The Queen’s Rise to the Top

Chapter 500

As night fell, the lights in the connecting sky gardens of the two families lit up, the landscape lights personally selected by Gu Beihuai, each glowing just right.

As one light after another lit up, it seemed to also be celebrating today's victory.

However, the two people in the house were completely unaware of the romantic atmosphere created by the lit garden. One was busy washing three cats, the other went straight to the gym to work up a sweat after watching cartoons.

The next day, Xiao Dong came to pick up people on time as usual. Nan Xiangwan energetically got in the car and casually opened the breakfast box on the next seat. On the road, Xiao Dong kept yawning incessantly, looking like she didn't sleep well last night.

Nan Xiangwan: "Are you driving while fatigued?"

As she said this, she felt itchy hands, wanting to try driving herself. She still hadn't used the driving mastery skill gifted by the dog!

Xiao Dong did a beautiful drift around the corner, then calmly answered: "Oh, I was up all night reading fan fiction yesterday, didn't get much sleep, but it's no problem to drive this bit of road."

Nan Xiangwan silently took back her desire to drive the car herself. The omnipotent little assistant can be quite mysterious at times.

Upon arriving at the resting lounge of the Singers recording studio, she discovered that both Monica and Jing Da Shuai had arrived. The two hadn't brought assistants and were each hauling their own large makeup bags over by themselves.

Xiao Dong greeted them briefly before lying down on the sofa to sleep and catch up. Still looking tired, it seemed like she really didn't sleep well last night.

Nan Xiangwan looked at them in surprise: "Are you two a team now?"

Jing Da Shuai: "Am I the husband or the wife?"

Monica: "Grownups business, kids ask fewer questions!"

Nan Xiangwan refused to resign herself to this: "I also have a boyfriend now, ok?"

Xiao Dong gave a start and sat up, suddenly wide awake and alert.

Whereas Jing Da Shuai gave a thumbs up: "You go girl, Nan Xiangwan! Speaking of which, what stage are you two at now?"

Monica: "Have you gone all the way?"

Nan Xiangwan: "What what?"

Xiao Dong shrieked: "Ah——!"

Nan Xiangwan looked back: "Weren't you sleeping?"

Xiao Dong's face was all red. Taking a deep breath she exclaimed: "Got any earplugs? I can't listen to this kind of talk!"

These three people were truly too shocking in their speech. Xiao Dong was truly afraid, unable to shut their mouths, she could at least cover her own ears! However in the process of putting on earplugs, Nan Xiangwan, Monica, and Jing Da Shuai kept staring at her the whole time, looking at Xiao Dong until she felt uncomfortable.

Xiao Dong: "Why are you three looking at me?"

Monica: "Seeing when you'll finish putting them on, we want to talk dirty here."

Xiao Dong hurriedly sped up her movements: "Oh my god!"

Jing Da Shuai was trying not to laugh: "Nan Xiangwan, your little assistant is so innocent."

Nan Xiangwan: "Yes, young miss is quite so."

At this point Xiao Dong could no longer hear anything, the earplugs were very effective. Jing Da Shuai immediately turned into a gossip fairy, frantically asking Nan Xiangwan: "You and Top Star Gu really confirmed your relationship?"

Monica rolled her eyes: "Obviously confirmed long ago, last time you even talked about getting married if I remember correctly."

Nan Xiangwan: "No no, first we talked about marriage then confirmed the relationship, fixed it the day before yesterday."

Monica: "???"

Jing Da Shuai: "You two, this this, are truly incomprehensible!"

Nan Xiangwan put on a troubled expression: "But he doesn't let me eat meat."

Jing Da Shuai: "Hm??? Why, meat doesn't taste good? Is he a vegetarian?"

Nan Xiangwan: "Tastes great! Who doesn't like eating meat these days? Unimaginable!"

Monica covered her face: "I dare guarantee you two are not talking about the same thing."

