Two years later.
The sun rises from the sea, and turtles crawl on the beach.
Five hundred meters away, there was a small house. Su Jin, wearing a flowing long dress, stood in front of the window, gazing at the pale orange sunlight on the horizon.
Soothing music was playing in the room, and she couldn't help but hum along.
My phone, which was on the wooden table by the window, vibrated.
Su Jin glanced at it casually; it was an automatically pushed news notification. — "Floating World, Gentle Breeze, Dream" has a release date.
After watching the sunrise, Su Jin checked her phone calendar. Two years had passed; she hadn't expected it to go by so quickly.
Because the show required a lot of special effects in post-production and was divided into two parts, the production cycle became longer.
Later, the subject matter became too sensitive, so it was edited and resubmitted for approval, which dragged on until now.
It's truly remarkable that a release date has been set.
As the lead actress, she should appear.
Su Jin bought a plane ticket for three days later and flew back to China.
Three days later, Su Jin appeared at City A airport with her suitcase and immediately spotted a suspicious person in the crowd.
The person was dressed in sportswear, wearing a baseball cap, and a white mask and glasses that covered about 80% of their face. With that attire, only their eyes were visible.
This must be Wang Keyi.
She had taught him how to dress like this many times, but the more he tried to cover it up, the more suspicious he became. He could have easily taken off one of the three items he was wearing.
Wang Keyi came specifically to pick her up. A year ago, Zheng Lin stopped monitoring Wang Keyi, and he would often fly to the island to visit Su Jin.
That tiny bit of resentment has long since disappeared.
Wang Keyi also saw Su Jin, waved and walked to her side, "Sister Su Jin".
Su Jin released the handle, and Wang Keyi, understanding the situation, immediately took the suitcase.
She reached out, took the hat off Wang Keyi's head, and fastened it to the handle of his suitcase. "Don't overdo it. Think about it, someone who wraps themselves up like this is either mentally unstable, a fugitive, or... a celebrity."
Without his hat, Wang Keyi's head was a mess. Su Jin stood on tiptoe and used her hands to tidy up his hair, then continued, "People like you are the easiest to be targeted by paparazzi."
Wang Keyi looked at her gentle eyes and smiled.
At the same time, Assistant Gao also received a call from Zheng Lin.
While reporting to the boss, he suddenly bumped into the boss's back.
What did the boss stop to do?
Assistant Gao looked at the same angle Zheng Lin was staring at and was completely dumbfounded.
Assistant Gao exclaimed, "Boss, the boss's wife!"
Not far ahead, the woman turned to the side, brushed the hair of the heavily armed man, and laughed, "Your hair is too stiff. Why don't you put on your hat and take off your mask? It'll be the same."
She picked up the hat, stood on tiptoe, and placed it on the man's head, pressing it down firmly. "Okay, hahaha, I'm done with you, I'm leaving."
The two walked forward together, completely unaware of the gazes behind them.
Zheng Lin's face was as cold as ice. He put his hands in his pockets and turned his face away. "She's not your boss's wife. She just looks similar from the side."
Assistant Gao: "...It seems so. Thinking about it, that woman just now didn't quite seem like her. Boss, don't be disappointed. Sooner or later, the boss's wife will come back."
For the past two years, they have been searching for the boss's wife. They have even found many women who look six or seven parts similar to her. Some people even got plastic surgery to look like the boss's wife because they wanted to marry into the Zheng family.
Having experienced too much hope and disappointment, the boss doesn't feel much of a stir when he sees similar figures on the street.
In the car, Assistant Gao noticed that Zheng Lin didn't say a word and his face was tense the whole time.
I couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking: The boss has sealed his heart and locked away his love.
"Your mother sent over some more photos of girls. Would you like to take a look?" Assistant Gao asked tentatively.
“Take a look for yourself,” Zheng Lin turned to look at him. “If you find someone you like who is suitable, go and contact them yourself. You’re not getting any younger. Get married soon.”
Assistant Gao immediately turned off the tablet and shook her head violently. "It was my fault for being nosy. These were all arranged for you by your mother. They are all daughters of noble families. I dare not look at them, nor dare I even dream of them."
"You can think about it."
......
Su Jin moved back to her villa, while her parents had moved back to the Su residence. She called the Su residence's housekeeper directly.
The housekeeper of the Su residence thought she was a friend of the lady.
As soon as Mrs. Su answered the phone and heard her daughter's voice, which she hadn't seen in a long time, she immediately covered her mouth.
Su Jin's cooking skills have improved a lot in the past two years. She lived on that small island for more than a year without spending much money, enjoying a comfortable life of resting at sunset and rising at sunrise.
Su Jin looked at the dishes she had prepared on the table, set out the bowls and chopsticks, and sat down to wait for her family to arrive.
During the phone call, Mrs. Su was told not to announce her return for the time being.
They also promised to provide a reasonable explanation for their sudden disappearance over the past two years.
At this moment, Mrs. Su stood outside her daughter's villa, hesitating to enter the password. Her husband, Mr. Su, stood beside her and, seeing that she was not entering the password, reminded her what it was.
"Could we have run into a scammer?" Mrs. Su hesitated, extending her finger only to retract it.
Seeing her hesitant look, Chairman Su decisively entered the password himself. "I'm hungry. I'll go in first. You can come in after you've thought about whether you've been scammed."
Mrs. Su: "..."
Su Jin remained seated at the table, gazing through the glass wall at the main entrance.
A man and a woman walked in, and she got up and ran out.
Su Jin took her parents' arms on either side and they slowly walked in together.
As the family ate their meal, Mrs. Su's tears never stopped. They almost thought their daughter had been murdered, and even after reporting her missing, they received no news.
After dinner, Su Jin told her parents the truth. Mrs. Su, with tears in her eyes, said, "I knew you had your reasons. Have you contacted Zheng Lin?"
"No. I hope you won't spread this news. I'll handle things between him and me myself." Su Jin squeezed her mother's hand.
Her parents are very understanding people and do not intend to interfere with her personal decisions.
......
The next day, Su Jin went to the group.
When Assistant Wang saw the chairman, who hadn't returned for two years, his eyes welled up with tears. "Chairman Su, you're really back. You have no idea how much weight Young Master Zheng has lost these past two years managing two groups at the same time. You're finally back."
"Thank you for your hard work. Don't tell Zheng Shao or anyone else that I'm back. Keep your news under wraps. Even Assistant Gao is not allowed to do that."
Su Jin just wanted to focus on her work, so she asked, "Any scripts coming up lately?"
"Yes, I'll go look for it." Assistant Wang left the chairman's office, went to the film and television department, and came back with a huge pile of scripts, which he dumped all on his desk.
Assistant Wang let out a sigh of relief, "This is a project that will be launched this year, and all the hottest topics in the market are here."
Su Jin flipped through the books above and picked one out to read carefully.
She picked up her phone and logged into the social media app she used to use; the list was filled with messages marked with red dots.
Most of the questions were about why she had disappeared and why she wasn't replying to messages.
Most of them remain from two years ago.
Only the pinned message was sent by Song Leilei today.
Song Leilei: Daily question: Are you there? I miss you so much.
Su Jin took a picture of the script cover and sent it to Song Leilei, along with the text: If your new drama hasn't been finalized yet, let's film this together.
