The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 71

A month had passed since the wedding ceremony, but because Lu Yiran had suddenly live streamed the wedding without warning, and then she and Wen Shiyan both went into hiding, failing to appear on Weibo to explain the various confusions of netizens, the crowd of gossiping onlookers was getting impatient.

The sun shone on her body. Lu Yiran stretched and lay on a deck chair, watching a group of young girls playing nearby.

Not many people were at the beach now, but people still frequently walked past Lu Yiran. However, since Lu Yiran was wearing sunglasses, no one looked her way.

Wen Shiyan came over with the ice cream Lu Yiran wanted, bending over her. “Yiran, here.”

Lu Yiran, who had her eyes closed, suddenly felt a shadow cover her. Before Wen Shiyan could speak, she knew it was her. She sat up, took the ice cream, and began to eat.

Seeing that Wen Shiyan had only bought one, Lu Yiran paused her eating and asked Wen Shiyan, “Wen Shiyan, aren’t you going to eat?”

Looking at the melted ice cream on Lu Yiran’s lip, Wen Shiyan’s eyes darkened. She couldn’t help but swallow and said, “No need, I’ll just have a taste later.”

After everyone around them had left, Wen Shiyan tucked the stray hairs behind her ear and leaned slightly closer. Lu Yiran thought Wen Shiyan was going to lean down to eat her ice cream, so she moved the treat closer to Wen Shiyan’s mouth.

Wen Shiyan lowered her head and kissed Lu Yiran’s lips. A warm sensation came from the cool lips. Seeing Wen Shiyan’s eyes, Lu Yiran paused for a moment and then closed her eyes.

Their lips separated quickly. The melted ice cream liquid dripped onto Lu Yiran’s hand. Suddenly, a wave of coldness struck, and Lu Yiran jolted, quickly standing up to finish her ice cream.

Wen Shiyan stood by, waiting for Lu Yiran.

Lu Yiran held Wen Shiyan’s hand and said, “Xiao Mian is coming to visit us in a few days, Wen Shiyan, let’s go home tomorrow.”

Wen Shiyan had been watching Lu Yiran’s profile. After Lu Yiran finished speaking, Wen Shiyan replied, “Okay. Shuyao and Chen Ziyun also really like Xiao Mian, saying they want to take her out when she arrives.”

Suddenly, Lu Yiran saw a familiar-looking person not far away. She took off her sunglasses, looking at the person about to run towards them. Seeing who it was, Lu Yiran said in disbelief, “No way, they actually found this place.”

Xie Shuyao was out of breath when she saw the two of them. “I finally found you two! I’m telling you, you two! Auntie and the others and I only left for a little while, and you disappeared! Didn’t we agree you’d take a few more pictures and then be done?”

Wen Shiyan handed a bottle of water to Xie Shuyao and said, “I already told Auntie and the others that Yiran and I would be back soon. Sorry for making you come look for us.”

Lu Yiran scoffed, rubbing her cheeks. “I don’t want to take pictures anymore. My face is almost stiff from smiling.”

Although she said that, it was still considered work. Left with no choice, Lu Yiran followed Xie Shuyao and Wen Shiyan to take pictures.

Lu Yiran draped one hand over Wen Shiyan’s shoulder. She looked down and said to Chen Ziyun on the side, “I’m saying, it’s just photos. Didn’t we take a lot before? Couldn’t you just pick a few and post them?”

“This is different,” Chen Ziyun said. Looking at the time, she told Lu Yiran, “Okay, we’ll be done soon. Just bear with it a little longer.”

Lu Yiran sighed and changed her pose.

After the pictures were taken, Chen Ziyun saw Lu Yiran sitting in a chair, sighing. She walked over, sat down next to Lu Yiran, and patted her shoulder comfortingly. “Okay, we’re done. Don’t look so dispirited.”

Lu Yiran sighed again, cupped her face, looked at Wen Shiyan in the distance, and told Chen Ziyun, “Sigh, it’s not because of the photoshoot. It’s a problem between Wen Shiyan and me.”

