Li Linlin was like a student who was called on in class. She stood up from her chair and said, “Brother Yiran!”

Lu Siyu took the opportunity to look at Li Linlin and the business smile that had been hanging on her face slightly faded. Meanwhile, Chen Yiran, who had been expressionless next to her, suddenly smiled a bit. “I didn’t see you at the airport yesterday but I didn’t expect to meet you here now.”

Li Linlin said happily, “This is probably fate!”

Lu Siyu’s eyes changed. She also saw Li Linlin’s hot search on Weibo yesterday. It turned out that Li Linlin went to the airport to pick up Chen Yiran?

President Yu on the side looked at Li Linlin and Chen Yiran, and asked somewhat unexpectedly, “So President Chen and Little Sister Linlin know each other?”

Chen Yiran glanced at him and said, “My family’s little sister has bothered President Yu.”

“Not at all, not at all.” President Yu moved a little further away from Li Linlin to show that he really wasn’t after his family’s little sister.

“Everyone, stop standing here, let’s sit down and talk.” Lu Siyu smiled at everyone and took the lead in sitting down in her own seat.

The others also sat down. Lu Siyu glanced at Li Linlin beside her and asked her with a smile, “Little Sister Linlin is wearing a really pretty dress. Though it doesn’t seem to be a high-end dress from a big brand?”

The other party’s question was a bit off. However, Li Linlin really wasn’t wearing a big-name dress and didn’t think it was a big deal. She made an agreement with Chen Xi from the beginning to wear clothes designed by Chen Xi to all the events she attended, so that it wouldn’t only allow everyone to see Chen Xi’s work, but also help Chen Xi build up fame.

Good sisters should help each other!

She smiled at Lu Siyu and said to her, “My best friend made this dress for me. She’s amazing.”

Lu Siyu didn’t expect that Li Linlin wasn’t embarrassed at all and even seemed quite proud. She laughed lightly and said to her, “Little Sister Linlin, you’re still young, so you may not understand that the clothes you wear for a social gathering are more than just a piece of clothing. If you wear something slightly inferior, others may criticize you or even make articles about you. It’s better not to wear this kind of clothes when you walk on the red carpet in the future so you won’t be exploited by someone with malicious intentions.”

Li Linlin was slightly stunned, before finally coming back to her senses.

The entertainment industry had a clear hierarchy and only certain celebrities could wear certain brands of clothes. Although even if one wanted to wear clothes beyond their level, big brands wouldn’t lend either. Of course Li Linlin was aware of these ‘unspoken rules’ that have been made explicit. When Lu Siyu said this to her, did she really want to kindly remind her as a close big sister?

It seems that she just wanted to take this opportunity to step on her dress. 🙂

How could she be exploited by someone with malicious intentions? Since Li Linlin entered the venue, no one had other intention except Movie Queen Lu.

Li Linlin thought of this and subconsciously examined Lu Siyu’s dress. Because of Chen Xi’s daily chatter, Li Linlin knew more or less about the latest seasonal styles of major brands. The one worn by Lu Siyu tonight was easy to recognize. It’s a new spring style from Fluer, and it’s also a brand that other female celebrities couldn’t even reach.

It’s indeed enough for Movie Queen Lu to be arrogant.

She retracted her gaze from the other party’s dress and looked at Lu Siyu’s eyes. “Thank you, Teacher Lu, for reminding me, but this dress was handmade by my friend for more than a month and I like it very much. I feel a bit sad hearing you say ‘this kind of clothes’ to describe her hard work.”

As she spoke, her big eyes looking at Lu Siyu flickered, really showing a hint of sadness. “By the way, I’m not making things up. My friend’s name is Chen Xi, Brother Yiran’s cousin.”

Lu Siyu was slightly startled and a hint of astonishment clearly flashed in her eyes.

Chen Yiran took his mother’s surname, and his cousin, Chen Xi, was the daughter of his uncle^[1]mother’s brother, Chen Zui. He’s a well-known host at ABA and Lu Siyu had also been on a talk show hosted by him before.

Lu Siyu’s mind turned a thousand times in an instant, but apart from the beginning, her expression management had remained flawless. She inwardly sneered. The media said that Li Linlin was a ‘rare beauty’ and her fans even praised her as ‘human honey’, but in fact, there’s no such thing as a simple minded person in their line of work.

“Little Sister Linlin, you misunderstood me. I didn’t mean to say anything bad about your dress. I used the wrong words just now, I apologize.”

Li Linlin didn’t expect that she would apologize so generously. She couldn’t help but lament that a movie queen was indeed a movie queen. She’s really adaptable. “I didn’t mean to blame Teacher Lu either, I just don’t want Xixi’s hard work to be looked down upon.”

