Chen Yiran’s side was quiet for a while, then his voice came again, “Don’t worry, only you can covet my body.”

Li Linlin: “……”

Who wants to covet a thirty-year-old man? Heh.

“President Chen.” A voice calling Chen Yiran could be heard from the other end of the phone. Chen Yiran whispered a few words to the person and Li Linlin didn’t hear what was said clearly.

“Then continue your review and call me if anything happens.” After talking to the other person, Chen Yiran told Li Linlin.

Li Linlin guessed that he was probably swamped with work at the moment so she didn’t waste his time any longer. “Got it, go ahead and do your work. By the way, do you still have time to take care of Xiao Chaichai?”

Chen Yiran chuckled before saying, “Don’t worry, the matter isn’t that serious. I will go home after work.”

“That’s good.” Only then did Li Linlin hang up the phone with peace of mind.

When Fu Angsi saw that Chen Yiran finally put down the phone, he groaned. “If I had known it would come to this, I wouldn’t have bothered in the first place. Because you aren’t open for ‘business’ anymore, Movie Queen Lu is quitting.”

They had just received the message from Shengteng saying that Lu Siyu had proposed to terminate her contract with them and was already in the process of doing so. It had only been less than a year since the contract was signed, and before it even warmed up, the person had flew away.

“It doesn’t matter. Shengteng doesn’t have to have Lu Siyu.”

Fu Angsi snorted from the side. “You old man can stand and talk without back pain.”

Chen Yiran looked sideways at him. “I can stand and talk without back pain? Who does Lu Siyu ask to accompany her when she has an event?”

“Fine.” Fu Angsi said, “You’re selling your skills, not your body. Movie Queen Lu is being rude.”

Chen Yiran stopped arguing with him and he left the matter of Lu Siyu’s contract termination to Shengteng’s legal department. Their main focus was still acquiring new clients. “It’s not like it’s impossible to negotiate our business without Lu Siyu.”

Guen managed to get Lu Siyu but it could only be described as finding a shortcut. It didn’t mean that everything was a done deal as long as Lu Siyu’s there.

“Call everyone for a meeting, I still have to prepare to get off work.”

Fu Angsi: “……”

Chen Yiran rushed to finalize the new plan and everyone else on the project immediately went to execute it, then he came home from work to feed the dog on time.

He even took photos and sent them to Li Linlin.

Li Linlin was eating her own melon on Weibo. After her ‘relationship’ with Chen Yiran came out, its popularity increased instead of falling as the day went by. Even the CP’s super topic rose to the top three.

Some netizens were making a fuss about how she could date when she’s so young, some netizens excitedly exclaimed how the CP they ship had come true, and some netizens were even @’ing Li Shen, asking him what he thought of Li Linlin’s relationship.

Li Linlin: “……”

Netizens really don’t mind watching the excitement!

After the incident broke out that day, Li Shen immediately called Li Linlin and asked her what was going on. When Li Linlin denied that she was in a relationship with Chen Yiran, Li Shen instantly became even more irritable. “Then why did he kiss you?!”

Li Linlin was silent for a moment before telling him, “That’s the paparazzi making the situation appear ambiguous. He’s just helping me fasten my seat belt.”

Li Shen: “……”

Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?

Li Linlin’s answer was basically a half-hearted admission that she was with Chen Yiran. Even worse, she still had feelings for him. Thinking of this, Li Shen was itching to post on Weibo that he opposed the relationship.

Li Linlin was running around in the melon field when she saw the photo Chen Yiran sent her. He really came home on time to feed the dog.

【Linlin: By the way, remember to clean your dog’s teeth regularly.】

【Chen Yiran: I know.】

【Chen Yiran: Send me a copy of your final exam schedule so that I can arrange for someone to escort you to school.】

When he first proposed the idea, Li Linlin thought there was no need to bother, but after browsing Weibo all afternoon and seeing her studio surrounded by paparazzi, she felt that it was indeed necessary.

She sent her schedule to Chen Yiran and asked him, 【There seems to be a lot of reporters downstairs in your company as well. How did you manage to come out today?】

【Chen Yiran: I have bodyguards with me and the company’s security guards aren’t vegetarians^[1]weak either.】

Li Linlin thought about it and realized that even if there were no reporters around, Chen Yiran would still bring a few bodyguards with him whenever he went out.

She was chatting with Chen Yiran when one of the chat groups suddenly started getting noisy. Li Linlin clicked in and saw that Wu Hui had sent several messages in succession in their small group.

【Wu Hui: Damn, damn.】

【Wu Hui: Lu Siyu terminated her contract with Shenteng!】

【Wu Hui: There are too many melons today!】

【Wu Hui: She also implied that the reason for the termination of the contract was that Shengteng didn’t follow the original agreed upon contract!】

Li Linlin was taken aback for a moment, then skilfully entered Weibo, and sure enough she saw the article 《Lu Siyu Terminated Her Contract》 followed by the word ‘explosive’.

When Lu Siyu signed the contract with Shengteng, there was a lot of fuss. Now that she had terminated her contract with Sheng Teng, it also shocked the entire Weibo. Li Linlin read the essay she posted and her words were indeed hinting to Shengteng’s breach of contract, portraying herself as a victim who had no choice but to go this far.

