After returning to her room, Shiyin looked down at her clothes, making sure they were presentable before accepting the video call.

In an instant, Zhou Chengyuan’s face appeared before her.

The man was using a tablet, which was placed on his desk. He was sitting in his study, wearing only a bathrobe, revealing a patch of skin on his chest. A glass of red wine was placed beside him.

Shiyin’s eyes curved into crescent moons, and she raised a faint smile, calling out to Zhou Chengyuan in a well-behaved manner, “Little Uncle.”

“Aren’t you asleep yet?”

Zhou Chengyuan hummed, his gaze gentle as he stared at her through the screen, casually saying, “I suddenly can’t adapt.”

Shiyin was stunned, “Ah?”

“I can’t hold you, I can’t sleep.” He said.

Shiyin: “…”

Her cheeks flushed. Zhou Chengyuan swirled his wine glass, seeing her outfit, he asked, “Haven’t you washed up yet?”

“Uh,” Shiyin pouted, “We finished filming late today, and I just went to Ran’s room, I haven’t had time to wash up yet.”

“Ran?” Zhou Chengyuan narrowed his eyes.

Shiyin could feel his dangerous aura through the screen. She quickly explained, “It’s my manager, Meng Ran! I’m used to calling her Ran.”

Zhou Chengyuan, however, chuckled with amusement, “I know.”

Huh?

Shiyin really wanted to throw a black question mark at him!

Why are you using such a blatant threatening tone to ask me back!

“How was it today? Did you encounter anything fun or interesting?” Zhou Chengyuan chatted with her casually.

Shiyin thought for a moment. She didn’t seem to have encountered anything special.

So, she started to make up nonsense, “I saw a bunch of beautiful little sisters!”

Zhou Chengyuan curved the corners of his lips, “None of them are as beautiful as you.”

Shiyin: “…”

Shiyin, who was teased by him, mumbled, “You haven’t seen them, how do you know they’re not as pretty as me…”

Before she could finish, she heard Zhou Chengyuan say, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”

“You are my beauty.”

Shiyin blinked, and then she heard Zhou Chengyuan ask, “Anything else? Fun people or things?”

Shiyin thought for a moment, “Ah,” she said, “I met a really talented and cute little sister. I decided to be friends with her!”

“My Shiyin is so likable, she will definitely like you.” Zhou Chengyuan said.

Shiyin chuckled, “Of course!

She has the protagonist aura!

“Nothing else?”

Shiyin felt that Zhou Chengyuan was strange tonight. He kept asking her if there were any fun people or things. Why was he asking this?

Shiyin’s brain worked quickly, going through everything that had happened from the time she left Zhou’s house to the time she entered this room, going through all the people she had met.

Then, she caught the key point.

Zhou Siyang.

Zhou Siyang came to Qingyang. If Zhou Chengyuan wanted to know, he would have countless ways to find out.

He couldn’t hide this from him.

So, was he waiting for her to tell him herself?

But how did he know for sure that Zhou Siyang met her?

Could it be… he has his eyes and ears everywhere?

Damn! That’s scary!

Shiyin swallowed, intending to tell him the truth about Zhou Siyang coming to Qingyang, but before she did, she asked Zhou Chengyuan tentatively, “Little Uncle, do you know that Big Nephew came to Qingyang?”

Zhou Chengyuan’s brow furrowed slightly, “Oh?”

He questioned, “Siyang went to Qingyang?” Then he frowned, “He didn’t tell the family. My father and I don’t know he went to Qingyang.”

After asking, Shiyin carefully observed Zhou Chengyuan. However, she discovered that Zhou Chengyuan seemed to genuinely not know.

Shiyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed she was overthinking.

She also put on a confused expression and said to Zhou Chengyuan, “I was surprised to see him too. I asked him why he came to Qingyang, and he said he was inspecting the work.”

“But,” Shiyin said with a gossipy look, giggling, “I saw him with his college girlfriend at dinner tonight.”

“Do you think he came to secretly meet his old flame?”

Zhou Chengyuan saw Shiyin’s gossipy expression, suppressed the darkness in his eyes, and shook his head with a chuckle, “Maybe.”

“I don’t want to hear about them. I want to hear Shiyin talk about fun and interesting things.” Zhou Chengyuan changed the subject, seeming to be uninterested in knowing more about Zhou Siyang and Xia Ling.

Shiyin bit her lip.

Isn’t it enough that she’s already mentioned Zhou Siyang?

What exactly does this man want to hear from her?

She once again recalled everything that happened today and truly felt that there was nothing else to say.

Shiyin raised her eyes to look at Zhou Chengyuan. The man was staring at her, his light brown eyes filled with a faint smile.

For some reason, Shiyin suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Her brain was as if it had been opened, and she knew what to tell Zhou Chengyuan.

Shiyin began to use all her charm to act cute. She pouted and said, “Where are there any fun people or things? I can’t make up anything! I feel like everything is so boring without Little Uncle. Even eating is tasteless.”

“Little Uncle,” she looked at him with pleading eyes, her voice filled with grievance, “Why haven’t you come to accompany me yet?”

As expected, the corners of Zhou Chengyuan’s mouth curled up.

“Shiyin misses me?” He asked in a low voice.

“Of course!” Shiyin’s big eyes blinked and blinked. She pursed her lips, secretly clenched her hands, and mustered her courage, “You’re not here, Shiyin isn’t used to it!”

Damn! Shiyin cursed in her heart. Her survival instinct was really strong. She could actually say that.

A glimmer of light flashed in Zhou Chengyuan’s eyes. His voice was gentle and filled with a smile, “Be good, wait a few more days. Little Uncle will take care of things here and then come over.”

Shiyin didn’t know what he meant by taking care of things, but she knew it was about the company, so she didn’t ask further. She just nodded obediently and agreed, “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

The two of them chatted for a while longer. Zhou Chengyuan saw that Shiyin was yawning, so he told her to go to sleep and reminded her not to catch a cold.

Shiyin nodded, said goodnight to him, and hung up the video call.

She threw her phone on the bed, lay back, and sprawled on the bed in a completely unladylike way.

This dog man, he asked her so many times if there were any fun people or things, and it turned out he just wanted to hear her say she missed him.

So dog!

Couldn’t he just say what he wanted to hear? He had to make her guess, making her brain cells die every time she guessed!

Little Uncle’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!

Shiyin kept complaining about Zhou Chengyuan in her heart, slowly closing her eyes. She turned over, lay on her side on the bed, and mumbled, “I don’t want you to come! It’s best if you can’t come to Qingyang.”

“Don’t come, let me film properly and wait to become a widow. That’s better.”

Zhou Chengyuan didn’t know that Shiyin was praying for him not to go to Qingyang at this moment. He was still sitting in his armchair, arms folded across his chest, recalling Shiyin’s words just now.

Old flame…

Heh.

That kid didn’t go to see his college girlfriend, he went to see you, Shiyin.

The corners of Zhou Chengyuan’s mouth curled into a cold smile. He reached out, picked up his wine glass, and drank the red wine in one gulp. Then, he placed the glass on the table.

Zhou Chengyuan got up, opened the study door, walked to the bedroom, picked up his phone, and sent a text message.
