After being reborn as a rich and beautiful woman, she let herself go.

Chapter 44 Late Night Visit

While Luo Jiuyu was drinking at Lanyang Club, Mu Siran was filming a night scene.

Her acting is good; she can get a scene right after two or three takes.

Since joining the crew, filming has been so intense every day that I haven't had much time to sleep.

During her occasional breaks, she would pick up her phone to call Luo Jiuyu, but each time she dialed the first few digits, she would stop dialing the rest.

Filming went on until midnight that night. During a break, she picked up her phone again and stared blankly at Luo Jiuyu's WeChat chat window.

Her assistant, Nono, couldn't help but ask her, "Sis, why are you holding back if you want to contact him?"

The assistant knew that Luo Jiuyu was a married man and assumed that Mu Siran was concerned about that.

It's true that a top female celebrity's entanglement with a married man damages her reputation. But this kind of thing is commonplace in the industry; as long as you're willing to spend money to remove trending topics and hire online trolls to whitewash her image, black can be turned into white if done properly.

The risks are quite high, but some people in the industry can withstand them and are willing to risk everything for love.

Mu Siran put her phone away in her down jacket pocket. She asked, "Do you know who he is?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen him in any reports." Nono shook her head.

On the night it snowed, Nuonuo sat in the car waiting for Mu Siran and saw Luo Jiuyu once.

It was a fleeting glimpse that truly captivated the eye.

Luo Jiuyu is as graceful and elegant as an orchid, possessing a noble and outstanding temperament, making him even more attractive than the top male celebrities in the industry.

Nono thought it was no wonder that Mu Siran couldn't forget him.

"He is the youngest grandchild of the Luo family, Luo Jiuyu. He is the least favored in the Luo family, and his father will not even give him a small position in the company. From childhood to adulthood, it seems that Uncle Luo has never cared about him."

"Huh?" Nono was taken aback.

In the past two days, Lorne has been promoted to president of the Lorne family's Xinghai Group. Interviews with Lorne are everywhere in the news.

This illustrates the extent to which Luo Jiuyu was neglected by her family.

"Sister, President Luo has a special affection for you. He's been so good to you all these years. Do you like President Luo more or Luo Jiuyu more?"

Nono felt that although Luo Jiuyu was better looking than her brother, he wasn't as rich or powerful.

Lorne is handsome enough, and with his status as the president of Xinghai Group, he is gentle and considerate to Mu Siran, always fulfilling her requests. All things considered, he is a perfect choice.

If Nono were to choose for Mu Siran, the big star should choose Lorne, as they are a good match in terms of status.

From Nono's perspective, Mu Siran didn't completely reject Lorne's advances, but she also wouldn't respond positively.

She kept him hanging on, neither close nor distant, for many years.

They've practically turned Lorne into an old bachelor.

Mu Siran leaned back in her chair, slowly sipping the goji berry and astragalus water from her thermos, lost in thought.

Nono squatted down and covered her knees with a blanket; it was late at night and really cold.

Outside the cordon set up by the film crew, some fans who were reluctant to go home were still taking pictures of her with their phones.

We've asked them to come home several times already, but they just won't leave.

In this cold weather, what can you see by standing there?

Nuonuo sat down on the stool next to her and suddenly heard Mu Siran's clear and cold voice.

“No matter how much I like someone, if they don’t meet my requirements, I have to give them up. Who told me I am Mu Siran? I’m already at the top of the industry, and I won’t allow myself to fall from the peak and become a laughing stock for other actresses. With Luo En pursuing me, my Mu family will not allow me to give myself to Luo Jiuyu.”

After hearing Mu Siran's words, Nuonuo felt a ripple in her heart. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she swallowed her words back.

She wanted to say, if that's the case, why not accept Lorne sooner? Why keep him hanging on? But saying that would offend someone, Nono could only remain silent. She was just a junior assistant.

As the night deepened and the chill intensified, the crew's work did not stop despite the cold.

After a short rest, Mu Siran mustered her energy and threw herself back into the intense filming.

During her performance, her eyes were focused and determined, as if the inner struggle she had just experienced had never happened.

In front of the camera, she remains the same radiant and superb actress.

Nono stood lazily outside the crowd, sighing, "I'm so sleepy and cold." She was a little hungry, so she ate a piece of cake to tide her over.

Suddenly, a commotion arose among the nearby crowd. Nono turned to see what was happening.

It turned out to be Lorne.

He often visited Mu Siran on set. This was the first time he had come since she joined the crew, and it happened to be late at night.

They ordered late-night snacks and drinks for the entire crew and sent someone to bring a whole truckload over.

The assistant director stood by him, bowing and scraping, and busily sent people to unload the things from the car, preparing to distribute them to the crew.

He is one of the investors in this film.

After filming her last scene, Mu Siran could finally rest.

She stepped out of the crowd and was taken aback when she saw Lorne and Nono waiting for her outside.

Then she walked towards Lorne. It was always the same; he would take the initiative to find her.

No matter how far she goes, he will always come.

Over the years, she's gotten used to it. She's even become a little tired of dealing with it.

Lorne went over and draped a large wool coat over her shoulders; it was one of his own clothes that he had brought specially, afraid that she would get cold.

"You must be exhausted?" he said softly with a smile, taking her hand and warming it in his own.

"Why are you here? Aren't you busy tomorrow?" She pulled her hand away from his. "There are a lot of people here, and fans too. Be careful not to get photographed."

He was so overcome with emotion that he forgot all his concerns.

"I'll take you back to your hotel." He smiled as he looked into her lowered, beautiful eyes.

She nodded, then looked up and smiled at him.

"Are you hungry? I bought some late-night snacks." He remembered the late-night snacks he had ordered and saved several items for her.

She has stricter requirements for her figure when filming period dramas; if she gains even a pound or two, she won't look ethereal in period costumes.

"I'm a little hungry, I'll just get some water when I get back." She gave him a wistful look. Just like Luo Jiuyu said, life would be much less fun if you couldn't even eat whatever you wanted.

They walked together toward the parking lot. Nono followed behind, cautiously looking around to see if anyone was following them.

Fortunately, many fans had left, and there was almost no one on the road.

They got into Lorne's car and drove back to the hotel where the film crew was staying.

On the bus, Mu Siran was so sleepy that she dozed off against the back of her seat.

Lorne felt sorry for her working day and night and once asked her to retire from the entertainment industry so that he could support her, but she firmly refused.

I still remember what she said: I will not be a canary in a cage.

Lorne raised an arm to encircle her shoulder, gently cradling her head against his shoulder, trying to make her as comfortable as possible.

"Ranran, you're working so hard. It breaks my heart to see you pushing yourself like this."

"Hmm..." Mu Siran murmured softly, her mind still hazy.

"When will you marry me..." Lorne gently kissed her forehead, his eyes filled with bitterness and helplessness.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Nuonuo stared at the rearview mirror, watching the two people in the back seat, and felt a pang of sadness.

If the two of them were together, it would actually be quite good. But Mu Siran's thoughts were too complicated; she was too proud, and perhaps too greedy.

I want both love and bread.

An ordinary person's bread can't compare to a female celebrity's bread. What Mu Siran probably wants is to maintain the glory of being adored by millions.

Nono sighed silently. The world of the rich is so complicated.

Unlike her, a junior assistant who is content with earning a few thousand yuan a month and receiving a year-end bonus of tens of thousands of yuan.

If my boyfriend were even a tenth as handsome as Luo En or Luo Jiuyu, I'd be so grateful!
