The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 14

Seeing Lu Yiran preparing to start cooking, Wen Shiyan came over to her and said, “Yiran, you can just chop the vegetables, I’ll handle this side.”

“Ah, okay.” Lu Yiran took the washed vegetables from Xie Shuyao and started chopping.

Lu Yiran lowered her head and thought: That’s weird, what’s wrong with Wen Shiyan today? Did she take the wrong medicine?

The group worked together and finished cooking before two o’clock.

Director Zhang appeared and said to everyone, “We’ll be setting off tomorrow, so everyone should take this opportunity to get to know each other today. You’re free to do as you please!”

After Director Zhang finished speaking, he walked away.

“Is it really okay for us to be this casual?” Lu Yiran quietly asked Wen Shiyan.

“Mhm, it’s fine. It’s not the formal filming right now.”

Qin Mo walked up to Lu Yiran with a smile and said, “Miss Lu, shall we go to the nearby mall? I still need to buy some things.”

Lu Yiran couldn’t refuse Qin Mo. She glanced at Wen Shiyan and nodded in agreement.

“You don’t mind if I tag along, do you?”

Hearing Wen Shiyan’s words, Qin Mo forced a smile and said, “Of course, why would I mind?”

“Then let’s add me and Miss Ruan as well. Miss Ruan, are you coming too?” Suddenly mentioned by Lu Shiran, Ruan Ning blushed and nodded.

Qin Mo’s mouth twitched upon hearing this.

In the car, Ruan Ning sat stiffly.

“Teacher Lu, you can just call me Ruan Ning,” Ruan Ning said, looking down shyly.

“Then don’t call me Teacher Lu either,” Lu Shiran looked at Ruan Ning and smiled sweetly.

Ruan Ning nodded shyly.

On the other side, Lu Yiran looked speechlessly at the three people next to her.

“Why are all four of us squeezed into one car?” Although there was enough space, it was originally supposed to be two people per car, but Xie Shuyao and Qin Mo insisted on riding with her and Wen Shiyan.

“Of course, it’s because I’m a fan of you and Miss Lu,” Qin Mo looked at the three of them excitedly.

Lu Yiran felt that Qin Mo was somehow suspicious, but under the camera, her thoughts were suppressed, and her expression didn’t show any abnormality.

Upon arriving at the mall, Qin Mo pulled Lu Yiran inside.

“Wait, wait, there’s also Teacher Wen and the others…” Lu Yiran was gradually pulled away from the crowd by Qin Mo. A trace of panic couldn’t help but rise in Lu Yiran’s heart.

“Teacher Lu, could you give me an autograph?” Qin Mo took out a prepared paper and pen after speaking.

Lu Yiran saw Qin Mo’s action and subconsciously took a step back. She hadn’t expected that Qin Mo just wanted an autograph. Does that mean she had misunderstood Qin Mo before?

Lu Yiran blankly signed her name for Qin Mo.

“Thank you, Teacher Lu!” Looking at the signature, Qin Mo smiled at Lu Yiran without reserve.

“Uh… I’m glad you like it.”

The audience in the live stream was expecting a good show, but they were all surprised by how the plot turned out.

After following Qin Mo and finding Wen Shiyan and the others, Lu Yiran quickly ran to Wen Shiyan’s side and stayed close to her. Compared to walking with Qin Mo, she was more willing to stick close to Wen Shiyan.

Wen Shiyan asked Qin Mo, “Miss Qin, weren’t you going to buy something?”

“Ah, right, I’ll go buy things first, you all feel free to look around.” Qin Mo smiled at Wen Shiyan and then left.

“Then Ruan Ning and I will go look over there,” Lu Shiran said to Wen Shiyan, pointing to a less crowded area.

“Then what about us…” Xie Shuyao was a little worried that Wen Shiyan and Lu Yiran wouldn’t include her.

“Let’s go buy some gifts for everyone,” Lu Yiran said, taking Xie Shuyao’s hand and walking into the mall.

