“I knew it.” Lin Yanyan turned to glare at Chi Yan’s back, her teeth almost grinding to dust. She reluctantly sat back down, looking at Shang Lu with a somewhat aggrieved expression and asked, “Is he good to you?”
“Very good,” Shang Lu nodded and peeled an orange in front of him, feeding it to Lin Yanyan.
Lin Yanyan ate it reluctantly and said, “Be more specific.”
Shang Lu : “…?”
How could she explain such things?
Lin Yanyan persisted, “Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease.”
Fine.
Shang Lu reluctantly lowered his voice and told Lin Yanyan a few things.
Although Lin Yanyan almost burst into laughter every time she heard them, as soon as Shang Lu stopped, she pretended to be picky and said, “That’s it. Tell me something else.”
Until the Chi Yan’s voice rang out, he walked out with two plates and looked at Shang Lu, saying, “I need to fry the glutinous rice cake a little longer. Can you bring Da Guai over? Just give it a snack to fill its stomach. I’ll take it for a bath later.”
He was still cooking and not very convenient to deal with the dog.
“Okay,” Shang Lu stood up and wanted to go out directly. Lin Yanyan naturally followed Shang Lu, as Lin Yanyan doesn’t want to be alone with Chi Yan even for a second.
The two entered Chi Yan’s house.
Lin Yanyan looked at the furnishings in Chi Yan’s house with a bit of disdain, saying, “This aesthetic is not good. Look at that sofa pillow; it doesn’t match at all.”
Shang Lu patted Da Guai’s head while responding to Lin Yanyan, “You’re right.”
In fact, the original pillow was on her sofa at home, but she felt that she had to agree with Lin Yanyan at a time like this and couldn’t tell the truth.
Lin Yanyan still looked a little upset. When Shang Lu had finished feeding Da Guai a chicken leg and was about to take it with her, she turned around and found Lin Yanyan looking at her with a teary expression.
Shang Lu was taken aback and asked, “Why are you crying again?”
“I don’t know.” Lin Yanyan’s voice choked up, and she stared at the ceiling. “I just have this feeling of going to marry my daughter. If Chi Yan is not good to you, I won’t let him off. I want to be the bridesmaid at your wedding, the godmother when you have children, and in the future, when your children date, I want to meet your son-in-law or daughter-in-law. Waaah!”
“Okay, okay.” Shang Lu was a bit amused and couldn’t help but laugh. She quickly handed Lin Yanyan a tissue to wipe her tears and said, “We haven’t rushed into that stage yet. We’re just dating. You’re thinking too far ahead.”
“I just prepare myself mentally.” Lin Yanyan replied confidently, her gaze freezing the moment she locked eyes with Da Guai.
She was immediately drawn to Da Guai and bent down to pet the dog, saying, “Although Chi Yan might barely be a match for you, his dog is quite cute.”
After being praised, Da Guai wagged its tail even more enthusiastically and used its mouth to push a chicken leg wrapper out of the trash can, making it clear that he wanted some.
Lin Yanyan couldn’t resist the charms of the Samoyed, so she asked, “Is there another chicken leg? Give it one more!”
“It should be here.” Shang Lu searched the snack cabinet, somewhat puzzled. “I remember there were some here yesterday. Where did they go?”
Since Shang Lu couldn’t find it, she looked at Da Guai and said, “It’s not that Sister won’t give you any; I really don’t know where the chicken legs are. Good boy, let’s go.”
*Woof! Woof woof!* Da Guai responded in this way but refused to leave with Shang Lu. It bit the dog leash and wagged its tail, leading them to the study.
Although Shang Lu thought there probably wouldn’t be any chicken legs in Chi Yan’s study, she couldn’t resist the dog’s insistence.
Shang Lu could only follow behind Da Guai and asked, “Where are you going?”
Da Guai entered Chi Yan’s study and continuously used its mouth to bite one of the drawers, attempting to open it.
With its unwavering effort, the drawer was finally pulled open, revealing something inside : a photo frame.
Hmm? A photo frame?
Lin Yanyan curiously approached and asked, “Where are the chicken legs?”
She picked up the photo frame, intending to search for the chicken legs, but she fell silent the moment she saw what was inside.
Lin Yanyan’s lips twitched as she looked at Shang Lu and said, “I believe he really loves you.”
Shang Lu: “?”
