Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

546  First Release

A few days later, the movie <The Invitation> was soon released in theaters.

Due to the effect of the critics and reviewers who watched the first premiere, everyone who had read their posts and reviews couldn't stop wondering if the film was truly marvelous.

Many theaters expected a surge of audiences as soon as they opened. Thus, they carefully raised the security level. Although the number of audience members who would come to the first viewing of the movie was uncertain, they still wanted to be prepared.

Thankfully, they were prepared. Who would have thought that as soon as their doors were opened, a crowd soon came rushing in?

Not only that, the moment it was already ten in the morning, the lines outside many theaters in different cities were filled with people!

Those who came to watch the movie out of interest arrived very early. But those who came because they were passing by got dragged into the line in the end due to their interest rising.

"Is this film really wonderful?" someone in the crowd whispered.

As soon as their words fell, the people nearby turned and looked at them.

"Did you not watch the number 1 hot search videos last night?" the person who asked was embarrassed as they scratched their head. "What video?"

An older woman glanced at the person before sighing and said, "The film showing today is predicted to be nominated internationally. It's not confirmed what award it will get, but from the high reviews and comments it received from high-profile film critics, the award should be exceptional!"

"That's right, that's right! I saw a video of a foreign actor praising the film too!"

"I also heard that the actors this time consist of not only new actors and actresses, but also veterans! I'm really excited to find out what the film is all about."

Several people had already sung their praises for the film even before watching it. Some people who didn't know better were skeptical and doubtful. Could a film be so outstanding as they said? These people weren't paid to exaggerate the film, right?

Even though a lot of people were still unconvinced and chose another movie to watch that day, the moment they saw the line outside for the film <The Invitation> did not decrease at all, they all changed their minds and watched it.

At the same time, the production and promotion team behind the film <The Invitation> were intensely monitoring the public response to the film. The members couldn't sleep at night, and when the first public premiere was finally released, their spines couldn't stop tingling. Even the actors who played in the film were nervous.

The reason behind this was very simple.

<The Invitation> was a film that showed a very controversial perspective of murderers and how their minds work. It wasn't only a one-sided display of justice and righteousness.

Naturally, the characters who played as the 'defender of justice' weren't the only highlights of the film, but also the murderers who displayed the ugliness of humans who have broken away from the light and hope, letting themselves be swallowed up by darkness and do things that disrupt peace.

Of course, the film didn't break any film regulations set by the National Film and Television Administration. However, because the theme was a bit darker than what people were used to, it was easier to expect that there would be a notice sooner or later to take down the film.

Fortunately, the administration gave all the checks and allowed the film to be released.

Now, all that was left was for the audiences to give them reactions.

At this moment, Ran Xueyi didn't really want to bother herself with the reactions and reviews the film would receive from the public.

Because she was more concerned about the mess in the living room.

Looking at the ruined sofa, wall, and floor carpet, she wondered if a burglar got into their place.

She turned to the 'main suspects' who caused this mess and asked with a blank face, "How did this happen?"

Song Yu Han replied, "Zhanzhan played a little bit."

"This is a 'little bit' to you?" she questioned him. The room was not only messed up, even the TV was not spared!

She approached the TV and looked at it closely. There really was a hole.

Turning to face her husband and son, Ran Xueyi narrowed her eyes at them and said coldly, "If you don't explain to me what exactly happened, you better not think of sleeping in the same bed with me for a month."

In a blink of an eye, the two males—one tall and one short—instantly straightened. Then, Little Zhanzhan, who had kept his silence all this time, finally raised his hands.

Ran Xueyi: "!"

She looked at her son and then at Song Yu Han, whose face now had cracks in it. His eyes panicked for a split second before he took the item from his son's hand.

"Is that a painting knife?" Ran Xueyi asked in a confused manner after she recognized what was in his hand. Yet, she still couldn't understand how they messed up the room.

Song Yu Han didn't expect Ran Xueyi to return so quickly. She told him before she left that she was going to meet a director for a variety show she was invited to be a guest. So, he thought he had bought himself and his son some time for themselves to try painting seriously to prove to her that they could also do it.

Unfortunately, the two of them were too engrossed in 'painting' that they ended up spilling the paints all over the living room.

But the painting knife that Little Zhanzhan picked up and threw away was the last surprise they gave her. It actually hit the TV and poked a small hole in it.

It was around the time Ran Xueyi arrived that Little Zhanzhan picked up the painting knife and hid it behind his back.

After hearing them explain the chaotic event that took place in the room, Ran Xueyi didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

But one thing was for sure. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

They needed to be punished.

"From today until the end of this month, my room and bed are off-limits!" Ran Xueyi finally told them. Song Yu Han and Little Zhanzhan showed expressions of protest, but faced with her fury, they could only close their lips and swallow their words.

Even though she appreciated their effort to give her a surprise, it was absolutely not alright for them to make a mess and protest when they were given punishment!

She still wanted to scold them and emphasize the importance of not being wasteful when her phone suddenly buzzed.

Ran Xueyi picked up the call and frowned.

The voice trembled as it spoke: "Xueyi… run. Don't let them find you!"

It was a familiar voice.

It was Alina, her best friend from Ren Country.
