Chapter 472: Chapter 468: The Popular Superstar
"Uh... there’s no harm in touching here, right? Whether a woman has flesh or not is mainly shown in the chest! Come on, girl, let me try..."
"Hmph, no need, I’m not skinny!" Zhou Xun snorted lightly.
"Hey! Not skinny, huh? Hehe, I don’t believe it, I need to feel it myself, it’s been a long time since I tried this feeling!" Lin Mu said, and before Zhou Xun could react, Lin Mu pinched Zhou Xun’s chest—a firm elasticity that was truly tempting!
"Indeed not skinny, not only that, it seems even fuller, haha!" Lin Mu grinned.
"Annoying, can’t you say something nice? If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth!" Zhou Xun hit Lin Mu and said.
"Haha, what I said is good, isn’t saying your chest is big a compliment? No woman in the world wants a man to say her chest is small, right?" Lin Mu winked at Zhou Xun.
"Hmph, smooth talker, I’m ignoring you!" Zhou Xun turned her head, pretending to be angry.
"Hehe! Okay, my bad, alright? I’ll apologize to you, let’s go, I’ll treat you to dinner!" Lin Mu hugged Zhou Xun’s shoulders and patted them.
"That’s more like it, hmph, let’s go, I’m going to eat you into poverty today!" Zhou Xun said.
"Sure, I’m willing to let you eat for a lifetime!"
"Hmph, then I’ll eat you broke!"
Chatting away, Lin Mu drove with Zhou Xun to a downtown western restaurant, parked the car, and walked in together.
Inside the western restaurant, Lin Mu ordered some pastries and drinks, and started chatting with Zhou Xun!
"Big star, how are the advertisements going recently?" Lin Mu asked.
"Not bad, I’ve been filming several ads these days, all broadcast during prime time on a few provincial TV stations!" Zhou Xun nodded as she spoke.
"Hehe! That’s great, now you’re slowly approaching second-tier stardom, it won’t be long before you become a bona fide first-tier star!" Lin Mu said.
Zhou Xun nodded and said, "Being a first-tier star would naturally be great, I really have to thank President Ren for nurturing me. President Ren invested heavily in me for advertising. Honestly, if it weren’t for President Ren, I’d probably still be hovering around third-tier status."
Lin Mu certainly understood the relationship between Elder Ren and Zhou Xun, as Zhou Xun is Elder Ren’s son’s illegitimate daughter. After all these years, they finally found Zhou Xun, so naturally they want to treat her well. Elder Ren’s actions for the love Zhou Xun missed out on are understandable and not surprising at all!
"Haha, since it’s like that, seize the opportunity well. I’m hoping for a big star wife!" Lin Mu grinned and said.
"Hmph, you smooth talker! No matter how hard it is, I’ll strive to improve, and seize this great opportunity for fame. I feel like such an opportunity might be very difficult to come by again, so I have to cherish it!" Zhou Xun nodded as she spoke.
"What do you think of President Ren now?" Lin Mu asked with a smile.
"He seems really nice. Actually, I have a special feeling towards President Ren, a feeling I can’t describe, like family, almost as if I knew him before. Hehe, but that’s just a feeling. How could I possibly know such a big shot like President Ren?" Zhou Xun said and shook her head helplessly.
In Zhou Xun’s heart, she’s just a nobody, abandoned, with a low status and background, unlikely to know someone of Ren Changfeng’s stature!
Lin Mu looked at Zhou Xun and laughed without telling her that Ren Changfeng is her grandfather. Not only does she know Ren Changfeng, but she’s also his biological granddaughter. Lin Mu has wanted to say it multiple times, but held back each time!
Lin Mu didn’t know what Zhou Xun’s reaction would be when she found out: excitement? or resentment? Lin Mu couldn’t be sure, so it’s better to wait until Zhou Xun’s career stabilizes before telling her. It’s also better for Zhou Xun herself!
"By the way, big star, has President Ren ever said anything special to you?" Lin Mu asked.
"Special things? What sort of special things?" Zhou Xun asked puzzled.
"Like asking you about family matters or something!"
Zhou Xun shook her head and said, "No, President Ren has never brought up such things with me. But he takes great care of me, very attentive, almost like a real grandfather!"
Lin Mu nodded. Of course, because he is your real grandfather! But listening to Zhou Xun, it seems Elder Ren also doesn’t want Zhou Xun to know about this, at least not yet!
Really can’t predict how the big star will react upon knowing President Ren is her grandfather! Lin Mu sighed subtly and shook his head. Since Ren Changfeng arranged for him not to reveal it, Lin Mu was happy to play dumb.
"Haha, I also feel President Ren is great, he really values you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t spend so much money on nurturing you!" Lin Mu said.
"Yes, President Ren said recently that once I finish filming these ads and gain some popularity, he’ll guide me towards an acting career!" Zhou Xun said.
"Hehe! That’s great, when the time comes, I’ll give you a push too. Don’t worry, with my current financial strength, if I want to help you get famous, it would be hard for you not to!" Lin Mu said, slightly bragging.
Zhou Xun nodded and looked at Lin Mu. Actually, whether she gets famous or not doesn’t matter much to Zhou Xun now. The reason she’s working so hard now is to be worthy of Lin Mu in terms of her status. In her heart, she’s long considered Lin Mu the only choice for a future partner!
The women around Lin Mu, like Qi Manlin, Sophie, or Xiong Xiaoxiao, no matter who they are, have deeper backgrounds than her. Even if Lin Mu doesn’t care, Zhou Xun always has a hurdle in her heart, always feeling uneasy. So, Zhou Xun wants to work hard—since she can’t match them in background, she’ll surpass them in personal achievements! To become a successful actress with extraordinary talent, absolutely not just a pretty face.
In essence, this is a weak person’s self-esteem. Clearly, what Zhou Xun is thinking is completely irrelevant to Lin Mu. Lin Mu doesn’t care at all about Zhou Xun’s identity!
For Lin Mu, the most important thing is undoubtedly the heart and the self, not the external factors like identity or background! But Zhou Xun wouldn’t think like this. It’s a problem of one-sided self-esteem for the girl. Zhou Xun believes that only when she succeeds can she be with Lin Mu boldly, and even if Lin Mu has other women around him, it wouldn’t matter!
This is the deep expression of a pure woman in love with a man. In Zhou Xun’s heart, she’s already madly in love with Lin Mu! Of course, this love doesn’t mean she can casually give herself to him. It’s because she loves him that she would only give everything to him when she can match him! This is a pure love woman’s thought!
Therefore, as long as Zhou Xun succeeds and overcomes that hurdle in her heart, she’ll give herself to Lin Mu without hesitation, and be devoted forever!
