Chapter 1039: 1039
At the back of the crowd, Xue Mengqi smiled and walked towards him . She was already holding a cup of ginseng soup in her hands . The ginseng soup was in a small and white porcelain goblet and a bit of steam was rising from it . She looked extremely delightful .

The clan relatives immediately started praising her, “Good gracious, look . Mengqi has already thought of it . We don’t even need reminders from the servants . Hasn’t everything been prepared? Come here . ”
Gu Xiande looked at Xue Mengqi with his eyes narrowed .
Xue Mengqi said, “Grandfather, I haven’t been back for a long time . I managed to get here in time while your health is poor . I’ll accompany you more when you’re better in the future . ”
Gu Xiande glanced at her and said to the people beside him, “This is Mengqi?”
“Yes, yes . She’s the Mengqi we often mention to you,”
the clan relatives said excitedly .
Of course, Gu Xiande knew what they meant by this . They had mentioned this Xue Mengqi not just once or twice . The fact that they had repeatedly mentioned her meant that the clansmen had already collectively nominated this Xue Mengqi to be their mistress .
However, they needed the support of Gu Xiande, a prominent elder of the family .
Gu Xiande knew that Lin Che was indeed not cut out to be the mistress . He did not want her to be the mistress either .
As for the Xue Mengqi in front of him, he still had to observe her . He could not approve or disapprove of her so soon either .
By the time Gu Jingze arrived, everyone had quietened down as well .
As Gu Xiande had escaped the jaws of death again this time, the atmosphere in the Gu residence finally became much more relaxed over the next few days .

Gu Jingze wanted to return home early every day . Because Lin Che was pregnant, he wanted to stay by Lin Che’s side a little more often .
However, there were times when going on business trips was unavoidable .
He had to go out and settle matters but he did not want to go as it was too far . How could Lin Che agree to it? She definitely did not want to become a burden to him .
She said, “If you don’t want to go, I can go with you too . ”
But Gu Jingze was not agreeable . “It’s too far . You’ll have such a hard time taking the plane . It won’t do if something happens while you’re there . ”
Lin Che said, “In that case, go on your own first . I won’t go out and loiter about for the next few days too . I can make use of the time to discuss with the company our plans to film a short comedy . We’ve already chosen the novel and all the other components are going to be set in motion . I’m very busy too . Even if you’re at home, you won’t be able to accompany me much . ”
There was nothing Gu Jingze could do but kiss her forehead . “Alright then . Bring a few more people with you when you go out . ”
“I’m fine . ”
“I know, but I worry…”
Even though he knew that nothing would happen to her since there were people with her to help her out if there was any danger, no matter how well-prepared they were, he was still worried . What could he do?
Lin Che’s heart softened at his words . She pressed a short kiss to his lips .
They had not behaved so intimately in front of the maids for a long time . For a moment, she felt a little embarrassed .

Although the maids had gotten used to it a long time ago, she herself still blushed .
Gu Jingze smiled . He patted her on the head before leaving .
Lin Che was just about to head to the company when she received a call from Mu Feiran beforehand .
“Lin Che, you’re not busy, right?”
“No . What’s up, Feiran?” Lin Che asked while walking .
“I read that novel you chose . I think it’s very interesting . I’ve decided to take the role . ”
“Ah . Really?” Hearing this, Lin Che quickly asked, “But you’re sure that you want to, right? You’re not agreeing to film it out of consideration for my feelings, right?”
“How silly . Of course . It’s a fact that I haven’t tried out such a role, so I want to give it a try . ”
Lin Che was still a little hesitant after thinking about it . “But even though I think that it will be very fun if all of us do something we like together, it really doesn’t seem consistent with your image in the past . People won’t say that I ruined you, right?”
“Silly girl . Since you’ve already said that we want to film something we ourselves like, why should we care what others say? Anyway, I quite like it . Let me know once you’ve made your decision . ”
“Sure . I’m going to the company today to discuss this . We’ve already confirmed that we want to do it . If you’re sure as well, we can go there and talk about it . ”
Mu Feiran agreed . The two of them promised to meet at the company .

Shen Youran had already reached the company long ago . Everyone was busy; those in charge of getting sponsors good sponsors while those in charge of public relations were dealing with public relations .
Lin Che went to greet Shen Youran and told her that the female lead was coming later .
Shen Youran asked, “You have already decided on the female lead? Who is it? Someone from Lin Che Studio?”
“Of course . One does not allow benefits created by one’s own work to accrue to others,” she smiled and said .
“Oh . Then who is it?”
“Well . Take a guess . ”
“How would I know?”
“You’ll know once she’s here,” Lin Che said, keeping her in suspense .
After the two of them sat down, Shen Youran said, “I’ve already gotten two screenwriters to come and take a look . One of them gave it a shot . But numerous screenwriters came knocking on our door when they heard that we were going to film something . It’s probably because they know that you’re famous and the chance of you cheating them is small . But none of them are well-known screenwriters . The big-name screenwriters still think that newbies like us aren’t reliable, so the end product will probably be terrible . That’s why they don’t want to take on the job . We’ve already contacted a few big-name screenwriters, but it’s useless no matter how many conditions we discuss with them . They’ve been rejecting us in a roundabout way . ”
Lin Che said, “I understand their concerns too . If that’s the case, we won’t force them to agree . There’s no need for the screenwriter to be a famous one either . As long as we meet one who sees eye-to-eye with us and thinks in a similar way, we’ll hire him or her . ”
“Alright . Since you’ve said so, I’ll choose someone among them first . ”
Just then, someone entered .
“You guys are already here . I’m the one who’s late . ” The person who had come in was Mu Feiran .
Shen Youran froze . When she saw Mu Feiran push the door open and walk in naturally, she was momentarily stunned .
“Eh, why…”
Lin Che stood up and said, “Feiran, you’re here . Come, take a seat . We were just talking about getting a screenwriter when you came . ”
Shen Youran had yet to register what was happening . “You guys are…”
Lin Che said, “This is the female lead . ”
“Wow . No way . The female lead is Mu Feiran? Good lord, I should go and inform those top screenwriters . If they hear that Mu Feiran is going to act in it, they will definitely clamor for the job . ”
Mu Feiran smiled and said, “Forget it . These screenwriters won’t want to come . I haven’t acted for so many years . I’m completely different now . ”
“How are you different? You’re still a huge celebrity at the level of a queen . ” Shen Youran was still very shocked . She found it very hard to believe that Mu Feiran was going to act in their first production . When the time came, they would probably receive a lot of attention .
Lin Che said, “That’s why I said that it’s someone from my company . Feiran is signed under our company right now . ”
“What the hell? You’re just teasing me now . You didn’t even say so earlier,” Shen Youran said . “I nearly died from shock . ”
Lin Che laughed out loud . “Alright . Now you know it too . As for the male lead, I don’t know who’s the best choice . ”
