On the other hand, Luo Sheng was injured, but he did not lose everything. In fact, he even secured a role in a new drama. After Tiffany's announcement was made, the official website of 'Derivative' took the opportunity to announce that they'd begin production and confirmed that their male lead was Luo Sheng. They even declared that they'd wait for him until he was fully recovered.

Luo Sheng's matter caused a huge commotion and made a huge impact on everyone. But, the majority of the public sympathized with him. In other words, he actually received a benefit from his misfortune.

"Thank you, Fany unnie," Luo Sheng thanked after receiving news that the tables had turned. "Thank you for not abandoning me."

"You didn't do anything wrong, so why would I abandon you?" Tiffany asked. "From now on, simply focus on your recovery. Once you are healthy again, you will be able to start filming. I've already spoken to Director Luo. You've actually got a decent eye for people. Although Director Luo is not a completely honest and open person, he is not the sneaky, manipulative type. So, he is safe to befriend."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng laughed, even though it tore open his injury a little, "Understood, Fany unnie."

As for the old and young Zhengs, Tiffany had already exhausted a lot of effort to get started with them. Now, it was time to 'entertain' them well.

Finally, when it came to 'Red Flame, Tiffany was certain that they'd never make a comeback unless they replaced everyone in the cast and crew or if they decided to be completely shameless.

After all the worrying and fear, Tiffany was finally a little tired. As she left the agency, she spotted Taeyeon's car parked outside. So, she immediately approached him and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I knew you'd miss me," Taeyeon said as he looked at Tiffany.

Tiffany chuckled and nodded her head, "You're the only person that understands me in this world..."

"Since the matter has been resolved now, you should get some rest."

"Let's go home, Mr. Kim. I miss my kids."

...

The entire matter was resolved smoothly. But, the date for Wendy's semifinals was fast approaching. Wendy practiced really hard, even though she was already ahead of everyone because she passed every stage with the highest points. Although she was now a part of Crown Empire, she still ended up calling Tiffany because she believed that she would never find someone with better guidance than her.

During this time, Seohyun had been staying at Wendy's home. Although she assumed that Lee Young-Min had already moved back to live with the Lee Family, she still refused to return to the apartment. She enjoyed living with Wendy. At least, she didn't feel so cold and empty there.

Wendy also enjoyed having Seohyun in her home. Especially since she could probe her about Lim Yoong. But, everytime that Seohyun thought of that icy cold man, she would cross her arms and feel chills down her spine, "I really don't know how I'm supposed to get along with him."

"Don't say that...My second uncle's family has high hopes for you."

"Haven't they seen the news I created with 'somebody' not too long ago?"

"Yes they have, but they don't seem to care. It seems, as long as my cousin finds himself a woman, they don't care who the woman is."

Seohyun: "..."

"I'm not planning to date your cousin!" As soon as Seohyun finished talking, she received a phone call from Lim Yoong.

Wendy sighed and Seohyun rolled her eyes.

The case was already closed. So, did they still have a reason to see each other?

Seohyun thought for a few moments before she answered the phone. This man was, after all, someone that had helped her.

"Come to my place." Lim Yoong hung up after four simple words.

Seohyun froze.

Was she that close to him?

Even though she wasn't, Seohyun still got up and drove over to Lim Yoong's home. Afterwards, she was dragged into the living room by him.

"What...What do you want?"

"I was saving some people and got hurt in the process. Can you cook?" Lim Yoong asked as he held onto his stomach.

Seohyun looked at the man and nodded her head, "A little."

"I'm hungry!"

Seohyun froze again. What was the meaning of this? Was this man actually treating her as a potential girlfriend? Why didn't he ask her if she was willing first?

"Apart from you, I don't know any other woman," Lim Yoong explained coldly. "I'll treat it as a sign of gratitude for my help last time."

Hearing this, Seohyun ultimately nodded her head, "Fine. Stay here and get some rest. What do you want to eat?"

"Anything."

After replying, Lim Yoong entered his bedroom while Seohyun became his personal cook. This man was filled with an air of danger and mystery, but for some reason, Seohyun couldn't seem to reject his requests.

