Zhou Chengyuan calmly lifted his eyelids and looked at Shiyin. His light brown pupils were serene, with a hint of a smile in them. He said slowly, half-jokingly, “Everyone has a love for beauty.”

Shiyin was stunned.

Was he saying she was beautiful?

Shiyin could swear that no girl in the world wouldn’t like to be praised for her beauty.

So, when she heard Zhou Chengyuan say this, Shiyin couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy.

But!

Was she that easy to fool?

Shiyin immediately put on a serious face. She was about to act up, but then she heard Zhou Chengyuan say another sentence, “Especially Shiyin, you’re a girl with both inner and outer beauty. What reason do I have to dislike you?”

Damn it.

Shiyin didn’t expect him to have this line waiting for her. She was completely smitten, with no room to resist. She couldn’t even kick her legs, act cute, or pretend to be unhappy.

Sigh, it’s her fault.

She’s too easy to please.

Zhou Chengyuan carefully observed Shiyin’s micro-expressions, making sure she was happy with his flattery, before suddenly launching into his next move.

“What about Shiyin? Why do you like me, this half-disabled man who’s ten years older than you?”

Shiyin blinked innocently, her words were smooth and convincing, and she said seriously, “Little Uncle, age isn’t a problem, health isn’t the most important thing, true love is the key.”

Zhou Chengyuan raised an eyebrow, “So?”

“So, I don’t care how much older you are than me, I don’t care if you’re healthy or not. I like you, I want to be with you.” Shiyin lied without changing her expression or blinking.

He picked up some food and brought it to her mouth. Shiyin opened her mouth and ate it with enjoyment, looking satisfied.

It’s so good, it’s just different to have someone feed you food in the morning.

So enjoyable!

She, who was easily satisfied, felt in her heart for the nth time that Zhou Chengyuan was a thousand times better than Zhou Siyang.

At least he was incredibly good to his wife, which made her very happy!

The two of them were eating breakfast when the doorbell rang.

Then, Shiyin heard Xiaomeng calling her from outside, “Shiyin! Shiyin, are you in there?”

Shiyin instantly turned to look at Zhou Chengyuan.

The man sat calmly in his seat, with no intention of avoiding her.

Shiyin remembered that he was currently undergoing secret treatment in the eyes of the outside world. So, she grabbed Zhou Chengyuan and stuffed him into the bedroom.

Zhou Chengyuan didn’t let go when she tried to walk out. He pulled Shiyin back, and she fell into his arms unexpectedly. Zhou Chengyuan smelled her hair in her neck and said in a low voice, “Am I so unbearable to look at?”

Shiyin was shocked.

Wasn’t she thinking of him?

And it was he who said he wanted to keep it a secret! This big pig’s hoof is so unreasonable!

She tilted her head, avoiding the hot air from his breath, and said with a hint of grievance, “You said you wanted to keep your things a secret. Then I can only hide you!”

Zhou Chengyuan chuckled, took a bite of her earlobe, and Shiyin shuddered.

Xiaomeng was still knocking on the door outside. Shiyin felt like she was having an affair, making her blush.

Fortunately, Zhou Chengyuan didn’t make things too difficult for her. Shiyin quickly pushed him away, stood up, and opened the door. As she walked towards the door, she saw two sets of chopsticks on the table. She immediately ran over and hid Zhou Chengyuan’s set.

It’s really too damn much like an affair, qwq.

After Shiyin tidied up her clothes, brushed her hair, and made sure everything was perfect, she opened the door.

Then, Shiyin was embraced by Xiaomeng.

Xiaomeng cried and comforted Shiyin that everything would be fine. Shiyin could only cooperate and act, but in her heart, ten thousand grass-mud horses were galloping past.

What kind of life is this?

She’s acting all the time, facing different people every day. She’s so tired!

Meng Ran didn’t speak at first. After putting Shiyin’s suitcase aside, she said, “I didn’t expect Zhou Chengyuan to still be thinking about you even though he’s seriously ill. He even moved your room to the presidential suite. If we hadn’t happened to see the service staff packing your luggage this morning, we wouldn’t have known you moved here last night.”

Shiyin considered that there might be someone listening behind the wall, so she flattered him, “Yes, Little Uncle always puts me first.”

Then, Shiyin pretended to be heartbroken and pursed her lips, “I really like him so much.” That’s a lie.

