Turned

"Oh~~" a few people exclaimed when Chen Waan came out of the dressing room. Currently, Mo Yifan was getting changed for the next photoshoot session.

"Oh my God, you look so to the point. Miyu is indeed the best," someone said in the back.

Layla gauged the girl from head to toe. They had thought to do three cosplay couples for today but it seemed that was not going to happen. If Miyu felt like it, they might do five even. For this session, they had gone with the easier one – Misaki and Usui from the anime Maid-sama.

Since it was a romance comedy set in high school, the dresses were rather simple. This time, they had not changed the set, and the background remained the same. It was the perfect theme.

"Have you watched the anime?" she asked Chen Waan.

Chen Waan nodded, "It was one of the first anime I picked up. I have watched it multiple times after that, haha." She was a bit embarrassed to admit it but she was a closet otaku. Of course, she knew it was not a great thing so she did not say it outright.

"Great, it would be easier for us to take pictures then. Mo Yifan might have not seen it but we have explained to him briefly, so it should be okay," the photographer chirped and went back to her camera.

To Chen Waan, it seemed like everyone WhirlWind hired was obsessed with their career and passion. This Layla was another example. She had seen the photos of her and Mo Yifan in the previous act, and needless to say, she could not recognize either herself or Mo Yifan. The pair was so perfect that she would have really thought that they were in love.

The lighting, the angles, her photographs were so amazing that Chen Waan was mesmerized by herself even.

The three photoshoots went on smoothly as well. They took two other couples from Sword Art Online and Naruto.

After a tiring day, Miyu decided to take the whole team out on dinner.

"We have arranged special meal for you," she assured Chen Waan who happened to be vegetarian. Miyu had already taken pointers from Auntie Zhou. She also invited Wang Zibo for the same.

In the private room, only four people were present. Rest of the crew had a separate room where they were partying on the successful shoot. There was an awkward silence in the room and Miyu was unable to digest it.

"Come on guys, what is this? Wang Zibo, I am meeting you after full one year, what is this long face?" she spoke in English. Right now, the common language among the four was English. While Wang Zibo had studied Japanese, Mo Yifan was only at elementary level, so English was more comfortable to communicate with everyone.

The other two understood very well why Wang Zibo was quiet. Right now, he was eating slowly just in a daze. He was obviously his usual calm self but his eyes were completely out of focus.

"God, manager Wang. We will talk to your dad ourselves. You do not need to worry about it. Even if he has any plans like what you described, he should have discussed it with us. Our problem is just that, at least mine is. If it concerns my life, why not tell it beforehand? If he had told me this sooner, I probably would not have signed," Chen Waan could not take it anymore. She slammed the table while imparting her piece. She definitely did not want any souring of relationships due to her. At the same time, she wanted to make sure she is telling her opinion.

"That's what the problem is. This whole project of my dad revolves around the fact that you, Chen Waan you, are a part of it. If you had not signed, his project had ended even before it started. He saw your chemistry with Fan Fan, that's why he came up with this idea," was what he had wanted to say but he had other things to worry about if that were their idea. His neck was more important. He cleared his throat and put down his chopsticks before seriously speaking.

"I know it is quite overwhelming. I apologize for breaking it to you like this. Knowing my dad, it's not something he cannot think of. But I would really like for you guys to consider that possibility," he put forth his argument forbearingly.

"I never said I was against it," Mo Yifan replied, putting a piece of meat casually in his mouth. He actually had been unable to sleep last night. He had an inkling that's what Director Wang was aiming for since the first day, especially when he had argued that it would dispel unwanted attention from him. He had also worried that if he did end up announcing his relationship with Chen Waan, most of his fans, who were females, would run away. How was Wang Zenghao going to handle this? It was something he was yet to see.

Chen Waan glared at him with a look of betrayal. She thought he was on the same side as hers. He had dismissed the idea yesterday in mockery, why this sudden change?

"What? If we are getting into acting anyway, would it not be better to take this as a project too?" he shrugged his shoulders.

"Have you really thought about it, Mr. Mo? If acting, you will have to act all the way," Chen Waan replied with a smirk. Ah, this workaholic fool. To improve his art, he was ready to sacrifice his own life.

"Celebrities don't have a private life. As soon as I am announced your girlfriend, people will start stalking us more. You will have to put on the act even at home. I wonder if you are ready for this."

"I trust Wang Zenghao. If it does not work out, he will still have a way out. So, let's go with it," Mo Yifan replied with a shrug. Not like they were going to fall for each other. It would be the act of century, and he was okay with it.

Wang Zibo looked at him gratefully while Chen Waan facepalmed. What was wrong with everyone in WhirlWind entertainment? Why were they so supportive of the idea? She threw her hands in the air, giving up. She would take this up with Wang Zenghao by herself.
