Chapter 232: You Grew Up Eating Doughnuts, Didn’t You?

Chapter 232: Chapter 232: You Grew Up Eating Doughnuts, Didn’t You?

Yuran stared at the gift box in her hand, slightly startled. He actually went and bought it for her?

Looking up, she saw him gazing down at her with a flicker of unusual color in his eyes. She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt like Bo Yan was seeking praise.

Yuran suppressed a laugh, "Thank you, Bo the great movie star. I really like it."

As she spoke, she shook the chestnut in her hand, took it out, and began to peel and eat it.

Completely ignored by the two of them, Xuan Ze: "..." Really enough. Even though it’s clear to stop pretending, they still do.

Watching Yuran peel the chestnut, Bo Yan’s eyebrows knitted tightly, wishing he could snatch it away and peel it for her himself. But considering the public setting, he thought better of it and looked away, turning his gaze to Xuan Ze.

"Director Tang, shall we talk over there?"

Xuan Ze certainly understood the intention behind being called away at this time. He nodded and followed him away.

As Bo Yan and Xuan Ze left, numerous eyes turned toward Yuran. Everyone who saw the chestnut in her hand felt a twinge of envy.

A chestnut personally given by the great movie star Bo?

It must be that he had something to discuss with Director Tang, and since Yuran happened to be there, he had casually given it to her—everyone wished they had been there at that moment.

How lucky one must be?

Xie Cheng, always so shrewd, would obviously understand the meaning behind everyone’s gazes?

Naive?

Others thinking they could receive something personally given by the great movie star Bo? Dream on! Apart from Yuran, there’s no chance for anyone else—the last bit of Bo’s patience was all given to Yuran and no one else... wishful thinking.

He was somewhat eager to see the expressions of the masses once the great movie star Bo’s persona collapsed.

This wasn’t the best place for him to stay longer, so he decided to leave and find Bo Yan. However, as soon as he turned around, he saw several supporting actors heading this way.

Xie Cheng raised an eyebrow and left directly.

"Hello, my name is Li Weiwei, and I play the fourth female lead in ’Glory’." Several supporting actors came over, but it was only Li Weiwei who took the initiative to strike up a conversation, her attitude indifferent and without much politeness.

Yuran, who was peeling chestnuts, spared a moment to look up, "Hello, Yuran."

Her introduction was somewhat perfunctory as well.

She clearly understood the tone of the other person’s voice, so naturally, she wasn’t going to be overly enthusiastic. She wasn’t out of her mind.

Li Weiwei didn’t seem to care and sat down next to Yuran, eyeing the chestnut in her hand. Everyone had seen the great movie star Bo give her something just now.

"Wow, those chestnuts look really delicious."

"Yeah, they are great. You should buy some to try when you have the chance," Yuran pretended to misunderstand.

The other supporting actors held back their laughter. Yuran was really something. Usually, a newcomer upon hearing such a comment would directly offer to share, saying ’Would you like to try one?’ But instead, she seriously told the person that it was delicious but not intended for them. If they wanted to eat, they should buy their own.

Li Weiwei was unhappy and frowned, "Hehe... Yuran, you have so many here, why don’t you share some with everyone?"

She was wheedling, not believing Yuran would refuse in front of so many people, as that would indirectly tell everyone that she was stingy. As a newcomer, she could not and would not dare to do so.

Yuran looked up, popping a peeled chestnut into her own mouth, and asked, "You want some too?"

Confused, Li Weiwei nodded her head.

Yuran was in a quandary, "I have a big appetite, and I wasn’t full from the boxed meal I had earlier. Miss Li, you really shouldn’t be trying to take my food! I’m very hungry right now."

The expressions of those around them changed one after another, most finding it amusing while only a very few thought Yuran’s handling of the matter wasn’t very smooth and that this might put her at a disadvantage.

All the supporting actors were around, and everyone saw Li Weiwei’s expression turn grave the moment she stood up abruptly, tilting her head and looking down at Yuran, "It seems that Miss Yuran carries quite an attitude."

Yuran furrowed her brows, "What attitude? Just because I won’t share my chestnuts with you?"

The shift in concept was so deft, everyone wanted to applaud her. Naturally, Li Weiwei couldn’t outright accuse her and only laughed in an attempt to mask her ferocity, "Yuran, I’ve heard that your acting has been going smoothly lately."

"Not bad... I’ve been working with experts, thanks to everyone’s care."

Did she expect her to brag about herself? How long had she been in the industry to be that naive to let others lead her by the nose? Dream on!

Not hearing what she wanted, Li Weiwei frowned, "I hear we have a scene together this afternoon."

"Oh, please do take care of me," Yuran answered nonchalantly and at ease.

She really couldn’t be bothered to get entangled with someone like Li Weiwei. Wasn’t it just because she couldn’t stand a newcomer getting the role of Tang Wan? Since the filming began, there had already been quite a few questioning her.

If she had to face someone’s ridicule, it had to be Li Weiwei who couldn’t help herself and was the first.

It wasn’t clear whether it was because her acting skills were outstanding or if it was her impressive background.

Or maybe, it was both.

But what did that have to do with her?

Though Xie Cheng had left, he hadn’t gone far and had heard everything Yuran said, a satisfied smile playing at the corners of his lips.

That’s how it should be, otherwise the chestnuts they had broken their legs running to buy would just be given away? Should everyone be able to eat them?

Couldn’t they buy their own if they wanted to eat?

Li Weiwei glared at Yuran hatefully before turning and walking away, her assistant following behind; they quickly left everyone’s view. At that moment, Actress No. 5 sidled up to Yuran and, after weighing her words carefully, began, "Yuran, it’s better not to offend Li Weiwei. If she wants chestnuts, just give her a couple."

Yuran shook her head firmly, "No, I’m possessive over my food, and I don’t want to share what I like with others. That’s my right."

Actress No. 5 nodded, "I know, there’s nothing wrong with that, but Li Weiwei... never mind, just be careful, that’s all."

"Thanks," Yuran said, finally looking up at the girl who offered her comfort. She was slightly plump with a round face, giving off a warm impression.

Actress No. 5 nodded, "I should go. Won’t keep you any longer."

In the film crew, there was no absence of open and covert struggles, but most chose to protect themselves wisely; thus, Yuran was quite surprised that this girl came to warn her. She nodded gratefully to Actress No. 5 and repeated her thanks before continuing to peel chestnuts.

She was quite skilled at peeling chestnuts, and soon she had peeled a good amount. She definitely couldn’t eat so many herself, so she looked around and, not seeing Bo Yan, decided to go rest in the car.

As she passed Bo Yan’s nanny van, the door opened, and she was suddenly pulled inside. Startled, she found herself wrapped in someone’s arms, and then Bo Yan’s light laughter reached her ears.

"Pff..."

Yuran turned her head to see the face so close to hers and smiled, "Bo the great movie star, how far did you go to buy these?"

As she spoke, she popped a chestnut into Bo Yan’s mouth. He ate it smoothly and raised an eyebrow, "Not far, it was on the way. Buying something for you is always on the way."

Yuran: "... You must’ve been raised on donuts!"

Bo Yan was puzzled: "... What do you mean?"

Yuran laughed, "Because you’re so sweet?"
