The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 47

Wen Shiyan took out the pendant from her pocket.

Under Lu Yiran’s terrified gaze, Wen Shiyan walked towards Lu Yiran with the pendant.

“I apologize, I was too rude today. If you don’t mind, please accept this.”

Wen Shiyan said and handed the pendant to Lu Yiran. Lu Yiran hesitated for a moment but still accepted it.

The pendant felt warm in her palm. Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan, who was lowering her head in self-reproach and didn’t notice Lu Yiran looking at her.

Holding the pendant, Lu Yiran felt a strange feeling in her heart. Putting the pendant away, Lu Yiran said to Wen Shiyan.

“I forgive you.”

Hearing Lu Yiran’s words, Wen Shiyan relaxed.

Opening the door, Lu Yiran saw Chen Ziyun standing by the door. Chen Ziyun saw them come out and pretended to be casually strolling in the living room.

Since she had apologized to Lu Yiran, and Chen Ziyun was still at Lu Yiran’s house, Wen Shiyan had no reason to stay any longer.

“Then I’ll be leaving.”

Chen Ziyun also said she had things to do and needed to leave.

Seeing the two people saying they were leaving together, Lu Yiran nodded and said, “Alright, then I won’t see you out.”

Lu Yiran closed the door. Chen Ziyun walked to the elevator, and Wen Shiyan followed behind her.

Chen Ziyun suddenly turned around and asked Wen Shiyan behind her, “Miss Wen, is there anything else?”

“I hope Miss Chen won’t mention what happened today to anyone else, including Yiran.”

After Wen Shiyan finished speaking, she saw a guilty look on Chen Ziyun’s face.

“Th-that’s for sure, Miss Wen, please rest assured.” Chen Ziyun said as she entered the elevator. She only breathed a sigh of relief after the elevator doors closed and she couldn’t see Wen Shiyan’s face anymore.

Chen Ziyun patted her chest. She was scared to death. She was originally going to complain to Lu Yiran about what just happened.

Seeing Wen Shiyan just return home like that, the System said to her.

【I feel like she still didn’t seem very happy just now.】

The System could see it, and Wen Shiyan had long realized it too. But based on her understanding of Lu Yiran, going to see her again now would only annoy Lu Yiran more.

She planned to apologize to Lu Yiran again when Lu Yiran came over for dinner tonight.

Lu Yiran saw the pendant and wanted to throw it away, but her hand froze in mid-air. In the end, she replaced the pendant around her neck with the one Wen Shiyan gave her.

Forget it, they were all bought with money, it would be a waste to throw it away.

In the evening, Wen Shiyan cooked a table full of dishes and waited for Lu Yiran to come over to eat together. After the food had already cooled down, Wen Shiyan waited for another half hour for Lu Yiran. Usually, Lu Yiran would have already come to her house, but she hadn’t come over yet. Wen Shiyan looked at the time and decided to wait another twenty minutes for Lu Yiran.

When the time was up, Wen Shiyan got up, went across the hall, and rang Lu Yiran’s doorbell.

Lu Yiran opened the door and saw Wen Shiyan outside, but she didn’t mean to let her in. She leaned against the door, blocking Wen Shiyan’s way.

“Something wrong?”

Seeing Lu Yiran’s coldness when speaking to her, Wen Shiyan lowered her head and said weakly, “I came to call you for dinner…”

Lu Yiran nodded, took the thank-you gift she had bought for Wen Shiyan from the cabinet behind her, and put it into Wen Shiyan’s hand.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you, I’m moving out of here tomorrow to go home for a while. You won’t have to trouble yourself anymore. Thank you for taking care of me during this time.”

This was originally a gift she was going to give Wen Shiyan later, but it seemed better to give it to her sooner now.

“I…”

Looking at the heavy gift in her hand, Wen Shiyan stood silently. Was it because Lu Yiran disliked her and wanted to distance herself? Well, anyone would probably dislike the person who suddenly treated them that way…

“I understand.” Wen Shiyan hugged the gift, turned around, and went home.

Looking at the desolate back view Wen Shiyan left her, Lu Yiran felt deeply confused. Didn’t she just say she was going home for a while and thanked Wen Shiyan for taking care of her during this time? Did she say anything else?

After returning home, Wen Shiyan sat motionless on the sofa. Her face was cold, showing no emotional fluctuation.

The System couldn’t stand it anymore.

【Are you planning to chase her like this? She hasn’t even said anything yet, and you’re already acting like this.】

Wen Shiyan didn’t speak.

Lu Yiran wanted to talk to Wen Shiyan before leaving in the morning, but she knocked on Wen Shiyan’s door for a long time, and Wen Shiyan didn’t open it. She sent Wen Shiyan a message, but Wen Shiyan didn’t reply. Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Yiran took one last look at Wen Shiyan’s door and left.

Hearing Lu Yiran’s footsteps fade away, the System looked at Wen Shiyan, who had been sitting against the door all night without sleeping, and said angrily.

【You idiot! Why didn’t you open the door for her!】

Listening to Lu Yiran’s footsteps gradually disappear, Wen Shiyan hugged her knees and buried her head deeply.

Pei Ruochu, who hadn’t gone to the company yet, saw Lu Yiran return home and asked, “Why are you back suddenly?”

Looking at her two mothers holding hands, Lu Yiran sighed and walked straight into her room.

Chen Ziyun: [Lu Yiran, I think Wen Shiyan…]

Seeing the message from Chen Ziyun, Lu Yiran replied.

