Lin Nuan stood up. "I'm not as gullible as Song Yao! I suggest you pack your bags and start acting!"

  Cen Mo had now issued an order to restrict Cai Jingyao. She had finally managed to become a director after years of studying… and now she was forced to play a cameo role. And she had to pull so many strings just to get the job!

  Cai Jingyao did try returning to China to start her career there, but Cen Mo's people had placed tight restrictions on her. They didn't give her any opportunities to film at all!

  Even though Cai Jingyao received the Best Newcomer Award, no company wanted to hire her as a director!

  Cai Jingyao looked at Lin Nuan and said, "If you can find a way… I want to go back to China and start my career there. I heard you have an agency that your husband invested in. I want to join your agency as a director!"

  "Yo… this young lady sure talks big! Do you know how many directors try to join our agency in China?" Fang Yan rudely dissed her back out of nowhere.

  Cai Jingyao shot Fang Yan a sideways glance before looking at Lin Nuan again. "I believe you can do that?"

  Lin Nuan nodded. "I can. There's no problem with you wanting to join the agency. I'll give you the chance to try. However, Ms. Fang needs to be present for the evaluation—no back doors allowed. If you pass, you can stay. If not, leave!"

  Fang Yan immediately understood what Lin Nuan meant and said with a smile, "Good! She can come to the agency if she wants. I definitely won't let her stay!"

  Fang Yan just heard this young lady say loud and clear that she wanted Lin Nuan's status as Mrs. Fu. She would be dumb to keep someone like her at their agency!

  No matter how much talent this young lady possessed, Fang Yan wouldn't hire her!

  Cai Jingyao looked at Lin Nuan. "Lin Nuan, are you helping me or not?"

  Lin Nuan picked up the script beside her and simply smiled. "I've already given you the ticket. What… don't tell me I still have to force Ms. Fang to let you pass? That would be a second favor. I'm not in a position to help you, and I neither have the obligation… nor the affection of a friend to do so!"

  Earlier, Lin Nuan had made it very clear that their friendship was over.

  Cai Jingyao scoffed and nodded. "Great… just great! You win, Lin Nuan!"

  Cai Jingyao then stood up and walked out of the room…


  Cai Jingyao's assistant quickly followed her and tried to stop her. "Yao-jie… Yao-jie! The filming's about to start. Where are you going?"

  Cai Jingyao snatched her coat from her assistant's arm and put it on as she left the room, not saying a word.

  With Cai Jingyao gone, there was no one else to play the role of the rich heiress in today's first sequence. The director was frantic and regretted foolishly allowing her to make a cameo appearance in the movie!

  "Nainai… why don't you take on the role?" Fang Yan looked at You Nainai.

  You Nainai's eyes widened upon hearing that. Her face reddened, and she quickly waved her hands. "I… I can't do that!"

  "You can, you can! You have the aura of a female triad boss!" Fang Yan clapped and dragged You Nainai with her to go see the director.

  You Nainai was pretty and had a cold aura, but she had never acted before. That made things difficult for the director.

  Mu Taotao suggested from the side, "Why not have a fight scene? A real one. Sister Nainai can definitely do that!"

  "I can't!" You Nainai was seemingly frightened.

  "Sister Nainai, just treat this like a real fight. There's no need to hold back. Just fight seriously, and don't worry about the camera. You'll definitely do a great job!"

  The director was hesitant. That meant that he would have to change the script!

  Right now, it wasn't impossible to get another actress to play the cameo role, but that would cause a delay. Be it the venue rental or the upcoming schedule, the impact of such a thing would be huge!

  And time was money!

  After looking at You Nainai's figure and aura again and giving it some thought, the director bit the bullet and decided to change the script.

  The rich heiress' lines were all cut out. Lin Nuan would simply film the rich heiress with the pinhole camera in front of her chest, and the fight scene between the rich heiress and the assassin would follow.

  The director initially felt slightly uneasy when changing the script, but he became excited the moment he saw the fight scene between You Nainai and the assassin!

  You Nainai wore a silver V-neck dress with a thigh-high slit, and her hair was styled in an updo, causing her to give off a cold aura. She didn't hold back at all as she fought, allowing the fight scene to be hyper-realistic. You Nainai's actions and expressions were perfect, and the director was unwilling to overlook any part of the scene.

  Since You Nainai had no lines and just fought, she completed the scene in one take.

  The corners of Fang Yan's mouth subconsciously curved up as she stood beside the director. She knew that You Nainai had no intention of working in the entertainment industry, but she could become a female action star with her looks and skills.

  After all, there were very few female action stars both in China and overseas, and they weren't as pressured to act well.

  The scene didn't ask too much of Lin Nuan in terms of acting either, as the scenes involving the special forces soldiers were more important. She just had to act like she always did.

  As a result, Lin Nuan was done with the day's filming by noon. The highlights of the movie were acted out by the special forces soldiers. Hence, Lin Nuan could leave at any time…


  Lin Nuan originally wanted to call Fu Huai'an, but after giving it some thought, she decided it would be better to go back and surprise him instead. She packed her things and returned to the hotel with You Nainai.

  …


  The news of Cai Jingyao meeting Lin Nuan reached Cen Mo in no time. After hearing the news, Cen Mo waved his hand to signal his henchmen to leave the room. He then looked down and focused on washing strawberries for Song Yao.

  Song Yao started to especially like eating strawberries after she became pregnant. Cen Mo personally washed the strawberries, worried that other people wouldn't wash them thoroughly.

  A cigarette hung from the corner of his mouth as his eyes narrowed…


  Lin Nuan was smarter and more capable than Cen Mo thought!

  And Fu Huai'an was worried Lin Nuan would suffer in Morocco. If anything, Cen Mo felt that Lin Nuan wouldn't suffer at all.

  Cen Mo removed the cigarette from the corner of his mouth and extinguished it in the ashtray. After washing the strawberries, he soaked them in cold water before placing them on a plate. He was very meticulous, so much so that even the tops of the strawberries were removed.

  Song Yao watched a cartoon while curled up on the sofa and hugging a pillow. It was her favorite show… but Cen Mo saw that Song Yao had spaced out while watching TV.

  Cen Mo walked to the back of the couch and wrapped an arm around Song Yao's neck before placing a kiss on her cheek. "What are you thinking about?"

  Song Yao snapped out of her trance and smiled as she shook her head. "Nothing much…"

  "Are you bored? Do you want me to get Lin Nuan to come over and keep you company?"

  Cen Mo thought that if he got Lin Nuan to come over, he could fetch Tuan Tuan over as well, and the two of them could take the opportunity to bond.

  Song Yao looked at Cen Mo and replied hesitantly, "After we came home that day, I accidentally dropped Mom's diary when I was packing up some things. The combination lock on it is broken now!"

  Cen Mo thought Song Yao felt guilty about it and chuckled. "That's what you're worried about?"

  Song Yao nodded…


  Cen Mo reached out to flick Song Yao on the forehead with his finger before bringing a strawberry to her lips. "It's such a small matter, and yet you're worrying so much about it!"
