Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Lapis didn't put too much effort when he was checking on the activities of both Gong Sun and Feng Huai. The two weren't too discreet about their actions, seemingly as if the two of them weren't even afraid of being found out. Or perhaps, because of their relationship as brothers-in-law, no one would have thought that the two men were thinking of sabotaging a rising entertainment company for their own gain.

At first, when Lapis was getting more and more evidence of Feng Huai's betrayal towards Ran Xueyi, he accidentally stumbled upon Gong Sun's unfaithfulness.

He found out that Gong Sun has been collecting projects and resources that Dauntless secured a while ago and leaked it to their competitor's companies. This kind of movement wasn't too obvious because Gong Sun only leaked it once in a while and he did it in a way that no one would ever suspect him of spreading company secrets to others. He must have believed that no one would ever investigate him.

However, this was a child's play for Lapis.

"In any case, Gong Sun's over," Lapis sucked on the lollipop between his mouth. He lazily added, "The Chairman from Dauntless might find you later today."

After hanging up on their call, Ran Xueyi leaned against the headboard and kept thinking. Dauntless' chairman's reason for finding her was probably because Gong Sun said something to him. As for what he told them, Ran Xueyi was certain it was of no value to her.

Song Yu Han opened his eyes a bit later. He noticed that the spot on the bed next to him was empty and cold. He didn't panic but he still sat up on the bed and looked around the room.

Last night, after finishing a round inside the car, Song Yu Han quickly drove to a hotel and paid for the suite room for them to stay there. As soon as they entered, they continued their erotic activity a few more rounds before hitting the bed for real this time.

The sound of people speaking entered his sensitive ears and he got off the bed. He made his way to the small living room and saw his wife sitting with her knees folded and chin resting on top of her knees while watching TV.

Ran Xueyi wore the shirt he wore last night. Her slender legs were bare and long, and very tempting to look at. Song Yu Han had a difficult time controlling his own reaction before walking over to sit beside her. 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

"What are you watching?"

"A dating show," Ran Xueyi replied in a lazy tone.

The wide TV screen displayed several people within the age range of 20-30. Some of them looked good while some oozed out haughty expressions. Song Yu Han didn't really like watching any dramas or shows on TV because he thought that it was too fake. He'd rather review millions of dollars documents than watch something like this.

However, when he sat next to Ran Xueyi while looking at the show playing out in front of him, he didn't feel the boring feeling he used to feel or think it was a waste of his time when he sat next to her.

After several minutes of watching the contestants in the dating show, the advertisement soon rolled in.

Song Yu Han was about to ask her something when a trailer of a film played. At first glance, it looked like a common film being advertised for people to come and watch once it's released in the cinema. But a beautiful lady in a traditional dress.

Since it was just a promotional video, it didn't show any main point of the film, but just a few seconds clips of very moving and catchy scenes of each character. Of course, the main attraction of it was the main character which was played by Ran Xueyi. She took more than just a few seconds as her scenes appeared a few more times before the title was pushed to the front as everything fade out.

"What do you think?" asked Ran Xueyi as she turned her head to gauge his reaction. She felt slightly nervous since this was the first time they saw her inside the silver screen.

The feeling of self-consciousness was extremely obvious as her fingers kept rubbing each other. She was never this nervous even when she was in front of a first-tier film director. Only Song Yu Han could make her feel like this.

Song Yu Han fell silent for a brief moment as if he hadn't snapped out of his daze before he replied with a trace of amazement in his tone, "Is this what your fans always feel when they see you?"

"Hm?" Ran Xueyi didn't expect him to say this then she heard him continue speaking.

"I watched a film when I was younger with my mother...The plot was wonderful but the actors who played in it were too worried about how they would look in the camera and filters were heavily added in it. But when I watched this short promotional video, I noticed that none of those biased thoughts I had before appeared in my mind."

"It's not that I'm being biased because you're in the film..." Song Yu Han continued and with a helpless smile, he continued, "Though, I have to admit you look extremely amazing in that traditional dress, the lines and acting that were shown in that short video was too influential. I'm still having tingles in my body."

When one felt that something they have seen was too great, they would feel a sensation similar to being on a rollercoaster with a blindfold over their eyes. Nobody will know when there will be a high drop or when will the rides twist. The sense of liberation, anticipation, and danger heightened one's senses to a point where they feel like they would be involved in the scene.

And in that short promotional video, Song Yu Han had the sense of belonging there.

Ran Xueyi patiently listened to him and didn't expect to get such high praise from him. But it was to be expected since she poured in a lot of effort to complete her character.

"The film will be shown in nationwide cinemas. I already talked with Producer Long and he helped me secure five tickets for all of us to watch," said Ran Xueyi and was a little bit shy after receiving his praise. "It took a while for it to be registered and get an official date of release because of what happened with Steffanie. Thankfully, we clinched a date for it to be released this year."

There was a film festival that Ran Xueyi was aiming for. It was a highly famed ceremony among film directors and actors. However, because the organization will only select a few films that showed during that particular year, Producer Long and Ran Xueyi chose to release the film this year rather than next year.

But even if they wanted to release it as soon as possible, there was no guarantee they would get the 'go' sign from the Administration of Film and Radio Broadcast.

At least a hundred films are fighting for a slot every year but only a few were given a pass. This was because the regulation and inspections for every film in the country had gotten a bit stricter. Every rule must be followed and once there was even one mistake that didn't satisfy the administrators, the film will have to be edit or cut the scenes where they didn't like it.

Sometimes, a film would have to wait for a few months to several years before it was officially released.

And in this film, <The Untamed> Jia Li and Steffanie, who were both supporting characters in the film, were involved in a sensational scandal. Even Ran Xueyi, the main female lead and victim of the two, got stringed up in their schemes.

Thus, clinching a slot this year was too difficult but still, they made it.

Ran Xueyi was extremely content with Producer Long's actions. He made the film from being released this year possible when everyone thought that it would be pushed back to a few years before it was shown to the public.

Song Yu Han saw the light in her eyes becoming brighter. It seems he wasn't the only one who was looking forward to the film. Ran Xueyi was also extremely excited to see how everyone would react to the film once it's released.

He didn't tell Ran Xueyi that the reason why Producer Long was able to convince the administrators of the Administration of Film and Radio Broadcast was all due to his words.

Several weeks ago, he heard from Guo Yun that the film <The Untamed> was scheduled to be released two years later since it was too soon after Steffanie and Jia Li's affair. Public opinion was highly regarded and considered during the deliberation. And although there weren't any negative opinions on the film <The Untamed>, one of the judges was a junior of Mr. Chang, Steffanie's father.

Mr. Chang intended to suppress the film as a retaliation to Ran Xueyi for sending her only daughter to the prison, and his junior agreed on the account of receiving a huge sum of money.

When Song Yu Han heard this, he remembered that one of his maternal uncles was one of the judges. He then used the excuse of taking a visit to his maternal uncle to see how he could help Ran Xueyi secure a slot this year.

Thankfully, his effort paid off.