Li Linlin felt a bit amused when she saw this. If it was an ordinary small artist being mistreated by a management company, then there’s still some credibility. With Lu Siyu’s status in the entertainment industry today, there weren’t many people who could mistreat her.

However, her fans all believed her and comforted the hurt Movie Queen Lu in the comment section. They also called out Shengteng Entertainment and scold fiercely.

Li Linlin shared Lu Siyu’s post with Chen Yiran and sent a melon-eating emoji.

【Linlin: Movie Queen Lu said that you didn’t act according to the contract. Did you sign an agreement to sell your body and then changed your mind halfway, so she quit?】

【Chen Yiran: ……】

【Chen Yiran: You’re thinking too much.】

【Linlin: Your PR department is quite busy today and will probably have to work all night. Give them some consolation.】

【Chen Yiran: ……】

Although Chen Yiran replied to Li Linlin with a row of ellipses, he actually asked Assistant Wu to prepare some consolation for people in the PR department. In all the years Assistant Wu had been with him, this was the first time he had seen him so considerate.

No sooner than the consolation were sent over, Shengteng Entertainment sent a response to the termination of the contract, claiming that the company hadn’t done anything that violated the agreement, and that they had no right and couldn’t handle some of Ms. Lu’s personal demands.

As soon as this statement was issued, it sparked endless speculation among netizens. Lu Siyu and Chen Yiran had previously attended an event together, which was a hot topic. The two were even involved in a scandal.

The Internet has memory. At this moment, everyone connected everything together and quickly deduced their version of the matter―― Lu Siyu’s failed courtship had turn into resentment.

Shengteng Entertainment was under Huachuang Group, and the relationship of Chen Yiran, the legend of Huachuang, with Li Linlin, just broke out that day. Thus Lu Siyu turned around and terminated her contract with Shengteng. The truth must be what they thought!

So the fans, who were still arguing about how Li Linlin could date at such a young age, suddenly changed their tune and exclaimed that Li Linlin was the woman who defeated Movie Queen Lu!

Lu Siyu’s melon inexplicably increased everyone’s interest in Chen Yiran and Li Linlin, and a lot of their connection was also made public. Li Linlin saw that everyone was so convinced that she was in a relationship with Chen Yiran.

Weibo was abuzz all day, and the next morning, Huachuang Group’s official account issued a statement, concisely stating that Chen Yiran was indeed pursuing Li Linlin, and that it was inconvenient to reveal more details about their private life.

Unsurprisingly, the hot search exploded again. Li Linlin was scrolling through Weibo with only one thought in her mind―― If the end of the semester was such a mess, how could she have the mind to study?

Wu Hui quickly forwarded the statement issued by Huachuang Group on the Weibo account of Li Linlin Studio.

【Li Linlin Studio v: Thank you to all netizens and media friends for paying attention to Ms. Li Linlin’s relationship concerns. If there are any new developments, we will take the initiative to report to you all.】

The implication was that everyone should go about their own business, don’t they all have to go to work?

Li Linlin’s personal Weibo was silent. Wu Hui told her that the studio would be the one to step in and she shouldn’t say anything. Li Linlin thought about it. Huachuang talked about Chen Yiran pursuing her and her response would easily make people overthink.

Li Linlin went back to reviewing in between eating melon and two days passed in a flash. The final exam officially began, and Chen Yiran, who had memorized Li Linlin’s exam schedule, sent someone to pick her up on time.

Li Linlin put on a mask and a hat before going out. The injury on her head has basically recovered, but the injured area was obviously missing a small patch of hair. Li Linlin felt that for a long time to come, the hat would have to grow with her.

If that wouldn’t work, she’d go get a hair transplant.

She covered herself tightly and went out. Li Shen was at the door, inspecting the car that came to pick up Li Linlin.

“What’s this?” Li Shen’s voice sounded disapproving. Li Linlin glanced at the black car in front and the two bodyguards by its door and was quiet for a while before saying to Li Shen, “Chen Yiran hired bodyguards to escort me to school for the exams.”

Li Shen snorted. “Is our family unable to afford bodyguards?”

Li Linlin said, “But since someone is spending money, let’s not waste it.”

Li Shen: “……”

Li Linlin got into the car with her schoolbag and went straight from the big villa to the examination venue. It was unknown how the media got a hold of her schedule, they even squatted at the school gate.

They were relatively ostentatious at first, but after being chased away by the school security once, they sneakily hid on the side and waited for an opportunity to make a move. They knew the license plates of all the cars in Li Linlin’s studio, and they even wrote down the license plates of the cars Chen Yiran had driven. As soon as Li Linlin’s car drove over, they started taking pictures in secret.

Imperial University had strict management of vehicles entering and exiting the campus. People need to apply for a special vehicle pass to drive their car inside. Chen Yiran had specially asked someone to apply for the relevant documents for him in advance so when the car arrived at the gate, the driver only need to show the pass to the security guards, which would then had to verify that the person inside was indeed their student Li Linlin before they would be let in.

The window of the car Li Linlin was sitting in was completely dark from the outside, so when they stopped to show their pass, it was the best opportunity for the media to take close-up photos. Li Linlin saw with her own eyes that someone suddenly jumped out, and before her bodyguard and driver could move, the school security was the first to pin the reporters down.

Li Linlin smoothly entered the school. To be honest, in all the time she had made her debut, this was the moment when she felt most deeply that she was a female celebrity.

It’s a little exciting.
