Due to its explosive result, the film <The Invitation> and the entire cast was received very well by everyone. Not only that, the main leads as well as the supporting characters who acted in the film all received different offers.
As for Ran Xueyi, invitations from all across the TV networks around the country have been pouring in endlessly. Directors who have seen her role in the film have also sent in their scripts for her to pick from them. All in all, things have been looking very well for her.
As days passed, Ran Xueyi spent most of her time inside the hotel suite that they were staying in after arriving in the city. Her time this time was all dedicated to her son and husband, who stayed beside her holed up in the same space as her.
"Mommy, what else should we watch?"
Little Zhanzhan, who appeared in front of the door with a pillow in his arms, stared at her.
Ran Xueyi patted his tiny head and said, "Wait a second, baby. Mommy will first call someone and then we can watch another movie, okay?"
Little Zhanzhan nodded adorably before sitting back on the couch beside his father. Raising his head slightly upward, the little boy looked at Song Yu Han's face for a while.
"..."
Song Yu Han read the report about the land auction being successful when he noticed someone staring at him.
He took his eyes off the papers in his hand and looked down. He met his son's light brown eyes, who seemed to be in a daze.
Pat.
Suddenly, a small hand touched his nose then continued to grope his face.
Song Yu Han frowned but let his son do what he wanted to his face before asking, "What's going on?"
He wondered if there was some dirt on his face for his son to react this way. But then, he remembered that Little Zhanzhan would rather not do anything than take the dirt off his face.
After a few seconds, Little Zhanzhan pulled away his tiny hands and sighed.
Song Yu Han was even more confused at his son's sigh. Why did he sigh as if he was disappointed about something?
However, his son didn't satisfy his curiosity as he remained silent. Then, out of nowhere, his cute and small voice sounded, "A'Yu, when I grow up, will I look like you?"
Song Yu Han replied without hesitation, "I think you will."
Little Zhanzhan inherited more than just his appearance. Many people have acknowledged this already.
"Really?"
"Yes… But why are you asking?"
Little Zhanzhan smiled, "Nothing…"
Tsk, even though he didn't want to admit it, his stinky father's look is too good. It's no wonder mommy would fall for him. Maybe, it's also a good thing that he's his father, he can inherit the same looks as him when he grows up.
Soon, Ran Xueyi came out of the bedroom and sat beside the little boy. They yet started another movie marathon to spend their time together.
…
"Are you sure you wanted to go alone?" Song Yu Han stood before Ran Xueyi with a worried look on his face. His entire body radiated with an aura that said that as soon as she said otherwise, he would do anything to prevent her from going through this plan.
However, Ran Xueyi nodded her head despite his obvious actions, "I'm going to be alright. Are you not confident about my capabilities?"
"It's not like that," Song Yu Han sighed.
"I know you will do great there, but I can't keep worrying about you. You're my wife and mother of my son… I just don't want anything to happen to you."
Ran Xueyi smiled reassuringly at him. "Then, stop worrying. Besides, you'll be there for me anyway. If there's really something wrong, I'll run to you."
Although he was still not assured, Song Yu Han could no longer dissuade her from going to the Cao family's party. He didn't want to be on a cold war with her and spend a night sleeping alone without her beside him.
And Ran Xueyi was right. Even if they appeared separately, they could still see each other from afar.
"Then, call me when you've arrived." After speaking, Song Yu han pulled her and kissed her on the lips. The two shared a passionate kiss before Song Yu Han finally stepped into his car.
When the car was nowhere in sight, Ran Xueyi also got inside her own car. She looked at the rearview mirror and met a pair of blue eyes staring at her.
Then, Ran Xueyi said to the driver, "Let's go."
The party was located atop a small mountain. The road towards the mansion that sat at the tip of the mountain was filled with luxurious cars.
At a glance, Ran Xueyi recognized some faces. They were all from renowned powerful and extremely wealthy money all across the world.
Their car was temporarily parked beside an inspection booth. Two males wearing a sophisticated military uniform knocked on the tinted window.
The driver's window was pulled open and a deep, sinewy voice sounded coming from the driver's mouth, "What's wrong?"
The two males were slightly mesmerized by the unique and foreign appearance of the driver. Especially the overwhelming pressure they felt from him.
The driver didn't look like a driver. Rather, he had the countenance of a foreign young master.
"Please wait for a moment, we will just do a brief inspection." After saying this, the two military men rounded the car and searched under it as well.
When they're done, one of them said, "We're sorry about the inconvenience, sir. We're done with our inspections so you can go on ahead."
Immediately, the two military officers changed their attitude quickly.
The window closed and the car started to move again.
"The Cao family seems high on their guard today. Makes me think something bad is about to happen. Don't you think so, Boss?" the driver said while glancing at the rearview mirror.
Ran Xueyi was silent for a second before replying, "It's not only about their strict inspections…"
A lot of people from overseas arrived as well. It was as if a big event was planned by the Cao family. But what could it be?
No, wait… she hadn't heard anything about An Hun.
"Carsilion, have An Hun made any strange movements after their elder visited Cao family?" asked Ran Xueyi.
The driver, who was called Carsilion, shook his head. "They have been silent since that day. However, there's a strange rumor going around the Assassin's Association."
Carsilion was a member of Lobo, the information company that Ran Xueyi established while she stayed in the Ren Country.
He was born and raised as an assassin but due to his desire to be free from the shackles of his dark past, he sought Ran Xueyi's help and became one of her loyal people along with Lapis and Reina.
Ran Xueyi was surprised. "What rumor?"
"An Hun are hiring outsources from different organizations."
