Wei Luchen hung up the phone and turned to look at her helplessly.
"Sorry you saw this! I've already notified someone to handle it!"
Li Yunyan wasn't angry. If she were jealous of just anyone, she would lack any self-confidence at all!
She was just hungry!
She went outside, nestled on the sofa, and said, "I'm so hungry!"
She stretched her foot out, slipped it inside her bathrobe, and placed it on his abs. "I'm starving!"
Wei Luchen pinched the sole of her foot affectionately and said, "Wait a few more minutes, the new meal should be here soon!"
"Hmm," she replied lazily, "That person just now was the female lead in our drama!"
Wei Luchen squeezed down next to her and asked, "Should I eliminate her?"
Li Yunyan chuckled softly and reached out to tap his face. "Why are you looking more and more like a gangster?"
He grabbed her hand and said in a serious tone, "People with such poor morals will bring bad influences to society. If they lead young people astray, wouldn't that be harming the flowers of our motherland?"
“That’s true!” Li Yunyan nodded in equal seriousness. “However, I don’t want you to interfere too much in her affairs. You’re not her father, so why should you care? Let her do what she’s asked for!”
"As for today's matter," he asked for her opinion, "I've already had someone call the police, and the people who helped her at the hotel will also be identified."
"Of course!"
Li Yunyan kissed him. "You were wronged today, of course you have to vent your anger! I'm just telling you not to interfere in her other affairs, but you can handle your own affairs normally."
"Mmm." He kissed her once, then once more, his voice tender, "My Yanyan is so good!"
How is that considered well-behaved?
Li Yunyan rolled her eyes at him, then smiled and bit him.
Wei Luchen's aggressive move was interrupted by the doorbell; this time, the delivery was handled by a regular waiter.
He took the food cart, closed the door, and pushed it next to the dining table.
"Honey, dinner's ready!"
Li Yunyan immediately sat up, "Coming!"

The next day, Li Yunyan returned to the film set, rubbing her sore back, only to find that Shen Yufei was not there.
Director Ma said with a disgruntled expression, "Shen Yufei has taken leave, and all her scenes have been postponed! Honestly! It happened so suddenly, I didn't even have time to change the schedule!"
He looked at Li Yunyan and said, "Yunyan, you'll have to work hard today. I'm planning to move your scenes from the later episodes to the beginning!"
Li Yunyan memorized all the lines and readily nodded, "Director, no problem!"
Filming went very smoothly, and Li Yunyan was even given a few extra scenes due to her outstanding performance.
Three days later, Shen Yufei returned to the film crew looking dejected.
Li Yunyan learned from the system that Shen Yufei had been in jail for the past few days!
Wei Luchen kept his word and immediately called the police!
Shen Yufei had just stepped out of the hotel elevator when Uncle Hat invited her for tea!
However, her agent was very capable; she kept the news a secret and hired a very good lawyer, which is how she managed to get her released!
Shen Yufei suffered such a huge loss that her energy and spirit were reduced by half!
She frequently lost focus while filming, her lines were incoherent, and she kept making mistakes, which made her seem very unprofessional.
In addition, she had not relearned etiquette and manners before, which made her posture look worse than that of the palace maids next to her!
Director Ma is now filled with regret. If it weren't for the fact that the contract had been signed long ago, he would have loved to replace the female lead immediately!
Shen Yufei filmed for most of the day, but only a few shots were usable! Not only did she delay her own work, but she also slowed down the work progress of others!
Director Ma gave me a thorough dressing-down!
As a result, Li Yunyan's role has been significantly expanded, and she is now showing signs of becoming equal to the female lead!
Shen Yufei's gaze towards Li Yunyan became increasingly strange, sometimes seeming to mock her, and other times as if she wanted to devour her!
Li Yunyan ignored her and focused on filming her own scenes.
When all of her scenes were finished, Director Ma was still a little reluctant to let her go!
Such a talented and gifted actor is truly rare!
He immediately asked her agent, Yuan Man, for her contact information, saying that if there was a suitable role for his next project, he would definitely invite Li Yunyan to play the female lead!
Yuan Man is now able to handle things independently and with ease, increasingly showing the demeanor of a top agent!
She got along very well with all the staff on set and got their contact information! Although these people aren't famous now, you can't underestimate anyone who works hard; they might become a valuable connection in the future!

A year later, "The Palace" premiered.
Li Yunyan, as the second female lead in the drama, has a very outstanding character! In addition, she is beautiful, has good acting skills, and has a lot of screen time!
Unsurprisingly, it became an instant hit!
Her official account's number of followers increases by more than a million every day, and various fan clubs have sprung up. Zhou Jinchun even directly helps her manage the fan account!
Furthermore, Li Yunyan filmed several more movies during that year, showing great staying power!
As various awards were in full bloom at the end of the year, Li Yunyan's name appeared on the nomination list for "Best Supporting Actress".
During the review process, it is also a time for various marketing giants to engage in dirty tricks against each other.
Every name mentioned on the candidate list has been the subject of smear campaigns by marketing accounts.
Unsurprisingly, people started digging into Li Yunyan's past.
Fortunately, Wei Luchen had already cleaned up the traces on her website beforehand, and since she didn't have any scandals to begin with, apart from a few photos of her with her eyes closed that were taken by someone, the only thing that could be found was her old school and her old test papers that she hadn't done well on!
