Love Only Xie Linchuan ღ:... Sister-in-law, can I call you sister-in-law now?
Evil Ragdoll Is the Best in the World: Read.
Twinkle Twinkle, Sparkling Bright: I knew those flowers were sent by that bastard Xie Linchuan! Ugh!
The Star River Flows Endlessly: Waaaaah, so sweet!
A while later, Shu Yan also arrived at the restaurant.
In one morning, the three groups of guests finalized all the partnerships that the program team had prepared for them.
The officials and fruit farmers on Chongshan Island were overjoyed.
The production team kept their promise and exchanged the corresponding amount of Euros for everyone at the highest exchange rate of 1 to 20.
As for the points that the guests had left over because they didn't have to pay for airfare, the production team put them together and exchanged them for Euros. Of course, these points were not exchanged at a ratio of 1 to 20.
Because there were so many people, the entire production crew sat at several tables.
Once everyone had arrived, they began ordering.
This restaurant does not offer à la carte service; it only offers set menus.
Shen Xingcan quickly scanned the menu, finally finding himself torn between two set meals. He wanted the beef in white sauce and the roasted lamb chops, but since everyone else was ordering one, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to order two.
Xie Linchuan noticed Shen Xingcan's hesitation. "If you like them all, then order them all. I still have one spot left."
Shen Xingcan really wanted to accept Xie Linchuan's offer, but considering there were so many people around, he pretended to be reserved. "Won't your fans say I'm bullying you?"
Xie Linchuan nodded calmly. "Yes, then you don't need it."
Shen Xingcan immediately flew into a rage. "How dare you! I'm going to bully you! I'm going to take this spot from you! I want this one and this one!"
Xie Linchuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Bullying someone and you still have the nerve to say it? You're so mean, Shen Xingcan. No wonder people call you the 'Evil Ragdoll Cat'."
Shen Xingcan scoffed dismissively, "So what? I'm wicked and I'm proud of it!"
Song Tiantian's eyes lit up as she listened.
Zou Yanshu's eyes blazed with anger as he listened, and in that short time, he had already downed two glasses of ice water.
Jiang Yifeng glanced at the ice water in front of Zou Yanshu and silently shifted his position.
Zou Xiaolv in some danger now; it's best for him to stay away.
Soon, the waiter left with the menus everyone had ordered.
[Ugh, that wicked, scheming Ragdoll cat is provoking us again! What kind of good sister-in-law would show off her love like this every day? He has absolutely no sister-in-law virtues!]
[It seems Trump supporters are driven to the brink of insanity by this Evil Ragdoll; they've even started calling her "sister-in-law"...]
[She gets all pricked up like a kitten when teased, and even hissssing fiercely at people; no wonder her husband loves teasing her so much.]
[I can't take it anymore, I'm totally smitten by his cuteness!]
Shen Xingcan: "Now that we've completed the task ahead of schedule, does that mean all we have left to do is play?"
Song Tiantian: "Yes, all we have left to do is play. Of course, considering everyone's funds in France, the production team will also randomly release some small tasks that can earn points."
Jiang Yifeng asked, "So, shall we continue sightseeing in Paris, or go straight to Provence?"
Ye Ran: "I'm fine with anything."
Lin Cen: "I have no objection either."
Song Tiantian: "I don't have any objections either... Since no one has any ideas, let's listen to the production team."
A few minutes later, a staff member handed Song Tiantian a piece of paper.
Song Tiantian picked up the paper and read aloud, "The production team's suggestion is that we jointly elect a team leader, and then the team leader will decide our itinerary for the next few days."
After she finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Shen Xingcan.
Song Tiantian coughed lightly. "I want Brother Xingcan to be the captain, so I can call Brother Xingcan captain, and it would fulfill my dream of becoming an unofficial member of TS."
Jiang Yifeng was proud. "Who wouldn't want to call us captain? Calling us captain guarantees you'll be a star in the Chinese entertainment industry!"
Shen Xingcan said irritably, "If things don't go smoothly, everyone can go to Jiang Xiaobai for compensation."
Shu Yan: "I also agree that Xingcan should be the captain."
Lin Cen: "I agree, add one."
Shen Xingcan: "Okay, then I'll be the team leader. Is there anywhere you guys particularly want to go?"
"No."
"I don't have any either, you can arrange it as you see fit."
"We'll do as the captain says."
Shen Xingcan: "Okay, after dinner, we'll go home and pack our luggage. At 6 PM, we'll take a cruise on the Seine River and then stop in Port de Grenelle to spend the night. Tomorrow morning, we'll drive from Port de Grenelle to Provence. We can stop and visit any interesting sights we encounter along the way."
