Early the next morning, Xu Lin was woken up by the doorbell again and opened the door to find that it wasn’t the two sisters of the Chu family, but instead Ms. Ye, who had experienced an embarrassing situation yesterday.
Dressed in a smart OL outfit with her shoulder-length hair tied up, Xu Lin noticed a small red spot on her right ear.
“This is natural for me; it’s a bit unsightly, so I rarely expose my ears.”
“It’s not ugly at all; it’s like a flower, no, like you, beautiful as ever. Please come in.”
Hearing Xu Lin say this, Ye Fanleng also involuntarily smiled. He is really good at complimenting people.
The two people entered the room, and she also took the initiative to sit next to Xu Lin, making Xu Lin nervous again.
“Don’t be nervous; I’m just like anyone else.”
“Don’t tease me, please.”
“I’m not teasing you; I quite like you; you know why?”
“Well, I really don’t believe it’s because of my looks, writing skills, or anything. There must be more talented people around you.”“You don’t have to be modest; there aren’t really many who are more all-rounded than you, but you guessed right, there is indeed a bit of another reason; it’s this.”
As she spoke, Xu Lin felt her hand being grabbed, turning to look at Ye Fanleng, who tightened her grip a bit more.
“I can hold your hand.”
“What’s special about my hand?”
“Because of some incidents, around the age of 10, I couldn’t have any contact with males anymore; any contact would trigger a reaction.”
“Is this still the case?”
“Yeah, it became increasingly difficult for me to interact with males later on; that’s one of the reasons I haven’t had a boyfriend.”
“But I can, so you like me; is that what you mean?”
“No, no, you’re truly outstanding; there’s no need to belittle yourself.” Ye Fanleng also let go of his hand, and Xu Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
“Are you preparing to leave now?”
“Yeah, back to Yanjing; there’s an 8 o’clock train; are you guys planning to go back in the afternoon?”
“Going back in the afternoon, let’s hope everything goes well; if we can’t go back, it won’t be troublesome to cancel it online.”
“Good, then I will leave first.” Ye Fanleng got up and prepared to leave; Xu Lin also stood up.
But the next moment, she suddenly hugged him tightly. Xu Lin instinctively tried to dodge, but his shoulders were held by her hands.
Pressed together, even though they were separated by clothes, Xu Lin didn’t feel any so-called good figure. Instead, his mood calmed down, and he reached out his hand to gently pat the other party’s back.
He could feel the woman’s exhaustion and fatigue; although she is a CEO, she is still just a woman. There is no husband and no relatives who could take care of her, and it is even more difficult to find someone to rely on.
The only person who can touch her is himself, but he can’t promise anything; he doesn’t have that ability or that courage.
He could give her a hug and let her be slightly comforted; it was the only thing he could do at the moment.
After a few minutes of hugging her like this, the other party slowly raised her head, took a deep breath, and pushed him away.
“Xu Lin, I should get on with it, thanks.”
Her eyes seemed to be firm, but Xu Lin understood that she was merely planning to continue to tough it out, but he couldn’t say anything.
But just as she left with quick steps and walked to the door, Xu Lin couldn’t help but come up with a sentence.
“If no one can hold you in the future, you can still come to me.”
“Haha, stinky brat, if you don’t take advantage this time, there won’t be a next time! But wait for the next time; let’s mother and daughter go to Linshui to find you.”
“Alright, you are welcome to be our guests!”
By the time Xu Lin ran around on his own and bought breakfast back at the hotel at around 8 o’clock, Ms. Ye had already left with Shaoyao.
By the way, she sent him a message saying that she was afraid that Shaoyao would cry even more when she saw them and had to part ways, so she directly took her, who was sleeping, and went to the airport.
The crew’s car also arrived on time at 8:30, but the car just opened the door, and Xu Lin saw Director Sun sitting inside.
“Director Sun, why did you come in person?”
“Just stopping by; get in the car first.”
The few people got into the car, and Sun Jian also pointed to the last row. They looked over and found Liu Qinnuan sitting there.
“Everyone, good morning.”
She greeted the crowd, Chu Fengyi directly twisted her head over, Chu Qingchan didn’t say anything either, and in the end, only Xu Lin nodded his head in a gesture.
“I’m sorry, everyone; it’s my problem that I caused you trouble yesterday and the day before that.”
“It’s nothing; my wounds are basically healed as well, and helping out yesterday also prevented a possible future crime.”
“Thank you, Mr. Xu Lin, or rather, I should apologise to you.”
“Apologise for what? Don’t tell me you really caused someone’s husband to cheat; that’s also your business; I’m just afraid of a more dangerous situation.”
“No, it’s about the day before yesterday. I actually knew ahead of time that Zhu Mei liked me and was an avid fan. But I still asked you guys to help and took advantage of your empathy.”
“And I’m not trying to whitewash what happened to me; I’m just such a person. I grew up caring a lot about the perfection of my outward presentation.”
“So I’m not willing to act as the bad guy myself, to deny the other party, and the situation the day before yesterday was my problem!”
“But yesterday’s matter, after the police came, we went to the police station together and finally determined that it was the other party who forged the photos.”
Sun Jian also rushed to say, “Although Xiao Liu also told me about the day before yesterday, I also talked to her and her mother, but yesterday’s things she absolutely did not do.”
“It’s that Hu Qingteng, whom I’m also more familiar with, is a more powerful screenwriter; the recent hit Yellow River Crane Song is his script.”
“But the love life is more chaotic; he just divorced his wife the year before last year, and last year he tied the knot with this current wife, that is, yesterday, that woman.”
“In the first half of the year, Xiao Liu acted out a play that he recommended. But when he cheated this time, traces were found; he directly took out the photo of Xiao Liu as a shield.”
“Saying that there is no derailment is ambiguous, but he did not expect that the two people would directly come to Jinling.”
But at this time, Liu Qinnuan interrupted the director. “I also have a problem; in fact, I also intentionally or unintentionally ask the other party to make good relations; I actually am not a good person.”
“Hey~ Xiao Liu, who doesn’t have little thoughts when they are hanging out in the circle?”
“Cough!”
Chu Qingchan coughed, and director Sun also immediately smiled. “Sorry, sorry, who dares to spray you in the circle? Only those black fans like to spray you.”
“In the end, I apologise to all of you again, especially sister Chu Qingchan; you were so passionate about me, yet I still used you guys to help me out!”
“It doesn’t matter; I’m also a member of the circle. I can’t just comment on anything, but yesterday’s incident, didn’t it affect you?”
“It’s thanks to the crew’s help; most of the news was blocked. A small portion of the news was filmed not really clearly, but the company clarified it in time.”
“Well, the official page of Jinling Public Security also helped and said a bit about what happened; maybe Mr. Hu’s side won’t be too happy, that’s all.”
The director also added from the side that cheating makes Hu Qingteng afraid that he is under the double pressure of public opinion and feelings.
“Alright, everyone, don’t think so much today; no matter if it’s a conflict or something else, put it all aside. Strive to finish your work this morning; go back to your homes and have a good rest.”
