LTPC Chapter 46: Passionately in Love

Gu Tingchuan’s appearance caused the originally harmonious atmosphere to immediately become tense. Those agents and actors straightened and dared not to even breathe as they watched his face. 

Director Gu himself turned a blind eye to these. Although he recently raised some protestations about Yao Juan, he was not a man who would indiscriminately eat vinegar. At this moment, he only gave them a cursory glance before fixing his gaze on Yi Ran. His voice was inconceivably gentle as he said, “When did you arrive?”

Yi Ran smiled slightly. “Just a little while ago. Were we talking too loudly and bothered you?”

Lu Shan opened his mouth, then paused and looked at Director Gu. Meanwhile, Gu Tingchuan’s expression did not change at all. He merely smiled at her and said, “No, I just needed a rest.”

The young actor who was chatting with Yi Ran approached and thoughtlessly and suddenly interjected, “Director Gu, your wife is very cute and has a good personality. We just talked for a bit and she is completely different from what I expected.”

The agent beside him couldn’t wait to find a seal to block his mouth, but Gu Tingchuan only smiled coldly and spit out a short sentence, “Thank you. If you have time, you should pay more attention to the audition.”

After saying this, he turned to the deputy director and his assistant and said, "I’ll return to the office to take a short rest.”

It should be known that, in the past, getting the “workaholic” Director Gu to put down his work for even a little bit to rest was simply an impossible task. But now, Yi Ran appeared and, every time he looked at her, he would smile brilliantly, making people feel as if he was totally indulging in love. 

Gu Tingchuan walked by her side and tried to fix the scarf around her neck. However, she held down the back of his hand and looked at him, saying, “Actually, I'll just take it down. Your company’s heater is on and I feel hot.”

He simply took off her scarf for her and placed it in her hands. Then, he raised his eyebrows and reminded her, “It’s been cold recently. Be more careful of your body.”

The two people getting along with each other so naturally, just like a young couple, really opened the eyes of the crowd. 

Yi Ran walked into the elevator in a happy mood. Gu Tingchuan stepped inside after her and turned to press the elevator button. He gaze rested on the group of youthful male actors. 

Each figures was healthy, with bright facial features. They were all clearly visually attractive. He still couldn’t hold back and looked at her deeply. He raised his lips and asked, “So happy?”

Yi Ran smirked and teasingly said, “I’m not stupid. These new generation actors don’t really want to provoke me. They want to be close to me so they could borrow me… But I’m satisfied. Hahaha.”

Gu Tingchuan’s lips tipped up. He quietly looked away and, after a moment, said, “This profession has many rules and regulations. Before, the reason why I didn’t take you out into the circle was also because I wanted to avoid this.” 

He sighed helplessly but, after having been under Yi Ran’s influence for a while now, his sense of humor had increased. “Don’t say they are just good to you. Many actors are also dedicated to me.” 

She laughed and said with a smile, “Director Gu also had a lot of hardships. With such high charisma, he can make all living things go crazy over him.”
