Chapter 31 Stunning Ancient Costume Look Dad looks so handsome today, he looks like M...
Then came Fu Yanli's handsome and dignified face with its well-defined features.
Even Nono wasn't the first to appear.
Perhaps it was because his feelings for Fu Yanli were growing stronger, but Jiang Shunian was no longer as indifferent as he had been when he first saw Fu Yanli running back. He quietly and carefully took a look, and Fu Yanli was indeed somewhat attractive to him.
"Shu Nian, have you had dinner yet?" Fu Yanli placed his phone on the table stand, picked up a towel to wipe his sweat, his arm muscles were smooth, and his movements were casual and elegant.
Jiang Shunian's cheeks flushed slightly as she replied, "We've already eaten. What about you and Nuonuo?"
“We ate at the company. Nono really liked the little puddings the restaurant made. She said you also like sweets, and I'd like to bring you here to eat next time.”
"I can accept a small pudding." Since Jiang Shunian started filming, he has been eating fixed portions and hasn't had sweets for a long time.
Fu Yanli chuckled: "If you're worried about gaining weight, I can take you to the gym after you finish eating. I have a full set of gym equipment here, but the best way to exercise is swimming, which is very helpful for shaping your body."
Jiang Shunian is a lazy person. He used to run to lose weight quickly, but after losing weight, he started to relax and do nothing. In other words, he doesn't need to show his body when filming, otherwise his figure wouldn't be considered up to standard. So he was somewhat tempted by this suggestion.
After all, Fu Yanli has a really great figure; he looks slim in clothes but muscular when undressed.
"Okay, I'll definitely contact you if I need anything in the future."
Nono was not even as tall as the table. Listening to the conversation between his two fathers, he was a little confused. Wasn't his father going to video chat with him?
Have you forgotten about Nuonuo?
He jumped up and down, shouting, "Daddy, Daddy, do you miss Nuonuo? I miss Daddy so much!"
Jiang Shunian then realized that he had completely forgotten about his son and had unconsciously followed Fu Yanli's conversation.
Thinking back on it, in the previous conversations, it seemed that Fu Yanli had low emotional intelligence, but in fact, he had taken the initiative to say the information that Fu Yanli wanted to know.
This cunning man.
Jiang Shunian was a little embarrassed and annoyed, and said directly, "Give the phone to Nuonuo. Nuonuo and I have something to say to each other. You continue your exercise. We won't keep you from doing anything."
Fu Yanli sighed slightly, finally getting to talk to his wife a few more times.
He had no choice but to do as he was told, and he took the phone down and gave it to Nuonuo.
Nono obediently grabbed her phone and ran out of the gym, her chubby cheeks jiggling in the camera lens, making her so cute you wanted to take a bite.
She ran all the way to the living room before stopping, climbed onto the sofa, and started chatting with Jiang Shunian on her phone.
"Did you have fun at the company today, Nono?"
Nono nodded: "Dad, I'm so happy. The uncles and aunts all like me very much. I even got their autographs. I learned a lot today. This afternoon, my uncle also taught me about finance. He said that once I'm familiar with candlestick charts, moving averages, MACD, and RSI, he'll open an account for me and teach me how to trade."
Jiang Shunian: "..."
Is this Chinese? Why can't he understand a single word?
However, Jiang Shunian had already accepted the fact that he was the only one with the lowest IQ in the family, and with Fu Yanli taking care of him, he felt at ease. So Jiang Shunian continued to chat with his son: "Daddy has to try on makeup and take photos tomorrow. I don't know what time I'll be back. I'll have to trouble Nuonuo to continue to follow Daddy."
"It's okay, Dad, I'll be fine."
Nuonuo really missed Jiang Shunian, but he knew that other children's parents also went out to work to earn money to support their children.
So Nono continued, "Once I make money trading, Dad won't have to work so hard anymore."
Jiang Shunian felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this; his son was truly the best in the world!
"Okay, then Dad will wait for Nuonuo to earn money to support me."
The father and son chatted affectionately for a long time, but Fu Yanli felt incredibly desolate in the gym.
After finishing his workout, he quickly took a shower, changed his clothes, and went out to find his wife and children.
Nuonuo was still chatting with Jiang Shunian when she saw Fu Yanli coming over. She said, "Uncle, Dad said he doesn't know when he'll be back tomorrow. He might be very late."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yanli's heart stirred, and an idea came to him.
He sat down next to Nuonuo, picked her up and held her on his lap, and said to Jiang Shunian, "Nuonuo is very popular in the company, so you can focus on your work."
Jiang Shunian smiled and replied, "Of course I trust you." Since accepting Nuonuo as his daughter, Fu Yanli has been behaving perfectly; he is a very good father.
The young man under the lights was stunningly beautiful; his gentle smile was captivating.
