"You..." Ran Xueyi stared at him in surprise and disbelief.
She was wondering what wind brought him here, but she remembered Adelle's last message to her.
As expected, as soon as Song Yu Han appeared behind Shen Yi, everyone's gazes fell on him. However, the dark emperor didn't seem to notice this or perhaps, he simply didn't care how many eyes were looking at him.
"Woah! Where did you come from?!" Shen Yi jumped in a fright as he didn't sense the man standing behind him at all.
Song Yu Han totally ignored the startled Shen Yi and stepped a bit closer to Ran Xueyi, who was staring at her in shock too.
Seeing her looking stupidly at him, Song Yu Han felt something scratching his heart, making him unable to stop himself to reach his hand out and pinch her cheeks.
Thankfully, he held himself back at the last second and said, "I came to pick you up. Are you done here?"
Shen Yi interjected, "Hey, wait! Who are you? I already offered her to go with me. You can't just appear and take her away!"
Song Yu Han raised his eyebrows and turned around to face Shen Yi.
Previously, Shen Yi didn't get a clear view of the man's face and thought that this was another man who came to pick on Ran Xueyi. Shen Yi didn't want anyone to take his place and ruin his plan. And so, he courageously faced the other person without actually knowing what kind of wall he was going to face.
But now that the tall man turned his body to face him, Shen Yi couldn't help but feel his body shivering with cold.
The man was too overbearing in aura; cold and majestic. Not only that, he was a head taller than Shen Yi, who was very proud of his 180 centimeter height!
Most importantly, why did he have to be someone who possessed such a handsome face! Can somebody please tell him?!
Sadly, nobody could answer him nor read his thoughts because everyone was also going crazy in their minds, wondering where such a drop-dead gorgeous man came from and what was his relationship with Ran Xueyi?
Shen Yi felt his current state of mind was shaken to the core by the man's sudden appearance and beautiful face. He couldn't quite make a good sentence and speak well, it was as if there was a cotton candy stuck in his mouth and whenever he opened it, it melted and tasted so sweet.
When all things were hopeless, somebody came forward to help him.
"Apologies if I may be a bit rude, but have we met before?"
It was Director Xiao, who came to his rescue, well not exactly.
Song Yu Han moved his gaze towards Director Xiao and after two seconds, he said, "No. I don't think we've met."
Director Xiao was not dejected upon hearing this and replied, "Oh, then, maybe I was mistaken."
"In any case, you've come to pick up Ran Xueyi, right?" Producer Long quickly interjected. "If it's alright, why don't you two stay a bit longer? Everyone still wants to talk with you, Ran Xueyi. And this handsome guy, you can also stay for a drink, right? By the way, may I know what's your connection to Ran Xueyi?"
All these questions were meaningless, but the latter couldn't be said to be the same. Everyone was also interested to know the answer to this question.
Even Ran Xueyi wanted to know how will Song Yu Han answer Producer Long. If he confessed to everyone that they were not just acquaintances but married to each other, Ran Xueyi will not stop him nor will she deny it. On the contrary, she didn't want to stop him and will support his decision to go public now.
They'd kept the truth for too long now. Three years ago, after getting married, they had to keep the truth of their marriage from everybody mainly because of her status as an actress. She had just returned from a long hiatus and announcing that she was married the very soon she came out to the public will surely break many of her fans' hearts and backfire on her instead.
Another reason for their secrecy was for their peace and for them to get to know each other deeper since they went through a contractual and flash marriage instead of the traditional kind where it was love before marriage.
And it really worked well. After all, now that they had been through so much, their feelings became too deep that they couldn't leave each other for another.
Everyone waited for Song Yu Han's reply.
But the man himself was a tease. He also delayed his response for a few seconds, letting everyone's imagination run wild before he finally opened his lips and spoke.
"I'm her assistant manager."
...
Inside the car.
Ran Xueyi bursted out in laughter after finally leaving the premises of the hotel where the others were still partying. The red light was on and they had to stop in the middle of the road with the other cars when she could no longer restrain herself and showed her true self.
Song Yu Han watched her silently.
Ran Xueyi slowly wiped the tears that were on the corners of her eyes.
She wondered, "Why didn't you tell everyone the truth? You had the chance to do that and it was in front of everyone!"
"No." Song Yu Han shook his head.
"Why?"
"Not enough..."
Ran Xueyi quickly frowned. "What do you mean not enough?"
Song Yu Han reached his hand out and held her by the chin to give her a light kiss on the lips. Then, he said, "Not enough crowd. I want to announce us being together in front of a lot of people where everyone will have to accept the truth whether they like it or not."
Earlier, the people inside the room were too few for his liking, thus he didn't confess that they were indeed married to each other. Well, he could have done it, but it wasn't what Ran Xueyi deserved to get.
What she deserved was not for anyone to look at her title as his wife. He wanted everyone to recognize her for who she was. Song Yu Han was willing to wait for her to achieve the greatest achievement she could get and then have the grandest wedding the world could ever witness.
Ran Xueyi gave a start before a satisfied smile was on her lips. She didn't think that Song Yu Han actually wanted something so great for the two of them.
Though Ran Xueyi could reveal everything to everyone, since Song Yu Han had a plan for their future, she had no qualms with it and fully gave her support.
At this time, Jia Yi was standing outside the lobby, dazely staring at the empty front entrance of the hotel. Earlier, a supercar was still parked in front of it and she saw Ran Xueyi getting inside of the car, but she was unable to see who was with her, only a glimpse of a tall man in a white shirt and black pants.
Looking down at the picture she secretly took, she couldn't help but feel a bit excited. Could it be that her words actually came true? Does Ran Xueyi really have a sugar daddy who helped her secure all the resources and awards to herself?
"That supercar... isn't it a limited version released last month?" Jia Yi muttered to herself under the cloak of the night. It should cost at least tens of millions of dollars to get one and the brand only produced three copies of it in the entire world!
Could it be that that tall man owns it? But he looked a bit too young... where could he have gotten a lot of money to buy a car like that?
Jia Yi assumed that the real 'owner' of that supercar was hiding inside that car or somewhere else. She also thought that the tall guy she saw a glimpse of earlier was just the driver seeing as how entered the driver's seat. He might be taking Ran Xueyi to a place now where she and her 'sugar daddy' could spend some time together.
Thinking like this, Jia Yi couldn't wait for Steffanie to make her moves so she could send the picture she took just now to some media companies whose line of job was aimed to capture any sensational stories and celebrity gossip.
She was sure that many will approach her and buy the picture from her!
Wait... maybe if she presented it to her company's president, he might secure her a good film or any resource she wanted!
Jia Yi now decided against showing these to other people and headed back to her apartment while 'patiently' waiting for Steffanie to start up a scandalous issue about Ran Xueyi. After that, she will show the picture to her agency's president!
