Sweet Wife in My Arms

"Mom, you can help us with the logistics, order our meals and run some other miscellaneous errands?" Yan Huan said with a smile. "Yi Ling was supposed to go with us, but Little Lei is too young and she can't possibly leave him behind. Besides, the place that we're going to is quite far. That's why I'm asking for mom's help. I wonder if you're willing to shoulder the burden to make sure we're all fed."

Ye Shuyun stood up abruptly, dislodging Little Bean in the process which caused it to fall onto the ground. Thankfully, it was a cat and its balancing skills were excellent. Although it was rather fat and less agile than its brethren, it was, nonetheless, a cat. Its body was nimble enough to prevent it from getting hurt.

"Of course I'll go with you."

Ye Shuyun had never been to a production set before, nor had she seen a filming set in action. Besides, many of her favorite actors were acting in the movie and she would have the opportunity to hang around them in the future. She would then be living the days she had always dreamed of.

Ye Shuyun promptly packed her luggage and followed Yan Huan to the film set. Although she was only a minor crew member, she was very satisfied with her position.

"You are bringing mom with you?" Lu Yi sat down and gently tucked Yan Huan's hair behind her ears.

"Yes, mom will help me with the logistics." Yan Huan shook her head, trying to free her hair. However, her hands were full of food and she had no choice but to let Lu Yi do what he wanted.

Lu Yi combed her hair with his fingers, not wanting her to look like a cat with ruffled fur.

"Mom definitely needs to get out of the house. Even dad said that she's going through menopause and he's thinking about ways to soothe her volatile mood. Well, it's all settled now. Since she's going to follow you around, she will probably feel better."

"This is actually dad's request."

Yan Huan leaned backward and fell into Lu Yi's embrace. "In the future, mom will handle our logistics. I heard that she was really capable back then. However, with dad and you around, her ambitions and passion were all contained."

All women needed their own ambitions and careers. The same applied to Ye Shuyun. As all her time was occupied, she would no longer be bothered by the fact that Qin Xiaoyue actually made Su Muran her daughter-in-law and get herself worked up for no reason.

Yan Huan was all prepared.

Liang Chen, Qi Haoran, Zhou Zizhe and almost all the rest of the main cast were ready as well. In fact, Liang Chen had been waiting for them at the Movie City.

It was lucky that the courtyard they rented before this remained vacant and Yan Huan was able to rent it for the months ahead. This time, they would be filming at other places too and that was the toughest part, as the best effects could hardly be achieved from acting in front of a green screen.

Yan Huan preferred to film in the actual setting as the beauty and majesty of nature was not something that could be mimicked by mere computer graphics effects.

White Fox was actually a very hard movie to shoot, especially for the scenes that were set at the Snow Mountain. The shooting was carried out at a real snowy mountain, the tallest mountain that was located in Peace City. The temperature on the peak of the mountain was extremely low and it was covered in snow all year long.

The location was decided upon after a thorough discussion between Yan Huan and Director Jin.

Also, Director Jin was again the director for this film. In fact, he had volunteered to take up the role. When he knew that Yan Huan had the intention to produce the movie 'White Fox', he approached her immediately to ask if she needed a director. Naturally, Yan Huan was keen to work with Director Jin. They had worked together multiple times before and she owed her success to Director Jin for seeing the potential in her and nurturing her talents. Besides, Director Jin had a unique way of filming. He was a very bold man and therefore was the best candidate to direct a movie of this genre.

Yan Huan reckoned that Director Jin's work should be of a similar quality to Yan Hua's.

In fact, the first candidate for director whom she had in mind was Yan Hua. After all, he was very experienced in directing films of this genre. Unfortunately, Yan Hua was Su Muran's default director and Yan Huan was not capable of recruiting him.

Director Jin was her second choice, but the fact was kept absolutely hidden from Director Jin. With Director Jin's temper, it was unpredictable on how he would look at this matter. All artistic people had complex thoughts and emotions that common people would never be able to understand.

Nonetheless, she was not such an air-headed person to upset Director Jin.

Hence, white lies were sometimes necessary.

With white lies, both parties could feel at ease.

That was definitely the best choice.

First, they arrived at the snowy mountain in Peace City and hiked to the peak by foot. Meanwhile, those who were not involved in these scenes were gathered at the Movie City.

It was not too chilly at the foot of the mountain, but as they were approaching the peak, they were chilled to their bones. In fact, the current timing was the most suitable to shoot winter scenes, as the volume of the snow would reduce when the weather turned warmer. When it was cold, they would have an abundance of snow but the chill that came along was unbearable. As of now, it was snowing heavily on top of the mountain.

The crew set up the tents and cameras. Then, they waited for the actors to get ready.

"Are you feeling cold?" Yue Ran asked Yan Huan.

"You can try taking off your winter jacket. Then, you can tell me how you feel."

Yan Huan knew that her voice was trembling. It was at least negative seven to eight degrees Celsius and she was only wearing a thin layer of clothes. She was nearly freezing to death.

"When you were designing the outfit, why couldn't you let the little fox wear another layer of clothes? Even an extra cape would have spared me from this extreme weather," Yan Huan complained as she snuffled continuously.

Foxes were covered in fur and were not afraid of the cold.

Yue Ran picked up the makeup brush as he dusted Yan Huan's face with makeup. "I've always said that you have pretty features. Your small face makes you perfect to act as many different characters. For instance, your current role starts out as a 13-year-old and ends as an 18-year-old. Fortunately, the difference is not very significant. Otherwise, I'll have to figure out how to make you appear younger."

"However, I'm bound by the limit of my skills and I can't possibly make you look 10 years younger."

"Besides that, your…" He pointed at Yan Huan's breast, "Isn't flat. It's difficult to conceal it."

Yan Huan quickly covered her chest. This was the part of her body that she was most confident with. She had always been skinny. If her breasts were small, then she would be no different from an average girl.

Yue Ran was a very innocent man. He did not have any immodest thoughts, only thinking about how he could manipulate Yan Huan's appearance. He could make Yan Huan's face appear rounder so that she could look chubbier and younger. He made Yan Huan's eyes bigger too. As a whole, Yan Huan now looked like an adolescent girl.

In fact, Yan Huan was already a fully blossomed and married woman.

However, she never wanted to acknowledge her alluring charm because she wanted to remain pure and innocent.

She exited the tent and the cold wind blew right at her. She froze all the way to her throat and was unable to speak.

"Are you ready?" Director Jin asked Yan Huan.

Yan Huan made a gesture, signalling that she was ready. However, as it was too cold, she could not help but quiver uncontrollably. Even her breath seemed to have turned into ice cubes.
