Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

For five years, Fan Ning only wished within those five years was to hear those words from Bei Honglin. The two of them went to the same media university in the country, dreamed of becoming gold tier directors, and racking so much money that they could drown in it with their family.

After finding out that she was pregnant five years ago, Fan Ning only knew how excited she was to break the news to her lover, but before she could tell him of the new addition to their family, Bei Honglin had already packed his suitcase and left their apartment without a word. Fan Ning didn't even get to talk to him before he completely vanished.

It was only two years ago when Fan Ning finally saw him again. The lover who had left her was now standing beside an actress who had just won Best New Actress award in a small awarding ceremony in the country as her manager. She had only recently entered the Moonlight Entertainment at the same time and had little time to care about the man who had left her.

However, the gnawing desire to get what was hers once was still growing inside. And having a child didn't help erase it either. Rather she became more desperate to get his attention.

"Let's not talk about this..." Fan Ning was slightly uncomfortable. She knew she was making a mistake by coming here and meeting with her ex-lover privately. She should have taken her assistant with her.

Bei Honglin didn't let go of her hand and neither did Fan Ning try to get his hand off her. He could already tell that his tactics were working. Just a little push and this deal was sealed in stone.

"Ning, I know how hard it is to bring up a child. I heard our daughter is being bullied at school." At the mention of their daughter, Fan Ning's heart broke even more and she wanted to scream at him that the reason why this was happening was because he left her. But Fan Ning didn't have the heart to shout at him nor did she want to lose the familiar touch his hand was causing to her body.

"Ning... Give me a chance." Bei Honglin suddenly stood up and sat on the chair next to her. He held her hands and stared at her eyes, "I already talked to my company. I told them I'll leave the company to take care of our family. But they set a condition before I could do that. And that is to land a big production film for my artist."

Fan Ning could hear the nagging voice that said he was lying, that he was manipulating and tricking her. But his eyes and voice filled with affection and familiarity seemed to filter all her doubts away.

There was a short moment of silence before Fan Ning spoke: "Are you really going back to us?"

At her question, Bei Honglin's face was bright as he showed true joy. He jumped off his chair as he suddenly pulled her into his embrace. The micro camera was completely blocked by his sudden closeness.

Holding the phone that showed the clip, Guo Yun swiped his finger across the screen to stop the video from playing anymore. The next scene was already pretty obvious since the two had shared a passionate embrace. It wouldn't be a wonder if they also shared a kiss. Guo Yun's job did not include him watching people making out.

"I already investigated Bei Honglin's background before playing this video." Guo Yun didn't need Song Yu Han to ask him about Bei Honglin's information as he narrated, "Bei Honglin went from the same university as Fan Ning. They were lovers, but Bei Honglin was drowning with debts that came from his gambling habits. In order to escape his debtors, he left his pregnant lover and got help from one of his lovers to enter YunHua Entertainment where he became Li Na's manager."

Song Yu Han patiently listened to his narrative and tapped his fingers against the table. The rhythmic tapping of his fingers stopped after Guo Yun finished. Then, he said, "And after reuniting, the two fixed their personal issues between each other. What a beautiful story, isn't it? Two lovers separated by tragedy reunited. Unfortunately, one is an opportunistic bastard and the other a hopeless romantic."

Guo Yun had nothing to say to that. The fact that Song Yu Han's only response was to comment about how such a ridiculous event could happen and resulting in his wife's role being taken away, was not a good thing.

On the contrary, Guo Yun's heart flinched when he saw the corners of his boss's lips turning upwards. The trademark that showed just how much this situation had pissed Song Yu Han.

He had never thought that such a stupid thing could happen. It was even more dramatic to think that someone could use their personal and emotional story to take away what others should already have. Song Yu Han knew that actors and actresses could be replaced at any time, and in this situation, Ran Xueyi hadn't signed the contract, but it still pissed him off that someone had involved their personal issues and feelings to move their own judgment.

"And who is this actress named Li Na? Is someone backing her?" asked Song Yu Han.

Guo Yun also investigated the actress's background and replied, "The Li family is backing her. From what I've investigated, it seems that she's pretty talented in acting. A lot of directors are singing praises of her acting and she's quickly gaining popularity."

Song Yu Han frowned when he heard this. He knew who the Li family was. They were Cao Huiling's close confidant and Li Chang's wife was also her best friend.

"Uhm... Boss. Li Na is also the woman that the Old Patriarch Song tried to set you up on a blind date." Guo Yun was sure that Song Yu Han had already forgotten about this and so he reminded him of it.

At his words, Song Yu Han frowned and sternly said, "Don't mention this ever again."

He didn't actually remember every woman who had been set up with him on a blind date. His grandfather was desperate to tie him to a marriage with anyone at that time. Cao Huiling mostly recommended all of these women to the old patriarch. And Li Na must have been one of them. However, Song Yu Han eluded him as though he was a plague.

The Old Patriarch, however, didn't give up initially and kept sending women in his way until Song Yu Han decided to stay overseas.

"Then, how should we punish Director Fan?"

Song Yu Han looked back to the tent and said, "Monitor Director Fan's movement for now. Get everything you can use against her during the office inspection to demote her from her position as Chief Director. Also, place some people to observe Bei Honglin and that actress. I want to see if what's going on has something to do with my esteemed stepmother."

He was not a hundred percent sure that Cao Huiling has something to do with the sudden removal of Ran Xueyi from the cast. However, the sudden appearance of Bei Honglin was extremely suspicious. Besides, there's also the involvement of Li Na, the girl who was once pushed to him by his grandfather for a blind date.

Song Yu Han didn't want to take any chances and lose the only lead he could trace. It didn't matter to him if he was wrong to suspect that Cao Huiling had something to do with this matter. What he cared the most about was missing a chance to keep everything in order.

Ran Xueyi's path in the entertainment circle was going to be trekked by her. However, he wouldn't let other people become an obstacle in her journey just because they were connected by marriage.

That night, Song Yu Han called out outside the tent. However, it was Adelle who answered and told him that Ran Xueyi and Little Zhanzhan were already asleep.

Adelle opened the flaps and told him, "Do you want to come in? I can stay in the other tent and let you stay with them."

It didn't really matter where she would stay the night. It was only one night anyway and there was nothing going to happen if she stayed with the obedient and gentleman Guo Yun in the same tent. She also wanted to talk about their next training session with him.

Song Yu Han was tempted to accept her offer, but when he thought of how lovesick and bothered his special assistant had become just at the sight of this girl in her swimsuit, he didn't want to damage his assistant and good friend's mental and control capacity. And most importantly, he could relate with how Guo Yun would feel being in the same room with the woman you love.

And so, he rejected her offer and returned to their tent. Song Yu Han saw Guo Yun sitting with his back straight as he tapped his fingers on the tablet. He was working even late at night.

When Song Yu Han was closer to him, he patted his assistant's shoulder and said, "I'm sorry and I'll help you get another opportunity later."

Guo Yun, who was talking to one of his squad about their new mission: ".....?"
