Seeming to be aware of Li Linlin’s thoughts, Guen never took the initiative to mention Chen Yiran to Li Linlin again. The two chatted while eating. This was the third time Li Linlin had met with a male guest so she was more proficient in doing business and could easily find topics to talk with Guen.

The two of them added each other on WeChat and started discussing tomorrow’s date. While making suggestions, Guen looked at Li Linlin’s Moments. The latest photos she posted where of Xiao Chaichai.

Guen’s fingers paused and he asked, “Is this your puppy?”

Li Linlin saw that he was asking about Xiao Chaichai, so she only told him roughly, “It’s my friend’s. I’m taking care of the puppy since he’s away.”

“Oh.” Guen smiled and nodded. He put down his phone and continued planning their itinerary with Li Linlin.

In the evening, the two checked into the hotel arranged by the program group. Guen gave a small interview and after returning to his room, he made a phone call in the bathroom.

There were cameras installed in the room but not in the bathroom.

The call was quickly answered but before the other party could speak, Guen said, “Chen Yiran is indeed out of the country.”

The other party asked, “Is that information reliable?”

“It should be. He left his dog to someone else.”

There was another silence on the other side. “You even investigated his dog?”

Guen laughed before saying, “He changed his profile picture on WeChat and many people have noticed it, not just me. President Chen is always meticulous with work but he’s been quite abnormal this period of time.”

The other party said, “If he isn’t abnormal, how can he participate in a dating show?”

When he heard that Chen Yiran went to participate in a dating show, his jaw almost dropped to the ground, but after his own boss also went to participate in the same show, he felt that integrating into the business circle seemed to be increasingly difficult.

The big bosses were making unconventional moves.

“In any case, what Huachuang said today is most likely to deceive us. He must have received some news, that’s why he’s so anxious to go abroad. Tell our people to pay attention.”

“Understood. Do we need to find a way to get Chen Yiran back to the country? It’s difficult to advance our project if he stays abroad.” It’s not that he’s increasing their opponents’ confidence while undermining their own prestige, but he had seen Chen Yiran’s skill before and it’s quite difficult to pull any tricks under his nose.

“It’s certainly best for him to come back.” Guen thought for a while and then said, “I’ll think of a way.”

“Alright.”

After talking on the phone, Guen came out of the bathroom as if nothing had happened.

As everyone know, 《Let’s Fall in Love》 has three initial pair of guests. After the show started, they were divided into three routes. Li Linlin and Du Yanwei were assigned in A City while the remaining two pairs of guests went to other places. Now with the challenger guests, the main plot remained the same, and Li Linlin’s date schedule was still in A City.

The original arrangement of the program group was also based on the consideration that Li Linlin was still in school, so that it would be more convenient for her to go study. Although Li Linlin complained a lot about the program group, she felt that this was still very humane.

City A wasn’t a tourist city in the traditional sense and there were only a few scenic spots. Li Linlin had already spent most of her first few dates with the other male guests there, so for her and Guen’s date, the two of them didn’t pick to go to any of those anymore, but went to visit an orphanage instead.

This suggestion was made by Guen. He seemed to be acquainted with the director of the orphanage and Li Linlin heard that the latter said a lot of good things about Guen.

She felt that President Gu was really trying too hard. Actually, there would be no additional male guests after him. No matter whether President Gu was good or bad, she would partner with him until the end.

However, seeing how children in the orphanage were no stranger to Guen, she assumed he must have come to visit on a regular basis.

The two spent a day playing with the children and time passed quickly. Li Linlin thought that regardless of whether Guen was just putting on a show or not, he still did something meaningful.

After returning to the hotel, the two of them had a small interview alone to give some of their opinions on that day’s date, which would later be edited into the show. Li Linlin haven’t had dinner yet and wanted to slack off, but considering how much money the program group was paying her, she persisted until the last minute.

While they were being interviewed, Chen Yiran, who was far away from home, had already started a new day of work. The reason he was so anxious to leave the country was because there’s a problem with one of the company’s foreign project. Everyone was waiting for him to take charge of the overall situation. He hardly rested during these two days and his only leisure activity was to look at the photos of Xiao Chaichai posted by Li Linlin on WeChat Moments.

She would post every day, as if to specifically let him see—— Although the background of the photos weren’t at Yinwan at all, but the large villa over at Lize Park.

He heard from Assistant Wu that she had been recording variety shows for the past two days, so she must have left Xiao Chaichai with Li Shen.

Chen Yiran had never thought of keeping a pet before. He knew he didn’t have much time to take care of it. This time he was raising Xiao Chaichai entirely for Li Linlin. But unexpectedly, after not seeing it for two days, he actually missed the little pup, and probably someone as well……

He looked at the pictures of Li Linlin saved on his phone, thinking that she should also post more selfies.

“President Chen.” Assistant Wu knocked on his office door to remind him that it was time for a meeting. Chen Yiran nodded before he could speak, put away his phone and stood up. Assistant Wu followed beside him, hesitating to speak several times.

Chen Yiran frowned as he kept walking. “If you have anything to say, just say it.”

