Chen Yiran spoke in a low voice that carried an indescribable emotion. In short…… it sounded extremely sexy. Li Linlin had never heard him speak like that before and her heart started beating faster.

“Linlin.” Chen Yiran called out her name and leaned closer still. Li Linlin’s brain stopped for a moment, then she abruptly pushed him away and stood up from the sofa.

“That-!” Li Linlin didn’t even look at Chen Yiran, threw down the potato chips and ran away. “I’m going home first!”

Chen Yiran remained in place and watched her slammed the door shut with a deafening sound.

“Woof, woof.” Perhaps because Li Linlin closed the door too loudly, Xiao Chaichai, who was lying in its bed, rush up to Chen Yiran to be held.

Chen Yiran bent down and picked up Xiao Chaichai. He placed it on his lap with his lips slightly curled up and smooth out Xiao Chaichai’s fur. “She can surprisingly react.”

He let out a low chuckle. He would have to trap someone next time.

After Li Linlin fled from Chen Yiran’s house, she completely forgot about secretly buying snacks. She called the driver to pick her up, went back to their rented unit to pack some things, and then returned to her family’s villa.

In the past few days while she was recuperating at home, Li Linlin had no contact with Chen Yiran. She just checked Moments every day and could see Chen Yiran’s posts, either photos or videos of Xiao Chaichai.

Li Linlin didn’t know why she was acting stealthily. She didn’t even dare to give him likes and could only secretly save the pictures on her phone.

She often dreamed these nights and it was all about Chen Yiran. She used to dream about him from time to time, but something was different now, because in her dreams, the atmosphere between her and Chen Yiran was always ambiguous and full of hormones.

……She thought she might’ve been single for too long that’s why her body had now a mind of its own.

How about going to the KTV and looking for the little brothers? Although they couldn’t be taken away, touching was still possible.

As if they have a tacit understanding with her, the ladies group also made an appointment to have dinner and go singing.

【Li Linlin: Hands up.】

【Fresh Meat Harvester: Oh, Little Sister Linlin wants to go as well? Does President Chen agree?】

【Li Linlin: ……Why do I need his consent? He’s not my guardian, and besides, I’m already an adult.】

【Seek Women With Great Wealth: Don’t Ann and the others live downstairs from you? You can go to them any time you want [Grin].】

【Li Linlin: I still think the atmosphere in the KTV is different.】

【Fresh Meat Harvester: Right? I’ve always said it.】

【Fresh Meat Harvester: Alright, I’ll bring you along. Anyway, it’s not the first time I’ve offended President Chen.】

After talking with Madam Qiu and the others, Li Linlin specially sent a message to Chen Xi and asked her if she wanted to go together. As for Wu Hui, she didn’t notify her. She now understood that Wu Hui’s tongue was too loose. If she told her, her father and Chen Yiran might have already known everything before she and Chen Xi even reached the door of the KTV.

【Linlin: Let’s keep it secret. Don’t tell Wu Hui’er.】

【Xixi: Understood √】

【Xixi: But you’ve just been injured, is it okay to go to such an exciting place?】

【Linlin: My wound’s already fine! Rest assured!】

Chen Xi: “……”

Alright.

Manager Deng looked at the glamorous ladies and young girls in front of him and had only one question in his mind——

Why was it always when he’s on duty? Why!?

“Ladies, the private room has been prepared for you. This way please.” Manager Deng maintained a smile on his face and personally led several people into the private room.

Whenever Madam Qiu’s group came to sing, they always called for familiar boys, so Li Linlin and Chen Xi weren’t surprised to see their neighbors there.

Lu Ruizhou was a bit startled when he saw Li Linlin sitting inside, but there were many guests present at the moment, so it wasn’t good to show it.

“Ann, you can sit next to Linlin since you two are familiar with each other.” Madam Qiu meaningfully arranged Lu Ruizhou next to Li Linlin.

Lu Ruizhou sat down on the sofa next to Li Linlin and opened a bottle of juice for her. “Is your injury better?”

“It’s fine, it’s fine.” Li Linlin touched the hat on her head. Wearing a hat wasn’t to cover the wound on the head, but…… to cover the bald patch. 🙂

“That’s good.” Someone was already singing in the private room. Even if Lu Ruizhou was sitting next to Li Linlin, he still had to raise the volume of his voice so that she could hear him clearly.

Chen Xi was singing a love song duet with Madam Qiu and she was singing in a baritone voice, directly stealing the little brother’s job. Li Linlin listened with great interest. While eating snacks, she looked at Chen Xi. “I didn’t expect Xixi to have so many hidden talents!”

When they came to sing together with Wu Hui, they sang new popular songs or those that became popular when they were still in high school that claimed to be the tears of the era. But the songs Madam Qiu and the others placed were the real deal. Unexpectedly, Chen Xi could sing them all.

“I feel like she’s my dad’s real daughter.” Li Linlin roasted herself.

The little brothers who had heard Li Linlin howl in the private room last time tacitly agreed in their hearts. “That’s not true.”

After Madam Qiu and Chen Xi finished their duet, she handed the microphone over to Kevin who was on the side. She sat down and took a sip of wine, then asked Li Linlin on the opposite side with a smile, “Did you and President Chen quarrel?”

