Ran Xueyi was silent from being speechless after hearing the words that came out of his mouth. She didn't expect that Director Daren would actually end up making guesses when they weren't aware.
But what she was even more surprised about was the fact that Daren Wang dared to use the word 'mess around' just now.
It was okay for him to say that both Ran Xueyi and Song Yu Han did not return because they fought since many celebrities who worked together to shoot a film had fought once or more. It was not openly discussed nor spread around, but this type of occurrence was not rare.
Daren Wang calling her out and guessing that what took them longer to come out to shoot their scenes was either they fought or messed around was extremely shocking.
Thus, Ran Xueyi could not help but look at the twenty-something young man.
Did he…
Ran Xueyi dared not to admit her guess.
After all, she and Song Yu Han were very careful with their actions.
But unexpectedly, Daren Wang's next words had cemented her thoughts.
Director Daren awkwardly scratched his nose and said, "Don't worry, I won't say anything to anyone if you want to hide it. Just that… if you guys want to do something, be sure to inform me ahead of time so this situation won't repeat again, okay?"
After saying this with a shy smile, Daren Want turned his back, leaving Ran Xueyi who had her mouth open from shock.
He really knows!
But how?
Ran Xueyi didn't care if someone saw them or not as she quickly followed Daren Wang and pulled him to one side where no one could hear them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe quickly asked, "You… what are you talking about?"
She didn't want to confirm her doubts but she needed to know how he found out about them.
Director Daren didn't expect that she would pull him just to interrogate him and looked at her strangely.
But under her glare and stubborn expression as if she would not let him go until she got a satisfied answer from him, Daren Wang could only surrender and speak.
"It's not that it's pretty obvious or anything. I've just been too sensitive with people's expressions and actions since I was a child so I could tell what's true or fake," Director Daren started to explain.
"When I first introduced you too together, I only guessed that you are friends with each other. Then, when I saw you in the video that was recorded at the Night Gala, I saw the intimacy between the two of you."
"Others might not be able to see it, but I felt it was too strange. But I thought it was because Chairman Song knew who your husband and friends were. But when you returned after staying in his villa and after a couple of days later, I found something strange."
Ran Xueyi listened carefully and frowned, "Strange?"
Director Daren nodded and said, "Yes. When I changed your script, the two of you didn't voice out any opposition. The strangest thing is… I never heard about your 'husband' complaining about this as if he had so much trust and faith in you. Then, I saw how Chairman Song treats you and looks at you before I linked your relationship together."
Of course, it was not only because of this.
Since he was a child, he has been discerning people's expressions and emotions. It was all thanks to his hobby of watching people and movies non-stop at the age of five.
He could tell when there's someone feeling guilty. Even if they just showed slight signs of their emotions being unstable, he could easily pick through it and see the truth.
Earlier, when he saw Song Yu Han and Ran Xueyi coming out after her manager informed him that the two would be slightly late from the scheduled time to shoot their scenes, Daren Wang didn't think too much because he already knew the secret the two of them are hiding..
However, when he saw the two's expressions after every scene, he came to a conclusion that something must have happened.
Thus, he talked to Ran Xueyi and asked her what was the problem between the two of them that their emotions were unstable.
After finding out how Daren Wang had discovered their secret, Ran Xueyi remained shocked until the end of their shooting.
It was not strange that someone had seen through their lies, but it was quite a surprise that the one who found out about it turned out to be Daren Wang out of all people.
In any case, Ran Xueyi didn't mind that he found out about her and Song Yu Han.
As for whether he would expose it or not, it was all up to him.
…
After they returned to the villa, Ran Xueyi told Song Yu Han about Daren Wang.
Song Yu Han's eyes widened and he expressed his surprise, "That's a surprise, indeed. The director has amazing talent."
Is that the only point you're focused at?
Certainly, you're not worried about our relationship being exposed?
Song Yu Han saw her pouting and chuckled slightly before rubbing her head gently: "It's not that I'm not worried. It's just that I trust the director and his morals. He may be young and somewhat reckless, but he is a person who does not care about anything else aside from directing his films. If he cared so much about our relationship, he would have stopped me from taking you to the villa today."
"That's true…" Ran Xueyi agreed.
Before they left the filming set, Daren Wang happily pushed the two of them to the car and drove them out of the filming set like a mother-in-law joyfully sending her daughter and son-in-law to their honeymoon while hoping they could create a grandchild for her to see.
The young director's impatience and delightful send-off turned her views upside down.
Were young ones nowadays so open-minded?
Or was Daren Wang too understanding and mature for his age?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"By the way, the man who attacked you earlier was already escorted by my subordinates. He won't return to An Hun for a while." Song Yu Han thought he should inform her since she was an involved individual in this case.
Ran Xueyi didn't care what happened to Xiaoshun as she asked, "Won't An Hun become suspicious? After all, one of their members whom they sent away to do a mission disappeared without a word."
Song Yu Han shook his head and pulled her into his embrace: "An Hun won't dare to suspect you or me. They will only suspect the client who paid them. Of course, they will send someone to investigate here, but it doesn't matter since there will be no trace that could trace back to us."
Ran Xueyi was once again enlightened of her husband's strength. Even though he knew that An Hun was an unshakeable organization in the Underworld, he still dared to hide and punish a member. He even shamelessly hid his tracks from them.
If it were, she might have to expend a lot of effort to keep An Hun at bay. Song Yu Han clearly didn't even sweat about offending An Hun.
As Song Yu Han expected, the following days after Xiaoshun disappeared without a trace, several new and unfamiliar crew members came to the set to look for a trace for their fellow colleague.
These people's aura was so unmistakably dangerous that even Daren Wang, who was peacefully directing their scenes, noticed them and complained to Ran Xueyi.
He didn't specifically tell her that it was because of the two of them that some strangers were coming to their set from time to time. However, he also didn't hide that he thought they were Song Yu Han's people since he is the only one capable of doing this.
Ran Xueyi didn't explain to him the details and only told him to let them be. Naturally, she denied that Song Yu Han was the one who sent them.
She can't let her husband's reputation be ruined because of them!
Daren Wang was slightly dissatisfied because of these brazen people interrupting the set, but he could not do anything about it since Song Yu Han also didn't say anything.
After a day of no result, An Hun's people returned with a sullen face and reported their findings to their seniors.
An Hun's senior member, Liao Chen, frowned upon hearing their reports and said, "Are you really sure Xiaoshun didn't go there?"
One of the people who went to the village and set nodded: "We checked every part of the village and the resort where the filming set was located. But not even Xiaoshun's hair could be found. It seems that he really didn't come here, Brother Liao."
Liao Chen didn't doubt them since the people of An Hun were even more meticulous when it came to investigating than the ordinary police officers.
But Liao Chen could not understand why Xiaoshun suddenly disappeared.
Could it have something to do with the client?
Should he approach the Cao family and ask them about Xiaoshun?
