 Chapter 1

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Late autumn night, in Xuanhua Hospital bed 688 laid a pale girl.


    Next to the bed, a lady who was wearing a black sweater and a blue light necklace gently wiped the wet cotton swab on the pale girl¡¯s lips. The pain on her face was obvious.


    Turning back time to the morning.


    A girl was pulling at a boy, and they were standing on the beach. She said, ¡°Lu Shaoyu, why are you and He Xue¡¯er so close together? I liked you for a long time, and yet you do not look at me that way. I order you to stay away from her.¡±


    The boy turned a deaf ear to her and wore an impatient expression. The girl arrogantly continued, ¡°if you don¡¯t stay away from her, I¡¯ll tell her to stay away from you.¡±


    The boy shook off the girl¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Lin Yan, how many times have I told you? I don¡¯t like you. I¡¯ve never liked you from the beginning. Why can¡¯t you let me go? I will change whatever it is you like about me. However, if you dare to touch He Xue¡¯er, the consequences are not something you can bear.¡±


    The girl heard the boy defend He Xue¡¯er and said angrily, ¡°you don¡¯t think I dare touch her? I¡¯ll do it so you can see.¡±


    The boy felt that the girl was unreasonable and did not want to pay attention to the girl anymore. He turned around and was about to leave. The girl watched her beloved walk away and said fiercely, ¡°if you leave, I¡¯ll jump down from here.¡±


    The boy continued to walk further away. The girl watched the boy walk further and further away. With a sad expression, she jumped into the sea. Then, the world turned dark.


    Back to the present, the girl was rescued and laying on the hospital bed. The girl¡¯s name was Lin Yan.


    Lin Yan slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the square-shaped white ceiling, the dazzling lights, and blinked her eyes.


    Then she looked to the side and saw a man in his 30¡¯s hugging a woman on a sofa next to her. The woman could not hide the pain on her face.


    Lin Yan blinked repeatedly. She rubbed her eyes and closed them, thinking, ¡®yes, yes, yes, I¡¯m dreaming, I¡¯m still dreaming.¡¯


    After a while, Lin Yan made up her mind to open her eyes again. When she saw them again, she was so scared that she cried out, ¡°mama!¡±


    The woman beside the bed was so happy that she started crying. She said, ¡°Yanyan, you¡¯re awake. Mama has always been here, always here.¡± Her hand slowly stroked the girl¡¯s head and said, ¡°don¡¯t be afraid, don¡¯t be afraid.¡±


    Lin Yan reached out and rubbed her head. She sat up and looked at the two people in front of her. She said, ¡°who are you? What are you doing here? I don¡¯t know you.¡±


    Then, she rubbed her head and muttered, ¡°you got me to drink beer, and now I¡¯m in the hospital. If I find you, I won¡¯t let you off easily, you little bastard.¡±


    The man and the lady beside them looked at each other. The lady looked sad and said to the man, ¡°Yanyan, you don¡¯t recognize us anymore. What should we do, hubby?¡±


    The man half-hugged the woman and said, ¡°don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll ask the doctor. You stay here with Yanyan.¡±


    The man walked out of the ward quickly. The woman hugged Lin Yan and said anxiously, ¡°Yanyan, I¡¯m your mother. Don¡¯t you know your mother?¡±


    Lin Yan struggled out and said, ¡°who do you think you are? Are you my mother?¡±


    She pointed at her and the woman and said, ¡°although I don¡¯t know what my mother looks like¡­ Look at us, we don¡¯t look the same. You are definitely not my mother. My mother is definitely not like you. Auntie, no, sister, are you in the wrong ward?¡±


    The lady was struck by Lin Yan¡¯s words. Her body, which had not been rested, was on the verge of collapse.


    Lin Yan was so scared that she quickly got up to support the lady. From the corner of her eyes, she saw her own hands and looked at her own clothes.


    She was so startled by what she saw that she retreated from the lady. She widened her eyes and said to the lady, ¡°where is the bathroom?¡±


    The lady was about to collapse and she sat on the bed. She looked at Lin Yan and pointed, ¡°there.¡±


    Lin Yan immediately ran into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Her eyes were like stars, her eyebrows were like willow leaves, and her lips were hanging slightly open.


    She thought of ¡®the so-called beauty takes the flowers as her appearance, the birds as her voice, the moon as her god, the willow as her form, the jade as her bone, the ice and snow as her skin, and the autumn water as her form¡¯.


    Her beauty was so breathtaking that it made everything lose its color. It was difficult to hide her beauty even in her sickness.


    After regaining her senses, Lin Yan looked at herself in the mirror and said, ¡°tsk tsk, this body, this face. So this is me now?¡±


    After saying that, Lin Yan thought in a daze, ¡°who am I? Where did I come from? Where do I want to go? It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over.¡±


    ¡°Wait, if this isn¡¯t me, then have I transmigrated, and penetrated a soul? Where¡¯s my golden finger? System, system, come out right now. If I don¡¯t come out soon, I¡¯ll teach you a lesson.¡±


    After calling a few times, Lin Yan saw that the small room had not moved at all. The system interface that she expected to appear was nowhere to be found. She sat on the toilet lid and was stunned.


    Then, she seemed to have thought of something as she stood up and touched her body to see if there were any valuable items on her. She saw the jade necklace that was glowing with purple light on her neck.


    She immediately took it off and held it in her hand. Her mind was filled with thoughts. She said, ¡°as expected, the heavens have not let me down. This must be a blood identification device.¡±


    Then, Lin Yan found a sharp tool in the bathroom.

    At this moment, there was a knock on the door.


    The lady knocked and shouted, ¡°Yanyan, what¡¯s wrong? Did something happen to you? Let mommy see if you¡¯re okay.¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes. The doctor is here. Let the doctor see if you¡¯re okay. Come out first, okay?¡±


    Lin Yan listened to the call outside and decided to put her weapon away. She would solve the secret of transmigration later.


    She opened the door and looked at the anxious women and men outside, as well as the vast expanse of white coats. Lin Yan walked slowly to the hospital bed.


    After a series of examinations and inquiries, the doctor finally determined that she had amnesia. After diving, her brain suffered from asphyxiation and amnesia. The man escorted the doctor out of the ward.


    The woman looked at Lin Yan who was staring at her and said, ¡°Yan Yan, I am your mother. If you don¡¯t remember anything, you will slowly recover. You will remember eventually. We are not in a hurry. We are not in a hurry.¡±


    Lin Yan looked at the mother¡¯s overwhelming love for her child, and her heart was aching. She had grown up in an orphanage. She was used to the mental fortitude she had to protect herself. She was not afraid of anything.


    Looking at the strange lady in front of her who was looking at her with deep affection, she could not help but say, ¡°don¡¯t be sad, I am not in pain.¡± Then she sobbed and muttered, ¡°mother.¡±


    The man walked over and hugged the lady. ¡°Zuoqing, since Yanyan doesn¡¯t remember us, let¡¯s introduce ourselves and let her remember again.¡±.


    The lady said excitedly, ¡°Yes, yes, yes, Yanyan, I¡¯m your mom. I¡¯m Luo Zuoqing. This is your dad. He¡¯s Lin Cheng. You¡¯re Lin Yan. You¡¯re the most precious daughter in our family.¡±


    ¡°You also have a younger brother. His name is Lin Yu. He¡¯s still in school, so he didn¡¯t come. You still have your grandparents. They all said that they would come. I told them to come tomorrow.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s too late tonight. Don¡¯t think too much. You have to go to bed early and take good care of your body. Father and mother are both here. Don¡¯t be afraid.¡±


    Lin Yan listened to her mother¡¯s self-introduction and thought, ¡®why is this name so familiar? Do I really not know them?¡¯


    She patted her head and looked at the stranger in front of her with wide eyes.


    She thought, ¡®oh my God, I am a veteran novel reader. I think I am righteous. Did I offend you, author?¡¯


    ¡®Why did you make me Yu Xue¡¯s evil supporting actress? She¡¯s so fair, rich, and beautiful. She¡¯s just a short-lived, loathsome troublemaker who ends up dying alone.¡¯


    Luo Zhuoqing and Lin Cheng looked at their daughter¡¯s vexed expression, puzzled.


    Luo Zhuoqing said, ¡°daughter, don¡¯t be sad. I¡¯ve asked your father to call your uncle Lu. The third son of the Lu family will come to see you tomorrow.¡±.


    Lin Yan was frightened and said, ¡°no, no, no. Don¡¯t come to see me. I¡¯m fine. He doesn¡¯t need to come.¡±


    Luo Zuoqing said, ¡°baby, have you thought it through? The third son of the Lu family isn¡¯t very outstanding either. He¡¯s not good enough for my daughter.¡±


    Lin Yan nodded and said with difficulty, ¡°yes, I¡¯ve thought it through. I don¡¯t like him anymore. I can¡¯t afford to offend him.¡±


    Although Luo Zuoqing did not understand what her daughter was saying, when she heard her daughter¡¯s words, she looked at her husband with gratification. After saying a few comforting words, they left the ward.


    Lin Yan watched her parents leave and immediately jumped up from the bed. She saw the IV tube next to her and she ruthlessly stabbed it into her hand, dripping blood onto the necklace.


    She silently chanted in her heart, ¡®Heaven, Earth, heaven, quickly show yourself.¡¯ She clasped her hands together and prayed.


    However, a miracle did not happen. The purple jade was still lying in her palm, and the space did not appear. Lin Yan looked at the jade and wailed, ¡°I came here without taking any of my powers with me. Am I here just to receive a beating?¡±


    ¡°No, no. It was not easy for me to become a fair, rich, and beautiful woman who does not need to struggle. No matter what, I have to live a wonderful life. The world must treat me well.¡±


    Lin Yan recalled the memories in her mind and realized that not only was she a short-lived girl, she was also a short-lived girl that everyone hated.


    Ever since this girl was young, she had pitifully few friends in City A. Those who met her when they went out shopping would avoid her.


    Tsk tsk tsk, she was really a failure in life. She relied on her arrogance as the young miss of the Lin family to stir up trouble. Hehe¡­ If not for her identity, she would have died hundreds of times over.


    Lin Yan lay on the bed with her eyes wide open. She had already complained about herself 800 times.


    After letting out a mournful howl, she thought, ¡®did I come here to complete my mission? If the male and female leads end up together, I can go back, right? My crayfish, my food stall, and my cold beer are waiting for me. You must wait for me.¡¯


    ¡®For my sake, the male and female leads should get married quickly. As for the second male lead, you stay away from the female lead. Now that I¡¯m here, I won¡¯t let you get close to the female lead. You should go back to where you belong.¡¯


    She recalled the description of the male lead in the book. ¡®The Sheng family¡¯s financial tycoon in City A. Under his gentle appearance is a cold and emotionless heart. He only gives all the warmth to the female lead.¡¯


    Lin Yan seemed to make up her mind. ¡°I shall force you to stay away from the female lead. Wait for me, Sheng Yuxi.¡±

    ¡°Qing, when do you think Yanyan will wake up? Has she really forgotten her grandmother? My dear baby¡­¡± An old woman sat on the sofa and said to Luo Zhuqing.


    ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry. Yanyan woke up yesterday and is resting now,¡± Luo Zhuqing patted the old woman¡¯s back and said.


    ¡°Good, good, good. It¡¯s good that she¡¯s awake. I have cared for this child since she was a young girl.¡±


    ¡°What do you think is going on with the third son of the Lu Family? Yanyan saved his life. Is this how he¡¯s going to repay her for saving his life? He must talk to the old master of the Lu family later,¡± the old woman said angrily.


    Lin Yan, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes during the conversation. She looked at the stranger on the sofa and felt a sense of sadness. She made up her mind. ¡®I¡¯m here. I¡¯ll take on the responsibility.¡¯


    ¡®Lin Yan, don¡¯t worry, you can rest easy. I¡¯ll definitely be filial to your family. Please wish me an early return home.¡¯


    The person on the sofa noticed Lin Yan who was lying on the bed and immediately walked over. The old woman looked at the child who had a pale face and a sad expression. She said to Lin Yan, ¡°Yan Yan, are you hungry? Are you still in pain? Don¡¯t worry, I will take care of you.¡±


    Lin Yan said to the old woman, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I don¡¯t remember who you are. I¡¯m not in pain anymore. I¡¯m just a little hungry.¡±


    The old woman took Lin Yan¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Yanyan, I¡¯m your grandmother. My darling. I¡¯m your grandmother who loves you the most.¡±


    Lin Yan looked at the old woman whose eyes were filled with tears. She was not good with emotions and said, ¡°grandmother, I¡¯m a little hungry. Did you bring me food?¡±


    The old woman heard that Lin Yan was hungry. She wiped her tears and said, ¡°yes, I did. I didn¡¯t get you anything that you like to eat. Grandma will get Aunt Chen to make it for you after you get out of the hospital. Can you eat some vegetable porridge first?¡±


    Lin Yan smiled and said to grandma, ¡°okay, thank you, grandma.¡±


    Grandma said, ¡°good girl, you usually won¡¯t say thank you to grandma. So, I see you really lost your memory. Listen carefully, Zuoqing, our baby really lost her memory.¡±


    The person who was preparing Lin Yan¡¯s lunch box listened to the old woman¡¯s words and looked at Lin Yan meaningfully. Lin Yan seemed to have sensed something and replied to the old woman, ¡°grandma, don¡¯t be sad. I just can¡¯t remember, but I¡¯m still your good girl.¡±


    The old woman nodded, opened the lid of the lunch box, and said, ¡°Yes, good girl. Eat slowly. Be careful not to burn yourself, it¡¯s hot.¡±


    The atmosphere in the ward was exceptionally harmonious. Perhaps it was filled with love, which made Lin Yan feel very relaxed. However, a discordant voice came from outside the ward.


    ¡°Elder Lin, let this ignorant child of mine go in and apologize to your daughter.¡± An unfamiliar voice came from outside


    ¡°Then wait a moment. I¡¯ll go in and see if my daughter is up. Sigh, why are you two always fighting? Look, your little fights have indeed gotten serious this time.¡±


    When the door opened, Lin Yan looked outside and was stunned. ¡®Oh my God, this is definitely a young hunk. He¡¯s so handsome that I¡¯m going to explode!¡¯


    Father Lin looked at his daughter¡¯s infatuated gaze and said helplessly, ¡°Ahem, Yanyan, Shaoyu wants to see you. Do you want to tidy up?¡±


    After Lin Yan was interrupted by father Lin¡¯s voice, she heard father Lin¡¯s words and reflexively shook her head. ¡°No, no, I don¡¯t want to see him.¡±.


    Father Lin looked at the color of his daughter¡¯s face and shook his head helplessly as he went out to reply to the Lu father and son.


    Lu Shaoyu looked at Lin Yan with a strange expression, then quickly turned his head. After Lu Shaoyu said goodbye, he was pulled out of Lin Yan¡¯s line of sight by father Lin.


    Of course, after Lin Yan glanced at the male lead, she did not dare to look at him again. Firstly, she was afraid that her heart would not stop beating. Secondly, she was afraid that she would not be able to resist him.


    After seeing Lu Shaoyu leave, Lin Yan raised her hand and touched her neck. Then, she made up her mind and slowly placed her hand on her heart.


    ¡°I will forget Lu Shaoyu.¡±

    ¡°Silly little Yan, don¡¯t pretend to be asleep. I can see that your eyes are moving. Get up quickly. I heard that you don¡¯t remember anything.¡±


    ¡°Hmph, you even forgot about me? Look at me. I¡¯ll teach you a lesson when you¡¯re done.¡±


    Lin Yan woke up amidst the noise. She opened her eyes and saw a thick-browed, big-eyed man with golden curls on his head and a pink diamond earring on his ear.


    The young man, who looked fair and clean leaning close to her and looking at her angrily.


    Lin Yan was speechless after being woken up. She said in a bad tone, ¡°who are you? Are you looking for trouble? Can¡¯t you see that I¡¯m sleeping? Do you still want to teach me a lesson? I¡¯ll make sure you crawl away.¡±


    The young man listened to these words and said wildly, ¡°hey, silly little Yan, you said that you don¡¯t remember me. How can you still talk to me like that? I don¡¯t think the doctors will allow it.¡±


    ¡°No, I must test you. How old do you think you are? Where do you live? How many family members do you have at home? What¡¯s your phone number?¡±


    Lin Yan listened to the young man¡¯s series of questions and stared at him. In the end, she could not bear it anymore and said, ¡°if you¡¯re going to continue to make noise, get out. You¡¯re so long-winded, it¡¯s a waste of a pretty face.¡±


    The young man used his hand to draw a line in front of Lin Yan¡¯s eyes and said doubtfully, ¡°do you really not remember? Then do you know what your name Is?¡±


    Lin Yan glanced at the young man and ignored him. The young man suddenly knocked on Lin Yan¡¯s head and said, ¡°I¡¯m your younger brother. My name is Lin Yu. You really dare not remember me? That¡¯s good. When I go back, I¡¯ll swap my room with yours. That¡¯s great.¡±


    Lin Yan was very angry at the young man¡¯s sudden action. She kicked the young man from the hospital bed.


    The young man could not dodge Lin Yan¡¯s kick. He rubbed the area where he was kicked and said, ¡°I told you not to go after Lu Shaoyu, but you didn¡¯t listen.¡±


    The young man looked at the pale-faced Lin Yan and said, ¡°just you wait. I¡¯ll call a few of my brothers to help you teach him a lesson. Hmph, he dares to bully my sister. He¡¯s probably living too comfortably.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be sad. With me around, no one would dare to bully you. Look at you, How old are you? You actually hurt yourself. I¡¯m embarrassed for you.¡±


    Lin Yan looked at the youth and listened to his words. She felt that the brother and sister were the same. Although they were both proud, they really loved each other.


    Lin Yan did not plan to pay attention to this ignorant boy anymore. She decided to stop torturing her ears. In the end, she said to him, ¡°if you have something to say, just say it. If you have nothing to say, then get lost. Don¡¯t find trouble with Lu Shaoyu.¡±


    In the end, Lin Yu saw that Lin Yan really did not want to talk to him anymore, so he complained in a low voice, ¡°I was kind enough to come and see you as soon as I found out what happened to you. You didn¡¯t even attend the old teacher¡¯s class. You should treat me better.¡±


    Lin Yan glanced at him and said, ¡°go out and buy me some food. I¡¯m hungry.¡±


    Lin Yu seemed to feel that his sister needed him, so he ran out to buy some food.


    He made up his mind and thought, ¡®hmph, I, an adult, will not hold a grudge. I will buy her some glutinous rice chicken. What a glutton, she doesn¡¯t remember anything else other than eating.¡¯


    Time always passed quickly when Lin Yan was surrounded by love. During the period when Lin Yan was in the hospital, her mother was always by her side. Her father was too busy, and apart from the first two days of her hospitalization, she rarely saw him.


    There were also grandma and grandpa who would send their greetings. Now, it was not awkward for Lin Yan to call her family members.


    Of course, there were also Lin Yu, who called himself master, who brought her food in various ways every day. Therefore, Lin Yan decided to help out the male and female leads get together. She would complete that mission to return to her own world, no longer bringing trouble to the Lin family.

 Chapter 5

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Lin Yan came to this world. After spending a few days in the hospital, she got a general understanding of this world. This world was the same as her previous world. There were communication devices, computers, mobile phones, and mobile phones with QQ, Weibo, and WeChat.


    The only thing that was different was probably herself. She was a drop in the ocean that had been striving hard to become rich.


    She had become the daughter of the Lin family in City A. It was fortunate that she had lost her memory. Otherwise, with her actions and speech changing so much, it would be very difficult to explain.


    Lin Yan smiled at her mother and said, ¡°mom, I understand. I promise not to run around when I go back. Just let me leave the hospital. If I stay here without any illness, I will be sick from boredom.¡±


    Luo Zhuoqing thought of the doctor¡¯s advice and she looked at her lively daughter looking at her with a smile. She decided to let her daughter go back to rest. There was a doctor at home, so she was not afraid that she would not be able to take care of her.


    Thus, the mother and daughter duo packed up their hospital belongings with a smile and prepared to embark on the journey home.


    As Lin Yan¡¯s mother was informing the family of their return, Lin Yan followed behind her mother and walked slowly to the garden at the corner of the hospital.


    Since she came to this world, she had been staying in the hospital for the past few days. Therefore, Lin Yan looked around and felt a strong sense of familiarity as she looked at the branches and leaves in the garden.


    She thought, ¡®this is the big leaf privet, this is the heather, and this is the osmanthus tree. They are all the same as the ones I know. I¡¯m not afraid. I¡¯ve been at the bottom for so many years, and I have always found a way out. By the time I get the male and female leads to pair up with each other, I¡¯ll live a wonderful life. I¡¯ll also get close to the ignorant second male lead, who dreams about the female lead.¡¯


    As she was thinking, she did not pay attention to where she was walking. She tripped and fell to her knees.


    What a coincidence. When she raised her head, she saw a face with a smile. It was a face that was achingly handsome. There was a mole on his eyelids and a hint of mockery in his eyes. He was wearing a black suit and a pair of black diamond earrings.


    Lin Yan looked at the handsome man in front of her. She was so stunned that she did not react. She forgot that she was still kneeling.


    Two people were behind the handsome man. One was shocked, while the other lowered his head and snickered. The ringtone broke the silence. The man in a suit calmly picked up his phone, and Lin Yan stood up in a flurry.


    At this moment, a voice came from the microphone, ¡°Sheng Yuxi, why aren¡¯t you here yet? Your sister is really torturing your friend right now. If you don¡¯t come now, you probably won¡¯t be able to see him anymore.¡±


    Lin Yan did not have time to think. She staggered and ran away. When she ran to her mother¡¯s side, she thought in annoyance, ¡®the second male lead, the second male lead, he¡¯s so handsome.¡¯


    ¡®As expected of the author. That¡¯s the author¡¯s daughter, of course, all the best and most handsome men would belong to the female lead. Sigh, I can¡¯t live like this anymore.¡¯


    Lin Yan bent over and rubbed her legs as she walked. Mother Lin looked back at Lin Yan¡¯s strange actions and said, ¡°what¡¯s wrong, Yanyan? Are you feeling unwell?¡±


    Lin Yan came back to her senses and said, ¡°it¡¯s nothing, mother. Let¡¯s hurry home.¡± Then, she took her mother Lin¡¯s arm and walked home.


    Sheng Yuxi, who saw Lin Yan leave in a panic, smiled slightly. He replied to his phone, said, ¡°got it. I¡¯m on my way.¡±


    Then, he hung up the phone decisively and quickened his pace.


    In the corridor on the seventh floor of the hospital, a girl was clinging to a boy. This girl was Sheng Yuxi¡¯s sister, Sheng Xinqin. The boy was Sheng Yuxi¡¯s best friend, the eldest young master of the Yan family, Yan Youlou.


    Yan Youlou was trying to hold off Sheng Xinqin with one hand while he held his phone with the other hand. Sheng Xinqin said, ¡°brother Yan, you¡¯re finally back. I thought my eyes were deceiving me. Sob, sob, sob. You¡¯re finally back. Don¡¯t leave again, okay?¡±


    Yan Youlou looked at Sheng Xinqin helplessly and said, ¡°can you let go of me first? If you have something to say, let go of me first.¡±


    Sheng Xinqin said coquettishly, ¡°brother Yan, if I don¡¯t let go of you, you will run away again.¡±


    After that, she hugged Yan Youlou tightly.


    Yan Youlou helplessly phoned Sheng Yuxi, which gave Lin Yan a chance to escape from the scene.

    When Sheng Yuxi arrived at the 7th floor of the inpatient department of the hospital, he saw his sister hugging Yan Yulou. He said to Yan Yulou, ¡°what are you doing here?¡±


    Yan Yulou raised his eyebrows. ¡°Yan Jihe got injured in a fight with his classmate. I¡¯m here to take a look.¡±.


    Sheng Xinqin saw that her brother had arrived, so she let go of Yan Yulou¡¯s waist and stood aside obediently. She held Yan Yulou¡¯s hand and refused to let go.


    Sheng Yuxi glanced at Yan Yulou and said, ¡°then why aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± He pulled Sheng Xinqin and carried her to Ward 788.


    Sheng Xinqin was in her brother¡¯s arms, but she looked at Yan Yulou with tears in her eyes.


    Yan Yulou watched as the two of them walked further and further away. He shook his head and turned around to walk in the opposite direction.


    Sheng Xinqin, who had returned to the ward, sat on the bed stubbornly and refused to look at Sheng Yuxi. Sheng Yuxi looked at her and said, ¡°you¡¯re in a hospital and you¡¯re running around. Don¡¯t you know that it¡¯s dangerous?¡±


    Sheng Xinqin said angrily, ¡°you knew brother Yan is back, right? Why didn¡¯t you tell me? It¡¯s been two years and I don¡¯t know where brother Yan is. You know I¡¯ve been waiting for him to come back.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi looked at his angry sister and said helplessly, ¡°you¡¯re already 21 years old. Can you use more of your brain? Isn¡¯t it obvious from that guy¡¯s body language that he isn¡¯t interested?¡±


    Sheng Xinqin heard her brother¡¯s words and did not dare to retort. She got off the bed angrily and slowly walked to the sofa in the room to pick up her phone. She ignored her brother and sent a message to her best friend.


