Liang Chen smiled at Yan Huan’s straightforward question.
“Hmm, if you’re talking about guys, I’m thinking that if I had another chance to choose, then I would want to meet a guy who is head over heels for me while I’m at the peak of my youth. But I’m so old now. I’m already 34 years old.”
“You’re only 34, that’s still young.” Yan Huan had never felt that Liang Chen was old. In this line of work, late marriage was common. There were even people who just started to gain fame in their thirties, where they would then prioritize their career over any relationships. They would have wasted their youth hustling until the day they grew old.
“Sister Liang, what do you think about Qi Haolin?” Yan Huan probed Liang Chen tentatively. Sure enough, when Liang Chen heard Qi Haolin’s name, her body trembled and she ran her fingers through her hair. “What can I say, he’s a decent person. If you’re not married, he would have been a good partner of choice.”
“He’s not my type.” Yan Huan would not have chosen a man like Qi Haolin in both lifetimes, because she did not want to be with someone in her line of work. If both of them were actors, then they would be too busy being in the spotlight and would spend more time apart than together. That is not how a married couple should be. One of them must be sacrificed to hold up the family, yet they wouldn’t know if the sacrifice would yield the results they desire.
Liang Chen seemed to have thought of something, causing her to become absent-minded.
After sitting there for a while, she finally stood up and left.
As Yan Huan was about to sleep, she caught a glimpse of something on the floor. She picked it up and gave it a good look. It was a bracelet, but it wasn’t hers.
However, it was highly possible that Liang Chen had left it behind, as she had seen Liang Chen wearing an identical one before. Yes, this definitely belongs to Liang Chen, I can’t be wrong.
She checked her phone and saw that Lu Yi was still busy.
“My darling Lu Yi, I’ll be gone for a while to return something to Miss Liang. Try not to miss me too much.”
Lu Yi lifted his head and reached out to touch the phone screen. It was as if he was touching Yan Huan’s face. Even though he was busy all day, he was still aware of everything that had happened on Yan Huan’s side.
Yan Huan hurried over to Liang Chen’s place.
However, only Liang Chen’s manager was there. Liang Chen herself was nowhere to be seen.
“She didn’t come back?” she asked Liang Chen’s manager.
Liang Chen’s manager shook his head. “No, maybe she went out for a stroll. She does sleep quite late usually though.”
In this case, Yan Huan did not ask any further. Instead, she set down the bracelet and prepared to leave.
As she was about to leave, she picked up the voices of two people chatting. She had never been one to eavesdrop, be it someone from the entertainment sector or just an ordinary person. The attraction between males and females is absolute, and won’t change just because of a difference in status or location. Of course, there would still be queers, but of course, those were rare.
After all, those kind of pairs did go against the law of nature. Even so, Yan Huan did not think anything of it. At the end of the day, it was someone else’s choice. It had nothing to do with her, nor was it any of everyone else’s business. Other people’s romance were not related to anyone else who were not involved.
Initially, she had really wanted to leave. However, she recognized Liang Chen’s voice.
Liang Chen?
Her feet came to a stop. She gave it some consideration but still decided to leave. However, Liang Chen’s voice was loud. Even if Yan Huan didn’t mean to and didn’t want to listen, she still heard everything that was said.
“Do you think that I would believe this?” Liang Chen seemed like she was smiling. Her voice and face indicated that she was smiling, but that smile did not reach her eyes. Whether that smile had reached her heart, no one knew.
“Then tell me, why wouldn’t you believe it? Am I just not trustworthy to you, just so unacceptable?” Came a man’s voice.
And this voice belonged to…
Qi Haolin. As expected, Yan Huan had guessed correctly.
A woman’s intuition was quite scary. This time round, she kept sensing a weird vibe between Liang Chen and Qi Haolin. Moreover, for some inexplicable reason, when they were filming Journey to Fairyland, the pair were always together, bantering and generally having a good time. As for Yan Huan herself, she was very grateful for Qi Haolin, because at the start Qi Haolin had kept mentioning good things about her in front of Liang Chen. Otherwise, Liang Chen might not have liked her, and she would have faced the same fate as Wen Dongni.
Despite that, their collaboration this time could only be described as awkward. They were not only awkward themselves, even the others had felt awkward too.
As for what they were going to say now, Yan Huan had already stopped listening. Even though she did not know the reason, but she could guess that soon, this incident between Liang Chen and Qi Haolin would cause Liang Chen to practically retire from acting in the future, and Qi Haolin to fall into a media firestorm for allegedly doing drugs.
She saw it but pretended she didn’t. She knew it but also pretended she was oblivious.
It was already the tenth day since they started shooting Zhu Xiaoye. From not knowing each other at the start, they had gradually broken the ice and felt more at ease with each other, which enhanced their chemistry and therefore the realism of the shoot. Nevertheless, the thing that Director Jin was most pleased with was not the experienced big shots like Yan Huan, instead it was the performance of the side characters that had exceeded his expectations. Things had certainly become more interesting. It was reminiscent of the time he first laid eyes on Yan Huan, who was only 20 years old at that time but had talent in spades.
Although these side characters did not have the acting skills and natural charm of Yan Huan back then, they still had their own unique characteristics which could propel them to fame in the future.
Of course, Director Jin did not know that these people would actually become famous in the future. It was all Yan Huan’s strategy to recruit them to her own company and single-handedly guide them to stardom.
Liang Chen and Qi Haolin still did not really interact with each other. Even if they did bump into each other, they would immediately avoid or ignore the other person. Normally, they would not even greet each other. The boundary between them was clear and stark as day.
Yan Huan was most probably the one who knew the most about what happened between them here, but she remained faithful to her initial position. She would not talk about it, bring it up nor even care about it.
She glanced at her wristwatch, noting that it was already the 7th of the month. Tomorrow would be the 8th. Yes, tomorrow was the day.
What’s tomorrow? This was all thanks to the memory from her past life. Yes, an earthquake, another earthquake, a seemingly mild earthquake that was not all that serious but scared the life out of everyone here. One could even say that it was only a small-scale earthquake that did not even have any aftershocks, but there were still people who insisted on sleeping outside for the entire half a month and did not dare go back home.