Chen Ziyun hadn’t expected Lu Yiran’s distress to be related to Wen Shiyan. On typical days, Lu Yiran loved to show off her affection to her; Chen Ziyun didn’t even dare to ask Lu Yiran to hang out anymore.

Chen Ziyun asked with some curiosity, “Oh? Tell me about it.”

Lu Yiran stood up in front of her. “How do you think my relationship with Wen Shiyan is?”

Chen Ziyun answered without thinking: Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan’s relationship was undoubtedly extremely good. She didn’t know why Lu Yiran had been so infatuated with Wen Shiyan at first, nor did she know why Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan, despite being together for less than a year, seemed like they had been together for many years.

She only knew that the two were inseparable, and Wen Shiyan would be with Lu Yiran every moment if she could.

“That’s the problem. Wen Shiyan and I are basically together every minute, so I have no way to prepare a surprise for her!”

Alright, so Lu Yiran was just showing off her affection in a disguised way, wasn’t she? Chen Ziyun snorted and got up, wanting to get away from Lu Yiran. Lu Yiran quickly grabbed Chen Ziyun’s arm.

Chen Ziyun sat back down, and Lu Yiran followed, sitting beside her. Chen Ziyun leaned in and whispered to Lu Yiran, “Fine, I’ll think of a way for you. You want to give her a surprise, right?”

Then, she mysteriously lowered her head and whispered the plan to Lu Yiran.

As Lu Yiran listened, her face flushed. She pressed her hand against her warm face and shook her head. “No, no! I can’t do that!”

Seeing Lu Yiran’s shy reaction, Chen Ziyun laughed. “I was just saying that casually. You don’t have to follow what I said. And don’t you dare tell Wen Shiyan what I told you. You two surely can’t be together 24 hours a day. Just prepare the surprise during the small time you’re apart.”

Just as Chen Ziyun finished speaking, Wen Shiyan, who had finished work, came to find Lu Yiran. Chen Ziyun got up, patted Lu Yiran’s shoulder, greeted Wen Shiyan, and then left.

Wen Shiyan extended her hand to the sitting Lu Yiran. Lu Yiran bit her lip, then placed her hand in Wen Shiyan’s. Lu Yiran was pulled up by Wen Shiyan. When Lu Yiran saw Wen Shiyan, she remembered Chen Ziyun’s words and shyly lowered her head.

Wen Shiyan turned to Lu Yiran and said, “Yiran, let’s go home.”

“Mmm…”

The voice was so quiet it was barely audible. Wen Shiyan heard Lu Yiran’s slightly hoarse voice and worriedly asked if she was feeling unwell. Lu Yiran couldn’t possibly tell Wen Shiyan about the conversation she just had with Chen Ziyun. She used the excuse that talking too much with Chen Ziyun made her throat uncomfortable to gloss over it.

To prevent Wen Shiyan from seeing through her lie, Lu Yiran quickly linked arms with Wen Shiyan, leaning against her. “Wen Shiyan, let’s hurry home! I want to see Xiao Mian quickly!”

After being dropped off at the residential complex entrance, Lu Chiqiu looked at Lu Yiran through the car window with some disappointment. “Are you two really not going to stay with us?”

Lu Chiqiu respected her children’s decisions, but ever since Lu Yiran entered the entertainment industry, she hadn’t spent much quality time with her and Pei Ruochu. They didn’t say it, but they really wanted Lu Yiran to stay at home and accompany them.

Lu Yiran opened the car door and hugged Pei Ruochu and Lu Chiqiu. “No, Mom. We need to leave you two with some alone time. But Wen Shiyan and I will come to see you whenever we have time.”

Lu Chiqiu smiled after hearing that and stroked Lu Yiran’s head. “You silly girl.”

Opening the door to their long unseen home, Lu Yiran happily walked inside.

