The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 48

Seeing the luggage beside Lu Yiran, Chen Ziyun watched the trending topic about Lu Yiran continue to gain popularity. She sighed.

“You should stay inside for a while. I will explain the situation to your aunt at the company. Just stay at home.”

“That works too, I wasn’t planning on going out anyway.”

Lu Yiran said this as she carried her luggage back upstairs.

Chen Ziyun was worried that Lu Yiran frequently trending would leave a bad impression on the public, when suddenly, some trending topics like #Wen Shiyan and Xie Shuyao’s Relationship Exposed# squeezed out the topics related to Lu Yiran.

Chen Ziyun couldn’t believe it and clicked into the trending video. The two people in the video were embracing. After seeing their profiles, Chen Ziyun was sure they were the genuine Wen Shiyan and Xie Shuyao.

There was no mistake. Chen Ziyun watched a few other videos; all of them showed intimate scenes of Wen Shiyan and Xie Shuyao close together. As she was watching, she suddenly looked up and saw Lu Yiran standing on the stairs, frozen in place with her phone in hand.

Lu Yiran slowly descended the stairs, her expression blank.

“Chen Ziyun… is this real?”

Looking at Lu Yiran, Chen Ziyun hesitated before confirming Lu Yiran’s words.

“It’s real. The video is not edited, and after watching these videos, you’ll definitely be sure it’s them.”

Lu Yiran knew the person in the video was Wen Shiyan, but she just didn’t want to face reality. Although she thought that it wouldn’t matter even if Wen Shiyan and Xie Shuyao were together, when it actually happened, an inexplicable feeling of emptiness arose in her heart…

At Wen Shiyan’s house, Xiao Yu looked at Wen Shiyan and Xie Shuyao sitting in the living room and angrily threw the notebook she was holding onto the floor. “Who took this!”

“Xiao Yu-jie, calm down,” Wen Shiyan said, handing Xiao Yu a glass of water.

Wen Shiyan looked at the trending video. One of the videos was a shot of her hugging Xie Shuyao in front of her house previously. “Can we just deny the video directly?”

“The content of the video cannot be faked. We denied the content as soon as the video was released, but…”

But many people only believe what they see.

Wen Shiyan glanced at Xie Shuyao and said to Xiao Yu, “How about we just say that Xie Shuyao and I are sisters?”

“No, if you directly say you are sisters, it will bring up the issue of that movie before. At that time, it will become that you snatched Lu Yiran’s role for your sister, Xie Shuyao.”

“In short, you still can’t disclose your relationship,” Xiao Yu said, rubbing her forehead helplessly. After speaking, Xiao Yu began to use all her connections to find out who stole the video and who posted the Weibo.

It was likely that the person who took the video deliberately aimed for this…

Hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Wen Shiyan was in a dilemma. She really wanted to clarify quickly and not let Lu Yiran misunderstand, but if she really clarified, Lu Yiran would be dragged into it again.

Wen Shiyan called and texted Lu Yiran, but never received a reply. She was constantly staring at her phone, wanting to see Lu Yiran’s response, but the phone remained silent.

Wen Shiyan used Xiao Yu’s and Xie Shuyao’s phones to text Lu Yiran, but still got no reply.

She couldn’t go out now. If she couldn’t go out, she couldn’t tell Lu Yiran whether this matter was true or false. If Lu Yiran took the trending topic seriously, she would be in trouble!

Wen Shiyan sat anxiously on the sofa, clutching her head.

A day later, the popularity of the relationship exposure topic began to drop. Although the cold treatment was slightly effective, many people already believed that Wen Shiyan and Xie Shuyao were genuinely together.

Lu Yiran used a private account to post a comment under Wen Shiyan’s trending Weibo, then she turned off her phone.

Seeing the listless Lu Yiran, Chen Ziyun sat beside her to comfort her. “Lu Yiran, I don’t think this can be real. Why don’t you ask them yourself?”

