Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Pretending to Be a Couple with Her Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Pretending to Be a Couple with Her Hao Yansen and the others collectively took a tumble—
For goodness’ sake, with all the roles a guy like you could play, why on earth did you have to choose to play a woman?
And to top it off, act out a timeless tragic romance with her… Are you even serious?!
Mo Jun felt like crying; she chose to cross-dress specifically to avoid playing lovers with him, and yet here he was, carelessly selecting women’s attire…
“Hua Ling, those are women’s clothes, just don’t wear them! Pick something else, we can play brothers, or father and son, anything but lovers!” In any case, that was definitely off the table.
Mo Jun hurriedly tried to persuade him.
But Hua Ling was set on playing a woman, “Little Yunyun, if you can wear men’s clothing, why can’t I wear women’s? Look at how many men here are playing female roles; me playing Zhu Yingtai is actually quite normal!”
What part of this is normal…
In short, playing lovers with her is anything but normal.
“You’re the esteemed young master of the Hua Family, won’t playing a woman tarnish your brilliant image?” Mo Jun continued to try to reason with him.
Hua Ling didn’t mind at all, “Not at all, I’ve played a woman before, and I even gained a bunch of fangirls. They seem to like me better in women’s clothes, I look pretty good, you know. I could try it on for you.”
“No need for that… How about we pick a different set instead…”
“No, this one!” Hua Ling said with firm resolve, “I haven’t tried wearing ancient costumes before, and this red outfit is actually quite pretty. That settles it then, I’ll play Zhu Yingtai, and you’ll be Liang Shanbo. We’ll just perform a quick scene later. There’s no time left, Little Yunyun, I’m off to change, you hurry up too. Hey you, come and take her to get changed and made up!”
Hua Ling casually summoned a volunteer, who, seeing both him and Mo Jun were good-looking, was more than happy to oblige.
Then Hua Ling, with a cheerful laugh, took his clothes and went to a makeup room on his own…
Mo Jun and the others: “…”
For some reason, they had the inexplicable feeling that Hua Ling was actually looking forward to playing a woman!
He’s a man, there are so many other things he could do, why would he have this kind of interest?
Mo Jun went to change, holding back tears, knowing it was too late to have second thoughts. It was her own fault for owing Hua Ling quite a few favors, and she’d already agreed to his request—she couldn’t go back on her word now.
But at least there was a silver lining; she was playing a man, not a woman. Maybe that would make explaining things to Hao Yansen a bit easier later on…
Mo Jun comforted herself with this thought, oblivious to the fact that she was being both naive and foolish!
Meanwhile, Hao Yansen turned on his phone and saw that he had a missed call from the time it was off—Mo Jun had called.
He immediately called back, but nobody answered…
Feeling puzzled, Hao Yansen decided to call Jian Wu.
Jian Wu and Lin Feng were backstage waiting for Mo Jun and the others’ transformation when suddenly, Jian Wu’s phone rang with a call from Hao Yansen, startling him.
“Hello, Mr. Hao,” Jian Wu answered very respectfully.
“Where are you guys? Why isn’t Mo Jun answering her phone?” Hao Yansen asked bluntly.
Sweat unwittingly beaded on Jian Wu’s forehead, “We’re at the Xinhua Road Sports Hall, Miss Mo is here watching a performance…”
“A performance? What kind of performance?” Hao Yansen inquired, confused.
Jian Wu didn’t dare tell the truth and could only respond vaguely, “It’s just a performance by some amateur performers…”
“Got it,” Hao Yansen actually believed they were merely watching a performance and promptly hung up.
