She was right. Yan Huan did the same thing in her previous lifetime. It was unsurprising for her to repeat it this time.
However, some people might deserve her effort, but some were never worth her sacrifices and hard work.
On the other side, Lu Yi was slipping his mobile phone back into his pocket. He lifted his wrist to look at the time. It was almost midnight and he was a bit late today.
“Son, you should stay the night.” Ye Shuyun came over to carry Little Bean. She reckoned that it was too late for him to go back. By the time he arrived and settled down, it would already be one or two o’clock in the morning. It would be better for him to sleep here and save the 30 minutes of driving.
“Alright, mom.” Lu Yi walked over to pat Little Bean’s head. Little Bean obediently licked his fingers. No wonder everyone in the family favored this cat as it really knew its way to a human’s heart. Its only flaw was its huge appetite.
Lu Yi had not been home for a long time. Since he and Yan Huan got married, they had been living together over there as it was nearer to the procuratorate. Besides, that area was less dense. Yan Huan never liked crowds, perhaps it was due to her identity. It always brought her trouble when she got recognized in public. Moreover, it seemed as though there were always paparazzi lingering around. Regardless of the truth, as long as the story was told from the mouth of the paparazzi, it would carry an entirely different meaning.
Hence, that was always a very safe place. Strangers could never enter that place, not even sneakily.
He opened the door and entered his room. His room was extremely tidy as usual because his helper would clean it every day. Even when he was not around, the room remained neat. The smell of sunshine permeated the air. The whole room was clean, fresh, and definitely quiet.
On the table was a tiny photo frame. He walked over and lifted it up. He had the exact same photo at home, a picture of him and Yan Huan. He turned around and saw a pink bunny plushie resting on top of his king-sized bed. This was Yan Huan’s favourite doll but he had no idea how it ended up here.
He went and picked the doll up and gently pinched its ear as though the doll was his adorable young woman. It carried the same softness and had the identical scent of nature.
He put the doll down, showered, changed and rested.
Ever since he came back, he had yet to have a good night’s sleep. Hence, once he laid down, he fell asleep instantly. But, it did not last. He woke up at around six o’clock in the morning.
It was how his biological clock was tuned during those 10 days. The habits he gained when he went jogging with Yan Huan every morning. He put on his clothes and his shoes, and went out for a run, imagining that he was spending time with his girl as she was always running in the morning, regardless of the weather.
And he was right. Yan Huan was running. It was drizzling in the Movie City today. The raindrops fell on their skin, creating a cooling effect. The sport had become less boring as they continued to jog in the rain.
Therefore, the outdoor shoot was cancelled. However, they could proceed to film some other scenes indoors. They had to catch up with their progress and wrap it up before the new year. Then, she would be able to return home to spend the new year with Lu Yi.
In the previous few years, she would spend the new year with the Lu family no matter how packed her schedule was. Every year, she was able to collect quite an amount of red packets and she enjoyed it abundantly. Moreover, Yi Ling was expecting. Yan Huan was anticipating to meet Yi Ling’s baby. However, she was also slightly disappointed as it reminded her of how she would never bear Lu Yi’s child.
It would be perfect if she could have a child with Lu Yi.
She paused before ploding forward. The drizzling rain fell on her face too, cooling her skin. At that moment, she felt as though both fire and ice exploded within her simultaneously.
She was drenched in sweat and rainwater.
She stopped her pace and raised her head. Her eyes were closed, but the corner of her lips gently curled up. She seemed to be in a good mood.
Meanwhile, Lu Yi stopped in his tracks. He shaded his eyes with his hands as he looked at the sun that was rising from afar. The moment the day broke, the horizon appeared vast and magnificent.
That was the first light of the day that signalled the break of dawn.
As the rooster crowed, the day began.
Many were still asleep while many were still dreaming. There were, of course, many who were awake, like Lu Yi, Yan Huan and many others.
The filming of Zhu Xiaoye was coming to an end. All the members of the cast and crew were worn out. This movie was the first film Yanhuan personally invested in. Hence, it was very important to Yan Huan and Linlang.
Everyone remained pretty tightly wound until the very last scene was done. No one wanted any blame on their heads.
Yan Huan received a phone call from Yan Hua recently. He requested her for the promotion of the film. As her drama “When The Song Ends” had been scheduled to broadcast during the new year, there were a number of scheduled events to promote the show and gain popularity. However, Yan Huan was rather occupied. She had to continue with her shooting for this movie, especially because they were shooting her parts now. It was impossible for her to leave her role. That was like leaving her hard work and effort behind.
Yan Hua could understand Yan Huan’s situation, but he was still disappointed by her decision. After all, if Yan Huan was present, the result of the promotion events would be highly boosted, at the same time, she would gain more limelight for the show. Although Su Muran was considerably famous, Yan Huan’s positive image was more popular. Since Yan Huan’s schedule would not allow it, he could only reply with a regretful smile and expressed his disappointment.
Her drama, “When The Song Ends”, had been a hit on both the internet and the television recently. The promotion started a month ago. The trailer was purportedly leaked too but the clip was fittingly edited. Yan Huan had watched it and made no comment about it.
Luo Lin’s reaction was, however, pretty big.
“How could they leave you out of the trailer?” She sat opposite of Yan Huan and reached out to pinch Yan Huan’s cheeks affectionately. “Ha. Are these people blind? Our Best Actress Yan is sitting right here! With your popularity and your positive reputation, how could they have dropped you from the trailer?”
It was apparently deliberately done. She would be a fool if she failed to realize the fact at this moment. A trailer is supposedly a preview of the synopsis of the entire series. It was also expected to fully feature all the main actors. However, almost every other cast but Yan Huan, the second main lead actress, appeared in the video clip. Yan Huan was not shown at all during the whole three-minute trailer. Either she was forgotten, or it was intentional.
Of course, she believed it was the latter.
That it was intentional.
