Lifetime of Bliss And Contentment With You Chapter 212 - Her Idol's Request

Chapter 212: Her Idol’s Request

Anyone who ranked C or below would be destroyed…

The news Lin Yan had received tonight had dealt her a heavy blow.

She had always cherished the hope that her brother would be alive in another corner of the world. Regardless of the state he was in, as long as he remained alive, she would definitely find him.

However, this piece of news had nearly smashed all her hopes…

Lin Yan stood on the balcony in a reverie as the icy night wind blew against her face.

She was deep in thought when her phone rang. An unknown number was calling her.

Lin Yan answered the call. “h.e.l.lo, who is this?”

“Big Sister-In-Law, it’s me.”

The gentle voice on the other end startled Lin Yan, who took some time to recover. “Pei… Mr. Pei…”

“Sorry for calling you this late. Did I disturb your rest?” Pei Nanxu sounded rather exhausted.

“No, no, I’m not asleep. What’s the matter?” replied Lin Yan hurriedly.

Pei Nanxu replied, “Indeed, there is something… I may have to ask your help with…”

Lin Yan asked, “Help?”

What could she possibly help Pei Nanxu with?

“Yeah…” Pei Nanxu fell silent for some time before he said, “Can you call my Big Brother now?”

“Huh?” Lin Yan was puzzled. “You want me to call Mr. Pei now?”

Pei Nanxu reiterated, “Yeah.”

Lin Yan answered, “But… Why do I have to call him so suddenly? What should I say?”

Pei Nanxu quipped, “Just say anything when you call him. Perhaps you can ask him out tomorrow night…”

“Errr…” Lin Yan felt completely lost.

Why would she have to call Pei Yucheng so abruptly?

She had been racking her brains for ways to break up with him… Naturally, she should minimize any contact with him first…

Pei Nanxu spoke earnestly once more. “Please… Can you?”

This was her idol’s request… How could she say no to him?

Lin Yan agreed readily. “Sure, I’ll call him.”

“Thank you!” Pei Nanxu heaved a sigh of relief.

Even though she did not know why Pei Nanxu had made such a request, he sounded really earnest and desperate. This should be important.

Lin Yan did what Pei Nanxu had requested and called Pei Yucheng immediately.

“h.e.l.lo, Mr. Pei…”

Her call got through in no time, and she heard a deep voice. “Looking for me?”

Lin Yan had no idea if her mind was playing tricks on her. It was the same familiar voice, yet it sounded really scary.

Lin Yan said without mulling this over, “Errr… Yeah… Tomorrow night… Can we meet?”

Pei Yucheng replied, “Okay.”

The feeling she’d had vanished like an illusion and Pei Yucheng sounded like his usual self again.

Lin Yan ended the call soon and sent Pei Nanxu a message. ‘Mr. Pei, I’ve already called him and asked to meet him tomorrow.’

‘Great, thank you so much!’

‘You’re welcome.’

Lin Yan collapsed against the wall and sighed to herself.

It was easy to make a call. However, what should she do tomorrow when she saw him?

She was in a predicament, as she couldn’t say no to Pei Nanxu either. From his perspective, Pei Yucheng was her boyfriend, so calling him to ask him out was perfectly normal.

Chapter 213: Do I Have to Listen When You Want to Talk?

The next day, on the filming set…

Lin Yan wasn’t feeling too well, so she didn’t even play any games. After she had her makeup done, she sat there in a daze.

Duoduo sat beside her and stole furtive glances at her. Then, she cleared her throat by coughing gently. “Don’t mind those negative remarks online. It’s always better when people talk about you in the entertainment industry than when they ignore you. Besides, your acting is quite good. As long as you stay away from horrible shows and listen to Sister Ling, everything will get better…”

Lin Yan fluttered her eyelashes and raised her head. Feeling overwhelmed by Duoduo’s encouragement, she exclaimed, “Darling Duoduo, are you comforting me?”

Duoduo’s expression froze. “Who is comforting you? I was just afraid that you might be too affected to film properly and then you would affect Sister Ling’s reputation! I heard that Han Yixuan will be filming today. If you aren’t in the right condition, then how are you supposed to act today?”

Lin Yan grinned affectionately at the little la.s.s, who was trying to cover up her lie. “Don’t worry, I won’t have anything to do with him. The scenes today are quite simple.”

Wei Xufeng had applied for leave, so her scenes were being pushed forward.

She wondered if the blow he had received was too severe. That kid kept updating his Weibo with sorrowful posts…

Every time he did, she would be lambasted…

Lin Yan pulled herself together and managed to finish all her scenes that day.

After she removed her makeup and changed clothes, she picked up her cloth bag and left the set.

“Sister Yan, are you going back home?”

“You go first. I’m meeting my friend, so I’ll take the train.”

“Sister Yan, Sister Ling should get a car for you once you get more shows. It’s too inconvenient to commute by train or bus every day. I wonder when will you receive an offer for the next one… It might take years…”

Lin Yan and Duoduo, who were chatting as they walked out, b.u.mped into someone while they turned a corner.

Last time, they had b.u.mped into Pei Nanxu. This time, it was Han Yixuan…

Duoduo’s eyes widened in shock when she saw Han Yixuan and his a.s.sistant. Instinctively, she grabbed Lin Yan’s clothes.

The four of them remained rooted to the spot.

Han Yixuan raised his head and frowned when he saw Lin Yan.

n.o.body spoke for some time.

Lin Yan’s gaze lingered on Han Yixuan’s face for less than a second. Then, she swept past him with determination and marched ahead…

Duoduo heaved a sigh of relief and scuttled after her.

After several steps, a man’s voice interrupted them. “Lin Yan, let’s talk.”

Duoduo could feel her scalp going numb when she heard Han Yixuan.

What was going on?

Why would the other party initiate a conversation with Lin Yan?

Pei Nanxu… Wei Xufeng… Now, Han Yixuan…

Nothing was happening the way the rumors had described.

Duoduo swallowed her saliva and glanced cautiously at Lin Yan.

The latter ignored Han Yixuan and continued walking away as though she hadn’t heard anything.

Han Yixuan rushed forward and stopped Lin Yan. “Lin Yan!” He raised his voice.

Lin Yan glanced at her phone, looking displeased. “Sorry, Mr. Han. I’m in a rush.”

Han Yixuan trudged on. “It will be just a short talk.”

His cologne made Lin Yan’s mood worse. “Do I have to listen if you want to talk?”
