The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 70

“What did you say? You want to propose to Wen Shiyan!”

Chen Ziyun bit down on the straw in her cup, staring at Lu Yiran in disbelief.

Hearing the loudness of Chen Ziyun’s voice, Lu Yiran quickly glanced around. After confirming that no one was looking at them, Lu Yiran whispered to Chen Ziyun, “Shhh, keep it down, it’ll be bad if someone hears us…”

Seeing Chen Ziyun cover her mouth, Lu Yiran lightly cleared her throat and said, “It’s exactly what I just said. I plan to propose to Wen Shiyan.”

Hearing Lu Yiran’s definite words, Chen Ziyun’s jaw nearly dropped. “But you’ve only been together for less than a year, haven’t you? Are you really together for nine years, like the rumors on Weibo say? Lu Yiran, don’t lie to me.”

Lu Yiran smiled and said, “How is that possible? I didn’t even know Wen Shiyan before. That Weibo post was just a joke.”

Of course, Lu Yiran wouldn’t tell Chen Ziyun that she and Wen Shiyan had genuinely been together for nine years. After all, besides her and Wen Shiyan, no one else knew about it.

Chen Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief. “Phew, you scared me.”

“I was wondering how you managed to be with Wen Shiyan for so long behind my back. Ever since you posted that Weibo, so many people have come to me asking if it’s true. Don’t play such scary jokes next time.”

“Alright, let’s talk business.” Lu Yiran asked Chen Ziyun somewhat nervously, “Do you think she’ll say yes if I suddenly propose to her?”

Chen Ziyun clicked her tongue at Lu Yiran’s question. “Oh, please, stop showing off your affection in front of me. Of course, she’ll say yes! Besides, haven’t you already prepared the ring? Why not just do it tonight?”

Hearing the word “ring,” Lu Yiran subconsciously touched her pocket. Ever since she had the idea, she started preparing for the proposal. She designed the ring herself after finding a teacher to learn the necessary skills, and she had even figured out the wedding process.

But she wasn’t sure if Wen Shiyan would accept her proposal, because Wen Shiyan had never spoken to her about marriage…

Lu Yiran shook her head and said, “No, I plan to do it in a few days…”

After the ring was made, Lu Yiran didn’t know where to hide it. She was afraid Wen Shiyan would find it anywhere in the house. After thinking for a few days, she finally decided to carry the ring with her all the time.

The moment Lu Yiran returned home, Wen Shiyan noticed something was off.

Wen Shiyan got up and walked to the door to greet Lu Yiran, asking her, “What’s wrong? Why do you look so unhappy? Didn’t you go out to eat with Chen Ziyun?”

“I’m very happy, Wen Shiyan, you must be mistaken.” Lu Yiran said as she took off her jacket and walked to the sofa to sit down.

Wen Shiyan didn’t press further. She sat beside Lu Yiran and gently said, “Then I must have been mistaken.”

Lu Yiran was almost going crazy after hiding it from Wen Shiyan for a few days. She wanted to tell Wen Shiyan that she had designed a ring for her, but she didn’t dare to say it out loud.

Wen Shiyan drank her tea and watched Lu Yiran pacing back and forth in front of her without saying anything. She was waiting for Lu Yiran to confess what was going on.

“Wen Shiyan, did Sister Xiao Yu tell you about Shuyao and me shooting a magazine cover?”

Wen Shiyan nodded and said to Lu Yiran, “She did. What about it?”

Lu Yiran was surprised that Wen Shiyan seemed indifferent to her being with Xie Shuyao. After saying it was nothing, she prepared to go back to the bedroom to rest, but Wen Shiyan called her back.

Wen Shiyan asked Lu Yiran, “When is the shoot?” Lu Yiran told Wen Shiyan the specific time.

A large portion of Lu Yiran’s fans on Weibo were CP fans of her and Wen Shiyan. Although Lu Yiran didn’t understand why she was asked to shoot a magazine cover, it was a job that could earn her a good amount of money, so Lu Yiran agreed without hesitation.

Chen Ziyun was called out by Lu Yiran again. She dropped her bag on the chair with a bang and said to Lu Yiran, “Lu Yiran, why did you call me out again… I’m busy even if you’re not!”

Hearing Chen Ziyun’s words, Lu Yiran said, “You’re busy? How come I heard from your mom that you’ve been staying at home every day doing who knows what?”

Seeing that she was exposed by her own mother, Chen Ziyun cleared her throat. “Fine, fine. Tell me, is it about you and Wen Shiyan again?”

“No.” Lu Yiran sighed. “Sister Xiao Yu told me that a company wants Xie Shuyao and me to shoot a magazine cover together. You know I’ve been a slacker at home for a long time. Do you think I can really handle this?”

Hearing Lu Yiran’s sighs, Chen Ziyun thought something big had happened.

Although Lu Yiran agreed quickly to Xiao Yu, she still worried after agreeing whether she could handle it.

Chen Ziyun comforted Lu Yiran, “Relax, don’t you have Wen Shiyan? If you don’t understand something, just ask her. And you have Xie Shuyao, you two have a good relationship, right? If you’re unsure of anything at the shooting, ask her or the staff.”

Lu Yiran was worried precisely because she couldn’t ask Wen Shiyan. Because of the ring, she had been subconsciously avoiding Wen Shiyan these past few days. Fortunately, Wen Shiyan had been busy with work, otherwise, Wen Shiyan would definitely notice her abnormal behavior. If the ring was discovered, all her plans would be ruined.

