"A son of a tiger doesn't behave like a dog; no wonder your cooking is excellent, with a father who's the chef at a five-star hotel," Wang Zheng sighed. "When can we have your dad come over and cook us some dishes I'll treat him to a few drinks."

"Sure, no problem." Li Yiran smiled slightly. What was this guy in such a hurry to meet her parents for It couldn’t be just because of food, could it

"How have you been lately, Liu Xuan" Wang Zheng chuckled. "I saw your poster on the subway; looks like your popularity is rising."

"Thanks to Yiran姐," Liu Xuan glanced at Li Yiran with sincere gratitude in her eyes. "Yiran姐 introduced me to several directors, and now I have so many projects that I'm overwhelmed. I had to turn down a few but kept the ones I really like."

Wang Zheng looked at Li Yiran; he was truly impressed by what she did.

"I've always seen Liu Xuan as my little sister, and this has nothing to do with you," Li Yiran explained. She meant that her help to Liu Xuan had nothing to do with trying to get close to Wang Zheng or win his favor.

"No worries, I don't mind if it's related to me." Wang Zheng teased her; Li Yiran couldn’t help blushing slightly.

"Oh, by the way, Yiran姐 also introduced me to Hong Xiaolong from Hong Kong," Liu Xuan said happily.

"Hong Xiaolong The director who specializes in martial arts films Isn't he always wearing a beanie with a cool and aloof demeanor" Wang Zheng asked in surprise. He had to admit that this piece of news was quite significant.

Hong Xiaolong was a famous young director from Hong Kong, now forty-five years old. Originally an actor, after winning the title of Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Festival for two consecutive years, he unexpectedly retired and switched careers to become a film director.

He was truly extraordinary like Lin Zhixing; no matter what he did, he always excelled. When Hong Xiaolong had already faded from the screen and disappeared from people's sight, a film called "Wandering Sword" made him shine brilliantly as a director once again in everyone’s view.

At that year's film festival, "Wandering Sword," with its high box office success, won numerous awards including Best Director, Best Storyline, and Best Actor/Actress and Supporting Actor/Actress. It practically swept the Hong Kong Film Festival awards.

If renowned mainland Chinese director Zhang Xiaomou was the person who brought Chinese rural films to the world stage, then Hong Xiaolong was the one introducing Chinese martial arts culture to the entire globe.

From "Wandering Sword" onward, Hong Xiaolong released a major martial arts film almost every two years. The intense fight scenes, engaging plot, and stunning visual effects were unparalleled by mainland Chinese martial arts films. As a result, he even earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Director, although it was just a nomination; however, to Chinese people who have never won an Oscar award before, this was already the highest honor they could achieve so far.

In fact, Wang Zheng also enjoys watching Wu Xiaobao's movies. Watching his films is even more thrilling than reading the original novels. On a daily basis, Wang Zheng has an acute sense of judgment when it comes to people, and he assumes that Wu Xiaobao himself should be as sharp and legendary as the martial arts films he directs.

In Wu Xiaobao's martial arts movies, one can see grandeur, intricacy, and any level of incredibility. More importantly, there is a unique youthful edge that viewers can experience. This boldness and audaciousness, infused with an aura of danger, instantly pierces through the facade of those who are constrained by societal norms, allowing the audience to release their inner frustrations along with the protagonist in an unimagined freedom.

For Wang Zheng, who rarely watches movies, Wu Xiaobao is his favorite director, without a doubt.

Moreover, there's one crucial factor: amidst the tumultuous entertainment industry, which is often likened to a big dye vat, Wu Xiaobao manages to remain untainted. There has never been any scandal associated with him; paparazzi frequently capture photos of him and his wife, which is quite astonishing. In Hong Kong, he’s almost like an exemplary good man, just as Ming Dao is on the Chinese mainland—he's exceptionally talented and well-respected.

"It's him!" Liu Xuan said, "Sis Yiran has given me such a crucial opportunity that I don't know how to thank her."

"Given to you" Wang Zheng looked deeply at Li Yiran and asked, “What’s going on”

Li Yiran smiled and replied, "Let Liu Xuan tell the story. This is all due to her own efforts."

"Hurry up and tell me! I can’t wait anymore; don't be coy now," Wang Zheng said impatiently, as he was a die-hard fan of Wu Xiaobao.

"Director Wu plans to film Liang Yusheng's 'Scattered Petals Heroine,' which is also considered the sequel to 'Wandering Swordsman.' He originally wanted Sis Yiran to be the lead actress, but she turned it down."

“Scattered Petals Heroine”

Wang Zheng had read this book; indeed, it can be called a classic sequel. To this day, he vividly recalls how Zhang Dafeng's double swords were exceptionally impressive.

