The Queen's Rise to the Top

Chapter 458

Today's hairstyle is a short bob cut, which Nan XiangWan strongly requested.

Monica had no choice but to take off the feather hair extensions she had painstakingly attached previously.

Nan XiangWan felt much lighter and more comfortable without them!

But to match today's look, Monica trimmed and dyed her short hair back to black, giving it a capable and futuristic feel.

The outfit was very bold - a crop top and pants with cutouts.

In addition, Monica added some small accessories, including earrings, anklets and a necklace.

Xiao Dong even made a special trip back to the Ji mansion to retrieve Nan XiangWan's RM052 skull watch.

This would be the second time she wears this watch on stage.

After the full costume and styling, Nan XiangWan was imbued with a strong futuristic tech vibe.

But this tech look needed to be hidden, so next Monica brought out a large red cloak, with an enormous hat, enveloping Nan XiangWan completely.

Nan XiangWan looked at herself in the mirror, very satisfied.

With the cloak and hat on, she had the feel of a flame sorceress.

Flipping the hat and throwing off the cloak, she immediately transformed into a warrior!

The clash of these two looks was exactly the feel she wanted today.

Monica was also very pleased, and couldn't help boasting: "I definitely have better taste than Jing Da Shuai."

Nan XiangWan: "Why squabble, you old married couple?"

Monica: "Humph!"

After the styling was complete, Monica left with her assistants.

Strangely, after dinner Old baby Yang Rongjun still hadn't dropped by, which was odd.

Nan XiangWan craned her neck looking towards the door, what's up with Old baby today?

In the resting room next door.

Yang Rongjun, Zhong Lingfei and Wei Sha were together, brows furrowed, discussing the online comments and skepticism.

Ever since screams had emitted from Nan XiangWan's room, these three had started to worry.

Yang Rongjun: "You two are from Northern Entertainment right? Has your company made any moves?"

Wei Sha: "Of course, President Zhao and Hua Wan Entertainment's President Shao have been worrying together daily, thinking of ways to handle this."

Zhong Lingfei: "Useless, this matter can only be resolved by Nan XiangWan herself."

Yang Rongjun: "She doesn't seem bothered at all, I saw just now Xiao Dong walked by my room, carrying a 10-layered lunch box!"

Zhong Lingfei: "Well...she's gotta eat."

Wei Sha: "Still a bit worried though, Nan XiangWan may have a carefree attitude, but she's not made of iron."

Yang Rongjun: "Did she get into college or not? If needed I can contact some international music academies, several of them are pretty good, with her talent it'd be easy to get in."

Zhong Lingfei: "I thought the same, this girl's musical gift is exceptional, she can play any instrument. I saw the exam she took recently, her scores are decent, getting into college shouldn't be too difficult right?"

Wei Sha: "I suspect she did get in, but had no plans to announce it. Who would've thought the winds would turn against her like this."

Yang Rongjun: "Argh! So annoying, why not just ask her directly? I'll go ask!"

Zhong Lingfei: "Yeah, ask directly!"

Just as they spoke, Nan XiangWan appeared in the doorway.

The three in the room immediately fell silent, as if caught red-handed.

Nan XiangWan: "You guys were talking about whether I got into college?"

Yang Rongjun: "Uh..."

Zhong Lingfei: "Child, don't mind us, it's fine if you don't want to say."

Nan XiangWan: "But I don't mind saying."

Yang Rongjun: "No worries, it's starting soon, go get ready!"

Nan XiangWan: "???"

She left reluctantly, looking back several times.

The remaining three looked at each other awkwardly.

Wei Sha said blankly: "Teacher Yang, Teacher Zhong, what happened to asking directly?"

Yang Rongjun: "*cough* I was afraid of upsetting the child."

Zhong Lingfei: "*cough cough cough!*"

Wei Sha: "See you two later."

Wei Sha walked out directly, heading to Nan XiangWan's waiting room.

Nan XiangWan was eating fruit after dinner. Seeing Wei Sha come in, she generously pushed the fruit tray towards her.

Nan XiangWan: "Xiao Dong bought a lot today, have some."

Seeing Xiao Dong wasn't around, Wei Sha closed the door and sat down, smiling at the girl in front of her.

Nan XiangWan: "Sister Wei Sha, what's up?"

Wei Sha reached out and stroked her hair: "Took out the extensions again?"

Nan XiangWan: "Yeah, don't like hair extensions."

Wei Sha: "Short hair looks good on you too, all our Northern Entertainment kids look good."

Nan XiangWan: "I'm not your kid Sister Wei Sha."

Wei Sha: "*cough*, I see all you young ones as kids."

Nan XiangWan: "Oh, then have some fruit."

Wei Sha: "Rare to see you being so generous. So did you get into college?"

After asking, Wei Sha was extremely nervous, staring intently into Nan XiangWan's eyes.

If Nan XiangWan cried or showed distress, she'd never forgive herself!

But no, Nan XiangWan answered naturally: "Yup, got in."

Wei Sha's eyes lit up: "Which college? What major?"

Nan XiangWan: "People's Liberation Army National Defense University, Music Department of the College of Culture."

She could reveal this much, Han Ting had instructed her to do so.

Wei Sha: "Ahhh!!!"

Nan XiangWan was startled: "Yo Wei Sha sis, just scream but don't vocal fry right at my ears! That high note went straight to my eardrums!"

But Wei Sha kept screaming: "Ahhhh!! Ahhh---!!!"

Nan XiangWan silently edged away from her, unable to take it.

After screaming her fill, Wei Sha looked at Nan XiangWan excitedly, face completely flushed, seemingly wanting to say something but held back in the end.

Slap!

She slammed the table hard, then rushed out the door, continuing to yell while running up and down the hallway.

"Ahhh ahhh!"

Wei Sha was truly overjoyed, wishing she could immediately tell the whole world, wishing she could go slap those antis' faces!

Nan XiangWan watched this sudden maniacal sister in shock and confusion.

Xiao Dong came back from the bathroom and asked: "Boss Nan, what's up with her?"

Nan XiangWan shook her head blankly: "I have no idea."

Whatever, let the crazy one be crazy. She continued eating fruit.

In the next room, Yang Rongjun and Zhong Lingfei stared at each other in horror, watching Wei Sha running and shouting outside their door. Their expressions were identical masks of shock.

Yang Rongjun: "Don't provoke her."

Zhong Lingfei: "This is bad, what did Nan XiangWan say to her?"

Yang Rongjun: "I have a hunch, better not ask, or the next to go crazy will be us two."

Xiao Dong closed the door and started massaging Nan XiangWan's shoulders: "Sing well later Boss Nan, need me to massage your temples too?"

Nan XiangWan was already used to Xiao Dong's pre-performance pampering routine, she pointed to her shoulders: "Don't need head, here."

Xiao Dong immediately shifted locations, massaging while coaxing: "Light or heavy pressure? Want me to get some ice?"

Nan XiangWan: "No need, throat's good today."

Xiao Dong: "Mmhmm, Boss Nan's throat is always good, heavenly voice."

Nan XiangWan kept eating fruit expressionlessly: "Keep praising, don't stop."

Xiao Dong: "My Boss Nan is like a goddess descending upon the mortal world, divine soldiers and generals descending, demonic possession!"

Nan XiangWan: "......"

Let's refrain from mentioning demonic possession.
