The plane landed after two hours of flight. Ye Lingchen was already stepping foot in Capital City territory.

Xiao Feifei wore a large pair of black shades, with her jet black hair reaching her shoulders. Her appearance exuded coldness and elegance, as though she were a different person from before.

The group moved quickly without arousing attention from the crowd and got onto the Toyota Alphard minivan

“Luckily nobody recognized us.”

Sister Lin let out a long sigh while getting into the car.

Xiao Feifei took off her shades and playfully stuck her tongue out as well, still feeling exhilarated.

This trip back to Capital City was all done in secret. Only a few guards received her during arrival. If someone managed to identify her, then it would have been really difficult to get in the car when faced with those crazy fans.

“Miss Xiao, long time no see. You’re still as elegant as ever.” Someone was already waiting next to the driver.

“Director Li!” Xiao Feifei exclaimed. “I did not expect you to come here personally. Feifei is honored.”

“Hahaha, to be able to have Xiao Wangfei take part in my TV series, it’s my honor instead.” Director Li laughed out loud. “Furthermore you guys have traveled such long distances, it’s only natural for me to receive you personally.”

Xiao Feifei first rose to fame in a palace politics series playing as the character Wangfei. That was the reason many people were used to addressing her as Xiao Wangfei.

Director Li was not old, but he treats people kindly. His laughter was especially endearing to others.

After the exchange, Director Li looked over to Ye Lingchen who was in the same car as them. He asked out of curiosity, “and who would this be?”

“His name is Ye Lingchen, a friend of mine,” Xiao Feifei explained.

“Hello, I’m Li Tai.” Director Li gave a long hard look at Ye Lingchen, then nodded.

“Hello,” Ye Lingchen answered similarly with a smile on his face.

This director had directed many famous TV series, but Ye Lingchen remained

composed— not showing any emotion on his face.

Li Tai raised his appraisal of him a little more after such a reaction.

“Oh, this is the detailed script for this series. Due to the need for secrecy, I did not send it over before this,” Li Tai said as he took out the script.

Xiao Feifei acknowledged his concerns, then started reading the script in the car.

The drive to their destination was smooth.

Ye Lingchen had moved on from the pains of leaving home. He looked out the window quietly at the nighttime scenery of Capital City.

At dusk, as streetlights came to life. Traffic ebbed in waves, headlights flashed. Their radiance crisscrossed. Each side of the street were colorful lights that twinkled, distant and near yet also dim and bright. The illumination from the vicinity layered upon one another, outlining the shapes of the surrounding buildings. A perfect scene to muse on endless imagination and inspiration.

Along the way, the flyovers were like rainbows— drawing a beautiful line across the sky.

Skyscrapers, layers upon layers of flyovers, and the fashionable youngsters on the road. All those were things Ye Lingchen did not experience before back in Rugao City.