Movie Queen Lu looked at her with a smile and showed a trace of envy. “You sisters have a really good relationship.”

If Lu Siyu’s antifans were seeing this scene, they would definitely praise it as the highlight of Lu Siyu’s acting this year.

The matter was thus revealed like this and neither of them mentioned it again. Lu Siyu was afraid that Chen Yiran would have some thoughts on her earlier words, so she specifically commented to him, “Your sister is studying fashion design? The dress is beautifully made.”

Chen Yiran nodded slightly without showing any emotion. “Xixi has been fond of drawing clothes since she’s a child. Her grades aren’t as good as Linlin’s, but she’s quite talented in fashion design.”

“Oh, I see. Then have you ever thought about sending her to study abroad?”

“Xixi didn’t want to go.” Chen Yiran said no more.

Lu Siyu was a very observant person. After seeing that Chen Yiran didn’t want to continue talking about the matter, she was very sensible and didn’t ask again. Anyway, she already knew that Chen Yiran had no opinion of her because of what she said earlier, and even if he did, he had no intention of showing it.

That’s good enough.

After the event started, Lu Siyu frequently moved closer to Chen Yiran, whispering something to him. Li Linlin sat next to Lu Siyu and watched the other party silently. Occasionally, she was forced to open business and smile at the camera filming them.

Weibo had been lively since the beginning. From the initial celebrity battles on the red carpet, to the intimate interactions of this person to that person at the venue, they took turns on the trending list.

Li Linlin’s red carpet dress and the subsequent scene were also hotly searched, but the ones with the most lasting popularity were Lu Siyu and Chen Yiran.

The evening’s event hasn’t even ended yet and the media articles have already started claiming that Lu Siyu was Chen Yiran’s girlfriend.

The biggest recent news in the entertainment industry was definitely Lu Siyu signing with Shengteng Entertainment, which was invested by Huachuang Group.

Before Lu Siyu’s contract with her original agency expired, there was speculation that she wouldn’t renew her contract and would choose to set up a personal studio. No one expected that she would eventually sign with Shengteng.

After signing Lu Siyu, Shengteng naturally showed their sincerity and soon announced the next big production they were preparing with Lu Siyu as the lead. Because Shengteng Entertainment was backed by Huachuang Group and had strong financial resources, when they say big production, it must be truly big.

They had money and Lu Siyu had fame. Both parties could be said to be getting what they need.

But it wouldn’t be interesting to write it like that, so under the pen of the media friends, all this became domineering president Chen Yiran paving the way for his girlfriend Lu Siyu to develop internationally.

Wu Hui was holding her phone and eating melon with relish, not forgetting to share it with her good sister, Li Linlin. Li Linlin saw the articles Wu Hui sent over and once again regretted hiring her as her manager.

The event had reached its end and the emcee began to guide the guests to leave in an orderly manner. Li Linlin didn’t pay attention when she got up and stepped on the train of her dress, almost falling down. Fortunately, Chen Yiran was quick to help her. “Be careful.”

“Thank you, Brother Yiran.” Li Linlin patted her chest after standing firmly. If she fell down, she would have made a big fool of herself.

Next to her, Lu Siyu let out a laugh and looked at her. “Little Sister Linlin is so careless. The train of your dress is so long so it must be a bit cumbersome. How about I support you?”

“No need, no need. Thank you, Teacher Lu.”

“Why don’t I help Little Sister Linlin?” Fu Angsi popped out of nowhere and gallantly approached Li Linlin.

Chen Yiran held up his hand with a cold face and said while looking at him, “What are you yapping about? This is my sister, not yours.”

The corners of Fu Angsi’s mouth twitched. Li Linlin was the nations little sister, can’t he even call her that?

Li Linlin, however, was a little upset after hearing Chen Yiran’s words.

She knew that Chen Yiran had always regarded her as his sister. When he introduced her to President Yu of Huanyu just now, he also said that she was his sister. However, she no longer wanted to remain as his little sister.

“Your sister is Xixi. Even if she and I are good friends, I am still not your sister.” Li Linlin said with some emotion.

Chen Yiran was slightly startled and Fu Angsi next to him also looked surprised.

What happened with Little Sister Linlin? Suddenly getting angry with President Chen?

Hey, this was enjoyable.

Fu Angsi was having a terrific time. Normally, no one dare to talk to Chen Yiran like this.

Chen Yiran glanced at Fu Angsi, who was ready to watch a good show from the sidelines, as well as the people coming and going at the venue, then lowered his head to tell Li Linlin, “Let’s talk outside.”

Outside the venue’s hall was a large European style garden with not many people passing by. Li Linlin followed Chen Yiran all the way to the depths of the garden before stopping.

There was a statue in the middle surrounded by a large birdcage. The railing of the birdcage was wrapped with red flowers, which look very eye-catching in the night.

