The Villain's Contracted Lover

9-10

Chapter 9 - Face Slapping ("With her high standing, if she's willing to bash your actresses, she was doing you a favor.") (1)  

The crowd who was happily waiting for the drama to unfold earlier went silent all of a sudden as they stared at the crushed coconut on the table and exchanged looks with each other.

Zhou LiQian, whose arm was still pinned behind her back, kept on shouting, "Xu WanZhi, what do you think you are doing! Let me go!"

She might still sound tough, but she was already panicking inside – her arm, twisted behind her, was hurting like hell and all she could think of was the scene of Xu WanZhi crushing the coconut with her bare hands. She never knew that Xu WanZhi could do that. Should she kneel down and thank the good lord that Xu WanZhi didn't just dislocate her shoulder???

Xu WanZhi sneered and gave Zhou LiQian a forward shove when she let go of her. Zhou LiQian stumbled forward a couple of steps and fell onto a lounger.

"Oh!" Xu WanZhi acted surprised, took a couple steps forward, bent over, and said, "I am sorry, LiQian-jie. It seems I have... accidentally knocked your plastic surgery nose out of place."

Startled, Zhou LiQian immediately pulled out her phone and turned on the front camera.

It was only after she had turned the camera on that she realized that she had fallen for her trick.

But it was too late.

The crowd around them started chitchatting among themselves.

"So Zhou LiQian had plastic surgeries?"

"Hadn't she always bragged about everything being all natural on herself?"

"She had a nose job?"

"And she had the audacity to call someone else a head-changing monster day in and day out?"

Embarrassed, Zhou LiQian got up, stomped her feet, and went back to her dressing room.

Xu WanZhi smiled, called Xiao Yuan over, and opened up another coconut.

It was only after a long while before Zhou LiQian slowly re-emerged after she had touched up her makeup. She had already touched it up a few times this afternoon, but still couldn't stop her small beads of sweat from showing up on her forehead.

In contrast, Xu WanZhi's makeup was fine on her delicate face. With her being able to use her magical ability to maintain her body temperature, the heat had no effect on her. Her rosy red lips still casually sipping coconut juice out of a straw. Her slender, white legs were crossed, and her curvy body was leaning against the back of the chair as she looked down upon everyone and everything around her.

Every look and smile of hers had an added hint of amorousness to them.

It was as though the ceramic doll who was only capable of a fake smile had suddenly gained a soul and turned into a beautiful woman from the inside out.

As much as everybody else was busy running around with their own business, they still couldn't help glancing over in her direction from time to time.

Noticing the chance in the ways that others were looking at Xu WanZhi, Zhou LiQian was so mad that she could explode. But she was still intimidated by Xu WanZhi's brute force. She wasn't even able to negotiate the beating scene. She hasn't even been able to slap her across her face yet, and she already had her arm twisted behind her. What the hell was going on?

She mulled over it for a long time. Finally, she gave into her fear and said with a quivering voice, "We should stick with the original plan of faking the slap."
