Ran Xueyi's return to Hua Country was not a secret. Several media and journalists have already gotten wind of it and her fans were also watching every update they could get from Ren country.

"It's already ten, where is she?" A reporter who came to get a headliner from the international star Ran Xueyi swiped the sweat away from his brow.

Another reporter shrugged and said, "Who knows? Maybe she used the VIP exit terminal? With everyone here and waiting for her, it wouldn't be so shocking if she actually used it to avoid a stampede."

"Hey, don't jinx it. Are you even here to get a headliner?"

"Cough! Of course, I am!"

Each and everyone of these journalists and reporters have their own agendas and interests. They could be stalking an artist, idol, and celebrity everywhere they went just to get a hot scoop. But nobody could really blame them since this was what they had to do to earn money and put food in their stomachs.

The reporters had all their assistants ready with their cameras pointed at the departure area where the other airplane passengers were constantly pouring out. On their side were countless fans with their paperboards, magazines, notebooks, and posters in their hands, waiting to get an opportunity to get a signed autograph from the artist Estelle, who was also a local veteran actress named Ran Xueyi!

"What's going on outside? Why are there so many people there?" A beautiful tall woman stepped on the long corridor together with her manager.

The manager looked ahead and also saw that many reporters were also stationed outside. He pondered for a bit and muttered in a low voice, "Could it be that your schedule was leaked to your fans?"

Jewel Jiang raised her brows in surprise and her mouth slowly raised up. "Is it? Then, are all these people waiting for me outside to come? What should I do? Shouldn't you have been notified by this before we left? Now, they will see me wearing something tactless like this!"

Her manager, Kang Minho, was slightly embarrassed by her words but slowly replied, "I'll call the company and ask them right now!"

Jewel Jiang waved her hand to stop him. "No, don't go. We're almost at the exit anyway. I might as well wave at my fans!"

Jewel Jiang was elated at the scene in front of her. There were so many people in front of her that it actually looked like a concert was being held in the airport. All the media journalists and reporters actually came here to see her because of her success abroad!

Well, it was to be expected since she ended up getting nominated as a Top Artist in Billboard Music Awards.

Sadly, she didn't get the award in the end, but being nominated was still much better than just being awarded domestically!

Raising her chin high up, Jewel Jiang was almost about to step out of the departure terminal area when she heard a hustle bustle from behind her.

'Tic, Toc'

'Tic. Toc'

The resounding, crisp sound of heels hitting the tiled floor sounded from behind her accompanied by the eerie silence that seemed to break through space and time. The whole world seemed to be in slow motion as three figures walked in a straight line.

Kang Minho felt the air and entire airport seemed to have changed as soon as these people from behind them started to show up.

The tacit silence was too overwhelming. But not as powerful as the appearance of the woman walking in the middle of the two people beside her, around them were several bodyguards in black suits.

With dark tinted sunglasses hanging on the bridge of her tall nose, the woman walked confidently with the air of languidness. From a glance, you would mistake a princess walking down to her own living room when looking at the woman.

But who could she be?

Kang Minho and Jewel Jiang had been staying abroad for the award ceremony in Las Vegas. Besides that, they weren't really up to date to the news of any other celebrities, only worrying and caring about themselves.

Hence, they really had no idea who this woman was who was being guarded by bodyguards.

"She's here! She's here!"

"OH MY GOD! She's really back!"

"Ran Xueyi!!!"

"Estelle!"

"I love you! Please marry me!"

Ran Xueyi heard the raucous voices of her fans and reporters panicking in front of the barricade. She lifted her gaze and smiled as soon as she stepped out of the automatic door.

Silver and white flashes light up without a stop. Now, the whole area behind the barricade looked like a big spotlight shining on, shining Ran Xueyi with its warm welcome.

3 years had passed since Ran Xueyi stepped onto her motherland - she had almost forgotten what it felt to be welcome like this.

3 years ago, she secretly left the country and only let people know that she entered the international scene after she gave birth. Many people called her out for it, cursed at her, some even wanted to boycott her only because she left Hua Country for bigger and world success.

But all traces of negativity were wiped out as soon as her first international movie was released and was received very well by everyone in the world. In the end, Ran Xueyi still got the last laugh when some people thought she would flop and not get any success in the world entertainment industry.

Ran Xueyi stepped forward and said to the crowd: "Hello, everyone. I am Ran Xueyi, also known as Estelle. I have returned to bring glory and honor to the country."

Such a simple and brave comment, but nobody tried to think that she was being too overconfident.

Rather than being a braggart, Ran Xueyi's words instilled some sort of hope and faith in everyone's heart.

"Ran Xueyi, after your return, are you planning to stay here for a while or you're just here to shoot a film before going back to Ren Country?"

"There were some photos of you and William together at a party. Are you two dating?"

"Your sister Ran Yue is now one of the rising stars in the country. Did you come back to the country to sabotage her acting career?"

Ran Xueyi smiled throughout the questions being thrown at her. She never gave them a response. However, it didn't mean that these questions didn't annoy anybody.

As soon as they reached the hotel, Adelle paced around the room angrily.

"What's wrong with these people? Are they welcoming a best actress or a scandalous criminal?" Adelle could understand and speak their language fluently so she could tell that most of those who came to welcome her were there to cause trouble.

It was so hateful when she listened to them asking these tasteless questions!

"Hmph! Is this how they also treated you in the past? No wonder you had to go to Ren Country! If I was also an actress here, I would have been so depressed that I don't even dare to come out of my house after being chased like this!"

Ran Xueyi quietly listened to her rambling while she sat with a glass of red wine in her hand.

Seeing her like this, Adelle was even more irritated and told her, "Are you really not affected by this? Just tell me and I will ask someone to fire them all!"

Ran Xueyi finally laughed at her words and replied, "And who are you going to ask?"

Adelle shut up at her question.

,m She scratched her nose and meekly answered, "Uh… Your husband?"

Because Adelle decided to join Ran Xueyi and became her sidekick, Ran Xueyi did not hide Song Yu Han's identity to her. It wasn't because she thought Adelle had to know, it was because Adelle needed to know about it if a situation unforeseeable happened then she would know what to do about it.

Ran Xueyi shook her head and said, "No. He and I already got into an agreement not to get in each other's business."

Though she said this, Song Yu Han will surely protect her in some other ways.

"I am also not affected by their words. I'm already immune to them." Ran Xueyi smiled and twirled the wine in her glass as she continued, "Besides, I think the most effective way to shut them up is to show them what I can do."

Adelle cheekily smiled at her and agreed. "That's right! You're no longer the same woman as you were in the past, you're now a two-time Best Actress!"

"Ah, that's right. Speaking of showing them what you can do, I've received several film  and TV drama offers." Adelle opened her briefcase and handed the scripts to her. "The scripts are great, decide which one you'll want to accept. My personal opinion is for you to accept the TV drama."

After saying this, Adelle bid her farewell and went to her own hotel room.

Ran Xueyi's gaze fell to the scripts before she reached out to take one of them.

The script showcased the title <<The Untamed>> on the front page.

Ran Xueyi liked the plot of the TV drama because it did not only show the power struggles in the imperial court but also the true familial love and friendship that many sought after.

But it wasn't the reason why she picked this script.

A sinister glint flashed in Ran Xueyi's eyes. Ran Yue was picked as the second female lead in this film. Ran Xueyi just wanted to see how her little sister was faring.
