Chen Yiran’s bathrobe had no buttons, only a belt tied around the waist, which was only loosely tied in a knot and looked like it could easily unravel.

Li Linlin was instantly frightened to move. If his bathrobe really broke loose, it would be difficult to end the matter.

When Chen Yiran saw that she had calm down, he let go of her hand. But just as he was about to speak, Li Linlin ran out like a rabbit sprinting.

Chen Yiran: “……”

The sound of the door closing quickly came from outside. Chen Yiran stood in place for a while, lost in thought, then he glanced sideways at the ladies underwear on the surface of the bed.

Did she come to get it?

———pr

Li Linlin did come to pick up things that she might have left. However, she didn’t expect that Chen Yiran would move in and take a bath comfortably?

She was surprised at the time and didn’t pay attention. Thinking about it now, she seemed to have seen her underwear on the bed????

It’s obvious that Chen Yiran took it out of the closet. What kind of pervert was he?!

Li Linlin stood at the elevator door in a dilemma. She wanted to go back and take the thing out but she didn’t want to meet Chen Yiran again. However, she couldn’t leave her things there forever…… Forget it, she would take it once Chen Yiran went to work tomorrow.

Inside the house, Chen Yiran was likewise pondering on what to do with Li Linlin’s thing. She should come back to get it again, but someone would come to clean the house tomorrow and he couldn’t just leave it outside for people to see.

He thought for a while before putting the underwear back into the closet. He also specifically instructed Assistant Wu not to let the people cleaning tomorrow touch his closet.

The next day, Li Linlin went downstairs to try and sneak in at Chen Yiran’s house to get the thing back while he was at work. Unexpectedly, as soon as she came downstairs, she found that the door was open and that there were many staff in uniforms cleaning inside

Li Linlin stood at the door and peeked in. With such a lively situation, did Chen Yiran plan to stay there permanently?

She inadvertently frowned. There were so many people inside. How would she get it out? She could only wait until another day.

When she returned upstairs, Chen Xi and Wu Hui were sitting at the dining table having breakfast. Seeing her coming back from outside, Chen Xi called out to her, “Linlin, what did you do so early in the morning?”

Li Linlin walked over to the dining table and sat down while sighing. “I originally wanted to pick up something I’ve left downstairs but I didn’t expect that it’s being cleaned.”

Chen Xi took a bite of bread and nodded. “Oh, my brother is a bit of a germaphobe. It’s normal for him to find someone to clean the house after we moved out.”

“No.” Li Linlin looked at her. “He has brought his entire luggage over. He’s planning to stay at Yinwan!”

“Pfft, cough.” Chen Xi choked on the bread in her mouth and hurriedly covered it as she coughed. “You’re kidding.”

“It’s true!”

“……” The corners of Chen Xi’s mouth twitched. “Did he come over to monitor us because he saw that we’re unwilling to move out of here?”

“Ah, no way?” Wu Hui panicked when she heard what Chen Xi said. “We won’t see him often in the future, right?”

She! Doesn’t! Want! Too! President Chen’s presence was even more undesirable than that of a class teacher!

“Don’t worry, he’s usually very busy with work so he shouldn’t come to visit every day.” Chen Xi patted Wu Hui’s shoulder in reassurance. “But in the future, whenever we have a get together with the guys downstairs to sing, we have to pick the time when he’s not around.”

“Who is he to tell us what to do? We’re all adults. Can’t we have a life of our own?” Li Linlin asked Chen Xi back.

Chen Xi looked at her, put down the milk in her hand, and sighed. “I didn’t know you’re so rebellious, Linlin.”

“It’s not that I’m rebellious, it’s that you listen to him too much.” Li Linlin reached for a piece of bread and took a bite. “Is everything he says right? We can’t just follow his every word.”

“But he’ll tell our parents.” Chen Xi said.

Li Linlin: “……”

Heh!

“Alright, leave the matter aside. We have to go to Youxian Mountain to record the show today so get ready after eating.” Wu Hui urged from the side. “Oh, and also, a reality show contacted me two days ago. They want to invite you.”

Li Linlin looked at Wu Hui while eating. “What kind of reality show?”