    Sheng Yuxi saw that his sister was not listening to him. He asked his assistant to take out the cakes in the food box and said to his assistant, ¡°since no one is eating the hawthorn cakes that you bought in Xihua, you can take them back for your girlfriend.¡±


    When the assistant heard Sheng Yuxi¡¯s words, he thought to himself, ¡®I don¡¯t have a girlfriend yet. President Sheng, please don¡¯t make me hate you.¡¯


    Sheng Xinqin looked up at the hawthorn cake and swallowed her saliva silently. She picked up her phone and slowly moved to the side of the coffee table. She picked up a piece of hawthorn cake and took a bite of it in front of Sheng Yuxi. Then, she snorted.


    Sheng Yuxi saw this and said to her, ¡°I have something to do at the company. I¡¯ll leave first. Aunt Liu will come over later. Don¡¯t wander around again.¡±


    Sheng Xinqin looked up in surprise and replied, ¡°oh, I know.¡± However, she thought to herself, ¡®hurry up and leave. Hmph, I¡¯ll go look for brother Yan later. You don¡¯t have to stay here. Hurry up and leave.¡¯


    Sheng Yuxi heard her surprised reply and knew what she was thinking. He said, ¡°don¡¯t think about looking for Yan Yulou. He should have left the hospital by now.¡±


    Sheng Xinqin took a big bite of the hawthorn cake and snorted at Sheng Yuxi. Then, she picked up the plate of hawthorn cake and walked to the sofa.


    Sheng Yuxi said to Shen Qi (one of the special assistants), ¡°you stay here first. When Aunt Liu comes over, you can go back to the company. Shen Wu, you go back with me first.¡±


    Shen Qi immediately replied, ¡°okay, President Sheng.¡±


    Sheng Xinqin watched her brother and Shen Wu walk out of the ward. Meanwhile, Shen Qi was ordered to stay with Sheng Xinqin.


    Sheng Xinqin wanted to be alone, so she asked Shen Qi to leave the room.


    Sheng Xinqin sat on the sofa and started to eat the hawthorn cake. She felt that the more she ate, the more bitter it became. She put down the hawthorn cake, pursed her lips, hugged herself, and burst into tears.


    No one knew why the eldest daughter of the Sheng family liked the hawthorn cake so much, but Sheng Xinqin would never forget it.


    One day, when she was seven years old, she was squatting on the floor with tears in her eyes. A stranger boy brought her some hawthorn cake and said to her, ¡°don¡¯t cry. I¡¯ll give you some hawthorn cake. Don¡¯t cry.¡±


    At that time, she had just been found by the Sheng family, and she felt very sad because she was out of place there.


    In that big house, there were only her grandfather and brother. There was no warmth in the big room and no one to talk to. Her fragile heart rejoiced at the kindness of the stranger boy. From then on, she fell in love with the taste of hawthorn cakes.

 Chapter 7

    Lin Yan and mother Lin sat in the Audi S8. In the car, mother Lin was explaining to Lin Yan that their family lived in Shui Yihua City, Courtyard No. 8. Shui Yihua city was in the suburbs.


    ¡°However, there were still a few apartments in the city. Your brother went to school and lived in the school district next door. Usually, your brother would go home on Saturdays and Sundays.¡±


    ¡°You had just graduated from college and had not found a job yet, so you had been staying at home. Your grandmother¡¯s family doesn¡¯t live with us at the old house. However, now that you¡¯re home, they would all come and stay there for a while.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s a nanny at home, and you can just call her Aunt Chen. There¡¯s also a driver, Wang Ming, and can call him Uncle Wang.¡±


    ¡°You and your brother did not like others interfering in your affairs, so there aren¡¯t many people at home. You have to familiarize yourself with them when you go home later.¡±


    ¡­


    Lin Yan listened to mother Lin¡¯s narration along the way and nodded obediently. Uncle Wang, who was driving in the front, looked at the young miss through the rear-view mirror and found that she was indeed different from before. It seemed that she really had amnesia.


    The car drove into the Lin residence and what entered her eyes were fiery red maple leaves. Lin Yan was shocked by the scenery in front of her. Mother Lin saw Lin Yan¡¯s expression and said, ¡°Yan Yan, you like maple leaves the most, so there are maple leaves on both sides of our house.¡±


    After driving for three minutes, what entered her eyes was a European-style villa. The Doric-style cylindrical columns were atmospheric and imposing. The front portion of the villa was lined with neatly trimmed shrubs and a memorial fountain. In addition, there were also flower and grass containers, and small birds bathing in the water fountain.


    Lin Yan followed mother Lin out of the car and walked into the room hand in hand. The decorations inside were not as gorgeous as the outside, but it was very cozy. The late autumn weather was gradually cooling down. After entering the room, a wave of heat greeted her.


    Mother Lin said to Lin Yan, ¡°Yan Yan, are you feeling hot? If you¡¯re feeling hot, take off your clothes and hang them at the door first. When you go up later, bring them back to your room. Oh right, your room is the second room on the left of the second floor.¡±


    ¡°Madam, Miss, you¡¯re back. I heard that you¡¯re coming back, so I made some pear soup. Please have some soup first,¡± a woman with a smile said to the mother and daughter.


    Lin Yan looked at the woman and said, ¡°Aunt Chen, you are too thoughtful. Mother and I are thirsty. Thank you, Aunt Chen.¡±


    Aunt Chen was shocked and sad when she heard the young lady¡¯s words. She said, ¡°Young Miss, you have suffered this time. I know that Young Miss loves sweet food, so I prepared some pear soup for you to fill your stomach. I will fill a bowl for you immediately.¡± After saying that, Aunt Chen hurried to the kitchen.


    Mother Lin pulled Lin Yan to sit on the sofa and gave her some instructions. The instructions were about the things that the family needed to pay attention to when they had dinner together.


    In addition, she also asked if she was feeling unwell and if she needed to go back to the hospital.


    As the mother and daughter were talking, the pear soup was served. Lin Yan looked at the clear pear at the bottom of the green bowl. Her mouth moved a little and she subconsciously swallowed her saliva.


    Mother Lin saw that her daughter was extremely hungry and quickly called her daughter to drink it.


    Lin Yan thought to herself, ¡®tsk tsk, I don¡¯t know what the original owner is thinking. Isn¡¯t this life beautiful? She doesn¡¯t have to work hard and she doesn¡¯t have to worry about food and clothes. It¡¯s still a high-quality life. Haha, since I¡¯m here, let me enjoy it. Let¡¯s treat it as a vacation.¡¯


    After drinking the pear soup, Lin Yan told mother Lin that she wanted to go to her room to rest. Lin Yan¡¯s mother quickly agreed and asked her to go rest.


    After Lin Yan entered the room, she took out her phone. After thinking about the plot in the future, she decided to record the plot on her phone. She was afraid that she would forget the details in the long run.


    As Lin Yan was writing, a call suddenly came in. Lin Yan nervously answered it. ¡°Hello, hello.¡±


    The other party replied, ¡°Yan, how are you? I just heard the news and rushed back from abroad. I wanted to go to your ward to give you a surprise. In the end, you weren¡¯t there. Tell me honestly, where did you go?¡±


    Lin Yan replied, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t remember. Who are you?¡±


    The other party¡¯s shocked tone replied, ¡°you don¡¯t remember? You don¡¯t remember who I am? Wait, did you lose your memory?¡±

 Chapter 8

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Lin Yan was afraid that the host had done too many bad things, and that it might be an enemy. Was it an enemy or an ally? She quickly whispered, ¡°yes, yes, why are you looking for me?¡±


    The other party waited for a while and said, ¡°I¡¯m Xiang Yimeng, where are you now? I¡¯m going to look for you.¡±


    Lin Yan heard Xiang Yimeng¡¯s name and knew that he was an ally. Xiang Yimeng was mentioned in the novel by the author. The author mentioned that she was one of Lin Yan¡¯s few best friends. They did good and bad things together, and they went through thick and thin together.


    Lin Yan said to Xiang Yimeng, ¡°oh, I¡¯m at home.¡±


    Then, she suddenly remembered that in the novel, the original owner jumped into the sea and was hospitalized. In a moment of anger, her best friend chased after the Lu family to demand an explanation. As a result, she accidentally lost her life on the way.


    Thinking of this, Lin Yan said nervously to Xiang Yimeng, ¡°wait at the hospital. I¡¯ll wait for Uncle Wang to pick you up later. Don¡¯t run around on your own.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng did not think too much after hearing Lin Yan¡¯s words. Perhaps it was because she had been close to the Lin family since she was young, she laughed and said, ¡°oh, okay. Then you clean up and wait for me on the bed.¡±


    Lin Yan rolled her eyes and replied, ¡°I¡¯m waiting for you on the bed, but I don¡¯t know if you dare to come up.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng said, ¡°hey, Yan, you don¡¯t seem to have lost your short temper at all. Your temper is still as bad as ever.¡±


    Lin Yan said indifferently, ¡°maybe I¡¯m just used to this kind of tone. Maybe my personality is too strong, and I¡¯m not afraid of anything. What¡¯s there to be afraid of?¡±


    Xiang Yimeng said, ¡°tsk tsk, you¡¯re so obedient in front of Lu Shaoyu. I thought you had a split personality.¡±


    When Lin Yan heard the male lead¡¯s name, she felt a headache coming. She said, ¡°don¡¯t mention him to me. I don¡¯t want to think about him. Wait for me to get Uncle Wang to pick you up now.¡±


    After the phone call, Lin Yan laid on the bed out of boredom. As she lay there, she fell asleep.


    Sounds of someone approaching woke her up slightly.


    As expected, a cool girl dressed in a cowboy outfit quickly walked into the bedroom and looked at Lin Yan.


    She pretended to be angry and said, ¡°Yan, I have been working hard for you for so many years. Why don¡¯t you try to pursue the guy yourself? If it weren¡¯t for me, what would you and Lu Shaoyu be like?¡±


    Lin Yan thought to herself, ¡®that¡¯s right. Without you, the original owner would probably be dead a long time ago.¡¯


    However, on the surface, she replied indifferently, ¡°I don¡¯t remember. I also forgot about him. I heard that it was difficult, so I think I¡¯ll just give up. In the future, I¡¯ll just avoid him if I can.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng thought of her best friend who had just been discharged from the hospital. She did not want to mention Lu Shaoyu too much, so she said to Lin Yan, ¡°this time, your relationship is considered to be over. At the start, I advised you not to be with him, but you insisted.¡±


    ¡°You also saved Lu Shaoyu¡¯s life, so he shouldn¡¯t be too cruel towards you.¡±


    ¡°In the end, I haven¡¯t even left you for a week, and you¡¯ve almost died.¡±


    Lin Yan listened to her best friend¡¯s words and agreed silently in her heart. It was because of this Xiang Yimeng that the original owner was able to pursue Lu Shaoyu for so many years.


    Xiang Yimeng looked at the distracted Lin Yan. Suddenly, she hugged Lin Yan and said, ¡°do you know that I was scared to death when I heard you jump into the sea? Sob sob sob¡­¡±


    Lin Yan saw that Xiang Yimeng was genuinely concerned for her. She reached out and hugged Xiang Yimeng back, gently patting her as she thought, ¡®she looks like a cool girl, but she has a soft heart.¡¯


    After Xiang Yimeng cried, she hugged Lin Yan and said, ¡°let¡¯s forget about Lu Shaoyu. I will bring you out to have fun. You can order whatever you want in the Drunken Night.¡±


    Lin Yan smiled and said to Xiang Yimeng, ¡°that¡¯s right. I¡¯ve given up on my love for Lu Shaoyu. There is plenty of fish in the sea. Let¡¯s go out tonight.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng said to Lin Yan, ¡°you¡¯ve just been discharged from the hospital today. We¡¯ll go tomorrow night. Anyway, I haven¡¯t told the Xiang family about when I would be going back. I¡¯ll just stay here and not leave.¡±


    Lin Yan giggled and said, ¡°Meng, quickly warm my bed. If you don¡¯t warm my bed, I¡¯m going to punish you.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng gestured with her hand and said, ¡°okay, I¡¯ll follow your orders.¡±


    The two good friends giggled and waited until mother Lin urged them to come downstairs for dinner. Only then did they go downstairs. The Lin family looked at the two good friends with smiles on their faces.


    Dinner time also went by in a flash.


    The night was always charming. The lights of the city were beautiful and the buildings were mysterious and unique. Lin Yan looked at the moonlight outside through the window and thought, ¡®this is really a beautiful journey.¡¯

 Chapter 9

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    The next day, Lin Yan and Xiang Yimeng were too bored at home. They had not dressed up for a long time, so they decided to go to the shopping center to buy clothes.


    As the car was driving on the road, Xiang Yimeng said to Lin Yan, ¡°City A has several shopping centers that we usually go to. Do you want to go to The First Mall, Guanghua City, Da Xin City, or SFT?¡±


    Lin Yan thought about it and decided to go to The First Mall. She chose that because the world that Lin Yan came from also had The First Mall. It felt inexplicably familiar.


    After Uncle Wang heard it, he did not say anything. He merely changed the direction of the car. He thought to himself, ¡®the eldest miss is indeed different. In the past, she would always insist on going to every shopping mall. However, today, she only chose one shopping mall.¡¯


    When they reached The First Mall, Xiang Yimeng pulled Lin Yan and went straight to the fifth floor of the shopping mall.


    They activated sweeping mode. The feeling of having shopping bags of all sizes in her hands made Lin Yan feel that it was once again a beautiful journey.


    However, coincidentally, when Lin Yan and Xiang Yimeng were passing through another shop, they heard a sharp female voice at the entrance of the shop, ¡°Oh, Young Miss Lin, I heard that you jumped into the sea.¡±


    Lin Yan looked at the person in front of her. Xiang Yimeng could not help but step in and threatened, ¡°Shen Yi, if you don¡¯t know what to say, then don¡¯t talk. If you say something wrong, you¡¯ll be punished later.¡±


    Another girl was standing beside Shen Yi. This girl was wearing a sleeveless white dress. She exuded a gentle temperament from the inside out. Lin Yan knew in an instant that this was the female lead, He Xue¡¯er.


    He Xue¡¯er did not grow up in the He family. When she was young, she was replaced by the family¡¯s nanny. It was only in high school that the He family found her.


    However, for some reason, after she returned home, all the young ladies in the upper class were on good terms with He Xue¡¯er. Among them, Shen Yi treated He Xue¡¯er like her own sister.


    He Xue¡¯er saw that Lin Yan was trying to avoid them. She wanted to pull Shen Yi away and mind their own business. In the end, Shen Yi resisted.


    Shen Yi said, ¡°Xue¡¯er, don¡¯t be so kind. Some people love to bully weaker people, and you¡¯re the only one who¡¯s the most gentle and kind. Now that I finally have the chance to meet her, I won¡¯t forgive her.¡±


    He Xue¡¯er stopped moving. She looked at Lin Yan and was sizing her up. At the same time, Lin Yan was also sizing up He Xue¡¯er. It was like a cold war battle. Shen Yi and Yimeng was arguing with words, while He Xue¡¯er and Lin Yan were silent.


    He Xue¡¯er and Lin Yan stared at each other. Lin Yan looked at the female lead and thought, ¡®tsk tsk, the author¡¯s biological daughter. Needless to say, her looks are top-notch. Her temperament is also top-notch, and her luck is so good. The male lead and the second male lead are all circling around her¡­¡¯


    Meanwhile, He Xue¡¯er looked at Lin Yan and thought in puzzlement, ¡®what¡¯s wrong with Lin Yan? Why is she looking at me like that? Hasn¡¯t she always looked down on me? Why isn¡¯t she being sarcastic now?¡¯


    The war of words ended with Shen Yi in defeat. Shen Yi was so angry that she pulled He Xue¡¯er into the shop. Lin Yan and He Xue¡¯er also ended their silent battle.


    Lin Yan looked at Xiang Yimeng and said, ¡°Meng, let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s go to the shop in front to take a look.¡±


    She was still thinking in frustration, ¡®didn¡¯t I check my schedule before I left the house today? Why did I bump into the female lead? I want to stay away from the male and female lead. I just want to have a happy life.¡¯


    Xiang Yimeng nodded, and the two of them crossed their arms and marched forward.


    A man was watching the fight between the four of them from the sixth floor. Sheng Yuxi looked at Lin Yan¡¯s back and smiled thoughtfully. Shen Wu, who was at the side, did not see the scene just now. He was very puzzled by the boss¡¯s smile.


    Lin Yan and Xiang Yimeng returned home with a full load of goods. They packed their clothes in a hurry. Later, in the room, all they said to each other were ¡®you have good taste¡¯, ¡®look at this, I knew at first glance that it would definitely look good on you.¡¯


    Laughter and sounds of fighting often came from the room. Both of them seemed to not care about the earlier episode. Xiang Yimeng really did not care, while Lin Yan acted as if she did not care so as not to affect Xiang Yimeng¡¯s mood.


    In the afternoon, Lin Yan sat alone on the sofa with a plate of fruits in her hand. She thought to herself, ¡®in order for the male and female leads to pair up, I can¡¯t just sit around and wait. I will clear all the obstacles between the male and female lead.¡¯


    ¡®Second male lead, you have to cooperate with me, so that I can return to my homeworld. I will find the little bastard who beat me up, I will definitely take revenge. Little bastard, wait for me to teach you a lesson.¡¯

 Chapter 10

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    The Drunken Night was lively, exciting, and also quiet. What was lively was the dancing of the demons under the lights. What was exciting was the kind of psychological thrill to enjoy here. What was quiet was the multimillion-dollar contracts that were being negotiated in the corner.


    Lin Yan and Xiang Yimeng drove the car to the entrance of Drunken Night. Xiang Yimeng gave the car keys to the parking staff and walked in with Lin Yan. After showing their gold card to the inspection staff, she pulled Lin Yan into Drunken Night.


    Lin Yan knew that the Drunken Night was not an ordinary bar. Although in the eyes of the public, the Drunken Night only involved entertainment such as drinking, dancing, and hotel management, actually, there were also racing, gambling, and other events. They could only participate in these activities with a purple card.


    At present, Lin Yan and Xiang Yimeng only had gold cards, so the Drunken Night was just to relieve their mood. They were looking for excitement and did not want to risk their lives.


    Xiang Yimeng wore a mini-skirt and had pink hair, while Li Yan wore a sleeveless mini-skirt. They completely released themselves under the stimulation of the music and became mindless members of the mob.


    Because of Lin Yan¡¯s flirtatious appearance and Xiang Yimeng¡¯s passion, many people were attracted to them. Lin Yan was tired of having too many people gawking at her, so she told Xiang Yimeng that she was tired. The two of them booked a private room to drink.


    Xiang Yimeng said to Lin Yan, ¡°sister, give up a tree, you still have a forest. Today, we will not go home until we are drunk.¡±


    Lin Yan agreed, ¡°wow, we will not go home until we are drunk.¡±


    The two of them drank three bottles of wine as they laid on the sofa and talked nonsense. Lin Yan shook Xiang Yimeng and said, ¡°Meng, I want to go to the toilet. Do you want to go?¡±


    Xiang Yimeng said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to go. You go.¡±


    Lin Yan walked out of Room 278 by herself and looked for the toilet. After searching for a long time, she could not find it. When she saw a handsome young man in front of her, she pulled him and asked, ¡°handsome, do you know where the toilet is?¡±


    Coincidentally, the handsome man was Sheng Yuxi. Lin Yan looked at the handsome man and said, ¡°have we met before? You¡¯re so handsome.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi did not want to pay attention to the drunkard. He pointed to the aisle next to him, shook away Lin Yan¡¯s hand, and turned to leave.


    Lin Yan saw that the handsome guy was about to leave. She hugged Sheng Yuxi and said, ¡°don¡¯t go. Take me to the toilet.¡±


    Just then, a security guard came over and saw Sheng Yuxi being hugged by a woman. He said to Sheng Yuxi, ¡°Mr. Sheng, is there anything I can help you with?¡±


    Sheng Yuxi looked at Lin Yan, who reeked of alcohol, and said to the security guard, ¡°take her to the toilet.¡±


    The security guard helped Lin Yan up and took her to the door of the toilet. Sheng Yuxi looked at his wrinkled suit, turned around, and walked to the private room. He picked up the phone and said, ¡°bring me a set of clothes.¡±


    Lin Yan was in a daze and did not know what had happened. When she woke up and found herself in a toilet, she was shocked. She looked at the clothes on her body and rubbed her head.


    After thinking for a long time, she did not know why she was in the bathroom. She touched her phone and found that it was not with her. She carefully opened the bathroom door.


    When she saw her messy hair in the mirror, she casually tidied it up. Then, she turned the corner and left the bathroom. She realized that she was in the private room section of the Drunken Night, so she started to look for her private room.


    When Lin Yan returned to the private room, she saw Xiang Yimeng lying on the sofa, sleeping soundly. She shook her awake and said, ¡°Meng, do you know why I slept in the bathroom yesterday?¡±


    Xiang Yimeng looked at Lin Yan in confusion and said, ¡°have you been fooling with men in their cars?¡±


    Lin Yan looked at Xiang Yimeng and said, ¡°No, my clothes are all here. I suspect that someone is taking revenge on me. I want to check it out.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng said, ¡°okay, I will call Chen Fei and ask him to check it out.¡±


    Ten minutes later, a young man with a buzz cut entered the private room with the Drunken Night¡¯s manager. The young man said, ¡°Xiang Yimeng, I have brought the person for you. You can ask him yourself.¡±


    Lin Yan said to the manager, ¡°I want to see the video from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. of the second floor.¡±


    The manager said apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Lin. The video from last night is kept secret. However, the video from 12 p.m. onwards is available. I¡¯ll help you adjust it now.¡±


    Lin Yan watched the recording. She was helped to the door of the toilet by the security guards. She felt relieved, but she kept feeling that there was something strange there. Something flashed through her mind, but she did not catch it.


    After Lin Yan watched the video, she went home with Xiang Yimeng in the Ferrari of the young man.


    Lin Yan did not know who that young man was. The author of the book did not mention that Xiang Yimeng had a very good male friend. She also did not know how he and Xiang Yimeng knew each other.


    Although she had doubts, Lin Yan was seriously short of sleep now. She felt weak all over and did not think too much about it. When she returned home and saw that there was no one at home, she casually greeted Aunt Chen before pulling Xiang Yimeng to bed and slept.

 Chapter 11

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Xiang Yimeng stayed with Lin Yan in the Lin family for a few days before flying out of the country to continue her studies. After sending Xiang Yimeng away, Lin Yan returned home and felt that the house was lonely again.


    Her mother went to the studio, her father went to the Lin Corporation, and Lin Yu was not at home. Aunt Chen was busy in the kitchen while Uncle Wang was mowing the lawn outside.


    Lin Yan was bored as she held her phone to recall the plot. She suddenly remembered that today, the second male lead had seen her bullying the female lead. She had seen the female lead being weak, and Lin Yan herself being arrogant and domineering.


    The second male lead, who had always been attracted to the female lead, had remembered this scene in his heart. From then on, she had secretly rooted for the male lead to take revenge. Lin Yan¡¯s hard life would be filled with tears.


    At that moment, Lin Yan made up her mind to change her own life. She had decided to go to Autumn Goose to cooperate with the second male.


    As a bookkeeper, Lin Yan knew that the second male¡¯s grandfather was a person who was persistent in tradition. He favored family inheritance, and he did not want to let his ancestors down.


    Due to his son and daughter-in-law being in a plane crash, he hoped that his grandson would have a family soon. He wanted to leave a descendant for the Sheng family. Every time Grandpa Sheng saw Sheng Yuxi, there would be some pestering about having children.


    This led to Sheng Yuxi using improving the company as an excuse to move out of the Sheng family¡¯s old residence. He lived in Autumn Goose, a high-end neighborhood next to Shengshi Group.


    Lin Yan drove her Maserati to the Sheng family home in Autumn Goose. As a qualified bookkeeper, Lin Yan only remember the plot and not the details.


    When she arrived at Autumn Goose, Lin Yan did not know where Sheng Yuxi lived, so she stayed in her car and called Xiang Yimeng. ¡°Meng, can you help me find out where Sheng Yuxi Lives?¡±


    Xiang Yimeng was shocked and said to Lin Yan, ¡°what are you doing, Yan? The Sheng family is not someone we can mess with.¡±


    Lin Yan said to Xiang Yimeng, ¡°I¡¯m not doing anything. I just heard that Sheng Yuxi has a sister who loves to eat. I just want to be her friend.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng was really speechless at her best friend¡¯s love of eating. She said, ¡°wait for me for five minutes, I¡¯ll check it for you.¡±


    In less than five minutes, Lin Yan looked at the text sent by her best friend and said happily, ¡°Humph, such a task is nothing for someone like Xiang Yimeng.¡±


    So she called Xiang Yimeng to praise her again and asked her to put her license plate number into Autumn Goose¡¯s system so that she could enter it easily.


