Chapter 220: Chapter 220: It’s Called Princess

Yuran was completely puzzled. "So, what does the educational background of the Bo Great Film Emperor’s fans have to do with him and me working together?"

Bai Leyao looked at her with a meaningful gaze, slowly explaining, "In the eyes of his fans, the Bo Great Film Emperor has an unshakeable persona. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yuran shook her head, "I don’t understand."

Bai Leyao, "Because the Bo Great Film Emperor never created a persona for himself, his persona can never be destroyed. Sometimes, having no persona means either it can’t be established, or the person is too outstanding. Not having a persona is the best persona; it’s worthy of any level of character and team. The Bo Great Film Emperor is such a proud existence."

"So? Can you get to the point? Don’t keep praising the Bo Great Film Emperor’s excellence in front of me. I know he’s excellent," Yuran was somewhat on the verge of collapse.

Annan, who knew the truth, "..." Falling in love with such an outstanding person, aren’t you nervous? Isn’t it exciting?

Bai Leyao rolled her eyes, "Why don’t you have any patience? Good things must be said slowly!"

Yuran was speechless for a while, "Alright, Miss Bai Leyao, take your time, catch your breath, drink some water."

Bai Leyao didn’t think there was anything wrong with her approach, confidently and slowly saying, "Acting in a play with the Bo Great Film Emperor is your luck and your misfortune, just think about it.

If your acting is completely overshadowed by the Bo Great Film Emperor, not a bit dazzling, won’t you be drowned in the spit of his fans?"

"Now that you mention it, I’m really scared," Yuran said indifferently, her face expressionless as she looked at Bai Leyao.

Annan immediately noticed the insouciance in Yuran’s tone, not the slightest bit worried, but Bai Leyao didn’t catch on. She seriously said, "Right? So how do you feel about playing opposite the Bo Great Film Emperor, a great ’green leaf,’ with you as the ’flower’?"

Yuran earnestly said, "All the nutrients are absorbed by you brain-dead fans into the Bo Great Film Emperor’s ’green leaf.’ I haven’t enjoyed any bit of it."

"Damn..." Bai Leyao was earnestly trying to reason with her, but auntie had already brought out the dishes from the kitchen. She had looked after Bai Leyao for over a year and this was the first time she saw a guest in Bai Leyao’s house, and Bai Leyao seemed so happy.

With the dishes on the table, the three of them were hungry, so naturally the conversation stopped. They started talking about other things, and in the midst of their conversation, Bai Leyao brought up Zhen Ni.

"There’s someone named Zhen Ni in your crew, right?"

"How do you know so much?" Yuran found Bai Leyao’s insights bewildering. You’re a singer, acting like a gossip journalist. Are you planning to change careers or what? You’re so gossipy.

Unexpectedly, Bai Leyao enthusiastically joined the conversation, "She once participated in the same event as me and seems to be Lin Chen’s ex-girlfriend. Tsk, she’s quite the talk of the circle. I heard she has a strong background. Have you not been bullied?"

Yuran calmly said, "I have been bullied."

"What?" Bai Leyao felt the food in her mouth lose its flavor. She slammed her chopsticks onto the table, "This is outrageous, how did she bully you? I’ll go avenge you."

"It’s nothing big. She just asked me how many people’s beds I’ve climbed to get Tang Wan’s role."

Remembering Zhen Ni, who she had infuriated to the point of nearly stomping her feet, Yuran didn’t feel aggrieved, but rather regretful. Afterwards, Zhen Ni didn’t have the opportunity to trouble her because someone else gave Zhen Ni trouble.

"You’re not angry about that?" Bai Leyao looked at Yuran’s calm demeanor, surprised. Yuran replied, "I am very angry!"

Annan: "..."

Bai Leyao: "..."

It’s not showing at all, okay?

Yuran, "The highest level of anger is making others unable to tell you’re angry. Besides, Zhen Ni was just indulging in talking. I can curse much better than her, it’s no big deal. She’s no match for me. Maybe she’s just jealous that I’m prettier than her."

Bai Leyao: "Speechless..."

The two stayed at Bai Leyao’s house until the evening. Bai Leyao wanted them to stay overnight, but both had their own matters and didn’t linger. Before leaving, Yuran teased her own cat, "Princess Fatty, do you want to come play with me?"

The cat turned its head haughtily, and Bai Leyao mocked her, "Hold back, don’t flirt with it; it is my cat now."

Yuran: "..."

Bai Leyao, "Also, don’t randomly name it; its name is Princess."

Annan: "..."

Yuran, "Are you serious about naming it?"

Bai Leyao picked up the cat, nestled it in her arms, and started stroking its fur, "Of course, I thought about it for several days before I came up with such a great name. I think it matches its temperament perfectly. I had prepared a crown for it before, but it somehow lost it, probably dropped it while out for a walk."

Yuran was speechless for a moment, before she could say anything, the housemaid said with a pained expression, "Yes, Princess was wearing the crown on its head when it went out, but it was gone when it came back. It was made of pure gold, such a pity, and it even had a little gem set on it."

Bai Leyao continued, "No worries, I’ll have another one custom-made for Princess."

Yuran held back for a while, "...spoiled brat."

Annan shared the sentiment deeply, "Putting a real crown on a cat, custom-made with a gem too, impressive..."

Bai Leyao, "It’s a princess, after all. If it doesn’t have a crown, how can it be called a princess?"

The fat cat had a haughty air, its glassy eyes cool and inscrutable. Yuran looked on, at a loss for words, at this pair of foolish individuals with water-logged brains and a proud, cold ridiculous cat, not wanting to say a single thing.

"You really have the money to burn, and you really squander it."

The housemaid also nodded in agreement, exactly, exactly.

Bai Leyao was not having it, "You don’t appreciate my taste, but there’s no need for personal attacks! That’s too much..."

Yuran: "..."

Annan: "..."

On their way back, Annan couldn’t help but ask with an incredulous tone, "Yuran, does the little empress have some kind of problem in her head..."

"Pfft..."

Yuran couldn’t hold back and started to laugh.

Suddenly, a phrase Bai Leyao had once told her flashed through her mind.

Ranran, I might be a bit of a wastrel, but I can still be redeemed.

Annan blushed, "Don’t laugh, okay? I didn’t mean anything by it, I was just curious. Her behavior has completely shattered my worldview."

Yuran, "Bai Leyao is just excessively doted on at home, due to family reasons, she doesn’t have a strong concept of money; perhaps to her, it’s merely a number."

Annan was incredulous, "Surviving really isn’t easy."

Yuran, "What’s not easy about it? Her brother adored her to no end. Anything that can be bought with money doesn’t seem to be a rare sight to Bai Leyao. Didn’t you notice, she is a homebody? A very, very extreme one."

"I noticed."

"Yeah, so some of Bai Leyao’s thoughts might be unconventional, but they make sense within reason. In her worldview, this kind of behavior is justified because it exists."