"From the looks of it, his injury did not appear light," she thought.

Seohyun casually cooked up a few easy dishes and gently headed over to Lim Yoong's bedroom. But, just as she arrived at the doorway, she spotted Lim Yoong trying to change the bandages on his wound. That's when she saw the frightening hole on his stomach. It was a bullet wound.

This was the first time that Seohyun had come in close contact to something like this.

"This was an accident. But, I saved four people."

Seohyun didn't know why Lim Yoong was explaining this to her, but she couldn't help but listen, "Go have some food. I'm going to go home."

"I'll take you..."

"Forget it, you should focus on your recovery."

Lim Yoong nodded and did not insist.

So, Seohyun breathed a sigh of relief and left the villa. She then got into her car and drove straight home. Her instincts were telling her that this man was too dangerous.

"Oolala, someone went out for an entire afternoon. What did you do?" Wendy asked as she appeared behind Seohyun.

Seohyun responded by rolling her eyes tiredly.

If this was Lee Young-Min, she would have avoided him without hesitation. But, for some reason, when it came to Lim Yoong, she wanted to avoid him, yet she also wanted to be close to him at the same time.

Was she possessed?!

...

Now that Luo Sheng's matter was resolved, Tiffany returned her focus to the preparation of her sci-fi film. But, because she had invested into post production, there were a lot of difficulties that she had to face. First of all, the technicalities behind post production was already a challenge. But, Qiao Sen remained confident and was ready to tackle it head on.

"The script is ready," Qiao Sen said as he handed some documents to Tiffany. "This is a summarized version."

"As for the actors, I was hoping you could be a part of the cast. I believe in your approach and acting ability..."

Tiffany received the documents with complex emotions, "I have no plans to act..."

"I know. But, I still wanted to give it a try and suggest it to you," Qiao Sen shrugged. "What a shame, what a real shame."

Tiffany fell silent and contemplated for a few seconds, but she stuck to her original decision, "I can help you select the most suitable actors."

"No. They aren't you. I really hope you can reconsider."

Tiffany held onto the script, but she did not open it. She was afraid that if she opened it, she would not be able to close it back up.

Could she still act?

Tiffany was filled with hesitation. After returning home, she placed the script on her desk and stared at it in a daze. But, she had already made her decision in the past. So, she shouldn't regret it.

When Taeyeon returned home, he saw Tiffany sitting on the sofa staring at the script in a daze.

She may have locked away the actress inside of her, but, sooner or later, she was going to be awoken.

Did that mean Taeyeon was about to be a manager again?

"Since you can't seem to let go of it, why are you forcing yourself to give up on your identity as an actress?" Taeyeon said as he flipped through the summarized script. "I know you still want to act."

"But, I have a better candidate in mind. I want Irene to take the role," Tiffany replied. "Sci-fi films contain a lot of action scenes. So, I think her rate of completion will be a lot better than mine."

"But, I want to see you act more," Taeyeon said with seriousness as he looked at Tiffany.

"Even if you want it, there's nothing I can do," Tiffany said with a deeper meaning. She then looked down at her stomach, "I could force myself, but the little one in my stomach won't allow it."

"Huh?" Taeyeon froze in shock, not quite understanding what she had just said.

"Although it's not 100% confirmed yet, my stomach feels the same as when I was carrying the two rascals. Plus, I haven't had my period for two months now," Tiffany smiled. 

"It's been a busy couple of days. I was waiting for some downtime to visit the hospital with you for an examination. Mr. Kim, would you be willing to go with me?"

"I know you were very strict with contraception because you didn't want me to suffer again, but accidents can always happen..."

Taeyeon walked over to Tiffany and lifted her off the sofa. Without wasting any time, he headed straight for the door, "Let's go now."

"Hey, if we don't make proper arrangements first, we may end up causing a commotion," Tiffany quickly rejected.

"If my daughter wants to come to this world, why can't she cause a commotion? I don't care."

"How do you know it's going to be a daughter?" Tiffany asked as she hooked her arms around his neck.

"I can feel it," Taeyeon replied before he carried her to the car and placed her in the passenger's seat. However, he did not rush to start the car. Instead, he leaned over and said apologetically, "I promised I wouldn't let you suffer the pain of pregnancy again."

