You were supposed to have a fake marriage with the diva, so how did you become her father?

Chapter 84 Foot Washing and Back Massage

This song was also one that Lu Ran liked very much in his previous life, and its singer's voice is very similar to Xu Manxue's now.

The melody of this song is simple and warm, the lyrics are healing, and the original singer's voice is not a perfect voice in the traditional sense, but has a unique texture.

He felt that this song was indeed very suitable for Xu Manxue in her current situation.

Just as I was about to start writing the score, my phone rang.

Lu Ran picked up his phone and saw that it was a message from Shen Yuege.

"I'm going back to Shanghai tomorrow afternoon, and I'll have dinner at home tonight!"

Lu Ran immediately replied, "Okay, I'll come pick you up."

After thinking for a moment, he posted another message: "Something interesting happened during the theme song contest. I'll tell you the details tomorrow."

Shen Yuege quickly replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

After putting down his phone, Lu Ran felt inexplicably better.

Although Shen Yuege had returned a few days ago, Lu Ran still felt that his house was empty at night if he didn't see Shen Yuege for a day.

After calming down, Lu Ran focused on writing songs again, his fingertips flying across the keyboard.

The next afternoon, Lu Ran finished work early and went to the airport to pick up Shen Yuege.

Since Lu Ran left work early for the first time, she no longer cares so much about clocking in and out.

It's like having a hundred-dollar bill and being reluctant to spend it. But one day, you spend one dollar and have ninety-nine dollars left. Then you'll spend that money faster and faster.

Shen Yuege's itinerary was kept secret this time, and no fans greeted her at the airport.

She was dressed simply in a sweatshirt and jeans, with a baseball cap and a mask, looking like an ordinary college student.

However, Lu Ran recognized her at a glance.

Upon seeing Lu Ran, her eyes crinkled into a smile, and she quickly walked over.

"Have you been waiting long?" she asked.

"Just arrived." Lu Ran took her suitcase. "How many days will you be staying this time?"

"Two days," Shen Yuege said. "After that, I have to fly to Beijing to record a show. But after this, I should be able to rest for a while. Legendary Entertainment really used me to death in the last few months."

Although Shen Yuege spoke lightly, Lu Ran could still hear the weariness in her tone.

"There are only a few days left. If we really can't stand it, we'll just have to breach the contract," Lu Ran said.

Shen Yuege rolled her eyes at him: "You really don't know how easy it is for you to talk. Do you know how much my breach of contract fee is? Two hundred million."

"If I breach the contract, I'll lose everything I own. Are you going to support me then?" Shen Yuege said irritably.

"I'll take care of you," Lu Ran replied without hesitation.

Shen Yuege was stunned. He didn't expect Lu Ran to actually say that, and his tone just now didn't seem like he was joking.

Watching Lu Ran pull her suitcase and walk ahead of her, Shen Yuege suddenly felt that it would be quite heartwarming if this continued for a long time.

After getting into the car, the two remained silent.

It seems that what they just said made their situation a little awkward.

In the end, it was Shen Yuege who broke the silence first.

"You said yesterday that something interesting happened during the theme song submission process? What was it? You're being so mysterious!"

While driving, Lu Ran recounted Xu Manxue's audition.

Upon hearing Xu Manxue's name, Shen Yuege was somewhat surprised: "She really auditioned? And she even sang a Cantonese song?"

"Yes, she sang with a lot of emotion," Lu Ran said. "Although her voice isn't particularly good, her emotions were spot on and very moving."

Shen Yuege was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Her voice used to be really beautiful. When we were training together, the teachers all said she was a once-in-a-decade genius."

"What a pity," Lu Ran sighed, "but I'm planning to write a song for her."

"You're going to write a new song for her?" Shen Yuege asked excitedly. "That's wonderful! The song you wrote for her will definitely suit her perfectly."

"Hmm, it's a rather soothing song, which should suit her current voice," Lu Ran said. Looking at Shen Yuege, who was also genuinely happy, Lu Ran added, "Consider it repayment for what you owed her, even though what happened before had nothing to do with you."

"In short, she's actually a good girl, so let's give her another chance to pursue her musical dreams."

Shen Yuege looked at Lu Ran with gentle eyes: "You're always like this, seemingly indifferent to everything, but actually kinder than anyone else."

Lu Ran laughed: "Is my senior praising me?"

"What else?" Shen Yuege rolled her eyes at him.

The two returned to the villa, and Lu Ran cooked several dishes that Shen Yuege liked.

During dinner, Shen Yuege suddenly said, "Lu Ran, Chen Jing and I have already registered our studio. The name is 'Star Moon Media.' What do you think?"

"Star and Moon?" Lu Ran raised an eyebrow. "The Moon in Shen Yuege's name, but who is the Star?"

Shen Yuege blushed slightly: "It was just a random name, it doesn't have much meaning. If you don't like it, you can come up with one yourself."

Lu Ran smiled, not calling her out: "No, it's a nice name. When will it officially launch?"

"After my contract expires," Shen Yuege said, "I will hold a press conference to officially announce my independence."

"Are you really not planning to come to my studio?" Shen Yuege looked at Lu Ran with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"That's not impossible. I can register my name first, and I'll do my best to help you if needed," Lu Ran replied after thinking for a moment.

The main problem is that there are only two people in Shen Yuege's studio right now, and he can't openly slack off in front of them.

If I really want to join, I should wait until the studio grows bigger before I do, so as not to attract attention.

Shen Yuege thought about it and agreed. She had indeed acted impulsively and hadn't thought things through.

Moreover, their marriage is a sham, and it will expire in about six months.

"Lu Ran, what are your plans after this contract marriage expires?" Shen Yuege asked this question.

"Me? Yes, I have plans." Lu Ran replied quickly when Shen Yuege asked him.

"What are your plans?" Shen Yuege asked, looking somewhat nervous.

Although she knew that the fake marriage would be exposed sooner or later, she felt that she couldn't live without Lu Ran now, so she really wanted to know Lu Ran's next plans.

"I'm planning to wash my feet first, then get a back massage," Lu Ran said earnestly. "I've been a bit tired from work lately, so it's good to relax a bit."

As soon as Lu Ran finished speaking, a sharp pain shot through his lower back.

Shen Yuege's small hand had already twisted it.

"I let you wash my feet and massage my back. Do you want me to give you a massage first?" Shen Yuege said through gritted teeth. She had just been worried that Lu Ran might leave her.

"Hey, senior, be gentle, you'll break it." Lu Ran begged for mercy while continuing to tease, "How about you wash my feet and massage my back, and I'll renew my contract, okay..."

Before he could finish speaking, the pain in his lower back intensified.
