Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife



"I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to make fun of you, but I saw you being in a daze and it's been a stressful day for me. I have a disease where I should make fun of someone when it's too stressful for me so I can feel like myself again," Adelle finally stopped laughing and apologized to him. 

Earlier at the office, she was stressed by the incoming calls from brands that Ran Xueyi had endorsed in the past and still had contracts with. The directors whom the film was still not released also asked her what they should do after the scandalous rumor of Ran Xueyi being kept by a parvenu had taken the top spots of trend searches on Weibo. 

The official page of their company received thousands of emails, asking how they will respond to the rumors. Every staff member in Ran Xueyi's team was on their phone. And at the end of the day, Adelle only got to resolve the problems that needed immediate response. As for the post owner, she was not able to reach out to them because they suddenly deleted their accounts. 

This made her job a little troublesome. Now that the post and the post owner disappeared, it will only make people speculate for worse. 

Eventually, there will be people who thinks that Ran Xueyi's parvenu keeper targeted the post owner, threatening them until they deleted their post. 

There were about ten to fifteen people in Ran Xueyi's team. All of them were already busy with the upcoming release of her films and the reviews of the oncoming scripts. Now that there were thousands of people who are asking them to deny the rumors, there was no time for them to even go to breakroom to drink a cup of coffee. 

Guo Yun's timely appearance was like a beam of light in the darkness. Adelle just needed to harass someone to make her feel a little bit better. Guo Yun became her victim in a long time. 

Guo Yun had never expected her to tease him like this. He was slightly annoyed and extremely embarrassed because he was made to believe that he had reacted and she noticed it, but his emotion was soon replaced by awe and satisfaction upon the sight of her undisguised and genuine laugh. 

He had made her smile. 

He was the reason her lips were stretched to a wide grin. 

Somehow, he felt like he had accomplished something worthwhile. 

…

Social media was always a pandemonium, but this strange wave was rare. Major marketing accounts, who used to be the first to share and post their opinion about some topics and celebrity scandals, seemed to be blind and didn't express their opinion on Ran Xueyi's matter. 

Initially, a lot of agencies who didn't want Ran Xueyi to further succeed in her career and push their young and fresh artists forward to boost their images wanted to take advantage of this event to steal the scripts and directors that considered Ran Xueyi as their first muse in their films. 

But they couldn't help but hesitate as Chestnut Entertainment didn't do anything at all. No response, no statement, or announcement. Nothing was posted both in their official page and site. 

It was as if they were completely unrelated from everything that was happening to the world. 

With them staying silent, many agencies and studios who wanted to strike while the iron is hot, stood on the tips of their toes. They all wished Ran Xueyi would say something then, they could take their first steps to chew down the benefits that followed. 

Until the still water was stirred and shook out of proportion. 

Yang Baihua, who had been waiting on the side, couldn't wait any longer. 

He pressed his fingers on the keyboard several times, forming words to sentences. Eventually, he had a mysterious statement on his Weibo account.

[YangBaihua: Why can't people mind their own business? It's just taking a walk with your beloved and shopping at the mall.]

Once this was posted, not many people viewed it. No one even commented on it. However, it seemed to be hinting at something. 

After he had his engagement with Ran Xueyi annulled, he finally got what he wanted and got together with his pregnant white moonlight, Song Qian. However, after tasting the forbidden bliss, the excitement he felt while being together with her didn't last. Previously, he thought he would marry Song Qian, but he was tempted by Ran Yue, who then later became his wife after his affair with her was exposed. The Ran family and the Yang family didn't have much to say in their matters. They only cared about the advantages they could take from each other. 

At first, Yang Baihua was happy to have two women in his life. However, that changed when he saw Ran Xueyi on the TV screen. 

The woman he had toyed with and manipulated in the past now became a beautiful flower that no one could tear their eyes off. Though he was mesmerized by her, Yang Baihua was now married and a father. He couldn't continue holding the past within his hands.

But then, just when he was going to let go of the past, he heard the rumor that Ran Xueyi was being kept by someone. Actually, he also heard that she had married a mysterious man, but no physical evidence came out. Hence, this was quickly crossed out. And many believed that Ran Xueyi was not married, including Yang Baihua.

Now, Yang Baihua regretted that he didn't get to taste her in the past. If he had manipulated her when she was still naïve and desperate for love, he might have been her first. 

What annoyed him even more was that she settled for a 'parvenu'. This was setting her standards too low. If Ran Xueyi had only stayed by his side despite his affairs, he would have pampered her granted that she would put the Ran family within his hands.
