Chapter 901: Unwarranted Confidence

Yan Huan hoisted her and set her down on the carpet to play by herself. She then sat down and took the call.

“What’s up, Luo Lin?”

Yan Huan sat down and passed her hand to the little girl, who nibbled on her fingers and turned to her brothers. The children began communicating through babbling.

Like caterpillars, the twins crawled beside their little sister. The older one claimed Yan Huan’s left leg while the younger one wrapped himself around her right. The center spot was reserved for their pretty little sister, of course.

Back in their mommy’s tummy, the twins had hogged all of the nutrients, causing her to be only 1.9 grams when she was born. Now, they finally learned how to be caring, and would reserve the best for their little sister.

Yan Huan picked up her daughter carefully and ensconced her in her lap. The little girl tucked at her clothes and put it into her mouth with the usual intrepidity of toddlers.

Yan Huan watched out for the two boys as she played with Xunxun and talked to Luo Lin.

“She renounced her role?” If Yan Huan had been drinking water, she would have spat it all out. “Tell me, Luo Lin. Where does this woman get her confidence?”

“No idea,” Luo Lin rolled her eyes. She wanted to know too. Where on earth did her unwarranted confidence come from?

Was she ever nominated as best rookie?

Nope.

Best supporting actress?

historical

Nope.

Best actress?

Not in a chance.

Even if she counts participation rate in major films as an achievement, she hadn’t acted nearly as many films as Su Muran. So where did this confidence and ego come from?

Did she really think that Lin Lang would have trouble finding a female lead without her? Luo Lin was certain that any actresses under Lin Lang were better than her in acting.

“I’ll handle the matters at Lin Lang and leave the Ye Family to you. All the better without the two of them,” said Luo Lin. She was more than eager to get rid of them.

“Weren’t you the one who invited them?” asked Yan Huan teasingly. She gave Little Xunxun’s face a slight pinch. Little Xunxun took it as a friendly gesture and broke into a smile, babbling excitedly.

Luo Lin sighed. “I was only after Lu Qin’s popularity. He’s not that famous, but still fairly well-known. As for Sun Yuhan... I didn’t want her at all, but what could I do when she had the Ye Family backing her up? To think she would give up the role on her own! I’ll have to strike while the iron is hot.”

“And how would you do that?” Yan Huan dipped her head and pecked Xunxun on her cheeks. The twins immediately showed their indignation at the unfair treatment.

Yan Huan had to give them a peck each to appease them. That’s when the nanny came in and took over.

Xunxun was tired, but she clutched her mother’s clothes tightly and refused to let anyone else hold her. Yan Huan had to carry her off to rest. This was their usual naptime, so it was no wonder that they were rubbing their eyes sleepily.

“Come down to the company tomorrow. We’ll be shooting the promotional pictures,” said Luo Lin with a smile. Of course, Yan Huan couldn’t see the gleam that flitted across her eyes.

“Sure,” said Yan Huan. Lu Jin and Lu Yi would be at home, and Old Master Lu would be coming over as well. With these many people at home, she could spare enough time for a shooting.

She had made the promise in order to get rid of Lu Qin, and she was a woman of her word.

She left early on the following morning, so that she could make it back in time before Xunxun wakes up and starts looking for her.

Everyone treasured the sole girl in the house. If she wasn’t so little, Old Master Lu would have brought her to his own house and cared for her himself. In comparison, Lu Qi and Lu Guang didn’t receive much love. Even their young brother—Little Lei—doted on Little Xunxun, always bringing her the best toys and tastiest snacks he could find. Unfortunately, Little Xunxun couldn’t eat any of his snacks because she didn’t have teeth. When the adults told him that, the stubborn Little Lei insisted that Little Xunxun can eat those when she grows up. The snacks would have expired by that time, of course.

When Yan Huan arrived, Luo Lin’s smile was so big that her eyes became narrow slits. Yan Huan had a bad feeling. Did she step into a trap?

But she didn’t notice anything wrong with Luo Lin during the shoot, except that there was something sly about her smiles.

Yan Huan checked the time. It was about time she headed home. Ever since she became a mother, all that was on her mind was her children. She even forgot about Lu Yi. She was anxious to see her babies again, especially after being apart for this long.

“Bye~” Luo Lin waved and smiled as she left.

Yan Huan narrowed her eyes. She sensed something odd about Luo Lin’s smile, but left without asking any questions.

“Did she not ask anything about it?” asked the assistant dully when Yan Huan’s off.

“Not at all,” Luo Lin wagged the pen in her hand. “Can’t help it. Pregnancy makes a woman stupid.”

“Wouldn’t she back out when she finds out?” asked the assistant worriedly. No one would be happy to walk into such a trap.

“Trust me, she won’t,” Luo Lin tossed the pen away. She was certain of that. Lin Lang belonged to Yan Huan, and she wouldn’t leave a mess no matter how much she resisted the plan.

“But what if she puts up a half-arsed performance?” asked the assistant. “As a form of silent protest.”

“I assure you that will never happen.” Luo Lin had no doubts in Yan Huan’s work ethics. Even if Yan Huan didn’t like the plan, she would put in a hundred percent effort when the time comes. Lying to others was lying to herself, and Yan Huan’s principles wouldn’t allow that to happen.

One thing Luo Lin had to worry about, though, was getting strangled by Yan Huan.

Sun Yuhan was dressed in luxury goods when she arrived at Lin Lang again. She looked every bit a rich woman. She marched in, looking straight with her arms folded at her chest.
