Yu Wan and Li Shen came back so suddenly that Li Linlin wasn’t prepared at all.

Of course, Chen Yiran even less so.

After talking to Li Linlin, Yu Wan noticed Chen Yiran standing next to her. She was stunned for a moment before reacting, “It’s Chen Yiran! I almost didn’t recognize you!”

Li Linlin said from the side, “Yes, you’ve almost forgotten your daughter, let alone Brother Yiran.”

“……” Chen Yiran greeted Yu Wan. “Hello, Aunt Yu.”

“Hello. Come in first.” Yu Wan told the two to come in. “Your father and I brought a lot of gifts. Chen Yiran came just in time, he can choose for himself.”

Li Linlin was shocked as soon as she walked into the living room, the words ‘a lot of gifts’ were really not an exaggeration at all. The sofa and carpet were full of things, as if it was Christmas. Li Shen was sitting among a pile of gifts, sorting them out.

Hearing the sound of them coming in, he looked back. When he saw Li Linlin, his eyes clearly lit up, but soon, the light in his eyes went out when he saw Chen Yiran next to Li Linlin.

“Hello, Uncle Li. Sorry for disturbing you.” Chen Yiran greeted first.

Li Shen glanced at him, then asked Li Linlin, “Linlin, how come you came back with Chen Yiran?”

Li Linlin said, “I stayed at Brother Yiran’s house last night—”

Before she could finish her sentence, Li Shen jumped up from the floor. “You stayed at his house last night? Why? What did you guys do?”

Yu Wan also glanced at them silently.

The atmosphere was very delicate for a moment. Chen Yiran seemed to be afraid that they would misunderstand and spoke quickly, “Linlin was recording a show in the mountain yesterday and had a low fever. I was worried that there’s no one to take care of her, so I took her to my place.”

As soon as Yu Wan heard that Li Linlin had a fever, she reached out her hand and touched her forehead. “Linlin, you have a fever? How are you now?”

“I’m fine, the fever has gone down all thanks to Brother Yiran taking care of me.”

Li Shen also went to touch Li Linlin’s forehead and saw that there’s indeed no sign of fever, before he faced Chen Yiran again. “Although Wanwan and I aren’t at home, the butlers and the servants are here. How is it that there’s no one to take care of Linlin?”

Yu Wan glanced at Chen Yiran, then told Li Shen, “Linlin is sick. He must be worried that’s why he let Linlin stay at his place.”

“Yes, why are you so fierce?” Li Linlin glared at Li Shen. “How can you be mean to Brother Yiran? You don’t even have time to care about me and now you’re talking about others?”

Li Shen: “……”

His precious daughter was actually attacking him for another man!!!

Chen Yiran was indeed not good!

“Don’t glare at Brother Yiran!” Li Linlin stood in front of Chen Yiran and looked at Li Shen with her hands on her hips. “Brother Yiran took good care of me. He even made milk porridge for me and it tastes just like the one Mom cooked!”

Li Shen: “!!!”

Boy, you’ve mastered the art of milk porridge, haven’t you?

“That……” Chen Yiran felt that he came at the wrong time, so he found an excuse to leave first. Unexpectedly, as soon as he said one word, Yu Wan looked at him with a smile on her face. “Taking care of a patient is hard, right? You probably didn’t sleep well last night. Let’s have a light lunch. Linlin and the others have been troubling you these days.”

“It’s no trouble. Xixi is my sister and Linlin grew up with her……” Chen Yiran originally wanted to say that she was no different from his sister, but for some reason, he suddenly remembered Li Linlin’s previous confession to him, and changed his words halfway, “It’s only right that I take care of her.”

Yu Wan smiled and said, “Then you and Linlin sit for a while and wait for lunch.”

“Yeah, yeah.” Li Linlin also turned her head and smiled at Chen Yiran. “Have lunch here Brother Yiran, otherwise you’ll be too lazy to eat when you go back to the company again.”

“That’s not good. You have to remember to eat.” Yu Wan patted Chen Yiran’s arm and asked him to sit down on the sofa. “We just came back so the house is a bit messy. It’s all because Ah Shen bought too many gifts.”

“It’s okay.” Chen Yiran said. Even sitting in that small spot on the sofa, he looked like a president sitting in his office. It didn’t affect his temperament at all.

Yu Wan pulled Li Shen away from the living room. Li Linlin plopped down on the soft carpet to choose gifts and also picked one for Chen Yiran. “Brother Yiran, do you like this fragrance?”

Everything wasn’t packaged in gift boxes and they could see what it was at a glance. Probably when Li Shen was buying gifts, he was thinking of giving them to Li Linlin and a few of her good friends, so most of them were suitable for girls. It wasn’t easy to find a bottle of men’s perfume.

Chen Yiran certainly didn’t refuse and took it. “Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it.” Li Linlin smiled at him and found that there was a bottle of ladies perfume beside it. It appeared to be a match with the men’s perfume. She silently put the ladies perfume into her bag.

“This is for Xixi and this is for Wu Hui’er.” Li Linlin chose gifts for a while and finally got one for everyone. Chen Yiran answered a phone call midway. It was from Assistant Wu. Chen Yiran explained some work matters and said that he would go to the company in the afternoon.

Assistant Wu was extremely surprised. Ever since he became Chen Yiran’s assistant, he had almost never seen him take a vacation. This time he took the initiative to miss half a day of work for no reason. He thought that it must have something to do with Li Linlin.

