Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

At this time, Adelle had already made her way to their direction. Although she accidentally overheard their conversation, since the direction where they were speaking was not a private area solely used by them, she naturally could pass by.

Seeing an unfamiliar lady who looked stern and very disciplined at a glance, Shi Yun's manager still chose to keep his mouth shut and wait for the woman to leave the area before persuading Shi Yun to return to the capital with him.

However, his plans were thwarted as the woman unexpectedly stopped after passing by their figures.

She made an 'Ah' sound before turning around and looked at Shi Yun. Then, they heard her say: "You're the new actor filling in for the third male supporting lead, right?"

Hearing her say this, Shi Yun instinctively answered: "Yes?"

Adelle smiled after nodding and said, "They're looking for you outside. You should hurry or the director will be mad at you."

Even though Shi Yun's decision to come to this film was due to Director Qing Luo's invitation, he still had the desire to take things into his own hands. That's why he only bowed slightly at his flabbergasted manager and went outside where the crew was currently shooting scenes.

Shi Yun's manager reacted quickly as soon as he saw Shi Yun leave and wanted to catch up to him but the woman who just interrupted them just now suddenly blocked his way with her eyes narrowed.

Adelle did not look down on idols or actors who climbed on top of other people's beds to rise up their ranks as everyone in the entertainment industry had their own method for survival. Legal and illegal, cheating and buying fame. All of these are just part of their many ways to get what they wanted.

However, what she could not tolerate is when people force other people to do these kinds of unscrupulous ways.

For example Shi Yun. Despite not knowing the entirety of the situation, her years as a manager in the entertainment industry would have gone to waste if she actually couldn't tell if one was reluctant and eager to do these 'things'.

Shi Yun must have wanted to avoid going to that party that his manager was talking about. The result of joining that party... Adelle could already tell what ending Shi Yun would have gone through. Either he would become someone's lover for a while before being discarded or become a plaything anyone could use and throw around.

"As a fellow manager, let me give you a piece of advice," Adelle began to open her mouth and stood before Shi Yun's manager. "Even though there are a lot of faster ways to shoot one's position to the top, it is better if one is willing than forced."

Shi Yun's manager was surprised to hear her speak to him like this and was slightly annoyed. He sneered at her and said, "Even though I don't know who you are, please spare me that righteous nonsense. Instead of butting your noses in my artist's business, why don't you handle your own and leave me alone?"

Adelle was not angered by his words as she raised her eyebrows, "You're right. I don't have any right to mind your business. But I can report you to the authorities for conducting illegal prostitution. I'm sure your agency and all those who took part in it will be pleased and thank you for your hard work."

She looked at the face of Shi Yun's manager who was turning pale and ghastly as she continued, "I grew up under my grandmother's care and also knew that being righteous is a good thing. Since I saw an illegal activity of forcing someone to prostitute himself under the harassment of their manager, it broke my heart and it made me want to call the authorities on you."

Initially, Adelle did not have this personality where she could speak ruthlessly without changing her expressions, but after seeing Ran Xueyi deal with her problems with a calm and indifferent demeanor, she also learned how to pretend to be pitiful and calm while making other people spit out a mouthful of blood because of what she said.

Seeing that the manager was afraid that she would really call the authorities on him, Adelle waited for him to scram away before sighing deeply.

Looking at the fruit juice in her hand that had now turned slightly lukewarm, she made her way back to the canteen to ask the kitchen lady to replace it with a cold one. Anyway, the bottle was unopened so they won't complain about it.

After replacing the bottle of fruit juice, Adelle turned around only to see someone familiar in front of her. The distance between them was slightly too close but thankfully, before she turned around, she took a step back and didn't bump against the person.

However, it still didn't hide her shock when she recognized who it was and her lips curled up into a smile, "What are you doing here?"

Guo Yun was slightly caught off guard by her smile and said lightly, "The little young master wanted to come so I brought him here."

This was the first time she heard of this and she looked around her as if she was looking for the figure of a young boy.

Seeing her looking for someone, Guo Yun's heart was slightly bitter but he hid his disappointment and explained, "Little Zhanzhan stayed in the villa with the other guards. I'm here to report something to the Boss."

Adelle lowered her gaze in disappointment and sounded, "Oh..."

"You look disappointed... You miss him that much?" Guo Yun unexpectedly stepped forward.

Adelle had her attention on his question and didn't notice that he erased the distance she created when she turned around.

Pouting, Adelle honestly said, "Honestly, it's been a while since I last saw Zhanzhan so I'm quite excited to see him again. It's too bad that you didn't bring him with you."

Guo Yun saw her lips pouting and his eyes automatically lingered on her lips. His throat was slightly dry and he had a hard time finding his voice. Then, he said, "Is he the only one you missed?"

Adelle did not know why he suddenly asked this so she could only raise her head in confusion. However, because of this, she noticed that they were standing too close and his eyes were gazing too deep at her.

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Adelle wanted to step back but then she wondered why she would step back?

She raised her head and looked intently at him. Then, Adelle said, "Aside from him... who else should I miss?"

Actually, when these words left her lips, it didn't really mean anything. She was curious and confused why he asked this question. After all, aside from Zhanzhan, there was nobody else that she wanted to see again the most.

Guo Yun, however, took this chance to point a finger towards himself and meaningfully said, "Me."

Adelle was shocked and blinked her eyes hard: "You?"

Guo Yun nodded self-righteously, "It has been quite a long time since we talked to each other like this. Don't you miss having someone to talk to?"

Ah... So, that's what he means.

Because she came from a foreign land and went with Ran Xueyi to live in the Flower Country, there were not a lot of people she knew and there were even less people she could talk to about her problems.

Ran Xueyi was there for her, of course, that is an irrevocable truth. But she was married and should focus on her family. So, Adelle would sometimes hold herself back when she wanted to say the things inside her mind.

It was only after she met Guo Yun and learned that they had some similarities in both personality and hobbies that she ended up opening up to him. He also taught her how to defend herself when there's danger.

So, in the end, Guo Yun received her trust quickly.

Adelle took his words in a different light and deeply nodded, "That's right. I also miss you."

BOOM!

Inside Guo Yun's head, red and pink fireworks started to explode up in the starry night sky. His heart was about to come out of his mouth from how fast it was beating.

Who would have thought that these simple words would actually make him so happy and satisfied?

He was on the verge of collapsing from being overwhelmed with the emotions he was feeling. To be honest, he didn't think that his love towards Adelle was this simple yet deep.

A smile from her could stop him from his steps, her voice would appear in his dreams, and her eyes when she looked at him was enough to give him a heart attack.

Calm down, my heart. You need to take things slowly.

Slowly, your ghost! Take this chance to kiss her!

Two little devils in the image of him whispered in his ears.

Guo Yun, who was not so inexperienced in relationships, had a taste of what it really meant to truly love someone!

On the other hand, Adelle didn't know that a battleground was happening inside Guo Yun's heart and brain as she thought of how to talk to Ran Xueyi about the Shi Yun and his manager.