Jing Da Shuai: "Not letting you eat pork, mutton, beef, or chicken, duck, goose?"

Nan Xiangwan looked confused: "I said meaty stuff."

Jing Da Shuai: "So did I!"

Monica laughed like crazy.

After a long time, Jing Da Shuai finally understood what kind of meat Nan Xiangwan was referring to. He jumped up, hopping about: "I'll be damned! Nan Xiangwan, aren't you a bit too open? Do you look like a girl who just turned eighteen? Something's not right with you!"

Nan Xiangwan: "Something's not right with you! I'm normal, I have needs ok?"

Jing Da Shuai: "I'll be damned! So-called 'needs', even if others have them they wouldn't state it so directly. And you just confirmed your relationship the day before yesterday, yet today you're already complaining your man doesn't let you touch him? You're toxic!"

Nan Xiangwan: "Yet you slept with Monica before confirming your relationship, how come you don't talk about that?"

Jing Da Shuai: "......"

Monica: "Cough cough."

Nan Xiangwan suddenly sidled back up again and asked: "Oh, Monica you've got such a hot bod, nice to touch?"

Jing Da Shuai was about to go mad: "Shut your mouth!"

Nan Xiangwan rolled her eyes and instead asked Monica: "How's Jing's stamina? Boyfriend material explode?"

Monica thought about it: "Usually I'm the one pushing him, I'm the one with boyfriend power."

Nan Xiangwan envied this endlessly: "I wanna push Gu Beihuai like that too."

Jing Da Shuai: "You two enough! Monica, fine, she's a foreigner. But Nan Xiangwan what the heck!"

As Monica helped do Nan Xiangwan's hair, she suggested: "Why not get him drunk then jump him? Men generally have no self-control when drunk."

Nan Xiangwan: "Heh, with my low alcohol tolerance? I'll knock out with one glass, what am I gonna use to get him drunk? My coke against his whiskey?"

Jing Da Shuai: "Hahaha! Keep your mouth shut now, or I'll mess up drawing your eyeliner."

Monica kept thinking: "Doesn't necessarily have to be just you two, can set up a gathering first, the kind where everyone's together, then let him drink a bit. Oh right, what's his alcohol tolerance like?"

Nan Xiangwan: "Don't know."

Monica: "Then test the boundaries while plying him with drinks."

Nan Xiangwan: "That could work, we'll do it tonight then."

Jing Da Shuai: "Do you have to be so urgent about it? Reason?"

Nan Xiangwan: "The Singers grand finals for the championship title enough reason for you?"

Jing Da Shuai started clapping: "Brilliant brilliant!"

Monica: "Oh right, get your preventative measures ready, you're not planning on getting married yet right?"

Nan Xiangwan: "I do plan to marry, just not old enough yet."

Jing Da Shuai fumbled about in his pocket: "Stop fretting, I'll lend you one."

Nan Xiangwan casually reached out to take it over, though not knowing where to put it.

Jing Da Shuai: "Stick it in your own clothes, then change out of costume after you're done singing tonight."

Nan Xiangwan: "Sounds good."

Monica: "Just one enough?"

Nan Xiangwan hesitated: "Not too sure."

Jing Da Shuai went all in: "Fine fine fine, I'll give you all of mine."

And so, Nan Xiangwan's pockets bulged with a bunch of unmentionable little secrets.

Lying on the sofa, Xiao Dong wanted to sleep but was too agitated from the stimulation just now so hadn't fallen asleep yet. She had just turned over when her eyes caught sight of the “transaction” between the three people.

She watched this scene dumbfounded, mind going blank.

Just what had the three of them been talking about? How could they bring out this kind of stuff so casually?

Not suitable for children, way over the line!

What happened to innocent young Miss Nan!

But no matter how Xiao Dong wailed internally, it was useless. The three were clearly chatting merrily, from initial suggestions and borrowing stuff earlier, now they'd even started discussing details.

The goal for tonight, seduce Gu Beihuai!