    After entering, Lin Yan thought, ¡®when I go back, I¡¯ll definitely a hacker best friend and get whatever I want. Tsk tsk, so convenient.¡±


    Lin Yan parked the car in the basement and got out of the car by herself. She took the elevator to the 11th floor of Building 1.


    After waiting for Sheng Yuxi to get home from work, Lin Yan sat on the sofa and thought, ¡®what should I say later? What if he doesn¡¯t want to talk to me? Forget it, I don¡¯t want to. I¡¯d better cherish my time and chase after other handsome young men in this world.¡¯


    Lin Yan saw a handsome young man called Xi Yuan online, so she researched a little more and found that he and He Xue¡¯er had even acted together.


    Out of curiosity, she clicked on a video to watch. As she watched, she thought, ¡®this He Xue¡¯er¡¯s acting is not bad. Although she¡¯s a supporting role in the drama, she doesn¡¯t act awkwardly at all. She¡¯s really worthy of being one of the future stars.¡¯


    As Lin Yan watched the drama, she continued to think, ¡®although I will not interfere in the love between the male and female leads, there are still a few years before the male and female leads would love each other as a family.¡¯


    ¡®As a catalyst, should I try my best to save myself and realize my self-worth at the same time? Should I also find a job? At the very least, I won¡¯t have such a boring life.¡¯


    As she thought about it, Lin Yan began to think about finding a job. ¡®I don¡¯t have the original host¡¯s memory, and I don¡¯t know what major the original host studied. In the original world, I was just an actor who played a minor role.¡¯


    Lin Yan touched her face and thought, ¡®although I don¡¯t know what Lin Yan is capable of doing, she is the number one troublemaker. However, with this appearance, she definitely has the potential to become a female lead.¡¯


    After Lin Yan thought it through, she looked at the video playing on her phone and looked at the time. She decided to go out and buy a cup of milk tea before waiting for Sheng Yuxi.

 Chapter 12

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Lin Yan drove to the milk tea shop in So Plaza and bought a cup of milk tea. She slowly sat there and enjoyed the happiness brought by the beverage. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she was as beautiful as a painting.


    Bai Fu, who was outside, saw this scene and was stunned. Bai Fu happened to meet his friend at the coffee shop next door. After he finished his business, he wanted to walk around by himself.


    Who knew that he would see a beautiful girl sitting leisurely on the sofa drinking milk tea.


    She walked to Lin Yan¡¯s side and said excitedly, ¡°hello, I¡¯m Bai Fu from Joy Entertainment. Are you interested in being an actress?¡±


    Lin Yan looked at the fashionable boy in front of her and said, ¡°oh, leave me a business card. I¡¯ll call you back when I¡¯m ready.¡±


    Lin Yan, who was calm on the surface, was actually not calm at all. Her heart was beating fast.


    Bai Fu quickly took out his business card and said, ¡°okay, okay. You must contact me. I won¡¯t disturb you anymore. Goodbye. No, see you later.¡± After saying that, he walked to the door and glanced at Lin Yan.


    Lin Yan happened to look at the door and smiled at Bai Fu. Bai Fu¡¯s face turned red and he quickened his pace.


    After Bai Fu left, Lin Yan walked out of the shop, holding her milk tea. When she got to the car, she was still in shock. ¡®Isn¡¯t Joy Entertainment the main company in the entertainment industry that was later split with Qi Sheng Entertainment?¡¯


    ¡®The female lead became one of the actresses in Qi Sheng Entertainment and later became the best actress. Since Joy Entertainment was able to share the entertainment circle with Qi Sheng Entertainment, then I will inevitably be a part of it.¡¯


    Lin Yan happily returned to Autumn Goose. She came to Sheng Yuxi¡¯s door and was ready to discuss a collaboration with him. Her hard work paid off. Just as Lin Yan finished her milk tea, a figure appeared at the elevator.


    Lin Yan saw that she was waiting for someone, so she immediately stood up and walked to Sheng Yuxi¡¯s side. She stretched out her hand and said, ¡°hello, President Sheng, I am Lin Yan from the Lin Group.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi saw that Lin Yan instinctively took a step back and did not want to pay attention to her. He walked around Lin Yan and walked towards the door of his house.


    Lin Yan did not give up and said, ¡°maybe Grandpa Sheng doesn¡¯t know that President Sheng already has someone he likes. I think, in order to fulfill the old man¡¯s wish, I¡¯ll make a call and report it to the old man.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi looked at Lin Yan and said, ¡°oh, then tell me, Miss Lin, who is this person that I like?¡±


    Lin Yan looked at Sheng Yuxi, who did not seem to recognize her. She wanted to say the name of the female lead, but when she thought of her revenge mission (punish the little punk), she changed the topic and said, ¡°I know who you like, and you know it yourself.¡±


    Lin Yan looked at Sheng Yuxi¡¯s helpless expression and continued, ¡°I know that the Sheng family is in a mess now. If you want to ensure the safety of the person you love, I can dedicate myself to being your girlfriend. Also, I will ask my father to support the Sheng family.¡±


    Lin Yan looked at Sheng Yuxi¡¯s thoughtful expression and said, ¡°do you have water at home? I¡¯m a little thirsty. Why don¡¯t you go in and think about it? I¡¯ll wait for you inside.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi blocked the door and looked at Lin Yan, who seemed to have no feelings for him, and asked, ¡°why are you helping me?¡±


    Lin Yan said, ¡°I¡¯m not helping you for free. I know that you invested in Joy Entertainment. I want to go in and I need good resources.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi sized Lin Yan up and said, ¡°you are indeed suitable to enter the entertainment circle.¡±


    Lin Yan looked at Sheng Yuxi and blurted out, ¡°that¡¯s right, I¡¯m so beautiful. I¡¯ll go in to earn money for you guys.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi heard Lin Yan¡¯s reply and said, ¡°sure, I¡¯ll agree to your conditions. But you don¡¯t have to be my girlfriend. I don¡¯t need it.¡±


    Lin Yan being a girlfriend was a good opportunity to monitor Sheng Yuxi¡¯s intentions toward the female lead.


    Hearing his words, Lin Yan immediately said, ¡°no, I want to be your girlfriend. Only then can I make my father willingly support you.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi lowered his head and leaned close to Lin Yan¡¯s ear. ¡°Since you¡¯re willing, I¡¯ll agree. You can just attend official occasions. You¡¯re not allowed to enter at non-essential occasions.¡±


    Lin Yan blushed at Sheng Yuxi¡¯s actions and said, ¡°okay, I know. I¡¯ve recorded everything you said today. You¡¯re not allowed to go back on your words.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi lowered his head and looked into Lin Yan¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°go to Shengshi tomorrow and sign a contract. The term is one year. After one year, you and I have nothing to do with each other.¡±


    When Lin Yan heard this, she felt that in the original book, the male and female protagonists could only truly love each other after many years. Was this enough time?


    Lin Yan bargained, ¡°one year might not necessarily make me famous. Two years, then. Our contract ends in two years.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi said indifferently, ¡°up to you. Go to sign the contract tomorrow. Two years it is then. Our relationship ends in two years.¡±


    Lin Yan cursed in her heart, ¡®stingy man.¡¯


    Sheng Yuxi saw Lin Yan¡¯s expression, turned around, and closed the door. He picked up the cup on the coffee table, took a sip, and then took another sip. He felt that the water today was sweeter than usual. He shook his head again and threw the cup into the trash bin as if he had seen a ghost.

 Chapter 13

    Lin Yan drove aimlessly on the road in City A, thinking, ¡®if I ask my father to support Sheng Yuxi, it seems that only dating is the most reliable way.¡¯


    ¡®How am I going to explain to them about dating? I just woke up and have no memory. If I rashly tell my family about my relationship with Sheng Yuxi, they will definitely not agree.¡¯


    ¡®Also, about my sudden involvement in the entertainment industry. This whole series of things¡­ Sigh, why is it so complicated? If only Xiang Yimeng were here.¡¯


    ¡®Forget it, forget it. It¡¯s better not to let Xiang Yimeng know that I¡¯m going to be a contract girlfriend with Sheng Yuxi. She would skin me alive.¡¯


    ¡®Sigh, life is so hard. How did I offend you, the author, to put me in such a situation?¡¯


    ¡®It¡¯s like waking up from a dream. It¡¯s so uncomfortable and empty. My heart is also empty¡­¡¯


    Lin Yan¡¯s thoughts were interrupted by a series of ringtones. She stopped her car to pick up the phone.


    She knew her brother¡¯s phone number the moment she saw Lin Yu¡¯s name. After she pressed the answer button, she automatically took the phone far away.


    A roaring voice came from the phone, ¡°Lin Yan, why aren¡¯t you picking me up? I¡¯ve already been at the school gate for two minutes. Why didn¡¯t I see you at the gate? Where have you been?¡±


    ¡°Did you go behind my back to find Lu Shaoyu? I knew I shouldn¡¯t have believed your words. I Don¡¯t care where you are now. Come and pick me up quickly.¡±


    Lin Yan suddenly remembered that it was Friday. Her family had arranged for her to pick up Lin Yu. She immediately said to Lin Yu, ¡°don¡¯t be impatient. I¡¯m on the way now. Wait for me for ten minutes.¡±


    To avoid being ridiculed again, Lin Yan immediately hung up the phone and turned on the silent mode. She turned on the car stereo and continued driving.


    On the way, the stereo played,


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we call it quits? Why don¡¯t we go crazy?


    Delete all the memories of you.


    Why don¡¯t we be ruthless? Why don¡¯t we return to the crowd?


    Be Your A-B-C-D


    ¡­


    Why don¡¯t we just give up? Why don¡¯t we hug and break up?


    Why don¡¯t we tear up secretly?


    Why don¡¯t we give you your freedom this time?


    Why don¡¯t we just brush past each other and not look back?


    ¡­¡±


    Lin Yan listened to the music and silently agreed with one sentence: ¡®why don¡¯t we just give up?¡¯


    However, she immediately touched her head and thought about how she had not given her savings to the children in the remote mountain areas. She could not give up. She had to work hard to get out of the predicament and move forward, forward, and ever forward.


    Lin Yan subconsciously turned up the volume when she pick up Lin Yu and drove to the door of her house.


    When the car reached the door of her house, Lin Yan could not wait to get away from this younger brother. She said to her parents in the house, ¡°dad, mom, we¡¯re back.¡±


    Mother Lin said, ¡°just in time. You guys are back. Let¡¯s eat.¡±


    The dinner table was filled with the sounds of bickering between Lin Yan and Lin Yu. From time to time, mother Lin would try to step in and dissuade them. However, this seemed to be a common occurrence at the dinner table. After Lin Yu and Lin Yan stopped for a while, they continued to bicker.


    After the meal, Lin Yan found father Lin and mother Lin and said to them, ¡°dad, mom, I want to ask for a favor from you two. Is that okay?¡±


    Lin and Lin looked at the serious Lin Yan and said, ¡°Yanyan, what is it? Sit down first.¡±


    Lin Yan took a deep breath and looked at mother Lin and father Lin and said, ¡°I want to enter the entertainment industry to develop my career.¡±


    Lin immediately said, ¡°Yanyan, isn¡¯t it good to stay at home? Why do you want to enter the entertainment industry? There are all kinds of people there. It¡¯s not safe.¡±


    Father Lin Looked at Lin Yan with a serious face. Lin Yan continued, ¡°I may only have one way of living in my life, but through acting, I can come into contact with different characters. Each of them is fresh and different from the rest.¡±


    ¡°Different scripts have different characters. The characters will experience different lives. Some have a rough life, and some have a stable life. They are all fresh and alive. I like this kind of experience¡­¡±


    Mother Lin mother listened to Lin Yan¡¯s words thoughtfully. Father Lin looked at Lin Yan and said, ¡°Yanyan, you have grown up. You have your own choices. But you have to think clearly. If you choose to enter the entertainment industry, you have to take on that responsibility. You have to be responsible for your character and your own life.¡±


    ¡°You are still young now. There is still a long way to go in the future. If this is your decision, we will support you. But you have to remember that if you enter the entertainment industry, it is equivalent to growing up on your own.¡±


    ¡°The family won¡¯t give you all of its strength, because this is your growth. If your parents leave you, you can also take charge on your own.¡±


    ¡°So, while you¡¯re in the entertainment industry, your parents will give you freedom, but they won¡¯t hold your hand and pull you along. You must do your best to go further.¡±


    Lin Yan listened to her father¡¯s words and said, ¡°father, can I ask you something? The Sheng family is currently in the midst of a family struggle. I want you to help Sheng Yuxi. is that possible?¡±


    After thinking for a moment, father Lin said, ¡°Okay, I will help him. Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    On the side, mother Lin did not agree with father Lin¡¯s series of statements, but she did not refute him. After they finished talking, Lin Yan happily laid on the bed and thought, ¡°I am one step closer to returning home (to the world I came from).¡±


    In the room, Father Lin hugged mother Lin and said, ¡°Sheng Yuxi participated in the investment of Joy Entertainment. If we help him, it will be the same as helping our daughter.¡±


    ¡°Moreover, among the younger generation, Sheng Yuxi is a good descendant. Any action in the business world will have a great impact. It¡¯s okay, don¡¯t worry. How can I not care about our daughter?¡±


    Mother Lin pretended to be angry and glanced at Father Lin. Father Lin saw his wife¡¯s expression and kissed her. Then, the sound of¡­ activity came from the room.

    The birds outside the window were chirping. Lin Yan opened her eyes and looked at the sunshine outside the window. She was in a very good mood.


    Lin Yan was wearing a sleeveless red short skirt with slightly curly long hair. She smiled and said to Aunt Chen, ¡°Aunt Chen, are you going to make my favorite food today?¡±


    Aunt Chen looked at the young miss with a smile on her face and replied dotingly, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m making the tofu soup that the Young Miss likes.¡±


    Lin Yan smiled sweetly at Aunt Chen and said, ¡°Aunt Chen, you¡¯re so good to me. Thank you, Aunt Chen.¡±


    Auntie Chen replied, ¡°Young Miss, it¡¯s good that you like it. I¡¯ll go get breakfast for you.¡±


    After eating her favorite breakfast, Lin Yan went to her room and took a black bag. She went to the garage and drove her Maserati to Shengshi Group.


    When Lin Yan arrived at Shengshi, she looked at the time and found that it was ten o¡¯clock in the morning. Thinking that the time was just right, she walked to Shengshi Group.


    At the front desk, she asked for the floor of Sheng Yuxi¡¯s office. In the end, the front desk staff said, ¡°hello, ma¡¯am, do you have an appointment?¡±


    Lin Yan came to her senses and regretted not leaving her contact information yesterday. She cursed in her heart, ¡®you said you would let me come, but now you won¡¯t let me in. Humph, can you stop causing trouble?¡¯


    Lin Yan smiled awkwardly at the front desk staff and turned to walk to the sofa.


    She picked up the phone and called Xiang Yimeng. Soon, the phone was connected. Lin Yan said, ¡°Meng, can you help me look up Sheng Yuxi¡¯s phone number?¡±


    To avoid Xiang Yimeng¡¯s continuous questioning, she said to Xiang Yimeng, ¡°Meng, please help me. I heard that the C Brand has a new bag. I¡¯m going to buy it and give it to you to ease your longing for me.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng listened to the usual narcissistic words said, ¡°what do you want to do this time? Tell me honestly.¡±


    Lin Yan said shamelessly, ¡°let¡¯s keep this a secret first, okay? When you come back, I¡¯ll tell you in detail. Help me check it first.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng listened speechlessly and said, ¡°I¡¯ll let you off this time. If you don¡¯t tell me when we get back, I¡¯ll torture you severely.¡±


    In the end, Xiang Yimeng said that she did not find Sheng Yuxi¡¯s phone number, but she did find the phone number of the person next to him, Shen Wu.


    Lin Yan called Shen Wu. He remembered that the boss had mentioned this yesterday, so he told the front desk to let Lin Yan in.


    Lin Yan took the elevator to the 18th floor. When she saw Shen Wu waiting for her at the elevator entrance, she felt that Shen Wu was not bad. She might call him up in the future if she needed some help.


    Lin Yan pushed open Sheng Yuxi¡¯s door and found that there was no one inside. She saw another door inside and pushed it open without thinking.


    Lin Yan, who pushed open the door, and was instantly stunned by what she saw. She stared at the scene of beauty coming out of the bath without blinking. Her heart was beating fast.


    Sheng Yuxi looked at the open door and his face turned black. He said, ¡°close the door and get out.¡±


    She flustered to close the door and patted her heart, saying, ¡°don¡¯t jump, don¡¯t jump. Stay calm.¡±


    Lin Yan walked to the side of the coffee table and poured herself a glass of water to calm herself down.


    Not long after, Sheng Yuxi took the document and walked to Lin Yan. With a dark face, he said, ¡°read it, sign it.¡±


    Lin Yan lowered her head because of what happened just now and did not dare to look at Sheng Yuxi. She quickly nodded and said yes.


    After reading the document, Lin Yan felt that there was no problem, so she signed her name and said, ¡°you sign it too. I¡¯ll take one.¡± She did not raise her head the whole time.


    Sheng Yuxi looked at Lin Yan and his expression became a little better. He took the pen, signed his name, and gave the other copy to Lin Yan.


    Lin Yan picked it up and put it into her bag. She looked up at Sheng Yuxi and said, ¡°you have a good figure.¡± She immediately ran away.


    Sheng Yuxi watched as Lin Yan ran away. He picked up the cup on the coffee table to calm himself down. For some reason, he was getting even angrier.


    Lin Yan ran out of the President¡¯s office, but she did not forget to find Shen Wu and tell him that she was now the boss¡¯s girlfriend. If there were news about the boss, he had to report it immediately, especially when he was with other girls, she also asked for Sheng Yuxi¡¯s personal phone number.


    Shen Wu looked at Lin Yan¡¯s contract and saw that it was indeed the boss¡¯s signature. He felt that it was a first. However, in order to ensure the birth of the little boss, he thought that he could give Lin Yan a helping hand.

    After Lin Yan had finished forming an alliance with the second male lead, she found yesterday¡¯s business card in the elevator. She called Bai Fu and said, ¡°I¡¯ve thought it through. Let¡¯s meet at the milk tea shop where we met yesterday and talk about it.¡±


    Yesterday, when she heard Bai Fu¡¯s name, she felt that it was very familiar, but she could not remember who it was. She walked to the front desk and heard the front desk say to a man, ¡°hello, Director Bai. Our President Sheng is waiting for you in the office.¡±


    Lin Yan glanced at the man and suddenly thought of Bai Fu. Was this not one of the shareholders of Joy Entertainment? The eldest young master of the Bai family had even helped the second male lead pursue the female lead in the later stages.


    Lin Yan got in the car and felt a little depressed. There were so many demons and monsters in front of her. She had no resources and felt that it would be very difficult to achieve anything. She turned on the music and wanted to ease her mood.


    The car slowly drove into the So Plaza at the agreed time. When Lin Yan walked into the milk tea shop, she saw Bai Fu sitting across from where she sat yesterday. There were two cups of milk tea in front of him.


    Looking at the milk tea, Lin Yan thought to herself, ¡®at least you are tactful. I will forgive you for helping the second male lead pursue the female lead. In any case, you are helping me now.¡¯


    Bai Fu saw Lin Yan from the moment Lin Yan came in. Seeing Lin Yan smile at him, he quickly lowered his head and felt that his heart seemed to beat faster than yesterday.


    He picked up one of the cups and took a sip, thinking, ¡®I have also seen countless beautiful women. How can I be so affected?¡¯


    Lin Yan sat on the seat, picked up the milk tea, saying, ¡°the mashed sweet potatoes in the drink have always tasted great. Thank you.¡±


    Bai Fu looked at Lin Yan and pretended to be calm. ¡°You¡¯re welcome. We¡¯ll be colleagues from now on. Joy Entertainment is just getting started. Everyone does their best to help each other.¡±


    Lin Yan heard Bai Fu¡¯s sincere words and reached out her hand to Bai Fu. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Lin Yan.¡±


    Bai Fu was shocked when he heard the name. He asked, ¡°Are You Lin Yan from Lin Corporation?¡±


    Lin Yan nodded and replied, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m Lin Yan from the Lin Corporation. My father is Lin Cheng.¡±


    Bai Lin reached out his hand and said calmly, ¡°you¡¯re really different from the rumors. It¡¯s nice to meet you.¡±


    After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Bai Lin invited Lin Yan to visit Joy Entertainment. Lin Yan readily agreed.


    Not long after, the two of them stopped in front of a villa. Bai Fu said to Lin Yan, ¡°we¡¯ve been here since we started. We¡¯ve grown attached to this place. The employees don¡¯t want to change places either, so we¡¯re working in this villa now.¡±


    Lin Yan nodded noncommittally. After entering, she found that the layout inside was really new. It did not look like an ordinary residence. There were different units inside, and the employees were doing their work in an orderly manner.


    Along the way, Bai Fu introduced the names of each unit and the content of the responsible modules inside.


    When they reached the innermost room on the third floor, Bai Fu stopped and said, ¡°this is my office. If you have any problems in the future, if your manager or assistant can¡¯t solve it, you can come to me.¡±


    Bai Fu said to Lin Yan, ¡°go in and have a seat first. I¡¯ll get you a glass of water.¡±


    Lin Yan felt that the milk tea today was indeed a little sweet. She was indeed a little thirsty after strolling around the villa for a long time, so she nodded to Bai Fu, pushed the door open, and went in to sit on the sofa inside.


    Not long after, Bai Fu came in. There was also a woman who was full of energy who came in with him. Bai Fu looked at Lin Yan who had doubts and said, ¡°this is your future manager. Her name is Su Yue.¡±


    ¡°She is more experienced here. She¡¯s the one that managed Xi Yuan. This year, she told me that she didn¡¯t want to bring in any new people and wanted to take a break.¡±


    ¡°In the end, when I saw you yesterday, I decided not to let her rest. I told her that if you don¡¯t manage this person, you will regret it. Only you can bring out her potential.¡±


    Then, Bai Fu looked at Su Yue and said, ¡°here, this is the new person. Take a look.¡±


    Su Yue looked at Lin Yan in red and was stunned. Then, she said to Bai Fu, ¡°okay, I¡¯ll take care of this.¡±


    After a conversation, the three of them had a preliminary understanding of each other. Bai Fu teased Lin Yan and said, ¡°today, you go back and rest first. Tomorrow, you need to test your acting skills. Go back and prepare well.¡±


    Lin Yan smiled and replied, ¡°yes, sir.¡±

 Chapter 16

    When Lin Yan returned home that night, she saw Lin Yu on the sofa. She was in a good mood, so she took the initiative and said, ¡°kid, have you not finished your homework? Do you want me to teach you how to do it?¡±


    Lin Yu glared at Lin Yan and said, ¡°where did you go today? I thought you didn¡¯t have a job?¡±


    Lin Yan could tell that Lin Yu did not want to talk to her. Lin Yu continued, ¡°I don¡¯t need you to teach me about my studies.¡±


    Lin Yan thought that it was true. The book said that Lin Yan had a younger brother who was a school bully in the city. The teacher could not even manage him. The reason was that although he was naughty, his results were indeed good. Moreover, he did not cause any major problems.


    Lin Yan nodded subconsciously and walked to her room.


    The next day, Lin Yan was woken up by the alarm clock. She rubbed her hair and thought, ¡®my poor working life is about to start. Lin Yan, you can do it.¡¯


    As usual, Lin Yan drove her Maserati to Joy Entertainment and entered the studio. She saw Su Yue talking to the other employees, so she went to Bai Fu¡¯s office on the third floor.


    She entered the studio and greeted Bai Fu. She went to grab a cup of coffee and waited for Su Yue.


    Not long after, Bai Fu, who was wearing a green suit, came. Su Yue said to Lin Yan, ¡°let¡¯s go and sit in my studio for a while.¡±


    Lin Yan greeted Su Yue and Bai Fu and came to Su Yue¡¯s studio. Lin Yan looked at the black and white studio with a pot of green plants on the table. She felt that it was indeed Su Yue¡¯s style.


    Su Yue went out and poured herself a cup of coffee. She poured a cup of rose water for Lin Yan and said, ¡°artists should drink less coffee.¡±


    Lin Yan took the cup of water from Su Yue¡¯s hand, nodded, and said thank you.


