Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

After giving a brief and friendly greeting to the other auditionees, Ran Xueyi sat down next to another actress named Yang Ruolan. The woman was beautiful; her short chestnut hair stopped right below her chin, her Phoenix eyes crinkled as she smiled, and the small, but sharp nose looked adorable.

Ran Xueyi knew long before that there were others who would audition for the lead roles.

So, she wasn't that surprised or nervous when she saw these young actresses and actors inside the waiting room. Instead, she greeted them one by one with a polite smile before heading towards her seat. She didn't need to act overly close to these people.

After all, inside the waiting room; they were all rivals.

After sharing a few words with each other, the room fell into deep silence. Not just a minute later, there were already some people who looked at their phones, scan through their scripts, and read out their lines.

Unlike the previous audition for the movie << The Great Empress' Love >>, this was far more professional and peaceful. Nobody gossiped with one another, nobody tried to insinuate a fight, or try to get connected to get more favors... Everyone was just too serious to actually start something.

When the staff called out for the auditionees to get ready for the audition, the door to the VIP room opened again. A young woman in a short white dress strolled in; her hair was long and straight; her waist thin and figure was dainty. She had the Oriental faces common for Asian people. If she smiled even a little bit, it would make everyone who laid their eyes on her feel comfortable and try to befriend her.

The newcomer strolled in the waiting room, and with an indifferent glance, she walked to an empty seat just right next to the door. However, just as she took her seat, she suddenly froze and whipped her head toward the other side. Her eyes widened; so large that it looked like saucers.

Ran Xueyi was similarly shocked and her eyebrows twitched slightly. Well, well...Now, look at this. Isn't this her younger sister, Ran Yue?

"You!" Ran Yue shouted abruptly, making everyone who was inside the room lose their focus and was startled by her voice. They all simultaneously frowned.

They all turned around and gave Ran Yue a glare, wondering what was wrong with her? Doesn't she know that inside the VIP room, one must remember to keep about their own business without disturbing other people?

Being stared at by everybody, Ran Yue flushed in shame. She felt that she lost a lot of face because of her exclamation.

Sending a glare at Ran Xueyi, Ran Yue gnashed her teeth. It was all because of her!

Quickly approaching her older sister, Ran Yue hissed: "What are you doing here?"

Ran Xueyi smiled and answered in a matter-of-factly tone, "The same reason why you are here."

​ "That can't be! You can't be here!" Ran Yue couldn't believe that this was really happening. "You already retired and quit the entertainment industry, you don't even have a place to return.."

"But I have, my dearest sister. And right now... it's here in this waiting room." Ran Xueyi flashed a bright, fake smile at her sister.

"But you said you're not planning to make a comeback! You said it to me last time when we talked," Ran Yue turned livid. She knew her sister's talent so she's terrified. "Besides, does mother and Yang Baihua know about this matter?"

Ran Xueyi almost wanted to laugh out loud at her sister's foolish thoughts. Did she actually think that she needed her mother and ex-fiance's permission to go back to the entertainment industry?

"Ran Yue... for the last time, I'm going to treat you nicely and act as your older sister..." Ran Xueyi leaned forward and reached her hand out. Her eyes were filled with venom and coldness that Ran Yue could never recognize. "Don't ever get in my way again. I will tolerate that lunchbox fiasco you pulled last time... But if you dare do that or anything that will make me disappointed with you again, I'll destroy the thing you love the most and let you experience the hell I've been through all these years."

Ran Yue swallowed hard. Her knees almost buckled forward when she met those cruel eyes that gaze into her own as if it could see through the darkest and deepest part of her soul.

She never knew her older sister could ever make such a terrifying expression. Ran Xueyi always showed her angelic, kind, and compassionate side to the family, just like how she would appear before the camera or in front of the fans; always smiling, never showing a flaw to anyone.

Maybe that was the reason why Ran Yue would always think that her older sister was always so easy to control and manipulate. With just one word from their parents or from Yang Baihua, she would bend over them and do what they ordered her to do without question.

But this was different... Ran Xueyi looked like an angel who had just plucked out her white wings and grew a pair of black wings of knives and daggers while burning flames surrounded it. The last trace of the good angel Ran Xueyi vanished into thin air.

By the time Ran Yue recovered from her shock, the staff member was already standing in front of her, and waiting for her while holding a box in her hands.

What happened? What did she miss? Ran Yue glanced at the people who were sending odd gazes in her direction.

"Miss Ran, please get a number from the box please." The staff member showed a frown. She has been standing in front of Ran Yue for a minute now.

In her confusion, she asked, "What number?" She refused to put her hand inside the box while knowing nothing about what it was for.

"Didn't you listen when we announced the new rules for the audition?" the staff member questioned and when she saw the confused look on the face of the young actress, she no longer needed an answer to the question.

The staff member sighed. "Director Yang thought it would be better to change the audition routine and put some challenge in it. The number you will get from the box will be based on what scene you will act inside the audition room."

Ran Yue finally understood, but she was still reluctant to put her hand inside the box. Looking at the other actors and actresses who already got their numbers, she felt a sense of danger.

Finally, under the urges of the staff member, Ran Yue got her number and her world started to crumble down on her.

[Scene #6]

Staring at the number written on the paper in her hands, she knew that she no longer had a chance to get the lead role. The scene she got was the most difficult one to play and act in the drama...

It was the scene where the main protagonist must fight against several assassins.