[What about her?]

Chen Ziyun: [I think she cares about you a lot. You told me before that she had someone she liked, do you think the person she likes could be you?]

Seeing the content of Chen Ziyun’s message, Lu Yiran was shocked. She got up from the bed and quickly typed on her phone.

Lu Yiran: [How is that possible!]

After sending the message, Lu Yiran immediately turned off her phone and hid under the covers.

How could Wen Shiyan like her? She still liked Wen Shiyan a bit, but she would definitely not try to confess to Wen Shiyan again!

Wen Shiyan hadn’t been online on Weibo for a long time, and many people were guessing whether she was going to retire from the entertainment industry.

Xiao Yu was also frequently asked about Wen Shiyan. Xiao Yu told everyone who asked that Wen Shiyan was just resting and wouldn’t retire, but she still received many private messages every day.

Although she didn’t check private messages often, many people in the industry would come and ask her in person. Finally, the overwhelmed Xiao Yu barged into Wen Shiyan’s house.

As soon as she entered, she saw Wen Shiyan squatting in the corner, staring blankly. Xiao Yu stepped forward and pulled up the seemingly dejected Wen Shiyan.

“Shiyan! I thought you wouldn’t make me worry about you. If you continue like this, I might reconsider our partnership.”

Xiao Yu said this, but she had been with Wen Shiyan for many years and had long considered Wen Shiyan her best friend. She only said these things to stimulate Wen Shiyan.

Sitting on the sofa, Wen Shiyan felt that she couldn’t continue like this.

“I’m sorry, Sister Xiao Yu. I will adjust my mood by today, but can the movie matter be postponed?”

Seeing Wen Shiyan return to the way she knew her, Xiao Yu patted Wen Shiyan’s shoulder.

“Of course, you have two months off, and you still have to promote the movie during the New Year.”

Although Wen Shiyan said she would adjust her mood, Xiao Yu’s job also included Wen Shiyan’s mental and physical well-being. After all, Wen Shiyan didn’t like strangers around her, and when they first started working together, Wen Shiyan had given her several people’s salaries.

“Come on, tell me what’s on your mind.”

With someone to talk to, Wen Shiyan honestly shared what was on her mind with Xiao Yu.

Taking the book off her face, Lu Yiran looked at the dazzling sun outside the window.

“Sigh, so bored.”

The company hadn’t needed her these past few days. For the piano, she only needed a few days with the teacher to find her previous feeling again, and then just practice every day.

“I’ve decided!”

Lu Yiran got up, dressed, packed her luggage, and booked a flight ticket back to the countryside.

Although the bodyguards in the countryside told her that the village chief would take the flood issue seriously, she was still a little worried. Besides, she had promised Du Mian to take her out to play.

As Lu Yiran carried her luggage downstairs, she saw Chen Ziyun rushing into her house.

“Lu Yiran, don’t go out to play yet, look at this.”

Lu Yiran then noticed that her Weibo account had been deactivated because the time was up, and people were already starting to notice that her account was gone.

“Don’t you have an account too? Just say that Lu Yiran is saying goodbye to everyone.” Lu Yiran didn’t consider herself a qualified actress, and she had never used the word “actress” on herself since her debut.

“Okay, then I’ll say that…”

Lu Yiran canceled the flight ticket she had booked. She called the bodyguards and told them to pick up Grandma and Du Mian and take them to the town first, not allowing them to return to the village.

As soon as Chen Ziyun’s Weibo post went out, the number of reposts instantly soared.

Many people couldn’t believe that Lu Yiran, who had stayed in the entertainment industry even with poor acting skills and by starring in bad dramas, would suddenly retire.

“Sure enough, no one believes it. Lu Yiran, I didn’t expect that even though you’re leaving, you can still cause a stir, hahaha.”

Chen Ziyun laughed seeing the comments under the Weibo hot search. It was these people who were the loudest in scolding Lu Yiran before, but now that Lu Yiran quit, they all pretended to be reluctant. Lu Yiran was probably considered “black-famous” now.

Lu Yiran also found it strange. She had clearly been starring in bad dramas, yet she had been on the hot search rankings several times. Was this considered being “black-famous”?

Xie Shuyao couldn’t believe it when she saw the Weibo post. She rushed upstairs and went to Wen Shiyan’s bedroom, pushing the door open without knocking.

“Sis! Do you know about Yiran Sis retiring?!”

Seeing Xie Shuyao enter without knocking, Wen Shiyan frowned and then said in a voice without any fluctuation.

“No.”

Looking at Wen Shiyan, who seemed completely unconcerned about what she said, Xie Shuyao couldn’t help but step forward and put the Weibo content in front of Wen Shiyan.

But Wen Shiyan’s expression remained unchanged. Xie Shuyao had a bad feeling. Her sister clearly said she was staying there to be closer to Yiran Sis, but she had been returning home frequently these past few days, and now she was completely unmoved when hearing about Yiran Sis.

Xie Shuyao instantly teared up. Could it be that the CP she was shipping was going to BE so soon!

Seeing Xie Shuyao look at her as if she was very pitiful, Wen Shiyan pressed her forehead with her hand in exasperation, closed her eyes, and then used her fingertip to block Xie Shuyao who was approaching her.

“Calm down. Don’t overthink. This is Yiran’s own decision. I will support whatever she decides to do.”

Hearing Wen Shiyan’s words, Xie Shuyao felt like she was shipping the CP again.
