Chapter 1176 - Felt His Heart Pound Wildly

“You’re trying to get my big girl free for buying my little girl?” Fang Yan joked back.

On the way back, Fang Yan told Yun Liuli about Director Hu’s offer.

“Don’t feel too pressured. Director Hu still has to draw up your storyboard and arrange your costume. Subsequently, you need to take the promotional stills. Filming will only start after all that. Shooting for ‘The General’ has just started, and it’s fine for your scenes to be filmed at the end. In any case, you don’t have any important engagements on your schedule!” Fang Yan paused for a moment before continuing, “It’s a dream come true for a newcomer to participate in such a major production. Especially since you’ll be acting alongside Shi Hanchu, whose movies guarantee box office success.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to Sister Yan.” Yun Liuli expressed her absolute faith in Fang Yan once again.

Fang Yan sent Yun Liuli to her performing class and also accompanied her to class, which she rarely did, before sending Yun Liuli back to the Cloud Top Condominium.

Fang Yan said that she was still in the midst of selecting Yun Liuli’s assistant and that she would get Yun Liuli’s assistant to drive her around when she found a suitable candidate. For the time being, Fang Yan’s assistant would be in charge of taking her around.

After watching Yun Liuli enter the Cloud Top Condominium, she was about to leave. It was then that Zhou Yuchen, who suddenly showed up out of nowhere, stood right before Fang Yan’s car, stopping her from leaving.

The car’s headlights shone at Zhou Yuchen, giving Fang Yan a clear view of the dark clouds that had accumulated in the depths of Zhou Yuchen’s eyes. She got out of the car and asked, “You’re Xiao Liuli’s classmate?”

Zhou Yuchen paused in surprise. This voice… belonged to a woman?

Zhou Yuchen stared at Fang Yan and said nothing.

Zhou Yuchen saw Yun Liuli get into Fang Yan’s car and was worried about her… Seeing that Fang Yan was older than Yun Liuli, he had thought that Fang Yan was a man who was lusting after Yun Liuli’s beauty.

“You are?” Zhou Yuchen asked.

“I’m Liuli’s older sister, and I’m also her manager…” Fang Yan asked Zhou Yuchen with a smile, “You like Liuli?”

Manager?

Was Yun Liuli planning to enter the entertainment industry?

Zhou Yuchen didn’t reply, merely turning to leave.

After confirming this wasn’t a man who had ulterior designs on Yun Liuli, Zhou Yuchen’s mind was put at ease.

But, if Yun Liuli was planning to enter that sort of industry…

Zhou Yuchen’s mother used to be an international model. He saw how difficult it was for his mother when he was young, so he knew how filthy that circle was. If Yun Liuli planned to take this route, Zhou Yuchen wouldn’t stop her.

He closed his eyes. If he wasn’t going to stop her… then how could he ensure Yun Liuli wouldn’t get hurt in this industry?

Fang Yan raised an eyebrow. It seemed like Zhou Yuchen had no intention of entering the entertainment industry, else he wouldn’t have simply turned and left after hearing she was a manager!

…

When Yun Liuli returned to the Cloud Top Condominium, she slumped onto her bed and took out her phone. She then sent a message to Gu Qingcheng’s phone number as usual, despite the fact it had already been turned off.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As usual, Yun Liuli told Gu Qingcheng what she had done today, that it was pretty tiring, and that she missed Gu Qingcheng dearly.

Yun Liuli then tapped open the one and only photo of Gu Qingcheng she had on her phone. Furthermore, it was only the photo of his back view…

Gu Qingcheng had never been fond of taking photos, and even this one, Yun Liuli had secretly snapped it.

Yun Liuli’s lips curled up, her eyes reddened. She secretly wiped her tears on the blanket that was filled with Gu Qingcheng’s scent.

“Thankfully… I’m not good at learning acting. I’m trying very hard to overcome this huge mountain that is acting! It’s very tiring… but if I’m tired and busy, I won’t miss you as much!”

Yun Liuli said in a choked voice while staring at the photo.

“But the minute I stop, I start missing you so much!”

Yun Liuli buried her head in the blankets…

She had thought that since Gu Qingcheng’s scent was there, her longing for him would be lesser!

Alas, she was wrong!

With her surroundings filled with Gu Qingcheng’s scent, it made her miss Gu Qingcheng even more, so much so that her heart was aching.

Yun Liuli wiped away her tears on Gu Qingcheng’s blanket, then set down her phone and wrapped herself with the blanket, imagining this was Gu Qingcheng wrapping her in his arms. She became even tearier.

It might have been better if Gu Qingcheng hadn’t said anything before he left. Let her think that… they were still the way they were previously, with Gu Qingcheng still treating her like a kid.

But now, she clearly knew that they liked each other. Yet, when Gu Qingcheng left, Yun Liuli had yet to snag him. She told Gu Qingcheng that she wanted him, but Gu Qingcheng asked her to wait for his return!

Yun Liuli regretted it so badly now. If she had known earlier, she would have taken him by force instead of discussing it with him!

After crying for a good while, Yun Liuli wiped away her tears on the blanket and pretended nothing had happened. She got up and made herself a cup of instant noodles, then went to rinse up. After eating the instant noodles, she opened her laptop and started writing a biography of the vampire queen in the MV according to what Shi Hanchu taught her.

After writing the biography, she practiced in front of the camera. Yun Liuli didn’t want to pass up on any opportunity to rehearse.

Despite the fact that, as Fang Yan had said, she only needed to be beautiful in the MV, she still wanted to use this as a practical trial and seriously act out the role.

Keeping busy was a good thing to Yun Liuli.

When she was busy, she wouldn’t mull over the fact that she was about to be separated from Gu Qingcheng for a few years and be devastated over that.

When she was busy, her mind would be occupied by other things, and she wouldn’t have the mental energy to miss Gu Qingcheng!

She wanted to transform into a partner who was capable of taking care of Gu Qingcheng while he was away.

Yun Liuli cheered herself up. At twelve, Yun Liuli climbed into bed to sleep. At 5:30 am, she woke up and rehearsed the aloof expression that a queen ought to wear on her face before the mirror.

At eight, when Fang Yan’s assistant came to pick Yun Liuli up, the young lady had already packed up and was drinking milk downstairs while waiting.

Director Liu had a rough idea. He asked the stylist to put on a white wig that reached her ankles and put on a slim-fitting and flowy white long skirt. In the first scene, other than drawing her eyebrows white, they would leave everything else untouched.

Yun Liuli’s features were exquisite and pretty to begin with. Her skin was fair and tender, and even without makeup, she was stunningly beautiful. Hence, the makeup artist merely colored Yun Liuli’s eyebrows and gave her red contact lenses.

The ancient forest set in the studio looked lush and exuberant, and it gave off a mysterious vibe. White flower petals and pale-colored fruits were scattered all over the ground, and right in the center of it all was a crystal throne.

Yun Liuli finished putting on her wig and had her eyebrows drawn, then walked into the recording studio dressed in a long skirt. Her figure was slender, and her face exquisite. Her red eyes were eye-catching, and her white hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall. She was so fair that even the red blood vessels on her face and neck could be seen.

Under the studio lighting, her skin was so fair it appeared to glow. It looked as if she was enveloped by a pure and holy white light. Amidst the striking green and red background, she appeared pure and clear…

Not only Director Liu, the photographer, and the crew on set, but even Fu Tianci, who had entered the recording studio, felt his heart pound wildly at the sight of her.
