“Mom, you said you didn’t mind the comments,” Shi Nian sighed. He felt his mother had double standards.

“That’s two different things. I’m just fighting fire with fire.”

Yun Nan giggled, “Mom, do you want to know more about Shi Xiu’s fan club?”

“What’s a fan club?” Xu Yun had never heard of it. “It’s an organized group of fans,” Yun Nan explained.

“Shi Xiu’s fans?”

“Yes.”

“Does she have a lot of fans?” Xu Yun carefully asked.

Yun Nan chuckled, “She has quite a lot of them.”

“I would like to know more about her fan club. What do you have planned?” Xu Yun inquired.

The best candidate came to Yun Nan’s mind. She suggested, “If you have time tomorrow, I can introduce you to Fang Xi and let her introduce you to Shi Xiu’s fan club.”

“Alright! I want to be my daughter’s fan and personally support her!” Xu Yun stated determinedly.

She then fiercely warned her son, “Shi Nian, watch yourself! You’re a married man; don’t you dare fool around with other women! Yun Nan, keep a close eye on him. If he dares to play around, I’ll get his dad to break his legs!”

Shi Nian gasped and glanced at Yun Nan, feeling quite exasperated. Yun Nan laughed and reassured Xu Yun, “Mom, don’t worry. Shi Nian already told me about it. I’ve already met her.”

Shi Nian raised his hand before Yun Nan to give her a thumbs up and said to Xu Yun, “Yun Nan was amazing! She absolutely crushed that woman; it was a total victory!”

Xu Yun was pleasantly surprised and asked Yun Nan, “Really? You did?”

Yun Nan smiled and nodded. Xu Yun was very pleased and stated, “That’s the spirit! Well done! We can’t let outsiders bully us!”

As always, Yun Nan left the Shi family house in a great mood. Unwittingly, she had completely integrated into the Shi family. In the car, Shi Nian looked at her blissful expression and couldn’t help but smile. ‘Looks like my plan to insinuate myselfinto her life is working,’ he thought. He had to take things slowly when dealing with people like Yun Nan, who protected their feelings under multiple layers.

“Are you still busy with the movie premiere?” he questioned. Yun Nan has been very busy recently. It had been a long time since he’d eaten the dinner she made.

Yun Nan shook her head. “No, I have a few meet-and-greets coming up. I’m also in the middle of discussing new scripts and projects. The place I lived in when I was young used to be a tourist area. It later declined because of the bad economy. Since parts of our movie were filmed there, the local municipal committee found me through my past neighbors and asked me if I was willing to go back and help them promote the area—film some clips and adverts and so on to boost the economy. I agreed.”

Yun Nan looked a little solemn. Shi Nian knew that place—whether it be the people or things that happened there—was very important to her.

“When do you plan to go over?” Shi Nian inquired.

“Next month. Help me ask Xiang Yang when she’ll hold her exhibition. I’ll set off after her exhibition. In the meantime, I’ll get everything else done first,” Yun Nan answered as she counted the time on her fingers.

Shi Nian nodded. “Okay. Chang Yuan is the one in charge of these things for Xiang Yang. I’ll get him to coordinate with you once he gets everything arranged.”

Yun Nan stretched in her seat and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I’ve been so busy recently I didn’t have time to cook. I’ll take time off work for a while after I return from my hometown and make it up to you! You can bring your friends home for dinner!”

Shi Nian smiled. “There’s no rush.” He didn’t mind missing a few of her meals. He had a lifetime to spare, after all.

“That place in your hometown… Does it need investment?” Shi Nian asked.

“Of course it does, but I’m not sure what industry it’s suitable for. However, the scenery there is beautiful; it has a quaint and antique charm.” A smile appeared on Yun Nan’s face when she mentioned her hometown.

Shi Nian especially loved Yun Nan when she was like this—she was warm all over. Yun Nan had many sides. When she was before the Yun family, she armed herself with indifference. Yun Nan actually did care about her blood relations because her adoptive parents cared. She was somewhat sad that she couldn’t get along with her family, but she was very clear-headed and wouldn’t compromise herself because of this. She always maintained her independence.

Yun Nan was very cunning when she faced Gu Man. She had a very solid understanding of human nature and saw through Lin Yu and Gu Man’s little tricks and deceits, but she didn’t expose them. She pulled her punches; she didn’t humiliate the girls—she gave them enough respect and enough warning. Those women were truly worthless and a joke before her.

However, Shi Nian felt a little upset. She was only so forthright before Gu Man because she hadn’t fallen in love with him. ‘Ifshe loved me, would she be more domineering?More genuine? he wondered.

He looked forward to her taking possession of him. Shi Nian facepalmed at the thought.. ‘ What kind ofstrange idea is that?!’
