Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 575: Who Suits The Role Of A Dainty White Flower

The prince stretched his thin lips lightly, his smile should have given off the impression of a breathtaking view, but right now, it merely came off as mocking to Little Fox.

“I’ve never told you that I’ll fall for you. My heart has no place for anyone but Ru Yin.”

“The thing that I want...” He paused his sentence midway, while his finger scraped lightly over Little Fox’s cheek before stopping at the corner of her eye. He parted his thin lips again, but the words which came out from them were cold and unpleasant.

“What I want from you, is only your eyes.”

“Who asked you to have such gorgeous eyes which do not belong to Ru Yin?”

“Your eyes are very attractive but they are not Ru Yin’s.”

He pulled back his arm and guided his elder sister to the side.

“Someone, gouge out her eyes.”

“Don’t look.” He covered his elder sister’s eyes with his hands, not wanting her to witness such a gory scene but instead she smiled. “Have you forgotten? I’ve lost my sight.”

“You’ll be able to see again very soon. I’ve promised you that I’ll give you a pair of eyes. A pair of eyes that would only belong to you.”

Little Fox’s eyes were taken away from her just like that. There were only two bloody holes left in the place where her eyes should have been, and she would no longer be able to see the colors of the world. Her eyes were gone and so was her heart.

“Xiao Bai...Xiao Bai...”

It seemed as if someone was calling her name.

She extended her arms forward to grope and she felt a face with profound features. There was an old scar at the corner of the person’s eye and she knew it was a painful scar that would never heal.

“Big Brother Zi Yue...”

She was mumbling, while her fingers were still searching in front of her.

“It’s me, Xiao Bai.”

The general winced. He had not expected to see Xiao Bai had her eyes forcefully taken away by someone else.

Yan Huan read until this point and put down her script. Her heart tightened, perhaps it might be normal for anyone’s heart to feel such pain and discomfort after experiencing this depressing scene.

It felt like she had been nipped by a needle, you could never forget it every time you come to think about it. Little Fox who was beautiful and snow white in color; and the people whom she had seen with her pair of eyes and the kind of delights she felt in the process.

While her eyes had fulfilled her lovely dream but alas, it was no match for the evil betrayals and greed of this world.

Yan Huan wiped her tears from the edge of her eye.

Those who committed sins in the name of love.

Those men in neat and decent attires but would commit vulgar acts behind the scenes.

No matter what happened she was going to make this film. She would employ a top-notch post-production team and invite the best actors to the cast, but the only problem now was...

She raised her chin up slightly.

Her funds were insufficient.

“It’s rare to see you sigh so heavily?”

Luo Lin came in and saw Yan Huan almost sprawling over the top of the table. What’s wrong with her? Why does she look so bothered?

“Yeah.” Yan Huan was lightly scratching the tabletop with her finger. If she were a cat, she would have left a few claw marks on the table but unfortunately, she wasn’t one. However, she was still exasperated.

“We are running out of money now.” Yan Huan’s face fell a little. “I’ve been working so hard to earn more money but I’m still poor.”

Luo Lin joined Yan Huan at the table. She put aside what she was holding and said, “It’s not that you are poor, just that why must you always invest in these films with a huge budget? Why not something else? Yan Huan, oh Yan Huan, you’re doing the impossible by biting off more than you can chew! Let me see, are you all puffed up?”

This was the first time Luo Lin had a serious talk with Yan Huan. “You have to be mindful if this doesn’t turn out well, not only would you be unable to get your money back, it may ruin your reputation too.”

“Then you’ll no longer be the golden remedy of the box office. You have to understand, once golden remedy turns into poison, there is no going back. No one will cast you anymore.”

“You’ll still be successful even if you give up on this film.”

“I have faith in my sight.” Yan Huan pointed toward her eyes. “You should trust me too, I’ll make a jaw-dropping film.”

Luo Lin placed a bunch of things she brought before Yan Huan. “These were what you have requested for. Yue Ran had sketched the actors’ stills from their finalized costume design based on your request. Have a look if there is anything that needs to be changed.”

Though Luo Lin disagreed with Yan Huan’s actions, given that she had invested so much in one shot, her working attitude was still extremely serious. Luo Lin had made strong remarks about her decision but it was because that prevention was better than cure. Although she knew Yan Huan’s character, that even if she knew she would fail in the end, she would still do it. She would come back stronger to prove herself. This woman would never falter even if she ran into walls after walls.

Yan Huan flipped through page by page.

Yue Ran was truly brilliant, the standard of his taste in aesthetics truly exceeded the norm. However, they were neither repulsive nor would it result in any classic form of hate and flaming by others.

His designs were aesthetic, refreshing and natural; they were able to catch the eyes of those who had come across them. In the media industry, his makeup style was able to bring the best out of the characters while for the novel, it could leave a refreshing and lasting impression even after the show had ended.

He had sketched the characters in the form of cartoon and even though no actors had been cast yet, his masterpieces were as usual, impressively beautiful.

There was no need for any changes at the moment because when the character’s still-cuts were out, Yue Ran would figure out the necessary adjustments to be made. Therefore, Yan Huan would not raise any opinion yet. In any case, she might be an expert in film shooting but for makeup, she could only do light ones, not to mention she could only apply makeup on herself. On the contrary, Yue Ran was professional in the field, of which he had her full trust.

The next thing on the list was to finalize the cast. It was March now and they would have about ten months to shoot. Truthfully, the schedule was tight and rushing.

“Let me check with Liang Chen if she’s free, perhaps she would take on the role of young mistress.” Liang Chen was most suitable in acting the roles of characters who appear to be pure and innocent on the outside, like dainty white flowers, but completely wicked on the inside. In fact, when she was acting in character, it made viewers grind their teeth with hatred despite carrying a pretty and innocent face.

“Actually, I had someone else in mind which may suit the role better.”

Luo Lin was tracing the table lightly with her finger, waiting for an appropriate time to voice her opinion.

“Hmm, who is it?” Yan Huan was curious about whom Luo Lin was thinking of.

“It’s Su Muran.” Luo Lin rolled her eyes at Yan Huan. “You’ve been in the industry for almost ten years, how did she not come to your mind?”

“Not ten years. Twenty years,” Yan Huan reminded Luo Lin.

“You started acting when you were five?”

Luo Lin had a wry smile, she did not believe Yan Huan.

“Not exactly,” Yan Huan chuckled a little. In her small laughter, she hid her secret. She did not start acting since she was five, but rather she had been acting for her second lifetime.
