While several people were talking, Chen Xi also arrived. She came in with an unfamiliar woman, whom Li Linlin had never seen before.

When Chen Yiran saw the new comers, he took the initiative to introduce them, “This is Ms. Xiao from Shengteng. She’s the producer of 《Doll Amidst the Flowers 5》.”

“Hello, Ms. Xiao.” Mu Chengzhou greeted Xiao Li, and Li Linlin and Wu Hui also followed suit.

“This is my sister Chen Xi. She’ll be studying under Bai Nanli this time.”

Li Linlin glanced at Chen Xi in surprised. Goodness, they haven’t seen each other for only a few days and Chen Xi’s already connected with Bai Nanli!

Bai Nanli was an internationally renowned fashion designer and has a strong voice in the fashion industry. Chen Yiran mentioned him, which definitely meant that Bai Nanli and his team would be responsible for the costume styling of this movie. Chen Xi could learn a lot if she had the opportunity to follow him around, even if she’s only doing odd jobs!

Chen Xi also glanced at Li Linlin, and then grinned. “I just received the news as well.”

Li Linlin: “……”

Who doesn’t?

Wu Hui’s thoughts were even more complicated. Was this how the rich establish a career? Their starting point could be someone else’s ending point!

Just when she was thinking of this, Chen Yiran called her name, “Wu Hui, all the contact between Linlin and the crew will be entrusted to you. Linlin said before that you’ll grow together, so let me see how far you can reach.”

“……” Wu Hui stood up from her seat with a stiff spine. “Rest assured, President Chen, you can give me the task without any problem. I promise to complete it!”

She didn’t expect to be responsible for such a large cooperation before she even graduated from university!

“Learn more from Ms. Xiao.”

“Understood. Thank you, President Chen. Thank you, Ms. Xiao!”

“……” Li Linlin grabbed Wu Hui’s wrist and pulled her to her seat. She whispered, “Sit down. That’s not necessary.”

Wu Hui: “……”

Why not?! This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

President Chen’s awesome!

“Since everyone’s here, let’s eat.”

Chen Yiran motioned for the waiter at the door to start serving the food. Li Linlin subconsciously asked, “Bai Nanli isn’t coming over?”

Chen Yiran glanced at her, “You want to see him?”

“……He’s a legend in the fashion world, of course I want to meet him if there’s a chance.” Li Linlin felt inexplicably guilty when he looked at her. “Besides, isn’t Xixi going to be his apprentice? We can take this opportunity establish a connection with him.”

“Establish a connection with him?”

“I’m talking about Xixi and Bai Nanli.”

“There’s no need for you to worry about that.” Chen Yiran took the warm towel handed by the waiter and wiped his fingers. “Bai Nanli is very busy and can’t come today. There’ll be other opportunities in the future.”

“Oh.” Li Linlin also wiped her hands with a towel and muttered, “Aren’t you busy at work, President Chen?”

Chen Yiran said, “This is my job.”

Heh. Dining with a group of beautiful women also counts as work.

Li Linlin wanted to roll her eyes.

Chen Xi clicked her tongue from the side and whispered in Li Linlin’s ear, “Be more restrained. Teacher Mu Chengzhou and Ms. Xiao are here today, stop showing off your affection here.”

Li Linlin: “……”

How was it showing off affection? She’s obviously complaining!

Sure enough, in the eyes of singles, everything others do was a show of affection.

Overall, it was a pleasant meal and the atmosphere at the dining table was harmonious. Seeing that Wu Hui was in a particularly good mood today, Li Linlin nibbled on two pig trotters in front of her.

After dinner, Chen Yiran didn’t arrange any other activities and everyone discussed going home. Mu Chengzhou was picked up by a driver. Chen Xi came on Xiao Li’s car, and Xiao Li was also responsible for taking her home. Li Linlin originally planned to have the driver drop off Wu Hui first before sending her home, but she was stopped by Chen Yiran.

“I’ll send you home and the driver can send Wu Hui. I drove here in my car.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Hui immediately drew a clear line with Li Linlin. “Right, right, let President Chen give you a ride. Yinwan isn’t the same direction as your home.”

Wu Hui wasn’t from A City. Now that the school was on vacation, she didn’t apply to stay on campus. She’s staying at Yinwan since they were still renting the house there.

She didn’t give Li Linlin a chance to refuse and trotted off to find the driver. Chen Yiran held the car keys in his hand and glanced at Li Linlin beside him. “Let’s go as well.”

“……Okay.” She could only leave with him now. Wu Hui didn’t look like her manager, but Chen Yiran’s lackey.

Following Chen Yiran into the car, Li Linlin yawned while fastening her seat belt.

Chen Yiran glanced sideways at her with a slight chuckle. “Sleepy?”

“A little bit. I’m full, so I want to sleep.”

“No wonder Wu Hui worry about your figure every day.” Chen Yiran also fastened his seat belt. “You’re going to shoot a movie, so you still have to pay attention to it.”

“I know, I actually don’t gain weight that easily.” Li Linlin said with some dissatisfaction. In the past, Chen Yiran used to secretly buy milk tea for her. Now he actually learned from Wu Hui and asked her to pay attention to her figure!

“Okay, okay, okay, why are you getting angry?” Chen Yiran laughed softy. He looked at her and asked, “Do you want to see Xiao Chaichai? You haven’t visited her lately. She misses you.”