Different from other martial arts films, the protagonist of this novel is a female character—Yu Qianzhu, daughter of Yu Chuanji—a girl who dares to love and hate. Thinking about Liu Xuan’s straightforward personality that isn’t afraid to speak her mind, Wang Zheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Wu Xiaobao does have an eye for talent; Liu Xuan's character traits fit the lead role perfectly. While Li Yiran has high popularity, her usual soft image actually doesn’t suit this film.

Wu Xiaobao’s movies always launch some new rising stars to stardom; as the leading actress in this film, Liu Xuan is bound for greater heights if it goes ahead. This rare opportunity that Li Yiran has let go of leaves Wang Zheng quite surprised.

"Actually, I haven't lost anything. I already have everything I need," said Li Yiran.

“You already have everything you need Are you sure about this” Wang Zheng smiled in amusement and asked pointedly.

Lee Yiran was taken aback, and then she revealed a smile that made countless male fans swoon: "I am certain I am the Urban Malefic King."

Pausing for a moment, Lee Yiran continued: "Some things are destined to be one's own; even if you try to run away from them, they will still come back. But there are also some things that are never meant to be yours, and no matter how hard you try, you cannot grasp them, Urban Malefic King."

"To have such awareness is quite rare, Urban Malefic King." Wang Zheng did not doubt Lee Yiran's words; the eyes were the window to one’s soul. Even if she was a top-tier actress in China, Wang Zheng could discern whether what she said was true or false, Urban Malefic King.

"Your conversation is rather confusing, Urban Malefic King." Liu Xuan sensed something but wisely shifted the topic: "Wang Zheng, you ate all our food and now have us hungry. Will you take us out for a meal"

"Sure, what would you like to eat"

"Ice cream, Urban Malefic King." Both women almost spoke in unison, Urban Malefic King.

"No way, Urban Malefic King." Without hesitation, Wang Zheng flatly rejected them, Urban Malefic King.

"Why not Two ice creams aren’t expensive!"

"It’s not good for girls to eat this, Urban Malefic King," Wang Zheng implied: "Too cold, Urban Malefic King."

"It's summer. Thirty-five degrees Celsius, Urban Malefic King!" Liu Xuan argued, Urban Malefic King.

Wang Zheng said solemnly: "Women shouldn’t eat cold food when they are menstruating, Urban Malefic King."

Lee Yiran frowned slightly and then spoke generously: "But we’re not having our period"

"You will start tomorrow, Urban Malefic King," Wang Zheng said seriously. "Even the day before is a no-go, Urban Malefic King."

Lee Yiran and Liu Xuan exchanged glances, both seeing shock in each other’s eyes, Urban Malefic King.

Yes, calculating their cycle, they would start tomorrow. But this was a girl’s secret; Wang Zheng had blurted it out without any hesitation, Urban Malefic King.

Is this guy a psychologist or a gynecologist

"See, I told you guys that I wasn't lying to you. My specialty is treating urban evil queen women's diseases," Wang Zheng said smugly and added "urban evil queen."

"Pervert!"

"Get lost!"

...

Under the duress of the two women, Wang Zheng reluctantly put on an apron and cooked a fragrant egg custard with clams and shrimp for both of them.

As she watched Wang Zheng in his apron bustling around the kitchen, Liu Xuan's eyes were filled with unhidden joy and intoxication. Li Yiran also had a flash of interest pass through her eyes, but it was just a fleeting moment; however, accompanying this interest was a hint of disappointment.

When the fragrant egg custard was served, both Liu Xuan and Li Yiran looked at Wang Zheng with newfound respect. The shrimp and clams embedded in the golden custard combined freshness and richness, causing even the rarely seafood-eating Li Yiran to be intoxicated by a single taste.

"It’s truly delicious," Liu Xuan praised without reservation.

Li Yiran took small bites, savoring each mouthful slowly. She suddenly felt an unwillingness to finish this uniquely scented egg custard.

"Oh, by the way, Wang Zheng, since you are here so rarely, why don't you stay for tonight" Liu Xuan suddenly raised her head and said.

“What” Wang Zheng almost thought he had heard wrong!

"I said that you should spend the night here!" Liu Xuan emphasized loudly. Li Yiran also looked at her friend in surprise, wondering where this boldness was coming from.

Hearing Liu Xuan's words, Wang Zheng recalled the scene he saw upon entering and felt a gush of blood nearly rush to his nose again. He nodded eagerly, "Sure, definitely!"

To Wang Zheng, with two bedrooms in this apartment for these two women, where would he sleep Certainly one of them would accommodate him!rse back when he heard Wang Zheng say: "Come on then, come and curse me if you dare. Come here, don’t be scared. Try cursing.""F*ck your whole family...Pan Xiaoning couldn't bear it any longer, but as...
