CHAPTER 907: CHAPTER 59: GIVING HER ENOUGH FACE

Chapter 59

"Yan Yuan, why did you come so early? I was going to ask you to go together. When I knocked, the housekeeper said you already left." Chu Chen’s voice was as gentle as spring water, pleasing to the ear.

Xiao Jiemei felt astonished and delighted, she stared at Yan Yuan and whispered in surprise: "Yan Yuan, do you know Chu Chen?"

Yan Yuan nodded, telling her not to make a fuss.

"I left early, and you didn’t say I should wait for you." Yan Yuan chuckled. Just kidding, she didn’t come with Bai Chenxi, then came with him.

If Bai Chenxi didn’t kill her for betraying him, it would be odd.

So when she left, she didn’t even consider waiting for Chu Chen.

Chu Chen was about to say something, but Yan Yuan quickly pretended to toast, clinking glasses with him.

Chu Chen was a smart person, it was clear that he didn’t want others to know about her relationship with Bai Chenxi.

"Let’s all have a toast to wish our big show to skyrocket next year." Yan Yuan smiled cheerfully, holding up her wine glass, and then everyone began to drink.

At first, Mu Chiheng and Xiao Jiemei wanted to ask Yan Yuan how she knew Chu Chen.

But after a toast, everyone forgot about it.

Yan Yuan casually glanced around the hall, not far away, Bai Chenxi and Su Meili were chatting.

Every now and then, Su Meili showed a shy expression and stole glances at Bai Chenxi, even leaning closer to him.

Yan Yuan pouted, malicious Su Meili, in her opinion, not attractive at all.

However, speaking of it, Bai Chenxi and Su Meili had known each other for a long time, they were said to be childhood sweethearts.

Bai Chenxi’s mother quite liked Su Meili.

"Yan Yuan, if you want to go and greet President Bai, you better hurry. I heard he’s leaving soon." Xiao Jiemei saw Yan Yuan staring at Bai Chenxi and hurriedly pushed her quietly.

Yan Yuan glared back at her, "I wasn’t going to say hello to him. I’m just annoyed looking at Su Meili!"

Chu Chen clearly sensed Yan Yuan’s bad mood, especially the unfriendly look towards Su Meili.

"Yueyue, do you know who your agent is?" Chu Chen asked.

"What?" Yan Yuan turned around, no longer looking at Bai Chenxi and Su Meili. She felt these two together were an eyesore.

"You’ll be part of Fengying, naturally needing an agent. If you haven’t decided yet, why not come to us. Zheng Zong is very good!" Chu Chen said.

"That’s up to the company to decide, right? Can I choose?" Yan Yuan thought that it didn’t matter who the agent was, as long as it wasn’t Su Meili’s lackey, she wasn’t afraid of anyone.

"Sure, you can talk to President Bai. He would certainly agree, with me around, I can also take care of you. This time’s shooting will be in Jiangcheng, it’s far and the conditions are tough. Then I’ll have an assistant to help you." Chu Chen said.

After all, Yan Yuan is still a newcomer, her team isn’t perfect, she needs his care.

Yan Yuan thought for a while, if she did this, she’d definitely need to ask Bai Chenxi.

She pouted her lips, seeing Bai Chenxi and Su Meili chatting happily.

She felt that she should think this over.

"Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Let’s go greet the director together." Yan Yuan originally planned to go alone, but now that Chu Chen was here, she would surely drag him along.

Compared to Chu Chen, she thought introducing her to the director would certainly leave a deep impression.

Chu Chen guessed her intentions and said no more, standing up to go to the director with Yan Yuan.

"Director Qiao, wishing a smooth start to shooting." Chu Chen walked over with a smile, warmly clinking glasses with the director.

Qiao Si nodded with a smile, holding up his glass and was very polite to Chu Chen, "Looking forward to working together happily this time."

Yan Yuan could tell that Director Qiao was someone who was easy to get along with.

Only then did Chu Chen pull Yan Yuan to the director and smile as he introduced her: "Director, you should remember her, right? She’s always wanted to come over and greet you, but was afraid of being presumptuous."

"Yan Yuan, right! I remember that scene, made quite an impression. A good little girl, the future holds great potential, I have high hopes for you!" Director Qiao said with a straightforward look, indicating he remembered her.

Yan Yuan confidently raised her glass, smiling gently, without showing stage fright, instead appearing graceful, humble and courteous, "Thank you for the guidance, Director, I will definitely work hard and not disappoint everyone."

"Hahaha! What a well-spoken little girl." Director Qiao chuckled, clinking glasses with Yan Yuan, and the three drank together.

