Chapter 475 - 396: Changes to the Honor of Kings Tournament System, the Auditioning Male Actor

The moment Wang Jiale walked in, she saw two pairs of shoes by the entryway. To her surprise, one was a pair of men’s casual shoes!!!

The scattered sofa cushions, a uniform, and wet spots on the floor made Wang Jiale frown.

’This can’t be right. Mom’s not the messy type!’

Wang Jiale took a few steps forward. Just as she was about to pick up a cushion from the floor, she heard a faint noise.

Clutching the cushion, Wang Jiale stood still and listened carefully for a moment. Her expression grew complicated.

While she may not have had firsthand experience, she’d seen plenty. From secretly watching certain movies with her roommates at school to occasionally walking in on her father and stepmother’s "evening exercises," Wang Jiale’s theoretical knowledge was, suffice it to say, extensive.

The thought that her mother, who always presented herself as a powerful career woman, could have such another side to her, combined with the noises from within the room, made Wang Jiale instinctively reach out and grab the doorknob.

An image of a Japanese adult film she’d secretly watched with her roommates flashed through Wang Jiale’s mind, sending her imagination running wild.

*Click.* With a soft sound, she found the door was unlocked.

Wang Jiale pushed the door open a crack and quietly peeked inside.

However, the room was too large. Through the crack, all Wang Jiale could see was the bathroom door.

Judging by the direction of the sounds, Wang Jiale deduced they were probably near the head of the bed. To see anything, she would have to push the door open and go inside.

In the end, Wang Jiale couldn’t muster the courage. She took two steps back and gently closed the bedroom door.

It was her first time doing something like this, and Wang Jiale felt her heart pounding out of her chest. Her hands trembled. She knew from biology class that it was because of a massive adrenaline rush!

"Phew!"

She sat on the sofa, and it took a long while for her to calm down.

’Nope! I’m just going back to my room!’

Wang Jiale glanced toward the master bedroom, then hastily dragged her suitcase and stumbled back to her own room.

More than ten minutes later, Wang Jiale emerged from her bedroom dressed in a schoolgirl uniform and began putting the scattered cushions back in their proper place.

As for the crumpled uniform on the floor, Wang Jiale simply picked it up and tossed it aside before taking out her phone to play with it distractedly.

’How are they still making noise after all this time? Didn’t those urologists I read about online say that three to ten minutes was normal?’

’Did I read a fake magazine or something?’

’I mean, the male leads in those movies are hand-picked! They’re definitely way more impressive than the average guy!’

Just as Wang Jiale’s mind was racing, the master bedroom door creaked open.

Wang Jiale had no time to hide. A young man walked out of the room. He had a powerful build, with clearly defined abs and pectoral muscles.

But what drew Wang Jiale’s gaze even more were his powerful thighs... and that familiar face!!!

’Holy shit!’

Wu Yun had strolled casually out of the master bedroom, not expecting to find a pretty girl of about seventeen or eighteen sitting on the sofa, staring right at him.

Caught completely off guard, Wu Yun instinctively covered himself and scrambled back into the room.

"What’s wrong, honey? Weren’t you going to get some water?" Zhou Shuwen asked, confused.

"There’s someone out there! Didn’t you say you were home alone?" Wu Yun said, hastily putting his clothes on.

Zhou Shuwen, who had been lounging on the bed, immediately sat up, oblivious to the blanket slipping off her. She smacked her forehead in frustration. "Damn it! My brain’s a total sieve! I had so much fun drinking with you last night that I completely forgot my daughter was coming today! I just assumed she’d call... I can’t believe she took a cab here on her own!"

Speaking of her phone, Zhou Shuwen remembered it was still in her purse, which was sitting in the entryway.

"Honey! Could you grab my purse for me? No, on second thought, let’s just go out together."

Zhou Shuwen’s face flushed. This was the first time she’d ever had to deal with something like this, and she racked her brain for how to handle it as she got dressed.

Soon, dressed in loungewear, Zhou Shuwen led Wu Yun out of the room. They were met with the sight of Wang Jiale sitting on the sofa, a peculiar expression on her face.

"Jiale! When did you get here!?" Zhou Shuwen asked with an awkward laugh.

Wang Jiale first glanced at Wu Yun, who was now sipping from a glass of water, before replying, "I’ve been here a while, Mom! No wonder you weren’t answering my calls. You were too busy hiding your handsome boy toy!"

Fortunately, Zhou Shuwen wasn’t easily embarrassed. Besides, she considered herself an open-minded mother. She smiled and said, "Come, Jiale! Let me introduce you two. This is your..."

Zhou Shuwen trailed off, hesitating. She had no idea what she should tell her daughter to call Wu Yun.

"You don’t have to. I know who he is," Wang Jiale said, standing up. The image of Wu Yun’s physique from earlier flashed through her mind, and she couldn’t help but gulp.

Hearing this, Zhou Shuwen was surprised for a moment, but then felt a sense of relief. With how famous Wu Yun was, it wasn’t impossible for her daughter to recognize him.

Thinking her mom was confused, Wang Jiale explained, "Wu Yun is super famous at our school! The teachers are always using him as a benchmark to compare us against!"

Wang Jiale glanced at Wu Yun, who now looked curious himself, and continued, "Our teachers say stuff like, ’Look at him! He’s only two years older than you, and you’re all still begging your parents for allowance! Meanwhile, he’s already a renowned tycoon in this country!’"

"’By the time you graduate college, he might just be the richest man in the nation! How can the gap between two people be so vast?!’"

Wu Yun just smiled and said, "I was just lucky."
