My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady
Chapter 255: Return

Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Return

He opened the red envelope with a feeling of utter desolation, the amount of 0.01 yuan made him despair.

He looked grimly at the great actor Bo Yan, "Bo Yan, do you have no heart? Is all my hard work for you only worth this little money? Is this how you treat me? Doesn’t your conscience hurt?"

Bo Yan responded matter-of-factly, "Be grateful, where can you find an artist as worry-free as me?"

Xie Cheng: "..."

As he spoke, Bo Yan continued chatting with Yuran, while Xie Cheng stared at the sky, speechless. He felt a deep sense of humiliation; the person humiliating him was his own artist, which made it even harder to bear.

Yuran, lying on her bed, saw Bo Yan’s reply and opened it, suddenly bursting into laughter.

[Bo Yan: "Baby, that guy must be more than just a fool, but since he’s rich and foolish, don’t mind it. Just think of it as doing a good deed, helping the needy."]

[Yuran: "Brother Qi, when are you coming back?"]

Unexpectedly, Yuran replied with that, and Bo Yan immediately felt comfortable and instantly sent her a video. Yuran reclined on her bed, and Bo Yan moved to a quiet corner with his phone. The two video-called almost daily but felt an increasing longing for each other each day.

Bo Yan gazed at her delicate face and suddenly smiled, whispering softly, "Baby, I miss you a lot."

Yuran blushed and said, "I miss you too, Brother Qi, when are you coming back? Why does your advertisement take so long to shoot? I’m so bored at home, and when I’m bored, I miss you a lot. If you were here with me, we would have so many things to do."

Bo Yan raised his eyebrows, "So many things, huh?"

Yuran paused, suspecting Bo Yan was being suggestive but had no proof. Embarrassed, she looked at him and said, "Brother Qi, that’s not okay."

Bo Yan watched her leisurely, smiling, "What’s not okay? Did I say something wrong, baby? If something’s wrong, why don’t you correct my wording? Is that okay?"

Yuran: "..." This man is shameless. She had inadvertently set herself up, and he was so brazen in his talk, giving no regard to her shyness.

Seeing Yuran remain silent, just staring straight at him, Bo Yan’s brows slightly arched; then, looking at the girl in the video, he really missed her terribly. He had never been in love before, but once he fell in love, he cherished the feeling so much that he wanted to watch her all the time.

"Baby, I miss you," he said.

Yuran smiled warmly, "You’ve already said that."

Bo Yan, "Baby, I miss you."

Yuran: "..."

Bo Yan, "Baby, I miss you."

The first and second time, Yuran could remain calm, but by the third time and the countless times after that, although the words were the same, Yuran’s eyes began to redden. She looked at the man in the video, somewhat at a loss, "Brother Qi..."

"Go to sleep, it’s late over there. I’ll finish my work as soon as possible and head back early, okay?"

"Okay!"

After the video call, Bo Yan immediately went to the director to inquire about his scenes, expressing his wish to finish them in one day. He was unhappy with the constant waste of time, even though he was compensated, because he was not short of money.

Speaking of the recent times, if it were just Bo Yan’s part being filmed, it should have ended already. An actor who never needs a re-take, with a high international status, repeatedly cooperating with others and wasting time here is somewhat unreasonable.

The director thought it over and agreed to Bo Yan’s request.

However, the supermodel who was collaborating with Bo Yan this time had status and background, a standout on the runway, dazzling and full of charm. While she was a genius at fashion shoots, her advertising skills left much to be desired.

When she found out Bo Yan was going to finish up his part and leave without collaborating with her, she was upset and approached Bo Yan that evening. Xie Cheng originally intended to intercept her and tactfully put in some good words to avoid offending anyone.

Unexpectedly, the supermodel didn’t give face and insisted on confronting Bo Yan to ask him personally. If she had to ask, she did, but her questions were heartless and stiff, and she was very full of herself. Bo Yan, who was packing his luggage, heard her and responded carelessly, "Working with you feels like accommodating someone intellectually challenged. If you don’t get it the first time, you still don’t get it after ten times. If you can’t do well in commercials, why not let someone capable take over? I’m just doing this ad as a favor, not to work with you. You seem to be mistaken. I’m famous worldwide, and you are only famous in the fashion circle. Don’t you think I have fame in fashion too?"

The supermodel was livid and dissed Bo Yan on her social media that same day.

The issue blew up a bit, becoming well known within just a day. Internationally and domestically, many people saw it; some criticized the supermodel, others criticized Bo Yan. But for Bo Yan, he was indifferent and calm.

Those who criticized him were definitely in the minority; his on-screen image was just too good.

No persona is the best persona.

Because of this incident, the surprise he wanted to give Yuran was totally not a surprise anymore, as everyone knew his return date from the news.

He rarely complained to Xie Cheng, "Tell me, is this woman nuts? I give her an honest opinion, and she makes it so complicated. Truly an eye-opener."

Xie Cheng: "..."

Didn’t Bo Yan realize that he was a bona fide, no-nonsense man when it came to anyone but Yuran?

The girl was spoken to like that by him; wasn’t it expected for her to vent?

But Bo Yan showed no signs of self-reflection whatsoever.

Yeah right, impressive. Better not to provoke.

...

The day Bo Yan returned, Yuran was approached by Yinchao. She had planned to meet Bo Yan, but ended up calling him to inform that Yinchao had got in touch with her about something, and she planned to see what it was about. What was he up to?

Upon hearing Yinchao’s name, Bo Yan seemed displeased and asked, "Baby, why do you need to see such a trashy person? I’ve heard his reputation in the industry isn’t good. Don’t get duped."

Yuran couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "Brother Qi, I know, I’m not a kid, he doesn’t have what it takes to deceive me."

Bo Yan thought, Little con artist, haven’t you been tricked by him badly enough?

Never mind, if the young lady wants to figure it out herself, he would just watch from the sidelines.

"Alright then, I’ll wait for you at home. Don’t talk too much with him, it’s bad for your IQ, alright?"

"Pfft..." Yuran couldn’t help but laugh, feeling very amused, "Yes, Brother Qi, I got it, thank you."