"But, I'm more than willing to give birth to another little angel for you," Tiffany replied. "She is going to be a cheerful little girl that knows how to fight for your affection with her cute tricks."

Taeyeon reached out his hand and gently touched the ends of Tiffany's hair before he placed a kiss on her forehead, "You seem to always present me with miracles. Before meeting you, I never imagined that I'd have such happy marriage, a wife that I deeply love and three adorable children."

"And now, you have all of it," Tiffany held onto Taeyeon's hand and rubbed her cheek against the back of it. "Let's go, we should head for the hospital."

Tiffany had been occupied with Luo Sheng's matter over the past few days. Under normal circumstances, she would have already done her examination. But, because Luo Sheng's matter had not been resolved, her mind couldn't seem to focus.

Soon, the couple arrived at the hospital. On the way there, Taeyeon had already called Sooyoung to make arrangements. So, the hospital at this moment was relatively quiet.

Sooyoung waited for the couple to arrive, not quite sure of the situation. As he watched Taeyeon carry Tiffany into the hospital, he immediately asked, "What's wrong with the Madam?"

Taeyeon did not answer Sooyoung's question, he simply instructed, "Wait outside."

Tiffany entered the obstetrics and gynecology ward and underwent a series of tests. In the end, the couple received news that Tiffany was already 7 weeks pregnant and that her pregnancy was doing well.

Although it wasn't their first time being parents, the feeling this time was different to when Tiffany carried the twins.

Because both Taeyeon and Tiffany could sense that their child was going to be a girl.

Just the thought of the little creature crawling around on his lap made Taeyeon's handsome face soften. At the same time, Tiffany felt like she had made a new love rival as well as a little helper. "As a child, my life was quite tough and I did not receive much love. From now on, I will definitely shower my daughter with love."

"I can help her tie her hair and I can teach her how to be in a relationship. But, I definitely won't give you to her."

Taeyeon hugged Tiffany tightly and the couple remained silent for quite some time.

"You're not going to object to my suggestion of making Irene the female lead anymore, right?" Tiffany held back a smile.

The new film was called 'Purgatory', a sci-fi blockbuster that would be filled with suspense and multiple fight scenes. According to Tiffany's current condition, this would definitely be too much for her.

Especially since, the female lead was the main protagonist in the entire film.

"Don't tire yourself too much."

"Let's keep this pregnancy low key. Don't tell anyone about it for now. I don't want to make a huge fuss."

"You're the boss," Taeyeon said gently with a nod.

After the couple were done at the hospital, Taeyeon carried Tiffany out. However, he did not give Sooyoung an explanation. Of course, Sooyoung wasn't stupid, he could roughly guess what was going on. But, he was aware that this was Taeyeon's private matter, so he knew he couldn't go around talking about it.

After returning home, Taeyeon placed Tiffany onto their bed and rubbed his warm hands across her heated body. Of course, he couldn't feel a thing because his mind was elsewhere.

"I have no way of telling you how much I love you. All I can say is that I will become a great father for our three rascals."

"Yes, I know," Tiffany nodded. "I know that your love for me is ever-growing because I feel the same way."

Deeply loving someone meant taking the other person into consideration when doing things and not just thinking of oneself.

"Tae...I am about to become a mother again."

...

As Tiffany was pregnant, Taeyeon obediently followed Tiffany's suggestion and passed the script to Irene. He then met with Suho and briefly explained what Tiffany was currently working on.

Suho was stunned by the news. He knew that Tiffany had invited Qiao Sen back to Seoul, but he didn't know that she was planning to film a top quality sci-fi on the national level.

Everyone knew how difficult this was.

Suho also knew that post production had to be truly skillful.

"OK, I'll bring Irene to see Qiao Sen when the time is right."

Actually, Suho wasn't that confident about taking on a film like this. After all, Irene wasn't a big shot, but she had a considerable amount of fame, what if partaking in this film changed the way that people judged her...

The thought of a high quality sci-fi film didn't seem very promising.

Yet, he particularly trusted Tiffany.

