The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife-Chapter 115: Sounds Like Mature Woman, Look Like Loli

Zhuo Bingbing and Chen Hang also had excellent chemistry. They sang the opening song and received thunderous applause from the audience. Next was an interactive segment between them and the audience, where a female audience member had the good fortune to join Chen Hang on stage to sing.

They performed a duet of "The One Who Cares."

Chen Hang acted like a true gentleman, and Wen Nuan smiled warmly; he really was a good person.

Wen Nuan also sang "Farewell Talk," the ending theme song for "Princess Qinglian." It was a beautiful piece, with both lyrics and music meticulously crafted by renowned industry figures.

The lyrics were catchy and rhythmic, making it more accessible to the general public than the opening song.

Wen Nuan possessed a lovely mezzo-soprano voice, with her lower register being particularly outstanding. Singing such poignant, intoxicating songs had an indescribable charm, further enhanced by her captivating, peach-blossom eyes. It was as if she had transcended time, returning to a bygone era.

Those were exceptionally beautiful eyes, truly captivating.

"Wow, Wen Nuan, my heart is racing! How can you sing so beautifully?" After Wen Nuan finished, Lin Jing walked out with a beaming smile, praising Wen Nuan to the skies.

Wen Nuan smiled shyly.

"Wen Nuan is beautiful, can act, and can sing. Princess Xiangxiang is truly a versatile talent," Xu Huanlin remarked with a smile.

Wen Nuan replied, "Bingbing, Chen Hang, Li Chengming, and Xueru can all do it too. We are the talents of ’Princess Qinglian’!"

Zhuo Bingbing and the others burst into laughter. Lin Jing continued to compliment Wen Nuan a few more times, then invited all the lead actors back on stage to sing an interlude from "Qinglian." Following this was another interactive segment, this time with Li Chengming, Wen Nuan, and Lin Xueru, featuring clever questions and answers, which kept the atmosphere lively.

The audience below cheered loudly. This wasn’t Wen Nuan’s first time experiencing such support from fans. It was a feeling of pride, and also the joy of being affirmed.

As the show neared its end, the two hosts, in a back-and-forth, suddenly asked everyone, "A writer from Jianghuai Daily once criticized artists for being very vain. What are your thoughts on this?"

Zhuo Bingbing chuckled, "My main reason for joining the entertainment industry is because I love performing."

Chen Hang smiled, "Yes, me too."

Li Chengming also laughed, "I was discovered by a scout during a talent show and signed with an agency. I love this stage."

Chen Xueru thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I think everyone has a bit of vanity, more or less. People say artists are vain, but everyone has vanity, don’t they?"

Lin Jing nodded while smiling and asked, "Wen Nuan, what do you think?"

Wen Nuan paused, then smiled faintly, saying, "I think he’s right. If I had no vanity, why would I enter the entertainment industry?"

Whether an actor or a singer, liking this stage, receiving affirmation, praise, and applause from the audience—these are all forms of vanity.

Who would dare say they aren’t happy when surrounded by fans and moviegoers?

Who would dare say they don’t want a large following of fans and moviegoers? This is a natural desire.

Even if she loved performing and the stage, she couldn’t deny her vanity.

This was something no one could deny.

Besides, this was a personality trait everyone possessed; there was no need to hide it.

There was a two-second silence in the studio. Xu Huanlin burst into laughter, praising Wen Nuan for her straightforwardness. Cai Xiaojing covered her face. "Oh, my dear girl, this is a live broadcast, a live broadcast! Even if it’s the truth, you should at least put on a polite front!"

"Look at Lin Xueru; she also agreed with the idea of artists being vain, but how subtly and artfully she put it."

The audience cheered loudly. Not only did Wen Nuan’s words not alienate her fans, but the cheers grew even louder. Cai Xiaojing also felt relieved; fortunately, there was no negative backlash.

The show gradually drew to a close.

After the show, Wen Nuan immediately went to the dressing room to change and remove her makeup. Cai Xiaojing waited behind her. Zhuo Bingbing and Chen Xueru were changing and removing their makeup together. Chen Xueru smiled, "Why were you so direct just now?"

"It should be fine, right?" Wen Nuan asked.

Chen Xueru smiled and said, "The show is live, so you really need to be careful what you say to avoid damaging your image. Luckily, it didn’t backfire on you tonight, and it’s also fortunate that you’re not a huge star yet. If an artist like Han Bi said something like that, it would definitely be headline news tomorrow, with a title like ’Big Name Actress Admits to Being Vain.’" freёweɓnovel_com

"Ah..." Wen Nuan was surprised. Was it really that exaggerated?

Zhuo Bingbing also said, "Yes, Wen Nuan, you need to be careful when recording shows in the future, especially live broadcasts. We’re not Director Lin Ning, who can say whatever he wants, even beat people and throw chairs. We’re just artists, and we must pay attention to how the public perceives us. This is very important. Tonight was just a small issue; just be more careful in the future."

The two of them lectured Wen Nuan, and she gratefully took their advice to heart.

The show was originally scheduled, and their lines were also pre-arranged. Only this question was spontaneous, and there had been no rehearsal for it. So, Wen Nuan simply spoke what was on her mind.

Chen Xueru smiled, "But I saw the fans in the audience react very well. They praised Wen Nuan for being frank. Not many people dare to be as direct as you."

Wen Nuan chuckled, "Do I sound like a mature woman?"

Zhuo Bingbing gave her a sidelong glance. "You sound like a mature woman, but you look like a loli."

Wen Nuan chased Zhuo Bingbing playfully. After removing her makeup, Wen Nuan greeted the hosts, the show’s producer, and other relevant staff before leaving with Cai Xiaojing.

Behind them, the show’s producer remarked, "This newcomer is quite genuine."

Lin Jing covered her mouth, chuckling. "Yes, she’s quite adorable. Oh, by the way, don’t we have promotion for ’Beauty Unparalleled’ coming up in this segment? We’ll get to be on stage with her again then."

Everyone laughed.

Xu Huanlin whispered, "I heard that Wen Nuan has very close ties with Anning’s top management. Her opportunities are too unique. Don’t you find it strange? Anning Jewelry’s spokesperson, her first TV series, and her first movie are all exceptionally good roles. I’ve been in this industry for so many years and haven’t encountered an artist with such good luck."

"Where did you hear that? Gossip magazines say she’s having an affair with Lin Ning, but I don’t think that news is reliable."

"It’s just hearsay, but they say she’s involved with several of Anning’s top executives."

"No way..."

"You can’t tell just by looking."

Zhuo Bingbing and Chen Xueru happened to overhear their gossip about Wen Nuan. Zhuo Bingbing remained nonchalant, as if she hadn’t heard anything, while Chen Xueru frowned and shook her head. There was no avoiding gossip anywhere; they were becoming numb to it.