As soon as Wen Shiyan entered the house, she started sorting Lu Yiran’s clothes. Entering the bedroom, Lu Yiran saw the small clothes in Wen Shiyan’s hand, and Chen Ziyun’s words flashed in her mind. With a ‘bang,’ she closed the bedroom door, ran to the living room, and collapsed onto the sofa, burying herself deep inside it.

Lu Yiran’s face was red. For some reason, she thought of Wen Shiyan again. Lu Yiran pounded the sofa, thinking: It’s all Chen Ziyun’s fault for saying those things!

Wen Shiyan noticed that Lu Yiran’s behavior had been a little strange since the photo shoot ended. She quietly asked 190, “What’s wrong with Yiran? Why has she become a little weird?”

190 naturally couldn’t tell Wen Shiyan what Lu Yiran and Chen Ziyun had talked about. It pretended to be offline and didn’t answer Wen Shiyan. Wen Shiyan had no choice but to put down the clothes she was folding and go to the living room to find Lu Yiran.

On the sofa, Lu Yiran was lying face down. Wen Shiyan first turned Lu Yiran over to face her, then crouched down.

Wen Shiyan gently kissed Lu Yiran’s lips and said to her, “Yiran, let’s go out to eat tonight. I’ve already reserved a table at a restaurant. If the food is good, we’ll bring Xiao Mian next time.”

“Huh?”

Lu Yiran stared blankly at Wen Shiyan. After a while, she realized what Wen Shiyan was saying.

“Oh! I’ll go change my clothes now!” Lu Yiran got up, went to the bedroom, and closed the door.

Lu Yiran leaned against the door, her face slightly red. She was constantly struggling over whether or not to listen to Chen Ziyun. Lately, the most intimate thing Wen Shiyan had done to her was just kiss her. Lu Yiran covered her flushing face and squatted down.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yiran clenched her fists and looked determinedly towards the bathroom. She decided: I’ll do what Chen Ziyun said!

Seeing that Lu Yiran had drunk a glass of red wine and had no intention of stopping, Wen Shiyan grabbed her wrist just as Lu Yiran was about to pour a second glass.

Wen Shiyan worriedly asked Lu Yiran, “Yiran, what’s wrong?”

Caught by Wen Shiyan, Lu Yiran let out an uncomfortable little grunt. “Wen Shiyan, what are you doing?”

Seeing that Lu Yiran was already drunk, Wen Shiyan sighed, gently took the cup from Lu Yiran’s hand, put it down, stood up, and helped Lu Yiran leave the restaurant.

In the car, Wen Shiyan wiped Lu Yiran’s face with a tissue. “You can’t handle alcohol, but you insisted on drinking. If you do this again, I’ll have to punish you.”

After Wen Shiyan said that, Lu Yiran, who had been closing her eyes, slightly opened them and secretly glanced at Wen Shiyan.

“Wen Shiyan… I’m so hot…”

Lu Yiran’s hand restlessly tugged at Wen Shiyan’s collar, and her lips rubbed against Wen Shiyan’s neck. Wen Shiyan looked at the driver in front of them and bit her lip to prevent herself from making any strange noises.

Lu Yiran started to get even more excessive. Wen Shiyan let out a muffled groan, pressed down on Lu Yiran’s hands, and pulled her whole body into her embrace. Wen Shiyan took a deep breath and whispered in Lu Yiran’s ear, “Be good, Yiran, we’ll be home soon.”

Lu Yiran heard that, calmed down a bit, and obediently leaned into Wen Shiyan’s arms.

Upon reaching the complex, the driver opened the door for them and saw Lu Yiran hugging Wen Shiyan in her arms, refusing to let go and get out of the car.

Wen Shiyan had no choice but to lift Lu Yiran out of the car. Ignoring the driver’s gossiping gaze, Wen Shiyan carried Lu Yiran step by step back into the house.

Wen Shiyan placed Lu Yiran on the sofa and then went into the bathroom. After Wen Shiyan closed the bathroom door, Lu Yiran opened her eyes.

