Mo Yancheng and Gu Ran went to the hall downstairs. They had only just sat down when the female celebrity Ma Yunyun arrived.
The moment her eyes landed on Mo Yancheng, her hand flew to her mouth in shock. Excitement caused redness to rim around her eyes, and she jogged over to him with enthusiasm. "Movie King, I am your most loyal and biggest fan! I entered the industry because of you!"
Mo Yancheng only gave her a cool, unaffected glance at her words. His expression remained neutral..
Yes, it made sense. He must have seen countless fans with similar attitudes to Ma Yunyun over the years he spent working in this industry. If he responded to each one of them with the same degree of enthusiasm, Mo Yancheng would be beyond exhausted by the effort.
"Um, can I sit down?"
Even as she asked the question, Ma Yunyun had already walked over to Mo Yancheng's side of the sofa. Upon seeing Gu Ran sitting there, her face broke into a graceful smile, and she asked, "Is it possible if we exchanged seats and let me sit there?"
Ma Yunyun was a third or fourth tier celebrity, after all, and deep down she believed that she was definitely more important that a thirty-eighth tier celebrity like Gu Ran. She was moreover in front of a camera and live audience. There was no way Gu Ran would dare make her unhappy.
But Gu Ran just sat there, as if she did not hear Ma Yunyun speak, and she did not move an inch.
Ma Yunyun did not look happy. "I said, I want to sit here."
After a long while, Gu Ran looked up at her expressionlessly. "Are you talking to me?"
Ma Yunyun :"…"
"Obviously!"
A nobody like Gu Ran was obviously sent in by the production crew as a filler to serve them, so Ma Yunyun did not bother to sweeten her words and mannerisms for her.
After all, everyone knew that Gu Ran was covered in scandals and blackmail. Netizens would be glad to see her put her in her rightful place.
"How would I know?" Gu Ran sneered. "Your address included neither name nor surname, and for a moment I thought you had some extraordinary power to communicate with our new friend Mr. Floaty over here!"
Ma Yunyun: "You!"
"However, since you made it clear that you're talking to me, let me tell you, I'm unwilling to give it up to you." Gu Ran crossed her arms and did not deign to even look at Ma Yunyun.
Ma Yunyun took a deep breath and tried to regain her composure as a classy and elegant female celebrity in front of the camera. "So sorry, I got a little excited just now and forgot myself. May I please trouble you to exchange seats with me?"
"Old, weak, sick or pregnant, which one are you exactly?" Gu Ran questioned, sparing her a sideways glance.
In other words, there was no need for her to swap seats with Ma Yunyun.
Ma Yunyun was furious, but Mo Yancheng had been watching the whole exchange. She could not let a thirty-eighth tier nobody bully her like this!
"I'm a fan of the Movie King. I want to sit with him. Can I trouble you to fulfill my heartfelt wish?" Ma Yunyun said through gritted teeth.
This time, Gu Ran directed her gaze directly at Mo Yancheng. "Do you want to sit with her?"
Mo Yancheng did not even bother lifting his eyelids before rejecting coldly, "No.""
Ma Yunyun :"…"
Since Mo Yancheng had spoken, Ma Yunyun did not dare to make a sound of opposition even if she was brimming with dissatisfaction. She could only dejectedly move to the opposite seat as she cursed Gu Ran a thousand times over in her heart.
The third guest to come down was a second tier actress, Liao Ping.
Like Ma Yunyun, she too wanted to sit beside Mo Yancheng, but was similarly rejected by Gu Ran.
However, Liao Ping was much more mature than Ma Yunyun. After being rejected, she remained expressionless and even rejected Ma Yunyun's proffered seat next to her. Instead, she moved to seat directly behind Ma Yunyun, and smiled. "Sitting in order feels pretty good, actually."
With just one sentence, she had resolved the awkwardness.
The fourth person to come down was an acting veteran. He was also the most experienced actor amongst all the guests. He was Mr Yan Hao.
