The Dazzling Princess in Modern Times
Chapter 674: Protecting His Pride
“Wanyuan, why did you call me?” Yan Ci did not care about the fan on the floor. It had been a long time since he had contacted Xia Wan Yuan. He did not expect her to take the initiative to call him.
“I want to ask if you have Fu Li contact number?”
Paakk, the deer in Yan Ci's heart fell to his death.
“Yes. I'll send it to you.”
“Oke, thank you.”
“Not needed.”
After hanging up the phone, Yan Ci sent Fu Li's contact details to Xia Wanyuan. Seeing Yan Ci's sad expression, the manager couldn't help but tease him.
“What's wrong? Have you broken up?”
“Mm.” Yan Ci lethargic.
“What the fuck is this ?!” The manager gulped down the water in shock and nearly choked to death.
“Legregor, don't scare me. When did you start dating ?! ”
“Love claps one hand.” Yan Ci rolled his eyes towards his manager. “Why are you panicking?”
“..” The manager's heart started beating again, but when he recovered, he was a little curious. What kind of woman could make Yan Ci fall in love?
After getting Fu Li's contact information, he called her.
“Halo.” It was a clean and stable sound.
“Best Actor Fu, do you have time to go out for tea?” Fu Li almost refused when the other party added, “I Xia Wanyuan.”
“Oke.” Fu Li agreed.
When he arrived at the place Xia Wanyuan mentioned, Fu Li opened the door and entered. A pair of teary eyes stared at him.
“It's nice to meet you.” Although Fu Li was already in his thirties, he was still handsome and tall. The years had left a resolute look on his body, but it had left no trace on his face.
“Halo.” Xia Wanyuan gestured for Fu Li to sit down. “Thanks for keeping ‘Moon As Frost’.”
No matter how much money “Moon As Frost” offered, it was impossible to hire someone of such high status as Yan Ci.
Xia Wanyuan wondered why Yan Ci was acting in this film. When he heard that Yan Ci and Fu Li were close brothers, he knew it.
“No need to thank me. Your script is very good, and your filmmaking is not bad either. Yan Ci has praised you to me before. Not many people in the entertainment industry could receive praise from him.” Ever since Xia Wanyuan found out, Fu Li no longer hid it.
In fact, Yan Ci was more than just praising Xia Wanyuan. He was full of compliments for her.
Fu Li looked at Xia Wanyuan seriously, who was sitting in front of him. She was graceful like an orchid, beautiful and clear.
Initially, he thought the proverb ‘ beauty was in the eyes of the beholder’ applies to Yan Ci. But now, it seemed that even the praise from Yan Ci could not compare to the elegance of an actual person.
“Senior, I invite you out today especially for one thing.” Xia Wanyuan sipped her tea. “Do you like Tang Yin?”
"...” Fu Li's hand stopped. “We've been friends for years.”
“You like Tang Yin.” This time, Xia Wanyuan sounded very confident.
Fu Li wanted to retaliate, but when he met Xia Wanyuan's cold eyes, it was as if all the pretense had lost its meaning.
“Why are you looking for me now? You want me to tell Tang Yin that I like her? I know him better than you. If I take this step, I will completely lose him. I don't even have the right to be friends with him.”
Tang Yin only remembered that the first day she met Liu Xingchuan was in the garden of the Film Academy. However, on that day, Liu Xingchuan's roommate, Fu Li, also stood beside the garden.
Tang Yin and Liu Xingchuan fell in love at first sight.
No one knew that that arrogant smile had also fallen into Fu Li's heart.
“Do you know why they broke up back then?” Xia Wanyuan investigated.
Fu Li tightened his grip on the cup. Even someone as subtle as him could not hide the pain in his eyes.
“Sounds you know.” Xia Wanyuan understood.
Fu Li did not even need to answer. The great regret seeping out of his body had already explained everything.
“Night Liu Xingchuan proposed to Tang Yin, I got drunk. When I woke up the next day, I heard that they had broken up. I went looking for Tang Yin happily, but she went missing and cut off all contact with us.”
Fu Li had never told anyone about this. Today, when she told Xia Wanyuan about it, she was shocked to realize that these things had long been hidden in her heart. When he took them, his heart was still very sick.
Before Xia Wanyuan took Fu Li out, she had checked Fu Li's information.
She obviously came from a wealthy family, yet she followed Tang Yin into the entertainment industry after graduation.
Five years ago, after the Tang Yin incident, Fu Li and Liu Xingchuan dispersed and left the country. This year, Tang Yin returned to the entertainment world and Fu Li returned to China.
“Tang Yin will be on vacation soon. It's his itinerary.” Xia Wanyuan handed a stack of documents to Fu Li.
“What do you mean?” Fu Li looked at Xia Wanyuan in confusion.
“He's a very proud man. He won't accept me. I just want to stay by his side. It doesn't matter even if we become friends forever.”
“Alright, then I'll find someone else. When the time comes, you are welcome to be his companion.” Xia Wanyuan picked up the document and was about to leave when Fu Li stopped her.
“Give me.” Fu Li took the documents.
Xia Wanyuan smiled. “Contact me if you need anything.” Then he got up and left.
Fu Li saw Xia Wanyuan leave, sighing inwardly.
It would be great if such a good girl could be together with Yan Ci.
......................
Xia Wanyuan had just gotten out of the cafe when she received a call from the company.
The company has not contacted him directly for a long time. After Xia Wanyuan hung up, she went to Star Creation Entertainment.
From the moment he entered the office, he realized that the company executives were acting strangely.
He's being too polite. It could even be said that he was careful.
“Nona Xia?” The company's management is still in a state of speculation. She wasn't sure if Xia Wanyuan was really Jun Corporation's wife, but her instinct told her that she should treat her well.
The manager laughed. “Tang Yin is on leave. There are events that require your personal opinion. If you're ready, we'll take it. Otherwise, we won't take it.”
“What way?”