After Irene heard about the film, she straightforwardly responded, "Accept it. I don't understand why you are so pessimistic. I think this is a great opportunity."

"Look, Qiao Sen is obsessed with sci-fi films and Fany unnie is an extremely serious person. How bad could their collaboration be?"

"This is like a gift from God. Think about it. If they actually succeed, my status is going to skyrocket."

After hearing this, Suho analyzed the situation and realized that Irene was right, "Great, you've successfully convinced me. But, you need to know that working on this film will be very tough."

"No matter how tough it is, it won't be as bad as when I was a stunt double, right? Don't worry, do you think something like this would worry me?" Irene asked in an unfazed manner. "It actually sounds quite exciting."

"But, I have a question. Why isn't Fany unnie taking the role herself?"

This was also a question that Suho wanted to ask.

"Perhaps she hasn't recovered from the incident with Xu Xin. Or perhaps, she has other plans. Don't make random speculations."

"By the way, it's still going to be difficult to get past the director."

Irene looked at Suho and scoffed, "Although I can't pull off every character like Fany unnie can, at least I'm hardworking and dedicated."

As expected, Qiao Sen ended up rejecting Irene. He had already seen all the information about Irene that Tiffany had given him, but he felt that she was too young and wasn't suited to their film.

Even when Suho and Irene appeared outside his office door, Qiao Sen still said the same thing to Tiffany, "I still feel you are the most suitable. Why don't you recommend someone else to me? Based on your current performance, I'm not very satisfied."

"You should give Irene a chance to audition," Tiffany requested.

"I originally agreed to a fresh start because I was moved by your acting..." Qiao Sen was persistent, "I honestly don't think she's suitable."

"I've always known that Director Qiao Sen is extremely strict. After today's experience, I've realized that you are indeed far from average," Suho said after realizing that Tiffany hadn't made any progress. "Tell me what she's lacking and we can transform her into a suitable actress."

Qiao Sen glanced at Tiffany before he turned back to look at Suho, "I'm sorry, but I can't let an actress that still requires training to partake in my film. I just can't."

"So, before we decide on an actress, I'm going to go home and wait for you to find someone suitable before I return." After speaking, Qiao Sen left the office without giving Irene the slightest chance.

But, Irene and Suho weren't angry as they turned to Tiffany and shrugged their shoulders, "I guess, you're destined to take the role."

"But, I honestly can't do it," Tiffany shook her head helplessly.

"Is it because of Xu Xin?"

"It's because I'm pregnant again," Tiffany said as she pointed to her stomach.

"Then I guess there's no way around it..." Suho laughed. "However, I have a suggestion that I don't think Director Qian will reject. Why don't we get President Kim to take the role. I've read through the script. Although it is originally a female role, men ultimately run the world."

"Previously, when you were an actress, President Kim supported you behind-the-scenes​. So, why can't the two of you swap roles this time?"

"It's still considered as a mutual benefit."

"Suho has said a lot today. But these last words were the most realistic," Irene agreed with Suho's suggestion. "Everyone has witnessed both of you act. I'm sure Director Qiao Sen won't reject this."

Tiffany took a deep breath and was suddenly put in a difficult position.

After returning home, she explained Suho's idea to Taeyeon. But...she didn't want Taeyeon to work so hard. He already had enough on his table with Crown Empire and taking care of the kids. How was he to have enough energy for acting as well?

Taeyeon did not say a word, but it was clear what he was thinking.

"Actually, Tae..." Tiffany said emotionally, "I want you to be a part of my creation, just like how your creation involved my efforts."

"OK, that's all I needed to hear," Taeyeon replied.

"But..."

"Don't think about it too much...Get some rest," Taeyeon said, "Unless you have a better idea."

Tiffany clearly knew that there wasn't.

"I can play the role of a superhero. When the kids grow up and understand things, they will be proud of their father."

For some reason, Tiffany felt that Taeyeon had softened a lot after becoming a father. Plus, he had made a lot of sacrifices for her and their kids.

Afterwards, Tiffany called Qiao Sen to tell him about this. Qiao Sen was quite surprised to hear that Taeyeon could act. But,
