Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Ran Xueyi never wanted Little Zhanzhan to feel like he was abandoned just because they were buried with work. However, at the rate in which they are right now, it would be long before Little Zhanzhan realized how busy his parents were.

Although their son was extremely intelligent to understand them and their situation, Ran Xueyi still didn't want him to turn out like her when she was ignored by her parents as they focused on their own lives and focused on Ran Yue.

"Baby, where do you want to go? Mommy and daddy will go wherever you want to go!" Ran Xueyi will have to send a message to her senior and tell him to postpone their meeting until a much later date. For now, she needs to give more attention to her son.

"Really?"

The eyes of the little boy were shining quickly as if stars were starting to live in them.

"Yes, where do you want to go? Do you want anything?" Ran Xueyi nodded her head as she pressed close to the two.

Little Zhanzhan squinted his eyes and pouted his lips, a habit he newly formed when he was thinking of something. Then, after a short while of thinking, he finally said, "I want to go to the beach!"

…

The sun was scorching above, the wind was dry and hot, but nevertheless, it never dampens the mood of the beach goers. Looking at the public beach that Guo Yun had found in that short time, Ran Xueyi was pretty impressed to see that the sand was fine white and there were only a few people in there.

Song Yu Han and Guo Yun went back to the car to take the huge umbrella and other things that they had brought quickly in order to just have a real good time at the beach. As for Ran Xueyi and Adelle, the two looked after Little Zhanzhan, who turned into a puppy who finally got outside of the house, running and jumping around the sandy ground as if it was his new domain.

"I never thought he could smile like that."

Adelle turned and met her eyes.

"He only showed that kind of smile when we're alone. I'm glad that he can finally show it to other people."

Maybe because he was shy around other people or just uncomfortable, Little Zhanzhan refused to show even a bit of his beautiful smile when there's other people. Although it wasn't that hard for him to show it in front of her, Ran Xueyi still worried that he would grow up never expressing his emotions, bottling it up until he finally couldn't understand which emotion he had to show to others.

As an actress, Ran Xueyi was more conscious when it comes to emotions. Being able to show any kind of emotion according to the director's words and the script's guide, was a job that anyone in the entertainment circle should learn before being able to stand in front of the camera.

Even idols, comedians, and singers should restrain their real self and put on an impenetrable mask which they could only show in public so that their images wouldn't be ruined. If a crack happens to form in their mask, they have to glue it back forcefully or it will be their destruction.

However, her son was not an actor or anyone who was in the entertainment world. He is just a child. How can he act like them, veterans in the art of masking themselves, when he should just act like a child spoiled by his parents.

Time and time again, Ran Xueyi hated herself for being unable to notice this at first. She was too preoccupied with her own obsession of success and achieving her dreams, that her son was slowly becoming a puppet.

Thankfully, there was still time.

Ran Xueyi could still save her son from becoming a doll with no emotion by letting him do whatever he wanted while being spoiled by them.

"What is my schedule for this month?" Since it was the fourth day of the February, Ran Xueyi was thinking of finishing all her schedule and not accept any resources and stay with Little Zhanzhan.

Adelle opened her phone to see the notes she wrote and replied, "You have a photoshoot on the 7th of this month. I'm still waiting for your final decision whether to join the variety show I told you about last time. The first episode will be filmed on the 13th. And since you didn't join any drama or film team, your schedule this month should be free."

It was quite a shame that Ran Xueyi didn't join any drama or film. A lot of directors and films had reached out for her, however, Ran Xueyi only told them she'll think about it. Although these films and directors weren't desperate that they couldn't find any other actresses to play in their films, Ran Xueyi's traffic this year was so hot that no one could simply let go of this hot potato that was just in front of them.

With Ran Xueyi in their film, the traffic and feedback will also help in their success.

"Should I cancel the variety show?" Adelle also noticed that Ran Xueyi desired to spend more time with her son so she considered helping her take off some of her burdens.

Ran Xueyi shook her head, "I already signed the contract with them and since it's just a guest appearance, it wouldn't take long for it to be finished."

Besides, the variety show filming site was closer to where their villa was located in the capital. It would be great if she could bring Little Zhanzhan on the set and let him watch her work.

"Ah, can you call Director Fan and ask her when we'll be able to talk about the film again?" Ran Xueyi almost forgot that Director Xiao helped her get a resource from Director Fan. She hoped that that role was still available for her taking since she really liked that role.

Adelle quickly called Director Fan and after talking for a few minutes, she finally hung up and turned around with a frown.

"What's wrong?" Ran Xueyi felt strange when she saw Adelle's expression.

Adelle took a deep breath as if she was having she didn't know where to start. However, she needed to tell Ran Xueyi about what she and Director Fan talked about.

"Director Fan said she found another actress who will play the first lead role." Adelle waited for Ran Xueyi's response, but after not getting any, she continued, "It's really strange. When we met her at her office, she certainly said she'd love to have you play the lead role! Now, she's saying she found a better actress? Isn't this a bit too strange?! Could it be that someone stole your role?"

"Stole whose role?"

A voice as cold as ice was heard from behind them accompanied by a loud thump. When they turned around, it was Song Yu Han and Guo Yun, who had returned with their things.

Song Yu Han stepped a few steps forward and stood behind Ran Xueyi. He looked down and repeated his question, "Someone stole your role?"