This place wasn’t far from the venue just now, but it seems like two different worlds.

“What’s wrong, Linlin?” Chen Yiran was the first one to speak. “Are you angry because I didn’t wait for you at the airport yesterday?”

“No, it was me who’s late.” Li Linlin knew how busy Chen Yiran was. She heard Uncle Chen say that when he was a child, Chen Yiran was a jerk— no— lively, but now he had been forced by life to become a ruthless capitalist, eager to split one second into two.

“Then what’s the matter?”

Li Linlin would officially turn 20 at the end of the month. Adolescent girls have sensitive minds, so Chen Yiran was much more patient with her than with others.

Li Linlin said, “It’s not that, I just don’t want to be your sister anymore.”

Chen Yiran was puzzled. “Why?”

Chen Yiran treated Li Linlin and Chen Xi the same and did not favor one over the other. When he was studying abroad, he would always sent two of the same gifts, and on Li Linlin’s birthday, he would also send a separate one for her.

He didn’t expect that he, this older brother, was now being disliked.

Li Linlin pursed her lips. She didn’t know whether it was because she was stimulated by Lu Siyu that night or because Chen Yiran kept introducing her as his little sister, she blurted out in anger, “Because I like you and I want to be your girlfriend!”

Chen Yiran was dumbstruck.

The night wind blew between the two of them but didn’t ease the atmosphere even a bit. Li Linlin had never seen such a shock expression on Chen Yiran’s face before.

After venting her emotions, she regretted it. Wu Hui’er was right, she was really a love brain.

She clearly planned to wait until she graduated from university before confessing to Chen Yiran…… but she became anxious. Chen Yiran was so great, how could she guarantee that Chen Yiran would still be single when she graduated?

It was unknown how long it was, but Chen Yiran finally spoke, “Linlin, listen to me.”

Chen Yiran, who had always been decisive at the negotiation table, organized his words so carefully for the first time, “When girls are young, they tend to rely on people like their father and brother. You may have confused these two feelings. In addition, you may not be familiar with the opposite sex around you, so you projected your feelings onto me……”

“No, it’s not like that. I’ve liked you since primary school, Xixi have always known it!”

Chen Yiran: “……”

Primary school?

He was so chaotic in primary school and never even thought about dating. How could a well-behaved girl like Linlin think of all that?

And with him, too?

Chen Yiran’s mood was complicated. “Linlin, I watched you and Xixi grow up. I am ten years older than you. You’re both my sisters in my heart. I can’t……” lay a hand on you.

Not to mention that Chen Yiran was busy with the group’s expansion and had no time for romance. Even if he wanted to have a relationship, he wouldn’t put his hand on Li Linlin. And if he really acted like a beast and did so, his uncle and Uncle Li would be the first to jump up and tear him apart.

Chen Yiran had tried his best to say this as tactfully as possible, but after he finished speaking, Li Linlin’s small face still turned pale.

He suddenly felt that he had done something heinous. If his uncle and Uncle Li knew about this, they might still jump up and tear him apart.

It’s so hard to be a human being.

“Linlin, let me send you back first.” Chen Yiran could only say this. It had been a long time since he had been so passive about something.

Li Linlin stood still without moving, as if she hadn’t heard. Wu Hui jumped out from the side and said to Chen Yiran with an awkward smile, “Don’t bother, I’ll send her back. Oh, I’m her manager, Wu Hui.”

Chen Yiran sized her up and saw that she was also a girl about the same age as Li Linlin, and was clearly uneasy.

Wu Hui said, “We’ll take the studio’s car and go back as we came, so don’t worry.” After that, she approached Chen Yiran and whispered to him, “You have to let her calm down for a while. You’d better leave first.”

Chen Yiran pursed his lips slightly, glanced at Li Linlin again, then turned his head and told Wu Hui, “Send a message to Xixi after dropping Linlin off.”

“Yes, yes.” Wu Hui watched the great deity leave and let out a long breath. Just now, she saw Li Linlin and Chen Yiran coming out the venue, so she secretly followed them to eavesdrop— no— she meant to keep a look out.

She really didn’t expect Li Linlin to be so direct and confess her feelings to Chen Yiran. But the final result was also within Wu Hui’s expectations.

She just said that people like Chen Yiran didn’t love women at all, he only loves work!

“Wa——” While she wasn’t paying attention, Li Linlin cried out loud. Wu Hui was so frightened that she almost jumped up. She hurried over to comfort the other party, “My Great-Aunt we’re still in a public place, what if someone sees? If you want to cry, I’ll accompany you back to the dormitory. Be good, be good.”

Li Linlin wiped her tears and looked at Wu Hui to say, “No, I want to go home and cry in my big villa.”