On the day of the magazine cover shoot, Lu Yiran was about to leave but was held back by Wen Shiyan. Lu Yiran tried to take a step forward, but Wen Shiyan still wouldn’t let go.

Wen Shiyan held Lu Yiran’s hand and looked down, saying, “I didn’t want to be like this, but when I thought about you shooting a double cover with someone else, I just… Plus, you’ve been avoiding me these past few days. I know this is wrong of me, it’s just your job, but I can’t help it…”

Wen Shiyan felt a little jealous. Even though she and Xie Shuyao were sisters, and Xie Shuyao wasn’t an outsider, she knew this was wrong of her…

Seeing that there was still time, Lu Yiran took Wen Shiyan’s hand and led her to sit on the sofa, saying to her, “Wen Shiyan, what are you imagining? I have a girlfriend, and I’ll only allow this once.”

After saying that, Lu Yiran undid the button on Wen Shiyan’s collar and planted a kiss there. Seeing her mark left on the skin, Lu Yiran stood up satisfied and said to Wen Shiyan, “Be sure to hide it well so others don’t find out.”

Watching the mischievously smiling Lu Yiran leave, Wen Shiyan lowered her head, her earlobes red, and tightly clenched the front of her clothes.

Who did Lu Yiran learn this from…

The job went smoothly, just as Chen Ziyun said. Lu Yiran asked Xie Shuyao or the staff whenever she was unsure of anything. The day passed quickly; Lu Yiran didn’t even have time to recall the details of the shoot before the day was over.

“Thank you, everyone. I’ll be leaving now.” After greeting the staff, Lu Yiran left with Xie Shuyao.

Lu Yiran found the shooting process quite interesting, perhaps because it was her first magazine cover, and everyone took good care of her. The day was fulfilling and happy, but after it was over, Lu Yiran started feeling an indescribable exhaustion.

After returning home, Lu Yiran hugged Wen Shiyan, took a bath, and fell asleep. Wen Shiyan didn’t disturb Lu Yiran, who slept until noon the next day.

Lu Yiran woke up and checked the time groggily. Seeing that it was already noon, she jolted up from the bed.

“It’s already this late!” Lu Yiran said, getting out of bed and putting on her clothes. Her phone alarm didn’t ring, and Wen Shiyan hadn’t even woken her up. She had arranged to meet Xie Shuyao before noon today!

Lu Yiran hurriedly dressed and opened the bedroom door. The moment she opened it, she saw Xie Shuyao sitting in the living room. Xie Shuyao heard the movement from the bedroom and looked over, just in time to see Lu Yiran, who was fumbling with her clothes, freeze in place upon seeing her.

Xie Shuyao greeted Lu Yiran, “Hi, Sister Yiran, you’re awake. My sister said you weren’t awake yet, so she told me to wait here.”

As soon as Xie Shuyao finished speaking, Wen Shiyan came out of the kitchen. Seeing Lu Yiran still frozen at the bedroom door, Wen Shiyan walked over and helped her straighten her clothes. Xie Shiyao was already used to their interactions and casually sipped the juice in her cup with a straw.

Lu Yiran couldn’t let Wen Shiyan know what she wanted to discuss with Xie Shuyao, or she wouldn’t have arranged to meet Xie Shuyao outside. She looked at Xie Shuyao nervously, fortunately, she hadn’t told Xie Shuyao the purpose of their meeting yet.

Wen Shiyan was still wearing a turtleneck inside. She handed a glass of milk to Lu Yiran and asked her, “So, what are you two meeting to do?”

Seeing Lu Yiran remain silent, Xie Shuyao chimed in to Wen Shiyan, “I don’t know why Sister Yiran asked me to come either.”

Both looked at the silent Lu Yiran.

Lu Yiran was sweating nervously and said to Wen Shiyan hesitantly, “Um, that… Can I not say it now?”

Wen Shiyan understood that this was something she couldn’t know yet. She pretended to look at her phone and said to Lu Yiran, “Sister Xiao Yu needs me for something. You two talk first, I’m leaving.”

After saying that, Wen Shiyan left the two of them.

After confirming that Wen Shiyan was really gone, Lu Yiran stealthily pulled Xie Shuyao into the study and closed the door.

Lu Yiran said to Xie Shuyao, “You absolutely cannot tell your sister about this after I tell you.”

Xie Shuyao nodded and looked at Lu Yiran curiously, waiting for her to speak.

“I’m planning to propose to Wen Shiyan…”

Before Lu Yiran could finish, Xie Shuyao jumped up excitedly.

“Seriously!” Xie Shuyao said, then suddenly felt she was too excited. She calmed down and sat back down.

Xiao Yu was stunned after hearing Wen Shiyan’s words. “Shiyan, what did you say? You plan to propose today?”

Wen Shiyan calmly replied to Xiao Yu, “Yes, I’ve already prepared the ring, and Yiran seems a bit unhappy these past few days, so I think proposing today is best.”

Xiao Yu didn’t expect Wen Shiyan and Lu Yiran’s relationship to be so good. She only knew they had been together for less than a year, and Wen Shiyan was already preparing to propose. Although she was afraid Lu Yiran might not accept a sudden proposal, seeing Wen Shiyan’s confident demeanor, Xiao Yu didn’t voice her worries.
