Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

"This…" Ran Xueyi sent a helpless glance at Wu Qi, who also shared the same look with her. The two of them were slightly surprised to see this side of the silent kid whom she met three years ago when she wanted him to join her company.

Suddenly, Ran Xueyi's eyes flashed and she asked the older man an unexpected question, "What role did Yao Chuan play last time?"

Wu Qi found her question strange, but he dutifully answered, "From what I know, it was a man who was abandoned by his family and found by a young miss, who he was in love with and subservient to."

Hearing this, Ran Xueyi felt a headache coming.

The reason why people like her and Yao Chuan had to be careful with what role they take was exactly because of this.

They synchronize with the character too well that their empathetic direction made it possible for them to think as if they were the character they're playing as, which also made it difficult for them to separate themselves from the role once it ends.

Right now, Ran Xueyi deduced that Yao Chuan was suffering from the side effects. And terribly so at that as well.

Seeing her grim expression, Wu Qi felt anxious and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"There is… Can you call his manager to come to my office?"

"Manager Cai isn't here. He's currently in City H for a negotiation with the next filming crew."

"Then can you call him and ask him what Yao Chuan does whenever he finishes his roles? Tell him to think thoroughly. It doesn't matter what it is… We can't let Yao Chuan stay like this."

Wu Qi hurriedly called Manager Cai. It took him three minutes to hear what Yao Chuan usually does whenever he finishes a role.

Wu Qi said, "He usually listens to music. As for what music, Yao Chuan doesn't let anyone hear it so Manager Cai couldn't tell what song it was."

Ran Xueyi furrowed her brows and looked at the young man kneeling in front of her.

If she hadn't known that Yao Chuan was the same type as her, she would have thought that this young man was out of his mind.

"My lady, do you not like me anymore?" Yao Chuan glanced up at her with a bit of hurt in his eyes. At a glance, it seems that any negative response would break his heart.

Like? Ran Xueyi blanked out for a moment and saw Yao Chuan's mouth pursing together as if he was about to cry. It made her wonder if Yao Chuan's role in his previous film was a puppy young brother type of male lead.

But what made her even more confused was that she was not the female lead of his movie. Why did he suddenly view her the same as her? Could it be that Yao Chuan actually viewed her as his savior?

Ran Xueyi didn't get her answer as Yao Chuan suddenly stood up and held her hands tightly. His eyes were now filled with water and threatened to spill out of the corners of his eyes.

"You really don't like me anymore? You don't want me anymore?" Yao Chuan sorrowfully said.

Ran Xueyi: "…"

Who likes you? Who wants you?

"Ugh.." Ran Xueyi tasted a bitter taste in her mouth. She never expected to see first-hand what type of people like her and Yao Chuan could end up becoming once they couldn't move on from their roles.

It wasn't that she never experienced it. It was just that in Ran Xueyi's case, she never acted like this in front of anyone. The worst she could get was that she would isolate herself from the world until her character fades out of herself.

"Ha… call in a psychologist to check up on him. I can't have him go on like this in the future." Ran Xueyi mercilessly pushed away the hands that held hers tightly.

As much as she wanted to help Yao Chuan control himself after diving deeply into his own roles, she didn't like others touching her like this nor will she allow herself to play along his actions.

Even though he still didn't understand what was going on with Yao Chuan, Wu Qi still called in the company's psychologist.

…

"Do you perhaps know what is going on with Yao Chuan? Why did he suddenly act like that towards you?" asked Wu Qi.

Ran Xueyi replied, "CMA or Coalesce Method Acting."

"Coalesce?"

"It means coming together, joining, or as a whole. Initially, it was named Combinare Method Acting. It comes from the Latin word Combinare. But science ended up calling it Coalesce Method Acting," Ran Xueyi softly said as the psychologist entered the room again. She asked, "Is he fine now?"

The psychologist nodded. "He's sleeping like a child now. He should wake up and be completely out of the chains of his role." Then taking a breath, he added, "I'm surprised that Miss Ran actually knew about Coalesce Method Acting."

