Chen Yiran, who was sitting by the hospital bed and watching Li Linlin eat, was somewhat at a loss when she asked that question.

He coughed slightly. He didn’t answer her directly but said, “Uncle Li already has a problem with me. If I tattle about him in front of you and cause you to have conflict with him, he’ll definitely hate me even more.”

After hearing what he said, Li Linlin looked at him with wide eyes. “Why do you think I will have a conflict with my father because of you? You’re too confident.”

Chen Yiran: “……”

Alright.

He sat on the side and said nothing. Li Linlin finished the whole bowl of porridge by herself and glanced at Chen Yiran. “It tastes pretty good.”

Chen Yiran said obsequiously, “Then I’ll bring it again tomorrow.”

“No need. I’ll just ask my dad to buy it for me.”

Chen Yiran said seriously, “Uncle Li is an international superstar and there are many people watching his movements, so it’s inconvenient for him to do so.”

Li Linlin said, “I think it’s also inconvenient for President Chen. The people watching your movements don’t seem to be any less than my dad’s.”

Chen Yiran: “……”

The ward was quiet for a while. A nurse came over midway to remind Chen Yiran that the visiting time was ending. Chen Yiran looked at the gauze on Li Linlin’s head and thought about letting her rest a little longer. He got up and prepared to leave. “Then I’m leaving. You rest early. I’ll come over to see you tomorrow.”

“Oh.” Li Linlin responded nonchalantly.

After Chen Yiran left, Li Linlin took her mobile phone and sent a message to her mother. 【Mom, did Dad went to find Chen Yiran before?】

Although Chen Yiran didn’t tell her, given his father’s personality, after hearing those things from Wu Hui, he definitely wouldn’t pretend as if nothing happened.

Yu Wan sat on the sofa and glanced at Li Shen who was playing with the dog on the living room carpet, then replied to Li Linlin, 【Did Chen Yiran told you?】

【Linlin: He didn’t. But I know Dad.】

Yu Wan: “……”

Suddenly, she felt like she’s seeing a shadow of herself in Linlin.

【Your father did went to see him once, but he didn’t do anything. He just asked Chen Yiran not to bother you.】

Li Linlin looked at the message sent by her mother and was silent for a moment before replying, 【My dad is indeed an international superstar. Even the president of a multinational group listens to his words. Chen Yiran must be a fan of his.】

Yu Wan: “……”

Linlin was still so energetic, it seemed that she wasn’t really seriously injured.

As if to get this part out of the way, Yu Wan sent a lot of photos of Xiao Chaichai that Li Shen had recently taken. Li Linlin originally thought this tactic was very clumsy, but Xiao Chaichai was just so cute that she was soon wholeheartedly absorbed by the photos.

The next day Wu Hui and Chen Xi came to see Li Linlin early in the morning and brought her some food. While Li Linlin was eating, she listened to Wu Hui chattering in her ear, “The episode President Chen appeared on has aired and the number of the show’s views reached a new high. Many netizens started shipping your CP.”

“Oh, then they’ll be miserable, the CP they’re shipping will meet a BE next episode.” Li Linlin said flatly.

Wu Hui: “……”

She coughed and changed the topic. “There’s also good news. The web drama you invested in will be released tonight.”

This news made Li Linlin stunned for a moment. She had been so busy with her own affairs lately that she had almost forgotten about it. “Oh, that’s indeed good news.”

“The response to the trailer was great. I’m quite optimistic about the drama!”

Li Linlin raised her eyes and glanced at Wu Hui. “That’s not what you said when I first invested.”

“……Really? You remembered it wrong.” Wu Hui said so innocently that even she herself believed it. “By the way, after you were hospitalized, Director Tao came to the hospital and wanted to see you, but he was stopped by President Chen’s bodyguards outside.”

Li Linlin saw the bodyguards Chen Yiran had assigned to her yesterday and felt that Chen Yiran was really better than her father in making a mountain out of a molehill.

“Has Brother Yiran been here today?” Chen Xi asked with a gossipy expression. Being sick was always a good opportunity to develop relationships.

Li Linlin answered, “No. He has so many things to do in the company, how can he have so much time?”

Chen Xi leaned closer to Li Linlin and studied her expression carefully. “Are you feeling a bit regretful?”

“……Why will I be?” Li Linlin turned to Chen Xi. “Can he be more interesting than you guys?”

Chen Xi: “……”

Although he wasn’t as interesting as them, he could do something else.

The two stayed in the ward until noon before leaving. In the afternoon, Li Shen and Yu Wan came to see Li Linlin again. Seeing her reviewing her homework, Li Shen wasn’t happy. “You have stitches on your head, why are you still reading? Who is so ignorant to bring you textbooks? Is it Wu Hui?”

“No, it’s Chen Yiran.”

“……” Li Shen became even more unhappy when he heard Chen Yiran’s name. “It’s fine even if he’s a workaholic, but does he want you to follow his example?”

Li Shen took the book away from Li Linlin’s hands. “Alright, alright, stop reading and rest more.”

Li Linlin snatched the book back. “Don’t you know the final exam is coming soon?”

She turned to look at Yu Wan. “Mom, don’t you think Dad has become more and more talkative recently? Is he too idle without work?”