Fu Yanli kept staring at Jiang Shunian with a direct and passionate gaze that was not offensive; all his deep affection was contained in his eyes.
Jiang Shunian blushed as he stared at her, too embarrassed to ask what he was looking at. She hurriedly looked away and said to Nuonuo, "Nuonuo, Daddy needs to rest now. You should go to sleep early too. Daddy will call you again tomorrow."
Nono, oblivious to the lingering glances between the adults, happily replied, "Okay, Daddy, go to sleep now. I hope you dream about me!"
"I will definitely dream about Nono."
However, Jiang Shunian dreamed of Fu Yanli that night, dreaming that Fu Yanli was staring at him with those dark golden eyes, getting closer and closer, until...
When Jiang Shunian woke up the next day, he was somewhat devastated. He felt that if things continued like this, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long before he succumbed.
When Jiang Shunian arrived at the makeup test location the next day, she discovered that there was another actress playing Su Yuqing.
The other person was young, pretty and delicate-looking, with a slender figure, dressed in luxury brand clothes, and looked at Jiang Shunian with some hostility.
Jiang Shunian didn't quite understand what this meant. Zhao Yuanzhou went to communicate with the executive producer and found out that this person had a powerful backer and had also taken a liking to the role of Su Yuqing, and wanted to bring his own investment to the production.
Zhao Yuanzhou was not intimidated by the other party. Putting aside the fact that Jiang Shunian had Fu Yanli behind him, Hua Zhen alone was managed by Pei Qingyi, so they did not need to back down.
Therefore, Zhao Yuanzhou decided to talk to the other party first, and if that failed, he would contact Pei Qingyi.
Lin Yusong, a well-known director, seems to have a glamorous life, but in reality, he is still constrained by capital.
He actually disliked actors who brought their own funding to the production, since these actors generally lacked acting skills and were unruly, easily becoming a flaw in a drama.
However, the sugar daddy behind this child actor is no ordinary person; he is said to be Qin Guanyue's new favorite, and the Qin family is someone he absolutely cannot afford to offend.
So he didn't say anything and left it to the executive producer to handle.
Before Zhao Yuanzhou could reach a decision, the young actor walked over, chin slightly raised, looking very arrogant: "I've got my eye on this role. Give it to me, and name your price."
Jiang Shunian found it amusing: "Little brother, do you think I'm short of money?"
The outfit he's wearing today was chosen for him by Fu Yanli. Fu Yanli was worried that Jiang Shunian would be looked down upon by others, so he selected a piece from the final runway show of this year's Fashion Week. It looks elegant and fashionable and suits Jiang Shunian very well.
The young actor looked Jiang Shunian up and down and realized that he couldn't afford the clothes Jiang Shunian was wearing. He felt even more envious. He had worked so hard to please the sugar daddy, so what did Jiang Shunian have that made him so special?
She snorted and said, "How old are you? You've had a child, and you still want to play Su Yuqing? You're too shameless. You should play roles appropriate for your age."
“But I can guarantee I won’t act out the role.” Jiang Shunian didn’t back down. Fu Yanli and President Pei gave him enough confidence to stand up for himself. “Besides, aren’t you afraid of offending people by saying this? How many people in this industry act like this?”
"You!" The young actor was speechless after Jiang Shunian's words. He turned around and left in anger, then called Qin Guanyue to tell him that a guy named Jiang Shunian had stolen his scenes.
Qin Guanyue was also taken aback. Who? Jiang Shunian?
What a coincidence! He hadn't seen Jiang Shunian since the night of the banquet, but his younger brother Qin Guanting had promised to set a trap for Fu Yanli, so he waited patiently.
Four years have passed, so what's another year or two?
When he saw a young and pretty actress who took the initiative to approach him, he readily accepted her advances.
He has always been quite generous to his lovers, providing them with most of his resources as long as it's not too excessive.
When his mistress wanted a supporting role, Qin Guanyue simply had someone contact the production team and get it to him.
Even though the other party said they had already decided on the actors for the collaboration, Qin Guanyue didn't see it as a problem at all.
Qin Guanyue never expected that he would snatch the role from Jiang Shunian.
Qin Guanyue knew that Jiang Shunian had Fu Yanli backing him up, so he thought for a moment and said, "Honey, let's not compete for this role. Jiang Shunian also has someone behind him. How about this, see if there are any other roles you like."
The young actor had initially tried to charm his way into getting the role, but when Qin Guanyue lowered his voice, he chickened out. Knowing Qin Guanyue's abilities and reputation for promiscuity, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous for fear of being dumped, so he had no choice but to agree.
"Sweetie, there's one more thing you need to do for me." Qin Guanyue assigned the young actor another task.