……So what happened to them last night?

President Chen didn’t really act like a beast— No, no, no, President Chen wasn’t such a person!

When it was about time to have lunch, Li Shen and Yu Wan came down from upstairs. They chatted for a while in the living room before the butler told them that the table was ready.

Chen Yiran had never been to Li Linlin’s house alone. In the past, it was always during holidays where Chen Xi dragged him along. Now that Chen Xi was missing, the atmosphere seemed to have suddenly become a little strange. Chen Yiran had the illusion as if he was meeting his girlfriend’s parents.

Moreover, the girlfriend’s father wasn’t very satisfied with him, this boyfriend.

Chen Yiran didn’t have much contact with Li Shen. Although Li Shen was an international superstar, Chen Yiran, who didn’t follow stars, rarely paid attention to his news. Coupled with the fact that he stayed abroad for many years and had been busy with work after returning to China, there was almost no contact with the other party.

Therefore, he shouldn’t have offended him.

Chen Yiran didn’t know where Li Shen’s vague hostility towards him came from. He remembered that whenever he came to the Li family’s house as a child, Li Shen didn’t have this kind of attitude towards him.

“Yiran.” Yu Wan suddenly called out to him. “I heard your aunt say that you’ve been very busy since returning to the country and have no time to find a girlfriend?”

Chen Yiran: “……”

What he’s most afraid of was the sudden concern from elders.

“The company does have a lot of things going on right now so I haven’t considered that for now.” Chen Yiran answered fairly well.

“Then you must have thought about it.” Yu Wan said, “What type of girl do you like? Tell me so I can keep an eye out for you.”

Li Linlin on the side quietly pricked up her ears.

Chen Yiran didn’t know what to say for a moment. He knew that Yu Wan was a well-known wedding planner, but he didn’t expect that wedding planners had now evolved to matchmakers to get business for themselves.

“This, I don’t have any special requirements. It probably depends on fate.”

“Oh, fate.” Yu Wan nodded meaningfully.

Li Linlin thought in her heart that she and Brother Yiran had a strong connection.

———pr

After lunch, Chen Yiran left the Li family’s house with the perfume. Li Linlin was about to go up to take a shower and change clothes when Li Shen called her back.

“What is it?” Li Linlin didn’t take a shower last night. She sweated all over and felt very uncomfortable.

Li Shen asked her seriously, “How did you and Chen Yiran sleep last night?”

Li Linlin said, “I slept in his room—”

“What?!” Li Shen shouted before Li Linlin could finish her sentence. “Wanwan, did you hear that?! Linlin slept in Chen Yiran’s room!”

“……But Brother Yiran slept on the side room.” Li Linlin said, “Dad, I think your thoughts are too convoluted.”

Li Shen: “……”

No, he just understands men. 🙂

“Linlin, go up and take a shower first.” Yu Wan gestured to Li Linlin, who got the instruction and ran back to her room.

She took a shower, dried her hair, and then sat on the hanging chair on the balcony to send a message to Chen Xi and Wu Hui.

【Linlin: My parents are back and they have brought many gifts. I’ll bring them to you tomorrow.】

【Wu Hui: !】

【Wu Hui: Are there any signed photo of Li Shen?】

【Linlin: ……】

【Xixi: Are you feeling better, Linlin?】

【Linlin: My fever has gone down! I’m staying at home tonight. The gifts for you are already packed!】

【Linlin: By the way, Xixi! Was it you who told Brother Yiran to remove my makeup yesterday?! You actually asked him to remove my makeup!】

【Xixi: ……It’s fine, there’s not much difference between before and after you put on makeup.】

【Linlin: QAQ】

Chen Xi originally wanted to gossip about what happened to them last night, but after thinking about it, she decided to wait until they met and let Linlin tell them in person.

It felt more exciting that way.

After Li Linlin exited from their group chat, she slid to Lu Yuxuan’s profile picture. She thought for a while, then clicked in and sent him a picture.

What she sent was the picture of the building blocks set she took at Chen Yiran’s house. She didn’t know much about it but felt that Lu Yuxuan must know something.

【Sister Linlin: Lu Yuxuan, do you know this set of building block figure?】

She didn’t know if Lu Yuxuan could bring his phone to school so she just casually sent it. She took a nap and woke up to find that Lu Yuxuan had replied to her message.

【They’re also Miller’s building block figures but an older edition and has been discontinued a long time ago! How did you get them, Sister Linlin? This set must be worth a lot of money now!】

【Sister Linlin: It belongs to a friend of mine. He’s been collecting this set of building blocks but there seems to be one missing.】

Li Linlin sent so many words but little friend Lu Yuxuan only keenly captured one word— he.

He? Was it Sister Linlin’s boyfriend? Was there no hope for his brother?

Lu Yuxuan recalled something. Could it be that Uncle Chen who sent Sister Linlin home that night?

【Lu Yuxuan: It’s not easy to find. Sister Linlin, do you have a good relationship with that friend of yours? If you are, I’ll go and ask my friend for you.】

【Sister Linlin: Err, it’s Xixi’s brother.】

Sure enough, it’s that Uncle Chen!

Although he’s Sister Xixi’s brother, he’s not related to Sister Linlin by blood. Does Sister Linlin like him?

Primary school student Lu Yuxuan was worried about his brother’s love affair.