    Su Yue stirred the coffee a few times and waited for Lin Yan to take a sip of water before saying, ¡°today, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the set. In the afternoon, I have arranged for a few testers to conduct an acting test on you.¡±


    Su Yue looked at Lin Yan, who was wearing a brown windbreaker, red lipstick, and a beret on her head. She felt that her looks were indeed top-notch.


    When Lin Yan heard Su Yue¡¯s words, she said confidently, ¡°don¡¯t worry, Su Yue. I still have confidence in my acting skills.¡±


    ¡°I feel like addressing you as Su Yue is too unfamiliar. In the future, we will spend a lot of time together. Why don¡¯t I call you Su Su? You can call me Yan Yan. My family calls me that.¡±


    When Su Yue heard Lin Yan¡¯s words, she said, ¡°okay, Yan Yan. It¡¯s good to have confidence. I believe that you will also do well.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s pack up now and get ready to go to the set. Today, I will take you to Xiyang Lake to see Senior¡¯s filming scene.¡± Lin Yan put down the cup and said yes.


    Su Yue and Lin Yan sat in the nanny van. Su Yue said to Lin Yan, ¡°this car was assigned to you by the company. Because of CEO Bai¡¯s instructions, you have a car to pick you up as soon as you arrive.¡±


    ¡°Some small actors may be jealous, but you should not quarrel with them. As an artist, you should always pay attention to your image.¡±


    Lin Yan smiled and said to Su Yue, ¡°Su Su, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m not that nosy.¡± She thought to herself, ¡®I¡¯m not the same person as before. Don¡¯t doubt me anymore.¡¯


    When the two of them arrived at Xiyang Lake, it was already close to 11 o¡¯clock. However, the filming site was still in full swing. Su Yue brought Lin Yan to the director inside.


    Su Yue greeted the director and sat beside Lin Yan to watch the filming. The director raised his head to look at Lin Yan and smiled at Su Yue. ¡°This seedling is not bad. We¡¯ll have the opportunity to work together in the future.¡±


    Su Yue smiled and replied, ¡°she¡¯s indeed not bad. We¡¯ll have to rely on director Xin more in the future.¡± Lin Yan smiled at the director and did not interrupt. After Su Yue and the director exchanged some pleasantries, the two of them sat quietly at the side.


    Lin Yan looked at the scene in the machine beside the director and felt that it was indeed different from her previous understanding. The actors¡¯ every move, every frown, and every smile had meaning. Only by fully integrating themselves with the character could they create a good character.


    If their actions were too small, the audience would feel that the character was rigid and difficult to resonate with when they watched them. If the actions were too big, the audience would feel that they were overreacting.


    Everyone had their own aesthetic standards, but in terms of emotions, everyone was the same.


    After watching for nearly an hour, the director was directing from the side and saying, ¡°cut, again. Good. Pass.¡±


    After watching for almost an hour, Su Yue felt that it was about time, so she greeted the director and took Lin Yan to eat. Without a doubt, they would need to maintain a healthy diet together.


    Lin Yan was depressed because she did not have any delicious food, but she could not resist Su Yue¡¯s strict requirements. She thought that she should reward herself when she went back at night.


    She also decided to find a suitable time to tell Su Yue that she would not gain weight no matter how she ate. She should treat herself better.

 Chapter 17

    Soon, it was afternoon. Su Yue brought Lin Yan to the eighth floor of an office building. When they walked in, Su Yue asked Lin Yan to sit on the bench.


    She stood up and walked to the front desk. After exchanging a few words, she took a draft and passed it to Lin Yan. ¡°Familiarize yourself with the lines first. In about half an hour, you should have a rough idea.¡±


    Lin Yan nodded. Time passed quickly when she became serious. In order to ensure a good performance, Lin Yan memorized the draft several times. At the same time, she could not help but be shocked.


    She thought, ¡®the host¡¯s brain is really good.¡±


    Lin Yan looked down at her watch and told Su Yue to go to the bathroom. Su Yue nodded.


    Lin Yan came to the bathroom and took off her coat. She put her hat into her bag, wiped off her lipstick, and changed into a cream-colored lipstick.


    She tied her hair with a rubber band and left a few strands of hair on her face. Then, she rearranged her clothes and left the bathroom. She walked to Su Yue¡¯s side and sat down.


    Su Yue looked at Lin Yan, who had changed her makeup, and nodded, saying, ¡°Yanyan, you have a good grasp of this role. I look forward to your acting skills.¡±


    Lin Yan winked at Su Yue and pretended to be proud, saying, ¡°don¡¯t worry, great aunt, I can be sweet and salty.¡±


    At this time, the people in the classroom came out and said to Lin Yan, ¡°are you ready? If you are ready, you can go in.¡±


    Lin Yan nodded with a smile and said, ¡°I¡¯m ready, teacher.¡±


    Lin Yan was performing the story of a female college student who was dumped by her boyfriend. After Lin Yan went in and bowed to the teachers, she began to perform.


    Lin Yan stood in place and looked at the boy opposite her. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes, and then, with a stubborn cry, she said, ¡°I¡¯ve been by your side since high school. In the morning, you said that the breakfast outside was not clean. I got up very early and made it for you at home. I brought it to school for you to eat.¡±


    ¡°During the class reunion, you said that you liked to drink red wine from the brand of xyz. I ran home to get it for you.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°I don¡¯t blame you for breaking up with me. I just want to ask, did you ever like me?¡±


    ¡­


    At the end of the performance, the teachers looked at each other. They exchanged agreements with their eyes, but Lin Yan did not see it. Lin Yan stood rooted to the ground, and Su Yue hugged her and wiped her tears.


    At this moment, no one knew that in another classroom, Sheng Yuxi was sitting with Bai Fu and watching today¡¯s performance test. After watching Lin Yan¡¯s performance, Bai Fu excitedly said to Sheng Yuxi, ¡°look, I found a good seedling.¡±


    ¡°You know her, right? She used to be famous because she pursued Lu Shaoyu. However, I don¡¯t think you¡¯ve seen her before. I didn¡¯t expect her to be so different from the rumors.¡±


    Bai Fu was used to Sheng Yuxi¡¯s silence. He continued, ¡°did you know that when I saw her the day before yesterday in the milk tea shop, I was completely stunned?¡±


    ¡°At that time, she was drinking milk tea with her head lowered. Suddenly, she raised her head and looked out the window. When I saw her face, I knew I had found treasure.¡±


    ¡°Do you think it¡¯s easy for me? I¡¯m worried about the company all the time. When can you come and check on the people? I heard that all the young ladies in the studio are talking about President Sheng¡¯s beauty.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi left the scene and glanced at Bai Fu. Seeing Bai Fu¡¯s narcissistic and complaining expression, he got up and left the room.


    After Sheng Yuxi left, Bai Fu chased after him and said, ¡°you should visit often. That would get the young ladies in the studio to maintain their long-term motivation.¡±


    Then, Bai Fu followed Sheng Yuxi out of the office building. Sheng Yuxi, who was sitting in the back of the car, was still thinking, ¡®since Lin Yan already knows Bai Fu, why did she get me help to her get into Joy Entertainment?¡¯


    ¡®Moreover, I really haven¡¯t contacted her in the past two days. Could it be that she really likes me that she made such a request?¡¯


    Thinking of this, Sheng Yuxi shook his head and felt that his speculation was completely untenable. A City was neither big nor small, but people who lived at the top level would more or less have concerns about other people at the top level.


    For example, the matter of Lin Yan chasing Lu Shaoyu was so exaggerated that even he knew about it. Therefore, how could Lin Yan like him? She even jumped into the sea for Lu Shaoyu.


    Thinking of this, Sheng Yuxi did not want to think about it anymore. Anyway, he did not suffer any losses, so he did not care what she did. Even if she was scheming something, he could easily take care of her.


    Lin Yan, who had calmed down for a while, bowed to the judges. Then, she walked out of the room with Su Yue.


    Sitting in the car, Lin Yan came back to her senses. She smiled at Su Yue and said, ¡°how was it? I didn¡¯t embarrass you, did I?¡±


    Su Yue smiled back at Lin Yan. ¡°Go back and rest today. I¡¯ll come to the company tomorrow to choose a script for you.¡±


    Lin Yan felt that she was one step closer to her dream. She was very happy in her heart. She looked at the parasol trees outside the car and felt very satisfied as they flashed past.

 Chapter 18

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    As a veteran novel reader, Lin Yan still paid more attention to the main character¡¯s movements. Thus, Lin Yan, who came to Joy Entertainment, decisively chose a script ¡®Yearning for the Higher-ups¡¯.


    In Lin Yan¡¯s memory, she knew that the female lead had relied on this play to become popular. At the same time, she became one of the little stars, and her sweet and clear image was widely popular among the public.


    After He Xue¡¯er became famous, the host did not restrain her words and actions, and she even bullied He Xue¡¯er even more.


    Once, when the video of her bullying He Xue¡¯er was exposed by He Xue¡¯er¡¯s fans, she had to be fully armed no matter where she went.


    There were even people who exposed that she had bullied He Xue¡¯er in the past. The violence on the internet had caused the host to feel a little depressed. This was also the reason why the host lost control.


    Lin Yan shook her head and thought, ¡®that¡¯s quite a depressing storyline of the book. I believe that I¡¯m here to change the direction of the story. As long as I am obedient, I should not be subjected to the abuses of the internet anymore.¡¯


    After making up her mind, Lin Yan said to Su Yue, ¡°I chose the role of Gui Yushu in the Yearning for the Higher-ups.¡±


    After hearing this, Su Yue said to Lin Yan, ¡°the female lead has already been decided by Qi Sheng Entertainment, we only have the role of the second female lead just now. It¡¯s a role of a villain. Are you sure you can do it?¡±


    Lin Yan looked at the script and said to Su Yue, ¡°I think the role of Gui Yushu is very vivid. I believe that I can do it well.¡±


    As Lin Yan¡¯s manager, Su Yue still wanted to salvage the situation.


    She organized her thoughts and said to Lin Yan, ¡°although the plot is good and the character is full of emotions, the characters in it are not popular with the audience. For someone who has just entered the entertainment industry, the impact of the post-production development is not good.¡±


    Lin Yan listened to Su Yue¡¯s concerns and looked at Su Yue seriously. ¡°Although she is the villain, she is not bad. She is just too willful. If the post-production editing is more appropriate, it should not be too annoying.¡±


    Su Yue thought for a moment and said, ¡°okay, then you just have to think that you can act well. Leave the rest to me.¡±


    Lin Yan nodded and said to Su Yue, ¡°when will the filming start?¡±


    Su Yue looked at Lin Yan and said, ¡°the casting will be decided in a week, and the preparation time for the actors will be about a week. In other words, the filming will start in two or three weeks.¡±


    Lin Yan listened to Su Yue¡¯s words and thought, ¡®there are still two or three weeks left. I still have a lot of free time. I have to work harder on the road of love between the male and female leads.¡¯


    Lin Yan thought about it and said to Su Yue, ¡°we will meet the actors in advance. Do you want to have a gathering?¡±


    Su Yue looked at Lin Yan and said casually, ¡°this is different from the director¡¯s requirements. Normally, director Tu should have a gathering, but it¡¯s not a large-scale gathering. It¡¯s just a few main actors, directors, and scriptwriters having a meal together.¡±


    ¡°Your role is the second female lead, so your role is more important. If there¡¯s a gathering later, I¡¯ll inform you.¡±


    Lin Yan nodded and said yes to Su Yue.


    After finalizing the script, Lin Yan drove to So Plaza and bought a cup of milk tea. She sat on the soft seat on the second floor and looked at the pedestrians outside the window. She felt that she would not have the chance to drink milk tea openly in the future, so she took a deep breath, she took another sip.


    After drinking, Lin Yan thought, ¡®I don¡¯t know if the children in the mountain area miss me. They haven¡¯t seen me for a long time. I think they will miss me.¡¯


    ¡®I want to end my life here as soon as possible. I want to die peacefully and return to their side.¡¯


    ¡®Also, the little bastard who beat me up, wait for my glorious return. When I find you, I will definitely give you an unforgettable memory.¡±


    Lin Yan, who was sitting on the soft seat, smiled and looked angry at the same time. She recalled the past as if no one else was around. The people next to her wanted to strike up a conversation, but when they saw her smiling and getting angry at the same time, they did not dare to approach her, they turned around and walked in the opposite direction.


    After recalling for a while, Lin Yan felt that she could not sit still. She decided to come back to reality. She thought about the male lead and the recent events that happened to the female lead. She realized that they were currently in an ambiguous phase.


    She made up her mind to get rid of the hidden dangers. She decided to look for Sheng Yuxi and see what he was doing recently. At the same time, she would stop herself from meeting the female lead.


    After thinking for a while, Lin Yan went downstairs to pack a cup of milk tea and drove her Benz (as the eldest daughter of the Lin family, she had to change cars) to Shengshi Group.

 Chapter 19

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    When the car arrived at the entrance of Shengshi, Lin Yan tactfully did not get out of the car. She called Shen Wu from the car and said, ¡°Shen Wu, I¡¯m downstairs at Shengshi right now. Is Sheng Yuxi in his office?¡±


    Shen Wu picked up the phone and listened to the voice. He was stunned and asked in confusion, ¡°excuse me, who are you?¡±


    When Lin Yan heard this, she immediately flew into a rage. However, she adjusted herself and said in a low voice, ¡°your President Sheng¡¯s girlfriend.¡±


    Shen Wu suddenly thought of that lady. He smiled apologetically and said, ¡°Miss Lin, I¡¯m really sorry. My memory is terrible. I¡¯m really sorry. I¡¯ll go down and pick you up now.¡±


    Lin Yan interrupted, ¡°I¡¯m not here to see you. Why are you picking me up? Go and see if your President Sheng is in the office and see what he¡¯s doing at the same time.¡±


    Shen Wu, who had just come out of the office, immediately replied, ¡°yes, our President Sheng is in the office dealing with documents.¡±


    Lin Yan heard the reply and immediately got out of the car. She walked to the front desk that had just put down the phone and said, ¡°I¡¯m here to look for President Sheng.¡± The front desk immediately smiled and replied, ¡°yes, ma¡¯am. President Sheng is on the 18th floor. You can wait a moment. Assistant Shen said that he will come down to pick you up.¡±


    The angry Lin Yan did not want to see Shen Wu. She turned a deaf ear to the words of the front desk. She turned around and went up to the 18th floor of the elevator with ease.


    When she came to the 18th floor, Lin Yan saw that two people were working. She ignored them. When she walked to their office area, one of them saw Lin Yan and suddenly stood up, saying, ¡°how are you, lady boss? The boss is inside.¡±


    When the other person heard this, he looked at Lin Yan in confusion. He stood up and echoed, ¡°how are you, lady boss? The boss is inside.¡±


    When Lin Yan heard the two people¡¯s words, she wanted to say something, but she closed her mouth and nodded.


    Looking at Lin Yan who walked over, the second person said to the first person, ¡°Shen Qi, How did you know that this is the lady boss?¡±


    Shen Qi said helplessly, ¡°Shen San, can you be more careful? Is your phone just a decoration? A few days ago, in the group, Shen Wu already informed us to be ready to welcome our little lady boss at any time.¡±


    Shen San still took out his phone in confusion and looked at the notification from the Shen group. He was surprised for a moment before calming down.


    Lin Yan walked to the door of the President¡¯s office and pushed it open. When she saw Sheng Yuxi working seriously with a pen on his desk, she felt her heart beating faster than the last time. She thought to herself, ¡®sure enough, serious people are very beautiful. No, very handsome.¡¯


    Sheng Yuxi did not look up when he heard the door open. He waited for a while and said, ¡°there¡¯s something you want?¡±


    After waiting for a while, no one answered. Sheng Yuxi looked up and saw Lin Yan looking at him with an infatuated look. He then stood up and coughed twice.


    Lin Yan came back to her senses when she heard the voice. She smiled and said to Sheng Yuxi, ¡°Xixi, you are so handsome. You are even more handsome than the last time I saw you.¡±


    When Sheng Yuxi heard this, he thought of something and his face turned black. He walked to Lin Yan¡¯s side and put his arm around her waist. ¡°Really? How handsome am I? Tell me about it.¡±


    Lin Yan realized that she had said something wrong. She immediately held Sheng Yuxi¡¯s arm. She said, ¡°Xixi, you¡¯re always handsome. You¡¯re the most handsome in my heart.¡±


    Then, she brought the milk tea in her hand to Sheng Yuxi¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°Xixi, look, I even bought you milk tea. It¡¯s very good with sweet potato paste.¡±


    Although Lin Yan said this, she kept feeling like vomiting in her heart. She thought, ¡®for the sake of you two, I¡¯m willing to give up my face. Male and female lead, you must be together properly.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi did not take the milk tea, but Lin Yan was not angry. She let go of Sheng Yuxi¡¯s arm and put down the milk tea. She smiled and said, ¡°Xixi, you don¡¯t even care about me. My hands are tired. I carried this milk tea all the way up here.¡± After that, she put the milk tea on the coffee table and rubbed her hands.


    Sheng Yuxi listened to this and looked at Lin Yan¡¯s series of actions. Finally, he frowned and said, ¡°Lin Yan, if you have something to say, say it. Don¡¯t talk in a weird manner.¡±


    When Lin Yan saw that her goal had been achieved, she said to Sheng Yuxi, ¡°Sheng Yuxi, as your girlfriend, I can enjoy the treatment of a girlfriend, right?¡±


    She stole a glance at Sheng Yuxi and saw that he was looking at her with interest. Lin Yan continued, ¡°I want to go to the movies tomorrow. Come with me.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi thought for a moment. He was not interested in this kind of thing and said, ¡°I¡¯m not interested, I¡¯m not going.¡±


    Lin Yan said unwillingly, ¡°as a rising star in your company, I want to learn from the experience of my seniors. As a qualified boyfriend, I think it¡¯s more appropriate for you to accompany me on this matter.¡±


    Then, Lin Yan approached Sheng Yuxi and whispered to him, ¡°don¡¯t forget about the Lin Corporation.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi looked down at Lin Yan and said to her, ¡°I¡¯m not interested. I have something to do tomorrow, so I don¡¯t want to go.¡±


    Lin Yan did not give up and continued to say shamelessly, ¡°I don¡¯t care. I¡¯ll come to your company tomorrow morning. Wherever you go, I¡¯ll go. I don¡¯t care. I want to be with you.¡±


    After saying that, she opened the door angrily and wanted to leave the office. When she opened the door, she saw Shen Wu and the two men¡¯s faces. She glared at them, shook her bag, and strode toward the elevator.


    Sheng Yuxi saw Shen Wu and the others and said, ¡°I¡¯m working overtime tonight.¡± When Shen Wu and the others heard this, they looked at each other and lowered their heads to touch their noses.


    On the elevator, Lin Yan was still angry. Getting in the car, Lin Yan looked for milk tea everywhere, but she could not find it.


    She calmed down and thought, ¡®what am I angry about? I¡¯m in my prime, I¡¯m not angry, I¡¯m not angry.¡¯


    She listened to the music in the car all the way back to the Lin family.

 Chapter 20

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    When Lin Yan returned home, she felt that in order to return to her real world as soon as possible, she needed to act on her words. She set an alarm clock to wake up early and prepare for tomorrow¡¯s historic battle.


    At seven o¡¯clock in the morning, Lin Yan got up and decided that she must be beautiful from head to toe today. She decided to put on her best makeup and wore a tight-fitting long skirt to fully display her figure.


    It was still cold in late autumn. Lin Yan thought about it and decided to wear a white cashmere windbreaker from F Brand. For the convenience of today¡¯s operation, she decided to wear a backpack and a pair of low-heeled leather shoes.


    Standing in front of the mirror, Lin Yan looked at the leather shoes on her feet and said in her heart, ¡®not only is the host¡¯s figure great, but her height is 175cm even with low-heeled shoes. Do other people even stand a chance?¡¯


    Then, she thought of looking up at Sheng Yuxi the day before and thought, ¡®it really is a novel with a standard figure. He should be 192cm, by the looks of it.¡¯


    Lin Yan rubbed her neck, then hit herself on the forehead and muttered, ¡°What do you want him for?¡±


    At eight o¡¯clock Sharp, Lin Yan opened the car door and walked into Shengshi gate in her low-heeled shoes. When she entered the door, she saw that it was still the receptionist lady from yesterday, so she said to her, ¡°just like yesterday, I¡¯m here to look for Sheng Yuxi.¡±


    Due to Shen Wu¡¯s instructions yesterday, the receptionist did not dare to be negligent. She nodded and said with a smile, ¡°okay, please wait a moment. I¡¯ll contact assistant Shen.¡±


    Lin Yan said suspiciously, ¡°You don¡¯t have to call him. I¡¯ll just go up directly.¡±


    When the receptionist heard Lin Yan say this, she remembered that assistant Shen had also told her yesterday that if this person came, she must inform him. After thinking for a while, she said, ¡°okay.¡±


    Seeing that Lin Yan had turned around and walked away, she immediately called Assistant Shen.


    Lin Yan went up to the 18th floor. When the elevator door opened, she saw Shen Wu¡¯s smiling face. He said to her, ¡°Miss Lin, our boss is still in a meeting.¡±


    Lin Yan also could not figure out what Shen Wu wanted to say. She walked to the Director¡¯s office by herself. Shen Wu watched Lin Yan¡¯s determined footsteps from behind. He jogged up and helped Lin Yan push open the door so that Lin Yan could enter.


    Lin Yan watched Shen Wu help her and did not say anything. She went straight into the office. Seeing that Sheng Yuxi was not in the office, she looked at Shen Wu questioningly.


    Shen Wu saw Lin Yan¡¯s eyes and understood. He immediately said, ¡°boss¡¯s meeting is on the 17th floor. The meeting ends at 10.¡±


    Lin Yan nodded and sat on the sofa. She said to Shen Wu, ¡°go and pour me a cup of milk tea.¡±.


    Shen Wu lowered his head and said to Lin Yan, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Miss Lin. We don¡¯t have milk tea here. Can I pour you a cup of black tea?¡±


    Lin Yan did not like to drink tea. She said to Shen Wu, ¡°forget it. You can go out. I¡¯ll wait for your boss here. When I order takeout, just bring it up for me.¡±


    Shen Wu immediately replied as if he was relieved, ¡°okay, Miss Lin. Then I¡¯ll pour you a cup of plain water first.¡±


    Lin Yan nodded, turned on her phone, and began to order takeout. Not long after, Shen Wu brought in a glass of water.


    Lin Yan looked down at her phone and said, ¡°does your boss have the same WeChat and phone number?¡±


    Shen Wu did not know, so he asked, ¡°I¡¯m not too sure about this. You can ask the boss.¡±


    She nodded and asked Shen Wu to leave.


    The takeout arrived one after another. Lin Yan looked at the milk tea that was finally delivered and happily opened it to drink. After drinking a mouthful, she slowly opened the takeout boxes and prepared to have a full meal.


    As she ate, Lin Yan realized that something was missing. She walked to the door and said to Shen Wu, ¡°go and find me a tablet.¡± Shen wu immediately replied, ¡°okay, please wait a moment.¡±


    After Sheng Yuxi finished his meeting, he saw Lin Yan, who was wearing a tight black dress and had curly hair, sitting on his sofa. The coffee table in front of her was filled with food boxes. She stared at the tablet in front of her without blinking.


    Sheng Yuxi was at the door. He turned around and said to the people behind him, ¡°you guys go back first. You can talk to Shen Qi about the matter. Get Shen Qi to report to me about the outcome of the discussion later.¡±


    The people behind him all lowered their heads and nodded. They did not dare to take a second look at Lin Yan who was inside.


    Sheng Yuxi looked at Lin Yan who was watching the video seriously. He walked over to Lin Yan, looked at her tablet, and said, ¡°this is the senior that you have to learn from.¡±


    Lin Yan raised her head in shock and looked at Xi Yuan on the tablet. She said to Sheng Yuxi awkwardly, ¡°you¡¯re back. Do you want to eat breakfast? The custard buns are very delicious. Have a taste.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi looked at the delicacies on the coffee table and said to Lin Yan, ¡°clean up the table after you eat.¡± Then, he turned around and walked to the office desk, ignoring Lin Yan.


    Lin Yan pouted at Sheng Yuxi and played the video to continue watching her favorite man.


    Sheng Yuxi listened to the voice of the boy in the drama and felt that he could not calm down. He said to Lin Yan, ¡°stop making noise. Go back as soon as you finish eating.¡±


    Lin Yan was upset when she heard this. In order to express her anger toward him, she raised her head and glared at Sheng Yuxi. Sheng Yuxi, who was glared at, lowered his head and worked as if nothing had happened.

 Chapter 21

    After dinner, Lin Yan thought about today¡¯s mission and reminded Sheng Yuxi, ¡°Wherever you go today, I¡¯ll go. I won¡¯t let you out of my sight.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi helplessly said to Lin Yan, ¡°can you stop fooling around? You are just a contract girlfriend, not a real one.¡±


    Lin Yan looked at Sheng Yuxi and said to him, ¡°in my mind, since you are my boyfriend, you have to fulfill your boyfriend¡¯s responsibility. Which boyfriend wouldn¡¯t accompany his girlfriend to go shopping?¡±


    Sheng Yuxi did not want to pay attention to Lin Yan¡¯s argument and lowered his head to work.


