Chapter 524 - Yan Huan Was Very Smart



Chapter 524: Yan Huan Was Very Smart

Eventually, he would meet the other half of his life, but that person would not be her.

Maybe it was predestined that she would disappoint him, but it was better than leading him on.

Yan Huan was not a saint, but there were some things that could be done while there were others that should not be touched; she was well aware of the boundaries.

In the afternoon, the production distributed packed meals for lunchtime. Yan Huan really liked to eat the lunch provided by the crew. She had been eating it for about half a year and was used to it when she was filming ‘When The Song Ends’. Of course, not to mention that the food was really good. She took her own lunch box and picked out the meat before placing all of them into Luo Lin’s container.

“Can you eat it? It’s such a waste to throw it away.”

For kids like her who grew up depending on no one but themselves, they would often cherish the food they have. Hence, they rarely wasted food. When she was still with Yi Ling, Yi Ling would finish up her food if she could not finish it. As Yan Huan’s manager, aside from managing all of Yan Huan’s affairs, the most important skill was to eat meat.

There was no choice as Yan Huan was a person who refused to eat meat no matter what; but she was also a person who was reluctant to waste food. At the end of the day, her manager would be the person to finish it.

It was fine if it was just a day or two, but this happened everyday. Yan Huan would not get fat, but her manager would definitely grow fatter. Yan Huan picked out her meat piece by piece, leaving none for herself. Luo Lin looked down at the pile of meat in her container, helplessly picking up a piece and forcing it into her mouth.

“Yan Huan, what are the both of you doing?” Liang Chen asked curiously. She could not understand why they were passing their food to each other.

Yan Huan raised her face and bashfully said, “I don’t eat meat but my manager loves it.”

Luo Lin continued poking at her rice with her chopsticks. Yes, she did like eating meat, but she was going to get sick of eating so much meat.

“Oh, no wonder your manager has put on some weight lately.”

Liang Chen nodded continuously. It seemed like she really should not eat so much meat – just one portion would suffice. If you had two portions of meat everyday, it would be a one-way road to getting fat.

As for Liang Chen’s manager, she looked at Luo Lin with pity. If she continued eating at this rate, she would be as fat as a pig in no time.

What else could Luo Lin do? She mentally shed tears of frustration as she continued eating her rice while poking at the meat.

The meat was already in her bowl, she could not possibly throw them away. Regardless of what Yan Huan might say; if they wasted it, she could not possibly forgive herself.

Yan Huan continued eating, and raised her head towards Liang Chen’s direction. She had no knowledge about what happened to Liang Chen in her previous lifetime, as that actress had stopped auditioning for movies and slowly faded away from the entertainment world.

If she had not invited Liang Chen over and supported her, there was a high chance that Liang Chen would remain in the shadows – and at the end of the day, she would gradually be forgotten by everyone.

Yan Huan walked over and sat opposite Liang Chen. She asked tentatively, “Sister Liang, you seem to be cutting down on acting jobs these days. Are you getting ready for any major projects?”

“So I’m finally a ‘sister’ and not a ‘senior’ anymore huh,” Liang Chen extended her hand to pinch Yan Huan’s cheeks. Such a youthful complexion could only be found on young girls. It was a pity that she has grown old, and her youthfulness would never return. As for the question of whether she was preparing for any major projects?

She shook her head and replied, “What projects are there? It’s just that after spending so much time and effort in the entertainment industry, I’m getting tired. I want to take a rest now.”

She wanted to rest for the rest of her life? Of course, Yan Huan kept the statement to herself. There was no light in Liang Chen’s eyes, nor was there any passion in her heart to continue. Yan Huan believed that if she had not been the one to step forward to ask Liang Chen for help; if it had been someone else, Liang Chen might not have agreed to help. Yan Huan had no idea why Liang Chen looked at her differently.

Actually, it was because of the bowl of noodles she had cooked for Liang Chen. It was because of that bowl of noodles that Liang Chen decided to help her.

For Yan Huan, it would have been a bit baffling for Liang Chen to retire just like that. Even if she wanted to retire, at least she should have had a valid reason. However, Liang Chen did not feel like sharing, hence she could not do anything as well.

Yet, she felt that something must have happened between Liang Chen and Qi Haoran. She peered over at Qi Haoran and saw him chattering and laughing with a newbie – the chemistry between them was palpable.

Now, Yan Huan felt that not only women were hard to comprehend, men can be quite unreasonable and confusing at times.

If there were true feelings involved, Yan Huan thought, There would be hints and traces of it that could not be hidden. This theory proved to be right in a few days time, as Yan Huan finally discovered something after observing them for so long.

Everyone else might believe that there was nothing out of the ordinary between Liang Chen and Qi Haoran, but she did not share that belief.

When night fell, Yan Huan switched on her phone and started her daily video call session with Lu Yi. Both of them were busy with their own responsibilities, but it felt as though they were really by each other’s side. This silent yet familiar company felt more genuine than any sweet words or flowery promises.

Liang Chen walked in. She saw that Yan Huan’s phone was propped up on the desk so she picked it up, only to see Lu Yi on the screen. He was sitting in front of the table, his fingers dancing swiftly on the keyboard. When he raised his head and saw Liang Chen, he nodded his head in acknowledgment.

Liang Chen returned his acknowledgment before returning the phone back to its original position.

If you compared between Yan Huan and her, who had it better?

She had achieved international recognition in the entertainment industry at a young age. When she was at Yan Huan’s age, she was a leading actress renowned throughout the entertainment industry. At the age of 34, her fame and popularity continued to soar, but she began to feel tired. She wanted to escape.

Maybe in the future, she would find a life partner and retire; just like Yan Huan.

Yan Huan was smart. She knew that all the men in the entertainment industry could not be trusted. They might treat you well today, but the next thing you know they might try to destroy you. They might flatter and flirt with you today, but the next thing you know they were also flattering and flirting with other women as well.

Yan Huan had made a wise decision. It was not she found a husband from another field of occupation, but rather because she had chosen to entrust the rest of her life to this man at such a young age. This was the golden age of a woman’s life, just like a flower in full bloom – and she allowed this man to stay by her side for the rest of her life.

Unlike herself. Liang Chen laughed self-deprecatingly while she caressed her face. In the industry, there were still various women who were 34 years old or older, so she was not considered too old yet. Her career was still on the rise, she could continue on until she hit 38 or 40, and maybe even older – but she no longer had the zest for it. She was tired.

“Sister Liang, are you thinking about a man?”
