The next day, on the filming set...
Lin Yan wasnât feeling too well, so she didnât even play any games. After she had her makeup done, she sat there in a daze.
Duoduo sat beside her and stole furtive glances at her. Then, she cleared her throat by coughing gently. âDonât mind those negative remarks online. Itâs always better when people talk about you in the entertainment industry than when they ignore you. Besides, your acting is quite good. As long as you stay away from horrible shows and listen to Sister Ling, everything will get better...â
Lin Yan fluttered her eyelashes and raised her head. Feeling overwhelmed by Duoduoâs encouragement, she exclaimed, âDarling Duoduo, are you comforting me?â
Duoduoâs expression froze. âWho is comforting you? I was just afraid that you might be too affected to film properly and then you would affect Sister Lingâs reputation! I heard that Han Yixuan will be filming today. If you arenât in the right condition, then how are you supposed to act today?â
Lin Yan grinned affectionately at the little lass, who was trying to cover up her lie. âDonât worry, I wonât have anything to do with him. The scenes today are quite simple.â
Wei Xufeng had applied for leave, so her scenes were being pushed forward.
She wondered if the blow he had received was too severe. That kid kept updating his Weibo with sorrowful posts...
Every time he did, she would be lambasted...n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lin Yan pulled herself together and managed to finish all her scenes that day.
After she removed her makeup and changed clothes, she picked up her cloth bag and left the set.
âSister Yan, are you going back home?â
âYou go first. Iâm meeting my friend, so Iâll take the train.â
âSister Yan, Sister Ling should get a car for you once you get more shows. Itâs too inconvenient to commute by train or bus every day. I wonder when will you receive an offer for the next one... It might take years...â
Lin Yan and Duoduo, who were chatting as they walked out, bumped into someone while they turned a corner.
Last time, they had bumped into Pei Nanxu. This time, it was Han Yixuan...
Duoduoâs eyes widened in shock when she saw Han Yixuan and his assistant. Instinctively, she grabbed Lin Yanâs clothes.
The four of them remained rooted to the spot.
Han Yixuan raised his head and frowned when he saw Lin Yan.
Nobody spoke for some time.
Lin Yanâs gaze lingered on Han Yixuanâs face for less than a second. Then, she swept past him with determination and marched ahead...
Duoduo heaved a sigh of relief and scuttled after her.
After several steps, a manâs voice interrupted them. âLin Yan, letâs talk.â
Duoduo could feel her scalp going numb when she heard Han Yixuan.
What was going on?
Why would the other party initiate a conversation with Lin Yan?
Pei Nanxu... Wei Xufeng... Now, Han Yixuan...
Nothing was happening the way the rumors had described.
Duoduo swallowed her saliva and glanced cautiously at Lin Yan.
The latter ignored Han Yixuan and continued walking away as though she hadnât heard anything.
Han Yixuan rushed forward and stopped Lin Yan. âLin Yan!â He raised his voice.
Lin Yan glanced at her phone, looking displeased. âSorry, Mr. Han. Iâm in a rush.â
Han Yixuan trudged on. âIt will be just a short talk.â
His cologne made Lin Yanâs mood worse. âDo I have to listen if you want to talk?â
