Li Linlin’s car accident was not only been investigated by Chen Yiran, but also by Li Shen who had been keeping up with the situation through the police. If Chen Yiran only investigated, he would still think it was a simple accident, but when Chen Yiran was so anxious to check the identity of the driver, he felt that something was fishy.

Chen Yiran’s hand holding the chopsticks paused. He placed it down and looked at Li Shen. “I have investigated the matter thoroughly. It’s indeed purely a traffic accident.”

“Is that right?” Li Shen placed down his chopsticks as well. “This time it was an accident, but what about next time? President Chen’s business is so big, what if an unscrupulous competitor did something, what will happen to Linlin?”

Since Chen Yiran would go investigate, it showed that he also suspected that the matter couldn’t be simple. If Linlin really get together with him, there’s no guarantee that someone wouldn’t use Linlin to blackmail him in the future.

“I won’t let that happen.” Chen Yiran said.

Li Shen retorted, “What guarantee do you have?”

Chen Yiran was silent for a moment, then looked back at Li Shen and asked, “Uncle Li, when Aunt Yu was dating you, although you were not yet an international superstar, you were still considered as a top star in the country. Have you ever thought that your extreme fans might not be able to accept your relationship and do something dangerous to Aunt Yu? I see entertainment news reporting such things often.”

Yu Wan: “……”

Taking him as an example, Chen Yiran scored one point in this round.

Li Shen was choked by Chen Yiran’s words. He said to him with an unhappy expression, “Since I’m with her, I will naturally protect her and not let her suffer any harm.”

“I’m the same.” Chen Yiran said.

Li Shen: “……”

Holding a rice bowl, Li Linlin didn’t expect to eat her own melon. She was stunned for a while and then laughed awkwardly. “Haha, what are you talking about? Don’t make it sound like I’m dating Chen Yiran, okay?”

Li Shen reacted immediately and said with a smile, “Linlin is right, she has nothing to do with Chen Yiran. I think it’s Xixi who’s in more danger.”

Chen Yiran: “……”

Yu Wan inwardly gave another point to Team Li Shen.

The two sides went back and forth during lunch. There was no clear winner and it was considered a tie. Li Linlin didn’t seem to want Chen Yiran to stay in the house any longer. After the meal, she packed up Xiao Chaichai’s things and said she would go with Chen Yiran first.

Xiao Chaichai looked docile as she held it in her arms. Li Shen look at it with nostalgia and his heart suddenly became uncomfortable. “Sure enough, Chen Yiran’s dog is just like him, not a good thing.”

His Lili was still better.

Yu Wan sent Li Linlin and Chen Yiran away, and looked at Li Shen who was sulking and laughed. “You can’t bear to part with her? Then raise one yourself.”

Li Shen actually had this idea in mind, but when Lili left, Li Linlin cried so miserably that he was really afraid that she would be sad again.

“Do you think Linlin is really okay?” Li Shen couldn’t help but worry when he thought of the image of her teasing the puppy. “Lili wasn’t even brought up by her at the beginning, but Cheese is still a puppy……”

If she raised it herself, the connection would be deeper.

Yu Wan said, “Linlin isn’t that fragile. A pet’s life isn’t as long as that of a human. Being able to stay by their owner’s side for more than ten or twenty years is already great.”

“You’re right.” Li Shen sighed deeply, then he tentatively asked Yu Wan, “Then are we going to get another pet?”

“Uhm…… How about you try raising a goldfish? I think older people like to raise them.”

Li Shen: “……”

Does his wife think he’s getting old? Heh, he’s a man who could hold a concert for more than two hours without getting out of breath!

“Wanwan, I think it’s necessary for you to rediscover my physical strength.”

Yu Wan: “……”

No, their daughter had just left but he’s already drag racing^[1]talking dirty? No wonder the two didn’t want to stay any longer.

———pr

Li Linlin left and escaped with Chen Yiran. It wasn’t until they returned to Yinwan that Li Linlin realized something. “No, why did I come with you?”

Her mother had urged her to stay at home during this period. Shouldn’t she have given the dog to Chen Yiran and let him go on his own?

Chen Yiran parked the car and walked out carrying the puppy’s things. “It seems that you don’t want to be separated from me.”

Li Linlin: “……”

Chen Yiran mustn’t be disliked enough by her father today.

“Forget it, since I’m already here, I’ll pack some things before leaving.” Li Linlin walked into the elevator while holding Xiao Chaichai. Chen Yiran pressed the button for the 23rd floor. Li Linlin was holding the dog so she couldn’t swipe the card.

After the elevator stopped, Chen Yiran looked at her sideways and said, “I can’t carry so many things so please help me with Xiao Chaichai. I’m afraid she will wander off again.”

Li Linlin looked at the things he’s carrying. In addition to Xiao Chaichai’s supplies she had given Li Shen before, Li Shen bought some more for it when she left. These things did take up both of Chen Yiran’s two hands, but they weren’t really heavy. President Chen couldn’t be so delicate.

“Hurry up, the elevator door is closing.” Chen Yiran walked out with his long legs without giving her much time to think. Xiao Chaichai was still held in Li Linlin’s hand so she walked out before the elevator door closed.

Chen Yiran’s lips inadvertently curled up. He put down the things in his hands and opened the door. Just as the electronic female voice rang, the door opposite opened.

