Chapter 348

What exactly were theyBefore she could think further, the softness on her chest was seized, and his kisses moved from her lips to her cheeks and neck. She finally found a second expression on his fac...Chapter 348

Tang Mandong and Warming returned from the restroom to find a waiter had already placed their ordered cocktails, pia coladas, on the table. Du Yueying was sitting beside them, sipping her pia colada with a smile as she waited for them.

The pia colada is a tropical drink with strong Spanish flavors that are rich and creamy, perfect for girls to enjoy.

Warming exchanged a glance with Tang Mandong and sat down. Warming initiated the conversation by greeting Du Yueying, who responded generously without showing any signs of anger. However, Tang Mandong clearly disliked her and asked bluntly, "Miss Du, did you have something specific to talk to us about"

"Nothing important, just chatting casually," she replied.

As Warming sipped her cocktail, a smile slowly spread across Du Yueying's eyes.

“What could we possibly chat about” Tang Mandong sneered coldly. Warming didn’t have much to say to Du Yueying and merely continued drinking her beverage on the side.

Du Yueying inquired with a laugh, "Is Miss Warming still upset about that matter from last time If so, I can offer my apologies again."

"Miss Du is too kind," Warming responded indifferently. Tang Mandong focused on drinking her beverage and wasn't interested in engaging further with Du Yueying. The group's gaze shifted to the nearby men playing golf.

Du Yueying’s eyes were filled with adoration as she spoke, "My brother is really amazing, isn’t he"

She didn’t know whom she was addressing; her gaze fixed only on Du Di. Tang Mandong and Warming kept their heads down while drinking and remained silent. Everyone knew that Du Di was outstanding, but Tan Shuwen and Su Ran were also not inferior to him—each person is a unique landscape.

It felt very awkward with the three of them together. Both Tang Mandong and Warming were rather quiet. After drinking for a while, they went off to play golf again. Du Yueying's gaze swept over Warming’s drink as she gave an icy snort.

Tang Mandong and Warming had played several rounds when Chen Xier arrived after wrapping up work; her assistant brought her along. To everyone's surprise, besides Chen Xier, Han Bi and Fang Liucheng, Gu Rui also showed up.

They entered together, so if one didn't know better, they might think these people had come here by appointment.

Tan Shuwen’s expression darkened when he saw Chen Xier arrive. His gaze swept over Gu Rui before tenderly taking Chen Xier's hand. Her hands were very cold, and Tan Shuwen was clearly displeased; just as he intended to ask Gu Rui about the situation, Chen Xier forced a smile and interrupted him with, "Shuwen, I’m not yet proficient at this. Could you come teach me"

Saying that, she pulled Tang Shuwen away. Gu Rui let out a cold laugh from behind.

Tang Mandong asked coldly, "Gu Rui, what did you say to my嫂子 (aunt-in-law)"

“What’s it got to do with you” Gu Rui smiled back and asked. Tang Mandong restrained her urge to slap him and went to look for Tang Shuwen and Chen Xueru.

Nuan Ran smiled and nodded at Fang Liucheng, who seemed surprised, "Are you also here at Green Light Golf Course to play golf"

“Yes, what a coincidence,” Nuan Ran smiled faintly and looked over at Han Bi. It was truly bustling today at Green Light with so many bigwigs coming to play golf there; it's rare for everyone to gather in one place.

Han Bi said smilingly, "I heard that the filming of 'Liang Hongyu' has ended, congratulations, Miss Wen."

“My schedule is complete. I also heard that ‘Beauty’ is almost done as well, so congrats to you too, Miss Han.” Nuan Ran smiled and said politely before walking away.

Han Bi glanced at Du Yueying who was drinking a beverage nearby and quickly diverted her gaze.

Fang Liucheng asked Gu Rui, "Did you know that they would be here at Green Light"

Originally, they were members of another golf course and rarely came to Green Light. It happened by coincidence today as they all agreed to play golf together, just in time for the discussion regarding their next project contract. Han Bi had suddenly mentioned how good Green Light was and invited them over there too; Fang Liucheng usually didn't refuse a lady's request, but he hadn't expected to run into Nuan Ran here.

It had been quite some time since they last met. He often went to the Wen family residence but never encountered her, as his mother-in-law mentioned that she was very busy with work and rarely came home, not to mention now she lived with Ye Feimo.

The only times he saw her were on TV, in magazines, or newspapers...

She treated him with courtesy and politeness yet maintained a distance.

Fang Liucheng felt somewhat melancholic.

"I didn’t know. I just played golf at Green Light the other day and thought to bring you along as well. It’s not a big deal if we run into each other, after all, there's such a large area in a golf course," Han Bi shrugged her shoulders.

