Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Chapter 486 A Chameleon In Disguise

"What do you mean?" Ran Xueyi was slightly perplexed when she heard what Adelle told her after she was done filming one of her scenes.

Adelle repeated the conversation she overheard between Shi Yun and his manager and was slightly thirsty after talking too long.

Guo Yun shot her a look and took a cup of water from the water dispenser that was near them, handing it to her and watching her drink all of it.

When Adelle was finished retelling what she came across near the canteen, she eagerly looked at Ran Xueyi, who sighed and smiled at her.

Ran Xueyi knew that what happened to Shi Yun and his manager must have bothered Adelle's righteousness but some things can't be rushed so she could only say, "Shi Yun's matter is something we can't interfere. But since he's a part of this film crew, he is naturally under our care so nothing will happen to him. So, don't worry too much. His manager won't take him anywhere unless Director Daren throws him out."

The possibility of Daren Wang throwing out Shi Yun was slim but not impossible. At worst, he might reduce him to become an extra if his acting skill was not satisfactory according to his role.

Adelle still wanted to say something but Ran Xueyi's words were not wrong. Shi Yun was not part of Chestnut nor he wasn't the only one who was suffering from this type of circumstances. Some have already fallen into the abyss of despair through force and some willingly jumped down the cliff of greediness and success.

Ran Xueyi knew what she was feeling but there really was nothing she could do. Even though prostituting oneself to gain benefits in the entertainment world was not rare, it is something that will never stop unless the demand for it vanishes, which had almost 0 percent of it happening.

"It's not that I can't do anything about Shi Yun's situation. However, I need him to voluntarily look for my help. That's when I can fully support him," added Ran Xueyi.

Adelle thought about it and nodded, "I'll find a time for you two to talk."

Ran Xueyi hummed a response when she saw Guo Yun's expression that was slowly darkening. But it quickly disappeared just as it appeared when he noticed her looking at him, giving her a warm and gentle smile.

Heh, she found a Chameleon in disguise.

Adelle seemed to realize that she brooded over this matter for long and returned to her manager mode, excusing herself to deal with Ran Xueyi's contracts and scripts.

Finally alone with Guo Yun, Ran Xueyi tilted her head with an amused smile as she stared at him, "Are you worried someone's going to steal her away?"

"I don't know what you are talking about?" Guo Yun was a little bit nervous.

Ran Xueyi didn't expose him since he was still trying to hide the truth from him when she had already discovered everything from a long time ago as she aimlessly spoke about Adelle.

"Adelle is a good manager, pretty, and has a good figure." Ran Xueyi swished the straw in her fruit drink. "But she's a little bit innocent and dense at times. Even though she's older than me, I'm worried that a bad person would end up taking her from me."

The first part, Guo Yun secretly nodded in his heart. When he heard the last part of her words, he was feeling a little bit of anger when he imagined some man taking Adelle away.

Ran Xueyi still acted as if she didn't see the way his eyes glinted dangerously and sighed, "I know Adelle has been feeling somewhat lonely when she moved in with me. But if she really likes someone and is willing to be with them then I will fully give them my blessing."

"Ah, now thinking about it... Shi Yun looked pretty good and his figure seemed great too. I wonder if Adelle will also find him attractive when she comes looking for him later?" Ran Xueyi worriedly bit her lips and added, "What should I do if they ended up developing feelings for each other? A heroine saving a distressed gentleman. I guess I don't see any problem if Adelle ended up liking him."

Bang!

The door in the dressing room was suddenly closed with a loud noise. The person who was standing across from her was long gone before Ran Xueyi could react.

In the end, Ran Xueyi let a peal of laughter out of her lips as she inwardly cheered Guo Yun on his venture to get Adelle.

But her entertainment soon turned into misery because not even two minutes after Guo Yun left, Song Yu Han entered and looked at her intently.

She didn't know what the treacherous secretary told her husband but she knew that it must be something that wasn't good just by looking at Song Yu Han's face.