    Lin Yan saw Sheng Yuxi¡¯s defeat and felt very happy, so she continued, ¡°as your girlfriend, I think it¡¯s necessary to add your contact information. Give me your phone.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi ignored Lin Yan. Lin Yan walked to Sheng Yuxi¡¯s office and picked up the phone in front of Sheng Yuxi. She aimed the phone at Sheng Yuxi¡¯s face, and the phone automatically lit up.


    Sheng Yuxi reached out to grab the phone, but Lin Yan quickly rushed to the lounge and closed the door. She said to Sheng Yuxi outside, ¡°I won¡¯t do anything besides adding your WeChat. Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    After a while, Lin Yan said to Sheng Yuxi outside the door, ¡°I already have your contact information. I¡¯ll go out now, but you have to promise that you won¡¯t hurt me.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi ignored her. Lin Yan did not hear anything from inside and continued, ¡°if you don¡¯t say anything, I¡¯ll take it as you agree.¡±


    Lin Yan opened the door and carefully poked her head out. Sheng Yuxi saw a head poking out of the lounge and he reached out his hand. Lin Yan gulped, opened the door, and carefully handed the phone to Sheng Yuxi.


    After handing over the phone, Lin Yan quickly ran to the coffee table and said to Sheng Yuxi, ¡°are you really not going to look at your phone? What if I steal your documents?¡±


    Sheng Yuxi looked at Lin Yan with a brain-damaged expression and said, ¡°this phone is specially customized. It is not so poor in terms of security.¡±


    Lin Yan nodded her head and changed the topic. ¡°Where are you going tonight? I¡¯m with you today anyway. Tell me first so that I can be mentally prepared.¡±


    Lin Yan did not hear Sheng Yuxi¡¯s answer. She thought that if the hard way did not work, then she would soften up. If he won¡¯t bring me along, then I would be here to annoy him to death.


    Therefore, Lin Yan continued, ¡°Sheng Yuxi, are you going to the Imperial Court for dinner tonight? Look, I even know about it. Don¡¯t you want to know how I Know About It?¡±


    Sheng Yuxi was puzzled. He looked at Lin Yan as if he was looking at a fool and said, ¡°since you know about it, then hurry up and go home. I won¡¯t bring you there.¡±


    Lin Yan was not affected by Sheng Yuxi¡¯s rejection. She looked at Sheng Yuxi and said, ¡°I¡¯m going to film in two weeks. I might not see you for a long time. You don¡¯t even want to spend time with me, so I got no choice but to accompany you.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi heard Lin Yan¡¯s words and did not want to explain further. He lowered his head and ignored Lin Yan. He thought to himself, ¡®why haven¡¯t I heard that Joy Entertainment is recruiting new actors to film recently?¡¯


    After thinking about it, Sheng Yuxi felt that he was being ridiculous, so he shut himself out.


    Lin Yan was not discouraged and continued to speak, but when she saw that Sheng Yuxi did not reply, she became upset. She doubted herself and thought, ¡®am I not beautiful today?¡¯


    Lin Yan walked to Sheng Yuxi¡¯s desk and bent down to help Sheng Yuxi clean up the documents on the desk. From time to time, she would take advantage of Sheng Yuxi, touching him here and there.


    Sheng Yuxi raised his head and glanced at Lin Yan, who was wearing a low-cut tight dress. He felt like there was a fire somewhere in his body. He said to Lin Yan in a low and suppressed voice, ¡°if you want to go, then go. Don¡¯t walk around in front of me anymore.¡±


    Lin Yan felt that her soft approach policy was very effective when she heard Sheng Yuxi¡¯s answer. She smiled sweetly at Sheng Yuxi and said, ¡°okay, President Sheng.¡± Then, she pretended to be calm and walked to the sofa to look at the tablet.


    Sheng Yuxi suppressed himself and continued to work. When he took his occasional breaks, he glanced up at Lin Yan who was staring at the tablet. He actually felt that the girl who was pestering him was not that annoying.


    Then, he thought of something and called Shen Wu to come in and take the tablet out. Lin Yan looked at Shen Wu and felt that it was very strange that he wanted the tablet. However, it belonged to him, and he had something to do, so she could not refuse. She returned the tablet to Shen Wu.


    Lin Yan was scrolling through her phone on the sofa. Soon, she fell asleep. Not long after, she woke up due to her uncomfortable sleeping posture.


    In a daze, she said out loud, ¡°I want to go to your lounge to rest for a while. If you don¡¯t answer, I¡¯ll take it as a yes.¡±


    Lin Yan did not realize that she was the only one in the office at the moment. No one answered, so Lin Yan opened the door of the lounge and walked to the soft bed.

 Chapter 22

    Sheng Yuxi returned from the meeting to find that Lin Yan had disappeared from the sofa. All he saw was a white coat draped over the sofa. Sheng Yuxi turned around and went out. He asked Shen Wu, ¡°where¡¯s did she go?¡±


    Shen Wu, who had expressed his own doubts, said to Sheng Yuxi, ¡°I didn¡¯t see Miss Lin leave the office. I thought she was inside.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi glanced at Shen Wu, pushed open the office door, and went in. He sat in the chair and thought, ¡®a woman who doesn¡¯t mean what she says, hehe.¡¯


    However, after Sheng Yuxi finished his work, he looked at the time and decided to have a meal. He asked Shen Wu to go to the staff canteen and get a meal for him.


    Shen Wu nimbly ordered two meals. He took the lunchbox and said to Sheng Yuxi, ¡°Director Sheng, I think Miss Lin is hungry too, so I also ordered one for Miss Lin.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi saw the two servings of rice and nodded. ¡°Go out and eat your portion.¡±


    Shen Wu did not dare to refuse or question Sheng Yuxi¡¯s words, so he walked out of the President¡¯s office with a questioning heart.


    Sheng Yuxi felt a little tired after lunch, so he walked to the lounge. He opened the door and saw Lin Yan lying on the bed. He walked out speechlessly, rubbed his eyes, and continued to work. However, he felt that his fatigue seemed to have been swept away.


    After Lin Yan woke up in the lounge, she looked at her watch and found that it was already three o¡¯clock in the afternoon. She decided to go out for afternoon tea. Under Sheng Yuxi¡¯s indifferent expression, she walked out of Shengshi Group and bought some desserts.


    After she finished eating, she did not forget to pack a portion for Sheng Yuxi. She thought to herself, ¡°I have done my job well as a girlfriend. Sheng Yuxi, don¡¯t be too touched.¡±


    After returning to Shengshi Group, Lin Yan found that Sheng Yuxi was still at work. She walked to the desk, flipped open the dessert box, and said to Sheng Yuxi, ¡°this is a thank-you fee for your bed in the lounge. Eat it.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi had never been resistant to desserts. Thinking that he was also a little hungry, he picked it up and ate it.


    Lin Yan saw that Sheng Yuxi had taken the dessert, so she walked to the coffee table again. She took her phone and browsed videos and entertainment news.


    When it was almost six o¡¯clock, Sheng Yuxi walked to Lin Yan¡¯s side and said, ¡°let¡¯s go.¡±


    Lin Yan nodded and said, ¡°okay.¡± Then, she followed Sheng Yuxi to the elevator and took the elevator down to the basement. When she went to the basement, she found that Shen Wu and the others were not beside the car. She looked at Sheng Yuxi with confusion and said, ¡°are you going to drive yourself?¡±


    Sheng Yuxi glanced at Lin Yan and said, ¡°I¡¯m not driving, you drive.¡±


    Lin Yan ignored Sheng Yuxi. After the car lights were turned on, she opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. When Sheng Yuxi got in the car, she could not help but say, ¡°you really don¡¯t have any grace. No wonder you can¡¯t find love.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi listened to Lin Yan¡¯s self-imagined words and said, ¡°you sit in the back.¡±


    Lin Yan seemed to have realized something and said, ¡°I won¡¯t. I¡¯ll just sit here.¡± Then she continued angrily, ¡°only I can sit in this seat for the next two years.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi did not want to pay attention to Lin Yan¡¯s unreasonable arguments and drove to the Imperial Court. It was late autumn, and the sky turned dark early. Lin Yan got out of the car, straightened her clothes, and followed Sheng Yuxi into the Imperial Court.


    When they reached the private room, Lin Yan looked at the handsome faces and saw a familiar face among them. She knew that this was Sheng Yuxi¡¯s circle of friends.


    When Bai Fu saw Lin Yan, he stood up and walked to Sheng Yuxi¡¯s side. He whispered to Sheng Yuxi, ¡°Second Sheng, why did you bring Lin Yan Here?¡±


    Sheng Yuxi did not answer and looked at Lin Yan. Lin Yan let go of her hand and pulled on her clothes. She looked up at Bai Fu and said, ¡°I¡¯m your future second sister-in-law.¡±


    Bai Xu widened his eyes and looked at Sheng Yuxi. ¡°When did you two get together?¡± After that, he turned to look at Lin Yan.


    Lin Yan said, ¡°not long ago, just last week. We just confirmed our relationship.¡±


    In the private room, there was a golden-rimmed man with a seductive woman sitting on his lap. He said, ¡°Second Sheng, aren¡¯t you going to introduce us?¡±


    Sheng Yuxi said to the man, ¡°you heard it. Do you need me to say anything else?¡±


    The man pushed the woman on his lap away and walked to Lin Yan. He reached out his hand and said, ¡°nice to meet you, beautiful lady. I¡¯m Xin Silin, the third oldest here. You can call me Third Xin.¡±.


    Lin Yan nodded and did not reach out her hand. She used her hand to push the curls in front of her back and said, ¡°nice to meet you. My name is Lin Yan.¡±


    Third Xin subsequently introduced Yan Youlou to Lin Yan. Third Xin said, ¡°he¡¯s the oldest here. You can call him First Yan.¡± Lin Yan nodded.


    Then, she said, ¡°Bai Fu is the fourth brother. Also, Si Shaoqi, who is currently abroad, he¡¯s the fifth brother.¡±


    Lin Yan said jokingly, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Yuxi to know so many people. It¡¯ll be pretty lively in the future.¡±


    Xin Silin did not know what she meant and gave a half-understood smile. Lin Yan stayed with them and felt that they were not as scary as they were described to the outside world. They just looked scary on the surface.

 Chapter 23

    Thereafter, Lin Yan had been sitting beside Sheng Yuxi, drinking alone. From time to time, Bai Fu would even come over to talk to her. At other times, Lin Yan felt that she could not understand what they were saying, and she did not want to listen to them either.


    After drinking for a while, Lin Yan felt that she was a little dizzy from drinking. She lowered her head to look at the time and realized that it was already 10:20.


    Time really passed quickly. There was no possibility of Sheng Yuxi and the female protagonist meeting today, so she told Sheng Yuxi that she wanted to go back. Sheng Yuxi nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ll ask Shen Wu to send you back.¡±


    Lin Yan heard this and said, ¡°aren¡¯t you leaving yet?¡± Lin Yan thought of Sheng Yuxi staying here by himself. There was still a possibility of the female protagonist and Sheng Yuxi meeting, so she continued to say, ¡°forget it. If you¡¯re not leaving, I¡¯m not leaving either.¡±


    Bai Fu happened to hear their conversation. He looked at the slightly tipsy Lin Yan and said to Sheng Yuxi, ¡°Second brother, why don¡¯t you guys leave first?¡±


    Sheng Yuxi looked down at the time and then at the dazed Lin Yan. He nodded at Bai Fu, picked up his phone, and made a call. After waiting for a while, he greeted the people in the room and led Lin Yan out.


    Third Xin watched the ¡®husband and wife duo¡¯ walk out of the room and said to Bai Fu, ¡°what¡¯s wrong with these two? They don¡¯t look like a couple. Was Second Sheng coerced into the relationship?¡±


    Then, thinking that this was unlikely, he denied himself and said, ¡°Second Sheng definitely would not be coerced. Tell me how you met such a beautiful lady.¡±


    Bai Fu shook his head, indicating that he did not know what the relationship between the two was. He said, ¡°the new actress in our company is very beautiful.¡±


    Moreover, in the end, he even exchanged Lin Yan¡¯s wine for a glass of low-alcohol wine. This was not something Second Sheng would usually do.


    Lin Yan, who had walked out of the Imperial Court, thought that today¡¯s time was not over yet. She had to ensure that the second male lead would not meet the female lead again, so she said to Sheng Yuxi, ¡°have you finished your business for today?¡±


    Sheng Yuxi looked at Lin Yan in confusion. A bad premonition arose in his heart, and he said impatiently, ¡°what other business do you have?¡±


    Lin Yan took Sheng Yuxi¡¯s arm and smiled at Sheng Yuxi. ¡°I still want to go to the movies. Can you come with me?¡±


    Sheng Yuxi was afraid that Lin Yan would pester him. He said to the slightly tipsy Lin Yan, ¡°you can¡¯t even walk properly on your own. Are you sure you¡¯re not going to the cinema just to sleep?¡±


    Lin Yan shook her head. ¡°No, no. Trust me. Besides, I¡¯m not drunk. It¡¯s just that my reaction is a little slow now.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi opened the car door and did not want to bother himself with Lin Yan anymore. Smelling like alcohol, Lin Yan hugged Sheng Yuxi¡¯s waist. Without stopping, she said, ¡°let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. I want to go and see a movie.¡±


    That feeling that Sheng Yuxi felt that afternoon had returned. He said to Lin Yan, ¡°take away your hands. I¡¯ll think about it before answering you.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi did not know why his heart softened. He looked at Lin Yan, who was blushing and felt like giving her a kiss. His throat moved, and he pulled Lin Yan into the car. He said to Shen Wu, who opened the car door and stood at the side with his head lowered, ¡°drive us to Autumn Goose.¡±


    The car drove steadily, and people who were slightly tipsy were even dizzier. Lin Yan found a seat in the car and fell asleep. When she woke up again, she saw black curtains and that she was on a bed.


    She looked at her clothes and moved her body. She quickly opened the room door and walked outside. When she reached the living room, she saw Sheng Yuxi in gray pajamas sitting at the dining table eating breakfast. He looked outside from time to time and everything felt like a painting.


    Lin Yan unconsciously stopped when she saw Sheng Yuxi. Then, she wiped her mouth and turned around to walk to the room.


    Lin Yan, who had tidied herself up, was still thinking, ¡®a man actually has lady¡¯s things in his house. He has such bad intentions.¡¯


    ¡®This Sheng Yuxi is really different from what the author wrote. If it¡¯s the same, why is his character so outstanding? He wants to bring a little girl home, and he even has toiletries.¡¯


    Looking at Lin Yan, who was full of energy and had exquisite makeup, she looked down at her watch and said, ¡°you¡¯ve accompanied me for nearly 24 hours. I think you can go home now.¡±


    Lin Yan looked as if she had mistaken Sheng Yuxi for someone else and did not want to talk to him. Sheng Yuxi, who seemed to know what Lin Yan was thinking, said, ¡°you were dressed by Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang is out to buy groceries now.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi looked at Lin Yan¡¯s disbelieving expression. He said, ¡°usually, Aunt Zhang only stays here on Friday nights and weekends. The rest of the time, she cleans here.¡±


    ¡°You were unconscious and refused to leave the car yesterday, so I called Aunt Zhang to help.¡±


    ¡°Also, the room you just stayed in was my sister¡¯s. It was a spur-of-the-moment room. All the things you used were hers.¡±


    Lin Yan heard this and was skeptical. She had heard about Sheng Yuxi¡¯s sister. She no longer cared about what Sheng Yuxi had done. She sat down, picked up a sandwich from Sheng Yuxi¡¯s plate, and ate breakfast.

 Chapter 24

    After Lin Yan finished her breakfast, she asked Sheng Yuxi to take her to Shengshi Group and told him that she would drive her car back. Sheng Yuxi felt that there was nothing wrong with this reason, so he took Lin Yan to Shengshi Group.


    Lin Yan, who had untied her seatbelt, approached Sheng Yuxi and said, ¡°my boyfriend¡¯s pajamas are very nice. You must miss in the coming days, okay?¡±


    Then, she immediately opened the car door, closed it, and said to Sheng Yuxi, who was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat, ¡°don¡¯t flirt with other women, or there will be a surprise.¡±


    After saying that, Lin Yan did not expect Sheng Yuxi to reply, nor did she want to see his angry expression. She turned around and swaggered to her own parking spot.


    Lin Yan, who got on the Benz, felt that she had successfully blocked the opportunity for the second male lead to meet the female lead. She felt that she had to reward herself, so she drove the Benz home to take a shower, and then went to the mall to make a killing.


    When she got home, Lin Yan told mother Lin that she was having a drink with the boss of Joy Entertainment last night. She thought that it was too late, so she stayed out for the night before coming back.


    Lin Yan¡¯s mother was not a restrictive mother. She gave her child a lot of freedom, so she told Lin Yan that if she had any problems, she could voice out.


    Lin Yan went upstairs and changed her clothes. She felt that it was not suitable for her to wear complicated clothes when she was going to the mall later, so she put on a one-piece dress with a woolen coat over it and prepared to go out.


    Shopping alone was lonely, while shopping with a partner was fun.


    Lin Yan decided that she should call Xiang Yimeng. She wanted to fly over to go shopping with her. It will be like a mini road trip. Anyway, as a rich and beautiful woman, as long as she was happy, it was fine.


    When the call connected, Lin Yan preemptively said, ¡°Meng, are you busy? I want to look for you to go shopping.¡± As an experienced shopping expert, Xiang Yimeng said, ¡°I¡¯m not busy. Have you bought your ticket? When will it arrive?¡±


    Lin Yan said, ¡°Not yet. I just want to ask about your time and then decide. Why Don¡¯t you help me book it directly from there? Give me the boarding time and send me the information.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng replied, ¡°okay, I¡¯ll take a look at the flight information. Don¡¯t hang up, I¡¯ll tell you the information directly.¡±


    Lin Yan said while packing up her cosmetics, ¡°Mengzi, I don¡¯t want to bring anything with me. I¡¯m going to seek refuge with you. Do you think it¡¯s okay? If you don¡¯t say anything, I¡¯ll take it as your promise.¡±


    Lin Yan knew that Xiang Yimeng would definitely say something if she was serious about it. So she put down her cosmetics, hummed a song, and sat on the sofa, for an answer from Yimeng.


    After a while, Xiang Yimeng said, ¡°I think there is a flight to Melbourne at 10 o¡¯clock at the earliest. If you are in a hurry, you can catch the flight. Can you make it?¡±


    Lin Yan thought that she did not need to pack her luggage, so she had nothing to bring along. Therefore, she held back her laughter and said to Xiang Yimeng, ¡°no problem, I can make it. But, when I get off the plane, I want to see my afternoon tea.¡±


    Hearing Lin Yan¡¯s useless words, Xiang Yimeng pretended to be angry and said, ¡°look at how useless you are. How can I treat you badly? I got it, I got it.¡± Then, Xiang Yimeng hung up the phone.


    After hanging up the phone, Lin Yan told her family in the car that she was going out to play with Xiang Yimeng for two days. Her family did not object and just told her to pay more attention to her safety.


    Lin Yan got on the plane and was about to post a message on her WeChat Moments to commemorate her happiness. At the same time, she also wanted people to see it, so she sent a plane ticket and a smiley face.


    She also sent Sheng Yuxi a magnified time of arrival of the plane. She also posted, [I will have a safe journey. Don¡¯t miss me too much, and don¡¯t think about other women.]


    Inside room 1701 on the 17th floor of Shengshi Group, a meeting was going on. Two phone calls suddenly came from the room. Everyone held their breaths and looked at the boss. When they saw the boss pick up the phone and look at it, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. They could not help but be shocked.


    After looking at the phone, Sheng Yuxi looked at his subordinates who had shocked expressions, and said, ¡°the planning department will talk about the plan for this week.¡± Then, everyone returned to normal.


    After sending the message, Lin Yan browsed through the romantic history she had recorded. She felt that even if she went out for a few days, coming back would not affect her survival and development. Hence, she happily picked up her headphones and leaned against her seat to sleep.

 Chapter 25

    After getting off the plane, Lin Yan saw Xiang Yimeng wearing a black beret and holding a cup of milk tea in her hand. She immediately to her.


    When she reached Xiang Yimeng¡¯s side, she opened her arms and was about to hug Xiang Yimeng, who had a look of rejection on her face. While hugging Yimeng, she said, ¡°Meng, I miss you so much. Did you miss me? I have so many things to say to you. Come, let¡¯s talk as we walk.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng said to Lin Yan, who was unable to decline her kind offer, ¡°Yes, I miss you, I miss you. I¡¯ve missed you all along.¡±


    Thus, the two of them walked while drinking milk tea. They walked to Xiang Yimeng¡¯s car and got in. Lin Yan could not help but say, ¡°Meng, this milk tea is even better than the one in China.¡±


    As Lin Yan¡¯s best friend, Xiang Yimeng, who had accompanied Lin Yan to drink milk tea on the streets and alleys, said, ¡°it¡¯s pretty good. If you want to drink it in China, I¡¯ll go back and collect some information. I¡¯ll open one in China too.¡±


    Lin Yan heard Xiang Yimeng¡¯s words and felt that it was indeed feasible, so she said to Xiang Yimeng, ¡°let¡¯s open it together. I want to be the boss too. I can drink milk tea anytime and anywhere.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng looked at her best friend helplessly. Although Xiang Yimeng was now abroad and was still the daughter of the Xiang group, the low-key and hot-tempered Xiang Yimeng was not valued in the family.


    Thinking of this, Lin Yan felt that she could not keep dragging Xiang Yimeng back. She decided to open one with her. She would pay for it herself and she would pay for the technical information.


    However, Lin Yan, who did not have a deep understanding of Xiang Yimeng¡¯s work and education. She did not know that Xiang Yimeng made a lot of money with her good hacking skills. She also had a good reputation among the hacking community.


    Hackers always had risks. In order to ensure the safety of her best friend, Lin Yan, Xiang Yimeng did not want to talk about her work too much. Therefore, in Lin Yan¡¯s mind, Xiang Yimeng had the image of a ¡®poor¡¯ best friend.


    Lin Yan said to Xiang Yimeng in the car, ¡°Meng, I¡¯m going to step into the entertainment industry. In the future, if you miss me, you can see me anytime and anywhere.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng glanced at the excited Lin Yan and said, ¡°when did you decide? Regarding your figure, your appearance is unyielding, but regarding your brain, it feels like it¡¯s overqualified.¡±


    Lin Yan listened to Xiang Yimeng¡¯s words and immediately said, ¡°it was confirmed a few days ago. After confirming, I came to look for you. In two weeks, I¡¯m going to start working with the production team. I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll miss me, Hehe.¡±


    ¡°Because my appearance was too outstanding, I was discovered by the person in charge of Joy Entertainment in the milk tea shop. Hence, he invited me to join Joy Entertainment. Ever since I lost my memory, I also wanted to change my lifestyle.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, I agreed to join Joy Entertainment. Moreover, I still have Lin Yu at home. My family doesn¡¯t need me to do anything. I just want to do what I am interested in.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng looked at the serious Lin Yan and said, ¡°if you like it, I¡¯ll support you.¡±


    When Lin Yan heard Xiang Yimeng¡¯s words, she was so happy that she wanted to hug Xiang Yimeng.


    When Xiang Yimeng saw her best friend¡¯s happy look, she also smiled happily. However, she still said seriously, ¡°i¡¯m driving, Yan. Don¡¯t hug me.¡± Lin Yan sat back in her seat when she heard Xiang Yimeng¡¯s comment.


    Xiang Yimeng, thinking of Lin Yan who just got off a plane, did not drive the car to the mall. Instead, she drove the car home and made Lin Yan a tomato and cod noodles at home. Lin Yan praised her as she ate. Xiang Yimeng rolled her eyes when she heard it.