She wasn’t actually drunk; everything she had just done to Wen Shiyan was intentional. However, she hadn’t expected Wen Shiyan not to realize she was faking it. She had only had one glass of wine; how could she possibly be drunk? Wen Shiyan underestimated her too much.

The bathroom door opened. Lu Yiran quickly closed her eyes. Seeing that Lu Yiran was still “sleeping,” Wen Shiyan left the door slightly ajar and continued to run the bathwater.

Lu Yiran quietly put on the clothes she had prepared, stepped barefoot onto the floor, and went to the mirror. Lu Yiran’s ears were crimson as she looked at herself in the mirror.

She was barely covered by a few thin pieces of fabric. Lu Yiran quickly took off the clothes and went to the other room to shower.

Wen Shiyan walked out of the mist, towel drying her hair, but didn’t see Lu Yiran, who should have been sleeping soundly on the bed. Wen Shiyan immediately panicked and rushed out of the bedroom to look for Lu Yiran.

As soon as Wen Shiyan left the bedroom, she saw the guest bedroom door ajar. Wen Shiyan walked over and pushed the door open.

Lu Yiran was sitting on the bed. Water droplets hadn’t been wiped off her body yet, flowing down and gathering in one place. The fabric of her clothes was closely in contact with her skin, making them appear somewhat transparent.

Lu Yiran was currently debating whether she should go to the bedroom to give Wen Shiyan this surprise, completely unaware that Wen Shiyan had already entered the room. But to Wen Shiyan, Lu Yiran, sitting on the bed dressed like this, seemed to be actively inviting her to “devour” her.

“Yiran, did you do this on purpose?”

Wen Shiyan said, walking towards Lu Yiran step by step. Lu Yiran suddenly looked up, realizing Wen Shiyan had entered the room without her knowing. Full of shame, she frantically tried to grab the quilt beside her to cover herself.

Wen Shiyan pressed down on Lu Yiran, the tip of one finger touching Lu Yiran’s chest.

Wen Shiyan looked at Lu Yiran’s eyes, which were trying to avoid her gaze. Lu Yiran would never do something like this on her own; someone else must have taught her.

Wen Shiyan kissed Lu Yiran, and Lu Yiran, overwhelmed with shyness, responded passionately to Wen Shiyan.

The surrounding temperature kept rising. When Lu Yiran needed to breathe, Wen Shiyan separated their lips.

Wen Shiyan whispered in Lu Yiran’s ear, “Yiran, tell me who taught you to do this.”

Lu Yiran didn’t speak. Wen Shiyan continued, “If Yiran tells me, I’ll give Yiran a reward.”

Hearing the word “reward,” Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan’s eyes while catching her breath and asked, “Really?”

Wen Shiyan answered Lu Yiran with action.

Lu Yiran covered the already minimal and now messy clothing on her body with a red face. Wen Shiyan didn’t make any further moves; she quietly appreciated the surprise Lu Yiran had given her.

Seeing Wen Shiyan just watching her, motionless, Lu Yiran, who was initially shy, started to feel a little anxious. Her fingertip secretly touched Wen Shiyan’s palm, then quickly withdrew.

Seeing no reaction from Wen Shiyan, Lu Yiran got up and casually draped a piece of clothing over herself. She turned to Wen Shiyan and said, “Alright, that’s my surprise for you. I’m going to sleep now.”

Lu Yiran’s cheeks were flushed. She took a deep breath and let out a little hmpf. Just as she was about to leave, Wen Shiyan picked her up.

“Aren’t you going to catch a cold dressed so lightly?” Wen Shiyan said, covering Lu Yiran with the clothes on her body and carrying her to the bed in the bedroom.

Lu Yiran didn’t want to talk to Wen Shiyan. She was dressed like that, and Wen Shiyan was worried about her catching a cold!

Wen Shiyan’s hand landed on the delicate strap of Lu Yiran’s clothing. With a gentle touch of her slender, long hand, the already loose strap came undone.

Suddenly, a chill swept over her. Lu Yiran gasped and quickly covered her front with her hands, her face red.

“Wen Shiyan!”