Yan Yuan, Qiao Si, and Chu Chen started chatting.

Qiao Si’s personality was straightforward and generous, Yan Yuan thought he was a good elder.

And Yan Yuan’s obedience and sensibility, keen eye, knowing how to speak appropriately, made Qiao Si look at her differently.

The banquet proceeded in an orderly fashion.

Everyone exchanged toasts, and the atmosphere was lively and joyful.

Bai Chenxi’s sidelong glance could inadvertently catch sight of Yan Yuan and Chu Chen together, the two of them not only talking happily but also seeming quite intimate.

Chu Chen took care of Yan Yuan in every possible way, and Yan Yuan was very dependent on Chu Chen, even not shying away from greeting the director when they were together.

Not only did Bai Chenxi furrow his brow at the sight, but Song Yuwan, standing nearby, also tightened her grip on her cup, her face showing anger.

This Yan Yuan, just a newcomer, how did she manage to cling to Chu Chen?

This girl, despite her young age, has a deep scheming mind.

Chu Chen is not just someone with an abstinent air; he himself is very self-disciplined and never gets close to any female star.

He is always polite to everyone, neither close nor avoidant.

Sometimes, Chu Chen gave her the feeling of being like a wooden statue.

Only when acting did he seem to possess a soul.

And at this moment, Chu Chen seemed to look elegantly at Yan Yuan, standing by her side and carefully guarding her.

To put it bluntly, in Song Yuwan’s heart.

She was supposed to be the leading actress, the star.

Someone like Chu Chen should be surrounding her, taking care of her.

But in fact, Chu Chen ignored her and treated Yan Yuan so well that it made people jealous.

Su Meili was constantly by Bai Chenxi’s side, believing he returned to encourage her.

Su Meili brought a wine glass to Bai Chenxi, "Brother Chenxi, this fruit wine is very famous. Try it, my mom said she’s cooking something delicious tonight and invited you over for dinner."

Su Meili held the wine glass, looking at Bai Chenxi’s handsome profile, her heart filled with happiness.

Because today, Bai Chenxi stayed with her all along, giving her plenty of face.

As she finished speaking, she awaited Bai Chenxi to take the glass from her hand.

But after waiting a long time, she received no response from Bai Chenxi.

Instead, she noticed his gaze was deeply focused on Yan Yuan in the distance, his expression heavy.

"Brother Chenxi?" Su Meili called again, with her big beautiful eyes wide open.

Still, no one answered her, so she followed Bai Chenxi’s gaze.

At that moment, Yan Yuan was chatting with Chu Chen, apparently sharing a private joke, as they shot each other a knowing smile.

Chu Chen was already handsome, with a noble and cold demeanor, universally recognized as the nation’s ideal husband.

And although Yan Yuan was a newcomer, she had to admit that Yan Yuan’s appearance and aura were quite extraordinary.

Especially in the gown she wore today, highlighting her noble and unworldly charm, which made all the gentlemen present glance repeatedly.

During the moment when Su Meili and Bai Chenxi were silent, another man approached Yan Yuan, and the three began chatting.

Bai Chenxi stood motionless, his gaze fixed on Yan Yuan, while Su Meili glanced between him and Yan Yuan several times.

In her memory, Bai Chenxi didn’t seem to know Yan Yuan.

Isn’t staring at her like this inappropriate?

"Brother Chenxi!" Su Meili said defiantly, pulling at Bai Chenxi’s arm and dragging him back from his stupor.

Bai Chenxi pinched the bridge of his nose.

He had just lost focus—what was he even thinking?

Yan Yuan made it very clear.

She doesn’t belong to this world; one day, she will eventually leave.

And he is just an ordinary man, not worthy of her at all.

Bai Chenxi turned away without looking at Su Meili and strode outside.

Su Meili put down the wine glass, stomped her foot angrily, glared venomously at Yan Yuan, and then hurriedly chased after him.

"Brother Chenxi, where are you going? The party has just started, and you haven’t spoken yet!" Su Meili called as she reached the doorway.

Bai Chenxi stopped, turned back with icy eyes on her, "Don’t follow me!"

Su Meili, frightened by his intense expression, stood there dumbfounded, "Then where are you going?"

"The bathroom!" Bai Chenxi walked away without looking back.

Su Meili stood in place, clutching her dress, her fingers tensing with veins.

This Yan Yuan is a disaster.

Even without interacting with Bai Chenxi, she could capture his attention, and she could even perceive the strange light in Bai Chenxi’s gaze.