    After the meal, the two of them were ready to make a killing in the mall. However, Lin Yan saw that the sky was getting dark, she said to Xiang Yimeng, ¡°let¡¯s not go shopping today. We¡¯ll wait for tomorrow. I¡¯ll be here tomorrow anyway. Show me the life in Melbourne at night.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng thought that the day was indeed over. Moreover, the nightlife in Melbourne was indeed worth seeing, so she nodded and said to Lin Yan, ¡°if you go out, you¡¯ll be cold dressed like this. Go in and change your clothes. I¡¯ll take you out to have a look.¡±


    In the car, Xiang Yimeng introduced Melbourne to Lin Yan and said, ¡°Melbourne is the second-largest city in Australia, and also the center of Australian culture, art, and industry.¡±


    ¡°The name is named in memory of British Prime Minister William Lam¡¯s second generation of Viscount Melbourne. It used to be the capital of Australia, but because of the war between the two cities, the capital was eventually moved to Canberra.¡±


    ¡°Due to the geographical location and ocean currents, the temperature difference is also relatively large. The temperature difference between day and night can sometimes reach more than 20 degrees.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng looked at Lin Yan, who was listening seriously. Xiang Yimeng said, ¡°this is also the reason why I asked you to change your clothes just now. It would be colder at night.¡±

 Chapter 26

    ¡°In Melbourne, most people still communicate in English, but in some suburbs, English is not the main language. If you stay here for a few days, we should not go there, but if you want to go, you can take a look.¡±


    When Lin Yan heard this, she said, ¡°no need to go, I don¡¯t want to embarrass myself when I can¡¯t communicate.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng listened to Lin Yan¡¯s words and said, ¡°there are many places worth seeing in Melbourne. Your time is tight, so it¡¯s okay if we don¡¯t go there.¡±


    After Xiang Yimeng said that, she looked at Lin Yan and did not refute. Instead, she looked at the scenery outside. She said, ¡°Melbourne has a lot of Victorian buildings. The number is second only to London. There are also some Gothic buildings. They are all worth seeing. What you saw just now was a Victorian building.¡±


    Lin Yan nodded, feeling that she had to do a good job of teaching Xiang Yimeng when she went abroad in the future. She did not want Xiang Yimeng to be so tired. While driving, she still had to explain the city to her.


    ¡­


    Xiang Yimeng drove the car to the entrance of a hotel with a train station behind it. Xiang Yimeng said to Lin Yan, ¡°this is the riverside restaurant on the Yala River. The brightly lit buildings at night echo the quiet of the Yala River. It¡¯s very beautiful.¡±


    Lin Yan held Xiang Yimeng¡¯s arm and said, ¡°it¡¯s so beautiful, Meng. There are still people drinking beer over there. Let¡¯s Go and drink some too.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng nodded and walked over with Lin Yan. The two of them sat on their seats and looked at the lights outside. Lin Yan felt that this kind of life was something she had never thought of before. She felt very happy about this trip.


    In the early morning, Xiang Yimeng said to Lin Yan, ¡°are you tired? If you¡¯re not tired, I¡¯ll take you to another place.¡±


    Because the two of them had drunk, they called for a car. In the car, Lin Yan was still excitedly talking to Xiang Yimeng about everything.


    Before the car reached the location, they heard a deafening sound outside an alley. This made Lin Yan even more excited. Xiang Yimeng led Lin Yan into an alley and said, ¡°this is Hardwell Alley. We¡¯re very lucky today to have heard jazz.¡±


    Lin Yan and Xiang Yimeng released themselves to their hearts¡¯ content here, infecting the people around them with their own enthusiasm. It was not until the sky was slightly bright that Xiang Yimeng and Lin Yan reluctantly went home.


    When they got home, the two of them fell asleep and only woke up slightly around ten in the morning.


    After getting up, Lin Yan and Xiang Yimeng tidied themselves up. Xiang Yimeng said to Lin Yan, ¡°I¡¯m going to fry an egg and make a sandwich. You drink a cup of warm water first.¡±


    Lin Yan nodded. Out of curiosity, she followed Xiang Yimeng into the kitchen. Xiang Yimeng said to Lin Yan, ¡°do you want to try?¡± Lin Yan nodded and said with a smile, ¡°okay.¡±


    After dinner, the two of them took a taxi to the place where they parked the car last night. Then, they went straight to the Chadstone shopping center.


    Lin Yan felt her shopping desire grow stronger. She looked at Hugo Boss, Chanel, Prada, and all the familiar brands and felt her whole body boiling, especially when a shop occupied a huge area.


    Xiang Yimeng and Lin Yan shuttled from shop to shop. Soon, their hands were filled with shopping bags.


    Xiang Yimeng looked at the regretful Lin Yan and said, ¡°let¡¯s put the things in the car first. Later, I¡¯ll take you to the Emporium.¡±


    Lin Yan felt that her fashion sense had come alive again, so she pulled Xiang Yimeng and started buying everything. In the end, the car could no longer fit them, they asked the staff of the shopping center to send the things home.


    After shopping, Lin Yan and Xiang Yimeng walked to a Japanese food store. Xiang Yimeng and Lin Yan ordered seaweed fries and beef rice according to their preferences.


    The two of them felt a little tired after eating their fill, so they agreed to go to the supermarket and go home. The two of them tidied up their things when they went home. The already crowded cloakroom seemed to have more items.


    Thus, Lin Yan said to Xiang Yimeng, ¡°Meng, how much longer are you going to stay here?¡±


    Xiang Yimeng replied casually, ¡°about a year or so. Why? Did you find that you can¡¯t leave me?¡±


    Lin Yan nodded and said, ¡°do you want to convert the bedroom next door into a cloakroom? If you¡¯re afraid, I¡¯ll come over and sleep with you.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng felt that Lin Yan¡¯s words made sense, so she said, ¡°okay, that¡¯s fine too. I¡¯ll start looking for someone to renovate it next week.¡±


    Lin Yan looked at the crowded cloakroom and nodded. She hugged Xiang Yimeng and felt that she liked Xiang Yimeng more and more. If she left this city, Xiang Yimeng would probably be very sad. Then, she let go of Xiang Yimeng.


    Xiang Yimeng did not react to Lin Yan¡¯s actions. She was used to it.

 Chapter 27

    Lin Yan stayed abroad with Xiang Yimeng for another three days. Suddenly, a ringtone came from Lin Yan¡¯s phone. She was leaning against Xiang Yimeng on the sofa.


    Lin Yan picked up the phone, and Su Yue¡¯s voice came from the other side. ¡°Yanyan, have you gone abroad? The roles for the cast of ¡®Yearning for the Higher-ups¡¯ have been confirmed. They have informed us that they are going to have a meal together the day after tomorrow. Let¡¯s see when you will be back.¡±


    Lin Yan felt that the burden on her shoulders was too heavy. She said, ¡°okay, I will take the plane back tomorrow.¡±.


    After getting a reply, Su Yue said, ¡°okay, I will help you book the plane ticket here. I will send the message to your phone later.¡±


    Lin Yan said, ¡°okay.¡± So, the two of them hung up the phone.


    Lin Yan put down the phone and hugged Yimeng. With a nasal voice, she said, ¡°Meng, I¡¯m going back. I can¡¯t bear to leave you. You have to stay here and take care of yourself.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng listened to her best friend¡¯s emotional words and could not help but say, ¡°I¡¯ll send milk tea news to you. Can you manage in China?¡±.


    Hearing Xiang Yimeng¡¯s endless words, Lin Yan hugged Xiang Yimeng and said, ¡°won¡¯t you try to keep me here?¡±


    Lin Yan did not wait for Xiang Yimeng¡¯s reply. Immediately, she pushed Xiang Yimeng away and said, ¡°don¡¯t you know my ability? Don¡¯t underestimate me. I can do it in three days.¡±


    Xiang Yimeng listened to Lin Yan¡¯s confident words and said, ¡°since your ability is so outstanding, I¡¯ll let you sleep with me tonight.¡±


    When Lin Yan heard Xiang Yimeng¡¯s words, she turned around and hugged Xiang Yimeng.


    After sending Lin Yan off, Xiang Yimeng¡¯s entire body was shrouded in melancholy. She felt that after losing her memory, Lin Yan had become even more clingy to her. She was indeed a little reluctant to part with her.


    Lin Yan, who had boarded the plane, recalled life in Melbourne for the past few days. Two lines of tears involuntarily slid down her face. She felt that she had never experienced such a life in her original world, being cared for by her friends. She had been carefree since she was young¡­ and uncaring about anything.


    As she thought about it, she cried more and more loudly. In the end, she could not help but sob. Then she thought, ¡®If not, I won¡¯t leave. I¡¯ll stay in this world.¡¯


    Then, she wiped her tears and leaned on her seat to take a nap.


    Lin Yan got off the plane and sat in the car. She sent Sheng Yuxi a message about the arrival of the train. During these few days, when Lin Yan had nothing to do, she sent Sheng Yuxi messages. Although she did not receive a reply, Lin Yan also felt that she had worked hard.


    When she returned home, Lin Yan reported her message to her family. Then, she told Su Yue that she would go to Joy Entertainment to look for her tomorrow and go to a party with her.


    Su Yue received the message and replied. Tomorrow, she would go to her house to pick her up. Lin Yan did not think too much about it and thought that it would be convenient, so she replied.


    After she finished her report, Lin Yan felt that the world had quieted down again. It was so boring. She looked at her watch and it was almost 5 pm. She decided to brush up her appearance. She took a small gift box with her bag and drove to Shengshi Group.


    At this time, the 17th floor of Shengshi Group was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere. Sheng Yuxi looked at the design department¡¯s proposal and frowned.


    After the design department¡¯s director finished his trembling speech, he looked at Sheng Yuxi¡¯s expression and subconsciously felt that his criticism was inevitable. Then, he lowered his head and Shen Wu came to Sheng Yuxi¡¯s side and whispered something to Sheng Yuxi.


    Then, Sheng Yuxi said to the design department¡¯s director, ¡°the bonus for this month is canceled. Make a proposal within three days.¡± Then, he walked out of the meeting room.


    The head of the design department wiped the sweat off his forehead.


    When Sheng Yuxi returned to his office, he opened the door and saw Lin Yan walking around his office. She was curious and was touching stuff around his office.


    Sheng Yuxi felt that his actions were too strange. He did not know why, but when he heard Shen Wu say that Lin Yan was in the office, his impetuous heart immediately calmed down.


    However, he did not like this feeling. He always felt that his emotions were being influenced by others.


    When Lin Yan heard the sound of the door being pushed open, she turned her head away. She just realized that she was holding something and quickly withdrew her hand.


    She smiled and walked to Sheng Yuxi and said, ¡°I¡¯m back. Are you free tonight? Let¡¯s bested for dinner. The tofu soup there is very good.¡±.


    Sheng Yuxi looked at Lin Yan in confusion and said, ¡°do you have something to do?¡±


    Lin Yan pretended to have something to do and replied, ¡°yes, I have something very important to tell you. I can¡¯t explain it to you right now. I¡¯ll talk to you about it at dinner later.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi remembered that when he received Lin Yan¡¯s message this morning, he told Shen Wu to cancel his dinner party. Now, Sheng Yuxi had nothing to do at night. He nodded at Lin Yan and said, ¡°okay, maybe I have to deal with some documents.¡±.


    Lin Yan immediately replied, ¡°okay, it¡¯s okay. You go ahead.¡± After that, Lin Yan walked to the sofa and waited for Sheng Yuxi.

 Chapter 28

    Around 7 o¡¯clock, Sheng Yuxi walked to the sofa and said to Lin Yan, ¡°let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Yan picked up her satchel and said to Sheng Yuxi with a smile, ¡°okay, let¡¯s go.¡±


    On the way, the two of them did not speak. Shen Wu, who was driving in front, felt that the atmosphere was very stiff. Fortunately, the journey was not long. Soon, they arrived at the restaurant.


    Lin Yan and Sheng Yuxi entered the bested restaurant one after the other. The waiter said to them, ¡°hello, both of you. Do you have an appointment?¡±


    Lin Yan, who had forgotten to make an appointment, felt very awkward. Then, she pretended to be calm and said to the waiter, ¡°just find a quiet seat.¡±.


    Although Sheng Yuxi was born in a rich family, he did not have many requirements for his usual meals. Firstly, it was the family¡¯s teachings.


    Secondly, he did not like trouble, whether it was himself or others, except under special circumstances. Therefore, he did not refuse Lin Yan¡¯s excuse.


    Lin Yan, who was eating tofu soup, secretly glanced at Sheng Yuxi. She found that Sheng Yuxi always looked like a good tutor no matter where he was, and the way he ate made him look like a painting


    Lin Yan took out the gift box in her bag, stretched it in front of Sheng Yuxi, and said, ¡°this is the button I bought for you in Melbourne.¡±.


    Sheng Yuxi looked at Lin Yan with puzzlement and said, ¡°is this the thing that you can not tell me in the office?¡±


    Hearing Sheng Yuxi¡¯s words, Lin Yan gritted her teeth and said, ¡°yes, I think it suits your temperament very well, so I bought it.¡± Then, she did not care whether Sheng Yuxi took it or not, and put it beside Sheng Yuxi¡¯s hand.


    Sheng Yuxi lowered his head and cut the steak. Lin Yan saw that Sheng Yuxi did not refuse it, which meant that he accepted it, so she happily gave Sheng Yuxi a piece of her dessert.


    Sheng Yuxi saw the dessert on the plate, put down his fork, picked up his spoon, and took a bite. He felt that it was not bad, so he finished the dessert.


    Lin Yan looked at Sheng Yuxi¡¯s actions and did not know what he meant. She did not say anything, and her face was expressionless. She had no choice but to eat the steak.


    The two of them finished eating and looked at each other. Then Sheng Yuxi said, ¡°we¡¯re done eating, and the matter has been settled. Let¡¯s go.¡± Then he got up, took the gift box on the table, and was ready to leave.


    Lin Yan looked at Sheng Yuxi who was about to leave, picked up her bag, and followed Sheng Yuxi to the door.


    As soon as she reached the door, Lin Yan saw two familiar people. One was Lu Shaoyu, and the other was He Xue¡¯er.


    Lu Shaoyu and He Xue¡¯er obviously also saw Lin Yan and Sheng Yuxi. The former looked at Lin Yan with disgust, while the latter looked at Sheng Yuxi with confusion.


    Lin Yan felt that she might not have read the almanac before she went out today. She walked over, feeling great pressure. She stood next to Sheng Yuxi, grabbed his arm, and said, ¡°what a coincidence. You guys also came here to eat.¡±


    Lu Shaoyu obviously did not want to talk to her. In order to avoid embarrassment, He Xue¡¯er said, ¡°yes, you and Mr. Sheng also came to eat together.¡±


    Lin Yan looked at Sheng Yuxi with deep affection, then turned to He Xue¡¯er and said, ¡°yes, the food here is very good.¡±


    He Xue¡¯er looked at Sheng Yuxi and nodded. Then, Lu Shaoyu pulled He Xue¡¯er and said to Sheng Yuxi, ¡°Brother Yuxi, we still have something to do, so we¡¯ll leave first.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi looked at Lu Shaoyu and He Xue¡¯er and nodded. Lin Yan watched them leave and felt a burst of sweat on her back. She raised her head to look at Sheng Yuxi, who happened to look down at Lin Yan.


    Lin Yan smiled awkwardly. Then, she removed her hand from Sheng Yuxi¡¯s arm. Without saying anything, she walked to the restaurant¡¯s door. As she walked, she felt that she was really stupid today.


    Looking at Lin Yan¡¯s back, Sheng Yuxi felt a wave of frustration in his heart. He followed Lin Yan out.


    After Lin Yan left the door, she got into the car and said to Shen Wu in the car, ¡°Take me home.¡±.


    Lin Yan looked out of the window. The atmosphere in the car was even more depressing than when she came. Shen Wu sent Lin Yan home in fear.


    Shen Wu, who was driving, looked at his boss with a worried expression and said, ¡°boss, if a girl is angry, you can solve it by giving her a gift.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi heard Shen Wu¡¯s words and felt that since Lin Yan had already given him a gift, he really had to return the favor. No matter what the situation was, it was not good for a girl to spend money.


    Therefore, he said to Shen Wu, ¡°I remember that there is a pink diamond necklace for the auction held by the Yuan Sheng Group the day after tomorrow. You can bid for it and give it to Lin Yan.¡±


    Shen Wu suppressed his happiness and said, ¡°okay, boss.¡± After saying that, Shen Wu felt that the atmosphere in the car did not seem so depressing anymore, and the driving became more and more relaxed.

 Chapter 29

    When Lin Yan got up and saw the light drizzle outside, she felt that today was not a beautiful day. Even her mood was poor.


    Especially when she thought of seeing the female protagonist in the restaurant yesterday, she really did not know how she should deal with the female protagonist who had helped her in the past.


    Lin Yan sat on the sofa and felt very conflicted. Aunt Chen said, ¡°Miss, come and eat. Today, Aunt Chen made you curry chicken.¡± As a food lover, Lin Yan would never mistreat her stomach. She quickly started eating.


    After eating, Lin Yan saw that it was almost one o¡¯clock, so she decided to rest. When she woke up at three o¡¯clock, she would go to the restaurant with Su Yue.


    After getting up, Lin Yan opened the window to feel the weather today. She shivered and closed the window. She decided to wear a hooded sweater and a windbreaker today.


    After putting on the windbreaker, Lin Yan felt that she was dressed like a college student today. She put on a pair of boots, picked up a pair of sunglasses that she bought in Melbourne, and put them into her bag. She carried her bag and prepared to wait for Su Yue in the living room downstairs.


    Around four or five o¡¯clock, Su Yue walked into the Lin family¡¯s house. She smiled and said to Lin Yan, ¡°Yanyan, are you ready? If you are, let¡¯s go.¡±


    Lin Yan picked up her bag and replied to Su Yue, ¡°alright, let¡¯s go.¡±


    The two of them got into the car one after another. After getting into the car, Lin Yan took out a gift box and said to Su Yue, ¡°Su Su, I bought you a pair of sunglasses. They¡¯re very nice. Try them on.¡±


    Su Yue took the gift box, opened the sunglasses and said to Lin Yan, ¡°Yanyan, thank you.¡±


    Lin Yan looked at Su Yue¡¯s sincere expression and said, ¡°you¡¯re welcome. Try them on. Let me see if I chose well.¡±


    Su Yue smiled as she took out her sunglasses and put them on her eyes. Lin Yan looked at Su Yue and said, ¡°tsk tsk, I didn¡¯t expect my fashion sense to be so good.¡±


    Su Yue took off her eyes and smiled as she said to Lin Yan, ¡°that¡¯s right. Yanyan¡¯s taste is really good.¡± Lin Yan continued, ¡°your taste is a little better. You have to be pretty to be able to ride on it.¡±


    Su Yue smiled at Lin Yan and said, ¡°you¡¯re the one with the sweet mouth.¡±


    The two of them talked about Lin Yan in Melbourne. Basically, it was all about Lin Yan talking about what was fun and what she wanted to see in the future.


    As they talked, the two of them arrived at the restaurant. Su Yue brought Lin Yan in and found the director, screenwriter, and many other people.


    Su Yue said to the director, ¡°director Xin, Hello. Long time no see. This is our Lin Yan from Joy Entertainment.¡±


    Then, Lin Yan smiled and said to the director, ¡°Hello, director.¡±


    The director smiled and replied to Su Yue, ¡°Su Yue, the people under you now are not to be underestimated. Look at how beautiful they are.¡± Then, he said to Lin Yan, ¡°hello, do your best.¡±


    The director echoed from the side, ¡°everyone, let¡¯s sit down and talk.¡±


    Lin Yan, who had sat down, scanned the room. Seeing that the female lead had not arrived yet, she felt that the atmosphere was relaxed and started chatting with the director and the rest.


    After talking for a while, an energetic lady with tied hair brought He Xue¡¯er over. As they walked, she smiled and said, ¡°director Xin, I¡¯m really sorry for the delay.¡±


    Following that, the energetic lady brought He Xue¡¯er to chat with the director. He Xue¡¯er could feel that someone was looking at her and looked in Lin Yan¡¯s direction.


    Lin Yan, who was mentally prepared, smiled back. He Xue¡¯er was very puzzled by Lin Yan¡¯s expression, but thinking about working together in the future, He Xue¡¯er smiled back at her. Then, the two of them turned their heads away in tacit understanding.


    Not long after He Xue¡¯er arrived, the male lead also arrived. As the male lead, Xi Yuan could be considered a popular young man.


    Lin Yan saw Xi Yuan and asked Su Yue in a low voice, ¡°Su Su, isn¡¯t Xi Yuan under you?¡±


    Su Yue said to Lin Yan, ¡°now that I¡¯m taking you, I feel that I might not be able to do what I want. So, Xi Yuan is under another person¡¯s care now. I¡¯m not responsible for him anymore.¡±


    Lin Yan nodded. Coincidentally, Xi Yuan was looking at Su Yue. Lin Yan raised her head and met Xi Yuan¡¯s gaze. Lin Yan returned a smile.


    Xi Yuan was stunned by Lin Yan when he saw her. He looked at Lin Yan in a daze. Then, Xi Yuan smiled awkwardly at Lin Yan in response to his rudeness.


    At the dining table, the director let them get to know each other. Lin Yan smiled at He Xue¡¯er and said, ¡°please advise me in the future.¡± He Xue¡¯er also smiled and replied, ¡°yes, please advise me as well.¡±


    Lin Yan felt that she and the female lead should be one step closer. Thinking that the day that she could return should not be too far away, she began to eat briskly at the dinner table.


    Su Yue, who was beside her, saw Lin Yan eating like this. She lowered her head and said to her, ¡°Yanyan, don¡¯t eat so much. You¡¯ll get fat. You have to take care of your figure.¡±


    Lin Yan blinked her eyes and said to Su Yue, ¡°Su Su, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t get fat from eating.¡±.


    Su Yue was a little surprised to hear this, but she did not stop Lin Yan from eating. So Lin Yan ate her dinner happily.

 Chapter 30

    After dinner, Lin Yan felt that all her worries about the weather had been swept away. She thought that she had yet to give Sheng Yuxi a sense of presence today.


    She picked up her phone and found Sheng Yuxi¡¯s chatbox. She took a picture of herself on her phone. After feeling that she looked good, she sent it to Sheng Yuxi.


    Sheng Yuxi was still working overtime in the office. When he heard the vibration of his phone, he picked it up and saw Lin Yan¡¯s photo. He got up and walked to the window. He felt that all his fatigue had been swept away. It was time to go home.


    Therefore, he picked up his phone and walked out of the office. He said to Shen Wu, ¡°let¡¯s get off work.¡±


    Shen Wu, who was already prepared to stay up all night, felt incredulous when he heard this message. He was stunned for a moment before he immediately reacted. He nodded and said, ¡°okay, boss.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi, who was sitting in the car, said to Shen Wu, ¡°you don¡¯t have to go to the auction tomorrow. Is the Bentley that was sent to maintenance the last time ready yet?¡±


    Shen Wu suppressed his doubts and said to Sheng Yuxi, ¡°it¡¯s well maintained. It¡¯s already in Autumn Goose¡¯s garage.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi pressed the corner of his eyes and said, ¡°you don¡¯t have to pick me up tomorrow morning. The morning meeting will be postponed to the evening.¡± Shen wu replied, ¡°okay, boss.¡±


    Lin Yan, who had returned home, looked at the chatbox that had no reply as usual and questioned, ¡°is my charm not enough? Why don¡¯t you reply to me?¡±


    Then, she cut off her thoughts and put on a face mask to prepare for a beautiful sleep.


    The next day, Lin Yan was woken up by a series of ringtones. Lin Yan picked up the phone in a daze and said, ¡°hello, who are you? What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    On the other side of the phone, Sheng Yuxi heard Lin Yan¡¯s grandmother¡¯s voice and felt as if his heart had been scratched. He replied, ¡°I¡¯m Sheng Yuxi. I¡¯m at your door now. Come out for a while.¡±


    Lin Yan heard the voice coming from the phone and was so scared that she hurriedly got up from the bed. She said, ¡°Sheng Yuxi, what are you doing at my house?¡±


    Sheng Yuxi teased, ¡°I¡¯m here to meet your parents. Aren¡¯t you coming out?¡±


    Lin Yan automatically ignored his words. She said, ¡°wait outside. I¡¯ll come out after I tidy up.¡± Then, she hung up the phone decisively.


    Women¡¯s affairs were always complicated. The naturally beautiful Lin Yan spent 30 minutes before she was standing beside Sheng Yuxi¡¯s car and knocked on the window.


    Sheng Yuxi opened the window and took a gift box. He said to Lin Yan, ¡°this is a gift in return.¡± Lin Yan did not know what he meant. She felt that her brain was still groggy. However, her hand obediently took the gift box.


    Sheng Yuxi looked at Lin Yan as she took the gift and said, ¡°I still have something to do today. I¡¯ll see your parents another day.¡± Then, he drove his Bentley and rode off into the distance.


    Lin Yan was still standing there in a daze as she watched the black Bentley slowly disappear from her sight. She tugged at her clothes and then ran into her house with the gift box.


    Lin Yan returned home and did not stop to go straight to her room. Aunt Chen looked at the young miss who had been in a hurry the whole morning. She did not know what she was busy with. Why did she come back? She scratched her head and turned around to return to her position ¡ª the kitchen.


    When Lin Yan went upstairs, she opened the gift box and found a white lily necklace inside. It was really lifelike. Lin Yan looked at the lily necklace in a daze and picked it up to face the light. She felt that it was exquisite.