“A dating show. It has aired for a season and has a good reputation. But I think you’re main focus right now is film and drama, so you don’t need to appear in too many shows.”

Li Linlin said, “Then why are you so conflicted?”

Wu Hui sighed and said, “Because they’re offering a lot.”

Li Linlin was famous right now and had a good reputation. 《A Meal in the Woods》 was also popular to fans so several show was coming to find Li Linlin. Wu Hui sifted through them and felt that this dating show was of the best quality. However, Linlin was still young and wasn’t in a hurry to find a partner…… it’s just that they’re really offering a lot.

“Then go for it.” Li Linlin said, “But first ask who the male guests are. They don’t have to be popular, but they must be handsome.”

“……Let me find out.”

When Li Linlin set out for Youxian Mountain, Chen Yiran’s house was finally tidied up after a day of cleaning. Assistant Wu made a special call to report to Chen Yiran and sent him a short video to check.

“En, not bad.” Chen Yiran answered simply after watching the video.

Assistant Wu asked him on the other end of the phone, “Does the password of the door lock need to be changed?”

“No need.” Chen Yiran said without even thinking. “Just leave it be.”

“Yes, President Chen.”

“By the way, no one touch my closet, right?”

“No, I’ve been watching from the side while the master bedroom is being cleaned.”

“Alright. You can go back to the company first.”

“Yes, President Chen.” Assistant Wu hung up the phone and closed the door when he left.

After Chen Yiran returned home, he opened the closet and took a look inside. Li Linlin’s underwear was still in the same place. No one had touched it and she also didn’t come to get it. Chen Yiran fell into thought. He guessed that if Li Linlin wanted to come over, she would definitely pick a time when he wasn’t around. What if she couldn’t find it there? However, if he placed it in a conspicuous place, he would look like a pervert.

Then how about just leaving it where she originally placed it? She would look for it in that place first. Chen Yiran thought so and closed the closet door.

It had been two days since he moved to Yinwan. He paid attention to the movements on the other house across from him every night, however, there weren’t any. He also thought about going up and talking with the girls, but considering Li Linlin’s attitude towards him, he decided to wait for her to calm down for a few more days.

On the third night, Chen Yiran headed for the convenience store downstairs to buy some daily necessities wearing home clothes.

The elevator came up from the first floor and happened to stop on the 23rd floor. Chen Yiran inadvertently frowned, not really wanting to encounter the people living next door.

After the elevator door opened, he saw Lu Ruizhou who lived opposite, but what was even worse was that Li Linlin was beside the other person.

The two of them seemed to have just finished shopping at the convenience store downstairs. One was holding a box of milk while the other was carrying a bag of snacks. They looked like a young couple going to the supermarket.

This idea made Chen Yiran feel vaguely unhappy. His eyes shifted from Lu Ruizhou to Li Linlin, and he asked her with a stern face, “Why are you together?”

“Why can’t we be together?” Li Linlin and Lu Ruizhou both walked out of the elevator, seemingly not too keen on talking to him. Chen Yiran saw that she was going to go next door and immediately went forward to stop them. “Where are you going?”

Li Linlin looked up at him and grinned. “I’m visiting a friend’s house.”

“Friend?” Chen Yiran sneered. “When did you become friends?”

“I don’t need to report to you whenever I make friends. You didn’t report to me when you went on a blind date.” Speaking of which, Li Linlin suddenly surveyed him and asked, “Why are you staying at home every day? Don’t you have to go out on dates or something?”

“Date?” This word pierced President Chen’s sensitive nerves. “Do you mean you two are dating?”

“……” Li Linlin curled her lips and she said to Lu Ruizhou, “Let’s go, Lu Ruizhou. We have a generation gap with him.”

“En.” Lu Ruizhou nodded at her and they walked around Chen Yiran.

“……” Chen Yiran was silent for a moment. He wanted to stop Li Linlin but the door opposite opened. A little boy poked his head out and when he saw Li Linlin and Lu Ruizhou outside, he happily said, “Brother, Sister Linlin, you’re finally back! Let me see what delicious food you bought.”

“All you think about is eating all day.” Lu Ruizhou handed him the box of milk and told him, “Put the milk away yourself.”

