Chapter 140

It was not until the following day that Wen Xiu finally understood what it meant to be the chosen one of destiny.
The very teacher who had rejected Wen Xiu the day before had called on her own initiative to say that she was willing to become Yu Qian’s teacher. The film directed by Zhou Jingchen released its first trailer, and in its wake, all kinds of offers and resources came flooding toward Zhou Jingchen’s little studio like snowflakes.
In addition, the fashion week that Yu Wen and his wife had been applying to join for so long had finally accepted them!
In short, whether it concerned Yu Qian herself or the people around her, everything had suddenly become extraordinarily smooth.
It was as though some unseen force were helping her clear away every obstacle.
No—not as though. There really was someone helping her.
That person was the Heavenly Way.
“I thought the patron would be Zhou Jingchen. I never expected it to be the Dao Sovereign,” Wen Xiu muttered as she prepared the new teacher’s employment documents.
“What?” Yu Qian had not heard her clearly.
“Nothing. But Zhou Jingchen’s luck is pretty incredible too. A single trailer was enough to send his studio soaring.”
“Of course. Ah Chen is amazing.” Yu Qian answered with unmistakable pride, completely failing to notice the word “too” in Wen Xiu’s sentence.
“You think Zhou Jingchen is amazing?” Wen Xiu shot her a sidelong glance.
“Of course! Just look at him. He’s tall and handsome, and he has money—a bona fide tall, rich, and handsome man. And on top of that, he’s academically gifted, a brilliant expert with real skills. More importantly, he can act. And most importantly of all, he has fantastic taste. The girl he likes is the cutest person in the whole world!”
She was praising someone else, so why had she managed to praise herself in the process?
Wen Xiu was speechless. She tapped Yu Qian on her drooping left shoulder.
“What are you mooning over? Get back to practicing.”

“Aw!” Yu Qian had not been prepared and took the hit squarely.
That had really hurt.
She did not dare talk back, and could only grumble inwardly.
Still, she obediently straightened her shoulders.
The sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
The moment Zhou Jingchen returned with his luggage, he saw his little darling walking around with a massive dictionary balanced on her head.
The dictionary was unstable, so every now and then she had to steady it with one hand.
What on earth was she doing?
“Aw—Zhou Jingchen! Hurry and tell Xiuxiu to let me have one bite of that little cake! Aah!”
Ever since she had begun training independently on the tenth day of the month, Wen Xiu had hired a nutritionist for her and made her follow a strict meal plan. Milk tea, cake, cola, and every other fattening food had been banned.
Heaven knew how painful it was to give up the snacks she had never managed to quit in her previous life, only to have them forcibly taken away in this one.
And now she had to give them up completely!
She had not eaten a little cake in an entire week. The moment she saw Zhou Jingchen return, her eyes lit up.
He had only just taken a little cake from the refrigerator for her when Wen Xiu appeared.
“No!”
She rushed over and snatched the cake from the young man’s hands, then turned and glared at Yu Qian.
“And don’t you glare at me!”

After putting the little cake back in the refrigerator, Wen Xiu carefully inspected Yu Qian. Only after confirming that she had not had time to eat any did she finally let out the breath she had been holding.
“Zhou Jingchen, come with me to the study.”
She could not let him indulge Yu Qian.
A short while later, Zhou Jingchen emerged. His expression was somewhat complicated. Faced with the girl gazing at him expectantly, he suddenly found himself at a loss for words.
“You…” He wanted to say something, but did not know what. In the end, unable to withstand her gaze any longer, he simply carried his luggage back to his own home.
Well… he would take a moment to compose himself and calm down before coming back to see his little darling.
He had never expected his little darling to simply brush aside the two failed auditions and turn her attention to a new goal, working hard toward it instead.
By comparison, Zhou Jingchen felt as though he had been injected with adrenaline and became even more driven.
He could not let his little darling leave him behind!
Once he had made up his mind, he called Director Xu and accepted the roadshow appearances in the provincial capital and several nearby cities.
Zhou Jingchen, keep going! For the sake of his little darling, charge ahead!
