My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 429: The 0428th female star comes knocking (second update)_1

“Clearly, he’s upset that I didn’t go to his meeting last night,” Zhang Liyan said.

“I had heard before that this director is particularly lecherous, often exploiting female stars. Now that I see it for myself, he’s indeed not a good bird,” the female agent glared fiercely at the director and cursed, “At worst we’ll just not shoot, what’s the big deal.”

“This director, as lecherous as he is, is still very famous within the industry. If we pull out now, it’s a breach of contract, and we’d owe a lot of money. And I have high hopes for this film; it’s definitely going to be successful, which will facilitate my entry into the Korean market,” said Zhang Liyan.

“What should we do, just let him toy with us like this?” the female agent said bitterly.

“If he’s not satisfied with me, I’ll keep filming until he is,” Zhang Liyan said, then stood up and walked to the set, saying, “Director, we can start now.”

The director nodded and ordered everyone to prepare.

Zhang Liyan stood in the middle of the set, took a deep breath, and the image of a man appeared in her mind.

It was a man wearing a Yama mask.

These days, every night when Zhang Liyan went to sleep, she would dream of that man.

She was conquered by his martial skills, his personality, and his charm. She was very eager to see his face, but unfortunately, their parting was hurried, and she hadn’t learned his name, nor had she seen his face. It was the greatest regret of her life.

In her mind, she recalled the day when he had her exchange hostages, and after he had caught her as they fell, he drew a gun and took down several thugs.

His moves then were so stylish, so decisive, they could be described with just one word: cool.

In her mind, she went over his actions again and again.

At that moment, the director ordered: Begin.

Zhang Liyan leaped up, rolled several meters across the ground, picked up the gun on the floor, and fired several shots in succession. At this moment, she fully immersed herself in the man’s identity, even her facial expression was as resolute as his.

“Beautiful!”

After the shoot, the usually strict director jumped to his feet, clenched his fists tightly, extremely satisfied with her performance.

Zhang Liyan let out a sigh and walked out of the set.

“Yan Jie, your phone,” the female agent handed her the phone.

Zhang Liyan took the phone, “May I ask who this is?”

“Hello, I’m from the detective agency. The lady you asked us to look for, we’ve confirmed her identity. Her name is Xiao Fangfang, she is from Jiangnan and owns a company worth approximately…”

“You just need to tell me what her phone number is,” Zhang Liyan interrupted.

What she really wanted to find out was not about Xiao Fangfang, but the man wearing the King of Hell mask.

“Alright, we’ll send the phone number to your mobile right away, please check it.”

Soon, a message came through.

Zhang Liyan walked to a corner and dialed the number, and after a moment the call connected.

“Hello, who is this?” The familiar voice rang out, it was Xiao Fangfang.

“Hello, I am Zhang Liyan.”

“Zhang Liyan, who’s that… what, Zhang Liyan?” Xiao Fangfang realized, jumping up excitedly, and hurriedly said, “The big star, did you manage to find me an extra role?”

Zhang Liyan then remembered that last time Xiao Fangfang had asked her to find an opportunity for her to play an extra, and she had forgotten about it.

“Ahem, I’m still working on it,” Zhang Liyan replied awkwardly.

“As long as you remember. By the way, why are you looking for me?”

“It’s like this, the man with the mask from last time, he saved my life, and I’ve always wanted to find a chance to thank him. I was wondering if you could tell me who he is,” Zhang Liyan tried to keep her voice from sounding too excited.

“No need to thank him. Once you take off Ying Nan’s mask, that guy is just a bastard, nothing impressive,” Xiao Fangfang replied.

Uh!

“`

Zhang Liyan had never before heard someone talk about their lifesaver in such a manner.

However, this made her appear even more familiar with the man in the mask; if they weren’t close, she wouldn’t be able to make such a remark.

“Miss Fangfang, sorry to bother you, but I simply wished for something myself. Perhaps you don’t understand my personality, I can’t sleep if I owe someone a favor,” Zhang Liyan tried various methods to probe for information.

“I want an important role,” Xiao Fangfang stated her condition.

“If there’s a chance, I’ll try my best to arrange it,” Zhang Liyan could only agree.

“Look for the Capital City Daily on the 25th, the male lead in the front-page headline is him,” Xiao Fangfang revealed.

“Then thank you.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Liyan quickly ran to the rest area, where the newspapers of the day were kept.

Several supporting actresses were resting, and one of them was reading a newspaper. Zhang Liyan saw that it was indeed the front-page headline of the 25th.

“Young Master Ye of the Ye Family publicly kneels to propose. It’s over, it’s over, the prince charming of my dreams is already spoken for,” said one of the supporting actresses.

“Who is your prince charming, Zhong Youliang?”

“Zhong Youliang? What’s he compared to the great Young Master Ye of the Ye Family? He’s nothing,” the supporting actress retorted.

“Who is the great Young Master Ye of the Ye Family?”

“Ye Jun, of course. Have you heard about the jewelry robbery at Haitian Group? And a few days ago at the Su Family’s birthday celebration, he stood up and turned the tide for his girlfriend with his martial arts, it was insanely cool. Plus, his public marriage proposal to his girlfriend has totally mesmerized me. If I could marry him, I’d willingly live ten years less,” she gushed.

Zhang Liyan’s gaze fell upon the front-page headline of the newspaper…

…

Ye Xiong left the house early in the morning, planning to go to the market to buy some vegetables.

As soon as he stepped outside, he sharply realized he was being followed.

At first, he thought it was someone from the Beast Organization, but he soon discovered that his stalker was a woman, and her trailing skills were terribly poor.

The woman covered her face, not letting anyone see her true identity, continuing to follow behind.

Ye Xiong entered a large shopping mall and then vanished.

When the woman who was tracking him was foolishly unable to find anyone, he suddenly appeared in front of her, with the lightning-fast speed of a clap of thunder, he snatched off her face mask, eager to see who she really was.

“It’s you?”

Ye Xiong had not expected, in a million years, to find that the person tracking him turned out to be the jade-faced star, Zhang Liyan.

How did she find him?

And what exactly did she want by following him?

“Give it back to me.”

Zhang Liyan quickly snatched back her handkerchief and covered her face.

She was a top-line jade-faced star, and she had sneaked out this time; if she were discovered here, she would surely be surrounded and unable to leave.

It was only after she covered her face that Zhang Liyan’s eyes fell on Ye Xiong.

That day he was masked, and she couldn’t see his face. Unexpectedly, not only was his martial arts superb, he was also so handsome that she was instantly attracted.

“I’ve finally found you,” Zhang Liyan then said.

“Why are you looking for me?” Ye Xiong asked curiously.

“About the incident in Guangnan Province, I’ve always wanted to thank you in person,” Zhang Liyan stated.