Moving with grace as he walked towards her before leaning forward, trapping her with his thick arms in her seat, Song Yu Han grinned darkly and asked, "Wife, is it true that you found someone attractive and good looking. Of course, I know my wife won't say these things about a man other than me, her husband... But I still want you to say it."

Guo Yun, you pitted me!

Ran Xueyi inwardly panicked and nervously laughed, "Did I say that? I don't think I said that..."

Song Yu Han: "Really?"

Ran Xueyi: "...Yes."

"That's a relief," replied Song Yu Han as he kept their current position. He looked down on her lips and leaned forward to land a gentle kiss on it, "Reward for being honest."

Ran Xueyi shivered: "...R-reward? Would you punish me if I lied to you?"

Song Yu Han raised an eyebrow and continued to smile at her, "What do you think?"

"Naturally, I would have to punish you if you lied. Otherwise, you won't be reminded that the only man you can call handsome and attractive is me."

Ran Xueyi: "..."

...

Ran Xueyi returned to the set over ten minutes later.

Under Daren Wang's suspicious glare, she moved to prepare herself for her next scene.

Who knows when the young director suddenly appeared beside her and she heard him say, "Stop reading the script. Wipe that smudge on the corner of your lips and button up your shirt."

Ran Xueyi paused and slowly moved her head to look at him.

Daren Wang: "What?"

She didn't respond to him as she took a mirror to look at herself. Daren Wang did not lie to her. There really was a tiny smudge of her lipstick on the corner of her lips. It was not obvious but if someone stood close and took a closer look at her face, they would notice it.

Ran Xueyi fearfully no longer inspected what happened under her shirt as she religiously buttoned herself up while thinking of how to tell Song Yu Han not to come to her dressing room for the time being because every time he comes around, they would end up doing something.

Daren Wang clicked his tongue disapprovingly before snorting impatiently, "Tell me honestly, are you two still in your honeymoon phase?"

Ran Xueyi could not conjure a reply as she turned red from the embarrassment of being discovered by someone who was a few years younger than her. Especially someone whom she never thought would find out about her relationship with Song Yu Han.

"Get ready for the next scene!" Assistant Director Qing called for everyone's attention.

It took Ran Xueyi only a few seconds to calm herself down and remove all unnecessary emotions as she embodied the role of Crystal, a blind young woman.

As the day quickly passed, the intense and full shooting that day finally ended.

As the main crew gathered in the center to discuss if they should add some more scenes when Assistant Director Qing suddenly said, "Let's talk about this after taking one day's break. It's been weeks since we started filming without a stop. It won't be a good thing if we continue on like this."

Ran Xueyi, Song Yu Han, Daren Wang, Tie Lin, and surprisingly, Shi Yun, who only arrived that day, gathered around for a short meeting.

When they heard Assistant Director Qing's words, they couldn't help but agree with him. Daren Wang also nodded his head in approval thinking that everyone really needed a rest before the final shooting.

So, he agreed without another word.

Seeing that nobody disagreed with him, Assistant Director Qing sighed in relief before he went to say, "There's a banquet dedicated to the Old Director Sun. Not a lot of people are invited since it's a private banquet but as his best friend, I can extend this invitation to everyone." He turned to look at them one by one and asked, "What do you think?"

Ran Xueyi knew who Old Director Sun was as she worked with him in the past. She also received an invitation from him but she didn't respond to it yet because she was filming.

Now that Assistant Director Qing brought it up, she didn't reject it and said, "I'll go to the banquet. I'm also one of the student's who learned a lot from Director Sun so I should attend."

Assistant Director Qing happily nodded his head and waited for everyone's decision.

Since someone had already agreed to go, no one else rejected and said they would also go.

Feeling excited, Assistant Director Qing was glad to know that someone like Song Yu Han also agreed to go since he's a man that was renowned for ruthlessly rejecting any type of parties and banquets.