Hearing Chen Ziyun’s words, Lu Yiran forced a smile.

“So what if they are really together? Chen Ziyun, let’s go out and have some fun.” Lu Yiran said, pulling Chen Ziyun to leave the house.

“Wait… wait a minute!”

Chen Ziyun was caught off guard by the pull. She hadn’t had time to pick up Lu Yiran’s phone that was thrown on the sofa before Lu Yiran dragged her away.

Sitting in the car, Chen Ziyun was instructed by Lu Yiran to drive to a shopping mall far from home.

After getting out of the car, Lu Yiran slung her bag over her shoulder and pushed down her sunglasses.

Looking at the pile of unread messages on her phone, Chen Ziyun tugged at Lu Yiran, who was walking ahead of her.

“Is it really okay for us to come out and play without replying to Ms. Wen and the others?”

Seeing that the CP fan topic for Wen Shiyan and Xie Shuyao was already trending, Lu Yiran snorted and took off her sunglasses.

“Then let’s help them find out who took the video.”

Using her family connections, it took less than a morning for Lu Yiran to sit on the sofa at home and see evidence that Director Wang had been active near Wen Shiyan’s home.

The issue of candid filming was quite serious. The community was originally advertised as having the strongest privacy, which was why the houses sold for so much. Now this had happened. Xiao Yu chose to call the police directly.

Looking at the paper handed to Lu Yiran, Chen Ziyun said, “Lu Yiran, are you saying it’s that fat guy?”

“Yes, it’s him, Director Wang, Wang Pei.” Lu Yiran finished speaking and threw the paper onto the table in disgust. The papers scattered on the table, and Lu Yiran irritably pulled at her hair.

It’s him again, it’s him again! Why is he haunting them like a ghost! And Wen Shiyan! Is she in such a hurry to date Xie Shuyao?!

Seeing Lu Yiran about to explode with anger, Chen Ziyun quietly said, “Then I’ll tell Xiao Yu now.” Chen Ziyun said, calling Xiao Yu.

Listening to Chen Ziyun’s words, Xiao Yu gradually frowned. “Okay, I understand.”

Xiao Yu hung up the phone and looked at Wen Shiyan.

“The person who secretly filmed your video is Wang Pei. Also, Chen Ziyun said that Lu Yiran saw the Weibo and is already furious.”

“Sis, hurry up and clarify! I don’t care what happens to me! Hurry up and tell Yiran-jie!” Xie Shuyao was listening to their conversation nearby. Although she wanted to see what a jealous Lu Yiran looked like, she was afraid her sister would mess up. What if she hadn’t even started pursuing her yet and had to face the ‘chasing wife cremation ground’ situation from the start?

Wen Shiyan originally looked gloomy and depressed, but hearing Xiao Yu and Xie Shuyao’s words, her eyes brightened. Then, without even putting on a coat, she rushed out the door.

“Miss, Ms. Wen is here to see you.”

Seeing Wen Shiyan, who was lightly dressed, following the butler, Lu Yiran coldly snorted, turned around, folded her arms, and said, “I’m not seeing her.”

“This…” Seeing Wen Shiyan determined to enter, the butler looked troubled and said to Wen Shiyan, “Ms. Wen, our Miss has said so. Maybe you can come back in a few days.”

Wen Shiyan didn’t speak but looked at Lu Yiran, who was standing at the door and not entering the room.

“Yiran, I forgot to wear a coat. It’s so cold outside…”

Lu Yiran glanced at Wen Shiyan after hearing this. It was almost winter, but Wen Shiyan was only wearing an incredibly thin shirt.

Seeing the pale Wen Shiyan standing in the wind, Lu Yiran couldn’t bear it after all. She pushed the door open and walked inside.

Seeing Lu Yiran walk into the house, Wen Shiyan thought Lu Yiran really didn’t want to see her anymore and stood sadly in place. After the initial excitement faded, Wen Shiyan realized just how cold it was today.

