Childhood Sweethearts: He's Jealous Again!
Chapter 563: This Contestant

Chapter 563: Chapter 563: This Contestant

Viscount Li slightly curled his lips and said formally to the young girl, "Contestant, don’t be dazed. Come and draw a lot."

"Oh... oh!" Tong Mo finally snapped back to reality and hurriedly walked up to stretch her hand into the box, grabbing a piece of paper at random.

Each slip of paper in the box described the scene the auditionees were to perform.

The scene Tong Mo drew was— the heroine had just traveled through time.

There were also a few lines of dialogue attached.

Although there were only a few lines, performing this scene well was not so easy.

First, you had to portray the heroine’s panic and bewilderment as she arrived in an unfamiliar environment, but this element could not be too overwhelming; otherwise, it would make the heroine look stupid.

Of course, playing it too lightly wouldn’t work either—it would make the heroine appear too calm.

After pondering for a moment, Tong Mo immediately put down the slip of paper and lay down directly on the wooden floor.

In the novel, the heroine died from a bomb during a mission, and her soul traveled to the North-South Continent and possessed the body of a drowned general’s daughter.

At this moment, Tong Mo slowly opened her eyes and when she found out she was still alive, a flash of confusion and bewilderment appeared in her pupils.

"I, I was already dead, wasn’t I?"

Tong Mo wrinkled her brows and slowly tried to move her body up.

"Where is this? Why is everyone dressed in ancient attire?"

She performed with immense dedication, managing both her lines and subtle expressions very well.

Together with her simple clothing and slightly sickly makeup, it further added a sense of immersion.

It was as if she had really traveled through time.

In an instant, a hint of amazement flashed through everyone’s eyes.

Especially the author of the novel, who was so excited, it was as though he saw his own heroine stepping out of the book.

"She is the heroine I want!" the author hastily discussed with the producer and director, seeing if they could cast her.

However, the director, who had already been bought off by Tong Aiguo, shook his head and whispered, "Weren’t we agreed that the heroine had already been decided as Tong Nian? How can you change your mind now?"

"Alright." On hearing this, the author immediately showed a look of disappointment.

However, the next second, they heard Viscount Li beside them clapping his hands, smiling, and saying, "That was very well done."

He smiled as he looked into the girl’s eyes, his face filled with adoration.

Tong Mo couldn’t help touching her head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

This was her first time acting in front of someone familiar.

Especially since this person was her lover.

Their interaction left everyone present stunned.

My God!

Viscount Li had actually openly praised a girl!

Everyone in high society knew about Viscount Li’s ruthless disposition and his indifferent and cold attitude toward women.

Oh... that’s not right!

He was very good to his fiancée.

With this thought, the producer and others suddenly turned their gaze back to Tong Mo.

Upon closer examination, they realized.

This Tong Mo was... Viscount Li’s fiancée!

No wonder Viscount Li personally attended the audition!

Now everybody understood that Viscount Li had invested in this drama for his fiancée.

The producer, possessing a keen sense of understanding, immediately exchanged a glance with the director and whispered, "The leading lady for this film is Tong Mo."

"No way. Wasn’t it agreed upon that it would be Tong Nian?" The director, already bought off by Tong Aiguo, was not willing to change his decision now.
