Hello Mr. King

“Then we’ll see what happens by that time,” Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t as adamant now.

She loved being an actress not for its glamor, but for its ability to experience different paths of life.

To her, being an actor wasn’t just about providing entertainment and relaxation to the public. Using their influence and following to provide something valuable was the core of this job.

“Five Millenia: A History” was a rare kind of show. It wasn’t done because it wanted to pump any actor’s popularity, nor was it because they wanted profit. Its idea was to awaken the youth to their ancestors’ fruits of wisdom.

If this program became a success, more people would understand the long history behind Chinese cultural heritage.

The program team sent her an invitation this early in its production probably because they noticed her influence among the youth from her being “double best actress” in the graduates’ film festival.

It was also an acknowledgement toward her personality to give her this kind of duty.

Yun Xiangxiang noticed that the company that planned this and the show’s producer were big names in the industry. She knew this show would be successful.

It would also probably be supported by the government. It was a meaningful show after all.

Yun Xiangxiang wanted to take part if possible. It wasn’t to gain more fans or fame. She just wanted to learn more and contribute toward the promotion of traditional culture.

She wanted more people to understand, love, and appreciate their country’s culture.

Aside from acknowledging her, Yun Xiangxiang knew the program team wanted to give her more time to prepare and allocate some time for the show. That was why they sent the early invitation.

She made a mental note about this. She would look at how they would record the show, and how many episode they would be doing in a year.

She would do it herself if she could. If she couldn’t she could only leave this as a regret.

“Brother Wei, I’ll be going to South Africa two days later.” Yun Xiangxiang took the chance, “I want to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday.”

He Wei was speechless.

Sometimes he would prefer it if Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t so honest.

But what to do? She was his actress. What could he do except spoil her, “Got it. Be safe.”

“I’ll come back in one piece,” Yun Xiangxiang guaranteed.

Since Song Yao would come to fetch her, she didn’t need to buy any tickets.

The day before she left, Yun Xiangxiang went to the hospital in the neighboring city to visit Dai Hua’s girlfriend, Lan Yue.

The verdict for the criminal group was passed. The boss was sentenced to death. Most of them were sentenced to life imprisonment. Dai Hua was supposed to be in jail for ten years for his involvement in the crimes, and the sheer amount he had stolen.

But Yun Xiangxiang mentioned that it was Dai Hua’s reminder that contributed to the group’s capture. His verdict was reduced by five years.

He had the lightest punishment among all of them. He was twenty-four this year. By the time he was released, he wouldn’t even be thirty.

She hoped he would turn a new leaf during his time in prison and lead an honest life after he came out.

Lan Yue looked ordinary, but she had a great smile. It was infectious.

“I didn’t expect to receive a visit from you. It’s like a dream,” Lan Yue found Yun Xiangxiang’s visit unbelievable.

There were other patients in the ward. They sized Yun Xiangxiang up. “I’ll take you out for a stroll,” she said.

It was inconvenient for Lan Yue to move. Her family got the wheelchair from the reception for her. They didn’t dare let Yun Xiangxiang touch it.

Yun Xiangxiang covered her with a blanket. She said to her mother, “Auntie, let my assistant push the wheelchair. I have something I need to say to Lan Yue alone.”

“Yes, yes, yes…,” Lan Yue’s mother was nervous. She kept on nodding.

Coco pushed Lan Yue. They went to the rooftop where nobody was there. Coco stood guard at the door, preventing any reporters from barging in.

Since Yun Xiangxiang’s critique against Newlead last time forced them to apologize to the hospital and pay for damages, the hospital, and Yun Xiangxiang, reporters were more sensitive about places like hospitals.

This matter happened not long ago. Nobody dared to take the risk yet.

“Is it chilly?” Yun Xiangxiang asked softly. They would be surrounded if she was in the park. She couldn’t let anyone hear what she had to say.

“Not really,” Lan Yue shook her head smilingly.

Yun Xiangxiang cut to the chase, “You must be wondering why I know you. Actually, I saw Dai Hua early this month…”

Yun Xiangxiang told Lan Yue about what happened after getting the green light from the police. The matter about Dai Hua getting convicted didn’t make the news. Only his parents were notified.

Lan Yue bawled after she listened to the story. Yun Xiangxiang squatted down and looked at her. She held her hands.

“Lan Yue, you can cry. But I hope you’ll stay strong and win your battle. You don’t have to worry about the fees. Five years isn’t that long. If he behaves well, he’ll be let out earlier.

“I hope you’ll have won your battle by the time he’s released. You guys can be a happy family then.”

“En en en…,” Lan Yue nodded as she sobbed. She didn’t know what to say.

Yun Xiangxiang could see the fight in her eyes. She truly wished for her to create a miracle and win her battle against the disease.

She hoped every loving couple could have their happily ever after.

Yun Xiangxiang sent Lan Yue back to her ward after consoling her. She gave her a bracelet before she left.

Yun Xiangxiang started packing the next day. As she waited for Song Mian, a news article appeared on the Net. The headline read, “Yun Xiangxiang Cares for Terminal Patient.”

The photos were that of her visit to the hospital that day. Lan Yue didn’t appear on camera. Yun Xiangxiang knew He Wei did that.

“Brother Wei said that you visiting someone who isn’t a family or friend would pique someone’s curiosity. They will get to the bottom of this. Releasing the story is better for you, and we can ask for the public to support the patients,” Coco explained.

“Brother Wei did the right thing,” Yun Xiangxiang felt touched. She didn’t make a perfect plan.

But fortunately, she had He Wei. No matter what she did, as long as she told him beforehand, he could clean up her mess after her.

After settling Yun Lin down, Yun Xiangxiang and Ai Li rode Song Mian’s helicopter in the midnight, starting their travel to South Africa, which she had only heard stories of.

It was more than ten hours of flight. When they arrived at that place, it was late in the night. Song Mian had arranged everything. After they had landed in El Dorado, there was a car waiting to send them to where Song Mian stayed.

It had not been too long since they were separated, but Yun Xiangxiang was excited when she saw Song Mian. She pounced on him.

Song Mian moved quickly and caught his girlfriend. He took her inside in his arms, not caring about Ai Li and Song Mian. He left her luggage for them to settle.
