Qi Nian’s cheeks turned even redder, almost burning up, as she sneaked a glance at Yuran and muttered swiftly and softly, "I-I-I, I like you too."
Then she turned around and bolted away.
Yuran: "..." Why did it feel like a little girl just confessed to her?
Uh...
Qi Younian had already co up to her, looking puzzled at Qi Nian’s retreating figure, "Was that just now, my niece?"
Yuran nodded.
Qi Younian was confused, "Why did she run? She looked as if she’d seen a ghost, who’s chasing her?"
Yuran lied through her teeth, "Didn’t she run because she saw you coming?"
Qi Younian pointed at his own nose, "What are you saying? She ran because she saw ? What a joke, is that even possible? Forget it, let’s not talk about her, co on, follow ."
...
The film and television city in the Imperial Capital Suburbs.
This film and television city in the Imperial Capital Suburbs spans 300,000 acres, encompassing palace complexes from the Qinhan and Song-Dynasty Tang. Most of the ancient films and televisions in the industry were fild here.
Yuran was actually very familiar with this place. Before she beca Yuran, as Fu Yuran, she would spend 350 out of 365 days a year here.
Qi Younian noticed her pace slowing down as they walked, and looking up at her expression, he teased with a laugh, "Do you miss every blade of grass and tree here very much?"
Yuran smiled and nodded, "I really do miss it. In the past, I always felt confined here, but now, everything looks so familiar and dear to ."
Qi Younian said, "Of course, your goals are different now. Filming now must be a lot more relaxing for you. Does the great actor Bo Yan need you to take care of him? He’s not Yinchao, that wimp, pah pah pah, you mustn’t tell Bo Yan I ever compared him to Yinchao!"
Yuran wasn’t pleased when Qi Younian spilled those words just now; how could Yinchao, that scum, be ntioned in the sa breath as Bo Yan? Definitely not. Fortunately, Qi Younian corrected himself promptly, and she felt sowhat relieved.
"Qi Younian, you shouldn’t compare Bo Yan to anyone."
Qi Younian: "..."
He turned his head and saw Yuran’s uncharacteristically gentle profile. He had never seen it before. When she ntioned Bo Yan, she would always beco very tender, perhaps even she herself hadn’t realized it. Just as Qi Younian was about to apologize, he heard her say, "Bo Yan is different to ."
Different? How so?
Qi Younian listened quietly, expecting Yuran to continue, but instead, Yuran just shut up completely.
Qi Younian: "..."
Coincidentally, Lin Zhan was preparing to start a new drama. Directors and investors from surrounding crews who ran into him all ca to congratulate him. After all, Lin Zhan had a big reputation in the industry, and it was good to ingratiate themselves and get familiar.
Even more coincidentally, Lin Zhan’s first scene clashed with the filming location of "Empress of a Generation." "Empress of a Generation" was difficult to shoot, and Fu Bairan’s acting couldn’t be considered bad, but neither was it particularly outstanding. Originally, they intended to use Fu Yuran’s death as a chance to promote Fu Bairan.
However, the feedback the director gave to Yinran was: the Empress in the latter part of the series outshone the earlier portrayal by far, they were simply incomparable.
Yinran’s heart sank deeper and deeper.
But Fu Yuran was already dead, and now where could they find another Fu Yuran? Having reached this point, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue filming.
What the crew of "Empress of a Generation" hadn’t expected was that they would clash with Lin Zhan’s set for "Emperor Shun of Tang" on the Han Dynasty palace grounds. Due to Lin Zhan’s standing, it was natural that his team would have priority. Thus, when Yuran and Qi Younian arrived at the set of "Emperor Shun of Tang", they also saw the waiting crew of "Empress of a Generation".
In fact, Lin Zhan’s team had already negotiated with the people from "Empress of a Generation". "Emperor Shun of Tang" would be shooting there for two consecutive days. They suggested that the other team shoot other scenes elsewhere first, but Yinran Entertainnt’s spokesman, Yinchao, said it was no issue.
If they said it was no issue, then it was no issue indeed. After all, it wasn’t "Emperor Shun of Tang"’s money being wasted.
Fu Bairan and Yinchao caught sight of Qi Younian approaching gracefully. At that mont, Fu Bairan stood beside Yinchao, frowning slightly, "Brother Yinchao, how could Qi Younian..."
Yinchao’s face also darkened a bit. Qi Younian had taken eighty million from him, a resentnt that hadn’t dissipated to this day.
Who would have thought they’d run into Qi Younian here?
Wait, why would Qi Younian be with the crew of "Emperor Shun of Tang"?
Clearly, Fu Bairan had noticed this issue as well. If at first she was rely surprised to see Qi Younian here, now she was shocked to find him actually with the crew of "Emperor Shun of Tang".
Back then, Qi Younian hadn’t been much of a big shot at Yinran Entertainnt.
How had he managed to get so far ahead in just a few short years?
Fu Bairan twisted her gaze towards Qi Younian, "Brother Yinchao, why is Qi Younian with ’Emperor Shun of Tang’’s crew? And who’s that with him..."
Fu Bairan didn’t finish her sentence before her eyes t Yuran’s. Yuran’s eyes were smiling, but with a hint of contemplative coldness. Fu Bairan shuddered and clutched Yinchao’s sleeve tightly.
Yinchao’s wrist hurt from the grip, but he assud she was displeased about Qi Younian’s betrayal, and so he patted her hand reassuringly, "Xiaoran, no matter what Qi Younian does, I’ll never let him hurt you."
Fu Bairan’s face flushed, and she gave a coy laugh, "Brother Yinchao, I believe in you. You’ve done so much for ; I will definitely work hard."
Yinchao squeezed her hand, his face full of relief.
Qi Younian noticed, as they walked, that Yuran kept staring at one spot, almost bumping into his back, so he asked, "What are you looking at? You’re so distracted."
Yuran chuckled, "Watching scum and a dog."
Qi Younian hadn’t paid attention to the crew of "Empress of a Generation" before, but hearing Yuran say this, he turned to look with so interest. Once he saw, he was imdiately upset and quickly reached out to cover Yuran’s eyes.
"Stop looking, don’t go blind."
Yuran: "...I didn’t expect to find ’Empress of a Generation’ shooting here. How coincidental."
Facing the people who had once killed her and then wrung dry her remaining value after death, Yuran thought she would be filled with loathing hatred. However, perhaps because she had spent a long ti with Bo Yan, the resentnt in her heart had sowhat healed. On the contrary, she felt sowhat relieved to have beco Yuran.
If she hadn’t beco Yuran, how could she have intersected with Bo Yan? She wondered if he had gone abroad yet. He probably hadn’t, or she would have received a text by now.
She was starting to miss him.
Lin Zhan saw Yuran and, as the enthusiastic old man he was, rushed over, pushed Qi Younian aside, and mysteriously pulled Yuran to a quiet place. Yuran let him lead her there and couldn’t help but find it amusing, "Director Lin, are you planning to rob ?"
The old man Lin Zhan’s eyes widened, "Do I look like such an unscrupulous person? What’s your relationship with Bo Yan?"
