258: Lobo

Lobo

Soon, news traveled so fast that the top searches occupied by Ran Xueyi has reached 4 spots already.

#Snowrabbitnewpostonline.

#Whoisthatchild

#BeautyRabbit

#Estelle

Though it wasn't the first spot, her ranking still showed her popularity and significance by taking the second to fifth spots. Moreover, Ran Xueyi seldom posted any new stories or pictures nowadays probably because she was too busy with filming. This led more people to become hungry and thirsty to get new contents from her.

[I thought Estelle would never post again. Thank goodness and I was blessed by her beauty before going to my ex's wedding.]

[Upstairs, I'm also depressed before but now I feel like I just got watered down by Ran Xueyi again. How long has it been since she last posted a photo of herself?]

[Keke, it should be around 4 month ago. She posted a status (Link post).]

[Wuuu~ Finally, I got to see her again. But can someone tell me who that child is?]

[Me too! I want to know who this child is. This child looks like Goddess Ran so much!]

[Maybe her younger brother?]

[Probably a relative.]

People continued to speculate while admiring the photos in Ran Xueyi's main official page.

The likes and shares it accumulated also reached a threshold that only a few superstars in Flower Country could achieve. However, only Ran Xueyi achieved this after an hour of posting, while on the other hand, other stars could only have it after a few days.

Ran Xueyi glanced at her phone ringing several times and guessed that Adelle saw her post. The agency she was signed under should also have seen it and tried to ask her why she did it.

Honestly, Ran Xueyi didn't know what possessed her to do it too. Before, she wanted to stay low-key and try not to rouse anyone's attention towards her. Of course, it was impossible seeing that she was an actress who was currently rising internationally. However, when she saw Xiao Zhanzhan's face crumbling and eyes dimming with disappointment, she couldn't keep herself from being indifferent about it.

Well, she could only blame her son's adorableness and charm winning her over and completely tearing her previous ideas of keeping a low profile a bit longer.

As for what would happen in the future... Ran Xueyi glanced outside where the tree stood tall, isolated from the rest of the trees standing around it. She watched this tree for almost three years. It stood tall and strong despite the many harsh and smooth weathers that passed, never bending nor breaking.

And just like that tree, Ran Xueyi wasn't confident of losing to any challenges that may come.

...

Days passed and the photoshoot finally decided to use the first theme that they decided on. Though it was a great theme to use and Ran Xueyi initially had no objections to it, it seems that a certain tiny giant was so jealous that he cried every time a child approached Ran Xueyi.

Ran Xueyi grabbed her temples and massaged them.

"Haa..."

In front of her was the tiny giant with a dark face. On her side, the photographer and brand stylist had a solemn expression on their faces as they tried so hard to keep calm and force down their laughter.

But Adelle, who had witnessed the tiny giant's temperamental and territorial attitude that he showed these past few days, couldn't hold on any longer.

"Hahahaha!" Adelle had to clutch her waist when she laughed. She even wiped the tears from her eyes as she found the situation extremely funny.

She now understood why Ran Xueyi no longer took her son to the set. It was because the Little Fairy will transform into a Little Giant who everyone should appease or else, chaos would befall them.

Nevertheless, whether the Little Fairy or Little Giant allowed Ran Xueyi to continue the photoshoot for the second theme was all up to Ran Xueyi. 

In the end, Ran Xueyi did the photoshoot for the second theme and a child actor was hired to pose with her. Of course, during the process of their photoshoot, the whole studio was enveloped with darkness and gloominess. 

Thankfully, Ran Xueyi quickly remedied the situation and showed the photos she posted a few days ago to Xiao Zhanzhan and he finally calmed down. 

"Mommy~ Where are we going?" Xiao Zhanzhan sat in the backseat with Ran Xueyi. 

"We're going somewhere nice. What do you want to eat?" 

"I want cake! Cake~ cake~." 

"Haha, I will get you one when we arrive." 

After saying this, she turned to Jian Yiling, who came with them and acted as their driver.

"Did the stuff with Erik go well?" asked Ran Xueyi. 

She hasn't seen Jian Yiling for the past several days after the party. She seemed to have disappeared and only reappeared today so it made Ran Xueyi really curious what happened to her. 

"Erik wanted to build a partnership with the Lobo Guild in order to solidify his power in the Alecan Group. I told him I cannot give him an immediate answer since I'm not the one who's in charge of it," Jian Yiling replied.

Ran Xueyi fell into deep contemplation. 

Jian Yiling glanced at her from the rearview mirror and chuckled, "What do you think? Should I reject the partnership or allow it?" 

"Why are you asking me?" 

"Then who should I ask? You're the Boss of the Lobo Guild, one of the biggest guilds in the world. You're the one Erik wanted, but it seems that rumor traveled to him that I am an acquaintance of the Boss of Lobo Guild and so, he approached me."

The Lobo Guild was an essential guild in the Underworld that only emerged three years ago. At first, it wasn't even a listed guild, but after taking several requests from other people, its prestige and name continued to spread around the Underworld. The requests they take from their clients were various types and never stick to one type of request. Escorts, Mercenary, Investigator, and even odd requests. 

As of now, Lobo Guild was greatly sought after by many bigshots from both the Underworld and Business World. 

And currently, the one and only Boss of the guild was none other than Ran Xueyi. 

However, nobody, aside from Jian Yiling, knew about this. 

"The Alecan Group is already tied to another guild like Lobo, the Treacherous, I'm not going to clash with another guild for Erik."

The Alecan and Treacherous have been supporting each other for two decades. Ran Xueyi couldn't see why Erik wanted to jump ship while the contract with the other guild still wasn't over.

"He's being threatened. He's the next head of the Alecan Family and many members of the family aren't satisfied with him. Last night, he suffered from assassination and barely survived if not because of the people I sent someone over to look after him."

Erik Alecan was too desperate to live. He can no longer trust anybody in his family and the Treacherous Guild, who swore that they would protect the head of the family. And so, he could only turn to another guild. 

Ran Xueyi still did not give her answer to this request. Erik's offer and request didn't appeal to her at all. His death or survival was not important to her unless he became a client. 

"Let's talk about this again later." 

She glanced at the child that fell asleep and had his head on her lap. 

A gente smile appeared on her lips.

"For now, let's go on a trip and buy a cake.

...

Around the same time. 

Lu Xian arrived at his parents' house and entered the living room where he found his mother and father sitting there with a grim expression. 

"What's wrong with you two?" Lu Xian sauntered over to them. 

Lu Xian's father waved him to let him come closer before pointing towards the pictures scattered on the coffee table.  0

"What's this?" asked Lu Xian before reacting belatedly, "Shit, don't tell me you're still looking for a woman for me to marry?!"

Lu Xian's Mother shook her head.

Upon seeing her shake her head, Lu Xian was relieved but he saw his mother gesturing for him to sit down. 

With a bit of hesitation, he still sat beside them and only then did his mother speak again.

Lu Xian's mother: "Xian'er, these women in the pictures are all outstanding women with clean and good backgrounds. They're also virtuous and their characters are great as well. Their family and these girls also has a great view in marriage."

Hearing this, Lu Xian shivered while thinking this was another blind date or marriage arrangement for him.

Grumbling, Lu Xian interrupted his mother, "Mom! I already told you I won't marry yet! I want to marry the person I like so you can't force this thing on me!"

"Who said this is for you?! Shameless child!"

"Ha? It's not for me?" Lu Xian scratched his head and narrowed his eyes. "Who did you want to set up a marriage with then?

"Your older cousin, Song Yu Han."
