Chapter 586: Chapter 586: The CEO’s Desperate Pursuit in the Flames of Regret

Wan Tianning saw Lin Yue, her eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth lifted. She wanted to walk over to him, but was afraid of causing a scene, so she held back her impulse, merely gazing at him.

After all, everyone was watching him, and no one would notice her unusual behavior.

However, unexpectedly, Lin Yue disregarded the crowd and walked straight towards her.

His eyes softened as he looked at her and greeted her, "Ningning."

Wan Tianning blushed at first, feeling a bit embarrassed, but she quickly composed herself.

Lin Yue reached out and held her hand, and she did not refuse.

Director Li Zhuo acted as if he didn’t see their intimacy, telling everyone, "Let’s take a break. President Lin is here, I’ll have a chat with him. President Lin is the biggest investor in our drama, our golden sponsor, we must extend our hospitality."

Upon hearing this, everyone let out an "oh," casting meaningful glances at Wan Tianning.

Director Li Zhuo quickly added, "You needn’t look at Mr. Wan, she came here on her own acting merit, nothing to do with our benefactor. You’ve all seen her dedication to acting during the shooting days, she’s a role model young actors should learn from. They are liked because they are excellent. If you want to find a good boyfriend, make yourself excellent first."

These words were specifically directed at the new female actors.

His gaze was practically a "hate iron for not becoming steel" look.

If the actresses didn’t improve their acting skills, with Director Li Zhuo’s temperament, they might be fired by tomorrow.

Wan Tianning was extremely moved, not expecting Director Li Zhuo to personally clarify things for her.

In fact, she was prepared for misunderstandings when Lin Yue came to her.

Since childhood, she had faced countless misunderstandings and was unaffected by others’ opinions.

However, being trusted and having someone explain things for her still made her very happy.

Returning to Director Li Zhuo’s tent, she immediately thanked him, "Director Li, thank you so much just now."

"I didn’t say much, nor did I do anything; I just spoke the truth," Director Li Zhuo replied.

Wan Tianning smiled, letting the matter rest.

She knew Director Li Zhuo wasn’t one to feign concern.

"President Lin, please sit down, it’s been a while. I was just thinking about when I could have a chat with you," Director Li Zhuo said to Lin Yue.

Lin Yue sat down, took out a box of good tea, and said, "I came to see you, didn’t I? This box is new tea, knowing you appreciate it, I brought it specifically."

"Bringing me tea is just an excuse, you’re really here to see your girlfriend!" Director Li Zhuo laughed heartily.

Lin Yue pursed his lips, but wrapped his arm around Wan Tianning’s waist, saying, "Not girlfriend, wife."

Wan Tianning blushed again, feeling shy and awkward.

Really now, why did he have to tell Director Li Zhuo about this too?

"Already married?" Director Li Zhuo was surprised.

Lin Yue said, "We’ve only gotten the marriage certificate so far, haven’t had the wedding yet. When we do, we hope you’ll grace us with your presence at our banquet."

Director Li Zhuo immediately responded, "Not only will I attend your banquet, but I also want to be your wedding officiant. You haven’t chosen one yet, right? Leave that position for me."

Wan Tianning was astonished.

She knew Director Li Zhuo always carried himself with dignity, never stooping to flatter people for money.

If Lin Yue was merely an investor, Director Li Zhuo wouldn’t try to curry favor with him.

Could it be that there’s more to their relationship?

Lin Yue nodded, "Rest assured, the officiant position is certainly reserved for you."

Director Li Zhuo was thrilled, laughed again, and they talked about other things as well.

However, Director Li Zhuo still made a point to praise Wan Tianning.

He said she had a talent for acting, born to excel in this industry.

Such praise made Wan Tianning quite embarrassed since normally in front of her, Director Li Zhuo wouldn’t shower her with such compliments.

Or rather, Director Li Zhuo probably never praised anyone like this.

He wasn’t simply trying to befriend Lin Yue, but treated him like a beloved junior, approvingly.

Going so far as to love the house and its crow, everything Lin Yue liked was seen as good.

"What’s your relationship with Director Li Zhuo? Did you know each other before?"

Returning from Director Li Zhuo’s place to their own, Wan Tianning immediately questioned Lin Yue.

Lin Yue spoke softly, "I did know Director Li Zhuo for quite a while. Shortly after I returned to the Lin Family, he came to see me. In fact, when I was abroad, he often came to see me too. He is a senior I deeply admire. The reason I didn’t tell you earlier was I didn’t want you to misunderstand. I did suggest to him to cast you, but ultimately, it was your talent that got you the role. His personality wouldn’t allow him to give face, even to close family, let alone me."

"I know that, Director Li Zhuo is always fair. But why is he so good to you?" Wan Tianning was still puzzled.

Lin Yue hesitated for a moment, then softly explained, "He... used to like my mother, pursued her, but unfortunately didn’t succeed, which has been a regret for him. Knowing I existed, he sought me out, hoping to offer some assistance."

"Wow, really? Is that why Director Li Zhuo never married, is it because of your mother?" Wan Tianning exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Yue shook his head, "I don’t know about that, he himself said it’s not because of my mother, just failed to find the right match to marry."

"Perhaps it really was for your mother, who’d have thought Director Li Zhuo was such an affectionate person. No wonder his films are so moving," Wan Tianning said, sighing.

Lin Yue said, "Keep this to yourself, it’s Director Li Zhuo’s personal matter."

"I know, am I that kind of gossipmonger?" Wan Tianning rolled her eyes.

However, neither she nor Lin Yue expected that after Lin Yue’s visit, the female actor who previously wasn’t committed to the role became even less willing to act.

When Director Li Zhuo told her to try again, she outright refused, saying she wouldn’t act anymore.

This wasn’t a big deal, as a few people quitting during a shoot happened often.

The assistant director immediately contacted backup actors.

Getting into Director Li Zhuo’s cast, many would wait willingly even as backups.

Once there was a chance, they’d naturally agree immediately, pack up, and come over.

But this female actor who wouldn’t act didn’t leave; instead, she rushed straight to Lin Yue to confess.

"President Lin, I like you. I fell in love at first sight when I saw your photo on Weibo. Now seeing you in person, I have to tell you that I like you."

Lin Yue, Wan Tianning: "..."

Everyone else was speechless, looking at her as if she were crazy.

Lan couldn’t help herself, she stood up and snapped at her, "Hey, get your facts straight, President Lin is our Mr. Wan’s boyfriend. Aren’t you embarrassed to confess to him in front of Mr. Wan?"
