Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 161 160. Xixi has her own clever plan (Second update, please subscribe)

the next morning.

When Lin Xiao opened his eyes, the sun was almost shining on his butt. He looked at the clock on the wall and it was 7:30 in the morning.

I slept until dawn and slept for almost ten hours.

He was shocked himself.

After all, my normal sleeping quality is not that good. I easily cannot fall asleep if something happens. But last night I slept so soundly lying on the soft sofa.

"Is it because my wife is next to me?"

he guessed.

Just as I was thinking about it, a faint fragrance wafted into my nose, along with the whirring sound of the range hood on the lowest setting.

Lin Xiao got up and went to the kitchen to take a look.

Han Xixi was wearing home clothes and an apron, with her hair casually tied in a ponytail at the back of her head. She was concentrating on cooking something in the pot.

The image of a good wife and mother.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile knowingly: "What are you doing?"

The sudden sound scared Xixi so much that she exclaimed “Ouch”.

Lin Xiao hurried over, touched her head, and pinched her earlobe.

"Hu Lumao, it won't scare you. Just lift your ears and scare them for a while..."

He recited it three times in a row as if chanting a sutra, looking very serious.

Han Xixi was so amused that she couldn't help laughing. Her eyes turned into two crescents. She said with a smile, "Cook some tomato and egg noodles... I can't cook anything else! Did I wake you up?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, I was awakened by the fragrance!"

As he said this, he moved closer to the pot and sniffed it in an exaggerated manner, his face full of intoxication: "What a nice smell!"

As he smelled, his nose changed direction and sniffed Xixi's shoulder and neck, then took a sneak bite.

"Mm, this one is more delicious, I want to eat this one!"

"Lin Xiao! You!"

Xixi was embarrassed and ready to beat him up with the soup spoon.

Lin Xiao was prepared in advance.

Who would wait here after doing something bad? Of course, he would run away, laughing all over the room.

He took a shower before breakfast was ready.

I drove all day yesterday and it smelled so bad that I don’t know how I fell asleep.

I went in at 7:40 and came out at 7:45.

Han Xixi happened to be carrying out noodles and met Lin Xiao. She was a little dazzled by his handsomeness.

His hair was wet, with a few drops of water still hanging on his face. His chin was covered with fine stubble and his skin was the color of rice bran.

Because I often run around outside after going to the countryside.

His skin is not delicate either. If you look closely, you can even see some tiny bumps on it.

But he is so handsome that you can't take your eyes off him.

His overall image was that of a sunny, healthy, and even somewhat wild masculinity, which made Han Xixi's eyes, which had been polluted by the entertainment industry, suddenly shine.

Compared with those male stars in the circle who put on thicker powder than female stars, speak like a woman and wink at every turn, Lin Xiao can be said to be full of hormones.

Han Xixi's face turned red immediately, she lowered her head, pursed her lips, and quickly walked away.

"Eat...eat breakfast!"

This reaction left Lin Xiao confused.

I thought to myself, am I really that handsome? But when I looked in the mirror just now, I was obviously a lot rougher!

I don't understand, so I threw away the towel and went to sit down.

Just as I was about to start eating, the doorbell rang.

Han Xixi was sitting with his back to the door, but he didn't take it seriously and just stood up and went to open the door.

A familiar voice came over.

"Today's event was urgent and there was no time to arrange a dressing room, so I just brought the makeup artist here..."

Zhou Hui's voice stopped abruptly.

She and Lin Xiao, who was sitting in the restaurant, looked at each other.

At first I was surprised.

Then he looked at his wet hair.

He turned his head again and looked towards the foggy bathroom.

Finally, look at Han Xixi, who looks refreshed and has a rosy face.

Zhou Hui understood immediately and thought that young people are different. They are cheering for love early in the morning.

Sister Hui swallowed subconsciously.

I guess I'm getting old and starting to miss this kind of thing.

She coughed, pretended not to see it, and let the makeup artist into the house.

“This is small change!”

Zhou Hui introduced, then looked around and asked Xixi, "Where is the most convenient place to put on makeup?"

Han Xixi thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the balcony. The light is good!"

The three women agreed that no one introduced Lin Xiao from beginning to end.

He was shocked: My invisibility cloak has finally been developed successfully?

The small living room is divided into two areas.

While people on the balcony were racing against time to get their hair and makeup done, people in the restaurant were leisurely eating noodles.

Although they do not interfere with each other.

But they couldn't help but throw glances back and forth.

Especially the makeup artist Xiao Qian, who had already guessed Lin Xiao's identity, but still couldn't help but take a few more glances. After all, "Han Xixi's husband" had never shown his face, and you couldn't see him whenever you wanted.

after an hour.

After Xixi finished dressing up, she changed into an elegant dress that Zhou Hui brought, and her whole temperament immediately became refreshed.

The country girl turns into an urban beauty in seconds.

Zhou Hui calculated the time and was in a hurry to go out.

"and many more!"

Lin Xiao spoke at this time.

The three women looked at him at the same time, and saw him take out two boiled eggs, a piece of bread and a glass of milk from the kitchen, and said to Xixi: "You haven't had breakfast yet, eat first!"