Everyone said in unison, "Okay."
Shen Xingcan: "Everyone here can drive, right?"
"Meeting."
"Then I'll have four cars arranged."
The director immediately spoke from behind the camera, "The production team has already provided you with funding. You are not allowed to use your position to arrange anything else. You must rent your own cars. From now on, the only place the production team has agreed to let you use is Xingcan's accommodation in Provence."
If he continues to let Shen Xingcan make the arrangements, how can he assign tasks that require earning points?
Shen Xingcan: "... Then tomorrow, after we disembark, we'll go to a nearby car rental place and rent three cars."
Song Tiantian stroked her chin. "Three cars are definitely enough. Actually, if we rented a six- or seven-seater car, two cars could fit us and all our luggage."
Shen Xingcan: "Still four cars."
Xie Linchuan's heart stirred.
Jiang Yifeng Jiang Yifeng to be deep in thought, then suddenly realized, " France actually has this 'rent three, get one free' promotion? How thoughtful!"
Shen Xingcan: "... France doesn't have a buy-three-get-one-free promotion. The fourth car is because it was a birthday present I gave to Xie Linchuan."
After a pause, Shen Xingcan looked at the director off-camera. "The birthday gift wasn't something I arranged using my position, because it was just a birthday gift."
director. "..."
[Some items cannot be selected].
Did they send a car as a gift?
[So we'll get to see the gift Xingcan Meow Meow gave to her husband tomorrow?!]
Jiang Yifeng exclaimed, "Wow... so that black La Voiture Noire was a birthday present the captain bought for the youngest brother! No wonder he wouldn't let me touch that car!"
Song Tiantian: "I remember that the birthday gift that Brother Linchuan gave to Brother Xingcan was also La Voiture Noire, right?"
"Right."
Jiang Yifeng pondered, " The Bugatti La Voiture Noire series is a limited edition worldwide, and each owner is only allowed to purchase one... So, the youngest bought the captain's favorite purple, and the captain bought the youngest's favorite black?"
[Although Jiang Yifeng is very pale, the sweetness he gives is genuinely sweet.]
Even though they've had a huge fight, they still prepared a birthday present for each other. Waaaaah, I'm so sad!
[Out of curiosity, I searched for the price of La Voiture Noire on my browser, and that string of zeros almost blinded me. Is this what romance between princes looks like?]
[Limited edition worldwide, with only one unit allowed to be purchased. Just reading those words tells you that this is not something money can solve.]
[So that means Shen Xingcan also prepared four gifts?]
Shen Xingcan: "Mm."
With sparkling eyes, Song Tiantian murmured softly, "So sweet."
-
After having a late lunch, everyone returned to their lodgings.
After returning to their accommodations, the live stream ended, and everyone went back to their respective rooms to pack their luggage.
Shen Xingcan didn't have much to pack; she only took a bathrobe she would wear to the cruise ship that night and an outfit for tomorrow.
A very small backpack can easily handle it.
Shen Xingcan glanced at her watch. "It's 2:30 now, and we need to meet downstairs at 4:30... I'll play games for the next two hours."
Xie Linchuan reasoned with him. "You won't be going to bed early tonight, and you have to drive for seven or eight hours tomorrow, so what you need most right now is rest, not playing games."
Shen Xingcan wasn't really willing to listen, and he argued, "But I'm not sleepy at all right now."
He has a habit of taking a nap, but because he missed that time today, or perhaps for other reasons, Shen Xingcan is not sleepy at all right now.
Xie Linchuan pulled him into his arms and kissed his cheek. "If you're not sleepy, lie down with me for a while. I'm sleepy, you can go play games after I fall asleep."
Shen Xingcan grumbled, " Xie Linchuan, you're so clingy! You won't even sleep by yourself anymore? Fine, the magnanimous Shen Xingcan will grant your wish. After all, you're Shen Xingcan's future boyfriend."
Despite her disdainful tone, Shen Xingcan eventually went to the bathroom to change into pajamas and lay down on the bed with Xie Linchuan.
At first, Shen Xingcan was not sleepy at all. He lay with his eyes open, leaning against Xie Linchuan's chest, idly playing with the buttons on Xie Linchuan's clothes.
Perhaps it was Xie Linchuan's embrace that made Shen Xingcan feel so safe, because before long, Shen Xingcan felt a little drowsy.
He struggled to open his eyes and mumbled a complaint, "I feel sleepy again... Xie Linchuan, did you put sleeping pills on yourself?"
Xie Linchuan said with a hint of a smile, "I didn't put in sleeping pills, but I did put in some catnip."
