Lin Muyan and Song Xi waited for a long time, and then heard this, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
It's over, this girl is hopeless.
"Ah, annoying, I just wanted to take my time."
Liu Er Bao holds a shy and coquettish pose, making Lin Muyan and Song Xi burst into laughter. Among girlfriends, the most talked-about topic is their love lives, whether they are in a relationship or not. Afterwards, they almost always discuss how to make Wen Zimo look at Liu Er Bao with new eyes and fall in love at first sight.
The hot pot was still simmering until midnight before it was considered finished. Liu Er Bao drove her constantly malfunctioning mini car and dropped Lin Muyan off just a dozen meters from her home. "Sister Yan, my car is running out of battery. I can only take you this far. Say hi to grandpa for me." Lin Muyan didn't mind and thought it was just a short walk. She reminded Liu Er Bao to stay safe and watched the mini car disappear completely before slowly making her way home.
This year's weather has been quite abnormal. We barely had a proper autumn, and suddenly it started snowing. The snowflakes were small and fell gently. Lin Muyan left shallow footprints wherever she walked. She tightened her coat and walked quickly. When she was close to the front door of her house, she noticed a sleek car covered with a thin layer of snow parked outside the Lin family's gate. At first glance, she recognized it as a Maybach.
Grandpa bought a new car?
She walked forward in confusion for two steps, only to see a person standing by the car with snow falling on his shoulders, and his cold gaze looking at her.
She was startled and instinctively took a step back.
But when he saw that it was her, he strode over, his usually cool and aloof expression now dark and threatening, as if a storm was about to break. "What time is it now?" he asked through gritted teeth.
Lin Muyan Feeling guilty, she averted her eyes for a moment, then looked back again. She hadn't done anything wrong, so why feel guilty?
"Our relationship isn't at the point where we need to announce our schedules, Mr. Xiao," she said, feeling uncomfortable as she strained her neck. He was too tall, and she had to tilt her head back to maintain a bit of her own dignity.
Three words, Xiao Chen's face instantly turned dark, suppressing the raging storm as if a storm was about to come.
"How did you come back?"
He endured the pain, his fingers clenched and hanging by his side, the palm slightly aching.
Lin Muyan took a careful step to the side and said, "Of course someone brought me here." She didn't really want to talk to Xiao Chen in his current state. "Do you know what time it is now? I've been waiting here since six o'clock, six hours in total."
Xiao Chen just didn't look carefully, and vaguely saw Lin Muyan getting off someone else's car. He waited so long just to celebrate her birthday, but she didn't pay any attention to herself, and was so indifferent.
If it were someone else, he would have exploded long ago. He can endure until now, which shows how long he has been suppressing.
"Do you know how dangerous it is for a woman to go out alone so late? The social atmosphere is so heavy recently, and any news is a vicious event. You're happy if nothing happens, but what if something really happens? Do you have a brain at all!"
Xiao Chen was on edge for half a day, and when he saw her return safely, he finally relaxed. But her sudden outburst made his words unintentionally heavier. When he tried to take them back, Lin Muyan was already wearing a cold expression. "I am responsible for my own safety," she said, trying to walk away, but Xiao Chen grabbed her arm.
"Wait, do you really not want to see me and keep pushing me away like this?" Lin Muyan glared at him, "You were the one who started arguing with me first." She never suffered losses, and even if she did, she would seek revenge on the spot and never wait until the next day.
She stubbornly turned her head, wanting to shake off Xiao Chen, but found that he was holding on too tightly. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake him off. Instead, it seemed like they were both pulling and tugging at each other.
"No, I am very dissatisfied with this Xiao Chen. He can't let my granddaughter suffer. Quickly, have someone separate them!"
In the study on the third floor of the Lin residence, Old Master Lin held his telescope high and stared unblinkingly at the activity outside the door.
Seeing his granddaughter and a man tussling, he immediately exploded, threw the telescope, and called for help on the internal line. At the right moment, Linbo reminded, "Sir, if you call for help, the young lady will know you were peeking." Old Master Lin froze and silently took the telescope back into his hands. "How can I be considered peeking? I am supervising to eliminate all factors of negligence and prevent any unnecessary trouble for Muyan Yatou. Yes, trouble."
The telescope was brought back to the eyes again. Old Master Lin couldn't hear what was said at the door, but his granddaughter's expression seemed less resistant. He raised his eyebrows in puzzlement and scolded Linbo next to him, "It's all your fault for interrupting and causing me to miss the important plot!" Linbo: "..."
He wants to change jobs now. Is it too late? Lin Muyan was being dragged by Xiao Chen, unable to shake him off. Xiao Chen stared at him, tightly pursing his lips, looking as if he was wronged and feeling uncomfortable as if he had been bullied. "Fine, I won't leave. You let go first."