Lu Yuxuan looked at the box of milk and seemed a bit disdainful. “Why did you buy this again? Oh, I’m tired of drinking this. Can you change the flavor next time?”

“Then go buy it yourself.” Lu Ruizhou put on his slippers and took the snacks from Li Linlin’s hand. “Let me.”

Chen Yiran saw Li Linlin was about to change her shoes and enter the other house, so he quickly stepped forward and called out to her, “Linlin, there’s something I need to talk to you about.”

Li Linlin looked back at him. “What is it?”

Chen Yiran didn’t answer but Lu Ruizhou glanced at him and sensibly walked into the house. “I’ll go and put the things away first.”

Lu Yuxuan watched Lu Ruizhou walk into the living room, but he himself remained lazily at the door, looking at both Chen Yiran and Li Linlin.

Chen Yiran glanced at him and told Li Linlin, “It’s not convenient to talk here. Come with me.”

Before Li Linlin could say anything, Lu Yuxuan pulled on her clothes and started acting coquettishly. “Sister Linlin, you promised to help me with my homework today. My brothers aren’t as good at studying as you. If you don’t teach me, no one can.”

Li Linlin patted his head and told Chen Yiran, “Let’s just talk here. I still need to help Lu Yuxuan with his homework.”

Chen Yiran looked at Lu Yuxuan, who made a provocative face at him in the blind spot of Li Linlin’s line of sight.

Chen Yiran: “……”

“I don’t think he needs any tutoring.”

“No, there’re still so many problems I don’t understand.”

Li Linlin’s phone rang at this time, interrupting what she was about to say. She took it out and took a look. It was Director Tao Ye calling. He probably wanted to tell her about the new developments of the web drama.

“I’ll take the call first.” Li Linlin took a few steps away, turned her back to Chen Yiran and Lu Yuxuan, and answered the phone. As soon as the call was connected, Tao Ye’s excited voice filled her ears, “Teacher Li, the trailer of our drama will be released tonight!”

“O-oh, calm down first, calm down.”

“Let me take a deep breath.” Tao Ye took a deep breath while holding the phone. “I’m just a little nervous, you know?”

“I understand, I understand.”

While Li Linlin chatted with Tao Ye, Chen Yiran and Lu Yuxuan stared at each other. “Kid, what subject do you not know? I can teach you.”

Lu Yuxuan rolled his eyes, obviously looking down on him. “I don’t want you to teach me. I only want Sister Linlin to teach me.”

“Heh.” Chen Yiran sneered, “The fox has finally exposed its tail. You aren’t looking for her to tutor you at all.”

“What is it with you what I’m finding Sister Linlin for, Uncle?”

“……” He finally somewhat understood how Chen Zui felt when he looked at him. “Don’t play smart in front me, I’ve already done these kind of tricks in the past.”

Lu Yuxuan glanced at Chen Yiran, then suddenly burst into tears. The speed at which he shed tears was guaranteed to be beyond the reach of Movie Queen, Lu Siyu.

Chen Yiran was taken aback. Before he could react to the kid’s action, Li Linlin’s voice came from behind, “What happened, Lu Yuxuan?”

As soon as Li Linlin hung up the phone, she heard Lu Yuxuan’s earth-shattering cry. She was so frightened that she quickly came up to comfort him, “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

Lu Yuxuan sniffed pitifully and complained to Li Linlin while shedding tears, “Sister Linlin, this uncle is so mean, he scolded me. Uwah——”

Chen Yiran: “……”

Seeing Lu Yuxuan crying so miserably, Li Linlin turned back angrily and questioned Chen Yiran, “Why are you being mean to a primary school student? Is it an occupational disease of company presidents?”

“……” Chen Yiran’s eyebrows jumped up and he looked at the little kid who was crying with tears. “I’m not even being mean to him. He’s acting since you’re here.”

“Uwah——” Lu Yuxuan cried even more miserably when he heard what Chen Yiran said. “S-sister Linlin, don’t be angry. It’s all my fault, I made Uncle angry. Don’t blame Uncle, uwah——”

Chen Yiran: “……”

Good guy, this was a trick he hadn’t really used before. 🙂