Tang Shuwen held Chen Xueru's hand; her constitution tended to be cold, but it was now the peak of summer... He frowned. Chen Xueru stroked away the wrinkles between his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "There’s nothing wrong, don’t frown like that, you’ll look old."

"We all will end up looking old sooner or later," Tang Shuwen turned his head to kiss her lips.

Su Ran was wailing beside them, "Boss, stop being so affectionate and not provoking me, a lonely person! Du Di, we shouldn't pay attention to him. He forgets about his friends once he has a wife; let's hit the table together."

Tang Shuwu couldn’t wait for them to leave so that he could teach Chen Xueru personally.

Tang Mandong and Wenran went over to mingle with Du Di and Su Ran, but they were smart enough not to disturb the couple.

Du Yueying saw Du Di and Wenran approaching, almost crushing her wine glass in her hand. She then slowly let go of it, revealing an ambiguous smile—soon this detestable woman would be in a miserable situation without Ye Feimo's protection; she could hardly wait to see what she would do.

Han Bi had played several rounds with Fang Liucheng and Gu Rui before making her way over to Du Yueying, using the excuse of going to the restroom. She had put in a lot of effort to overcome her phobia, but it was still too powerful for her to control.

Han Bi walked up to Du Yueying and sat down beside her without emotion and asked, "What do you want me to do"

Wenran kept feeling like someone’s eyes were on the back of her neck, making her very uncomfortable. But when she turned around, no one was there. She felt terrible; being already poor at playing, her mind wasn’t focused either. Her performance was absolutely awful and Su Ran was merciless in his criticism. Even Tang Mandong couldn't bear to watch her bad skills; only Du Di continued smiling at her.

Tang Mandong and Su Ran gave up on her and paired her with Du Di, but she still felt uneasy—maybe it was because of the sun. She felt dizzy.

Du Di suggested that she take a rest. Wenran saw that the lounge only had Du Yueying in it, so she firmly shook her head; Du Di smiled knowingly and said, "My parents indulge Yueying, so she’s always spoiled; don’t mind her."

"It’s okay. By the way, how come you call them 'parents' It sounds strange," Wenran joked.

Du Di replied, "Parents or mom and dad—whichever suits you is fine. A name doesn't matter."

Wenran nodded in agreement; she had been playing the roles of women who called their parents that for two films and a TV drama, so it wasn’t unusual to call them 'mom' and 'dad'. Once when talking on the phone with Mom Wen, she accidentally called her mom instead of mother, shocking Mom Wen.

The group played until evening. Su Ran had some business to attend to early on and left; Tang Shuwen invited Chen Xueru for a candlelit dinner. Tang Mandong was going to see off Wenran but Fang Liucheng came looking for her to discuss collaboration.

Warm raised an eyebrow, "Brother Liu Cheng, what kind of cooperation"

The matters concerning the cooperation were all handled by Cai Xiaojing.

Fang Liucheng smiled and said, "After 'Beauty', I plan to produce a film set in Republican China. Han Bi is very interested; the story revolves around two female protagonists who are both friends and rivals. One of them fits Han Bi perfectly, while the other... Han Bi suggested that you could try for it as well. From her tone, she seems to want to compete with you on stage. Are you interested It's quite a challenge."

Warm was surprised; would she be co-starring in a movie alongside Han Bi

Han Bi recommended it

This really shocked her because she believed that Han Bi definitely wouldn't want to see her succeed.

Han Bi walked over, elegant and imposing. "Are you willing to take up this challenge"

Warm smiled gently and said softly, "There's no question of daring or not daring, only wanting or not wanting. To work with you is my honor."

Han Bi shrugged her shoulders and replied, "Then it’s simple. Let's talk while we eat."

"But..." Warm was puzzled; as an actor for Anning Pictures, the chances of working with Fang Liucheng on a film not produced by Huayun would be slim. However, Fang Liucheng smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'll solely fund this production without Huayun's involvement. As for your contract issue, I’ll negotiate with Gu Xiaobei; there won’t be any problems."

Warm pursed her lips in thought. If she could shoot Fang Liucheng’s film, which would likely take place at Jingde Film City (a setting common to Republican China period dramas), she could drop the film she liked and avoid going to Paris for months.

No matter how you look at it, the project proposed by Fang Liucheng offered more challenges in terms of production, crew, and co-starring actors.

She was looking forward to competing onscreen with Han Bi.

"Alright!" Warm agreed readily. She trusted Fang Liucheng and knew he wouldn't deceive her.

Tang Mandong also felt that it would be quite a spectacle if Warm collaborated with Han Bi, which could serve as an opportunity for growth for Warm. There was no real reason to object.

"Alright then, Warm, why don’t you ask your old driver to pick you up later and I'll head home."

"Okay!" week, Wenman had no trouble handling these kinds of questions.Initially, they all thought that she must have relied on someone's influence to get in and come from a powerful background, giving her a...
