Chapter 256 ’Mommy Doesn’t Want To Play With Me!’

"Adelle, please bring Xiao Zhanzhan back to the car." Ran Xueyi's tone was decisive and had finality in it.

Adelle knew that Ran Xueyi wouldn't agree no matter what benefit or advantage anyone tried to give her. When it comes to her son, Ran Xueyi won't remain cordial and show kindness towards anybody.

When Adelle found out that Ran Xueyi had given birth to a child after they signed a contract, she almost wanted to collapse. She felt like she was tricked into signing a disadvantageous contract with a devil. But she was proven wrong. Even with a child, Ran Xueyi continued to rise in popularity and all her films were sold out in cinemas, turning her into another Box Office Queen.

"Alright," hummed Adelle and tried to pull the little boy away from her.

But who knew that Xiao Zhanzhan wouldn't let go.

Filled with renewed determination and also aggrieved that his mother did not give in to his wish, tears formed in his eyes.

Xiao Zhanzhan was about to cry.

Ran Xueyi also felt aggrieved when she saw her son being like this.

She wanted to scold him, but upon thinking much into it. She really couldn't bring herself to scold him. Moreover, his intentions were far too good for her to reprimand him.

What to do then?

"Song Zhan, listen to mommy. This is not something you should do. I will only allow it when you grow older."

Ran Xueyi actually did not want to restrict what her son wanted. If he still wanted to get into the entertainment world after he was older enough, she would support his decision and protect him while doing so.

Looking at her small son that has a height that didn't even reach her hip, Ran Xueyi shook her head. Xiao Zhanzhan is still two years old, almost turning three after a few more months.

It was too early for him...

Thus, Ran Xueyi adamantly refused everyone's suggestions to use her son as the child actor for the photoshoot.

However, the problem was they couldn't find someone at this point.

"Well, since you already said no, the only choice is for us to look for another child," the prop team was disappointed but he could do nothing about it. "We can hire some child outside of the studio but we need their parents' permission first."

"Naturally, we need their permission. However, the question is... will they even be able to perform well in front of the camera?" The brand stylist has a different concern.

To be honest, the photoshoot and the child actor was not the problem here. It was the synchronization and familiarity level that both actors would show in front of the camera. Ran Xueyi no doubt could pull any pose and photoshoot without any problem. But would that be the same with the child?

As if it was a divine prediction, the brand stylist's worries turned out to be true.

Even after they found several parents with their child outside the studio, they even scouted outside the parks nearby, but no matter how much they tried to work it out, the photoshoot still ended up taking mediocre shots and could not pass the validation and standard of the brand.

Around 6 pm, the whole staff and team inside the studio was extremely tired after running around and looking for a suitable child who was not camera shy nor afraid of being surrounded by strangers and several adults.

"Ahh... This is a disaster," said the photographer.

His arms were becoming stiff and numb from holding the camera the entire day. He never experienced doing such a photoshoot that took a full ten hours. It would have been better if they took a passable shot, but unfortunately, even his skills and the high performance camera he was using couldn't save the day.

"Let's just call it a day."

"Yeah, we will wait for the child actors who will come tomorrow instead. We will conduct a screening first before we pick any of them. It would be another disaster if things ended up like today."

The photographer and brand stylist nodded at each other, reaching a tacit understanding at the very end of the day.

Ran Xueyi agreed to the arrangement of the team and headed to the car. Since Adelle had to be in the car with Xiao Zhanzhan, she headed there alone after saying farewell to everyone.

"By the way, who was that child? Is that some relative's child?"

The brand stylist scratched his chin and was also curious, "Probably. The two looked extremely alike, just a bit different in some portions, however, that boy should be someone related to her."

"Tsk, if only Estelle agreed to have that boy shoot the cover with her, wouldn't this season's front cover sell out the second it's released?"

The photographer certainly felt that it was such a waste since both shared close relationship, working with each other will surely be such a piece of cake.

Sadly, Ran Xueyi had already refused and persistently rejected the idea. What else could they do?

At this moment, the staff member, who talked with Ran Xueyi and Adelle at that start, was taking off the props that weren't needed. He ended up hearing what they said and turned to look at the three men talking before tilting his head in confusion.

Relative? Isn't that her son?

The staff didn't linger any longer and carried the props outside. Well, it wasn't his business anyway.

...

In front of the car, Ran Xueyi hugged her arms tightly as the night breeze blew past her.

She reached her hand out and pulled the car door open before pausing.

"What happened?"

Inside the car, Adelle looked very haggard. She almost looked like she fought in the wild with dozens of wild animals. The stuff inside the car was overturned and a grumpy tiny boy sat in the seat with his arms crossed.

Clearly, it was done by her own son.

Ran Xueyi: "..."

Not saying anything until she got inside the car, Ran Xueyi glanced at the silent boy, who refused to look at her, intending to ignore her.

Xiao Zhanzhan sensed that he was being stared at and puffed his chest in anger.

'Mommy doesn't want to play with me!'