Noticing that Wen Shiyan was still standing there (silly/frozen), Lu Yiran turned around and said to her, “What, don’t you want to come in? Hurry up and follow.”

After Lu Yiran spoke, Wen Shiyan’s eyes lit up. She walked past the butler and followed Lu Yiran into the house.

After changing her shoes, Wen Shiyan softly said to the house, “Sorry for the intrusion…”

“My mom and them aren’t home. Make yourself comfortable,” Lu Yiran said, about to head upstairs.

Seeing Lu Yiran about to leave her, Wen Shiyan stepped forward and grabbed Lu Yiran’s wrist. “Where are you going?” Realizing her hand was freezing cold, as if it had no warmth, Wen Shiyan quickly let go, afraid of chilling Lu Yiran.

Feeling a fleeting coldness on her wrist, Lu Yiran glanced at Wen Shiyan and threw her jacket at her. “I’m going up for a bit, I’ll be down soon.”

Hugging Lu Yiran’s clothes, Wen Shiyan buried her face in them. The familiar scent made her feel safe…

Accidentally seeing Wen Shiyan’s action, Chen Ziyun in the living room didn’t dare to move. Seeing Wen Shiyan walking towards her, Chen Ziyun immediately stood up and said, “I didn’t see anything!”

Sure enough, Wen Shiyan had a crush on Lu Yiran! She caught her now.

Wen Shiyan put on Lu Yiran’s jacket and thanked Chen Ziyun, “Thank you, Miss Chen.”

“Eh?” Chen Ziyun was still confused about what Wen Shiyan was thanking her for. Suddenly, she remembered the call she made to Xiao Yu today.

“Oh, it’s nothing. If you want to thank someone, thank Lu Yiran. She was the one who offered to help you.”

After Chen Ziyun spoke, she saw a look of surprise and delight on Wen Shiyan’s face.

Lu Yiran on the stairs heard Chen Ziyun’s words. Her face flushed, and she said, “Nonsense! I just happened to find out, and besides, I’ve long disliked Wang Pei!”

“Oh, oh, oh.”

Chen Ziyun teased Lu Yiran.

Lu Yiran, whose face was completely red, hugged the scattered papers on the table so Wen Shiyan couldn’t see them.

“Yiran, thank you.”

Lu Yiran deliberately ignored Wen Shiyan after hearing her words. Starting now, stay away from Wen Shiyan and don’t talk to her!

“Aunty and them should be coming home soon, I’m leaving too,” Chen Ziyun said to Lu Yiran at the door.

“Not staying for dinner?”

“No.” Chen Ziyun said, glanced at Wen Shiyan, who was still lingering at Lu Yiran’s house, and then left.

Looking at the closed door, Chen Ziyun smiled and got into her car. When she got home, she absolutely had to tell Xiao Yu about this interesting thing that happened today!

Seeing that it was indeed getting late, Wen Shiyan also prepared to leave.

“Yiran, then I’ll be leaving too.” Wen Shiyan said, seeing Lu Yiran sitting motionless on the sofa with her eyes closed.

Wen Shiyan walked in front of Lu Yiran and squatted down, moving closer to her.

“I really have to go now…”

Hearing Wen Shiyan repeatedly tell her that she was leaving because she wasn’t speaking, Lu Yiran suddenly opened her eyes and straightened her back, but she didn’t realize Wen Shiyan was right in front of her.

Due to the excessive force, Lu Yiran’s lips landed on Wen Shiyan’s face.

After being kissed by Lu Yiran, Wen Shiyan suppressed her joy and touched her face. Lu Yiran covered her mouth, looking at Wen Shiyan in front of her in disbelief.

Wen Shiyan was looking down, and Lu Yiran couldn’t see her expression. She thought Wen Shiyan would be disgusted with her.

“I’m sorry…” Lu Yiran stood up, covering her mouth, and went upstairs with a sad expression.