All three of them were stunned.

Especially the makeup artist Xiao Qian, from a professional point of view, he should stand up and say at this time that you should not eat after putting on makeup, as it will easily come off.

But looking at Lin Xiao's simple words and caring eyes.

She swallowed the words back, her eyes sparkling and her heart beating fast.

Han Xixi hesitated and looked at Zhou Hui.

Zhou Hui waved her hand: "Eat, eat, and put on some lipstick later... Xiao Qian, we'll wait in the corridor!"

The two retreated quickly.

Lin Xiao is very satisfied with Sister Hui's change in attitude, but he is still more accustomed to her previous look of raised nose in the air!

Han Xixi finished this special breakfast quickly and slowly.

On the one hand, I was in a hurry, and on the other hand, I was afraid of ruining my makeup, so I was in a dilemma about eating.

Lin Xiao didn't urge him either.

He was sitting opposite her, with his right hand on his chin, looking at her with an auntie smile on his face.

Today he has a new wife.

Before, when Xixi attended events, she always wore light makeup. Because she has a good foundation and wants to go for the pure look, she really didn’t need too much makeup.

But this time I stayed in the countryside for a few days and got a little tanned.

So when putting on makeup, I applied an extra layer of powder than before, taking care of my neck and arms.

It's a rare opportunity for Xixi to have a fully armed and exquisite makeup look.

Lin Xiao found it very rare.

But no matter how you look at it, my wife is still naturally beautiful and pure.

Under his attention, Han Xixi finally finished her breakfast.

"I'm leaving, brother. You should have a good rest at home~"

She smiled brightly and was about to go out. "Wait a minute!"

Lin Xiao called her again, chased her to the entrance, and stretched out his hands to hold her slender waist in his arms.

Xixi knew what he was going to do and quickly refused: "Makeup! It will ruin your makeup..."

As he said this, his eyes were filled with shame.

Lin Xiao, however, moved forward bravely, continued to lean over and cover her with a kiss.

Only cover your lips this time.

I didn't dare to move too big for fear of going out of bounds.

After a quick taste, he smiled contentedly: "My lipstick is all ruined anyway, so I might as well just eat it all up for you...it's sweet!"

Han Xixi's eyes were full of pouting, and she glared at him softly. There was really nothing she could do about this bastard who appeared to be serious but was actually a complete scoundrel in private.

Biting his lower lip, he reluctantly went out the door.

……

Lin Xiao lay around in the apartment all day.

I received a WeChat message from Xixi at around four o'clock, saying that she would be home soon.

Only then did he get up.

I ordered a bunch of dishes for lunch, but didn’t cook them, so I ordered takeout instead.

You can't do this at night.

So I got up and cooked to reward my wife who had just returned from hunting.

As soon as the meal was ready, Han Xixi came back with Zhou Hui.

Lin Xiao originally thought that Zhou Hui was just sending Xixi back and would leave as soon as she saw her enter the door, but he didn't expect that this elder sister would change her shoes and walk into the house directly without any courtesy.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao could only invite: "Sister Hui, would you like to eat something together?"

Zhou Hui glanced at the three dishes and one soup on the table, and looked at him in surprise. She obviously didn't expect that this brother could write songs and cook. He was simply an all-round good husband!
"Row!"

Zhou Hui nodded.

Lin Xiao: “???”

Where was that perceptive agent in the morning? Was he possessed after being out for a day?

He was speechless.

However, it was not until the three of them sat down at the table that he realized that it was Han Xixi's idea for Zhou Hui to stay.

The two had serious work to discuss.

"Sister Hui, can you please tell me the crew's requirements again?" Xixi asked, wanting to hear Lin Xiao's opinion.

Zhou Hui's expression changed immediately, and she said angrily: "Didn't 'Night Wind Glory' start airing this Friday? The premiere was so-so, and it didn't meet the expectations of the crew and Yu Anan's team.

"But by observing the comments and hot searches, they found that many netizens came here because of the dispute between you and Yu Anan. Many of the comments were because they felt sorry for Yu Anan and came here specifically to support the new work.

"The crew became excited when they found out about this. The original promotional strategy was to have you and Yu Anan reconcile to generate some buzz. But after observing the reactions of netizens, the crew found that the attention paid to your reconciliation was far less than the buzz of the two female stars fighting each other.

"Especially since Yu Anan is the female lead, even though she is a young star and has been in the industry for four or five years. But now she is being bullied like this by a fledgling young singer like you, which really attracted a lot of sympathetic fans.

"So the crew's strategy is to have you continue to play the villain during the subsequent promotion and publicity. To put it simply, you can let yourself go during the promotion and bully Yu Anan in any way you want. The bigger the incident, the better.

"It just so happens that Yu Anan is also a punching bag in the drama. This not only attracts traffic to the drama, but also makes it easier for the audience to relate to it. It's killing two birds with one stone!"

