Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078: Can’t Just Kiss Randomly

"Wait here for me a moment, I’ll just have a few words and be right back."

With that, Yang Lan headed toward the director. Seeing Yang Lan return, the director immediately paused his conversation with Zeng Yi and greeted her.

Shen Mianmian couldn’t hear what Yang Lan and the director were discussing from her distant spot; all she saw was the director’s troubled expression shift as Yang Lan must have said something humorous because the director suddenly laughed, then glanced in Shen Mianmian’s direction and nodded.

Zeng Yi also looked over at Shen Mianmian, appearing quite puzzled, then turned back as if to thank Yang Lan. Yang Lan waved it off and said her goodbyes to both men.

Yang Lan quickly walked back and said, "Let’s go! It’s settled, the director’s willing to give him an audition chance."

Shen Mianmian smiled and replied, "I knew it, Director Yang, your influence is strong; the director was sure to grant you that favor."

Yang Lan laughed heartily, "Mainly because you’re here, too. Otherwise, the director might really not have given me the favor. After all, the people Zeng Yi has offended have some serious clout. I actually think Zeng Yi is quite suitable for the role of the second male lead. If he puts in the effort, he might just land the part."

Although it had been several years since Shen Mianmian had acted, she was still well-known in the entertainment circle. If it hadn’t been for He Nan’s accident, coupled with Shen Mianmian getting pregnant, Shen Mianmian now would be a top-tier star, even more popular than Yang Xiaoxi.

Even without taking roles now, with the backing of the Ruan Family and the He Family, there weren’t many who dared to openly bully Shen Mianmian.

Anyone with some status knew who was behind Shen Mianmian, so naturally, the director would give her face.

"We’ve done our part; the rest is up to him!" Shen Mianmian looked back to see that Zeng Yi had already gone to makeup. The director seemed genuinely sincere, and since he’d presented Zeng Yi with the opportunity, if Zeng Yi truly fit the role, securing the role of the second male lead shouldn’t be hard.

As the two of them chatted, they arrived outside, where He Xiaobei was sitting in the car drinking a soda. Seeing them return, he immediately handed them drinks.

"Xiaobei, how did you know I was thirsty? I love you so much."

Yang Lan leaned in to kiss He Xiaobei, who pushed her away with his little hand.

"Auntie Yang, mind the influence. I’m not a three-year-old child anymore; you can’t just kiss me whenever."

This remark made Yang Lan laugh so hard she almost cried.

The two of them got in the car, and Yang Xiaoxi’s call came, "Where are you guys? I’m home, and there’s no one around! I’ve been out for over half a month, don’t you two care about me at all? You’re not even home waiting for me."

Yang Xiaoxi rattled on with her complaints, making her sound as if she’d been dumped by a jerk.

"We’ve just finished auditions; we’ll be home soon. You go ahead and take a shower and rest for a bit," Shen Mianmian laughed.

"Okay, fine, fine!"

Yang Xiaoxi hung up, kicked off her high heels, preparing to take a shower, but her phone rang again.

"Who is it now? So annoying."

Complaining, she picked up the phone and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips as she saw who was calling—an expression she herself didn’t notice. But when she answered the call, her tone turned hostile again.

"Cheng Feiyang, what do you want calling me if you’re not filming?"

"Aren’t you done filming and back in Beijing? Why do you sound like you’ve swallowed gunpowder?"

Cheng Feiyang asked good-naturedly.

Yang Xiaoxi retorted, "You’re the one who swallowed gunpowder. Out with it, why did you call?"