Li Linlin glanced back and saw that it was Lu Ruizhou. He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and a pair of shorts, which gave him a somewhat student-like vibe.

He was stunned when he saw Li Linlin and concern flashed in his eyes. “You’ve been discharged? Ah, um, I saw the news before, saying that you were hospitalized because of a car accident. Umm…… Lu Yuxuan has been worried.”

Chen Yiran frowned slightly and stared at the other person without speaking. Li Linlin smiled at Lu Ruizhou and said, “I’m fine, it’s just a minor injury. It’s not a problem.”

“That’s good.” Lu Ruizhou seemed to be relieved. He looked at Li Linlin and asked, “Then are you coming back to stay here? I—”

“She’ll be staying at home for a while since her parents are worried about her being outside alone.” This time, Chen Yiran spoke first before Li Linlin could answer.

Hearing Chen Yiran’s words, Lu Ruizhou lowered his eyes slightly and concealed his expression. “That’s better. Someone can take care of you at home so you can recover better.”

He put on his shoes and walked out of the house, smiling at the two of them. “I’m going down to buy something so I’ll leave first.”

“Oh, okay.” Li Linlin watched him step into the elevator and the door slowly closed in front of her eyes.

“The person has already left, why are you still looking?” Chen Yiran’s voice came from behind, sounding a little unhappy.

Li Linlin held the dog in her arms and turned to look at him. “What’s wrong with me looking? Who wouldn’t take a second look at a handsome guy?”

“Handsome guy?” Chen Yiran looked at her and smiled. “Am I not handsome enough? You can look at me more.”

“……Wow, I just discovered that President Chen is quite narcissistic.” Li Linlin walked past Chen Yiran with her lips curled up.

Chen Yiran hadn’t stayed there for some time but the house was quite clean and looked spotless. As if recognizing its home, Xiao Chaichai jumped out of Li Linlin’s arms and started running around the living room.

Chen Yiran rearranged its bed and Xiao Chaichai immediately lay down on it after jumping up and down. Chen Yiran chuckled lightly and raised his hand to touch its little head. “You’re quite energetic.”

“Woof.”

Li Linlin saw that he had arranged everything and told him, “I’ll leave first if there’s nothing else.”

“There is.” Chen Yiran stood up immediately and called out to her, “Who said there’s nothing?”

Li Linlin stood in place and looked at him, then clicked her tongue and said, “What other order does President Chen have?”

Chen Yiran pursed his lips and thought for a while before saying, “There are snacks in the refrigerator, do you want to eat?”

“……” Li Linlin said, “Yes.”

Chen Yiran took out all the snacks stocked in the refrigerator. Li Linlin saw pickled chicken feet and reached for them but Chen Yiran snatched it away. “You can’t eat this one yet. Just have some potato chips. Don’t push your luck.”

Li Linlin glanced at him, then reached for the chicken feet when he wasn’t prepared. However, Chen Yiran raised his hand before she could even touch it. Li Linlin groaned and put down her hand. She opened the bag of potato chips on the table. “Fine, I won’t eat it.”

She could just go down and buy it later, hahahaha!

Li Linlin happily fed herself a piece of potato chips and glanced at Chen Yiran next to her. “I didn’t know that you also like this type of snacks.”

Chen Yiran said, “They’re for you.”

“Oh.” Li Linlin fed herself another piece then lowered her head to play with her phone.

After the episode of her and Chen Yiran had aired, the popularity of the show became unexpectedly high. Many people who had been shipping ‘Weifeng Linlin’ started shipping ‘Domineering President and His Little Wife’ overnight.

Li Linlin shook her head. The taste of the general public was really simple. No wonder domineering president stories were so popular. There’s really a market for it.

《Crescent Moon Blood》 was still on the hot search list. Speaking of which, Li Linlin received a message from Tao Ye in the morning, saying that since the drama started airing, their deals had increased, so she should prepare to make a fortune.

When Li Linlin first invested, she really didn’t expect to make money from it. But now that she saw so many Party A Daddies throwing business at the drama, they might really get rich.

“Linlin.” Chen Yiran sat next to her. He looked down at her for a while and couldn’t help but call out in a low voice.

“What?” Li Linlin raised her head and glanced at him, some crumbs of potato chips still stuck to the corner of her mouth.

Chen Yiran’s lips lifted slightly. He raised his hand and slowly wiped the crumbs off Li Linlin’s face with his thumb. “I’ve told you many times but you’re still eating like this.”

Li Linlin froze in place as soon as his hand touched her. She felt like a loser. Although she wanted to draw a clear line with Chen Yiran in her heart and her mouth were full of unforgiving words, the moment Chen Yiran touch her, her heart would beat uncontrollably.

Not only her heart, but also the places he touches would become hot, as if it was burning.

Could it be that her body had been starving for too long???

She stiffened, then jerked back and dodged Chen Yiran’s hand. “Just talk, no need to get all handsy.”

Chen Yiran looked at her, but not only did he not take his hand back, he even leaned forward and slowly approached her. “Linlin, can we make peace? Stop calling me President Chen and ignoring me.”

“……” Li Linlin felt his breath fall on her face and she braced her hand on the armrest of the chair. “W-we can talk it out. Y-you’re still my Brother Yiran.”

Chen Yiran brows gently furrowed and he leaned even closer. “But I don’t want to be your brother.”