“Pfft, cough, cough.” Li Linlin choked on the juice in her mouth. She looked at Madam Qui and said, “Sister Xiao Qiu, why do you always associate me with him?”

Madam Qiu said, “Oh, didn’t you always mention Brother Yiran whenever you speak?”

“That’s in the past. He and I……” Li Linlin wanted to say that they had broken ties, but remembered that the last time she sent Xiao Chaichai back, she agreed to let him be Brother Yiran again.

“You and him are what?” Madam Qiu looked at her with interest.

“It’s nothing.” Chen Yiran’s sentence ‘I don’t want to be your brother’ suddenly echoed in her ears, making it feel a little hot.

Madam Qiu took another sip of wine, shook the glass in her hand and said to Li Linlin, “Chen Yiran is much older than you, right? Is he thirty years old?”

“Ah? Almost.”

Madam Qiu approached and leaned in her ear, speaking slowly, “Listen to Sister’s advice, we should look for younger men. Half of the men in their thirties can no longer perform.”

“……” It was unknown if it was because Madam Qui spoke with a slight smell of alcohol, but Li Linlin’s face felt a little hot.

“Linlin, you’re at a KTV, why are you sitting there all the time?” Chen Xi shoved a microphone into Li Linlin’s hand. “Get up and sing!”

Li Linlin wasn’t drunk this time so her singing wasn’t as frightening as last time. The little brothers in the private room all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The group sang for a full four hours before packing up and preparing to leave the private room.

“I’ll treat you all to dinner tonight. Come on, go eat with Sister.” Madam Qiu picked up her bag and winked at the two little sisters.

Li Linlin and Chen Xi also grabbed their things and followed everyone out. But as they were about to step out, they saw Madam Qiu standing at the doorway without moving. Li Linlin stretched her neck curiously and glanced ahead——

Good heavens, Chen Yiran was sitting on the sofa outside their private room while working???

This scene was so fantastical that Li Linlin thought for a moment that she was dreaming again.

Seeing Li Linlin coming out, Chen Yiran closed the laptop in front of him, stood up leisurely and straightened the cuffs of his suit. “Had a good time?”

Li Linlin: “……”

She subconsciously ducked behind Madam Qiu. She seemed to understand why Wu Hui was afraid of Chen Yiran.

He really appeared scary.

Madam Qiu was also stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses and smiled at Chen Yiran. “Hey, isn’t this President Chen? Are you here to handle official business?”

She glanced at the laptop placed on the small coffee table and folded her hands in front of her. “I can’t understand this. Is the president’s office at Huachuang uncomfortable?”

Chen Yiran took a step forward and looked at Li Linlin who was hiding behind the other party. “Madam Qiu misunderstood, I’m waiting for someone.”

Li Linlin quickly turned around and said to Chen Xi behind her. “Your brother has come to find you!”

Chen Xi: “……”

Why did she get that feeling that he wasn’t there to find her?

Madam Qiu said, “Then why didn’t President Chen go and wait inside? Why do you look like you’re suffering an injustice?”

Chen Yiran glanced at Li Linlin, before curling his lips coldly and telling Madam Qiu, “Isn’t it because I’m afraid I’ll disturb your entertainment?”

Li Linlin: “……”

Why was Chen Yiran so scary when he’s being sarcastic?!

“It’s over, I feel like my brother is going to eat people.” Chen Xi tugged on Li Linlin’s clothes and whispered to her. “You’re the one who called me over today!”

Li Linlin: “???”

Who’s having the most fun inside just now??? It’s you, Chen Xi!

“How on earth did he know we’re here?” Li Linlin couldn’t figure it out. Did Chen Yiran install a GPS on them? They didn’t even tell Wu Hui, so how did Chen Yiran know?

“Does Huachuang also have shares here?”

Chen Xi: “……”

She didn’t know either.

“Since you two are done singing, I’ll take you back.” Chen Yiran went up and took out Li Linlin and Chen Xi. “Madam Qiu, my family’s sister isn’t sensible yet. Don’t bring them with you when you go out to play in the future.”

After Chen Yiran said this, someone came up to put away the laptop he had just used for office work. Assistant Wu also walked over and said to Li Linlin and Chen Xi with a smile on his face, “Young ladies, let’s go.”

The two young ladies followed him, looking back at Madam Qiu and others after every step. Chen Yiran didn’t say anything more to Madam Qiu. He just glanced at Lu Ruizhou who was standing at the door of the private room and left without saying a word.

Chen Xi followed Li Linlin into the car and panicked. “Linlin, why don’t we run away before my brother comes?”

“Run where?” Li Linlin had already given up resistance. “I’ve thought it over. Chen Yiran is your brother, not mine, why should I be afraid?”

Chen Xi: “……”

But the way he acted just now was clearly to catch his wife!

There was a sound of footsteps and Chen Xi looked out the window nervously. “Brother Yiran’s here. We’re in trouble.”

Chen Yiran walked straight to the car, opened the door, and got into the driver’s seat. “Fasten your seatbelts.”

Chen Xi and Li Linlin looked at each other, then silently did as they were told. No one else got in the car and after Chen Yiran fastened his seat belt, he drove away.

He didn’t speak again along the way and Chen Xi only dared to chat with Li Linlin on her phone. Suddenly, the car stopped, and Chen Yiran, who was sitting in the front row, said, “Xixi, get out of the car.”