The young actor was somewhat surprised, glanced at Jiang Shunian, and then nodded: "Don't worry, I'll find an opportunity."
Qin Guanyue then smiled with satisfaction.
Subsequently, the executive producer received news that the young actress was no longer vying for the role of Su Yuqing and had opted for a villainous role instead.
The actor who was originally playing the villain turned pale. He had no background and could not fight against capital, so he could only be persuaded by the executive producer to leave first.
Jiang Shunian frowned slightly, disliking this behavior very much. Sadly, such things were commonplace in the entertainment industry.
Although this incident wasn't caused by him, it was pitiful that the other person's role was snatched away, so Jiang Shunian asked his assistant Li Hehe to find out who the other person was, what their acting skills and character were like, and that he would help promote them if they had a suitable role in the future.
After the commotion subsided, it was already quite late.
Both the male and female leads have their own dressing rooms, and no one was allowed to come out to see the recent controversy over who got the role. Perhaps they're used to it.
Jiang Shunian is the third male lead, not a big star, and doesn't have a dedicated makeup artist, so he has to wait in line for a makeup trial.
Today's focus is on the makeup test and costume photos of the male and female leads. They don't have many clothes in the drama, with only one female costume being a highlight, so it's not complicated.
By the time it was his turn, it was already afternoon. Jiang Shunian ate the boxed lunch provided by the crew before starting his makeup.
Jiang Shunian estimated that he would not be able to finish until evening, so he asked his assistant to check the flight tickets for after 9 pm tonight.
He texted Nuonuo, telling her he would probably be back in the evening.
Nono quickly replied, "Okay."
What he didn't know was that Fu Yanli had finished all his business quickly during the day and had his assistant book two tickets to fly to City B at 3 p.m.
"Nono, come on, let's go pick up your dad and take him home." Fu Yanli changed into casual clothes, tucked the child into his arms, and strode out.
Nono was very excited, her eyes sparkling: "Great! I can see Daddy soon! Daddy, you're so amazing!"
She even excitedly gave Fu Yanli a kiss on the cheek.
Fu Yanli kissed his forehead back, thinking to himself, "He just wants to see Jiang Shunian sooner, so he'll use 'Nono misses you very much' as an excuse."
Children can sometimes really be a bond.
Nuonuo, completely unaware that he had been used, was still excited on the plane. However, he was very polite and did not make a lot of noise. Instead, he whispered to Fu Yanli.
Uncle said their itinerary was a secret, and they wanted to give Dad a surprise!
The plane flew smoothly to City B. Fu Yanli contacted Li Hehe and learned that Jiang Shunian had not finished his work yet, so he asked for the address.
The head of the B City branch arranged for a driver and vehicle to take Fu Yanli and Nuonuo to Jiang Shunian's place.
After Jiang Shunian finished her makeup, she once again amazed everyone present.
Even the actress who plays the female lead joked with a smile, "I think you could play the female lead."
It is said that top beauties possess both masculine and feminine features, and Jiang Shunian is such a person.
His face was already delicate and androgynous with soft features, and with the makeup artist's god-like makeup skills, the result was a stunningly beautiful woman who was neither male nor female.
When the male protagonist, Mo Zhen, saw Jiang Shunian, his eyes were somewhat dazed.
He had seen many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, but it was rare to see someone as strikingly beautiful as Jiang Shunian.
If the opportunity arises, perhaps I could pursue it.
Jiang Shunian looked at himself in the mirror and was surprised and somewhat curious. It seemed that he didn't look out of place dressed as a woman.
Unbeknownst to him, someone was secretly taking many photos of Jiang Shunian with their phone, but unfortunately, their position wasn't ideal, and most of the photos only showed his profile.
The process of shooting the costume photos went very smoothly. Jiang Shunian is a professionally trained actor with solid acting skills and expressive eyes. The photos didn't even need much retouching.
After it was all over, Li Hehe suddenly told him that Nuonuo was coming to pick him up in the lounge on the same floor.
Jiang Shunian was overjoyed and, without even changing his clothes, ran out to find Nuonuo.
He knocked on the door, and a hand reached out from inside, quickly pulling Jiang Shunian inside.
"Nono!" Jiang Shunian saw his son and wanted to go over and hug him, but Nono didn't reach out. Instead, he looked up and looked at Jiang Shunian's appearance carefully, and then said, "Daddy looks so handsome today, just like Mommy."
Jiang Shunian was stunned, only then realizing that she was still wearing women's clothing.
The rosy pink color made him look radiant and beautiful, and his long hair and exquisite makeup could easily lead children to misunderstand his gender.
Fu Yanli, standing behind them, also spoke up: "It is indeed very beautiful."
His voice was low and deep, as if he was suppressing something.
Jiang Shunian turned around and met Fu Yanli's burning gaze.
