Chapter 70 - Presidential Suite

Qin Hai saw Qin Ling cry even more after saying all these words. Feeling heartbroken on his daughter's behalf, Qin Hai completely forgot being interrupted by his daughter and wife.

He nodded at her while patting her back, "Alrighty, alright. Don't cry anymore. My pretty little baby shouldn't cry. Daddy will do everything he can to never let them bully you again!"

Qin Ling pouted. "What about that actress they picked to replace me in the movie?"

"Hmph! She dares take away that was yours… Of course, she must be kicked out of the industry and never to return again!" Qin Hai slapped his thigh. No matter who that actress was, he didn't care. All in his mind was that he must satisfy his daughter's needs and wants, no matter what they are.

It was a pity that he didn't see that actress's face and didn't get to play with her for a while before kicking her out of the industry. In any case, Qin Hai already decided that she must be blacklisted from the industry.

Inside the Northern Star Hotel.

Ran Xueyi had just returned from the studio. She didn't do anything other than sit and watch the crew do their work the whole day. But even then, she felt so tired and couldn't wait to sleep.

The filming site of the movie was located in Northern Ring City, a city very close to the Imperial Capital. It was named the City of Filming Studios because of how many filming studios were built there that everywhere you go, cameras could be found everywhere, and actors would loiter around.

Ran Xueyi followed the staff with the other actors and actresses in the lobby and waited for their card keys.

When the staff member handed the card key to Ran Xueyi, she noticed that her room number was a few floors away from the others.

The staff member stared at her as he explained, "The rooms were already reserved a few weeks ago. Miss Ran Xueyi joined the cast a bit later, so we couldn't reserve a better room for you."

Meng Chen frowned. "What about Qin Ling's room? Since she's not here, shouldn't her room be available for her?"

The staff member shook his head and replied, "Miss Qin's room will be used by someone else outside the cast. And the hotel's first-class rooms are all occupied, so I can only ask Miss Ran Xueyi to be more understanding of us and stay in this room for the time being."

"Well, that's to be expected since the hotel owner is a good friend of Qin Ling's father," an extra murmured to the other extra on her side.

The other extra gasped and pinched the person who had just spoken. When she was sure that no one had reacted to what this person said, she asked with her voice lowered: "Really?"

The first one to speak nodded her head in affirmation.

Ran Xueyi acted as if she didn't hear their words and ignored them. Though the two had spoken in low voices, they were too close to her, and she managed to get some hints from them.

Left with no choice, Ran Xueyi accepted the card key from the staff. Meng Chen patted her shoulder, to which Ran Xueyi smiled with a reassuring smile as if saying that it was alright. The other actors and actresses left to get into their rooms which were located on the twentieth floor. The first-class rooms they were given had a wide space and complete access to the other hotel's services.

Ran Xueyi looked down at the small plastic card in her hand. The room they gave to her should be a second-class or third-class room with just a bed and bathroom. 

The bed should be at least queen-sized, right? Ran Xueyi thought as she was about to follow the others to the lift.

But then, a hotel staff member wearing a black uniform with a nameplate on her chest came forward and called out to her.

"Miss Ran?" the hotel staff sounded uncertain. However, when she saw the beautiful lady nod, the hotel staff noticed the card key in her hand and said, "I'm really sorry, Miss Ran. But I think you got the wrong room."

Ran Xueyi stopped dead in her tracks and gazed at the hotel staff. Is this another plot to throw her out of the hotel? Do they have to be so petty to humiliate her?

Ran Xueyi glanced at the others who came with her to the hotel and saw how they were looking as if they were waiting for a show. She averted her gaze away and turned to the hotel staff.

The hotel staff didn't notice the group of people heading to the elevator as she continued to speak.

"This is the presidential suite of our hotel. You can have unlimited access to all the hotel services, and you can also use the rooftop all to yourself during your stay in the hotel," the hotel staff took out a gold keycard and handed it to Ran Xueyi in front of everyone.

Initially, everyone assumed that Ran Xueyi was in trouble since she offended both Qin Ling and her father. But what is this? Why was the hotel giving her the presidential suite that even some of them could only reserve a month before they could actually use the suite. And even the reservation has some requirements to meet before you could reserve the suites.

For example, a VVIP or someone recommended by the hotel owner.

Ran Xueyi didn't take the keycard from the hotel staff, "I didn't reserve a suite."

When Ran Xueyi finished saying this, her phone suddenly vibrated.

She looked down and saw the screen lit up with a notification that told her that someone had sent her a message.

Curious to know who messaged her, Ran Xueyi opened and read the message.

[YH: You've had a long day. I reserved a suite for you so you can relax without any disturbance.]

The corner of her lips turned upward when she saw who it was and when she finished reading the message, her chest couldn't help but be filled with warmth. So, it was her husband who reserved it for her.

Putting her phone back in her pocket, Ran Xueyi took the keycard from the hotel staff and thanked her. 

The hotel staff secretly wiped the sweat on her forehead. Thank goodness and the beautiful woman took the keycard with her. She didn't know what she'd do if Ran Xueyi refused to take it. But she knew that if that happened, she'd have to do everything to persuade Ran Xueyi, or else, her boss would take her position as a hotel manager and become an ordinary hotel staff.

When Ran Xueyi walked to the elevator where the others were waiting for her, she smiled and greeted them.

"Ahh, I'm so jealous of you, Ran Xueyi. I also want a presidential suite," Meng Chen adorably complained. 

Ran Xueyi laughed. "You can stay with me then. The suite should be bigger than the first-class and has a few extra rooms inside."

Meng Chen thought about it for a few seconds before she shook her head, "No, I don't want to disturb your rest. Besides, if I went and slept in your room, I'll probably have to bring my manager with me," she leaned forward and whispered, "I'm a heavy sleeper that's why. Anyway, be careful. Qin Ling will not take this defeat very kindly. She will target you more after today."

Ran Xueyi thanked Meng Chen and watched her get inside the lift together with the others. What Meng Chen told her, she already expected it and was even looking forward to it.

The more people tried to bring her down, the more she wanted to prove them wrong and rise to the top.

When the others were no longer in her sight, she turned to the hotel staff who wanted to guide her to the presidential suite. Ran Xueyi followed along with her to the private lift that only VVIP and the hotel owner could use.

After a while, Ran Xueyi finally arrived on her floor. Surprisingly, the floor only had 3 suites on it. The security and privacy were even tighter than she expected.

"This is your suite, Miss Ran," said the hotel staff. "Have a great night."

Ran Xueyi nodded and let the hotel staff leave first before opening her suite door.

The massive door swung open, revealing a bright entrance lit by warm glowing lights. The walls were two-toned; white and beige color. The high ceilings, the brightly lit chandelier, and the floor-to-ceiling windows with white curtains, everything screamed high class and expensive.

But Ran Xueyi only glanced at it once before she grew bored of it. She was an heiress and grew up beside her wealthy grandparents. This kind of lavishness and luxury was something she was already familiar with.

Ran Xueyi went to the bedroom and took off her clothes. She opened the bathroom and saw the wide bathtub already filled with water. There were even petals of flowers floating in it.

'Oh, they even prepared everything else,' she thought to herself as she saw the perfumes lining up on the sink.

After taking off her bathrobe, Ran Xueyi was ready to jump into the bathtub when suddenly, an arm pulled her waist, dragging her into somebody's arms.

Ran Xueyi was about to scream and thrust her elbow back towards her attacker but stopped when she heard his voice.

"Wife, don't you miss me?" His grip around her waist tightened, "Because I miss you so much."
