The Substitute Bride: Indulged by the Obsessive CEO

Chapter 312: Brain Gone Haywire After Applying Facial Mask

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The final list of contestants who made it through the auditions came out on Monday. The elimination round started on the same day.

The elimination round would be judged by the three judges.

Contestants must get at least 2 votes from the three judges to avoid elimination.

Over 5,000 people auditioned in the first round and only 100 contestants made it through. They would now compete in the elimination round.

Only 50 contestants would remain after the elimination round.

The elimination rate was 50%. Very brutal!

Tang Beibei went to Fu Jin’s studio to train and heard everyone talking about the competition. When the other trainees saw her and Ruan Qi walk in, they smiled.

“Beibei, Ruan Qi, although you didn’t make it to the next round, I heard that you have an account that posts dance videos. You can cheer for us there. If we win, it’ll still be a glory for the dance troupe.”

Ruan Qi’s lips twitched. They were using the dance troupe’s reputation to blackmail them.

“No, thanks.” Tang Beibei said.

Xi Tong said, “Beibei, I can understand your reluctance. You must feel awful for not making it to the next round.”

“But you have a husband and probably don’t care about the prize money. If you help to promote us, we can pay you for the efforts if we win the championship.”

Chen Xixi added with a smile, “That’s right. It’s good news no matter who among us wins. Beibei, why not be generous and help us out?”

The other trainees also nodded, hoping that Tang Beibei would let them use her account.

Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi’s account had more than 2 million followers. They could be considered influencers.

Ruan Qi couldn’t take it anymore and took out her golden ticket and showed it to them.

“What Beibei meant when she said no is that we’ve also made it to the next round. Why don’t the ones who get eliminated in the next round use their account to promote us and help us get votes?”

Everyone looked at the golden ticket she was holding in surprise.

They felt like they had been blatantly slapped in the face.

“Why haven’t you mentioned it before? How did you suddenly get your golden tickets? Don’t tell me…”

They did not dare to say the rest of the words out loud, which was to the effect of getting the tickets under the table. But everyone looked at each other and felt strongly that they might have gotten their golden tickets under the table.

Tang Beibei calmly took out her golden ticket. There was a date time stamp on it. Once a contestant passed their audition, the three judges would write the contestant’s name, serial number and sign their golden ticket to add a sense of ceremony.

“I went for my audition towards the end because I had to attend classes and finish my homework. I could only audition after I finished my homework.”

The corners of the mouths of the other trainees twitched.

Ruan Qi then added, “It’s just passing the audition, not winning the championship. We didn’t need the whole world to know.”

Xi Tong and Chen Xixi, who mocked them just now, looked embarrassed. The others also rubbed their noses to hide their embarrassment and hurried to their training.

Ruan Qi kept her golden ticket and said to Tang Beibei in puzzlement, “Your results are better than theirs. Where did they get the confidence to assume that they passed their auditions and you couldn’t?”

Tang Beibei was confused. “Is it because I’m ugly?”

Ruan Qi pinched her face in exasperation.

Who told her that she was ugly?

That person must be blind, the kind with zero vision in their eyes!

As every trainee in Fu Jin’s dance troupe made it to the next round of the competition, they had all become competitors and started training harder.

Other than reading, Tang Beibei spent most of her time practicing her dance.

Even before she went to bed, she hummed her dance music, stepped onto the bed, tiptoed, and spun around. She only stopped when she heard the man call her.

“Obedient Beibei, come lie down here.”

Tang Beibei lay down obediently and blinked her round eyes.

“Hubby, what’s up?”

She had already soaked her feet before bedtime, so she didn’t expect to do anything else.

“Let me apply a facial mask on you. The air has been very dry and your skin is dry.” Jiang Jingchen took out a facial mask.

He had bought her these sheet masks, but she never used them. So, Jiang Jingchen decided to do it himself.

After she lay down, he opened the packaging, unfolded the mask and put it on her face.

“Hubby, do it with me. I’ll apply yours for you.” she said with a smile.

