Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 809: The Best Actress Turned Supporting Character

Additionally, she had not filmed or even appeared in public for two years now. As such, many newcomers did not respect her. Maybe they thought that there was nothing worthy of respect in a had-been, as the character she took on now was hardly more than an extra. She could not even land the leading role. Although she was playing a main supporting character, it was nothing to shout about as there were a few main supporting characters in this movie. The nation’s best actress? She was nothing special.

They looked down on Yan Huan at the beginning, but after Yan Huan acted in a few scenes, they started to keep their mouths shut.

Everything they said became worthless in front of undeniable talent.

Yan Huan’s acting had always been excellent. Furthermore, her acting skills would only improve as time passed. It was impossible that one’s acting skills would become worse after acting for such a long time.

Yan Huan’s acting was decent to begin with, and her skills matured after she had gone through ups and downs. She had almost no lines at all, just glances, facial expressions and actions. Although her character did not have that much screen time, but it was still important that the actress portray the character vividly. If her acting was good, then she would become the most interesting character. Of course, this character was actually the hidden final antagonist in the movie.

Originally, they needed three months to complete it. However, because of how consistent she was, most of her scenes were approved in just one shot. Eventually, the three-month period was shortened to two months.

After she was done with her scenes, she could pack up and leave. Without a doubt, she lacked interaction with the others, and she did not even have an assistant. Originally, Luo Lin was her assistant, but because of her position and workload, Luo Lin did not have time to accompany her here. Despite that, Yan Huan did not really care about it as she could still function perfectly without an assistant. I have my own arms and legs. I’m capable of feeding myself, she thought.

This made those who brought several assistants along feel ashamed of themselves.

“Try to take up more supporting roles if you are free,” Luo Lin said when she sent Yan Huan off.

Why? Yan Huan felt distressed. As the world’s best actress, why must she only take up supporting roles? But she had no choice. Linlang was hers, so she had to take up these roles even if she did not care about other matters.

“The actors nowadays aren’t as good as those in your time. Especially this batch, they are very finicky.” Luo Lin was frustrated.

“They are not famous yet, but they’re acting like big shots already. They are not as hardworking as you. Please come over to educate them when you are free.”

“Are you implying that I am a negative example?” Yan Huan found it funny yet annoying. Frankly, she did not think that she was hardworking at all. Most people were the only child in their family, so it was typical that they would be spoiled by their parents. People would grow up eventually. If she had a good family background and was resourceful, she would not have to work as an extra for those few years before gaining her recent status.

Luo Lin pushed her into the car.

“No more nonsense, the plane is going to fly soon.” While she was talking, she closed the car door unceremoniously. Yan Huan knew that she was totally out of Luo Lin’s favor, fully abandoned by her.

Obviously, Luo Lin did not need a world’s best actress with an empty reputation anymore.

What was the point of being crowned as the world’s best actress? She was just a titular world’s best actress in the company, but she did not act, endorse any brands, or shoot any commercials during that time. Luo Lin was a realistic woman and she would rather boost a newcomer to achieve fame in the entertainment industry. It was easier to guide a newcomer than to wrangle a disobedient senior actress like Yan Huan.

She had resort to both carrot and stick to make Yan Huan take up just a minor role like this, not to mention adopting every possible means to make her accept the offer.

After boarding the flight, Yan Huan could finally have her peace of mind. She felt relaxed, since she got to escape Luo Lin’s incessant nagging. However, it seemed like a faint yet unavoidable buzzing had taken root in her mind, a result of subjecting herself to Luo Lin for the past couple of days.

It was so tough for her to get peace.

It was almost 11pm when she reached Sea City.

Sea City was considered a nightless city. The streets would still be bustling with noise even late at night. The lights in the bazaars and the street lamps were dazzling, the cars speeding along the roads in an endless stream. Some drivers would put on their blinding high beams, which irritated her eyes. She then went to the underground parking lot and got to her car. But she had no idea where she should go.

She could not go to the Classical Garden at this moment as Old Master Lu was used to waking up early, and he would hit the sack at half past nine everyday. Since the elderly were light sleepers, he would be disturbed into wakefulness if she went there.

As for the hotel, to be honest, she did not want to stay there.

So, she went to the place where Lu Yi and her had been staying. A housekeeper would clean the house in that peaceful neighbourhood everyday, so she could just stay the night there.

She yawned, feeling sleepy and tired. She was reluctant to do anything right now. She only wanted to have a good night’s sleep.

She drove to the neighbourhood and locked her car properly before carrying her luggage out from the car. She had planned to go to the 15th floor initially, but she recalled that the 15th floor was where she stayed with Yi Ling. There was a lot of clutter and dust inside as nobody had been there for a long time. Therefore, she went to the 13th floor in the end.

She took out the keys to open the door. As she walked in, she noticed that the air inside the unit was not as musty as she expected. It seemed like it was just cleaned. She then switched on the light and left her suitcase at the entrance. The house was very clean, and the tables and chairs were arranged neatly. She walked over to them and dragged a finger across the tabletop.

There was no dust on it.

She walked inside the bedroom and noticed that the blankets were folded neatly and meticulously, and were put in order.

She thought about it and concluded that the part-time cleaner must have cleaned the house. The house was cleaned by a female part-time cleaner, as Yan Huan had yet to find a suitable replacement for the aunty who had worked here, after she went back to her hometown. Anyway, even with her military background, Yan Huan found the new cleaner to be very meticulous. Even the quilts were folded into exact rectangles.

She opened the wardrobe, noticing that the clothes inside were arranged neatly. She pulled out a shirt at random and brought it close to her nose to take a whiff of it. Hmmm. It did not smell musty, but instead smelled lightly of detergent.

The bathroom was very clean as well, it was almost spotless. The white tiles were free of any dirt or stains.
