" Brother Yan, don't overthink it. It's not like what he said."
He came to this strange world, and Brother Yan was the best person to him; he cherished this friendship.
He didn't want Yan Guiyun to overthink things, so he had to say it, no matter how difficult it was.
Yan Guiyun hadn't really thought much of it; she just found Gu Chengyuan a bit amusing. She hadn't expected his Xiao Yi, to misunderstand. She had just been thinking that they had been out shopping all day and would probably be tired by evening, so it would be better for them to rest early.
Yan Guiyun slowly turned around and pulled the sensitive Chi Yining into his arms. His voice was hoarse and warm. "Don't be afraid. I'm not angry, and I haven't thought too much about it. Brother Yan will always be your friend and your support. With Brother Yan protecting you, don't care what others say."
Besides, I didn't take what the people downstairs said to heart, so don't worry.
Chi Yining nestled in Yan Guiyun's arms, quietly listening to Yan Guiyun's gentle words that seemed to spoil him rotten. He now felt even more strongly that there was no one better than Brother Yan in the world besides his grandparents.
" Brother Yan." Chi Yining called softly and slowly stepped out of Yan Guiyun's embrace.
" Brother Yan, you go back and do your work for a while. I'm going back to take a shower... Call me when you're ready to shower..."
Yan Guiyun looked down at Chi Yining's reddened eyes, feeling somewhat guilty for not noticing earlier. He realized how anxious Chi Yining was; it was his fault.
"Okay, go back now." Yan Guiyun patted his head and let him go back. After the door closed, he entered the password and went back to his room.
After Yan Guiyun returned to his room, Li Qingmi, who had overheard the entire incident from the corner of the stairs, felt like a true gossip enthusiast—he really got to know every single juicy tidbit!
Gu Chengyuan will probably never be a match for Yan Guiyun; he's too easily provoked.
Moreover, even a renowned actor like him couldn't suppress this much emotion.
That makes sense, though. This is Yan Guiyun. How could Gu Chengyuan be his match? Who is Yan Guiyun? He's the man who built the entire business empire of Yan Falls on the Southern Mountain. Could he be a pushover?
If it were him, he definitely wouldn't be able to accept that a sycophant who had been fawning over him for two years would suddenly stop. It's quite torturous, and he suddenly couldn't help but understand Gu Chengyuan's frustration.
Having stopped thinking about it, Li Qingmi returned to her room.
10 p. m.
Chi Yining took a shower, edited the text message, and forwarded it to the production team.
Sitting on the sofa, he picked up his tablet and looked at the online platform. He had received another order around 8 PM and had already communicated with the customer. Now he had to continue. Brother Yan hadn't arrived yet; he would probably be a little late.
"Bite"
"Bite"
"Bite"
"Bite"
Chi Yining's eyes widened as his phone rang four times in a row. He picked it up from the table, then froze. What was going on?!
The first text message, when opened, was simple yet polite. "Chichi, this is Hu Bing. It's nice to meet you."
Second text message: I hope one day you'll pay attention to me - Wang Xinyang
It was clear that Wang Xinyang really wanted to talk to him, but as a socially awkward person, he was afraid of people who talked too much.
Article 3: Yining, I know I didn't notice you before, it was my fault. I hope you can give me a chance in the future.
There was no signature, but Chi Yining knew it was that slightly mentally unstable Film Emperor Gu.
The fourth one is from Brother Yan: Later.
With just two short words Chi Yining knew that Brother Yan didn't have enough time today; being a domineering CEO really wasn't easy.