    Then, Lin Yan went to the cloakroom to change her clothes. She picked up the necklace and put it on. She decided to wear this to thank the person who gave her the gift. However, before that, she still needed to do something more important.


    After dressing herself up, Lin Yan drove her white Mercedes to So Plaza. She thought that she was going to look for a better place to open her own milk tea shop.


    After walking around for a while, Lin Yan found a store that was about to be transferred. Lin Yan got out of the car and walked in. She found that it was an antique library.


    Lin Yan walked around inside and bought a few books on the way. She said to the boss, ¡°looking at the sign at your door, you want to transfer the store? I happen to be interested in opening a store. Let¡¯s talk about it.¡±


    The boss looked at Lin Yan, who was dressed to impress. He felt that there was a chance, so he talked to her.


    Finally, Lin Yan said to the boss, ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to draw up the contract tomorrow. When the time comes, I¡¯ll look for you to sign it. Happy working with you.¡± The boss smiled and replied, ¡°happy working with you.¡±


    Lin Yan, who had found a shop, sent a message to mother Lin asking for help. She said, ¡°Mom, I need a legal document for a transfer of a shop. Can you ask the lawyer in your studio to help draft one? I need it tomorrow.¡±


    After sending the message, Lin Yan did not wait for her mother¡¯s reply. She put away her phone and went to the milk tea shop to order two cups of milk tea. Then, she drove her Benz to Shengshi Group.

 Chapter 31

    Lin Yan walked to Sheng Yuxi¡¯s desk and put the milk tea on it. When Sheng Yuxi saw the milk tea, he looked up at Lin Yan and said, ¡°what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Lin Yan bent down and turned her neck to Sheng Yuxi, saying, ¡°does it look good?¡±


    Sheng Yuxi took a look and said, ¡°it¡¯s not bad.¡± Then, he picked up the milk tea on the table and drank it calmly.


    Lin Yan looked at the man who was lying and said, ¡°your cufflinks are also not bad.¡± Sheng Yuxi felt as if he was at a loss for words. He mumbled, ¡°when will you join the shooting crew?¡±


    Lin Yan did not hear what she wanted to hear and was diverted by Sheng Yuxi. Feeling bored, she said, ¡°if nothing goes wrong, I will join the crew the day after tomorrow. What¡¯s wrong? Can¡¯t bear that I¡¯m leaving?¡±


    Lin Yan, who did not expect Sheng Yuxi¡¯s answer, said, ¡°don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll still text you while I¡¯m with the crew every day. Don¡¯t miss me too much.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi did not refute her. He leaned against the office chair and drank milk tea.


    Lin Yan looked at Sheng Yuxi and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you, the President of a group, would like to eat sweet things. The scariest thing is that you like to drink milk tea.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°there are many flavors in the world. The most common ones are sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy. I¡¯m just a normal person.¡±


    Lin Yan listened to Sheng Yuxi¡¯s words and felt that it was not unreasonable. Life was short. Everyone had the right to pursue what they liked. There was no need to make themselves suffer for meaningless positions.


    Lin Yan then said, ¡°those who like to eat sweet things are noncommittal, but what is it like for you to like drinking milk tea? As far as I know, boys generally don¡¯t like to drink milk tea.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi did not refuse Lin Yan¡¯s question and said, ¡°what a coincidence. The first time I drank milk tea in my life was at this moment.¡±


    Lin Yan suddenly remembered that when she bought milk tea in the past, she had also bought milk tea for Sheng Yuxi, so she asked, ¡°I also bought milk tea for you in the past. Then, where did all the milk tea go?¡±


    Sheng Yuxi looked at Lin Yan¡¯s face and then looked at the trash can, and the answer was obvious.


    As a milk tea lover, Lin Yan felt very angry at Sheng Yuxi¡¯s waste of milk tea. She said, ¡°if you don¡¯t want to drink it, why don¡¯t you refuse? It¡¯s such a shame to waste it.¡± Then, she glared at Sheng Yuxi angrily.


    Sheng Yuxi answered casually, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to taste so good.¡±


    Lin Yan was stunned when she heard Sheng Yuxi¡¯s reply. She said to Sheng Yuxi, ¡°you can¡¯t waste the milk tea that I buy in the future. It¡¯s all very delicious.¡±


    ¡°Oh right, I drank very good milk tea in Melbourne. There are also delicious desserts at the shop. I¡¯m planning to open a shop in the country. It should be open in about a week.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble Director Sheng to appraise it. You can bring along your friends. I¡¯ve thought it through. If you come, I¡¯ll give you milk tea for free.¡±


    ¡°However, I have a small request. Am I not going to film soon? I might not be able to set up the milk tea shop in time, so I¡¯ll have to trouble Director Sheng to help fix it up.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi looked at Lin Yan, who looked like he should have agreed as a matter of course, and said, ¡°as long as it¡¯s always free, I think I can help you.¡±


    Lin Yan knew that Sheng Yuxi¡¯s company was not related to the renovation at all, but he still agreed to her request. Lin Yan felt that Sheng Yuxi was a good friend indeed.


    So, she smiled sincerely at Sheng Yuxi and said, ¡°thank you, Sheng Yuxi. Don¡¯t worry, I will always give you free food and drink. I will also invite you for a tasting of new products. You can also bring your friend with you.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi looked at the smiling Lin Yan and felt that Lin Yan was still cute in nature. She was not entirely arrogant.


    After saying that, Lin Yan felt that her trip to thank Sheng Yuxi was quite successful. After saying goodbye to Sheng Yuxi, she walked out of Shengshi Group.


    Lin Yan got in the car and called her best friend in Melbourne. She said, ¡°Meng, the shop for milk tea has been found. How is it going on your side?¡±


    Xiang Yimeng replied, ¡°we are almost done with the discussions. Tomorrow, I will sign a contract and he will send the goods to the source. In two days, he will send a master to train the new employees over there. You should look for an employee too.¡±


    Lin Yan thought that she could be an employee. She would enjoy working on what she loved to drink. So she told Xiang Yimeng her thoughts. Xiang Yimeng said, ¡°that¡¯s not very realistic in the early stages. You can do that in the later stages. You can hire employees first.¡±


    Lin Yan felt that what Xiang Yimeng said made sense. The two of them discussed other matters and hung up.


    After hanging up the phone, Lin Yan drove back home and found that her mother was at home. So she told her mother about her thoughts. Mother Lin was more liberal with her children, so she agreed to give her daughter the idea of opening a shop.

 Chapter 32

    Once a person has a goal to strive for, he will feel full of vitality, just like the current Lin Yan.


    She got up at 7 am. Thinking that today was a day of physical labor, Lin Yan decided to wear casual clothes. When she arrived at the entrance of the shop yesterday, she saw that there were already people lining up there. She lamented, ¡°as long as the salary is high, nothing is impossible.¡±


    Then, Lin Yan walked over and sent a resume form to them one by one, asking them to fill in their own information. She went into the inner room with the shop owner and signed the contract.


    After signing the contract, the boss said, ¡°from now on, it will be your world. I wish you a prosperous business in the future.¡±


    Lin Yan felt very happy at the boss¡¯s words, but she also said modestly, ¡°come here to drink milk tea. Just think of it as my treat.¡±


    After exchanging greetings, Lin Yan walked out and said to the people who were queuing outside, ¡°I hope that those who came here today are people who really want to work together with our shop. We will fight for this business together. The others are not welcome here. The door is at the back. Take Care.¡±


    Looking at the young faces, Lin Yan continued, ¡°Next, put the forms on this table. We will conduct the interview with whoever is selected inside.¡±


    The interviewees did not expect that someone of their age would conduct the interview with them. Although they had doubts in their hearts, they did not show it.


    Therefore, a corner of So Plaza appeared. People kept carrying books out of the room, and people kept going in and out of the room. There were also people who came out empty-handed. Their faces were either happy or depressed.


    It was nearly two o¡¯clock in the afternoon. Lin Yan finally finished the interviews. Then, she recorded all the people she wanted to interview and prepared to talk to Xiang Yimeng about the selection.


    ¡®Coo Coo Coo¡­¡¯


    A sound came from the quiet inner room. Lin Yan then pressed her stomach and thought that she had not had lunch yet, so she planned to buy lunch.


    On the way to buy lunch, Lin Yan remembered that she regarded Sheng Yuxi as a friend of the milk tea shop. If she did not have time later, she needed him to come and see her.


    So, she called Sheng Yuxi and asked, ¡°Sheng Yuxi, have you had lunch?¡±


    Sheng Yuxi thought that he had just finished processing the documents and had not eaten yet, so he replied, ¡°not yet. What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Lin Yan¡¯s tone was slightly excited as she said, ¡°okay, wait for me. I bought some food from Fu Ji. I¡¯ll come over to eat with you later. I just happen to have something to ask you.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi pressed his eyebrows and said, ¡°okay, I¡¯m in the office.¡± Hearing Sheng Yuxi¡¯s reply, Lin Yan immediately hung up and ordered another meal.


    Fortunately, it was in the afternoon, so Fu Ji was not crowded. Soon, the ordered meal was packed, and Lin Yan carried it to Shengshi.


    When they arrived at Sheng Yuxi¡¯s office, Lin Yan shouted to Sheng Yuxi, ¡°the meal is here. Let¡¯s eat. Time is tight. Let¡¯s talk while we eat.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi walked to the sofa. Lin Yan handed him a pair of chopsticks and said to Sheng Yuxi, ¡°I ordered dishes and rice. I¡¯m really tired today, so I ordered dishes that I liked. Are you okay with them?¡±


    Sheng Yuxi looked at the travel-worn lin Yan and said, ¡°I can eat them.¡± He picked up his chopsticks and slowly ate.


    The two of them ate the dishes in the same takeaway box. Sheng Yuxi felt that his mysophobia might not have flared up in front of Lin Yan, so he did not think too much about it. He felt that the dishes were quite delicious with this way of eating.


    After two mouthfuls, Lin Yan took out the information of the candidates in her bag and put it on Sheng Yuxi¡¯s side. ¡°Look at these people. They are all the milk tea brewers that I have selected.¡±


    After introducing the first one, she felt a little tired, so she went to Sheng Yuxi¡¯s side and sat on the sofa.


    Sheng Yuxi was stunned when he saw Lin Yan¡¯s action. Then he pretended to be calm and took off his suit jacket to participate in Lin Yan¡¯s discussion.


    The two of them discussed and ate. In the end, they decided on five milk tea brewers and three receptionists.


    Lin Yan, who felt that she had already decided on her recruitment for today, said goodbye to Sheng Yuxi in a fluster. ¡°I still have to go to the renovation company to take a look. The shop is under renovation and time is tight. I¡¯ll treat you to a meal some other day to thank you.¡±


    Without waiting for Sheng Yuxi¡¯s reply, she turned around and walked out of the office.


    Sheng Yuxi thought that Lin Yan would not be busier than the President of his company. Then, he gave Shen Wu a call and said, ¡°go check on which renovation company Lin yan has approached. If you know the companies, send them a greeting.¡±


    When Shen Wu heard Sheng Yuxi¡¯s words, he felt that the couple would eventually be together. Hence, he happily listened to Sheng Yuxi¡¯s words and handed the task at hand to Shen Qi. He would handle Lin Yan¡¯s matters.

 Chapter 33

    Lin Yan left Shengshi Group and drove for a while before arriving at the renovation company. When she entered, she found that the items inside were arranged in a unique style, and the color of the walls was also very attractive, and she liked it very much.


    She said to the front desk staff, ¡°I want to find a designer to renovate a milk tea shop.¡±


    The front desk clerk heard Lin Yan¡¯s words and immediately said politely, ¡°yes, ma¡¯am. Please wait a moment. I¡¯ll contact the person in charge of the renovation.¡±


    After sitting on the sofa for a while, a man in a sweater walked up to Lin Yan and said, ¡°hello, ma¡¯am. I¡¯m a member of the design department, specialized in designing shops.¡±


    Lin Yan replied, ¡°hello.¡± Then, the man said, ¡°ma¡¯am, if you don¡¯t mind, we can talk in my office.¡±


    Lin Yan nodded and followed the man to the office. On the way, she looked at the renovation and felt that her decision to come to this renovation company was very right.


    When Shen Wu arrived at the renovation company, he knew through the front desk that Lin Yan had already communicated with the designer. So, he called Sheng Yuxi and reported, ¡°boss, Miss Lin is in a renovation company that our company invested in. She¡¯s here to discuss with the designer.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi listened to Shen Wu¡¯s words and replied, ¡°got it. You go and explain it to the boss inside.¡± Then, he hung up the phone.


    Shen Wu immediately made a call. Not long after, a fat middle-aged man came. He smiled and said to Shen Wu, ¡°Assistant Shen, it¡¯s a pleasure to have you here. Sorry for not welcoming you earlier.¡±


    Shen Wu was not surprised by such compliments. He said directly, ¡°if a Ms. Lin Yan places a renovation order here later, you must give her the best discount and guarantee the quality of her work. Complete it as soon as possible.¡±


    When the fat man heard Shen Wu¡¯s words, he knew that it was an order from the higher-ups. He put on a face and accepted it, inviting Shen Wu to sit in the office.


    Shen Wu thought that the matter had not been settled yet, so he followed the man into the office.


    Lin Yan chatted with the designer for a while and felt that the designer¡¯s design for the shop was quite good. She felt that she could sign the contract with the designer.


    Lin Yan looked at the contract and felt that there was no problem, so she wanted to sign it. In the end, a woman came in and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, ma¡¯am, there are some problems with the contract just now. This is the new one.¡±


    Lin Yan looked at the new contract. She saw the new terms and felt very puzzled. She looked at the woman in front of her and said, ¡°is your company sure that this is not a mistake?¡±


    The woman¡¯s gentle voice said, ¡°I¡¯m sure, ma¡¯am. Our company just launched today¡¯s 100th discount. It just so happens that you are the 100th person to sign the contract today.¡±


    When Lin Yan heard the lady¡¯s reply, her face was still full of doubt, but she thought to herself, ¡°we can¡¯t rule out this kind of activity.¡±


    So she asked the lady, ¡°what do you need me to do for this kind of activity?¡±


    The lady replied, ¡°Ms. Lin, we just need to take a photo of you and the contract together. We might need it for some publicity later.¡±


    Lin Yan felt that she would be in the entertainment industry in the future. If this construction company used this as publicity, it would not have a good impact on her later on. She said to the lady in front of her, ¡°there¡¯s no need for that. I¡¯ll give up this discount.¡±


    The lady felt that she had made things more complicated, so she said to Lin Yan, ¡°Ms. Lin, it¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t accept our promotional activities. After you finish renovating your shop, we can go to your shop and take a few photos instead.¡±


    Lin Yan thought this was good. Not only did she save a lot of money on renovations, but she also did free publicity for her shop, so she readily agreed.


    In order to be cautious, Lin Yan carefully looked at the contract again. She felt that there was indeed no problem, so she nodded to her and signed the contract with a smile.


    Lin Yan walked to the underground parking lot and sat in her driver¡¯s seat. She thought that as a vicious supporting actress, could it be that she did not block the love path of the male and female protagonist, so the plot had changed? Was this stroke of good luck a reward for her?


    As she thought about it, Lin Yan saw a familiar figure in front of her. A fat man walked beside Shen Wu with a flattering expression on his face.


    Lin Yan looked at Shen Wu¡¯s face thoughtfully. When they were about to reach her car, Lin Yan bent down so that she would not be discovered by them.


    She heard Shen Wu say, ¡°alright, you don¡¯t have to send me off. You did well today. As long as you decorate Miss Lin¡¯s shop well, I will put in a few good words for you.¡±


    The fat man then said, ¡°Assistant Shen, take care. Come often when you have time.¡±


    Lin Yan heard the sound of a car passing by and slowly got up. She felt that when she had time, she must treat Sheng Yuxi to a good meal. The first cup of milk tea in the shop will be given to him.

 Chapter 34

    In fact, the greetings sent on WeChat were not scary. What was scary was that the habitual greetings suddenly disappeared one day.


    Lin Yan drove in the dark night of A City. she felt that although she was tired today, she had gained a lot. If the milk tea shop became popular in the future, she can proudly say she made an impact in this world.


    Besides that, Lin Yan thought, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the cold and aloof second male character described in the book would be so loyal. Even if the two of them cancel their contracts in the future, they can still be friends.¡±


    After eating out, Lin Yan returned home and found that everyone had already fallen asleep. So she cleaned up and went to sleep.


    However, Sheng Yuxi, who was far away in Autumn Goose, tossed and turned in bed. He felt a little frustrated. He had helped Lin Yan, so why did she not send him a message today.


    After thinking for a while, he picked up his phone and hesitated for a while. Then, he sent a message to Lin Yan¡¯s WeChat chatbox, ¡°have you decided on the renovation of the milk tea shop today? When can I drink milk tea?¡±


    Then, Sheng Yuxi, who did not receive Lin Yan¡¯s reply, felt that his behavior was too weird. He might have gotten sick. He shook his head, covered himself with the quilt, and turned over to sleep. However, the night was long¡­


    Lin Yan woke up naturally the next day. She stretched her body and was ready to get out of bed. After tidying herself up, she picked up her phone and found Sheng Yuxi¡¯s message.


    She casually replied, ¡°There are about three more days. Don¡¯t be anxious.¡± After sending the message, Lin Yan thought that Sheng Yuxi had helped her yesterday, so she sent another message. ¡°When the milk tea is on the market. I will let you be the first to evaluate it.¡±


    Sheng Yuxi, who was far away at Shengshi Group¡¯s office, saw Lin Yan¡¯s message. He felt that his stomach was a little hungry from not having breakfast, so he asked Shen Wu to order breakfast for himself.


    After Lin Yan sent the message, she called Su Yue. Lin Yan said, ¡°Su Su, did the director inform you when he¡¯s going to the theater?¡±


    Su Yue, who was on the other side of the phone, replied, ¡°Xi Yuan¡¯s schedule is a little conflicted, so he¡¯ll be with the production team in about a week. I thought I¡¯d inform you today, but you called first.¡±


    Lin Yan replied, ¡°okay.¡± Then she made small talk and hung up the phone.


    Lin Yan felt that Xi Yuan¡¯s schedule was conflicted, so she had time to prepare for the milk tea shop. Thus, she happily went downstairs to eat.


    After eating, Lin Yan called her best friend in Melbourne and said, ¡°Meng, I have already hired some people yesterday. I have also found a renovation company. It will be finished in about two to three days. Do you think the equipment should be shipped over?¡±


    Xiang Yimeng said to Lin Yan, ¡°okay, I¡¯ll contact them now and ask their trainer to go to City A as well.¡±


    Lin Yan felt that she needed to rely on this trainer more after opening the shop, so she agreed without hesitation. Then, she reported to Yimeng about the fact that she would be joining the production team in a week. After giving her instructions, the two of them hung up the phone one after another.


    After Lin Yan hung up the phone, Lin Yan went online to search for information. She found that there were still quite a lot of things that she needed to prepare for opening the shop, so she found a notebook to record them down and prepare to complete them one by one.


    Two days later, Lin Yan was informed by the renovation company that the shop had been renovated and asked her to go take a look. Thus, Lin Yan drove to So Plaza. When she saw her own shop, she felt as if she was looking at her own child. It felt very gratifying.


    After chatting with the renovation company, Lin Yan called the people in the warehouse to bring the equipment over. She also called the employees to go to work.


    Lin Yan, who had everything ready, waited for the arrival of the milk tea master in the evening. In the evening, Lin Yan successfully picked up the milk tea master at the A City airport. When she saw that there were three of them, she felt that the brand she chose was really good. At the very least, they were serious and responsible.


    After greeting the masters, Lin Yan found out that one of the three was a milk tea mixer, one was a dessert maker, and one was a service waiter.


    Lin Yan once again felt that Sheng Yuxi¡¯s considerations were correct. Originally, Lin Yan had recruited employees who were experienced in milk tea. Sheng Yuxi also said that she should also expect the company to ask her to sell desserts at the same time, and she still needed to find some dessert makers.


    Lin Yan, who had opened a shop for the first time, did not refute Sheng Yuxi. She felt that he was quite visionary, so she arranged for five milk tea mixers. Two of them had the certificate of desserts master.


    Lin Yan saw that it was already late, so she said to the masters, ¡°when do we start the training?¡±?


    The masters unanimously decided to start the training for milk tea and desserts tomorrow morning. Lin Yan had the same intention, so she happily chatted with the masters. Then, she led the masters out of the restaurant and led them to the arranged hotel.

 Chapter 35

    The next morning, Lin Yan got up early and drove to the hotel to pick up the masters to go to the shop. She thought that on the way, she could learn a little from the masters.


    When she arrived at the shop, Lin Yan saw that the employees had already cleaned up and stood in front of the machines and studying them. Lin Yan smiled and said to them, ¡°these are the three masters from Melbourne. This is the milk tea master, the dessert master in the middle, and the waitress on the far left.¡±


    ¡°According to your positions, introduce yourselves to the masters.¡±.


    The colorful milk tea shop started to get busy one after another. Lin Yan also followed the milk tea mixer to learn the configuration of the milk tea.


    Seeing that Lin Yan was also studying seriously, the employees became more serious. Time always flew when they were focused on one thing.


    Soon, it was noon. Lin Yan said to everyone, ¡°you guys take a rest. The takeout I ordered will be here soon. Thank you for your hard work today.¡±


    The employees did not expect their boss to order takeout for them. After thanking her, they felt that it would be very pleasant to get along with this boss, who was about the same age as them. At the very least, the boss would not mistreat them.


    The afternoon of the milk tea shop turned into a more lively party. Everyone got to know each other better. Time flew by. After lunch, they started another day of study.


    At about seven o¡¯clock in the evening, Lin Yan felt that she had studied long enough today, so she wanted the employees to go back and rest. The teachers were in a hurry, so they said that they would teach for another two hours.


    Lin Yan saw that the employees did not refuse, so she nodded and said, ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble the teachers today. Thank you for your hard work, students. After the day after tomorrow, we¡¯ll go for a picnic together.¡±


    The teachers from Melbourne had never had a barbecue in China, so they nodded repeatedly. After spending a day with Lin Yan, the employees who felt that Lin Yan was very friendly immediately shouted, ¡°beer, beer.¡±


    Lin Yan, who was feeling a little guilty at first, felt that such an atmosphere was really good. She must work hard to keep the shop running in the future.


    After three days of training, Lin Yan was tired and happy. Every day was very fulfilling. At the end of the third day of training, Lin Yan fulfilled her promise and said to everyone, ¡°let¡¯s go to play and have a picnic. I¡¯ve already ordered the things.¡±


    Everyone left excitedly. Lin Yan thought that she was going to the theater too. She would be absent from the shop, and she had to ask Sheng Yuxi to take care of it. However, when she thought that Sheng Yuxi was usually very busy, she felt embarrassed.


    Lin Yan sat in the car and thought about this matter. Then, Lin Yan heard one of her employees say that her sister was going to take the college entrance exam this year.


    Lin Yan suddenly thought of Sheng Yuxi¡¯s sister, Sheng Xinqin. She was a true foodie. In the book, the author described that Sheng Xinqin¡¯s love affair with Yan Youlou seemed to start with eating.


    Lin Yan took out her phone and called Sheng Yuxi. The call was quickly connected. Lin Yan said, ¡°Sheng Yuxi, our shop is having a dinner party today. There are also teachers from Melbourne. Do you want to join us?¡±


    Sheng Yuxi thought that he might often go to the shop in the future. It would be good for him to go and get familiar with the staff, so he replied, ¡°sure, where are you guys going?¡±


    Lin Yan said, ¡°we¡¯re on the way to Play now. You can bring your sister along. I have something to talk to her about.¡±.


    Sheng Yuxi thought that he had paid too little attention to Sheng Xinqin when Lin Yan invited his sister to go with her. He did not know that she and Lin Yan were still communicating.


    However, since Lin Yan had already invited him, he could not refuse, so he replied, ¡°I¡¯ll ask her. I¡¯ll get back to you later.¡± Then, he hung up the phone and called Sheng Xinqin.


    Sheng Xinqin, who was eating grapes on the sofa, received a call from her brother. She jumped, but she could not help but accept the call.


    ¡°Sheng Xinqin, you¡¯re going out Play for dinner now,¡± said the voice on the other end of the phone. Then, a beeping sound came from the other end.


    Sheng Xinqin felt very strange about her brother¡¯s operation, but there was no reason to refuse. Reluctantly, she went upstairs to change her clothes and drove out of the Sheng family home.


    After Sheng Yuxi called Sheng Xinqin, he sent a message to Lin Yan, [Sheng Xinqin will be there soon. I¡¯m leaving from the company now.]


    After sending the message, Sheng Yuxi felt that there was no need to tell Lin Yan about his itinerary and wanted to withdraw the message.


    However, when he saw that the other party was typing, he felt that if he were to withdraw the message, it would be a little embarrassing. He gave up on the idea of withdrawing the message and called Shen Wu to drive.


