Chapter 104 Has Brother Shen changed his preferences again?

Luo Jiayin raised an eyebrow and turned her head to look at Gu Yishen.

This person is actually a bit arrogant...

That guy's words were incredibly tactful and sophisticated.

Yu Jiu had just asked whether he was more handsome or Lu Ziye was more handsome. Gu Yishen neither answered that he was more handsome nor that Lu Ziye was more handsome. He simply brushed it off by saying that he couldn't compare to a young man like Lu Ziye.

Gu Yishen seems to have a lot of opinions about his looks.

Gu Yishen's words, though seemingly humble, also implied a strong affirmation of his own charm.

I never expected that a dignified movie star like Gu would act like a child and refuse to admit that someone is more handsome than him.

Luo Jiayin sighed inwardly: "Actor Gu is getting more and more amazing..."

That makes sense, though; Gu Yishen's appearance certainly gives him reason to be proud.

"Let's eat first, otherwise the food will taste much worse when it gets cold."

Luo Jiayin gave a friendly reminder with a smile.

After another round of verbal sparring, the people in the room finally focused on eating the table full of delicious food in front of them at Luo Jiayin's command.

Gu Yishen had barely started eating when his phone began to ring incessantly.

At that moment, Gu Yishen was wearing transparent plastic gloves and had just scooped up a king crab that Luo Jiayin had "splurged" on, and had just opened the lid.

Gu Yishen glanced at the phone lying between him and Luo Jiayin, which was "twisting" rhythmically due to vibration, and then looked at Luo Jiayin with a troubled expression.

Luo Jiayin: ...!!

Dude, what are you doing? Couldn't you at least take off your gloves before answering the phone?

Why are you looking at me with that "please" expression?!

"Bro...you wouldn't...want me to answer the phone for you, would you...?"

Luo Jiayin frowned and glanced at the phone on the table, then looked at Gu Yishen and pointed to herself.

"Ah, that would be perfect. Thank you, little brother Luo Jia."

Gu Yishen smiled, looking extremely grateful.

Luo Jiayin, however, felt that Gu Yishen really didn't care about his image at all now.

Are they that close? Why would they ask her to answer the phone?

Isn't Gu Yishen afraid that she might discover some business secrets, or hear something she shouldn't have heard?!

This person is really strange!

"This number should be from Feng Xu," Gu Yishen said, as if he had read her mind, trying to dispel Luo Jiayin's concerns.

Luo Jiayin glanced at Gu Yishen suspiciously, then looked down at the buzzing phone. With no other option, she reached out her hand.

However, Luo Jiayin did not pick up the phone immediately. Instead, she kept the phone on the table a little closer to Gu Yishen, then swiped the screen and tapped the "answer" button.

Do you need me to put it on speakerphone?

Actually, Luo Jiayin just asked that question on purpose.

Because if we look at Gu Yishen's current pose—holding up two greasy claws, one hand holding half a king crab, and the distance between him and his phone—it's clear he's in a similar position.

If Gu Yishen wanted to hear the voice on the phone clearly, he had to turn on speakerphone, or bend over, lower his head as much as possible, and tilt his head so that his ear could barely reach his phone.

Luo Jiayin smiled slyly. She was quite certain that Gu Yishen, as a seasoned veteran in the entertainment industry, would never discuss matters with Assistant Feng in front of so many people in the room.

Then let him struggle to bend over and answer the phone, serves him right! Let him boss him around!

Luo Jiayin secretly rejoiced, but maintained a polite smile on her face.

"Could you please press the speakerphone button for me again, little brother Luo Jia?"

Gu Yishen said to Luo Jiayin with a smile.

"What??" Luo Jiayin's eyes widened upon hearing this, staring at Gu Yishen in disbelief.

What's wrong with this person?

They've been pretending to be friendly and calling me brother, but where did they get the audacity to actually answer the phone in front of them?

Luo Jiayin wasn't one to indulge children's bad habits, so since Gu Yishen was being so "unpolite," she naturally had even less reason to mind.

Hearing Feng Xu's anxious calls over the phone, Luo Jiayin thought that she shouldn't waste her energy arguing with Gu Yishen and ruin his important business.

If it's something really important, it wouldn't be good if Assistant Feng got scolded as well.

So this time, Luo Jiayin quickly and decisively turned on the hands-free function of Gu Yishen's phone.

"...What's going on...Hey! Is the signal bad? Brother Shen? Brother Shen! Hello?"

Feng Xu kept calling out to his brother Shen, but received no response.

Just as Feng Xu was getting anxious and wondering whether he should hang up and call 110, he heard that familiar, reassuring voice on the other end of the line.

"I am here."

"Brother Shen? Is that Brother Shen?"

“…Nonsense!” Gu Yishen was speechless.

"Brother Shen!! Where did you go! Where are you now? Are you in danger? Are you with anyone else? Did they do anything to you?"

Feng Xu eagerly bombarded Gu Yishen with a series of questions, leaving Gu Yishen feeling somewhat overwhelmed.

"Uh... I'm right next door..."

"Huh? Where are you? Next door? Which next door?" Feng Xu was also confused when he heard Gu Yishen's reply.

However, Gu Yishen seemed to be in good condition and did not appear to be in any danger, so Feng Xu breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.

It's good that everyone is alright, that they weren't kidnapped, abducted, or held hostage by anyone, that's all that matters...

"Brother Shen! You're really something, saying you were going to the restroom and then you just disappeared!"

"It's one thing if you're dead, but at least tell me where you went..."

"I called for ages and she wouldn't answer, and when she did, she wouldn't call back. I was so worried!"

"Brother Shen, you just said you were next door? Could it be... that you ran into some handsome guy, Kexin'er's younger brother? And then you went to sit with him for a while?"

"Feng Xu!! What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Q: What are you most afraid of when there are many people around?

The worst thing is when the air suddenly goes quiet.

Another question: What is Gu Yishen most afraid of when there are many people around?

What I fear most is that the air will become quiet again.

After a brief silence, bursts of uncontrollable laughter erupted from the private room.

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, Gu Yishen's face turned pale and then flushed.

Just then, Feng Xu's voice, seemingly oblivious to the danger, came through the phone again:

"Hmm? A woman's voice??"

"Brother Shen...you've...changed your tastes again?"
