Chapter 900 ·Being Followed

Chen Fan had always felt indebted to Wen Wan.

In this lifetime, he would never be able to marry Wen Wan.

Although Chen Fan had never made any substantial promises to Wen Wan.

And faced with such a gentle woman's undisguised admiration.

Even though Wen Wan had now become one of the country's top actress superstars, her feelings for Chen Fan hadn't diminished at all, but instead grew more dependent.

For such a small request from her, Chen Fan felt it would be quite inhuman to refuse.

Wen Wan also understood Chen Fan's feelings, that his sense of indebtedness outweighed love.

However, after the last public opinion incident, Wen Wan had come to terms with it herself.

She no longer pursued Chen Fan's answers or promises.

Life is just a few short autumns.

Why must there be an answer?

Being able to see Chen Fan like this, occasionally sharing a meal together.

Standing by his side, witnessing his struggles, efforts, smiles, and success...

She felt quite content with that.

So, during this meal, they both tactfully avoided the topic of feelings.

This actually made the meal more relaxed, like returning to those days when they lived together in the faculty apartments.

After dinner, Wen Wan stopped Chen Fan, and instead put on the apron herself to wash the dishes in the kitchen.

Chen Fan smoked a cigarette on the balcony.

When he turned around, Wen Wan had already finished cleaning and was sitting on the sofa making tea.

"Can I stay here tonight?"

Wen Wan looked up at Chen Fan and asked.

Chen Fan nodded: "You can. I'll give you a key later, you can come stay anytime in the future."

"But it's best to keep it confidential, don't let the paparazzi find out."

Wen Wan smiled and nodded, she certainly knew to keep her whereabouts secret, otherwise once this place was exposed, the next time she wanted to meet Chen Fan, they'd probably have to buy another house.

Chen Fan came over and sat down, Wen Wan handed him a cup of tea.

"I've read all the scripts you gave me."

"To be honest, I really like both the scripts for 《And the Spring Comes》 and 《Golden Marriage》. I even cried while reading them. How should I choose?"

Wen Wan smiled at Chen Fan: "I want to act in both, what should I do?"

Chen Fan shook his head: "That would be too exhausting. Pick one."

But Wen Wan stubbornly looked at Chen Fan: "I'm not afraid of being tired, I love working."

Chen Fan still shook his head: "Work never ends, and I can help you get better scripts in the future."

Hearing this, Wen Wan finally nodded.

"That's what you said, I'll remember it."

Chen Fan asked curiously: "So are you choosing the movie or the TV series?"

"I choose the TV series."

Wen Wan made her decision almost without any hesitation.

When she read the 《Golden Marriage》 script, she had secretly cried several times.

The love of ordinary people is the most touching.

While reading the script, she had fantasized several times about what if the protagonists were herself and Chen Fan, from their young love to their 50th wedding anniversary, spending a lifetime together, how wonderful that life would be.

So Wen Wan had a small wish, by acting in 《Golden Marriage》, since she couldn't marry Chen Fan in reality, she could at least experience what it would be like to love him for a lifetime in the drama.

Chen Fan looked at Wen Wan admiringly.

"Good eye, if I were to advise you, I would also suggest you choose 《Golden Marriage》."

"Although this is a TV series, the script is solid, and when it airs, it will definitely cause a sensation."

Wen Wan showed a hint of worry: "I'm just afraid I can't capture that feeling."

Chen Fan encouraged: "That's exactly why I picked these two scripts for you."

"You're already an award-winning actress now. The only thing critics fault you for is your acting skills."

"What you need most now is a film or TV series that can prove your acting ability."

"In 《Golden Marriage》, the main characters go from their young years all the way to becoming gray-haired elderly people, there's nothing that tests acting skills more than this."

"If you can act well in this drama, it will completely silence all critics."

"After that, you'll be a true accomplished actress."

Wen Wan looked at Chen Fan: "You have so much faith in me?"

Chen Fan nodded: "I do."

"I always thought you were wasting your talent as a teacher, you were born to be an actress."

Wen Wan felt a bit embarrassed by Chen Fan's praise.

"I'll definitely work hard to act well."

Chen Fan seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Oh right. Recently the company is planning to invest in a historical drama called 《Ming Dynasty in 1566》."

"I have high hopes for this drama, although it's a typical male-centered show, it would be a shame not to participate in such a good script."

"So I'll have someone send you the script later, you can play a female role in it, the screen time isn't much anyway."

Wen Wan hadn't heard of 《Ming Dynasty》, but she trusted Chen Fan's judgment.

"I'll follow your advice."

...

Underground parking garage.

Feng Pojun had stayed here without leaving.

He looked down at the time on his watch.

Feng Pojun was wondering if the boss would leave tonight.

Logically, with his current position in the company, he didn't need to come here as a driver anymore.

But Chen Fan still chose him, which represented absolute trust.

Feng Pojun certainly understood this point.

He was curious whether the boss would stay tonight.

If he chose to stay, it would mean the boss had fully accepted this actress.

No one understood the boss's private life better than Feng Pojun.

Recently, people in the company had been gossiping privately about the relationship between the boss and Wen Wan.

But in Feng Pojun's eyes, even if the boss accepted Wen Wan, she still couldn't affect Su Ruochu's position.

In the entire company, no one understood better than Feng Pojun about the boss's feelings for that girl Su Ruochu.

The boss, who was usually serious and decisive at work, showing maturity beyond his age, only smiled brightly and carefreely like a child when facing Su Ruochu.

So even if the boss took in Wen Wan, she would definitely only be a concubine.

Miss Su was the true empress.

Feng Pojun was thinking about these random thoughts with a cigarette in his mouth.

But then he glimpsed Chen Fan coming out of the elevator.

He didn't stay after all.

Feng Pojun quickly opened the door and got out of the car.

"Boss, Zhang Shun said he has safely sent Miss Wen's manager back."

"Mm."

Chen Fan sat in the car and instructed Feng Pojun.

"Thanks for your hard work tonight. After you drive out of the complex, you can take a taxi home, I'll drive myself home."

Feng Pojun quickly said: "I'm not tired, I'll drive you back."

Chen Fan smiled: "No need. I'm not some big celebrity, paparazzi won't keep following me. Don't worry, go home and rest early."

Only then did Feng Pojun start the car, looking at the boss through the rearview mirror.

He could be certain that nothing had happened between the boss and Miss Wen upstairs.

Although even if something had happened, it would have been normal.

But seeing the boss come down like this.

Feng Pojun felt even more admiration.

"Oh right, boss, about that matter you asked me to investigate in the capital, we only found out that the newspaper reporter took money from someone to write that article."

"But the reporter couldn't say clearly whose money it was, because he's just a paparazzi reporter, usually he would write any gossip as long as someone paid him..."

Chen Fan sat in the back seat, nodding slightly, actually he had already anticipated this.

"Boss, should I continue investigating, to find..."

"No need."

Chen Fan interrupted Feng Pojun's words.

"Actually I basically already guessed who did it."

"I just lacked concrete evidence before."

"Tell the people in the capital to come back. There's no need to continue investigating this matter."