"You're not surprised that I'm the president of this company?" Ran Xueyi smiled at him.

Tian Hua shook his head and replied honestly, "I'm shookt actually. But I get my money from you so I have no questions about it. But I still want to know how did you know about CMA? Not many know about this and even if they did, they will never understand it."

"Are you perhaps also…"

Ran Xueyi sighed slightly in her heart.

She didn't admit to it and only said, "I only heard about it from someone I know. So I could tell that Yao Chuan might be suffering from the same illness."

"Most wouldn't call it an illness, Miss Ran. But I do agree it does something to a person's mentality." Tian Hua said, "Still, many people call it a blessing. Most actually intend to reach this kind of impossibilities. Being able to become another person will be helpful for actors like Yao Chuan and you. I bet the person who told you about this is happy to have CMA in their lives if they turned out to be an actor."

"I wonder about that…" Ran Xueyi couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

As soon as Wu Qi left with Tian Hua, her office was shrouded with darkness. The surrounding was also devoid of any sound as she glanced at her reflection in the ceiling-to-floor glass windows that surrounds her office.

"Blessing, huh?" Ran Xueyi softly laughed to herself.

Tian Hua was an expert in psychology. There was no doubt about it since he was even able to treat Yao Chuan in just one session of therapy.

But he was useless against Ran Xueyi.

After all, he couldn't even tell her lie when she said it was someone she knew and not herself.

CMA, it was a destructive ability that Ran Xueyi didn't want to acknowledge in her life. Once she does, it will destroy her mind and cloud her judgment. She already witnessed some who lost their minds and lost their entire life because of it.

She naturally wouldn't let it reign her..

…

The next day, Ran Xueyi left early again.

Xiao Zhanzhan was already used to her leaving so he no longer threw a tantrum. But another person was not pleased by her leaving so early.

Song Yu Han glanced out of the window as he watched Ran Xueyi drove off her car. A frown was on his face when Xiao Zhanzhan stood next to him.

"A'Yu, why are you glaring at the window?"

Song Yu Han patted him on the head and erased the frown on his face when he looked down at his son. "It's nothing. But aren't you sad that mommy is going out without you?"

Xiao Zhanzhan tilted his head in confusion and thoughtfully said, "Nope! Mommy has work so she had to go outside. I'm not sad!" Then, he suddenly thought of something and asked him, "A'Yu is sad because mommy left? Mommy will be back soon so don't be sad."

Song Yu Han was filled with warmth as he saw his son trying to comfort him. He carried the little guy in his arms and gave him a kiss on the cheeks, which delighted Xiao Zhanzhan so much that he also kissed Song Yu Han back on the cheeks.

"Zhanzhan, daddy is not sad that mommy went outside," Song Yu Han started to explain to his son as he carried him to sit on the couch. "Mommy did not eat her breakfast so daddy is afraid that she might get sick."

"Get sick? Like when I get ouchie?" Xiao Zhanzhan blinked his eyes and pursed his small lips. "Oh no! Mommy can't get ouchie!"

Ouchie? Song Yu Han still went along with his son despite not understanding some of his words, "That's right. Mommy will become sick if she doesn't eat anything in the morning. Say, what do you think daddy should do to not make mommy get sick?"

Xiao Zhanzhan fell into a trance as he tried to remember what his mommy did to him whenever he had a fever. Mommy fed him food, made him drink bitter juice (medicine), and tucked him in bed…

Ah, there was another thing mommy always did whenever he had a fever…

Song Yu Han saw his son thinking deeply with his brows scrunched up together, looking so adorable. He felt his heart being squeezed tightly in a good way and he couldn't help but want to hug this little guy even more.

But just as he was about to give his son another kiss on the head, Xiao Zhanzhan was already done thinking.

Then, he heard Xiao Zhanzhan say, "A'Yu should give mommy a kiss!"