As soon as he mentioned Xiao Chaichai, Li Linlin really kind of wanted to go see it. Chen Yiran would send her photos and videos of Xiao Chaichai every day, but after all, she couldn’t pet it in person, so she was a bit envious.

“Sure. But it’s getting late now……”

“It’s fine. If it became really late, you can just stay over at Yinwan.”

“……” It’s a good idea, but why did he let Wu Hui’er go alone just now? Since they’re all going to Yinwan, wasn’t it more convenient to go together?

Seeing that she was silent, Chen Yiran took it as an agreement and drove the car in the direction of Yinwan.

Li Linlin yawned a few more times in the car. It seemed she really ate her full that night.

Li Linlin hadn’t stayed over at Yinwan since the last time she was caught by Chen Yiran at the KTV. She didn’t go upstairs when she arrived, but followed Chen Yiran to the 23rd floor.

As soon as he and Chen Yiran walked towards the door, Xiao Chaichai’s barks could be heard from inside.

“She knows we’re back.” Chen Yiran opened the door and Xiao Chaichai pounced on him, as if it had been waiting for a long time. Chen Yiran bent down to pick it up and touched its little head. “Be good, stop acting spoiled whenever I came back.”

“Woof!”

Chen Yiran held it as he changed his shoes. He walked into the house and stood in the entrance waiting for Li Linlin who’s still changing her shoes. “Do you think a male dog won’t be as coquettish?”

“I have no idea. Lili is also a little princess.” Li Linlin closed the door behind her. “Lili likes to act coquettish too and also has a big temper. When she’s unhappy, she’ll eat the flowers and plants that my dad planted and isn’t afraid of getting sick from eating them. Sometimes when she’s upset, she’ll ignore you. She’ll lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, and it takes a long time to coax her.”

When Lili was mentioned, Li Linlin felt a little sour in her heart again. “But I still like her very much.”

Chen Yiran’s eyes moved. He put down Xiao Chaichai and raised his hand to touch her head. “Be good, you still have Xiao Chaichai.”

Li Linlin scrunched her nose and swatted his hand in disgust. “I’ve told you before, don’t touch my head after you’ve petted the dog. I just washed it before going out today!”

Chen Yiran let out a low laugh. Xiao Chaichai circled around Li Linlin’s feet twice, then licked her calf with its tongue.

Li Linlin picked it up and stroked its head like Chen Yiran did just now. “Xiao Chaichai, did you miss me?”

“Woof.”

“Good girl. Give me a kiss!

Li Linlin leaned towards Xiao Chaichai as she spoke, and as if understanding what she meant, Xiao Chaichai licked her nose.

Chen Yiran watched the interaction between one person and one dog, and the corners of his mouth silently twitched. She disliked it when he touched her head, but she didn’t mind kissing Xiao Chaichai.

He’s treatment wasn’t as good as that of a dog.

It was probably because Li Linlin’s emotions went up and down drastically today that after messing around with Xiao Chaichai for a while, she felt drowsy again and even fell asleep on the sofa.

When Chen Yiran came out of the shower, he saw her lying on the sofa, and Xiao Chaichai was sleeping next to her, forgetting its own bed.

Chen Yiran smiled and shook his head. He first walked over and gently carried Xiao Chaichai back to its bed, and then turned to Li Linlin.

He didn’t wake her, but picked her up equally gently and walked back to his bedroom.

There’s only one bedside lamp turned on in the room, emitting a warm yellow light, which looked particularly soothing in the night.

Chen Yiran put Li Linlin on the bed, looked at her for a moment, then walked back to the living room to carry her bag over.

The last time Li Linlin was drunk, he helped her remove her makeup. It was his second time doing so and he was obviously much more proficient. Although the bag Li Linlin carried was different, there were still several makeup remover wipes in it.

Chen Yiran tore open a piece and gently wiped Li Linlin’s eyebrows bit by bit.

“Mmm……” As if she felt someone disturbing her sleep, Li Linlin unconsciously raised her hand and swatted at the thing.

There was a thwack.

Chen Yiran: “……”

He looked at the back of his hand that was slapped red by Li Linlin and stifled a laugh. Linlin really didn’t show any mercy at all.

“Alright, be good. I’m helping you remove your makeup, so you’ll have to be good to me tomorrow.” Chen Yiran first patted her head gently like a child before continuing with the task.

This time Li Linlin was better-behaved than before and she seemed to feel comfortable after being wiped by Chen Yiran that she even hummed like a kitten.

Her appearance looked so much like a little cat that it tickled Chen Yiran’s heart.

He never knew he liked small animals so much.

After completing the task, he put down the wipes and raised his hand to brush the hair on Li Linlin’s face to the side. He then bent down to gently kiss the tip of her nose. Li Linlin didn’t react at all, and his kiss slowly went down, finally stopping on her soft lips, pecking it gently like a dragonfly touching water.

“Mmm……” Li Linlin hummed again and Chen Yiran slightly pulled away from her. He looked at the person in front of him through the warm yellow light in the room.

In the beginning, he really only regarded Li Linlin as his sister. From when exactly did he start to desire her as a man to a woman?

Chen Yiran had pondered over this question for a long time but hadn’t come up with an answer. However, that wasn’t important anymore.

“How can I not fall like this?” He caressed the side of Li Linlin’s face and murmured, “Even if you’re sometimes stubborn and headstrong or even ignore me, I still really like you.”
