“Wanyuan, why did you call me?” Yan Ci did not bother with the fan on the floor. It had been a long time since he had contacted Xia Wan Yuan. He did not expect her to take the initiative to call him.

“I wanted to ask if you have Fu Li’s contact number?”

Pa, the deer in Yan Ci’s heart fell to its death.

“Yup. I’ll send it to you.”

“Okay, thank you.” “No need.”

After hanging up, Yan Ci sent Fu Li’s contact details to Xia Wanyuan. Seeing Yan Ci’s dejected expression, the manager couldn’t help but tease him.

“What’s wrong? Have you fallen out of love?”

“Mm.” Yan Ci was listless.

“What the f*ck?!” The manager gulped down the water in shock and almost choked to death. “Ancestor, don’t scare me. When did you start dating?!”

“One-sided love.” Yan Ci rolled his eyes at his manager. “Why are you panicking?”

“..” The manager’s heart started beating again, but when he recovered, he was a little curious. What kind of woman could make Yan Ci fall in love?

After obtaining Fu Li’s contact information, she gave him a call.

“Hello.” It was a clean and steady voice.

“Best Actor Fu, do you have time to come out for a cup of tea?” Fu Li was about to decline when the other party added, “I’m Xia Wanyuan.”

“Okay.” Fu Li agreed.

‘When he arrived at the place Xia Wanyuan had mentioned, Fu Li pushed open the door and entered. A pair of glassy eyes looked towards him.

“Nice to meet you.” Although Fu Li was already in his thirties, he was still handsome and tall. The years had left behind a resolute look on his body, but it didn’t leave any traces on his face.

“Hello.” Xia Wanyuan gestured for Fu Li to sit down. “Thank you for taking care of ‘Moon As Frost’.”

No matter how much money “Moon As Frost” offered, it was impossible to hire someone with such a high status like Yan Ci.

Xia Wanyuan had been wondering why Yan Ci was acting in this movie. When she heard that Yan Ci and Fu Li were close brothers, she figured it out.

“There’s no need to thank me. Your script is very good, and your filming is also not bad. Yan Ci has praised you to me before. There aren’t many people in the entertainment industry who can receive a word of praise from him.” Since Xia Wanyuan knew, Fu Li no longer hid it.

Actually, Yan Ci had more than just praised Xia Wanyuan. He was full of praises for her.

Fu Li looked seriously at Xia Wanyuan, who was sitting in front of him. She was elegant like an orchid, exquisite and clear.

Initially, he thought that the saying ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ applied to Yan Ci. But now, it seemed that even the praises from Yan Ci could not compare to the true person’s gracefulness.

“Senior, I asked you out today mainly for one thing.” Xia Wanyuan took a sip of tea. “Do you like Tang Yin?”

“_.”Bu Li’s hand paused. “We’ve been friends for years.”

“You like Tang Yin.” This time, Xia Wanyuan sounded very certain.

Fu Li wanted to retort, but when he met Xia Wanyuan’s frosty eyes, it was as if all pretense had lost its meaning.

“Miss, you’re really very smart.” Fu Li smiled bitterly and finally admitted it. “Why are you looking for me now? You want me to tell Tang Yin that I like her? I know her better than you do. If I take this step, I’ll really lose her. I don’t even have the right to be friends with her.”

Tang Yin only remembered that the first day she met Liu Xingchuan was in the garden of the Film Academy. However, on that day, Liu Xingchuan’s roommate, Fu Li, was standing by the garden as well.

‘Tang Yin and Liu Xingchuan fell in love at first sight.

No one knew that that arrogant smile had also fallen into Fu Li’s heart.

“Do you know why they broke up back then?” Xia Wanyuan probed.

Fu Li tightened his grip on the cup. Even someone as refined as him could not hide the pain in his eyes.

“It seems like you know.” Xia Wanyuan understood.

Fu Li didn’t even need to reply. The huge regret that seeped out from his body already explained everything.

“The night Liu Xingchuan proposed to Tang Yin, I was drunk. When I woke up the next day, I heard that they had broken up. I went to find Tang Yin happily, but she went missing and cut off all contact with us.”

Fu Li had never told anyone about these things. Today, when he told Xia Wanyuan about it, he was shocked to realize that these things had been hidden in his heart for so long. When he brought them up, his heart still ached terribly.

Before Xia Wanyuan asked Fu Li out, she had checked Fu Li’s information.

He clearly came from a wealthy family, yet he followed Tang Yin into the entertainment industry after graduation.

Five years ago, after Tang Yin’s incident, Fu Li and Liu Xingchuan broke up and left the country. This year, Tang Yin returned to the entertainment circle and Fu Li returned to China.

“Tang Yin is going on a vacation soon. This is her itinerary.” Xia Wanyuan handed a stack of documents to Fu Li.

“What do you mean?” Fu Li looked at Xia Wanyuan in confusion. “She’s such a proud person. She won’t accept me. I just want to stay by her side. It doesn’t matter even if we become friends forever.”

“alright, then I’ll look for someone else. When the time comes, you’re welcome to be her best man.” Xia Wanyuan retrieved the document and was about to leave when Fu Li stopped her.

“Give it to me.” Fu Li took the document over.

Xia Wanyuan smiled. “Call me if you need anything.” Then she got up and left.

Fu Li watched Xia Wanyuan leave, sighing inwardly.

It would be great if such a good girl could be together with Yan Ci.

Xia Wanyuan had just walked out of the cafe when she received a call from the company.

The company had not contacted her in person for a long time. After Xia Wanyuan hung up, she drove to Star Creation Entertainment.

From the moment she entered the office, she realized that the company’s executives were acting strangely.

He was being overly polite. It could even be said that he was being careful.

“Miss Xia?” The management of the company was still in a state of speculation. He wasn’t sure if Xia Wanyuan was truly the wife of the Jun Corporation, but his instincts told him that he had to treat her well.

‘The manager chuckled. “Tang Yin is on leave. There’s an event that requires your personal opinion. If you’re willing, we’ll take it. If you’re not, we won’t take it.”

“What event?”
