“If I’m not mistaken, around half a month from now. You’ll have to memorize your lines and perform well.”
Yang Haoran had seen the original Song Ci’s scenes before. He felt that she was not very good. Hence, he asked tactfully, “Song Ci, I can hire an acting coach for you. What do you think?”
Song Ci understood where Yang Haoran was coming from. However, she wanted to succeed with her own efforts.
“Thank you, but I can figure things out myself.”
“Alright.”
It was normal for young actresses to be prideful. Perhaps Song Ci would be more willing to listen after being criticized and corrected by the director. Besides, her role was not very demanding. Everything should be fine.
Yang Haoran thought so and did not say anything more.
Song Ci did not immediately study the script. There was something more important that she had to do. She knocked on the door of Lu Gan’s study room.
“Shall we go for a check-up?”
Song Ci looked at Lu Gan impatiently. The latter was speechless. His wife would not let go of this matter!
In the end, Lu Gan could only reply helplessly, “I’ve already asked Huang Hao to make an appointment with the doctor. We’ll go tomorrow morning.”
Song Ci was pleasantly surprised.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Song Ci was satisfied.
“By the way, I have passed the audition!”
Lu Gan was a little shocked.
Was Song Ci leaving soon? Were the good days coming to an end?
“When will you officially join the crew?”
“In half a month.”
Song Ci narrowed her eyes.
Lu Gan felt that everything was happening too quickly. Despite that, he had a gentle expression on his face.
“Congratulations. Where will you be shooting? In a studio?”
Song Ci smiled and said, “Yes. The filming studio built by the production team is nearby. Whenever I’m not busy, I’ll come back to pay a visit.”
Upon hearing that, Lu Gan instantly felt rejuvenated.
“Really?”
“Really. It’s a modern drama so filming is quite convenient.”
Lu Gan quickly noticed that something was amiss. Even if it was a modern drama, filming so closely was too much of a coincidence. He could not help but ask, “Did you specifically choose roles that will be filmed close to home?”
Song Ci had nothing to hide.
“Yes. That was my request to Yang Haoran. We just got married and Yujin is still young. I don’t want to be too far away.”
Lu Gan stayed silent. He hoped Song Ci would remain by his side, but that would affect her career growth. After a while, he looked at Song Ci and said, “You didn’t have to do this. I can take care of Yujin and Little Suo. Don’t sacrifice your career because of me…”
Song Ci sat beside him.
“Why are you worried? I know what I’m doing. The film is an adaptation of a popular novel and already has a fanbase. As long as I act well, things will be fine.”
She continued, “I’ll always prioritize you and Yujin. Besides, the love you give him is different from mine. No matter what, I want to be by Yujin’s side till he grows up. Don’t worry. The role I’ve gotten is really good.”
After listening to her words, Lu Gan finally nodded. He had never been so sensitive before.
Song Ci was a responsible person. She loved Song Yujin and wanted to ensure he would grow up in a safe environment. Even if Lu Gan was not injured, she would still choose to work nearby. Everything was her own choice.
