Ye Shengge clenched her fists and said, âIs it really Chen Anzhi whoâs selecting the lead actress? Or was everything staged?â
Xiao Ruilang relaxed his eyebrows and said, âNo, no. Donât misunderstand. Chen Anzhi is indeed looking for a lead actress for his new show, but heâs willing to let me have the deciding rights.â
Ye Shengge eyed him suspiciously.
âWhen Chen Anzhi was studying in the States, our family sponsored him. So, if you are willing, the lead actress role in this movie is yours.â Xiao Ruilang explained with a smile.
âWhatâs the price I have to pay?â Ye Shengge looked at him warily.
Xiao Ruilang chuckled and walked out from behind the long desk.
Ye Shenggeâs face sank as she opened the door handle with her right hand.
Xiao Ruilang saw what she was doing and said, âDonât be afraid. My request is simple. Just leave Ji Shiting and be my woman.â
âImpossible,â Ye Shengge said without hesitation. âI donât want the part anymore.â
âDo you love him a lot?â Xiao Ruilang was smiling, but his tone was icy. âCanât bear to?â
âThatâs not the issue.â Ye Shengge smiled. âHave you forgotten? Iâm Shitingâs wife. You should call me sister-in-law.â
Xiao Ruilangâs smile froze, and his pupils narrowed.
âWife...â His voice was very faint.
Ye Shengge took the chance to walk out and rushed to Shang Tianyi.
âLetâs go.â She took the bag from him.
âThat quick?â Shang Tianyi was shocked. âHow did the audition go?â
âForget about this movie.â Ye Shengge smiled helplessly.
âWhat? Thereâs really no chance?â Shang Tianyiâs voice got higher.
Mu Xiaoya sneered, âI already told you that but you just had to embarrass yourself.â
Ye Shengge couldnât care less about Mu Xiaoya. She was afraid that Xiao Ruilang wouldnât give up, so she dragged Shang Tianyi away.
Ye Shengge only heaved a sigh of relief after she got into the car.
âWhat happened?â Shang Tianyi was panting. âNobody else acts like you after the audition. Itâs as if thereâs a ghost chasing you.â
âWorse than a ghost.â Ye Shengge still had a lingering fear. âIn any case, Iâm destined to have nothing to do with this movie. Please let me know if there are other opportunities.â
Shang Tianyi didnât probe further. He just sighed and said, âA good opportunity can only be found by chance. If you insist on having quality over quantity, youâll probably run out of jobs once âXue Ningâ is over. You will only get good opportunities when the show finally airs.â
âI understand.â Ye Shengge nodded. She was prepared for that.
She asked the driver to send Shang Tianyi back to his home before returning to Qianfan Villa.
Coincidentally, Ji Shiting came back a few minutes after her.
She was thrilled to see the man at the door, and she rushed over to him.
Ji Shiting grabbed her and frowned, âDid you head out this morning?â
âUm... I went to an audition, but I never expected Xiao Ruilang to be there. But donât worry, I ran away very quickly this time, and he couldnât do anything to me.â
She no longer dared hide anything anymore after the events of yesterday. She told Ji Shiting everything that had happened in the morning as well as her own assumptions.