She had a premonition that if she didn't speak up soon, Xiao Chen would keep her there until dawn. "What do you want to say?" Xiao Chen hesitated, but finally let go of her hand after Lin Muyan nodded affirmatively. He eagerly watched Lin Muyan, ready to intervene at any sign of action from her.
The falling snowflakes slipped into her collar as Lin Muyan struggled, making her shiver. Xiao Chen waited quietly for her to speak. She sighed and pointed to the Maybach. "Let's get in the car first. It's too cold, and I want to feel some warm air." After a pause, her hands and feet gradually warmed up, and Lin Muyan finally looked back at the man as she sat in the passenger seat.
"The scolding has been given, and the person has been seen. You can talk about the purpose of your visit today."
The temperature in the car kept rising and finally settled at a constant temperature that was comfortable for both of them. Upon hearing Lin Muyan's words, Xiao Chen paused before saying, "I came to celebrate your birthday."
The birthday cake was placed on the back seat, but due to the long time, the frosting on the surface had melted a bit, making it look less stunning than it originally was.
Lin Muyan She averted her gaze, trying hard not to be drawn to the two swans on the cake. "I've already eaten," she said.
"Oh," came the reply. Another silence filled the car.
For a while, Lin Muyan sighed. "Since you don't have much to say either, I'll go back. It's getting late, and my grandfather will worry." She didn't ask Xiao Chen how he knew where she lived, but she thought that last time Wen Zimo had brought her and Liu Er Bao back. If Wen Zimo, as a good brother, didn't tell him this information, it really wouldn't seem right.
"Wait."
Xiao Chen was probably afraid that she would suddenly leave, so he suddenly leaned forward, pressing his hand on her door handle.
This action required him to lean over half of his body, which caused Lin Muyan to be pressed back into her seat by him. Their noses almost touched, startling Lin Muyan into leaning back hard.
Xiao Chen quickly sat down and stole a glance at Lin Muyan, causing his heart to race as if it were about to jump out of his chest.
"I guess someone must have helped you celebrate your birthday this late at night."
He wanted to casually say these words, but when they slipped out, he couldn't help but add a sour tone.
"I have another birthday gift for you." He leaned back in his seat, and Lin Muyan looked at him curiously as he took out a check from his wallet, made a few additions with a pen, and handed it to Lin Muyan. It was a convertible check worth 600 million.
"I, personal name, want to invest in your play."
Receiving a check as a birthday gift was quite unexpected for Lin Muyan.
after all she had considered many things, but this was the one thing she hadn't anticipated.
"Do you know?"
Lin Muyan lowered her eyes, making it difficult for Xiao Chen to see what emotions she was feeling.
Xiao Chen could only guess and nodded, "Yeah, I heard about the funding being pulled from Peak Entertainment's drama."
This is the result of his careful consideration, starting from the perspective of the company's interests. This is definitely not a good time to invest in peak, so he can only do it in the name of personal name.
Because Lin Muyan needs it, he took it.
"6 billion, you're so generous with it?" Lin Muyan was a little curious, how much did this person really earn?
It's not easy for her to come up with six billion in a short time. This man is a bit too arrogant. "It's not particularly enjoyable," Xiao Chen smiled honestly, "It's your birthday today, and I want to make you happy." He spoke frankly, almost as if he should wear a sign that says "I have big thighs, I'll hug you willingly, no cost required."
"This is peak first time producing a play, so you should be well aware of the risks involved. Breaking even would be considered a success." Lin Muyan kindly reminded. It was precisely because Xiao Chen was not joking with her that she earnestly explained the risks of this investment to him.
"We even cast newcomers as the lead actors. The fact that this drama has been able to be planned until now is entirely due to the popularity of the novelist. I can't even guarantee that it will be a success." She rubbed her temples. "I don't want you to try to please me in this way. I have put all my efforts into the transformation of the company this time. If it fails, I will have to step down. I can't afford any more unexpected changes." Six billion is enough to make her anxious.
"I'm not trying to please you completely." Xiao Chen touched his chin and said seriously, "I've seen Peak Entertainment's plan for this drama. Maybe you have some shortcomings, but you will definitely take every planning stage seriously. I believe in you."
"As for the money, I'm investing in the drama, not trying to threaten you with it."
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, "Haven't you already expressed your attitude, wanting to start as friends? Why should I make things difficult for myself and make you unhappy?"
"Do you want to continue dating me, do you want to forgive me, these are all your choices, I respect any of your wishes, even if you still can't forgive me, I am willing to bear the consequences. Just like I said, I just want to help you, Mumu, please don't refuse. If you can't fully trust, I am willing to sign a contract with your company, the content will be drafted by your lawyer, I will not have any complaints."
In other words, even if the six billion ends up being a loss, he will not blame Lin Muyan at all.
Lin Muyan looked at him blankly for a while, this money was like a timely help for her.
Saying that you're not moved is a lie.
