Song Yu Han's hand was placed on the back of her neck, the cold and rough skin of his palms, somehow gave her a contradicting gentleness and warmth. The shadows that lingered around Ran Xueyi crawled back to a place that the light could never reach again.
Ran Xueyi knew that what he was doing right now might throw everything into chaos. The moment her fans and the people nearby noticed Song Yu Han's little movement, there was no way to escape. Ran Xueyi should warn him about it as they had no plans of revealing each other to the public tonight. But her mouth was tightly closed and a slight anticipation of being found grew tremendously inside of her.
No words were exchanged between them, only a slight touch of skin. However, a thousand unspoken and comforting words seemed to slip through his hands.
The film was coming to an end. The fans were becoming more and more heated by the sudden progression of the climax. The villains were vicious, but there seems to be a touch of humanity in them that many ignored. Of course, there are some evil people who don't have any morality left in their souls.
Finally, the main leads played by Su Zixi and Miao Li got the justice everyone wanted. Their romance also bloomed beautifully across the silver screen, allowing everyone who had watched them develop their love while shifting between working and stress, feel as if they were injected with sweet candies.
When the beam of light coming from the projector dimmed and the sparks of lights coming from the ceilings were turned on, the audiences couldn't contain their excitement and started talking about how the film had captured them.
Some fans expressed their sadness. Some mentioned being scared by the villains. And most sang their praises for the film's cinematography and the characters inside it.
Eventually, the film satisfied everyone's tastes.
When everyone was free of the restraint that held them down on their seats, Director Sun, Su Zixi, and Miao Li were confused where Ran Xueyi go.
"Where's Ran Xueyi?"
"Huh? Wasn't she sitting beside me?"
Miao Li looked at the two empty seats for a second before guessing what had happened. A mysterious smile was on her lips as she said, "Sister Xueyi told me earlier that there's some urgent thing she needed to do and saw her leave with her manager. Why don't you call her, director?"
Director Sun nodded and took out his phone. He looked through his contacts, found the right number, and pressed call. A few seconds later, it was connected.
"Ran Xueyi, is there something wrong? You left the theaters so quickly." His brows were tightly knitted together.
However, a man's deep and low voice answered him, "Something urgent happened. My wife will be taking her leave."
"Ah?"
Wife? Director Sun was flabbergasted for a second there. Then, he snapped out of his daze before he realized what was going on. Sh*t, the person who answered the call is Ran Xueyi's husband!
Director Sun quickly said, "Oh, then she probably won't be able to attend the after party, right?"
Song Yu Han replied, "Yes–"
"Wait, I will attend."
Suddenly, the voice on the phone changed. Now, it was Ran Xueyi who was speaking to Director Sun.
"I'm sorry, director. I wasn't feeling well just now. I'll be late but I'll definitely be present at the after party."
"Oh, it's alright. You don't have to force yourself–"
Director Sun didn't even finish his sentence when the deep voice of a man sounded again.
"I'm taking you to the hospital."
"I don't need it. I can just rest for a bit then I'll be okay."
"Stop being stubborn, Xueyi."
"I'm not. I really do feel better now."
"Really? Should I put you down then?"
"No! Carry me to the dressing room. You're not allowed to put me down!"
Director Sun: "..."
Miao Li and Su Zixi were still waiting for director Sun to finish speaking to Ran Xueyi and saw the strange expression on his face as if he had just swallowed a whole lemon.
Director Sun, who just swallowed a big serving of dog food, spoke to the phone, even though he knew the other side might not hear him anymore, "Well, I'll hang up now. You can come to the after party anytime you want."
There was no reply. The other side was definitely distracted and completely forgot about him.
Director Sun slowly took the phone away from his ear and glanced over at it. In a daze, he wondered if he was dreaming.
So, Ran Xueyi is really married?
He was surprised.
When Ran Xueyi confessed being married to someone, a lot of people didn't believe her. Actresses and actors had several ways to keep their popularity to the top. Scandals, gossip, and even leaked private information could be used by them and their PR team just to gain fame and keep on being a top star.
The most tragic thing for a superstar and a celebrity was having no scandal or even news about them. That could only mean that their careers have ceased to exist, and are no longer salvageable.
And Ran Xueyi's timing was too coincidental.
Thus, many people believed that Ran Xueyi had lied and only used the disguise of being married to someone to protect herself from scandals. They already expected her to announce her divorce from her 'fake marriage' soon after the storm had calmed down.
But Director Sun did not expect he had the first one to be shot at by this unexpected truth.
Ran Xueyi didn't lie about her marriage. She really has a husband!
"Director?"
"Director Sun, are you okay?"
…
At the same time.
Being princess carried by someone had some advantages and disadvantages. But the gains, naturally, outweigh the losses.
When Ran Xueyi started to feel her body calming down, Song Yu Han didn't waste any second to carry her. Thanks to the sudden dim of the projector light as the film ended, nobody had seen them as they entered through the personnel only door.
His legs were too long and he walked fast enough before the lights on the ceilings were turned on. So, they were not seen by anyone inside the theaters.
But they weren't so lucky when they entered the backstage hallway that leads to several rooms and doors. Several staff members, theater team, and managers saw a tall man carrying a woman wearing a baseball cap above her head.
Song Yu Han ignored the inquiring gazes that were sent to them as he made his way straight to Ran Xueyi's dressing room when the call stopped him mid-walk in the corridor.
After the call, Ran Xueyi shamelessly ordered him to continue carrying her even though he quite vocally expressed his desire to send her to the nearest hospital.
Closing the door behind him, Song Yu Han gently placed her on a leather couch inside the dressing room. His legs did not stop walking as he carried another person in his arms before placing the little figure of their son on top of Ran Xueyi's lap.
Adelle watched them in silence. The timing was not too great for her to interrupt the couple. She also noticed the grimness of Song Yu Han's expression and thought it was better to keep her questions to herself for now.
Then, they saw him ordering people through his phone.
"Get Doctor Chu and have him come to the address I just sent to you. Tell him to wait there for me to come"
"Bring a blanket as well and make sure that the room is clean."
"Also, contact Marilyn Grace and tell her that the remuneration for the dress will be delivered to her later."
A string of orders came out of his lips very naturally.
The poor lad on the receiving side definitely has it hard. But Ran Xueyi knew that she had already expended most of Song Yu Han's patience.
It was his first time seeing her having an attack due to her method acting. It wouldn't be strange for him to overreact like this. If it was her in his shoes, she would do the same, too.
Behind the table, Adelle signaled to her and asked what was going on. Ran Xueyi replied with a silent gesture that it was because of her method acting.
Understanding flashed across her manager's eyes. Then, Adelle mouthed to her if she wanted some privacy between her and husband.
Naturally, Ran Xueyi didn't refuse this, and nodded.
Once Adelle left, Song Yu Han finally opened his lips. "Since when did it start?"
Song Yu Han was not stupid to not guess why Ran Xueyi was acting like that during the premiere of the film. The moment 'Ruan Jiaojia' appeared on the screen, she started to tremble and her face turned so pale it was already a miracle she didn't faint.
Ran Xueyi bit her lips and stared at him, then said, "When I was nine years old."
It was the first time she developed her method acting. It was also the start of her curse.
