Chapter 37: Returning to the Crew

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The person in charge of the Jun family seemed to have boundless glory and power, but standing at such a high position, he definitely had to endure endless pressure.

If the one in power made even the slightest mistake, it would have an irreversible impact on such a large corporation.

After quickly reviewing three proposals that were close to 50 pages, Jun Shiling stood up and looked at the stars outside the window.

Xia Wanyuan walked to the door and knocked when she saw light coming from the study.

“Come in.” Jun Shiling continued looking out of the window and did not turn back.

Xia Wanyuan opened the door. “Will you be done soon? Xiao Bao is waiting for you to sleep.”

He thought that it was Uncle Wang, but a clear female voice came from the door.

Jun Shiling turned around and saw Xia Wanyuan, who was dressed in a flowery nightgown, standing at the door. She was not wearing any makeup, but it made her look even more beautiful. She was like a pure lotus, calming one’s chaotic emotions.

“I’ll finish up now.”

Xia Wanyuan covered herself with her jacket and walked towards the bedroom while Jun Shiling followed closely behind.

In the bedroom, Xiao Bao was so tired that he could barely keep his eyes open. When he saw Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling enter, he smiled.

“Go to sleep.”

Xia Wanyuan got onto the bed and pulled Xiao Bao into her arms. Similar to the previous time, Jun Shiling went to the bathroom to change into his pajamas and laid on the other side of the bed.

Feeling the presence of his father and mother around him, Xiao Bao fell into a deep sleep within half a minute.

Xia Wanyuan lowered her head to look at Xiao Bao, who had his eyes closed and long eyelashes shut. When she looked up, she met Jun Shiling’s gaze. He was about to check on Xiao Bao as well.

Jun Shiling’s deep eyes were like an ancient well, making it impossible to see through his emotions. However, Xia Wanyuan seemed to be burned by this gaze. Her face revealed some discomfort, and she shifted her gaze away awkwardly. Closing her eyes again, she prepared to sleep.

At the same time, Jun Shiling, who had wanted to check on Xiao Bao, unexpectedly met a pair of clear, bright eyes like those of a forest deer. It was as if her eyes were filled with dew in the night, the bright moon in the sky, and loaded with everyone’s dreams.

Jun Shiling felt as if that coolness had calmed his heart. But very quickly, he sensed Xia Wanyuan’s discomfort and withdrew his gaze. At the same time, he moved closer to the bed, trying to distance himself from Xia Wanyuan.

Fortunately, they were on a custom-made luxurious bed. There was more than enough space for three people.

…

The next morning, when Xia Wanyuan woke up, Jun Shiling was already gone.

Because there were still a few scenes to shoot for “The Long Ballad”, Xia Wanyuan had to go to Beijing Film City for a few days.

When Chen Yun received the message from Xia Wanyuan, he rushed over to fetch her to the production team.

Chen Yun remained silent as he watched Xia Wanyuan walk out of the manor. He only spoke when Xia Wanyuan came close to him.

“Xia Wanyuan, tell me honestly. Did your family get rich again? This is actually a house that your family bought, right?”

“Of course not. If I were so rich, would I need to act as the second female lead?” Xia Wanyuan felt a little speechless at Chen Yun’s imagination.

“That’s true.” Chen Yun scratched his head. “But don’t you live here now?”

“It’s just a friend’s house. I’m only staying here for a while.” Xia Wanyuan didn’t want to talk about her relationship with Jun Shiling.

“Oh, then your friend is quite nice.”

“Yeah.”

When they arrived at the set, everyone greeted Xia Wanyuan upon seeing her. Compared to when she had first joined the production team, the majority of the cast and crew now viewed Xia Wanyuan very differently.

Initially, everyone had only been biased against Xia Wanyuan because they had heard that she had a bad temper.

But in reality, Xia Wanyuan was not only good-looking, but her temper was not as bad as the rumors made her out to be. On the contrary, apart from not taking the initiative to interact with others, she could be considered approachable.

She did not complain about being tired during filming, and had high standards for herself. Furthermore, in their eyes, her acting skills were not as bad as what the rumors said.

“Xiao Xia, come here.”

Director Yang waved at Xia Wanyuan upon her arrival.

“What’s wrong, Director?” Xia Wanyuan thought that something had gone wrong with her scene, so she hurried over to Director Yang.

“Here’s the thing. Didn’t you draw on a lantern paper the previous time? I brought it home and my daughter’s classmate came to visit and saw it coincidentally. She said she quite liked your painting and wanted to get to know you. I wonder if you’re willing for me to give her your contact information?”

Li Nian had asked Yang Hui about it and Director Yang promised her that he would convey Li Nian’s words to the owner of the painting after he couldn’t stand his daughter’s pestering anymore.

“Yes, that’s not a problem, Director Yang.” In fact, in the eyes of the teachers in her previous life, Xia Wanyuan’s painting could only be considered to have barely passed. Therefore, Xia Wanyuan had never felt that her painting was that great.

She was quite happy as she did not expect that there would be a young man in this era who liked her paintings.

Not far away, Ruan Yingyu was fuming as she watched the film crew express their goodwill towards Xia Wanyuan.

To think she had even bought those people afternoon tea. It was as if she had fed the dogs! Why hadn’t she seen them behaving so enthusiastically when she returned?

“Today’s first scene is between Xiao Xia and Xiao Ruan. The two of you should prepare for it properly.”

After reviewing the schedule, Director Yang instructed everyone on how to proceed.