【Love Watching Them Stick Together: Their relationship is quite good, isn’t it?】

【Everything You Say Is Right: The rumors from the marketing accounts are indeed unreliable.】

After Lu Yiran and Xie Shuyao finished picking out gifts and were about to pay, Wen Shiyan paid for them one step ahead of her.

Lu Yiran stood next to Wen Shiyan, covering her mouth and quietly saying to her, “I brought money.”

Wen Shiyan thought for a moment and said, “Consider it as a return gift for the meal last time.”

After buying the gifts, Lu Yiran and the other two returned to the parking lot and found Qin Mo already waiting for them.

Seeing Lu Yiran appear, Qin Mo smiled and waved at her. After the group came to her side, Qin Mo handed out the keychains she bought to everyone.

Xie Shuyao put the keychain in her palm and thanked Qin Mo, “It’s so cute, thank you, Miss Qin.”

“Shuyao, just call me Qin Mo.”

At first, Qin Mo’s impression on Xie Shuyao was that she was difficult to get along with, but after interacting with her, she felt quite approachable.

The group chatted for a while, and Lu Shiran and Ruan Ning also returned.

“We bought some snacks, feel free to share them if you don’t mind,” Ruan Ning said somewhat self-consciously, holding the bags.

“Wow, Ruannuan, can you read minds?” Lu Yiran thanked Ruan Ning and unceremoniously took a pack of cookies to eat.

Seeing that Lu Yiran and the others didn’t decline but directly took what they wanted, Ruan Ning felt relieved.

Upon returning, Lu Yiran handed out the gifts she bought to everyone.

“Yiran, our two names are quite similar,” Lu Shiran’s sudden remark made Lu Yiran freeze for a moment.

“They really are quite similar,” Qin Mo and Xie Shuyao echoed.

Lu Yiran also suddenly realized that her name and Lu Shiran’s name were indeed quite similar, but because of her previous obsession with Wen Shiyan, she had been indifferent to everything else besides Wen Shiyan.

【Carefree: Similar names but vastly different fates.】

“Alright, it’s time to make dinner. Yiran, come help me,” Wen Shiyan stood up, interrupting their conversation. She picked up an apron and put it into Lu Yiran’s hand, then turned her back. Lu Yiran skillfully tied it for her.

After dinner, Lu Shiran and the others were in charge of washing the dishes, and Wen Shiyan cut some fruit for Lu Yiran.

“Don’t overthink things.” Wen Shiyan only said this one sentence, but Lu Yiran already understood what she meant.

“Mhm, I’ll listen to Teacher Wen.” Seeing Lu Yiran return to her usual demeanor, Wen Shiyan felt relieved.

“Can I ask Miss Lu a question?” Qin Mo asked Lu Shiran.

“Of course.”

“Miss Lu, why did you retire at the peak of your career?” Qin Mo asked one of the most curious events for the audience in the live stream.

When Lu Shiran retired, she only said goodbye to her fans and did not explain the specific reason for her retirement.

Lu Shiran smiled upon hearing this: “My health wasn’t very good at the time, and I didn’t want everyone to worry too much. Only Shiyan and my manager knew I was recuperating, and I specifically told Shiyan not to tell anyone.”

“Really?” Lu Yiran asked Wen Shiyan.

Wen Shiyan nodded, “It’s true.”

【Sticking Together: So that’s what happened.】

【Coke Must Have Ice: Since she’s appearing now, does that mean she’s better?!】

“Miss Wen and Yiran have known each other for a long time, haven’t you? But I heard your relationship before was…” Qin Mo said with an ambiguous tone.

“We…” Before Lu Yiran could speak, Wen Shiyan interjected, “We have indeed known each other for a long time. As for our relationship, it’s just what everyone sees now.”

The audience in the live stream thought they would hear some incredible revelation, but Wen Shiyan’s answer was surprisingly ordinary.

“Oh, is that so?” Qin Mo asked with some disbelief.

“Yes, that’s right,” Lu Yiran said, moving to sit closer to Wen Shiyan.

Lu Yiran looked calm on the surface, but in reality, she was panicking inside. Director Zhang on the side watched the drama unfold without attempting to stop Qin Mo, clearly enjoying the excitement.