Jiang Jingchen was smoothing out the mask on her face when he heard her say she would do his for him. He didn’t refuse.

Tang Beibei sat up and applied a facial mask on him. She carefully smoothened his mask and lay down beside him again. Their heads were leaning against one side of the bed. She raised her foot and bumped it against his knee.

Jiang Jingchen moved away slightly but the woman deliberately played the same prank again, so he lifted his foot and pressed her knee down.

The two of them fooled around for a while and raised their legs together. Tang Beibei compared the size of her feet with his.

“Hubby, your feet are so big.”

“Yes, and yours are very small.”

He wore size 42 shoes while she was only a size 36. In comparison, her feet were indeed very small.

Tang Beibei suddenly sat up, pointed at her chest, and said with a smile, “I also have big things.”

Jiang Jingchen laughed in amusement and held her hand. “You have a big heart, and you are blessed.”

“What blessed? They are a burden when I dance.”

Tang Beibei looked down at her breasts with a bitter expression.

Jiang Jingchen propped himself on his elbow and said with a smile, “Our future kids will be very well fed.”

Tang Beibei was stunned for a few seconds before she lay down and sighed. “I won’t mind them since they are still useful. But from a medical point of view, the ability to breastfeed has nothing to do with size. It’s more about the mother’s health.”

Tang Beibei turned to look at his confused face and realized that she was talking about professional medical knowledge that he might not understand. “Hubby, have you been tired from work recently?”

“I’m not tired. My department head indulges me at work.”

Tang Beibei chuckled. She thought that Jiang Jingchen’s boss indulged him because of his good performance at work.

“That’s because my husband is amazing!”

Jiang Jingchen turned to look at her, then suddenly climbed on top of her with his hands on her sides.

“Your husband isn’t only amazing at work. He’s also not bad when it comes to…”

Tang Beibei blinked and pointed at the facial mask on her face. “Hubby, no matter how amazing you are, you’ll only be eating the essence in the facial mask if you kiss me.”

Jiang Jingchen laughed. Seeing that it was about time, he took the facial mask off her face and brought her a towel to clean her face. He then reapplied toner, facial serum, and moisturizer on her face.

“Hubby, do I look better after applying the facial mask?”

Jiang Jingchen questioned her instead, “Your brain has gone haywire after applying a facial mask. How can you ask such a question?”

Tang Beibei puffed her cheeks unhappily, feeling like she’d been insulted.

So, she was ugly.

After Jiang Jingchen fixed her face, he kissed her on the cheek and said, “My Obedient Beibei, you’re a beautiful fairy even if you didn’t use a mask. You don’t need to change anything.”

Tang Beibei rolled around happily in bed. She loved talking with her husband because she was always in a good mood after talking with him.

Tang Beibei and Ruan Qi choreographed their own dances for the elimination round and trained hard for six days.

But the two besties weren’t afraid of showing each other their dances. They would critique each other and improve their dances bit by bit.

On the seventh day, the elimination round started.

The auditions weren’t broadcasted on television, but the elimination round would be.

Since half the contestants would be eliminated, the atmosphere was tense in the studio.

The contestants did their makeup backstage. They could also have a feel of the stage by walking on it, but they couldn’t stay long onstage.

Fu Jin brought his trainees onstage to have a feel. He pointed out the camera positions and talked them through their timing and dance movements when facing the cameras.

The contestants were usually briefed by the director on these things but the director for the live show was too busy to care about them.

When it was about time, Fu Jin brought his trainees off the stage and said to them solemnly, “Focus on the competition. When you are onstage, nothing else is important. The most important thing is to respect the stage and respect yourself!”

The few of them nodded solemnly. After Fu Jin left, they went backstage to prepare.

Tang Beibei was walking when Ye Lan suddenly collided head-on with her, making her take two steps back.

Ye Lan turned her head and looked at Tang Beibei blankly. She didn’t say anything and continued to walk forward absent-mindedly..
