Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

The theme was quite interesting to read. Even Ran Xueyi would be singing her praise for the director if she ever met him.

The electronic copy she received from Adelle was really short, glossing over the entire story, but still showing the important and interesting parts of it that any person who would read it would like to see in a script.

However, as she had just mentioned, the director was too young and a fresh graduate to boot. No big production crew would be willing to work with him. Ran Xueyi also doubted that there would be any sponsors or investors who are willing to invest in something that they are unsure of getting popular.

All investors and sponsors wanted to get back the money they gave away and in addition to that, the benefits they might get from the film.

Ran Xueyi could already tell that Director Daren was having a hard time looking for ways to produce his films. Producing a film, after all, isn't just about having the production team and equipment to shoot a film, it is also necessary to get an approval from the National Radio and Television Administration for permission to film and also get a license.

Without all of these, anyone could film any movies or TV drama they wanted to shoot, but they will never be able to be put outside the theaters nor online viewing streaming sites.

"It is all up to you whether you want to take the role or not. I am merely recommending it to you just like any manager would. But I, too, think that this film would rack up awards if it was to be filmed and played by suitable actors."

Ran Xueyi thought for a second before asking, "Does Director Daren have other films he had worked on before?"

"Why do you ask?"

"For a person to create such an excellent script, I need to know if he also has the talent to direct this film. Or is this just a one-sided talent of his." Writing a good script was one thing but directing a whole film with a hundred people in it was another thing. There was always a good reason why directors are paid more than those who worked in other departments in filming.

Hearing her say this, Adelle didn't answer. Rather, she pulled out her phone, swiped her fingers a few times on the screen before handing it to her.

Ran Xueyi raised an eyebrow but looked down to see what she wanted to show her.

It was a short film. A fifteen-minute long short film.

Usually, this was one of the projects that students from the Film and Media University are tasked to do. If they did well, they would be awarded first in their class. As someone who had graduated early from the Film and Media University, Ran Xueyi also did a short film before, but as the leading actress.

Without a word, Ran Xueyi watched the film. But after fifteen minutes, she didn't hand the phone back to Adelle. Instead, she clutched it in her hands and rewatched the short film a few more times.

How to say this? The short film she had just watched was a documentary type of film. It only has one character in it. However, the way the camera moved along with the actor's movement, the scenery around them, and even the subtle dialogues that were said as it portrays the actor's daily life for an entire week resonated with her.

It feels strange. Oftentimes documentaries are treated as nothing but boring films that one would be forced to watch. There are only a few times where you would watch one because the theme or topic was interesting enough for you to watch it.

But this...

"When was this filmed?" Ran Xueyi's first question was out of Adelle's expectation, but she still answered.

"Daren Wang filmed that short film when he was still a first year student. I heard that he was quite praised by all of his professors." It was expected since even Ran Xueyi was quite taken by the short film. Adelle, however, continued with a sigh, "But..."

"But?" Ran Xueyi did not like the suspense.

"I heard that a professor accused him of plagiarizing."

"Plagiarizing a person's daily life?" Ran Xueyi had a difficult time understanding where the hell did this notion come from.

Adelle shrugged. "My thoughts exactly. But thankfully, Daren and the actor who worked with him proved that there was no way they could have plagiarized anything since it was about the actor's life. Anyway, Daren Wang was able to keep his first place in the class. But he became a complete outcast ever since."

Ran Xueyi became even more thoughtful when she heard this. Her time in the university was also quite colorful. All sorts of students were there. More often, she would encounter people who are too arrogant and think the world revolves around them and steal the opportunities of others.

"Well, now that I think about it, if you choose this film, you won't be getting anything out of it. How silly of me. I completely forgot that Daren specifically said that he could only offer 3 million Yuan for the lead roles." Adelle grabbed her phone back and added, "Forget about it. I was so engrossed in the script that I forgot that this film could become a low-budget film. For your current status, playing in this film would be an insult to you."

If Ran Xueyi really accepted this film, people would only think that she couldn't find other offers and ended up taking trash just to film something. It would be the talk of the country for a while.

Ran Xueyi shook her head. "There's a blessing to every misfortune, Adelle."

"You mean?"

"I'm taking this film."

Adelle had to stare at her in a serious light. "Are you serious? I already said you'll be receiving 3 million yuan. Besides, the budget for this film is too low!"

Ran Xueyi smiled. "I'm not short of money. But you're right. The film might have too low of a budget, but I know someone who is itching to burn some money."

After a fifteen to sixteen hours of flight, Ran Xueyi went straight to the villa where she found Song Yu Han cradling their son in his arms to sleep. When Little Zhanzhan saw his mother, he quickly jumped off his father's arms and went to ask her to pick him up.

"Mommy, welcome home!" Little Zhanzhan showered her with smooches.

Ran Xueyi melted by this extreme display of affection and didn't refuse.

"You missed mommy already?"

"Yep!"

"Our cutest baby boy! Mommy also missed you!" Ran Xueyi returned his kisses. Even though they had already seen each other before they boarded the plane first, her little boy still missed her. How adorable!

A shadow fell on their figures and when Ran Xueyi looked up, she saw Song Yu Han looking down at them with his eyes heated up.

Oh boy, a certain someone needs kisses too.

There was no need for words to be said out loud.

Ran Xueyi raised her head. "I missed you too, hubby."

Song Yu Han chuckled as he hugged them both before kissing her deeply in the lips.

After tucking Little Zhanzhan to bed, Ran Xueyi walked to her husband's study and saw him talking over the phone. His voice was cold and authoritative. Since he was still working, Ran Xueyi didn't want to disturb him and looked around the room.

The villa was still the same place she bought last time. Song Yu Han offered for them to live in a bigger place, but she refused because this place was where they first created their memories together. Abandoning such a place like this was never part of her intentions. Because of this, Song Yu Han instead moved all of his things in the villa. He used one of the empty rooms and built his own study there where he could work while also staying at home with his family.

This gesture was one of the reasons why Ran Xueyi loved this man for an entire lifetime. He was willing to give up anything for the sake of her. Even though Ran Xueyi refused everytime, he still gave her everything.

She has nothing more to ask from him.

Ran Xueyi turned to strode to his desk, but he waved his hand at her as he moved his chair back.

Raising an eyebrow at him, Ran Xueyi wondered what he wanted, but he only patted his thigh and mouthed, "Come and sit on my lap."

Ran Xueyi shook her head and mouthed back, "You're working. I don't want to be a distraction."

"Standing there is already a distraction, Love." This time, he didn't whisper but said it out loud. Ran Xueyi glared at him. He was still on the phone, okay!

As expected, there were some noises coming from the phone as though someone was cursing and also panicking. She wondered who it could be?

As if reading her thoughts, Song Yu Han said, "My nephew.''
