Zhao Fei worriedly banged her fist against the wooden surface of the door and shouted several times. Last night, she left Ran Xueyi alone with that man while thinking she could trust Ran Xueyi's character and mental state as an actress.
After all, Ran Xueyi should be able to resist a man's charm since she already met several handsome men in the actor's circle, right?
However, when Zhao Fei returned to her room and went to bed that night, she completely forgot one important thing.
She could trust Ran Xueyi's judgment and character, but could she say the same thing for that man?
Thus, the second that Zhao Fei opened her eyes the next morning and woke up, she immediately dragged a haggard-looking and sleepyhead Feng Huai from his room and had him take a copy of the keycard of Ran Xueyi's hotel room while she made her way to the actress's room.
Feng Huai rubbed his eyes and found Zhao Fei still banging her fist on the door. He slowly approached her and yawned, "Sister Zhao, why are you so loud in the morning? Aren't you afraid that someone would report you to the police for making such loud noises?"
Zhao Fei glared at this pure and innocent young man and harshly scolded him, "I don't care! I only care about what will happen if I don't take this door down and get Ran Xueyi out of there!"
Feng Huai was confused. "Why? Is Sister Ran in any danger? Did that Witch Gu bully her again?"
Zhao Fei didn't even get to reply to his question when she saw Feng Huai looking alert, and all the gentle and child-like expressions on his face disappeared. He pulled back his sleeves and was moving forward as if he was about to take the door down.
Just as he was about to rush forward and body-slam the door, the door was opened from the inside and Ran Xueyi peeked her head out from the small gap of the door.
"Sister Ran! Good morning!"
Ran Xueyi saw Feng Huai's adorable smile and almost reached her hand out to rub his head. She covered her impulse to rub him with a cough and looked at the two standing outside her door.
"Sister Zhao, Xiao Feng, what are you two doing out of here?"
Zhao Fei looked unimpressed and raised a seething eyebrow, returning the question back to her, "Why do you think?"
Ran Xueyi replied with a confused face, "Ah?"
Zhao Fei felt her heart tightening as she moved her face closer and whispered to her closely, "You really don't know what I'm talking about?" Seeing Ran Xueyi's baffled expression, she could already guess that it was indeed the case. It did not make Zhao Fei relax one bit. Instead, it infuriated her even more and she fumingly said, "Ran Xueyi, might I remind you that you're still not back to your previous peak. Don't make trouble before you can take the title as the Film Empress!"
Ran Xueyi also no longer tried to act like she didn't know what Zhao Fei was deeply concerned about.
She sighed and told her, "Sister Zhao, I know what you mean. But I can't do anything about this matter. Anyway, can I ask you to take Xiao Feng away from here? I can't sneak my guy out if you two are standing here?"
Zhao Fei agreed to this. The only people who knows about Ran Xueyi's marriage should be her, Feng Huai was still not ready to take this information in and he was also just starting his career as an assistant. Even though Feng Huai was an honest and sincere child, no one could really fully trust anyone in their circle. One rumor could start a nationwide scandal and destroy somebody's life in just a matter of a second.
Besides, it was Ran Xueyi, her artist's request, to not tell anybody else about her secret. And so, Zhao Fei didn't reveal it to anyone.
"Let's go, Xiao Feng," said Zhao Fei as she grabbed Feng Huai from there.
Feng Huai scratched his head and looked aggrieved. He woke up early due to Sister Zhao's insistent shouting and screaming that someone would steal Sister Ran from them. But now, she was pulling her away as if nothing happened.
After the two of them entered the elevator, Feng Huai rubbed his left ear that turned extremely red after Zhao Fei pulled him by the ear as they left that floor. "Sister Zhao, what happened to you? Did you suddenly get possessed by an Alarm Clock Spirit? Why did you go to our rooms and wake us two?"
Hearing him, Zhao Fei sent him a glare.
However, instead of being a scaredy cat, Feng Huai seemed to be still half-asleep and dared to meet Zhao Fei's intense glare with his innocent puppy eyes.
Zhao Fei accepted her defeat. She couldn't win against Feng Huai and sighed. In any case, she couldn't tell him the truth and say that the reason why she went over to wake the two of them up was because she's afraid that Ran Xueyi would be too exhausted to even stand up after a long nightly activity with her husband.
"That's right, that's right. I was momentarily possessed by a ghost. Now, shut up!"
Feng Huai nodded and accepted this reasoning without any problem.
Back inside the room.
Ran Xueyi closed the door after shooing away two noisy people. She leaned her back against the door and released a deep sigh of relief before raising her head to look ahead.
With his arms crossed over his muscled chest and leaning one side of his body to the wall, Song Yu Han was staring at her with an amused expression.
"Did they leave already?"
Ran Xueyi nodded while walking over to the water dispenser and poured herself a clean, warm water. She drank the entire water in her glass before telling him, "The one banging the door earlier is my new manager and agent. Her name is Zhao Fei. As for the puppy-like young man following her, that was Feng Huai, he's also my new assistant."
Ran Xueyi did not get to discuss her current and future plans with Song Yu Han. He shouldn't have known about Zhao Fei and Feng huai until he came to the city. Though she doubted that he hadn't heard of them from his people.
As expected, Song Yu Han answered, "I know..."
His answer confirmed Ran Xueyi's guess from earlier. Wu Qi must have told Song Yu Han about the matter with Gu Jiao and the changing of scripts, forcing him to come out and personally handle things on his own.
Ran Xueyi believed that despite what it appeared to other people, Song Yu Han didn't really come to meet with Chief Producer Li to demand answers about the modification and deletion of scenes in the film. Rather, he made a trip to Silver City especially to help her manage her back garden and also slap people who bullied her. Not that Ran Xueyi couldn't do it herself.
Song Yu Han must have been thinking it was his duty and responsibility as her husband to protect her from any kind of harm.
To other people, this might have been too forceful and overbearing, however, Ran Xueyi thought that this was not the case at all!
Rather, she enjoyed his attention and help.
No one has ever done this to her in the past, and he was the first person to do this without her asking for help from him.
Besides, weren't they husband and wife? Why should she act shy and refuse his help?
While thinking of this, Ran Xueyi suddenly remembered something and asked him, "You drove three important people out of the film crew... Does this mean, I'm currently unemployed?"
Song Yu Han didn't expect that she would put this in that way and chuckled. He walked over to her and grabbed her tiny waist as he said, "No... before coming here, I already told my assistant to look for a new director and scriptwriter to overlook the filming. As for the producer position... Chief Producer Li already proposed to manage the whole crew and actors in the film."
"And what about the second female lead and supporting character?"
"Well, if you can help producer Li to look for a suitable actor, maybe you could suggest someone?"
Ran Xueyi thought about it for a few seconds before shaking her head. She hasn't been up-to-date to the activities and talents of several actors and actresses in the entertainment industry so she wouldn't blindly recommend somebody to act a role in the film. If she did that, and that person ended up not being suited to the character he or she was going to play in the film, wouldn't that destroy the link between the actors and scenes?
Song Yu Han didn't force her either to recommend anyone and they left the topic about looking for new artists to end.
And just as Ran Xueyi thought that that morning would be uneventful, she noticed that the buttons of the white shirt she was wearing was slowly becoming undone by his swift fingers.
Looking up, she gave him an inquisitive glance and got an instant reply from him... Or more precisely, the hard thing that kept on rubbing against her lower abdomen.
Ran Xueyi: "..."
