Chapter 523 Where's Zhanzhan? (1)
With Song Yu Han's sudden appearance, the cozy atmosphere in the hall became somewhat tense. But it couldn't be helped. With an extremely powerful person in the same place as you, one would inevitably feel pressured.
Miao Li and Su Zixi exchanged glances with each other.
She looked at him, and her eyes were looking at him as if asking whether to go ahead and ask what they had been curious about. Seeing that Su Zixi made no move whatsoever even after admonishingly glaring at him, Miao Li could only step forward to speak to Ran Xueyi.
"Sister Xueyi, how long have you two been together?"
It was quite surprising to find out that Ran Xueyi had a relationship with Song Yu Han. To be honest, hearing that she was married to him was not so surprising since the two of them looked at each other. However, what was shocking was that from the scene before them, Song Yu Han seemed to be the one who couldn't wait to take Ran Xueyi home.
Ran Xueyi turned her head to look at her before she replied, "It's been four years, right?"
Song Yu Han nodded his head, not even raising his head to respond as his hands were playing with one of her own. "Four years, three months, and 8 days."
He could even recite the hours and minutes of the first time they met each other until today.
Miao Li: "…"
Su Zixi: "…."
Ran Xueyi: "..."
Ran Xueyi threw him a helpless look as she silently complained to him. How can he remember so much? Even though that day was a memorable one, how could he possibly remember the exact hour and minute of their first encounter with someone? EVen she, who was skilled in memorizing her scripts, couldn't remember the day or weather. Could it be possible that Song Yu Han could remember what she was wearing and what kind of weather it was?
Unfortunately, Song Yu Han didn't divulge anything else as he couldn't be bothered to look at anywhere else other than Ran Xueyi.
When the after party was about to end, only a few guests stayed in the hall. Most of them had escaped the very second someone dared to leave the party.
Thankfully, the official first premiere of the film started great and they received a lot of praises from critics and fans. It didn't matter whether the after party ended in disaster.
Ran Xueyi and Song Yu Han decided to leave as well. However, unlike other people who left in a small group, several investors, producers, and even Director Sun, followed them outside as if they were sending back the country's prime minister.
Miao Li almost wanted to laugh out loud at the sight before her. However, under her manager's watch, she could only whisper some words to Ran Xueyi before saying goodbye.
As soon as they entered the elevator, the crowd dispersed. However, their hearts seemed to be united as they collectively sighed in relief that they survived the night.
"Were you disappointed?"
When the elevator had risen to the fourth floor of the building, Ran Xueyi heard Song Yu Han's voice inside the narrow space.
Disappointed?
"Why would I be?" Ran Xueyi asked in return.
"I announced that we're husband and wife in a small crowd." Song Yu Han's reply stunned her.
Ran Xueyi was unable to speak for a second as she was utterly baffled at his words. Is that why he's been looking down and hadn't looked at her once after they took their seats? Was he that worried about this matter?
Having heard no response from her, Song Yu Han thought that she was dissatisfied with his decision to tell everyone at the after party that they're married. He quickly explained, "It's not that I have no plans to tell our relationship to a bigger crowd. But I was angry that you had to attend the party when you're in that vulnerable state."
"I don't want anyone to take advantage of it and use it against you so I had to step in to give them a warning beforehand." When he came into the function hall, he could sense the malice heading towards Ran Xueyi. It was obvious that there were some troublemakers who wanted to make an issue about her late arrival. He also heard from the actress who called herself Miao Li that there were even some investors who intended to scold his wife!
This angered him so much. What would happen if he didn't come to the party with her? In her current state, Ran Xueyi will surely not be able to defend herself like she usually does. She might end up ignoring them to avoid further worsening her condition.
But ignoring was not the answer in this type of hostile attack. Eventually, someone will surely take it as a sign that they could bully her, and do and say whatever they wanted to her!
With only his simple introduction, he shut everyone up. Those who had bad intentions towards Ran Xueyi couldn't afford to offend him and cautiously avoided them. In the future, there will be no more people who would do something so stupid as making an enemy out of him and Ran Xueyi.
Ran Xueyi did not know what was going on in his head as he suddenly went silent. She understood what he was trying to tell her. But she was not so petty as to demand a lot of things from him.
Although she did imagine having their relationship being announced publicly so the world would know about it, Ran Xueyi would never pressure or stress him out just to do this for her.
Pulling him close, Ran Xueyi stood on her toes and gave him a kiss on his lips.
The sensation lingered for a few seconds before her voice echoed in the tight space, "It doesn't matter how many people learn about the truth of our marriage. The most important thing is we're happily married to each other and are willing to spend the rest of our lives together."
The world can stay in the dark forever. And what we have will belong to us for eternity.
…
Inside the hotel room.
Guo Yun just finished taking his bath and came out.
Wrapping himself with a clean towel, he walked to check on his phone to see a message from Adelle telling him that Ran Xueyi and Song Yu Han just left the party, and were on their way upstairs.
He replied with a thumb emoji pack and placed it on the table. He then walked towards the adjacent room where Little Zhanzhan was sleeping.
The room was dark with only the lights coming from behind him spilling through the gaps of the door he made. Guo Yun walked gently into the room, intending to give the little guy a pinch on his supple cheeks.
However, his plan was doomed to fail as the bed was empty.
Blinking his eyes, Guo Yun wondered if his eyes were playing with illusions. Again, he saw the bed was devoid of anyone lying on it.
"…Zhanzhan?"
He softly whispered in the dark.
No one responded.
Guo Yun's heart skipped a beat as fear overtook his entire body.
Within a second, he turned on the lights and looked around the entire suite. Still, he couldn't find Little Zhanzhan anywhere.
Where could that little guy have gone?
Guo Yun swore he tucked Little zhanzhan in bed before taking a bath. The duration, which he used to take a bath, did not even surpass ten minutes since he was afraid that Little Zhanzhan would be startled awake and found he was all alone.
Then, where is he?
Guo Yun had already checked the place, no one had forcibly entered the room. No signs of struggle could be seen nor were That left him with on conclusion…
Little Zhanzhan left the suite on his own two feet and went there any foreign traces belonging to someone else. The possibility that Little Zhanzhan was taken by evil-doers was crossed out.
That left him with on conclusion…
Little Zhanzhan left the suite on his own two feet and went somewhere else while he was taking a bath.
Guo Yun's eyes were blank as his lips were stretched into a thin line.
The moment he gets his hands on Little Zhanzhan, he'll smother him with brotherly kisses!
Without further ado, Guo Yun threw the door to the suite open and stepped outside to look for Little Zhanzhan. The hotel's security was high and no one could enter the suite floor without using the VIP elevator where one needed a passcode in order to use it. The emergency stairs also needed a passcode for anyone who came from outside to enter the floor.
Little Zhanzhan, however, could use the stairs since he came from this floor.
With that in mind, Guo Yun ran to the other end of the hallway. When he was about to reach the stairs, the elevator which was previously closed suddenly opened its doors.
Ran Xueyi and Song Yu Han were inside it and saw him. But their eyes were not focused on his face. Rather, the two of them looked at the towel that was hanging on Guo Yun's waist.