Meng Ran patted her shoulder, “If you want to see him, just tell me, I’ll arrange it.”

Shiyin forced a smile and didn’t say anything.

Xiaomeng and Meng Ran stayed with Shiyin for a while and then left. Before leaving, Meng Ran told her to rest well, after all, she still had work to do, and her condition couldn’t go wrong.

Shiyin nodded obediently and said to her, “I’ll try my best to adjust.”

As soon as Meng Ran and Xiaomeng left, Shiyin collapsed on the sofa. She was staring at the ceiling, lost in thought, when Zhou Chengyuan’s face appeared above her.

Shiyin was startled and then chided, “How come you walk without making a sound?”

Zhou Chengyuan was very innocent.

It was clearly because she was too lost in thought, leaning on the sofa, that she didn’t notice him.

For those two days, Saturday and Sunday, Shiyin didn’t go out to eat with Meng Ran and Xiaomeng. Every meal was personally delivered to Shiyin’s room by the same waiter.

In other words, Shiyin didn’t go out for two whole days.

Xiaomeng was very worried and asked Meng Ran, “Shiyin isn’t too heartbroken, is she?”

Meng Ran pondered for a moment, then shook her head, “I don’t know, I hope not.”

She always felt something was wrong, but Meng Ran couldn’t say what it was.

That night, after Meng Ran and Xiaomeng had dinner together and were about to go back to their rooms, they saw Xia Ling at the elevator entrance, pulling her suitcase.

Xiaomeng was straightforward. If she likes someone, she likes them. If she doesn’t, she ignores them. But Meng Ran wasn’t like that.

After all, she was a manager in the entertainment industry. It was easy for her to be smooth and tactful.

So, when Xia Ling greeted her with a smile, Meng Ran also politely exchanged pleasantries with her. That’s how Meng Ran learned that this Miss Xia was leaving.

As for where she was going, she didn’t know.

Meng Ran smiled slightly. After entering the elevator, she said to Xia Ling，who was getting out of the elevator, “Miss Xia, have a safe trip.”

Xia Ling smiled and nodded, “Thank you. Manager Meng, remember to give my regards to Shiyin. Let’s get together again when we have time.”

Meng Ran curled her lips and said, “If you want to get together in the future, it might not be as easy as this time. After all, Shiyin is very busy with work and it’s hard for her to spare time to get together.”

“That’s true.” Xia Ling said goodbye with a forced smile and then turned around and left.

The elevator door closed, and it began to slowly rise. Xiaomeng mumbled, “Hopefully, she’ll disappear halfway and never show up again! Hmph! A white lotus flower, a woman who is a hypocrite and a bitch!”

Meng Ran laughed and rubbed her head, “You, you can’t be so naive when you’re out in society. You have to say what you need to say to people, and say what you need to say to ghosts. That way, you won’t be taken advantage of.”

Xiaomeng whined, “I can’t help it! When I see someone I hate, I want to spit in their face!”

The two of them chatted and got out of the elevator, then went back to their respective rooms.

At this time, Shiyin was being held by Zhou Chengyuan. She was racking her brains, trying to figure out how to escape.

Although… they had already done it, she still instinctively wanted to escape when she faced his advances.

“Little Uncle,” Shiyin desperately pulled on her bathrobe, wrapping it tightly, her words filled with helplessness and grievance, “Can you let me off one more time tonight? I have to film tomorrow. Otherwise, I’ll be laughed at if I’m too weak.”

Zhou Chengyuan didn’t really want to do anything to her.

As a patient, how could he eat meat every day?

Normal people’s sex life is two or three times a week. He had to reduce it from that basis, once a week was enough.

Of course, this was just for now.

As for the future…

Zhou Chengyuan slowly curled the corners of his lips. He kissed her forehead lightly, “Shiyin, coax it, and Little Uncle will let you off.”

Shiyin: “…”

Coax your grandma to sleep!

Can you just politely roll out of here?

Later, Shiyin fell asleep, and Zhou Chengyuan nibbled on her red lips, then got out of bed and went to the bathroom.

He wasn’t a (Liu Xia Hui, a legendary figure known for his chastity), unable to resist temptation, especially when his legal wife was sleeping in his arms.

Beauty is on the side, the king doesn’t go to court early. There’s a reason for that.

The next morning, when Shiyin finished washing up and was about to leave, Zhou Chengyuan asked slowly from behind, “Shiyin, are you leaving already?”