Lin Yanyan turned the special custom-made photo frame in her hand, which had a more spacious interior than a typical photo frame, and inside it was not a photo but an embroidery.
The content of the embroidery was all too familiar to Shang Lu.
Chicken legs with tomato sauce on a green plate.
Shang Lu burst into laughter, stroking Da Guai’s head and asking, “Has Dad taught you that these are chicken legs?”
*Woof!* Da Guai answered like this.
Shang Lu’s lips couldn’t help but curl up, and even the somewhat ugly embroidery seemed much more pleasing to her.
Lin Yanyan : “Are you imagining that Chi Yan is holding this thing up and telling the dog that it’s a chicken leg?”
Shang Lu was a little surprised and asked, “How did you know?”
Lin Yanyan started pulling her hair without expression, looking very distressed.
She knew it! She knew it! Girls in love are all like this!
She won’t be the person Shang Lu cares about the most in the future, but she also has no position to compete with Chi Yan for Shang Lu’s love. Ugh, 😭.
D*mn Chi Yan! D*mn!!!
The breakfast was actually a bit awkward. Lin Yanyan glared at Chi Yan at least a dozen times during the meal.
Before leaving, Lin Yanyan waved her hand and said, “Is your new movie <Salvation Plan> about to be released? I’ll book ten showings, and Song Zeqian asked us to pack our bags and go straight to the set after the Lunar New Year.”
After that, she provocatively glanced at Chi Yan.
Song Zeqian’s crew was staying in a hotel arranged by the production team. Even if Lulu and Chi Yan were in a relationship, the only person who could see Lulu every day was her, Lin Yanyan.
However, Chi Yan smiled gently and said to Shang Lu, “By the way, something was just decided yesterday, and I haven’t had a chance to tell you yet. I met with Song Zeqian and confirmed that I’ll be investing in his new movie.”
Shang Lu was somewhat surprised. “So the job you mentioned yesterday was for this.”
Lin Yanyan : “?!”
Why? How did Chi Yan become their financial sponsor?
Ahhhh! She couldn’t stand it! Let this world be destroyed!
But looking at Lin Yanyan, who was about to go crazy again, Shang Lu immediately changed the subject and asked her, “Why did you come to see me so early in the morning? Is there something you want to talk about?”
Lin Yanyan : “!!!”
If Shang Lu hadn’t reminded her, she would have almost forgotten the main point!
Lin Yan Yan didn’t care about glaring at Chi Yan anymore and immediately said, “My Mom told me this morning. A few days ago, she had afternoon tea with friends, and someone mentioned Jiang Yi. His relationship with his family is very strained right now, but in this situation, he’s still investing in Ning Lin’s new drama, and they started arguing again!”
Shang Lu thought for a moment and asked, “Ning Lin’s new drama?”
“I’ve already found out about everything on my way here,” Lin Yanyan said excitedly at this point, “Ning Lin has been posting a bunch of photos of herself as a teacher in the mountain village for the past two days, saying that she has been doing charity work all these months, just to whitewash her image. It seems like Jiang Yi arranged a web series for her, with a popular traffic celebrity as the male lead, and the writer and director they hired are pretty good. I guess they spent quite a bit of money to get those people. Maybe they are preparing for her comeback.”
Ning Lin was boycotted by netizens spontaneously due to ethical reasons. It wasn’t exactly a complete ban or hiding, but her popularity had plummeted so much that no film crew would actively seek her out. However, as long as there’s capital willing to support her, she might still have some opportunities.
Shang Lu touched her chin, slightly shifting the focus of the conversation, and sighed, “It’s truly a touching love story.”
As the male and female leads, they’ve been through so much chaos, yet they are still together.
At this moment, Chi Yan calmly remarked, “Web series don’t necessarily get broadcast just because they are filmed.”
“Don’t speak in such a villainous tone,” Shang Lu waved her hand at Chi Yan, took a sip of milk, and said, “If she wants to make a comeback, let her do it. We don’t need to concern ourselves with her.”
If Tang Qingqing knew, she should be very happy.
Shang Lu thought this in her heart, and her focus shifted once again.
Well the love of the original FL x ML would be if Jiang Yi hadn’t been so insistent on using Shang Lu rather than directly fight for his gf. It would have saved Ning Lin a lot of trouble too… but eh whatever..