Assistant Wu said, “It’s like this, President Chen, I have people keep an eye on the dating show for me. Today, they said that Little Sister Linlin’s new partner is Guen.”

Chen Yiran’s footsteps finally paused and he stopped to look at Assistant Wu. “Guen?”

“Yes, Xinchen’s Guen.” It was for this reason that assistant Wu hesitated. “President Chen, do you think he deliberately approached Little Sister Linlin after knowing that you were on that dating show?”

Chen Yiran frowned and remained silent. He did act a bit louder this time by participating in a dating show, but what had he done in the past few years that weren’t watched by a whole bunch of people?

“Send more people to keep an eye. Let me know as soon as anything happens.”

“Yes, President Chen.” Assistant Wu had a bad feeling. They hadn’t dealt with Guen many times but the other party definitely couldn’t be called a decent person. He was craftier than anyone else.

Assistant Wu was afraid that the other party would target Little Sister Linlin and use her to contain Chen Yiran.

While Chen Yiran was taking a break from work, he looked through the information sent by Assistant Wu. They were all behind-the-scenes shots taken by people from the program group. The man in the photo was indeed Guen. He and Li Linlin were happily playing with a group of children.

Chen Yiran’s brows wrinkled again. After two days of intense work, he didn’t even have time to get over jet lag, and his head kept aching faintly. He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples before taking a painkiller.

“President Chen.” Assistant Wu ran into Chen Yiran’s office in a hurry, not even bothering to knock on the door. Chen Yiran glanced at him and put down the water glass in his hand. “Isn’t there still a few minutes until the meeting?”

“No, it’s Little Sister Linlin—” Assistant Wu was feeling unsettled all day and indeed, something really happened. “Little Sister Linlin had a car accident!”

Chen Yiran’s mind went blank for a moment, and then he stood up violently from the chair. “When did it happen? Is it serious? How’s her situation?”

“I heard that the incident happened on their way out of the hotel. All major domestic media are reporting on it right now. I contacted the two assistants but they were in the car at that time as well and were also injured.” Assistant Wu was talking fast and Chen Yiran’s expression sank even more with his words.

“Have you contacted her manager?”

“Yes, but the call can’t get through.”

Chen Yiran picked up his phone and dialed Chen Xi’s number, however, there was also no answer.

He was frowning as he said to Assistant Wu across from him, “I’m going back, make the arrangements.”

Although his decision wasn’t surprising to Assistant Wu at all, as Chen Yiran’s assistant, he felt that he still had an obligation to remind his boss, “But the work here……”

“I’ll arrange the work myself.”

Assistant Wu pursed his lips. “There’s a possibility that Xinchen is involve with this matter to get you to return……”

“That’s why I have to go back. If I don’t, they might do something to Linlin again.”

“……” Assistant Wu didn’t continue to argue with Chen Yiran and could only honestly help him arrange his return trip. While he was dealing with the matter of returning to the country, Chen Yiran also left and called in all the senior management of the group to hold an emergency meeting. He even made a special video call to his father, who was on leave at home, to get him to do some work.

He arranged the succeeding work and when Assistant Wu’s side was ready, Chen Yiran didn’t waste a moment and embarked on the journey home.

At A City’s Central Hospital, Li Linlin’s head was wrapped in gauze and she was leaning on the hospital bed while eating fruits. “You don’t know how thrilling it was at that time. Have you seen the movie speed? That’s what it felt like! Our car crashed into the guardrail with a bang!”

Chen Xi: “……”

Wu Hui: “……”

No, you sound pretty proud.

“I suddenly remembered something.” Yu Wan said while standing in the ward. “Ah Shen had been in a car accident before and crashed into a tree. The situation at that time was similar to what you’re experiencing now. There were overwhelming media reports.”

Li Shen: “……”

“You’re truly father and daughter.”

Li Linlin: “……”

Li Linlin coughed and asked several people in the ward, “Where are Xiao Xi and Xiaoxiao? Are they seriously hurt?”

Wu Hui said, “They’re about the same as you. They also suffered minor injuries but Xiao Xi was scared to death. Just now, she wanted to come over and apologize to you.”

Xiao Xi was the one driving the car that day. Although she wasn’t responsible for the accident but the drunk driver of the car in front them, it ultimately happened while she was driving, so her spirit as well as her professional life suffered a great damaged.

Li Linlin waved her hand and said, “This can’t be blamed on her so don’t scold her. It’s not easy for a young girl to work. We’re all considered to be close friends now.”

Wu Hui said coolly from the side, “Even if we don’t scold her, President Chen isn’t as easy to talk to.”

Right, she still remembered the scene when Chen Yiran said he wanted to fire her!

Li Linlin also remembered that Xiao Xi and Xiaoxiao were originally from Shengteng Entertainment. It was Chen Yiran who sent them over as her assistants. Now that such a big incident happened, even though she wasn’t seriously injured, if Chen Yiran knew about it, he would most likely fire them.

“Fortunately, President Chen is out of the country.”

As soon as Li Linlin said this sentence, Chen Yiran opened the door of the ward and walked in.