“Ah,” Shiyin responded, saying to Zhou Chengyuan, “Little Uncle, you rest well. I have to stay at the program group this week and can’t come back to accompany you.”

Zhou Chengyuan hummed, then asked, “Did Shiyin forget something?”

Shiyin turned around. Just as she was about to ask him what she had forgotten, Zhou Chengyuan lightly touched her lips.

Shiyin’s face instantly flushed red. She pushed him away and hurried out, running towards the door, “Little Uncle, I’m leaving, see you later!”

As she spoke, she closed the door.

When Shiyin saw Meng Ran and Xiaomeng in the elevator, Xiaomeng immediately widened her eyes and exclaimed, “Shiyin, why is your face so red? Could it be…”

Meng Ran also looked at Shiyin suspiciously.

Shiyin felt her heart pounding under their gaze. It seemed like she was about to lose control of her expression and reveal the truth. But then, she heard Meng Ran and Xiaomeng ask in unison, “Are you running a fever?!”

Shiyin’s heart had jumped to her throat, but then it instantly fell back down.

She swallowed and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, mumbling, “I don’t think so? Maybe I was in a hurry to come out, I ran a few steps, and then…”

“Huh?” Xiaomeng said incredulously, “Your face turned red like this just from running a few steps? Then, Shiyin, you’re not very fit!”

It was a normal sentence, just saying that Shiyin wasn’t very fit, but to Shiyin, it had a different meaning.

She suddenly remembered Friday night, Zhou Chengyuan pressed her down on the bed, hugged her from behind, and whispered in her ear, panting, “Shiyin, you can’t handle it already? It seems like you need to exercise more.”

Shiyin’s eyes were filled with tears at that time. She kept nodding, and her words became fragmented, broken.

The man was very pleased to hear her call him Little Uncle, and he became even more energetic.

Xiaomeng saw that Shiyin’s face had turned even redder, and she said to Meng Ran in fright, “Ran, should we take Shiyin to see a doctor first? Look at her face, it’s as red as a monkey’s butt!”

Shiyin: “…”

She shot her a glare, and Xiaomeng quickly corrected herself, “No, no, no, Shiyin’s face is much prettier than a monkey’s butt. A monkey’s butt is so ugly, how can it compare to Shiyin’s noble, beautiful, fair, delicate face!”

Heh, you little girl.

Because Shiyin insisted on not seeing a doctor, and Meng Ran noticed that Shiyin’s face slowly returned to normal after a while. She even reached out and touched it. Her temperature wasn’t high.

Meng Ran finally felt relieved.

Meng Ran and Xiaomeng sent Shiyin to the program group and went back after watching her go in.

Shiyin went to the dormitory prepared by the program group and changed into the practice clothes they would wear while filming.

A white top, a pink skirt, the combination made her look more youthful and energetic.

Shiyin had just changed her clothes and was sitting at her desk playing on her phone when Dan Qing pushed the door open and came in.

Shiyin looked up and saw it was her. She smiled and raised her hand. Dan Qing also cooperated and high-fived her.

“Hey, good morning, little cutie. Let’s go to the practice room after you change your clothes.” Shiyin said to Dan Qing.

Dan Qing nodded and smiled in agreement, “Okay.”

While Dan Qing was changing her practice clothes, Shiyin suddenly received a mention. She clicked on it and found that the cover of the E-family fashion magazine she had filmed before had been released.

She looked sexy and charming in the photos. Even Shiyin herself was a little surprised. She didn’t expect the finished product to be so good.

Especially the photo of her lying on the bed, with her shoulders slightly exposed and her eyes sleepy and alluring. It could be described as stunning.

It’s so damn beautiful!

It’s absolutely gorgeous!

If she were a man, she would definitely marry such a charming Shiyin!

Hey?

Thinking about it this way… Zhou Chengyuan seems to have struck gold!

Hmph! He’s got it easy!

Shiyin’s eyes rolled around. She still felt like she couldn’t let this dog man off so easily. With a triumphant smile on her lips, she mischievously switched the page to WeChat. Shiyin was about to send a message to Zhou Chengyuan, but suddenly she felt a gaze on her back.

At the same time, Dan Qing called out to her, “Shiyin!”

Shiyin quickly turned off her phone and turned her head. She saw Nie Shuangshuang standing behind her.