“I’m talkative?” Li Shen seemed to have been greatly wronged and turned to look at Yu Wan. “She said I’m talkative!”

“……” Yu Wan pulled him up and said to Li Linlin, “We won’t disturb you anymore, take your time reading. We’ll come back tomorrow.”

“Okay. Bye, Mom and Dad.” Li Linlin waved to them.

Li Shen was dragged away by Yu Wan. He still couldn’t get over the fact that Li Linlin called him talkative. “Linlin actually dislikes me for being talkative. It must be Chen Yiran who led her astray.”

“……Can this also be blamed on Chen Yiran?”

“What do you mean by blaming him? It’s definitely his doing!”

Yu Wan raised her eyes and looked at her husband. “I think Linlin is right, you might really be too idle during this time.”

“……” Li Shen was hurt a second time. “Wanwan, do you also think I’m talkative?”

“Compared to before, a little bit.”

Li Shen: “……”

Alright, from now on, he’s going to be a silent and aloof handsome guy. 🙂

Li Linlin read a book alone in the ward for a while, then she took out her mobile phone and browsed Weibo to relax. Today Wu Hui only told her the news about the dating show and web drama, but she didn’t tell her that Li Linlin alone was responsible for half of the trending searches.

……Even when she’s away, the Internet was still full of hot searches about her.

On the first day 《Crescent Moon Blade》 aired, it performed well. Li Linlin went to the streaming website to check it out. She originally wanted to take a look and see its quality and pass the time, but she didn’t expect that she couldn’t stop watching it. The plot was very compact and the production was excellent. It was impossible to tell that it was made by a crew who had a broken funding midway.

When Tao Ye approached her, he told her that because he always pursued perfection when shooting, he had spent more than the budget allowed. She now believed it.

In addition to the script and production, the performances of the actors were also eye-catching. Although they still look relatively young, they were very spiritual and their performances were also remarkable.

When Chen Yiran came, Li Linlin was still watching the drama with gusto. She had already thrown the book aside and didn’t even notice when it fell to the ground.

Chen Yiran picked up the book, looked at the person on the hospital bed and smiled. “You said you would review your homework here, but I think you prefer watching dramas.”

Li Linlin heard his voice and realized someone had come in. She raised her eyes to look at him and pressed the pause button. “You’re here again?”

“I said I would come over and see you again today.” After saying so, as if by magic, a plush toy appeared on Chen Yiran’s hand. “I got it for you on the way. I was afraid that you’ll be bored staying here in the hospital alone, so I brought this to accompany you.”

What he had in his hand was still a stuff toy puppy, but it was different from Marshmallow at home. This time, it was a little native dog. Li Linlin picked up the plush toy, squeezed it with her hands, then looked up at Chen Yiran. “Is this the only move you know? You’re really lacking in skills.”

Chen Yiran’s brows lifted up slightly and he sat down next to her. “Then how about these?”

He picked up a paper bag from his feet and put it on the bedside table. Li Linlin opened it and took a look. It was full of small exquisite snacks inside.

“I’ve check with the doctor, these are all things you can eat.” Chen Yiran took out a box. “Want to try?”

Li Linlin looked at it for a while, then picked out a snack that she liked and ate it. Chen Yiran looked at her and smiled. Picking up the plush toy from earlier, he fiddled with it in his hand. “This one is different from the others. It can also record sound.”

Li Linlin glanced curiously as Chen Yiran found the switch and pressed the record button. “This is how you record. Do you want to give it a try?”

Li Linlin thought for a while, ate the pastry in her hand, then took the toy. She pressed the record button and said, “Hey, Chen Yiran, this big idiot.”

Chen Yiran: “……”

After Li Linlin finished speaking, she even tried the playback function. As long as no one pressed the off button, it would keep repeating the recorded words, so the whole room was filled with “Hey, Chen Yiran, this big idiot.”

Li Linlin couldn’t stop laughing. Chen Yiran took the plush toy and turned it off. “Happy?”

Li Linlin raised the corners of her mouth and said nothing. If she wasn’t in front of Chen Yiran, she wouldn’t have acted in such a manner.

“The car accident has been investigated thoroughly. It should be just an accident, not something instructed by Guen.” Chen Yiran looked at the gauze on Li Linlin’s forehead and couldn’t help but raise his hand to rub the top of her head. “Does the wound still hurt?”

“It’s alright.” Li Linlin somewhat unnaturally tried to avoid his hand. Chen Yiran sighed softly and took his hand back.

Li Linlin subconsciously squeezed the plush toy in her hand and said to Chen Yiran, “Since he didn’t do it, can I be discharged from the hospital?”

Her injury did not require her to stay in the hospital for such a long time. If she could be discharged from the hospital, the ward could be free up for others.

Chen Yiran frowned slightly and thought for a while. Looking at her, he said, “Although he didn’t do it, there’s no guarantee whether he will do anything in the future. You should still stay away from him.”

“I know.”

“Then I’ll help you get discharge tomorrow, is that okay?”

“Hmm.”

“After getting out of the hospital, let’s go to your house to pick up Xiao Chaichai?”

Chen Yiran spoke softly, as if chatting with someone close at hand. Li Linlin’s ears felt inexplicably hot. She averted her eyes, trying to avoid Chen Yiran’s gaze on her. “As long as you’re not afraid of my dad.”