    When he saw that Lin Yan had replied with a smiling emoji, he turned off his phone and put it back into his pocket.

 Chapter 36

    Soon, Lin Yan, the masters, and the employees arrived at Play. What they saw was a large grassland, but there were small round pavilions on the grassland. Looking Up, they could hear laughter coming from many round pavilions.


    Lin Yan spoke to the service staff about the round pavilions that they had booked. The service staff led Lin Yan and the others to a quiet but not remote round pavilion.


    When Lin Yan and the others got closer, they saw that it was a dome-shaped building. The area inside was very large, and it was also a place for barbecuing. Smoke-free equipment was also ready here. It was very environmentally friendly, and there were no stools inside, there were simple yet exquisite cushions spread on the ground.


    When Lin Yan saw this, she felt very comfortable. Thinking that she was going to eat skewers and drink beer, her whole body was boiling with excitement. She hurriedly called for everyone to sit on the floor.


    The waiter looked at Lin Yan who was already sitting. He bent down and asked, ¡°hello, ma¡¯am. Do you want the food to be served now?¡±


    Lin Yan said to the waiter, ¡°wait a moment. There are still two guests. You can serve some tea first.¡± Everyone was very puzzled, but thinking that it might be Lin Yan¡¯s friend, they did not ask any more questions.


    When the waiter heard Lin Yan¡¯s reply, he answered yes and immediately went out to prepare tea.


    When Sheng Yuxi arrived at play, he called Sheng Xinqin and asked her where she was. Sheng Xinqin said, ¡°I¡¯ll be there in five minutes.¡± So, Sheng Yuxi said to Sheng Xinqin, ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you in the car. Come and find me here when you arrive.¡±


    After hanging up the phone, Sheng Yuxi called Lin Yan again and asked for her specific location. After Lin Yan replied, she called the waiter and asked them to serve the dishes.


    The dishes were almost ready. Sheng Yuxi, who was wearing a suit and a black coat, and Sheng Xinqin, who was wearing a purple one-piece dress and a windbreaker, stood inside the round pavilion.


    Sheng Xinqin easily found Lin Yan among the crowd and knew why her brother asked her to come. It must have been arranged by her sister-in-law.


    Ever since Sheng Xinqin went to Shengshi Group to look for her brother, she saw a cup of milk tea on the coffee table and knew that it was not prepared for her by her brother. It was brought up by a young lady.


    Thinking of ordering this cup of milk tea for her brother, her brother looked at her with a ¡®don¡¯t you dare¡¯ expression and knew that this young lady was the future sister-in-law.


    Thus, after she finished talking to her brother, she went to Shen Qi¡¯s seat and started questioning him. In the end, Shen Qi could not resist the carrot and stick tactics and confessed honestly.


    After receiving the information, Sheng Xinqin thought of herself and wanted to meet her future sister-in-law by chance. However, before she could meet her, she received the information that she had gone abroad. She was sad for a long time.


    She did not expect that her sister-in-law would invite her to the gathering today. Sheng Xinqin happily walked to Lin Yan¡¯s side and ignored her brother.


    After Lin Yan saw Sheng Xinqin, she stood up and said to Sheng Xinqin with a smile, ¡°Miss Sheng, as expected, I heard a lot about you. Miss Sheng is really beautiful. Nice to meet you.¡±


    Sheng Xinqin heard Lin Yan praise her and turned to look at her brother. Her already happy heart was even happier.


    With a big smile, she said, ¡°Sister Lin, you¡¯re the one who¡¯s really beautiful. Don¡¯t call me Miss Sheng. Just call me Xiao Xin. That¡¯s what my brother calls me when he¡¯s happy. Just call me that too.¡±


    Lin Yan replied, ¡°okay, then I¡¯ll call you Xin Xin. It sounds so nice. Then don¡¯t call me Sister Lin. Just call me Lin Lin. It sounds friendly.¡±


    When the person next to Lin Yan saw the conversation between the two of them, he automatically pulled out a seat so that Sheng Xinqin could sit next to Lin Yan. When Lin Yan saw the seat, she pulled Sheng Xinqin over and sat down.


    Sheng Xinqin sat down. When she saw that her brother had already been arranged to sit across from her, she looked at her brother arrogantly. She happily sat next to Lin Yan.


    When the two of them sat down, even though they both looked extraordinary, their arrival did not affect the lively atmosphere. Soon, Sheng Xinqin started eating skewers and drinking beer under Lin Yan¡¯s lead. She did not care about Sheng Yuxi¡¯s dark expression at all.


    When she saw that everyone was almost done eating, Lin Yan said to everyone, ¡°tomorrow, the staff of our shop will rest for a day. We will open for business the day after tomorrow.¡±.


    Everyone unanimously felt that Lin Yan was a wise boss. Then, Lin Yan said to the three masters, ¡°masters, I have already arranged the car for you to go to the airport from the hotel tomorrow. The masters have worked hard for the past few days.¡±


    The masters replied, ¡°it should be done. The hard work is worth it.¡± The lively picnic came to an end at midnight.


    After Lin Yan sent the staff and the masters away, she thought about going to the theater, so she said to Sheng xinqin, ¡°Xinxin, I¡¯m going to shoot in the theater after the shop is open. If you have time, can you help me take care of the shop?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m still looking forward to this shop. I¡¯ve put a lot of effort into it. I don¡¯t want it to be managed by people who I don¡¯t trust. I want it to be managed by people who like delicious food.¡±

 Chapter 37

    Sheng Xinqin, thinking that this was her future sister-in-law, felt that she was still looking forward to the delicacies in this shop, so she shyly said to Lin Yan, ¡°Lin Lin, do you still lack investment on your side? I want to invest some in it. Can I?¡±


    Lin Yan thought that the little girl really liked delicacies, so she said, ¡°no problem. This shop was originally opened by me and my best friend. Since you want to join, of course, we welcome you.¡±


    Sheng Xinqin hugged Lin Yan excitedly and said, ¡°Lin Lin, I don¡¯t have a lot of money. It¡¯s all saved up from my pocket money. Just give me a little share. I¡¯ll be very motivated. I can even be a shareholder and eat dessert for free. I¡¯m so happy.¡±


    The two of them were talking passionately. They did not notice Sheng Yuxi¡¯s helpless and dark face. Lin Yan raised her head and suddenly saw Sheng Yuxi¡¯s dark face. She felt like she had been neglecting the second male lead tonight.


    Lin Yan, who was under tremendous pressure, smiled and said to Sheng Yuxi, ¡°Sheng Yuxi, I thought that you would be very busy managing a company, so I asked your sister to take care of it.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you won¡¯t be charged if you come to the shop. Moreover, as long as the new product is launched, I will personally send it to you.¡±.


    Hearing that Lin Yan would personally send it to him, Sheng Yuxi¡¯s dark face relaxed slightly. He did not say anything and just looked straight at Lin Yan.


    Lin Yan felt her scalp go numb when she saw Sheng Yuxi looking at her like that. Therefore, with the help of the alcohol, she thought of the carrot-and-stick policy and said, ¡°I had no choice. I¡¯ve been very tired these past few days. Thinking of you as the CEO of a company, you must be more tired than me. So, I found someone else to look after the store. Besides, I didn¡¯t go back on my word. I found your sister.¡±


    As he spoke, he looked at Sheng Yuxi with an aggrieved expression. Sheng Yuxi looked at Lin Yan¡¯s aggrieved expression and wondered if he had gone too far. So, he said to Lin Yan, ¡°don¡¯t forget to send me new products every time.¡± Then, he walked out of the round pavilion.


    Lin Yan looked at Sheng Yuxi¡¯s back and smiled awkwardly at the surprised Sheng Xinqin. She felt very embarrassed. Then, she walked out of the round pavilion with Sheng Xinqin in her arms.


    When she got home, Lin Yan felt that she needed a good rest. In the past few days, she went out early and came back late.


    She slept until 2 o¡¯clock in the afternoon. Then, she drove to the advertising company and looked at the publicity posters that she needed to use the next day, then, she drove home to catch up on sleep.


    On the opening day, Lin Yan got up early and dressed herself up. She decided that she would be the most beautiful milk tea boss. She carried her bag and got into the car to report to Yimeng about her recent situation. Then, she sprinted all the way to So Plaza.


    Lin Yan got out of the car and saw her own store that was already open. She felt that the staff she had chosen was really good. After being arrogant for a while, she started to make milk tea with the staff.


    Around 8 o¡¯clock, the publicity staff arrived. Lin Yan, who was looking at the prepared promotional material, was suddenly hugged by a pair of hands.


    Lin Yan turned around and saw Sheng Xinqin, so she smiled and said to her, ¡°this is our poster for today. It¡¯s not bad, right?¡±


    Sheng Xinqin took a look and felt that it was not bad. She told Lin Yan about how she had been ¡®abused¡¯ by her brother when she returned home the day before yesterday, and then joined the dessert service with a laugh.


    For Lin Yan, the busy time was painful and happy. When everything was ready, Lin Yan said, ¡°let¡¯s open for business.¡± Then, the staff opened the door, and customers came in one after another.


    Lin Yan looked at the crowd and felt that her milk tea shop was quite popular. She was very happy.


    Before she knew it, it was noon. There were still many people at noon. Lin Yan looked at the dwindling dessert products and decided to join in the production of milk tea.


    It was already 2 o¡¯clock in the afternoon when there were fewer people. Lin Yan immediately took advantage of her free time to order takeout and let the staff take turns to eat lunch in the inner room. When the employees heard the boss¡¯s instructions, they happily complied.


    After lunch, everyone started to get busy again. The climax came again when it was close to five o¡¯clock in the afternoon. Lin Yan felt that this was too tiring. She thought that her store should recruit more employees and let them work in different shifts.


    After the busy night, Lin Yan told her thoughts to the employees and said, ¡°if there is a recommendation on new hires, there can be an additional bonus.¡±


    So, everyone was eager to go back and ask their classmates and friends.


    Lin Yan, who was about to close the door, held a cup of milk tea and said to Sheng xinqin, ¡°this is the first cup of milk tea in the shop. You can bring it to your brother tonight.¡±


    Sheng Xinqin thought that her sister-in-law was really nice and considerate. Her dream of being an aunt would not be too far away. After exchanging some words, Lin Yan drove back to the Lin family.

 Chapter 38

    When Lin Yan returned home and saw that the Lin family home was still brightly lit, she wondered if something had happened to her family. She hurriedly walked in and found her father and mother sitting on the sofa with two cups of milk tea in front of them.


    Even her younger brother was crossing his legs and playing games. He casually held the milk tea and sucked on it. There were two cups of milk tea in front of him.


    Lin Yan slowed down. She felt that she had not seen her parents for the past few days. She said to her parents, ¡°the milk tea shop opening is today. The milk tea is quite delicious.¡±


    Lin looked at the exhausted Lin Yan and said, ¡°when I came back, Aunt Chen said that someone sent a few cups of milk tea over today. She said that the Young Miss was the one to send them.¡±


    ¡°You child, you didn¡¯t even tell your parents when you opened the business. Although we can¡¯t help you much, you still have a younger brother. It¡¯s okay for him to run errands. Look at how tired you are.¡±


    Lin Yan heard mother Lin¡¯s words and felt that her efforts had paid off. She did not want to say such sentimental words. She was afraid that her mother would cry, so she smiled at mother Lin and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t do much work. I just drank milk tea and ate snacks.¡±


    Lin Yan¡¯s mother heard Lin Yan¡¯s words and felt that the child had grown up. She did not want her parents to worry anymore. She said to Lin Yan, ¡°you must be tired. Quickly go back and rest. Your father said that you¡¯re going to the theater again tomorrow. Rest well. You must take care of your body.¡±


    Lin Yan nodded and looked at her father. She blinked her eyes to force back her tears and replied, ¡°okay.¡±


    She turned around and went upstairs. Before she stepped on the steps, she heard someone from behind, ¡°Lin Yan, this Eleven milk tea is quite delicious. If you want to drink it in the theater, give me a call. It¡¯s a gift.¡±


    When Lin Yan heard Lin Yu¡¯s words, she could no longer hold back her tears and let them fall on her face. With her back facing her, she waved her hand and quickly returned to her room.


    After returning to her room, Lin Yan felt that she was still very touched in this world. She had a mother who loved her, a father who cared about her, a father who said that he wanted to learn how to be independent, and a brother who was vicious but kind-hearted.


    Lin Yan burst into tears on the bed. After venting, she wiped her tears with her hands and walked into the bathroom.


    When Sheng Yuxi was working in Autumn Goose¡¯s study, he heard the sound of the door opening and knew that his sister, Sheng Xinqin, had come.


    He thought of what he had said to her the day before yesterday, ¡°when you come back from the shop opening, report to Autumn Goose. Don¡¯t sit around and do nothing like how you are at home.¡± There was still some effect. Just then, there was a knock on the door of the study room.


    Sheng Yuxi closed his laptop lid and said, ¡°come in.¡± A young girl in a white dress walked happily to Sheng Yuxi. She handed the milk tea in her hand to her brother and said, ¡°Sister Lin Lin said this is the first cup of milk tea from the shop¡¯s opening. She asked me to bring it to you.¡±


    Then, she added in a teasing voice, ¡°she made it herself.¡± Afraid of her brother¡¯s counterattack, she immediately ran out.


    Sheng Yuxi looked at Sheng Xinqin¡¯s figure running out and shook his head. He felt that his sister was not going to grow up, so he could only teach her.


    Looking at the milk tea in his hand, Sheng Yuxi slowly opened it and took a sip. He felt that the taste of this milk tea was indeed better than what Lin Yan had brought to him before.


    Then, he took out his phone and transferred a sum of money to Lin Yan. He posted, [I want to join as a member. You should start a membership.]


    After taking a shower, Lin Yan saw the 100,000 yuan that Sheng Yuxi had sent her. She felt that it was a lot of money for a rich person to get a membership. How many cups of milk tea did he need to drink for this 100,000 yuan?


    She decided to push more expensive desserts for Sheng Yuxi in the future, she wanted him to pay up more money.


    Thinking of this, Lin Yan still accepted the money obediently and asked, ¡°okay.¡± She also sent a thigh-hugging emoji.


    After receiving the reply, Sheng Yuxi looked at his thigh and felt that he should train more so he could support Lin Yan. He put away his phone, left the study, and walked into the gym.


    Sheng Xinqin, who was in her room, thought that her brother had gone crazy again and was working out in the middle of the night.


    However, she subconsciously poured a cup of warm water, opened the gym door, and walked to her brother¡¯s side. Sheng Yuxi saw his sister walk in and reached out to take the water.


    After drinking, he handed the empty cup back. ¡°Sleep early tonight,¡± he said. Sheng Xinqin nodded, took the empty cup, and left the gym.

 Chapter 39

    Lin Yan woke up the next day with the phone ringing. She picked up the phone in a daze and said, ¡°Su Su, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Su Yue listened to the sleepy voice and said, ¡°Yan Yan, we are going to the theater today. Are you not up yet?¡±


    Upon hearing Su Yue¡¯s words, Lin Yan rolled up from the bed and said, ¡°I forgot to set the alarm. I¡¯m really sorry, Su Su. I¡¯ll get up now.¡±


    Hearing Lin Yan¡¯s anxious voice, Su Yue said, ¡°you pack up now and put on your makeup on the way. I¡¯ll change my route to pick you up. I¡¯ll be at your door in about ten minutes.¡±


    Lin Yan recovered quickly and got off the bed. She quickly tidied herself up. Lin Yan used the fastest speed in her life to reach the door of her house. She looked at the car at the door and immediately went there.


    Lin Yan, who was sitting in the car, took out her cosmetics and said, ¡°I¡¯ve opened a milk tea shop these few days. I forgot about setting the alarm.¡±


    ¡°Su Su, after we finish filming, you must try the Eleven milk tea. It¡¯s really delicious. Don¡¯t use weight loss as an excuse.¡±


    Su Yue, who heard Lin Yan¡¯s words, replied, ¡°okay, we¡¯re going to get on the plane later. Hurry up and put on your makeup.¡±


    Hearing Su Yue¡¯s words, Lin Yan gestured with her hand and began to put on her makeup.


    After rushing over, Lin Yan finally finished putting on her makeup before they arrived at the airport. She stretched her waist and said, ¡°Su Su, my makeup skills are not bad, right? I¡¯m the best.¡±


    Su Yue looked at Lin Yan who had finished putting on her makeup. She felt that Lin Yan was indeed a rare talent in the entertainment industry. It was as if she was God¡¯s favorite.


    She said to Lin Yan, ¡°yes, yes, yes. Your makeup is very good. Hurry up and pack your things. We¡¯re almost at the airport.¡±


    Lin Yan looked at the messy temporary table in front of her and felt a little embarrassed.


    On the plane, Lin Yan said to Su Yue, ¡°Su Su, can I apply to sleep for a while?¡± Su Yue looked at Lin Yan, who looked a little tired, and said, ¡°sure, go to sleep. I¡¯ll call you when it¡¯s time. Cover yourself with a blanket. The air conditioning is still a little cold.¡±


    Lin Yan nodded, pulled the blanket, and began sleeping on the plane. In her dream, Lin Yan dreamed that she had returned to her original world.


    She saw the children in the mountains hugging her, crying and laughing, crying because they missed her, and laughing because they saw that she had finally arrived.


    Sheng Yuxi¡¯s smiling face appeared in front of her again. Suddenly, Sheng Yuxi said with a dark face, ¡°you made me lose my love. I want you to suffer the same pain.¡±


    Lin Yan suddenly woke up from her dream. When she looked out of the window of the plane, she felt that it was really too difficult for her. Why did she come to this world? She was a legitimate good citizen.


    Then, when she thought of Sheng Yuxi, she still felt that she had to establish a good image. She picked up her phone and wrote that she had already gone to the theater. She asked him to come and visit her when he was free. She also asked him to bring her to the people around her to promote her.


    However, Lin Yan, who was sitting on the plane, could not send a message. Therefore, she subconsciously typed a lot of words.


    In the end, she considered it carefully and felt that there was no problem, so she clicked send. She thought that it would automatically be sent again when she got off the plane.


    After sending the message, Lin Yan looked down and glanced out the window. She saw that the outlines of the buildings were getting clearer and clearer. She knew that she was about to get off the plane. She put away her things and took a few deep breaths.


    She thought that she had to face the female lead with a full spirit and said in her heart, ¡®female lead, I¡¯m coming.¡¯


    Lin Yan followed Su Yue to the hotel and put down her things. Then, they came to the shooting studio. When she saw the actors of the other studios wearing layers of ancient clothes under the hot summer heat, she grimaced.


    When they arrived at her shooting studio, Lin Yan, Su Yue, and the director exchanged some pleasantries and saw that He Xue¡¯er and Xi Yuan were acting together. Lin Yan picked up her script and began to memorize her own lines.


    Lin Yan finished reading a script in a short while and felt that she had memorized a rough outline. She wondered if she should rehearse with Su Yue and called Su Yue over. Lin Yan was once again shocked by the host¡¯s IQ. This brain of hers was too easy to use.


    Due to the time for the male and female leads to act, Lin Yan¡¯s scene was shooting tomorrow. Therefore, Lin Yan said to Su Yue, ¡°Su Su, the weather is a little hot. Let¡¯s go shopping to buy some clothes. I was too rushed in the morning and did not bring any clothes.¡±


    Su Yue looked at the acting schedule and felt that she could indeed go to the store. She said to Lin Yan, ¡°okay, I¡¯ll talk to the director and we¡¯ll go.¡±


    The shopping center was a paradise for women. It was a place where Lin Yan could emancipate herself. When they came to the shopping center, Lin Yan pulled Su Yue and began to ¡®by, buy, buy¡¯.


    When Su Yue went to Lin Yan¡¯s home to pick up Lin Yan for the first time, she knew that Lin Yan¡¯s family status was still very good. She did not say anything about Lin Yan¡¯s actions and accompanied Lin Yan from one store to another.

 Chapter 40

    At night, when the sky was dark, Lin Yan looked down and saw that her hands were full. She found a staff member and asked them to send her to the hotel. She then brought Su Yue to start her life as a foodie.


    If one wanted to know whether a place was worth going or not, gourmet food was definitely one of the criteria.


    Lin Yan asked the shop assistant where the gourmet paradise was, then she brought Su Yue to an alley. Before they reached the place, Lin Yan saw many food stalls. She excitedly said to Su Yue, ¡°in order to thank you for accompanying me to walk the streets all afternoon, order whatever you want to eat, I¡¯ll pay.¡±


    Su Yue smiled and replied, ¡°okay, but you don¡¯t have to eat too much. We¡¯ll just eat in moderation.¡± Lin Yan looked at the brightly lit food shops outside and nodded perfunctorily.


    Thus, two beautiful and well-built ladies appeared in a food street in F City, shuttling back and forth from one shop to another.


    After eating and drinking, Lin Yan followed Su Yue back to the hotel.


    Lin Yan was still complaining softly behind Su Yue, ¡°I promised to pay, but you still didn¡¯t let me pack more food to eat at the hotel. How stingy.¡±


    Su Yue got into the car in front as if she did not hear Lin Yan¡¯s words. She got into the car and said to Lin Yan, ¡°after filming, you can eat as much as you want. I¡¯ll pay for you then.¡±


    When Lin Yan heard Su Yue¡¯s words, she felt that this was more like it. She thought that she must eat her fill with Su Yue¡¯s treat.


    The next day, because Lin Yan and He Xue¡¯er had a scene together, she got up very early and set off for the theater.


    When they arrived at the theater, a staff member helped Lin Yan put on her makeup. While putting on her makeup, he praised her, ¡°It¡¯s quite nice that an actor has your skin. You don¡¯t even need to put on very thick foundation makeup. You¡¯re naturally very beautiful.¡±


    Lin Yan smiled and the two of them chatted casually. They then saw that He Xue¡¯er had walked into the makeup room. Lin Yan smiled at He Xue¡¯er, and He Xue¡¯er returned the smile.


    Lin Yan had just finished her makeup when she heard He Xue¡¯er¡¯s makeup artist say that she had brought the wrong makeup products. Because her colleague had something to do today, she had come to replace him.


    She did not know that He Xue¡¯er had allergic symptoms to Brand P makeup, so she hurriedly called her disciple and asked her disciple to send it over.


    However, at this time, a person came to urge the makeup artist to hurry up and finish her makeup. He said that the weather was good today, so the staff came earlier and the equipment was already prepared.


    He Xue¡¯er, who had wanted to comfort the makeup artist, did not know where to start. Hence, she sat there in a daze. She was a little angry and felt that the makeup artist did not even know about these basic things.


    Finally, Lin Yan said to the makeup artist, ¡°okay, we¡¯ll be done soon.¡±


    After the makeup artist left, the atmosphere in the room was very awkward. Therefore, Lin Yan said to He Xue¡¯er, ¡°If you don¡¯t mind the makeup that I¡¯ve used before, you can take mine first. Mine isn¡¯t P Brand¡¯s products.¡±


    He Xue¡¯er did not expect Lin Yan to help her, but time was indeed very tight. The director was still urging her, so she thanked Lin Yan and let the makeup artist take Lin Yan¡¯s makeup and start to apply them.


    This was the first time Lin Yan had officially acted in a movie in this world. She felt that her performance today was exceptionally good and was very happy. So, she said to He Xue¡¯er, ¡°I ordered lunch at noon. Remember to eat. I can¡¯t finish it all by myself. If you like to eat, you can come with me.¡±


    He Xue¡¯er thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed, saying, ¡°okay, I just don¡¯t know what to eat for lunch.¡±


    In fact, the actors¡¯ three meals were all standard. however, today, He Xue¡¯er had had enough, so she ate vegetable and pumpkin soup. It was a good opportunity to reward her stomach.


    If her agent asked about her weight, she would have a reason to refute.


    After receiving He Xue¡¯er¡¯s reply, Lin Yan felt that the days when she and the female protagonist would be sisters would not be too far away. She raised her head, and she felt really good.


    While the two of them were eating, He Xue¡¯er thanked Lin Yan again. Lin Yan immediately replied, ¡°you don¡¯t have to be so polite. Moreover, you have helped me before. I should also apologize to you for the things that I did wrong in the past.¡±


    ¡°Ever since the last time I lost my memory by jumping into the sea, I don¡¯t like Lu Shaoyu anymore. Don¡¯t worry and stay with him. I won¡¯t stop you anymore.¡±


    When He Xue¡¯er heard Lin Yan mention Lu Shaoyu, her ears turned red. She said in a low voice, ¡°the two of us are not the kind of relationship you¡¯re talking about.¡±


    Lin Yan immediately promoted the male lead. According to her memory of the book, she said nice things about Lu Shaoyu to He Xue¡¯er. He Xue¡¯er felt that her ears turned even redder.


    Thus, two delicate-looking girls were sitting in the resting room on the set. One kept talking while the other¡¯s ears kept getting redder.