Shen Xingcan's voice was already almost imperceptible. "Oh, catnip, no wonder..."
Overwhelmed by drowsiness, Shen Xingcan blankly repeated Xie Linchuan's words before falling into a deep daze.
Xie Linchuan kissed the forehead of the person in his arms, then closed his eyes.
With your loved one by your side, even your dreams are sweet.
-
At 5 p. m., the program resumed its live broadcast.
At 4:30, everyone went downstairs to get ready.
The live stream started promptly at 5:00 PM.
[ Seine River Night Cruise, Here I Come!]
[It's only been a few hours, but I still miss my Evil Ragdoll Cat so much.]
Hmm, the guests seem to be dressed rather extravagantly.
[When the live stream ended, Shen Xingcan mentioned that a concert had been arranged for everyone on the cruise ship, and that one shouldn't dress too casually for a concert.]
[Holy crap, Shen Xingcan's outfit is absolutely stunning! She truly lives up to her reputation as a beauty!]
[Did her husband bite her again? I haven't seen his neck since the second episode aired!]
At this moment, Shen Xingcan was wearing a wine-red matte satin shirt. The loose, dropped-shoulder style perfectly accentuated the slender curve of her shoulders and neck. The neckline was tightly closed, and the feather and diamond necklace around her neck made her neck appear even longer.
Wide ribbons of the same color, adorned with silver beads, hung from both shoulders, disappearing along the arms to the wrists, resembling angel wings.
His tailored black trousers accentuated his slender yet not thin waist.
Her black, shoulder-length curly hair accentuated her fair and beautiful face, making her look stunningly ethereal.
Just as Shen Xingcan changed into this outfit, Xie Linchuan pressed her down in the dressing room and kissed her passionately.
He dared not be too unrestrained with his lips, so Shen Xingcan's neck and collarbone, which had finally started to improve, suffered again. If it weren't for the imminent meeting time, Xie Linchuan would have even wanted to continue biting downwards!
Looking at the marks on his body, Shen Xingcan had to accept the fact that he would not have the opportunity to wear low-cut clothes again during the entire recording of the show.
This infuriated Shen Xingcan Shen Xingcan unilaterally declared that she would leave the same mark on Xie Linchuan that night.
Why is he the only one who has to suffer wearing all sorts of turtlenecks? That's not fair at all!
Oh.
As I said before, even if Xie Linchuan is driven crazy by him during the recording of the show, he won't really do anything to him. At most, he'll just leave a few more bite marks on him, like before.
The mark was harmless; consider it as part of the principal she had paid. After all, Xie Linchuan could only vent his frustrations, Shen Xingcan thought inscrutably.
Xie Linchuan looked at the person whose face clearly said, "I'm going to do something naughty," with a leisurely air. " Shen Xingcan, what kind of mischief are you thinking of now?"
Shen Xingcan denied it without even thinking, "... I didn't have any bad ideas!"
Xie Linchuan narrowed his eyes. "Really didn't think about it?"
Shen Xingcan replied decisively, "I didn't think about it."
Xie Linchuan stared at Shen Xingcan's face for a while before saying calmly, "I don't believe you unless you guarantee it with your favorite strawberry ice cream."
Shen Xingcan refused and expressed strong contempt for Xie Linchuan's words. "Only someone who hasn't graduated from kindergarten would make such a childish promise."
Shen Xingcan is a strong, adult man who has graduated from university; he certainly cannot say such a thing!
Xie Linchuan nodded. "So Shen Xingcan, you really are thinking of something bad."
Shen Xingcan: "No."
Xie Linchuan didn't believe him. He chuckled softly and said, "Let me guess what Little Star is thinking, okay?"
Shen Xingcan's tone was unfriendly, and her eyes glared fiercely. "Stop guessing, I've already said no."
But those words had no effect; Xie Linchuan still looked at him with a thoughtful expression.
Shen Xingcan: "... I'm getting on the bus. Don't ride with me, it's annoying!"
With that, Shen Xingcan got into the car without looking back. To avoid any possibility of contact with Xie Linchuan, Shen Xingcan specifically got into the passenger seat of another car.
To avoid Xie Linchuan, Shen Xingcan didn't pay much attention to what kind of car she got into. It wasn't until she got in that she saw her second brother's face.
Then he was kicked out of the passenger seat. "Go sit in the back."
Shen Xingcan: "..."
Shen Xingcan rolled her eyes at her second brother.
[Haha, the Evil Ragdoll Cat's mischievous idea was just hatched when her husband caught her.]
[He's so cute, oh my god, even when he's being naughty he's adorable.]
[So pitiful.]
So the question is, what kind of wicked idea is Shen Xingcan coming up with?
