Lu Yan was initially pleased when he guessed it was her, but now, seeing her attire, he was filled with rage.
T-shirts and hot pants couldn't hide her great figure. Although she had changed her appearance with a makeover, it couldn't extinguish his anger.
"Well, what that person said was a surprise, I just came to audition, it was just a coincidence." She subconsciously stepped back and tugged at her clothes.
That's downright cowardly.
Lu Yan looked at the little girl who was spouting lies, feeling both annoyed and amused, and finally let out a soft sigh.
"I'm not saying this place is dangerous, but if I hadn't guessed your identity, do you think you could have gotten into the room safely?" She would probably have been shot dead the moment she stepped out of the elevator.
Xia Yixin is the type who thrives on a little encouragement. Noticing that the man didn't seem so angry anymore, she boldly approached him.
"But I'm already here, what can you do to me?"
The man narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Looks like it's time to teach you a lesson."
...
The surprise his little girl brought him indirectly revealed her longing and love for him.
As for that provocative outfit, it was thrown into the trash heap, and he changed her into a normal set of clothes.
How could they possibly let others covet their things? Hmph.
The next day.
Although reluctant, her sudden visit prevented him from canceling the original meeting, and her identity made it inappropriate for him to change the time.
In the end, Xia Yixin simply used her looks to change her appearance and went with him.
While the bigwigs were discussing business, she would drink coffee outside the office and gossip with their secretaries.
So when Lu Yan came out of the conference room, Xia Yixin already knew many interesting things about those big shots, and chattered on and on about them the whole way.
"Oh right, they also asked me what kind of type you like, hehe, guess what I said?" Xia Yixin looked at the serious-looking man and deliberately stopped.
Lu Yan raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue.
Xia Yixin winked mischievously and smiled, "If the reaction is bad, I won't tell you."
Lu Yan wasn't angry. Looking at the pretty yet capable young woman in a women's suit, he took her hand and sighed, "If Madam really were my assistant, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to negotiate any contracts."
He couldn't concentrate on his work at all today, thinking about her constantly in the meeting room.
These were supposed to be sweet nothings, but the woman's thought process was rather peculiar. She slapped his hand away and said, "Looks like I'll have to spend less time with you from now on, or what if our family goes bankrupt?"
Lu Yan was so angry he laughed.
Time always flies when you're together. Because she wasn't very well-known in Country A, Lu Yan could openly hold her hand and go out to eat with her. They even went to see a movie, but unfortunately, he chose a tragic love story, and his little girl cried until her eyes were swollen.
She clung to him and refused to sleep for a long time that night. He coaxed her for a long time before she finally fell asleep. Before drifting off, she whispered "I love you" in his ear.
"I love you too." He held her in his arms as if she were his entire world.
Xia Yixin still had to take a car to M City, which was hundreds of kilometers away.
After she got into the car, Lu Yan kissed her forehead.
"I'll come see you after I've finished dealing with things here, and we'll get our marriage certificate after I return to China."
She nodded, suppressing her reluctance to part, and instructed, "Be careful too, and..."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful, and I've already used up all my stock with you." He interrupted her, looking like a scoundrel.
"Hey!" Xia Yixin pinched the arm of the frivolous man. "I'm telling you to eat properly."
She noticed he had lost weight these past few days, while she herself had gained a little weight from all the delicious food he left behind, which made her a bit discouraged. She vowed to lose weight... until the next meal.
Even if Xia Yixin gained a little weight, she would simply return to her original, healthy figure.
She opened the car window and watched his figure gradually disappear into the distance, suddenly feeling a strange unease.
It seems like something is about to change.
She shook her head, trying to shake off the strange feelings.
Lu Yan returned to the hotel, quickly finished up the last few things, and prepared to chase after Xia Yixin to M City that same day.
However, at this moment, he received a message from Shao Hai.
"Ninth Master, Su Yan has been kidnapped."
Lu Yan arranged for people to protect her as usual, but just three hours ago, Su Yan suddenly went out, got on the subway, and disappeared into the crowd. They initially thought they had simply lost her, until Yan Yiran received a distress text message from Su Yan on his phone.
His eyes darkened slightly, and Lu Yan keenly sensed an ominous premonition. He changed his travel plans and immediately returned to China.
To avoid distracting Xia Yixin, he didn't tell her about Su Yan.
I just told her I needed to go back to China for some business and to be careful.
On the other side.
City D.
Xia Yixin didn't think much of it when she received the message, but she was a little disappointed that the audition was held at a horse farm.
Because there are many scenes of horseback riding in this movie, and director Carlo didn't like his lead actors using stunt doubles.
The Chinese actresses who auditioned this time were not just Xia Yixin, but also another veteran actress with a high reputation and acting skills, Zhang Zi.
She acquired citizenship in Country A a few years ago, making her of Chinese descent. Her acting skills and horseback riding agility are both excellent. The only pity is that she is more than twice the age of Xia Yixin.
The actor playing the male supporting role, Zhen Yingxiong, also participated in the audition. He and Zhang Zi have been old friends for many years, and the two chatted as soon as they met, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
