

“Yeah, I was exhausted after the show. I rushed over to find you after I received Tang Beibei’s call. Your ex-girlfriend is quite cute and ignorant. She’s starting to grow on me.”

Fu Jin turned his head to look at her angrily. “Was language not your strong suit in school, big sister Fang Han? Since when is Beibei my ex-girlfriend?” “You have a crush on her, what? When you see her, you can’t even take your eyes off her. You find her interesting even if you admire her from afar. In that sense she’s your ex and my love rival.”

Fu Jin couldn’t be bothered to say anything else and started driving.

Fang Han continued, “If Tang Beibei is married to someone else, you might still have a chance. But her husband is Jiang Jingchen, who’s very handsome on the outside but ruthless on the inside. Even I am not his match. Your chances are almost zero.”

“… Can we talk about something happy?”

Fu Jin’s expression darkened. In his memory, Tang Beibei was a girl who danced in secret because she was afraid of being found out.

But she was now a confident dancer with enough courage to show off her talent on stage.

He would not disrupt her married life, let alone fight for her.

Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi brought the Han costumes home. They tried on a few costumes and shot a few videos, which received positive responses.

Many students posted complimentary comments on their vlog and said that they would like to learn their dance steps. So, the two girls shot a few step-by-step videos for specific dance moves.

Every day, Tang Beibei attended school, practiced dancing and read books. Her schedule was packed.

Half a month later, the auditions for “Dancing Youth” began.

For their auditions, participants could submit a video to the production team or dance live and receive pointers from the three coaches.

The production team wasn’t big. The coaches they hired this year were Mu Zhi, a dance teacher with more than 20 years of teaching experience, freelance dancer Cheng Jian and famous choreographer Xu Feng.

They weren’t A-lister judges but were relatively famous within the dance industry.

On the day of the audition, Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi skipped school and rushed to the venue for live auditions. It was very crowded and there was long queue.

Tang Beibei said gloomily, “There are so many people here. We should have come here after attending classes.”

Ruan Qi did not expect so many people either. The auditions were meant to run for a week. She wanted to get through as soon as possible so that she could train in peace.

“We’ll have to wait for a few hours, which will tire us out and make our dance worse. Let’s go back to school first.”

Tang Beibei turned and left without hesitation.

“Since we are already here, shouldn’t we wait?” Ruan Qi hesitated as she looked at the crowd with furrowed brows.

Tang Beibei said, “Waiting consumes mental energy. Moreover, the judges will experience aesthetic fatigue after a while and slack off towards the end.”

Ruan Qi could not refute that and followed Tang Beibei back to school. Fortunately, they were back in class because the teacher decided to take attendance today. If their attendance wasn’t taken, they will receive demerit points.

Over the next three days, everyone at Fu Jin’s dance studio received their passes and moved on to the next stage of the competition, except Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi.

“Beibei, haven’t you received a pass to move on to the next stage of the competition?” Xi Tong asked with a smile.

“Not yet.”

“But it’s okay. You’re quite capable. You can also participate in other programs.”

After all, the audition had been going on for six days. The results were more or less cast in stone by now.

Xi Tong assumed that Tang Beibei didn’t make it. Although she comforted her with a sympathetic expression, she was secretly overjoyed.

She despised Tang Beibei’s high and mighty attitude because she was married to a rich second-generation heir.

Chen Xixi also comforted her. “Beibei, everyone here recognizes your skills. It must be because the judges didn’t appreciate it that they didn’t let you advance.”

The others nodded in agreement, saying that it was a pity that she didn’t make it through auditions.

Tang Beibei’s lips twitched, but she didn’t explain and continued practicing her dance.

Everyone saw her expression and thought that she was disappointed and didn’t want to talk to anyone. Some sympathized with her, while others mocked her. Who asked her to take leave so easily? Fu Jin was nice to her and approved her leave of absence, but other teachers wouldn’t be so forgiving.

So what if she was married to a rich second-generation heir? Wasn’t she still a good-for-nothing? She couldn’t even pass a single audition. What a joke!

Tang Beibei didn’t know what others were thinking and continued her dance practice seriously. After training ended, she received a call from Jiang Jingchen. She thought about what Ruan Qi said about other women in the studio were coveting Jiang Jingchen and said quickly, “Don’t come in. I’ll come out and find you.”

“What happened?”

“No!”

Tang Beibei felt that she had been too fierce, so she softened her tone and said, “It’s cold when you get out of the car. Hubby, just wait for me in the car.” “Obedient Beibei, I’m already outside your training room.”

Tang Beibei looked up and saw him waving at her from the door.

She looked at the other girls nervously. As expected, they were all looking at him.

She quickly packed her things and ran up to Jiang Jingchen with her bag. She almost jumped on him to cover his face.

She held his arm tightly and kissed him in front of everyone.

Jiang Jingchen was stunned. It was rare for his little woman to be so proactive.

“Hubby, let’s go.”

Jiang Jingchen saw the woman pulling him away anxiously and smiled while pinching the back of her neck without moving a step.

“Obedient Beibei, why are you suddenly so affectionate? What are you up to?”

“No, no, we’re husband and wife. I have the right to kiss you.” She explained seriously.

“Oh,” Jiang Jingchen said. “Then, do I have the right to kiss you?”

“Yes!”

Jiang Jingchen curled his lips and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips. He saw that she was beaming and seemed to be in a good mood. Although he did not know what was happening, he was in a good mood too.

When the two of them turned to leave, Tang Beibei smiled and looked provocatively at the girls who dared to covet her husband.

Hmph, her husband loved her, so they could forget about snatching him away!

The two of them got into the car. Jiang Jingchen was in the driver’s seat. Tang Beibei saw that he wasn’t driving and asked him in confusion why they weren’t moving.

Jiang Jingchen put his hands lazily on the steering wheel and laughed.

Tang Beibei was puzzled. “Hubby, why are you laughing?”

“Obedient Beibei, did you forget something?”

Tang Beibei’s mind was filled with question marks. She opened her bag, but she couldn’t figure out what she had left behind.

Jiang Jingchen looked at her cute and silly reaction and flicked her forehead.

“I’ll bestow you with a little intelligence.”

“Try to remember. How many people were there when we came out this morning?”

“… Three. Me, you, and Qiqi.”

Only then did Tang Beibei remember. “Ah, I remember now! Qiqi hasn’t gotten into the car yet!”

She facepalmed herself in embarrassment and wanted to get out of the car to find Ruan Qi, but the man stopped her.

“She’s here.”

Ruan Qi walked to the car angrily, opened the door, and threw her bag into the back seat. After she sat in, she glared at Tang Beibei coldly.

“Romance before friendship!”

“Cough, no, Qiqi, I was about to call you.” Tang Beibei lied guiltily.

“Yeah, right!”