Zhou Hui's face darkened as she spoke. After a pause, she continued, "These people are really shameless. They dare to come up with such a shameless plan. If they really do this, the show will be a hit, the crew will make money, Yu Anan will become a star, and all the criticism will fall on Xixi. How dare they say that!!"

Zhou Hui was shaking with anger, she was really disgusted this time.

Lin Xiao and Han Xixi exchanged glances, and the two of them were calm and in harmony with each other.

Lin Xiao asked: "If the crew dares to make this request, there must be some conditions in exchange, right?"

Zhou Hui said with a dark face, "Yes! "Night Wind Hua" is produced by Yu Anan's agency, Lixing Media, which is also a well-known big company in the industry. Lixing Media promised that if we agree to this publicity plan, after the show is over, Yu Anan will cooperate with Xixi to whitewash, and Lixing will sign a long-term cooperation agreement with us, and at least five drama OSTs will be sung by Xixi within two years."

Lin Xiao's face brightened when he heard this.

These days, it’s not easy to write songs, and good songs are hard to find.

As soon as the truly good songs come out, they will be snatched away by the superstars and will never flow into the market.

It is difficult for a singer to succeed if he cannot create his own songs.

Although most of the OSTs in film and television dramas are catchy songs, they are a very good career development direction for young singers.

After all, once a drama becomes popular, the theme song and interludes will most likely become popular as well.

With an entire drama as its MV, this song will accidentally become a classic even if its quality is a little poor.

This is a good opportunity for the singer to come to the fore.

So from this perspective, the conditions offered by Lixing are quite sincere.

Unfortunately, they found the wrong person - Han Xixi may lack resources and connections, but he has no shortage of songs.

"Ignore them, they're a bunch of lunatics!" Lin Xiao said.

Zhou Hui nodded, looked at him with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "When I received the call, I directly retorted to them. The quality of their own drama is not good, so they would come up with such a crooked trick, sacrificing Xixi's reputation to achieve Yu Anan's career. They are so shameless to say so..."

Zhou Hui was obviously very angry. She was usually not a talkative person, but today she couldn't stop cursing.

That's pretty much the end of the matter.

But Han Xixi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "I think we can give it a try!"

When these words came out, Lin Xiao and Zhou Hui were stunned.

"Xixi, are you kidding?" Zhou Hui asked in surprise.

"No!"

Han Xixi smiled brightly and said, "Yu Anan's fans are still scolding me everywhere. Even if I act out a sisterly relationship with her at a promotional event, no one will believe it."

After these words were spoken, neither of them responded.

Han Xixi continued, "Besides, since the crew and Yu Anan's team have this idea, even if I want to play the role of a loving sister, they won't cooperate. They may even deliberately continue to smear me online in order to attract traffic for the TV series and win sympathetic fans for the heroine, isn't that right?"

This made both of them frown again, and when they thought about it, it was indeed true.

"In this situation, whether I clarify or acquiesce, it will only make the situation worse and achieve the purpose of the crew's hype."

Han Xixi remained calm and smiled gently, "In this case, we might as well agree to their request and cooperate with the crew's plan to perform this scene.

"Anyway, this drama will be finished in about 20 days, and Li Xing has promised Yu Anan that she will cooperate with us to whitewash her name. I've got a big contract and a long-term meal ticket, so isn't that a win-win for everyone?"

She said it very seriously.

Zhou Hui found it hard to accept. She was stunned for a long time before asking, "Xixi, are you serious?"

Han Xixi nodded: "Really? I've been criticized for so long, I'm used to it, I don't mind if I get criticized even more!"

Zhou Hui was speechless.

I wondered in my heart, maybe this girl had PTSD because she had been scolded too harshly recently?

"I just have one request. We have to come up with the whitewashing plan, and Yu Anan must cooperate!" Han Xixi said with a smile.

"..."

Zhou Hui knew that this matter was too big and did not dare to make a decision on her own.

Then he looked at Lin Xiao for help.

It means: Your wife is crazy, you should take care of her!

Lin Xiao was silent for a while.

When Xixi said this just now, he was observing her reaction.

After more than half a year of contact.

He thought he understood this girl: she was simple-minded but very smart, introverted, but able to keep her composure in big occasions.

She is not someone who can be easily led by others, nor is she someone who can be hurt by a few bad words.

So now.

Lin Xiao was sure that she was not saying this out of anger or self-destruction, but because she really wanted to agree to this plan.

But Lin Xiao also realized that this girl’s idea was not as simple as just “cooperation”.

She has her own plans!
As for what the plan was, he had no idea.

Now.

Faced with Zhou Hui's request for help, he was powerless to help.

To be more precise, this is my wife's own business. I just gave her some reference opinions, but the final decision-making power still lies with her.

After thinking about it, Lin Xiao said, "Xixi, go ahead and play if you want. No matter what the consequences are, I'll take care of them!"

After hearing this, the two women looked at him puzzledly at the same time.

Lin Xiao smiled casually: "There is no scandal that can't be solved by a good song. If there is, then use two songs!"

Zhou Hui's eyes lit up when she heard this!
Xixi's eyes were full of smiles, and she looked bright and cheerful, as if she had someone to support her.
