During this ti, ng Ran hadn’t contacted her again.
Zhou Yun was happy to eat her al in peace.
She actually loved to try all kinds of delicious food, but previously, due to financial constraints, she couldn’t eat whatever she wanted whenever she wanted. Sotis, if there was a particular restaurant she longed to visit, it took a lot of contemplation before she could afford to dine there once.
Now, even though she had money, her public figure status and ti constraints still prevented her from indulging in whatever eateries she fancied.
Especially now, as she was filming, she needed to watch her weight.
Zhou Yun looked at Zheng Xiaojue enjoying her al with gusto, with her mouth full of oil, and felt a heartfelt happiness.
Perhaps those who love to eat all share this sentint; seeing soone eating joyfully makes themselves feel happy too.
Compared to Zheng Xiaojue, Cao Jun, a robust man, ate with much more refinent.
Zhou Yun served herself a bowl of soup, reminding herself to sip it slowly with a spoon.
Zheng Xiaojue, with eyes wide open, asked, "Sister Xiao Yun, why do you drink soup so elegantly?"
Zhou Yun said, "Because this outfit is very expensive, I don’t want to spill on it."
Hearing this, Zheng Xiaojue looked down at her own clothes after a startled glance, then let out a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness I’m just wearing a sweatshirt."
Zhou Yun smiled.
It was at this mont that Zhou Yun’s phone rang.
Unexpectedly, ng Ran was on the line.
Zhou Yun was surprised and answered, "Hello?"
"Sister Xiao Yun," ng Ran’s voice carried a cautious plea, "are you still at Butterf?"
Zhou Yun replied, "Yes, what’s up?"
ng Ran asked, "Could I ask a favor of you? I really don’t know what to do..."
...
Zhou Yun and Zheng Xiaojue arrived at the entrance of the "Peach Blossom Brew" private room.
Sure enough, as ng Ran had ntioned, two n wearing duckbill caps stood at the door, both with caras hanging around their necks.
One of them was knocking on the door and saying, "ng Ran, stop hiding; we know there’s another man inside. There’s no use hiding."
"I advise you to open the door sooner. It doesn’t do you any good to lock yourself inside, what’s the point in dragging this out?"
Zhou Yun’s eyes widened in shock.
She couldn’t believe that paparazzi had the audacity to yell at the doorstep like this.
Zhou Yun and Zheng Xiaojue exchanged glances.
Zheng Xiaojue was still confused and asked in a low voice, "Eldest Sister Yun, what should we do next?"
Zhou Yun said, "Just follow in."
Zheng Xiaojue acknowledged with an "Oh."
Hands in her pockets, Zhou Yun walked towards the entrance of "Peach Blossom Brew," projecting an aura of unapproachability as she sauntered over.
"Who are you two? What are you doing standing here?" Zhou Yun jabbed a finger in front of the two paparazzi, her commanding presence as tall as one ter eighty.
The two paparazzi were startled by Zhou Yun’s approach, their eyes bulging as one of them stuttered, "Zhou... Zhou Yun, you..."
"What ’you’?" Zhou Yun’s face stern, "I just went to use the restroom, and I co back to see the two of you skulking around here. What are you up to? What’s your business here?"
The two paparazzi didn’t know how to respond.
They certainly couldn’t tell Zhou Yun that they were there to sneak photos.
"Are you with ng Ran?" the other man asked with a mix of surprise and suspicion.
Zhou Yun lifted her eyelids and retorted, "Otherwise?"
The two exchanged glances, bewildered.
Zhou Yun knocked on the door and said, "Xiao Ran, I’m back."
After a while, ng Ran opened the door from inside.
Before Zhou Yun entered, she turned to look at the two paparazzi and said, "Aren’t you leaving? Do you want to call security?"
The two paparazzi looked at each other again, bewildered.
A look of resignation crossed Zhou Yun’s eyes as she said to Zheng Xiaojue, "Xiaoju, go find the restaurant’s security and ask what these two an by lingering at the door of our private room."
Zheng Xiaojue imdiately responded, "Alright!"
"Wait, wait, wait, let’s talk this over!" The opposite party suddenly panicked.
Mainly because Zhou Yun’s calm and composed aura made them involuntarily doubt whether their own intelligence was wrong.
Their information said that ng Ran had a boyfriend and they were dining together at Butterfly tonight, they were even told the private room number.
Who knew that when they rushed over to confront, they would also run into Zhou Yun?
From the current situation, it seed the intelligence was incorrect.
Even if there was a man in ng Ran’s room today, taking a picture like this wouldn’t be ng Ran on a private date with a strange man.
Not capturing photos of a private date would significantly decrease the value.
In the end, the two still didn’t want to escalate the situation and, albeit reluctantly, left.
Zhou Yun and Zheng Xiaojue entered the private room.
ng Ran hastily shut the door and sighed with relief, looking at Zhou Yun apologetically.
Zhou Yun’s gaze swept around the room.
She noticed a familiar figure.
The photography assistant from "Warm Little Horse," Xu Caisheng.
Zhou Yun had seen pictures of ng Ran kissing him before.
But ng Ran was unaware that Zhou Yun knew about their relationship and sowhat embarrassingly stamred, "Sister Xiao Yun, thank you for coming to help. If they had taken pictures of and him, who knows what kind of rumors they would spread."
"Spread rumors?" Zhou Yun looked at Xu Caisheng with a smile that was not quite a smile.
The young and handso boy sat on the chair, his cheeks flushed as if he was feeling sowhat embarrassed, shy.
"He’s Xu Caisheng," ng Ran attempted to introduce him to Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun raised her hand, indicating that ng Ran didn’t need to continue.
"I know him, I’m aware," said Zhou Yun, "our film’s photography assistant."
Xu Caisheng looked at Zhou Yun with surprise.
Zhou Yun continued, "I also know that you two are a couple and that tonight you have likely co here for a secret date, avoiding others."
Upon hearing this, ng Ran’s face turned ashen, and as she started to speak, "Sister Xiao Yun—"
Zhou Yun cut her off bluntly, "No need to explain, and there’s no need to tell you’re just friends. All these words are unnecessary, I’ve seen you two kissing on set, I know what your relationship is."
One could imagine the look on ng Ran’s face.
She and Xu Caisheng were like being struck by lightning, utterly at a loss, unable to utter a word.
Zhou Yun asked, "ng Ran, I suggest you contact your agent right away to make preparations."
"No, I can’t," ng Ran shook her head, her eyes reddening, "They won’t allow to date. Sister Xiao Yun, please keep this a secret for . If my agent finds out, they won’t let see him again."
Zhou Yun looked at her incredulously, asking, "Did you sneak out today without telling your agent?"
