Chapter 56: 056 Public Confession

Old Master Fu’s gaze fell on Fu Xiaoxiao. He felt that Fu Hang was right. It was time for her to get married as she was of marriageable age.

As long as Fu Xiaoxiao got married and had a child, that child would possess the Fu family’s bloodline. As long as they nurtured the child, he would become the future of the Fu family once he grew up.

However, it would take more than twenty years to raise a child. Based on Fu Hang’s current abilities, the entire Fu family would probably be under Fu Hang’s control in twenty years.

Old Master Fu suddenly thought of the illegitimate child of his son, who was estranged from the family. He could not stand the thought of an illegitimate son, but there was no better way now.

The next morning, the production crew was filming Shen Yan and Lu Yan’s scene.

The director sat contentedly on his designated chair. The corners of his lips hooked up involuntarily as he watched Shen Yan and Lu Yan finish their scene. The more he watched Shen Yan, the more his satisfaction grew.

Among the younger generation of actors, Shen Yan’s acting skills could definitely be ranked first.

In the afternoon, Shen Yan realized that Lin Lan had yet to turn up at the set. Soon, she found out that Lin Lan had withdrawn from the shooting after asking one of the make-up artists. The new second female lead actress was a C-tier actress, Zhao Qian, who had good acting skills but kept a low profile.

During the afternoon shoot, Shen Yan went easy on her and was satisfied to see that Zhao Qian could keep up with her pace.

The filming went surprisingly well today. The director was so jovial that he called the entire crew over for dinner immediately.

After dinner, the group moved on to the KTV. Lu Yan and Shen Yan sat next to each other. Everyone was having a good time, and they started playing Truth or Dare.

The bottle of wine spun and pointed at Lu Yan. The smile on the director’s face grew wider. “Truth or dare?”

Lu Yan smiled warmly and responded, “Truth!”

The director chuckled and inquired cheekily, “Film Emperor Lu, do you have a girl that you like?”

As soon as he said this, everyone’s attention focused on Lu Yan.

Lu Yan’s gaze fell on Shen Yan, who was sitting beside him. Seeing that Shen Yan was also looking at him, he stated, “I like Shen Yan.”

The man’s clean and gentle voice reached Shen Yan’s ears. Shen Yan was stunned for a moment before she smiled and responded, “Teacher Lu, you’re making fun of me again.”

Then, she continued to pick up the bottle and handed it to Lu Yan, saying, “Hurry up and spin it!”

At this moment, the atmosphere within the KTV instantly quieted down. The karaoke song had long been paused by someone when the direction was asking Lu Yan a question.

Shen Yan noticed that the atmosphere turned extremely quiet. She swept her eyes at the crowd and saw that everyone was looking straight at her.

Seeing that Shen Yan was still in a daze, the director explained, “It’s the first time that Film Emperor Lu has ever confessed publicly!”

In the past, no matter who Lu Yan was filming with, he kept his work and private affairs separate. In addition, he refused to conduct any ambiguous actions, let alone take the initiative to confess in public.

Soon, the director noticed that something was not right in the room and quickly smiled. “Alright, Film Emperor Lu must be joking. Everyone, let’s not take it seriously.”

“I wasn’t joking.” Lu Yan’s phoenix eyes glanced at Shen Yan affectionately and added slowly, “I really like you, Shen Yan. Shen Yan, will you be my girlfriend?”

Shen Yan was still trying to move up the career ladder. Thus, she naturally did not want to be in a relationship. Besides, her mind was filled with ways to increase her capital.

However, there were too many people in this room. It was not appropriate for her to directly reject Lu Yan in public. She quickly smiled and changed the topic. “Teacher Lu must have gotten too deep into the drama’s character. I have to learn from Teacher Lu in the future!”

The director also understood the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly called for everyone to continue playing. He tried his best to ease the awkwardness from earlier.

Meanwhile, someone secretly posted the video of Lu Yan professing his love to Shen Yan onto social media, and instantly, the video of “Lu Yan Professing His Love in Public” became a hot topic.

Fu Hang had been paying attention to the situation on Shen Yan’s social media. His face instantly darkened when he saw the video of “Lu Yan Professing His Love in Public.” He ordered people to remove it from the trending searches immediately.

Lin Nan stood in front of Fu Hang’s desk with a document in his hand. After conveying Fu Hang’s order, he asked cautiously, “President Fu, do you want to visit the set?”

“Why would I do so?” Fu Hang pursed his lips tightly till it turned pale. “It’s not like I invested in it.”

“I heard that Old Master Jin cares a lot about the drama ‘Return of the Heroes’. Should we invest in it?” Lin Nan inquired boldly.

Fu Hang’s face was cold, but he remained silent.

Lin Nan knew that Fu Hang was not opposed to the idea, so he continued, “If this drama is well-produced, the potential audience for the movie, ‘God of War’ will definitely increase.”

“Well, how much investment do you think is appropriate?” Fu Hang’s well-defined fingers gently tapped on the table as he asked calmly.

“Thirty million dollars?” Lin Nan did a simple conversion and went on, “There should be a return of more than 100 million dollars if we invest this sum.”

“Okay, you can go and do it.” Fu Hang looked pensive and requested, “Get someone to prepare some milk tea and snacks for the visit tomorrow!”

Lin Nan had a bright smile on his face. He agreed and walked out sharply.

Incidentally, what Fu Hang did not know was that his good friend, Zhou Ye, had arrived at the hotel where Shen Yan was staying with 999 roses!

Zhou Ye leaned against his sports car. His eyebrows furrowed deeper, as he watched the video of Lu Yan’s confession on his phone.
