Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 562 - 559

The next day, Ye Zhenzhen realized she was being hugged by Song Jinze as she turned over. Her leg was still draped over his waist, and her hand seemed to be placed where it shouldn’t be.

It had to be said, the man was domineering and authoritarian, that was a fact, but so was his good physique. The contour of his waist was tight and defined, and the abs were distinct; the feeling to the touch, hmm... how should it be described...

It was much more real than in her dreams.

She looked up to see his dark eyes tightly shut and intended to quietly move her hand and leg away, but as soon as she barely moved her leg, it was held down by the man’s large hand.

"Don’t move!"

Song Jinze’s voice was deep and hoarse, devoid of warmth.

Ye Zhenzhen frowned; it was that commanding tone again, so annoying, she really didn’t like hearing it.

He wanted her to stay still, so she deliberately moved.

He wanted to sleep, so she deliberately wouldn’t let him rest.

The agreement was to live a normal life. He wouldn’t inquire about her work, she wouldn’t bother whether he had to work overtime or go on business trips and wouldn’t come back home. If there was time, they’d spend weekends with the child, wasn’t that a pretty good life?

But this jerk suddenly wanted her to quit the scene. Did he think he could control everyone just by being overbearing?

The more Ye Zhenzhen thought about it, the angrier she got; her hands roamed under the blankets, kicking away the warm air within. It seemed she found an outlet for her frustration, and even the pent-up feelings from last night started to dissipate a bit.

However, she had not kicked around under the blankets for long before she realized that something was amiss...

Their eyes met, and the dark glint in the man’s gaze made her realize she might have gone too far. A guilty smile curled on her bright little face, "I... I’m going to check what time it is..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the man holding her flipped over, trapping her completely. His gaze upon her was fiery and intense, "Not continuing?"

His hot breath lightly brushed against her slightly flushed face, warming her up right to the core, softening her resolve with embarrassment.

She pursed her lips and stubbornly retorted, "Tired."

"Then let me take over."

Ye Zhenzhen’s breath hitched; she felt a scorching tingling sensation at her waist and immediately raised her hand to push against his firm chest, "No, it’s not right... we haven’t walked..."

"Really?"

At such a moment, the man wouldn’t give her a chance to argue. His large hand captured both of her slender wrists and lifted them high above her head, while the other hand ventured lower...

Yet, the man who had reached a firm conclusion certainly wouldn’t let her go.

Ye Zhenzhen was startled and quickly said, "Song Jinze, didn’t you say you wanted to think about it? You..."

Her body shivered uncontrollably.

"Zhenzhen, I have to go on a business trip this afternoon..."

"..."

"I’ll be back in three days."

Ye Zhenzhen said irritably, "What’s that got to do with me."

"It has everything to do with you, because, I will miss you."

Ye Zhenzhen: ...

No, she couldn’t be bewitched by the man’s charming voice no matter how pleasant it was.

"Wait a second!" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Song Jinze: ...

He swallowed hard, restraining his quickened breathing, "What is it?"

"Weren’t you the one who wanted to think it over last night? If you haven’t figured it out, don’t touch me!"

She was really angry, so angry!

Looking at her embarrassed and annoyed expression, cute and charming, Song Jinze couldn’t help but laugh silently, "You don’t have to quit the industry. Let’s do as you said."

Last night, when she went to tell Xiao Chen a story, he seriously considered it in the study. The thought of other men coming into contact with her was indeed unpleasant to him.

But she had also said that she would avoid and eliminate such interactions.

Since it was her passion, naturally, he couldn’t squash that passion...

"Really?"

"Mhm."

Ye Zhenzhen seemed not to have expected his compromise to come so quickly, "Then..."

Just as she was about to say something else, the man leaned down and kissed her, "You don’t need to worry about anything, from now on, you have me."

"..."

On the set.

During a break from filming, Ye Zhenzhen received a call from Dong Yan, who invited her to attend GK’s fashion dinner.

This was also her first public appearance after signing the endorsement deal for the luxury brand image.

For GK, Ye Zhenzhen’s performance at the dinner was very important; likewise, her appearance that evening was even more crucial for her career.

Because Dong Yan said there were some disagreements about the spokesperson at QM, apart from Ye Zhenzhen, they had two other preferred candidates. One was Liu Qing, a popular actress with both talent and fan following in the industry, and the other was Qiu Wanshuang.

Thus, Ye Zhenzhen’s performance at the dinner would be the standard by which QM would determine the final spokesperson.

Moreover, Qiu Wanshuang had already met with QM’s highest domestic official last night, and she too was determined to secure the endorsement.

Putting aside Qiu Wanshuang for the moment, as for Liu Qing, Ye Zhenzhen had recently heard about her on the set; Director Yang had worked with her before.

Considered a female actor with formidable overall strength in the industry, she wasn’t much older than her—just by a couple of years—and was already a popular actress. Her face wasn’t only exquisite and perfect, but also very suitable for the big screen.

"Zhenzhen, I hope you can secure this endorsement. It will be good for both you and GK. Also, besides the Dennis couple, their CEO Jason will also be attending the dinner. You should prepare carefully, and I will be there to support you," Dong Yan said.

"Okay, thank you, Chairman Dong."

Shortly after, Liu Rui also came to the set with the news, and she had more detailed and accurate information than Dong Yan.

"Zhenzhen, QM is not just looking for a spokesperson this time. They want to shoot a workplace movie using their own jewelry brand, in honor of their founders, Anna and Daisy," Liu Rui explained.

Hearing about the movie, Ye Zhenzhen’s interest grew even stronger. "QM has dual founders, so will their movie also feature dual female leads?"

Ye Zhenzhen had already learned during a dinner with the Dennis couple over the weekend that QM’s founders were two legendary women: Anna from France, and Daisy, a compatriot.

"Yes, dual female leads. One from the domestic scene and another from France. Perhaps their list isn’t limited to just three people—the competition is fierce!" Liu Rui mentioned.

A smile curled at the corners of Ye Zhenzhen’s lips. "A challenge is only worth it if it’s competitive. Tomorrow, I’m going to Ancheng for filming. Help me coordinate the recent scenes and publicity schedule. This Sunday evening, I’m attending GK’s dinner."

Liu Rui was overjoyed upon hearing Ye Zhenzhen’s words. "I’ll arrange everything properly and be your strongest support!"

"Oh, by the way, Zhenzhen, I’ve collected two good scripts of very different styles, both quite promising, with the female lead role specified for you to choose from."

Liu Rui had originally thought that if Ye Zhenzhen were to compete with Liu Qing, it seemed there was no chance of winning. But seeing Ye Zhenzhen’s fighting spirit, she suddenly felt it was possible!

Liu Qing, when compared to their Zhenzhen, had merely debuted a few years earlier, was just a few years older. Give Zhenzhen a few more years, and she would be a popular actress too.

Ye Zhenzhen took the scripts and placed them in her bag. "Alright, I’ll find time to look at them."
