Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At the back of the crowd, Xue ngqi smiled and walked towards him. She was already holding a cup of ginseng soup in her hands. The ginseng soup was in a small and white porcelain goblet and a bit of steam was rising from it. She looked extrely delightful.
The clan relatives imdiately started praising her, “Good gracious, look. ngqi has already thought of it. We don’t even need reminders from the servants. Hasn’t everything been prepared? Co here.”
Gu Xiande looked at Xue ngqi with his eyes narrowed.
Xue ngqi said, “Grandfather, I haven’t been back for a long ti. I managed to get here in ti while your health is poor. I’ll accompany you more when you’re better in the future.”
Gu Xiande glanced at her and said to the people beside him, “This is ngqi?”
“Yes, yes. She’s the ngqi we often ntion to you,”
the clan relatives said excitedly.
Of course, Gu Xiande knew what they ant by this. They had ntioned this Xue ngqi not just once or twice. The fact that they had repeatedly ntioned her ant that the clansn had already collectively nominated this Xue ngqi to be their mistress.
However, they needed the support of Gu Xiande, a prominent elder of the family.
Gu Xiande knew that Lin Che was indeed not cut out to be the mistress. He did not want her to be the mistress either.
As for the Xue ngqi in front of him, he still had to observe her. He could not approve or disapprove of her so soon either.
By the ti Gu Jingze arrived, everyone had quietened down as well.
As Gu Xiande had escaped the jaws of death again this ti, the atmosphere in the Gu residence finally beca much more relaxed over the next few days.
Gu Jingze wanted to return ho early every day. Because Lin Che was pregnant, he wanted to stay by Lin Che’s side a little more often.
However, there were tis when going on business trips was unavoidable.
He had to go out and settle matters but he did not want to go as it was too far. How could Lin Che agree to it? She definitely did not want to beco a burden to him.
She said, “If you don’t want to go, I can go with you too.”
But Gu Jingze was not agreeable. “It’s too far. You’ll have such a hard ti taking the plane. It won’t do if sothing happens while you’re there.”
Lin Che said, “In that case, go on your own first. I won’t go out and loiter about for the next few days too. I can make use of the ti to discuss with the company our plans to film a short cody. We’ve already chosen the novel and all the other components are going to be set in motion. I’m very busy too. Even if you’re at ho, you won’t be able to accompany much.”
There was nothing Gu Jingze could do but kiss her forehead. “Alright then. Bring a few more people with you when you go out.”
“I’m fine.”
“I know, but I worry...”
Even though he knew that nothing would happen to her since there were people with her to help her out if there was any danger, no matter how well-prepared they were, he was still worried. What could he do?
Lin Che’s heart softened at his words. She pressed a short kiss to his lips.
They had not behaved so intimately in front of the maids for a long ti. For a mont, she felt a little embarrassed.
Although the maids had gotten used to it a long ti ago, she herself still blushed.
Gu Jingze smiled. He patted her on the head before leaving.
Lin Che was just about to head to the company when she received a call from Mu Feiran beforehand.
“Lin Che, you’re not busy, right?”
“No. What’s up, Feiran?” Lin Che asked while walking.
“I read that novel you chose. I think it’s very interesting. I’ve decided to take the role.”
“Ah. Really?” Hearing this, Lin Che quickly asked, “But you’re sure that you want to, right? You’re not agreeing to film it out of consideration for my feelings, right?”
“How silly. Of course. It’s a fact that I haven’t tried out such a role, so I want to give it a try.”
Lin Che was still a little hesitant after thinking about it. “But even though I think that it will be very fun if all of us do sothing we like together, it really doesn’t seem consistent with your image in the past. People won’t say that I ruined you, right?”
“Silly girl. Since you’ve already said that we want to film sothing we ourselves like, why should we care what others say? Anyway, I quite like it. Let know once you’ve made your decision.”
“Sure. I’m going to the company today to discuss this. We’ve already confird that we want to do it. If you’re sure as well, we can go there and talk about it.”
Mu Feiran agreed. The two of them promised to et at the company.
Shen Youran had already reached the company long ago. Everyone was busy; those in charge of getting sponsors good sponsors while those in charge of public relations were dealing with public relations.
Lin Che went to greet Shen Youran and told her that the female lead was coming later.
Shen Youran asked, “You have already decided on the female lead? Who is it? Soone from Lin Che Studio?”
“Of course. One does not allow benefits created by one’s own work to accrue to others,” she smiled and said.
“Oh. Then who is it?”
“Well. Take a guess.”
“How would I know?”
“You’ll know once she’s here,” Lin Che said, keeping her in suspense.
After the two of them sat down, Shen Youran said, “I’ve already gotten two screenwriters to co and take a look. One of them gave it a shot. But nurous screenwriters ca knocking on our door when they heard that we were going to film sothing. It’s probably because they know that you’re famous and the chance of you cheating them is small. But none of them are well-known screenwriters. The big-na screenwriters still think that newbies like us aren’t reliable, so the end product will probably be terrible. That’s why they don’t want to take on the job. We’ve already contacted a few big-na screenwriters, but it’s useless no matter how many conditions we discuss with them. They’ve been rejecting us in a roundabout way.”
Lin Che said, “I understand their concerns too. If that’s the case, we won’t force them to agree. There’s no need for the screenwriter to be a famous one either. As long as we et one who sees eye-to-eye with us and thinks in a similar way, we’ll hire him or her.”
“Alright. Since you’ve said so, I’ll choose soone among them first.”
Just then, soone entered.
“You guys are already here. I’m the one who’s late.” The person who had co in was Mu Feiran.
Shen Youran froze. When she saw Mu Feiran push the door open and walk in naturally, she was montarily stunned.
“Eh, why...”
Lin Che stood up and said, “Feiran, you’re here. Co, take a seat. We were just talking about getting a screenwriter when you ca.”
Shen Youran had yet to register what was happening. “You guys are...”
Lin Che said, “This is the female lead.”
“Wow. No way. The female lead is Mu Feiran? Good lord, I should go and inform those top screenwriters. If they hear that Mu Feiran is going to act in it, they will definitely clamor for the job.”
Mu Feiran smiled and said, “Forget it. These screenwriters won’t want to co. I haven’t acted for so many years. I’m completely different now.”
“How are you different? You’re still a huge celebrity at the level of a queen.” Shen Youran was still very shocked. She found it very hard to believe that Mu Feiran was going to act in their first production. When the ti ca, they would probably receive a lot of attention.
Lin Che said, “That’s why I said that it’s soone from my company. Feiran is signed under our company right now.”
“What the hell? You’re just teasing now. You didn’t even say so earlier,” Shen Youran said. “I nearly died from shock.”
Lin Che laughed out loud. “Alright. Now you know it too. As for the male lead, I don’t know who’s the best choice.”
