Chapter 210: Chapter 210: I Don’t Want to Either

However, Bo Yan had only taken a few steps before he stopped.

Xuan Ze hadn’t gotten an answer from Yuran and didn’t press further, but instead, he headed straight toward Bo Yan.

Yuran couldn’t avoid it and had to meet him. Bo Yan didn’t see any discomfort on Yuran’s face, so he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to Xuan Ze, "What are you talking about?"

Xuan Ze was surprised and thought, Your tone is all wrong. You used to speak to me in a textbook-perfect, straight-laced manner. This gentle tone—could you be possessed?

Xuan Ze smiled, "Nothing much, just discussing with your partner about the issue I mentioned last night. The new scripts are all with your agents. There’s not much work these days, mainly focusing on taking promotional photos;

after the promotional photos are taken, you can go back and study the script carefully. The changes aren’t significant, just some additional scenes for the male lead on the original basis.

It depends on your efficiency. I must tell you, Yuran, that the internationally renowned Bo Yan isn’t the easiest to deal with when filming."

Yuran: "..."

Bo Yan gave him a meaningful smile and lowered his eyes casually as he looked at Yuran. His voice, however, was very soft, "Everything’s okay now, right?"

Yuran was startled, then hummed a response, "It’s okay now. These little issues are no big deal, they only flare up for a day or two."

Bo Yan understood and didn’t continue talking with her, fearing that those with ulterior motives might make something out of it, which would be to her disadvantage in the end.

Xuan Ze couldn’t figure out the relationship between the two; he was confused. He thought they were close, but they now seemed distant. Could it be that the great movie star Bo Yan was just being momentarily kind and only helping Yuran to pass on a message?

Was the great movie star Bo Yan really that helpful?

On the other hand, of all the actors he had worked with in the past, some had been physically weak, but he had never heard of Bo Yan possessing such a considerate and noble character.

Bo Yan’s hands were in his pockets, and he raised his eyebrows slightly, "Xuan Ze, I saw the script you revised last night; Xie Cheng showed it to me. Tang Wan has so many skills, are you planning to showcase them all?

A movie is only two hours long, three at most. Suddenly increasing the content so much, are you planning to shoot a TV series instead? You should have said so earlier."

"Great movie star Bo Yan, you’re too much," Xuan Ze cut him off, "Don’t worry, everything will be presented in the most suitable manner. We won’t force anyone to learn what they don’t need to, you can be at ease."

If he still believed there was nothing fishy between the two, he’d be fooling himself.

Yuran asked with curiosity, "What can she do?"

After some thought, Xuan Ze said, "My mother has a wide range of hobbies. She likes painting, flower arranging, and horse riding... Although the script includes these, you can rest assured, Yuran, I will provide focused training for you."

"Great!"

"Great? What if you fall?" Bo Yan immediately objected at her side. Xuan Ze glanced back and forth between the two and couldn’t help but ask, "Great movie star Bo Yan, what exactly is... between you and Yuran?"

"Do you want to ask about our relationship?" Bo Yan asked unabashedly.

Xuan Ze nodded.

Yuran looked puzzled.

Bo Yan smiled mysteriously, "What does it have to do with you?"

Xuan Ze: "...Damn..."

"Director Tang, we are ready..."

Xuan Ze wanted to make another comment, but the assistant director called for attention from afar. He glanced once again between the two before sulking off. After a few steps, he turned back to speak to them, "Hurry up with the makeup. We’re starting with the supporting actors’ promotional photos, and it’ll soon be your turn."

"Okay, Director Tang."

Yuran was very clear that if she and Bo Yan got too close on set and the news made it back to their home country, she would definitely be blasted on the hot search, so she hurriedly withdrew.

As she passed Bo Yan, the palm of her hand was swiftly scratched by his slender fingers, and Yuran’s face turned red in an instant, "You..."

Bo Yan smiled slightly, a smile that was annoying, yet taken for granted.

Yuran clenched her fist and quickly walked past him. Once Yuran left, several eager supporting actors approached Bo Yan, all of them female, and one even had some fame.

Yuran had walked a fair distance away and had no idea what the group said to Bo Yan. He kept a stiff face and engaged in a few perfunctory exchanges before Xie Cheng called him away.

Would he not have wanted to leave if Xie Cheng hadn’t called him?

Yuran thought, puffing with irritation.

"What are you looking at? You look all huffy," said Qi Younian, who had just come back from taking a call, witnessing this scene. He followed her gaze and saw several artists chatting away happily.

He withdrew his gaze and comforted her, "What’s so interesting about those actresses? They’re not even as pretty as you, so why are you upset?"

Yuran: "..."

Is that why I’m upset?

Forget it, let’s not talk about it. "Was that call you just took from Annan? Is she here?"

Qi Younian, "Yeah, she’s arrived. You go get your makeup done, and I’ll go pick her up. It’s not far from here to the airport; maybe she’ll be here before you’re even done with your makeup.

Oh, and here’s the new script. I’ve looked it over, and there are quite a few talents involved in it, but you’ve learned them all, so it’s not a big problem. Do you still remember how to ride a horse? It’s said that Tang Wan is an expert in equestrian obstacles.

Oh, and I also asked Xie Cheng, Bo Yan is too."

"So?"

Qi Younian coughed, "What I mean is, you and Bo Yan are on good terms now. Even if you’ve forgotten, it doesn’t matter; you could ask Bo Yan to teach you, especially as you two are going to be acting opposite each other."

"You want me to use Bo Yan to stir up topics? Are you crazy? That would ruin me," Yuran refused. "Moreover, I don’t want to."

Qi Younian shrugged, "Don’t be mad, I was just suggesting. If you don’t want to, can I really force you? It’s good as long as you know what’s in your heart."

...

While getting her makeup done, Yuran flipped through the script. The sweetest part of the whole play "Glory With You, Never Betray" was about the month in Marseille where Tang Wan and Xuan Che lived an idyllic life, meeting friends, taking strolls, and doing things they loved.

After returning to the country for the award ceremony, Xuan Che would be laid to rest forever.

How Tang Wan’s life would be was not for outsiders to comment on, but Tang Wan and Xuan Che seemed like people shackled by fate, which was somewhat tragic.

Yuran wasn’t a big name yet and didn’t have a dedicated styling team or a private makeup room like the great movie star Bo Yan did; she, like the other actresses, had to get ready together.

To the others, she was still a newcomer, not warranting any extra special treatment.

The other artists were relatively familiar with each other and soon struck up a conversation. The topic went round and round until it landed on Bo Yan, with one artist saying, "I didn’t expect the great movie star Bo Yan to actually come and participate in the filming of this movie."

"Exactly, what a surprise. It was said before that he declined."

"However, the relationship between the great movie star Bo Yan and the movie queen Tang Wan was well known back in the day; the two have even acted together before, so it sort of makes sense."

"Bo Yan is even more handsome than he is on camera."
