Time flew past quickly and by the time Ran Xueyi opened her eyes, the sun was already peeking out from the horizon. She stood up from the bed, changed out of her clothes and took a bath. When she was finished, her phone suddenly rang.
She walked to the bedside table and looked at who was calling her so early in the morning. It turned out to be Liu Ran, her real estate agent friend.
"Hello?" she answered softly.
Liu Ran's voice sounded from the other side of the call. He first greeted her and said, "Good morning, dear. I called you because I wanted to tell you that your new home is ready for you to burrow in it. The necessary things are also fixed and down so you don't have to worry about anything else. As for security, your family won't be able to enter the place without you saying so. And as per your request, I changed out all the furniture and chose only the things that suit your taste."
Ran Xueyi listened without interrupting him. After a while, she said her thanks to him and sent him an extra fee for his effort before hanging up.
Looking around the room, Ran Xueyi felt a bit reluctant to leave this place which she had stayed at for several days. However, as things were getting a bit more dangerous for her to stay in the city, she couldn't waste time any longer and stayed in the city.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ran Xueyi stared at her husband's contact number for a long time before she finally pressed to call him.
However, what answered her was the monotonous line saying that the number was currently out of reach so she hung up and decided to call him again after she arrived in the Imperial Capital.
After changing and putting on a light makeup, Ran Xueyi went downstairs and saw Aunt Shu, who had just finished putting the last dish on the dining table.
"Come, let's eat," Aunt Shu told her.
After the two had their scrumptious meal, Ran Xueyi told Aunt Shu that she was moving to Imperial Capital.
Aunt Shu was extremely shocked at her words and said in alarm, "Miss Ran, are you perhaps dissatisfied with Xiao Han? Did he make a mistake and made you upset? Don't worry, I'll call him now and scold him for you so he could ask for forgiveness. So, please don't move out."
Ran Xueyi couldn't stop the old lady's fast shooter mouth and everything was said in just a few seconds. She looked at the old lady, who looked as if she (RX) was moving out of the country, and wanted to laugh.
She patted Aunt Shu's hand on the table and said, "I'm not upset with him. I already bought a house and lot in the capital before marrying Song Yu Han. Just this morning, I was notified that I could move there as soon as possible."
"The capital? The Song family has several houses and land there. Why would you need to buy one? You could just ask the young master and he will readily give you the land deeds." Aunt Shu frowned.
Ran Xueyi stared at the old lady. Aunt Shu didn't know that she and Song Yu Han only married out of impulsiveness. True, they shared a kiss or two, however, that didn't change that their marriage lacked any feelings for each other and intended to use each other for their own advantages. Basically, they didn't marry for love or anything like that. Instead, their marriage was just a contract marriage between two strangers.
Ran Xueyi didn't believe that Song Yu Han quickly fell for her. That man might seem kind and compassionate, but she could see through his eyes that the surface might not be as warm as he appeared. He was a ruthless man capable of making anyone from the big and elite families in the capital bow their heads at him and make way for him when they saw him.
Falling in love must be the least thing he could do. And it was the same for Ran Xueyi, who had just been ruined by that thing called 'love'.
Ran Xueyi saw how worried Aunt Shu looked and reassuringly said, "I have some things to do in the capital and wanted to start as an actress again. If people were to find out that I'm living with a man, things might be a bit troublesome for Song Yu Han and for me."
"But, what is so wrong with you living with your husband? You two are married and there are several actresses and actors who are already married and still could act," Aunt Shu didn't want to let this good young lady go. She was the perfect woman for the young master.
"That's because they're already popular and have fans supporting them. As for me, I am just an actress coming back to the scene and my fans might still be doubting if they wanted to turn to me again." Ran Xueyi explained.
She didn't lie. Ran Xueyi's situation might be simple and easy to resolve by just simply announcing she was married and no one could say anything if she lived with her husband. However, it would only be okay if she was still as popular as she was back then. Now that she was losing the decade-long fame she established for herself, it was unknown how long she could stay in the entertainment industry without destroying her reputation.
Ran Xueyi didn't care about what other people say, but as an artist and someone who had ambitions, having people talk bad about her and her husband as well as people tarnishing their reputation was not something she would allow.
Now that she and Song Yu Han were a couple, what they did and said would heavily reflect on themselves.
