Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Director Zhao's face contorted as soon as Peng Qingling opened her mouth.

Unfair?

Director Zhao choked, feeling helpless and resentful towards Peng Qingling. This woman was just the author of the novel they wanted to adapt in a movie they wanted to direct. How arrogant could she be for her to tell him this was unfair?

However, even if Director Zhao was feeling bitter at her words, he couldn't do anything to her. Peng Qingling might just be an author anyone could trample on if anyone wanted to. However, the person behind her was certainly not someone whom they could afford to offend.

"Miss Peng, you might be like this now, but... who was to know if your decision is still the same when the filming starts?" Director Zhao restrained his anger.

Another director butted in and nodded in agreement with Director Zhao's words. He said: "He's right. I know Ran Xueyi is a veteran actress and has a wide experience in acting different roles in the industry. However, it's been six years." He glanced at Ran Xueyi and asked her, "May I ask, but... during those six years, what have you been doing? Were you practicing acting behind closed doors?"

The other director's words were harsh and were meant to humiliate Ran Xueyi. Everyone was uncertain if Ran Xueyi really did practice acting during the six years she was gone, but everyone also knew that she was preparing for her engagement with a certain wealthy young master.

"That is why... I think Director Zhao's niece is more suited for the second female lead than Ran Xueyi." The director who said this didn't even look half apologetic as he stared down at Ran Xueyi.

However, Ran Xueyi didn't back down as she said before anyone could make a decision. "Directors, it is true that I have been away from the entertainment industry for a very long time. Six years is not something to joke about. I am also not the same Ran Xueyi in the past... And by that I mean.. I already went past my limits from six years ago." She didn't show any hatred on her face even after all this time.

"Words alone cannot be trusted. You should know that Ran Xueyi..." said the other director.

Peng Qingling was dissatisfied. These two were ganging up on Ran Xueyi and even ignored her, the author of the novel!

Just as Peng Qingling was about to open her lips to speak, Director Lan held her shoulder and spoke first. "Now, now. Let's not fight over this... Why don't we do this instead? On the first day of the filming day, will we have both Miss Ran and Miss Qin act out the scene in front of everyone? Then we will decide who will play the part of the female lead after we get everyone's opinion?"

This was the only appropriate solution to the stalemate inside the room.

And so, Ran Xueyi was fixed to attend the booting ceremony of the movie and will immediately act alongside the other actors if she were picked.

After the audition was finished, Ran Xueyi picked her bag and was about to leave the waiting room when she saw Director Lan and Peng Qing ling standing by the door.

The two appeared to be specially waiting for her.

"Miss Ran!" Peng Qingling called her name out.

"Miss Peng, Director Lan," she greeted them, a little nervous.

Peng Qingling had a wide smile on her lips, "Miss Ran, you're amazing! I've never seen director Zhao's face turning so dark like that ever!"

Director Lan also laughed. "That's right. I've known him since the first day I started as a director. But this was the first time I saw him look like he had eaten a lemon and couldn't spit it out."

The two were so excited and happy.

Ran Xueyi shook her head and didn't accept their compliments.

"No, no... I don't deserve your praises. Actually, I was really scared when I stood in front of everyone. Look, my hands are still shaking."

She showed them her trembling hands and looked a bit embarrassed.

To tell the truth, Ran Xueyi was feeling really nervous while she was inside the audition room. It was the first time she didn't hold back in front of someone since six years ago.

Luckily, her first battle was won without issues.

"The booting ceremony will be held on the 4th of this month. So make sure to wake up early and make yourself appear presentable. Anyway, we'll see you next week." Director Lan told Ran Xueyi before he took Peng Qingling back to the audition room.

Ran Xueyi bid her farewell to them.

...

The next day, Ran Xueyi's shedule was free. She had nothing to do, however, she had a lot of things to prepare before the booting ceremony day arrived.

"Good morning..." greeted Ran Xueyi as soon as she stepped foot in the kitchen.

Song Yu Han was standing behind the counter with a plate in his hand. He went around the counter before stopping to gently put the plate on the dining table.

"How's your audition?" Song Yu Han kissed her forehead and asked.

Yesterday, Song Yu Han had to rush over to Yu Corporation and had to spend his entire day reading contract proposals and reports. When he arrived home, Ran Xueyi was already asleep on their bed and he couldn't ask her how she did in the audition.

Ran Xueyi's heart was filled with warmth at the feeling of his lips on her skin...

"The booting ceremony will be on the 4th of this month. The directors told me to attend it and start filming for my role," Ran Xueyi sat down across from him. "However, It's still unsure if I will get the role."

"Why? Didn't you get the role already?" Song Yu Han frowned.

"Well, yes... But the role was already taken before the audition even started. So, in the end, they will let me and the other actress act the role and the directors will pick who will play the role of the second female lead."

Ran Xueyi didn't want to hide anything from him. So, she told him what exactly happened.

After hearing what happened on the day of the audition, Song Yu Han's face was dark. His eyes had gone colder and dangerous as he gazed at her.

Ran Xueyi grabbed his hand and reassured him, "Hey, I didn't tell you all of this just so you would waste your time and effort towards someone like Director Zhao. Don't worry, I got this."

"But that Director Zhao and that other director insulted you."

"Song Yu Han, do you think... I am not prepared to be insulted by everyone? After all the things that happened in my life, do you think I'd be affected by their hurtful words?" Ran Xueyi sneered. She had enough of being depressed over other people's words and actions. It was time for her to move.

"Trust me. I won't let anyone trample me again..."
