Chapter 521 YH Group's Chairman and Ran Xueyi's Husband
Director Sun wished he could turn back time so he wouldn't have made that foolish mistake. He could feel the weight of all the stares directed at him, and his face burned with shame.
Ran Xueyi, noticing the director's embarrassment, looked at him with a hint of concern before she teasingly glanced over at Song Yu Han, who responded with a sigh. They both knew that Song Yu Han's striking beauty was almost otherworldly, something that people found hard to believe. Even their son, who inherited most of his father's features, was similarly captivating and drew everyone's attention.
"A— and who might this be?" Director Sun asked, clearing his throat as he gestured towards the man standing beside Ran Xueyi.
As soon as the director spoke, the other guests nearby turned their attention towards Ran Xueyi and her companion, their eyes filled with curiosity and speculation. They wondered who this strikingly handsome man could be. Was he a new actor or model in the entertainment industry, perhaps? And did Ran Xueyi's late arrival at the after-party have anything to do with him?
A whispered thought began to circulate among the guests, quickly turning into a collective assumption that many seemed to accept as truth. All eyes fell on Director Hao, then shifted to Ran Xueyi, as if waiting for confirmation of their suspicions.
They were obviously assuming that Ran Xueyi's late arrival was due to her using her connections to let this man enter the entertainment world through a backdoor. He must be the 'nephew' of some director or someone important.
However, it was undeniable that Song Yu Han had looks that most people would covet. The moment Ran Xueyi introduced him and asked them to take care of him, many would surely jump at the opportunity to really 'take care' of him.
Even Director Hao, who was known for his interest in young and fresh women, was completely captivated by Song Yu Han. He wished he could have Song Yu Han by his side and pamper him. Even if he wasn't interested in exploring that side of himself, Director Hao knew that there were plenty of powerful and influential people who liked to play with fresh and handsome men.
Stepping forward, Director Hao almost couldn't control the smile on his lips as he asked,, "Miss Ran, it's been a long time. Do you remember me? We met when you were still young."
Ran Xueyi turned to him and replied, "Yes, Director Hao."
"Yes, I'm glad you remember me. I'm one of the investors in this film, and it's fantastic to see you as a part of the production. With your presence, the popularity of this film is sure to skyrocket!" As he spoke, the lights in the function hall gleamed off his bald head.
Ran Xueyi smiled politely and responded, "Thank you for your kind words, but my role only has a few scenes. I doubt my appearance will have much impact on the film's popularity."
Ran Xueyi knew that Director Hao's words would likely incite people to dislike and antagonize her, and it wouldn't be surprising if they created negative rumors about her the next morning.
She glanced over at Director Sun and understood why his face looked unsightly when they entered the hall; Director Hao must have said something to him before they arrived.
"Sister Xueyi!"
At that moment, Miao Li left her table and walked over to their group. She hugged Ran Xueyi's arm and sneaked a glance at the man standing beside her.
'Hmm... it's really the guy I saw in the theater,' she thought to herself.
Earlier, Miao Li had seen this man sitting behind the seat where Ran Xueyi was sitting in the theater. His countenance was barely visible under the dim light coming from the cinema projector. However, now that he was standing amongst the glitters and sparkles of the lights in the function hall, his appearance was clearly embedded in everyone's mind.
"Sister Xueyi, is this guy your boyfriend?" Miao Li asked.
Miao Li whispered to Ran Xueyi, taking advantage of the distance between them and the others to ask her question. Ran Xueyi smiled at Miao Li's adorable act of sneaking ahead of everyone to get answers from her.
"What do you think?" Ran Xueyi asked instead of answering.
Miao Li instantly replied in a hushed tone, "He should be! You two match each other too well. It would be a tragedy if you're not together!"
Su Zixi, who was following closely behind Miao Li because he was afraid of being left alone at their table, overheard her words. He froze for a second before turning to get a closer look at Song Yu Han.
In that one glance, Su Zixi could feel his heart shattering into pieces. As a fanboy, he couldn't completely surrender Ran Xueyi to any other man, just like many other fans who followed their stars wished to find out who was the lucky guy who was able to snatch her. If he wasn't a good man, he would be the first to sign a petition very closely. When he found out Ran Xueyi was married, he locked himself inside the bathroom for an hour to cry his heart out. He wished to find out who was the lucky guy who was able to snatch her. If he wasn't a good man, he would be the first to sign a petition for their divorce.
However, he was actually quite surprised that the man standing beside Ran Xueyi was a high-quality man. The air of elegance and refinement that surrounded him was almost palpable. Su Zixi felt a pang of inferiority. He was an actor, yet another man could make him feel so little. This was a hit on his ego!
Wait… why does he look familiar?
Then, an image of Ran Xueyi walking on the red carpet at the All-Star Night Gala with a man popped into Su Zixi's mind.
—screech!
Like a car abruptly braking and causing a terrible accident, Su Zixi's mind exploded!
"What's wrong with you?" Miao Li noticed him looking like he had swallowed a fly.
Su Zixi opened and closed his lips a few times before he threw the crowd a disbelieving look. Were these people blind? Or perhaps they had momentary amnesia? How could they possibly forget that outstanding and extremely powerful man who walked with Ran Xueyi on the red carpet? That event even trended on social media for two days!
The memory of that night was still fresh in his mind, and he couldn't believe that others had seemingly forgotten about it so easily.
But it was not that everyone was blind. It's just that the event had happened several weeks ago, and there were too many things that had emerged and replaced that boisterous event. Furthermore, Song Yu Han was never the type to make a grand appearance. Even though he was quite a big shot in the country, and politicians were afraid of looking straight at him, not many people had seen him. So, it was quite possible that many did not recognize him when he walked into the function hall.
But Su Zixi, a fanboy of Ran Xueyi, definitely remembered Song Yu Han!
"Come here." Su Zixi mouthed and signaled for Miao Li to come to his side.
Miao Li, who was confused and did not want to go to him, rolled her eyes and clung even tighter on Ran Xueyi's arm.
Su Zixi was on the brink of ripping his hair out as he took a look at Song Yu Han and saw him staring at Miao Li, or more precisely, staring at her arm that was h0lding Ran Xueyi's!
He was not familiar with Song Yu Han, but as a man, he could easily tell what that pair of cold eyes were conveying without saying a word!
However, at this point, Ran Xueyi had prolonged everyone's curiosity. Moreover, Director Hao was too eager to express his intentions to Ran Xueyi.
"Miss Ran, is this person someone in our circle? He seems to look like it," Director Hao's eyes roamed up and down on Song Yu Han's tall figure in satisfaction before asking, "What is your name? Are you an artist in the same entertainment company as Ran Xueyi?"
It would be better if he wasn't. But even if he is, Director Hao's intention of 'supporting' this man to become famous in the entertainment world had already bloomed to a great extent.
Song Yu Han was still glaring at the hands that were holding his wife's arm. The concern for her did not disappear even after she repeatedly told him she was alright. When he heard Director Hao asking him, he turned his head slightly, and his cold and indifferent voice was directed at him.
"Song Yu Han," he told him, his eyes chillingly cold. "YH Group's Chairman and Ran Xueyi's husband."
The entire world seemed to stand still and freeze while the silence in the room was deafening as Song Yu Han's voice echoed through the air. The hearts of many quickly turned over and their eyes widened in disbelief as if they couldn't believe what they were hearing.
The atmosphere became tense, and everyone seemed to hold their breath as they waited for what would happen next.
