Chapter 507: Chapter 507: The Deranged Master Li
"Stop going on about it, you’ve been talking about this for three months now, and I really can’t take it anymore," Jason stuck out his tongue, pretending to bite it off, instantly making everyone in the room laugh.
"’A Tree of Pear Blossoms’ is also a hit, if you go out now, even the aunties at the market know you," Theodore Hughes said excitedly.
It was only after they brought it up that Delphine realized that ’A Tree of Pear Blossoms’ had already aired, and it received unprecedented acclaim. As her last ancient romance drama after her retirement, the show was already popular before it aired. When it was finally broadcast in the prime time slot, its strict plot, conscientious crew, and superb acting, coupled with it being a period drama, garnered almost unanimous praise.
The lead actress Delphine became the nation’s goddess in every way. After winning her first Actress award, she retired. That shocking lawsuit and her mysterious family background became hot topics of conversation.
"So, you didn’t know?" Jason, seeing her just giggling foolishly, was so exasperated that it hurt, and said, "I sacrificed my clubbing time every day to properly stay home and watch your show, and you didn’t even know it aired!"
Seeing Jason’s exasperated chest-thumping, Delphine dared not laugh too hard, only half lying on the recliner while holding her waist, chuckling, "Ever since I had the baby, I haven’t been watching TV, and no one told me, how would I know?"
Everyone was taken aback, their jaws dropping.
"So, Ignatius is that strict?" Theodore stammered.
"Yeah, I have to eat herbal meals every day, and I’m not allowed to eat anything spicy," Delphine said lazily.
"That’s crazy," Jason commented, only to be smacked on the head by Kyla Zamora. Just as Jason was about to get mad, he spotted the stern man entering the room and instantly fell silent like a chicken.
Ignatius Leclair initially wanted to avoid the scene, but he couldn’t rest assured, worried that these people would disturb his wife and son. After circling the area, he returned, and upon entering, saw Delphine half-lying on the lounge chair. Her pale face gained a bit of color from her smile, which instantly warmed the man’s heart, even making these people more pleasing to his eye.
The handsome, austere nobleman rarely smiled as he said, "Would you like to stay for a meal?"
From Kyla Zamora to the oldest director, everyone stood up at once, all trying to guess whether this was a polite way of telling them to leave. They didn’t believe the Crown Prince of the South Seas was genuinely inviting them to dinner.
They had just been chatting for an hour, yet they were being ushered out. It was truly outrageous, no denying it.
"No need, we just came to see Delphine. The two directors have to get back to the set this afternoon," Kyla Zamora said with a somewhat forced smile, pulling Director Granger and Director Lin out as shields. God knows, they had given the entire crew a day off just for this invitation. A day off!
The man’s handsome face showed a hint of regret, and he then said with a low chuckle, "Then I won’t hold up your work. Thank you for coming to see Delphine today."
Everyone forced out stiff smiles and sensibly said their goodbyes.
After walking some distance and finally feeling the overbearing presence disappear, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Emma, Ignatius’s possessiveness is terrifying," Jason said, patting his chest and feigning a sweet voice, "If my darling treated me like that, I’d die happy."
Everyone: "!!!"
