Rebirth of a Fashionista: This Life Is Soo Last Season

Chapter 194 - No Friends

"Should I be glad that you still remember me?"

His voice was tainted with grievances and made Sheng Jiaoyang feel goosebumps all over.

"When you left the country that day, I did call back, but your phone was already off," Sheng Jiaoyang explained.

"And after that?"

"After that...I was busy after that, wasn't I? Busy with the advertisement shoot in the day, and knocked out immediately when I returned to the hotel at night."

"Excuses."

You already know that, so why do you have to say it out loud?! Sheng Jiaoyang's lips twitched.

"I heard from Grandpa that Grandfather Shen is fine now, right?" She quickly diverted the topic.

"Yeah."

"Then, when are you coming back?" Sheng Jiaoyang asked casually.

There was silence on the line before his voice, full of joy, asked, "Do you miss me?"

Sheng Jiaoyang parted her lips. Initially, she'd planned on telling him that it was a passing question, but she swallowed her words just as she was about to say them and admitted, "Yeah, I miss you. I called you as soon as I got back."

Anyway, saying "miss you" won't cost me anything. It's better to make the Demon King happy, lest he settles the score with me once he comes back.

"Good girl!" he praised in a low and deep voice.

Sheng Jiaoyang's lips twitched again. What does he take me for? A child?

"There are still some things that are unsettled on my side. Wait for me," he said. "If you can't wait, you can come over."

Come over? Am I a fool? Sheng Jiaoyang muttered under her breath. I'd be a fool to send myself to a wolf.

She cleared her throat before rejecting him. "Lunar New Year is approaching, and I have many things to do as well. Please help me send my blessings to Grandfather Shen. I wish him great health and longevity, and to be free from all ailments."

"Alright."

After hanging up the call, Sheng Jiaoyang threw her phone aside.

The last few days had really been exhausting. Though Gu Zhou had a gentle disposition, the fact that he was a Virgo made him crazier than her in his pursuit for perfection. There were many instances where things had to meet his standards before they could pass. Originally, she felt that her acting skills were pretty solid, but this time around, she was hammered many times when acting opposite Gu Zhou. Gu Zhou was indeed deserving of his title, Movie Emperor. Not only was he natural in front of the camera, he was photogenic, and his expressions were on point. In comparison, she suddenly seemed like a greenhorn.

Luckily, Gu Zhou was very patient. He explained things to her and brought her into character, slowly helping her to improve her acting skills.

Now, she was looking forward to the movie directed by Cen Jin. Once it started filming, she would be able to act opposite Gu Zhou again. That's right, Gu Zhou had invested in the movie and he was also the leading actor. While he was teaching her how to act, she found out that the leading actress in this movie posed a challenge to one's acting skills and she liked to do challenging things.

The next day, Sheng Jiaoyang shut herself in her painting room. As the saying goes, 'A peach for a pear'. Gu Zhou had done her such huge favour, and she felt guilty for not returning it. Since Gu Zhou liked her works, she would repay him with a painting. Not long after, she went to participate in a variety show.
