Chapter 657: Ten Lives of Wandering 4
It could be said that Nana was made popular by Pei Yan, who took care of her in many ways during the movie’s shooting.
The two of them were caught by the press eating together several times, and Nana had even hinted in the media that she was interested in Pei Yan.
She was the only actress rumored to be involved with Pei Yan, and everyone thought that the two would end up together.
Unexpectedly, the end result was Nana marrying a foreign tycoon, while Pei Yan remained unmarried for life.
Some said that Pei Yan was so deeply in love with Nana that he stayed chaste for her all his life.
Others claimed that Pei Yan had never truly liked Nana at all; she had been delusional, used their rumored affair for publicity, and, having risen to fame, married into a wealthy family.
Looking at those materials, Xia Weibao was somewhat startled.
She had no idea if the information was true or false, given that the credibility of entertainment news was naturally low.
The only certainty was that Pei Yan had never married!
Moreover, she had this nagging feeling that he was searching for someone.
Looking for a female lead for five years was just absurd.
She googled this Actress Nana.
When she saw that face, she was struck as if by lightning!
She resembled her... to about seventy percent...
Her mind drifted, the speculations in her heart growing clearer and clearer.
The same looks, unmarried for life, searching for someone...
This couldn’t be a coincidence, it definitely wasn’t!
Thinking of something, she then googled the other three emperors from history who never had an imperial harem.
All portraits, the older the era, the more abstract the portraits became, diverging widely from how the real person might have looked; but those facial contours, and that sharp gaze, those familiar eyebrows and eyes, they belonged to her His Majesty...
With trembling hands, she took out her phone, took a deep breath, and steadied her emotions.
She made a call to Xu Jiayang.
"Director Xu, you just said that there were many famous people in history who never married?"
"Yes, what do you want to know that for?"
Xu Jiayang was editing a film and frowned.
Why did her voice sound like she was about to cry?
"Are you crying?"
Xia Weibao cleared her throat, trying to make her voice sound normal.
"No, I just choked on some spicy snacks. Director Xu, can you tell me which famous people never married?"
"There are many, the most famous are those four emperors, then there’s Yuan Zhinan, the first warlord of the Republic of China era, and Pei Yan, the first movie star of the last century."
"Besides them, who else?"
Xu Jiayang fell silent for a moment, suddenly asked about this, he couldn’t remember so many.
The line went silent, Xia Weibao was anxious but dared not rush him, her heart filled with urgency.
Her fists clenched and unclenched continuously, her body shaking slightly.
"There’s also the famous poet Wencai, the Regent King Zhou Yiming, who held sway over the court and the country, oh right, Sheng Lifan, the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch during the Yu Dynasty, also never married. There was a somewhat famous businessman from the last century named Xu Daren who also remained unmarried, but he was a eunuch, someone who had offended others and was made a eunuch ..."
Xia Weibao, "..."
No way, that’s so tragic!
After hanging up the phone, she googled those people Xu Jiayang mentioned.
The famous poet Wencai, the Regent King Zhou Yiming, who held sway over the court and the country, Sheng Lifan, the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch during the Yu Dynasty, all of their images were just like her His Majesty!
Xia Weibao’s face was already streaming with tears, however, upon seeing the last photo of Xu Daren, all the tears were forcibly held back!
Oh, no!
This man looked like a toad, definitely not her Dog Emperor!
