Chapter 36 - Ah Well, She Is My Daughter (4)
Lin Xu was charming, attractive, and had a very curvy body.
She had on a tight-fitting red dress and attracted a lot of attention at the banquet as she walked past.
When she noticed Chen Qinyan, who was the center of the attention, her charming eyes flickered, and she walked over with her wine glass in her hand.
She was very interested in this man. She felt a stirring sensation from the very first time she has set her eyes on him.
But, the feeling was not reciprocated.
But that was okay. She didn’t mind a harder to get one from time to time; it excited her even more. She licked her lower lip gently and looked at him as though she was looking at prey.
“Hi, Boss Chen.” Lin Xu gave him a very confident smile and with a very noticeable presence, walked over to him. “What a coincidence. We meet again!”
Chen Qinyan nodded with a nonchalant look, “Miss Lin.”
The eyes of all the men there were surrounding Chen Qinyan earlier lit up when they saw Lin Xu, and one by one, they greeted her.
Lin Xu smiled and exchanged some polite pleasantries with them before she turned the subject back to Chen Qinyan and said, “Boss Chen, I was looking for you today because there’s something I wanted to talk to you about.”
Chen Qinyan swirled his wine glass and didn’t pay her much attention.
Lin Xu carried on, “You have invested in a movie recently and I have auditioned for this movie. The director was quite pleased with me. And a while back, we talked about working together on it. But just a few days ago, he had contacted me and told me that you weren’t happy with giving the role to me?”
She had a pretty good idea as to why that was. Mostly likely, he didn’t want to have a lot of contact with her.
After all, she gave him her room key the very first night that they’ve met although he never showed.
She’d lost a few more battles since then and found out that he has a 3-year-old daughter.
It was a bummer that he has a daughter. It was just like looking at a slice of sumptuous cake, except someone had already taken a bite out of it.
She had spent some time gathering information on him any which way that she could and finally came to the conclusion that he was, indeed, single.
As long as he was single.
Lin Xu was very open when it came to romance.
They were no longer living in the feudal society; so what if she was more liberal?
The men next to them, upon hearing what she had just said, exchanged looks with each other then turned and looked at Chen Qinyan in surprise.
This Lin Xu was such a hot babe!
What man wouldn’t like a pretty woman?
That aside, she was competent, and her acting was great. Basically all of the movies she was in were blockbusters.
Everybody else would kill to have something to do with her, and the mean Boss Chen was trying to boot her off?
Chen Qinyan looked at her nonchalantly. He didn’t feel that he owed her any sort of explanation and was about to walk away.
But a little voice rang next to her, “I told daddy to not let you play the role!”
Everybody was a little stunned, and they all looked down instinctively.
What they saw was a little girl in a pink princess outfit. Nobody knew when she got there, but she was blocking Chen Qinyan from the side while looking at Lin Xu in an alarmed way.
Chen Mian didn’t like this aunty very much.
She had been with Aunty Yi during the last few banquets and had seen this aunty throwing herself at her daddy plenty of times.
Chen Mian felt that she wanted to become her stepmommy!
But she has a mommy and she didn’t need a stepmommy!
Which was why, a few days ago, when she was playing in the study and overheard her daddy talking to someone over videoconference and found out that she was going to be the female lead on the show, she expressed her feelings to her daddy so daddy had booted aunty off.
As a daughter, she must guard daddy for mommy!
Lin Xu lifted her brows and looked at the little girl in front of her.
This must be Chen Qinyan’s 3-year-old daughter.
She was quite cute, but also quite spoiled.
A young miss from a wealthy family that wasn’t raised properly. A 100% an unruly child.
Lin Xu didn’t like kids at all, especially the unruly ones.
As much as she didn’t like her inside, she wasn’t showing any of it. She was, after all, a film empress. She could act better than that.
Lin Xu was too dignified to speak to an unruly child. She just asked the child’s father directly, “Boss Chen, what did your daughter mean by that?”
