Chapter 1050: Battle for Favor; An Rao Cried

Xia Wanyuan put down the script and greeted An Rao before changing into her costume.

“Okay, staff, get ready. Let’s start filming!” After Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran changed their clothes, the director gave the order and all the staff were in position.

Under the dim yellow light, the plain-clothed Xia Wanyuan was sewing the torn robe in her hand under the candlelight.

After the dynasty was destroyed, the precious little princess now had to personally patch her brother’s torn clothes.

On the bed not far away, her younger siblings were sleeping.

The lights were like fireflies. Xia Wanyuan sat in front of the candlelight and stitched the patches into a pattern of an auspicious cloud. Because of this pattern, the coarse linen clothes seemed to have a luster.

The candlelight swayed quietly, reflecting on the hair hanging down from Xia Wanyuan’s forehead, glowing gently.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the window. Xia Wanyuan looked up warily, but a smile appeared in her eyes when she saw who it was.

Xia Wanyuan put down the robe in her hand and walked softly into the courtyard.

“Miss, you’re still sewing so late at night?” Cai Ling, who was played by Su Yueran, walked towards Xia Wanyuan with a bamboo basket.

Cai Ling was from a farmer’s family, but she had an extremely good face. It was because of this that she was liked by the bullies in the countryside and wanted to snatch her back to the residence.

It was Xia Wanyuan and her younger siblings who passed by. Seeing that she was pitiful, they saved her.

Cai Ling was grateful to Xia Wanyuan, but the countryside people had nothing else to give her. They could only get some tofu overnight and go into the river to catch a few fish for Xia Wanyuan.

“Miss, thank you for saving me today. If you need my help in the future, just tell me. I’ll definitely help.” Cai Ling’s eyes were clear and bright with the most primitive innocence.

“You’re too kind. I’m older than you. You can call me elder sister.” Xia Wanyuan, who had just experienced the pain of her country being destroyed, was touched by Cai Ling’s simplicity.

“Hey! Sister!” Cai Ling called out to Xia Wanyuan happily and handed the basket in her hand to her. “This is for you. I’ll send it to you tomorrow!”

“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan took the basket and smiled at Cai Ling.

The moonlight tonight was beautiful, but it was not as beautiful as the real feelings in the eyes of the two women.

No matter who saw the light in their eyes at this moment, they would think that this was a relationship that surpassed a lifetime. No one could have expected that in just a few years, Cai Ling would become the first sharp knife to stab Xia Wanyuan.

“Good!” The director watched quietly until the end before praising, “You’ve grasped your feelings very well. As expected, you’re good friends in and out of filming!”

The director was just saying it casually, but An Rao did not think so.

Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran were acting just now, but their sincere feelings made one feel as if they were there themselves. They could feel the light in their eyes.

An Rao’s heart ached even more. She liked Xia Wanyuan so much and did not want to share her with other women.

When Xia Wanyuan returned after removing her makeup, she realized that An Rao was kicking the stones by her feet in disappointment.

“Let’s go. I’ll treat you to lunch.” Xia Wanyuan thought that An Rao missed Bo Xiao, so she wanted to bring her to change her mood.

An Rao pursed her lips and glanced at Su Yueran, who was walking over not far away. “Just the two of us?”

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan knew that An Rao was afraid of Jun Shiling. “I’ll call Jun Shiling and ask him not to come. The two of us can just eat.”

“Okay.” An Rao’s mood warmed up a little.

Jun Shiling had already gotten out of the elevator. Just as he was thinking about what to bring Xia Wanyuan to eat later, he received a call from her.

“Baby, this is too much.” After hearing Xia Wanyuan’s explanation, Jun Shiling stopped in his tracks.

“Please understand, CEO Jun. It’s not easy for An Rao to come out.”

“Oh, then accompany me for dinner tonight.” Jun Shiling waved at Lin Jing behind him and turned to return to the elevator. Without Xia Wanyuan accompanying him, he could just casually settle his lunch at the company.

“Okay,” Xia Wanyuan agreed. “I’ll wait for you at home tonight, okay?”

“Good girl.” Jun Shiling was satisfied. “Put on a scarf when you go out. Don’t catch a cold.”

“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan hung up.

An Rao watched from the side as Xia Wanyuan called Jun Shiling with a smile on her face. Her already uncomfortable heart became even more complicated.

She missed Bo Xiao. Not long ago, when she went out, Bo Xiao would also patiently instruct her.

“Let’s go.” Xia Wanyuan could tell that An Rao was unhappy. She pulled her arm and walked out. “What do you want to eat?”

An Rao told her the name of the restaurant she had been thinking about at home for a long time. Xia Wanyuan drove her to the restaurant.

The restaurant was very quiet, and the hall was filled with soothing piano music.

An Rao, who had just come to the production team to look for Xia Wanyuan, was still alive and kicking. At this moment, she was silent and depressed. Xia Wanyuan pushed the dessert in front of her. “What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?”

An Rao sniffed. She wanted to say something but felt a little embarrassed. In the end, she swallowed her words and said tactfully, “Sister, does Su Yueran get along well with you?”

Xia Wanyuan thought that An Rao would ask about Bo Xiao, but she did not expect An Rao to be interested in Su Yueran. “She just came to the production team. I don’t know her well.”

“Oh.” An Rao continued to probe. “Then isn’t her acting pretty good?”

Xia Wanyuan nodded and commented objectively, “Her professional ability is very good.”

An Rao’s heart turned cold. “She’ll still listen to your class. Will she understand?”

“She seems to have come from a literature major. Her understanding of many problems is quite unique.”

An Rao’s heart turned cold.

It was over. It was only the second day they had met, but Yuan Yuan already felt that Su Yueran’s acting skills were good and she was cultured!! 

A few days later, Yuan Yuan would definitely feel that Su Yueran had a good personality and they had a common language!

Xia Wanyuan was a little puzzled. Why did An Rao look even more unhappy than before after a few words? “Why are you suddenly interested in her?”

“Nothing.” An Rao pinched the spoon and poked the cake in front of her into pieces.

Xia Wanyuan did not like to pry. She only thought that An Rao was in a bad mood, so she did not ask further. At that moment, the waiter brought the food over. Xia Wanyuan and An Rao lowered their heads to eat, and the table fell silent.
