Soon, Shen Chuanqiong drove the car to Moonlight Restaurant. It was a high-end couple’s Western restaurant, and Shen Nanxing looked around at the decor, feeling like he had come to the wrong place.

Shen Chuanqiong led him to a private room that had been reserved in advance. The room had a spacious view, and through the half-open curtains, they could see the twinkling stars in the night sky and the distant city skyline, dotted with lights. The table was set with exquisite silver cutlery, which reflected soft light from the candle flames, and the deep, enticing red wine in the glasses.

Was this going to be a candlelight dinner? Shen Nanxing stared at the scene in front of him, feeling a bit stunned. “Brother, you really shouldn’t have brought me here today.” After all, didn’t this make him the third wheel?

Shen Chuanqiong noticed his concern and comforted him, “It’s fine.” A few days ago, Lin Qingyan had surprisingly taken him off her blacklist. He thought that maybe she was willing to listen to his explanation, and he had secretly felt happy about it. However, the truth was that she had seen a photo of Good Boy in Su Chen’s moments and, as a professional, had the urge to meet him. In the end, he was just a tool.

Thinking about this, Shen Chuanqiong felt a little deflated. Despite his wealth and looks, why was pursuing someone so difficult for him?

Just as the two brothers were talking and laughing, Lin Qingyan walked in.

Lin Qingyan was dressed in a red spaghetti-strap dress, which perfectly accentuated her graceful figure. Her slightly wavy long hair cascaded in front of her chest, and the slight upward curve of her eyes gave her a sensual and enchanting appearance.

Shen Chuanqiong couldn’t help but show a hint of admiration as soon as he saw her. He softly said, “Qingyan, you’re here?” He naturally took the coat and bag from Lin Qingyan’s hands, carefully placing them on the coat rack before gentlemanly pulling out a chair for her. He smiled and said, “Please, sit down.”

Lin Qingyan’s voice had a touch of coldness. She lightly responded, “Thank you.” She sat down gracefully, her every move radiating her distinguished demeanor and upbringing.

After settling Lin Qingyan, Shen Chuanqiong naturally took the seat next to her. Shen Nanxing watched their interaction with a glint of amusement in his eyes. Pretending not to know, he asked, “Brother, is this your friend?”

Shen Chuanqiong lightly coughed and subtly motioned for him to be quiet, not wanting to make the situation awkward.

But Shen Nanxing seemed unconcerned. With a smile on his face, he happily greeted Lin Qingyan, “Hello, Sister.”

Lin Qingyan looked at Shen Nanxing’s sweet smile, feeling her heart nearly melt from his charm. She held back her excitement and smiled gently in return, replying, “Hello, Nanxing, my little brother.”

As an entertainment agent, Lin Qingyan had a sharp intuition for discovering potential and attractive people. She was dedicated to turning them into top stars in the entertainment industry. When she had accidentally come across Shen Nanxing’s photo, she was immediately captivated by his angelic face. Not only was he exquisite in appearance, but he also gave off a soft and obedient aura that made her want to take him home and treat him like her own little brother.

Shen Nanxing looked at the gentle Lin Qingyan in front of him, finding it hard to reconcile her with the image of her slapping someone in anger just recently. Shen Chuanqiong, who had been slapped not long ago, thought: “Little brother, you’re so naive.”

Lin Qingyan looked at Shen Nanxing with an expectant expression and asked, “Nanxing, would you be interested in becoming a star?” Her eyes sparkled with the light of discovering a new talent, clearly full of confidence in his potential.

Shen Nanxing shook his head and politely declined, “I’m not really interested in that.” Lin Qingyan’s expression fell a little, “Alright, Nanxing, if you ever change your mind, let me know.” She took out a business card and handed it to him. Shen Nanxing politely accepted it and placed it in his coat pocket.

Seeing that he was being ignored, Shen Chuanqiong interjected, “Qingyan, I’ve told you before, Good Boy isn’t going to agree.” Lin Qingyan was slightly irritated by his sudden interruption, furrowing her brows and responding coldly, “You’re getting a bit too close.”

Shen Chuanqiong immediately fell silent, feeling a little confused and aggrieved. Why was she so harsh with him but so gentle with Good Boy?

Shen Nanxing couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed that his brother’s future status in the family wasn’t going to be very high. For the sake of his brother’s happiness, he decided to help out, “Sister, my brother is actually a very good person. He’s really gentle, thoughtful, and mature. You might want to… consider him?”

Before he could finish, Shen Chuanqiong covered his mouth. “Good Boy, stop talking,” he said, his face pleading. He was worried that if Lin Qingyan heard it, she might leave. It had taken so much effort to get her to come out for dinner; if she got upset, what would he do?

He quickly explained to Lin Qingyan, “Good Boy is just talking nonsense. Don’t take it seriously.” Lin Qingyan coldly replied, “I didn’t think much of it.”

“That’s good, that’s good.”

Before they knew it, night had fallen, and the moonlight poured down, casting a soft glow over every corner of the city. After dinner, Shen Chuanqiong decided to drop Lin Qingyan off at her place. As they said their goodbyes, Lin Qingyan, still not giving up, asked Shen Nanxing once more if he would reconsider becoming a star. She really wanted to sign him, and now, she even felt a bit jealous of Shen Chuanqiong. How could such a well-behaved little brother not be hers?

At home, Shen Nanxing handed over the desserts he had brought to his parents, saying that they were especially delicious and he wanted them to try. The couple was deeply moved, thinking: Good Boy has really grown up!

After returning to his room, Shen Nanxing first placed the clothes from the bag into the washing machine. Normally, it was Aunt Wu who handled the laundry, but since these were women’s clothes, he didn’t want anyone else to see them. There was no choice but for him to wash them himself. After finishing his personal care routine and hanging the clothes to dry, Shen Nanxing finally had time to check his phone. He noticed there were many unread messages. The most frequent sender was Xia Zimu. He said it was a real pity that Shen Nanxing didn’t watch his rehearsal this afternoon, as Fu Chengyu, that pretentious guy, was no match for him. His acting skills would outshine Fu in a second.

Shen Nanxing chuckled helplessly and replied: “Is that so? What a pity.” He scrolled down further and saw a message from Fu Zhiyuan:
[Want to pick a star: Xingbao, are you busy?]
[Want to pick a star: Found a cat.]

Shen Nanxing raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit puzzled. His relationship with Fu Zhiyuan didn’t seem close enough for sharing such trivial things, right?
[What cat?]

Fu Zhiyuan replied almost immediately, saying it was a ragdoll kitten, and even sent a picture.

Shen Nanxing looked at the picture Fu Zhiyuan sent and was immediately captivated by the cuteness of the kitten. The little cat looked only about two months old, with bright, vivid blue eyes. Its cheeks and ears were covered in gray fur, and its paws were pink and pudgy, making it incredibly adorable.

[It’s pretty cute.]
[Want to pick a star: Xingbao, do you want to see it?]

Before Shen Nanxing could reply, Fu Zhiyuan’s video call came through. Shen Nanxing instinctively pressed the answer button. Fu Zhiyuan’s clear, slightly magnetic voice came through the speaker as he softly asked, “Xingbao, can you see it?”
