Did you miss me?

A deep, sexy voice sounded in her ear, and Qin Wan's body instinctively stiffened because of the other person's sudden approach.

"Judging from your reaction, you must have wanted to." As he spoke, the man's lips curled up, revealing a faint look of satisfaction and pleasure.

"I know you're shy and embarrassed to admit it. Don't worry, I won't call you out on it."

Qin Wan: "???"

Jiang Yan is a bit of a flirt.

"It's been years since we last met, Jiang Yan, you're still as...adorable as ever." After much deliberation, Qin Wan decided to save face for her beloved.

"Our Wanwan is so sweet-talking." Jiang Yan was pleased and reached out to pinch Qin Wan's fair cheek with a grin.

After finishing, he gave a satisfied comment, "It feels good."

Qin Wan: "..."

"Brother Jiang Yan, so many people are watching," Qin Wan kindly reminded the man who had absolutely no sense of being a celebrity.

"You'll get used to it. After all, your brother Jiang Yan is handsome, and I'm always the center of attention wherever I go," Jiang Yan said calmly.

Qin Wan: "..." You're really shameless.

"Aren't we standing a little too close? Jiang Yan, you are a celebrity after all. If someone takes a picture and posts it online, I'm afraid it will have a bad impact on you," Qin Wan reminded him again tactfully.

"Close? I don't think so," Jiang Yan said, moving his chair closer to Qin Wan.

Qin Wan: "..."

"Wanwan, are you shy?" Jiang Yan's beautiful fox-like eyes were full of teasing and mischievous smiles.

"Do you see me blushing?" Qin Wan asked expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan's gaze actually lingered on her cheek for a mere two seconds...

"No, there really isn't."

Jiang Yan's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 27.

Qin Wan: "???" She couldn't understand it.

"It's been years since I last saw you, Wanwan, you've grown into an even more beautiful young woman." Jiang Yan looked at Qin Wan's exquisite and beautiful features with satisfaction.

"Your looks would make you stand out even in the entertainment industry."

Hearing this, Qin Wan realized that this guy was not only narcissistic but also quite obsessed with looks.

Just staring at her for a couple of seconds is enough to increase your favorability rating; she's exceptionally good-looking.

Getting back to the point, although Jiang Yan's personality is a bit eccentric and hard to handle, it must be said that he is an extremely easy person to get along with.

The initial impression was so good that it seemed to jump up and down like it was free, making me feel very happy.

Thinking of this, Qin Wan suddenly felt that his eccentric and narcissistic personality was not so hard to accept.

"Brother Jiang Yan, you flatter me. In terms of looks, you are truly the pinnacle of the entertainment industry," Qin Wan said modestly.

Considering that Jiang Yan praised her, she should reciprocate by praising him in return.

Jiang Yan's favorability increased by 3, current favorability is 30.

Qin Wan: "..." This man is a real person.

"You little rascal, you've become more and more lovable in the years since I last saw you."

Jiang Yan had an exceptionally good experience during his brief conversation with Qin Wan.

It has to be said that time really can change and heal many things.

Back then, Qin Wan, that little girl, always looked at him with disdain and liked to say that he was narcissistic.

Now that the little girl has grown up, she has learned to be worldly-wise and hide her true thoughts and emotions.

It's only been a few years, and the young girl has already become so distant from him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan was filled with emotion and finally stopped teasing and joking with Qin Wan.

Because of their "intimate" conversation, the entire audition room had fallen into an eerie silence.

Everyone looked at each other, their gossip simmering because of Jiang Yan, but they dared not whisper about it openly.

So, these onlookers put their excellent social skills to good use, added each other on WeChat, and created a "Nine Provinces Phoenix Legend Audition Group" on the spot.

Netizen #1: "Holy crap, I saw Jiang Yingdi pinching Qin Wan's face!!"

Bystander #2: "We have eyes, we're not blind, we saw it all!"

Netizen #3: "Jiang Yingdi and Qin Wan seem very close; they must be acquaintances, right?"

Netizen #4: "Judging from their interaction, they're definitely more than just acquaintances. Didn't you see it? The doting look in Jiang Yingdi's eyes is practically overflowing. I seriously suspect they're a couple and secretly dating!"

The gossip director commented: "Although I think it's a bit difficult for someone like Jiang Yingdi to find a girlfriend, it's undeniable that Qin Wan's looks match Jiang Yingdi's aesthetic."

The assistant director, who was observing the situation, said, "I think so too. When I turned my head to look at them, I couldn't help but stare in disbelief!"

The gossip-loving screenwriter asked: "Can I ask a question, albeit tentatively? Is Qin Wan really here as a judge, or for an audition?"

The gossip-loving director: "...I don't know."

The assistant director, observing the situation, asked, "...What about Actor Jiang? Has he confirmed his participation in our drama?"

The gossip director: "...I'd like to know too."

"???"

"???"

"???"

As soon as the director finished speaking, a series of question marks appeared in the group chat.

As a director, you know absolutely nothing about this.

As a director, it's a bit much that you didn't even know or were sure about the male and female leads for this drama.

The assistant director, who was observing the situation, said: "Director Zhou, why don't you ask Actor Jiang?"

The gossip-loving director said, "Don't you know what kind of personality Jiang Yingdi has? I asked him, and he said it depends on his mood."

The assistant director, who was observing the situation, commented: "...That answer is indeed very much in the style of Jiang Yingdi (a famous Chinese actor)."

The gossip-loving screenwriter said, "Director, why don't you ask Miss Qin? I noticed that Miss Qin and Actor Jiang get along so well, and the way Actor Jiang looks at Miss Qin is quite unusual."

The gossip columnist commented, "If Miss Qin were to participate, wouldn't Actor Jiang probably consider it?"

It has to be said that screenwriters are different; they have to be quick-witted and clever.

With the screenwriter saying this, how could the director hesitate?

To express his respect and trust for the screenwriter, the director immediately granted the screenwriter's excellent request.

Director who's always watching the drama: "@Screenwriter who's always watching the drama, I also think this suggestion is great. As the one who made the suggestion, I'm sure you already have an idea in mind and have figured out how to persuade Miss Qin. So this great task is entrusted to you!"

The assistant director of the gossip column said: "@Gossip screenwriter, it's decided then! Thanks to screenwriter Xu for your hard work."

The gossip-loving screenwriter: "??? Are you guys even human?"

Screenwriter Xu stared at the endless stream of new messages popping up on his phone screen with a contorted expression. At that moment, he had only one thought...

That's regret!

I deeply regret it!!

If he had known the director and assistant director were such a jerk, he wouldn't have said a word.

Waaah, if I had known this would happen, I would never have been so envious of Qin Wan and Jiang Yan's good looks!

Although these two are truly stunningly beautiful!

“Um… Miss Qin…”

"Qin Wan??"

Just as screenwriter Xu mustered the courage to speak, he was interrupted by a sudden, sharp sound.
