Before leaving, Xu Milu asked Xu Minian if he had any plans after the college entrance examination, and he answered quite readily:

"Yes, I've made plans with Liu Xing and a few others to go on a trip abroad. I've never even left the province before, hehe. I'm saving all the pocket money you give me so I can bring you a gift. I've heard that foreign chocolates are especially delicious, I'm sure you'll like them."

Xu Milu had originally planned to ask Xu Minian if he wanted to attend the charity gala, but after hearing this, she gave up the idea.

—This party is going to be a bit turbulent, so she doesn't plan to use a double, which means that "Ren Honghe" and "Xu Milu" won't be appearing on the same stage. It's probably better if her family doesn't go either.

...

...

She didn't need to keep a close eye on the villa all the time, and the food supply for the gourmet shop was handled by the people from Honghe Foods. The transaction time between "Ren Honghe" and the official was not yet due, the official Chef God Competition was still arguing with the Eagle Country, and she had almost finished the practice assigned by Cui Shengguo.

For a time, Xu Milu really had nothing else to do.

If everyone is always busy, they will feel empty when they suddenly become busy.

Fortunately, Xu Milu is quite good at self-regulation. When there's nothing to do, she finds ways to amuse herself. She casually dialed Cui Qingli's number, and it was answered after only two rings.

[Hello? Junior Aunt, what brings you, such a busy person, to call me?]

Xu Milu answered quite frankly: "I wanted to hang out with you."

[…cough cough cough.]

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Cui Qingli coughed a few times as if she had choked on water:

[You're being way too blunt. Couldn't you just say you missed me? I'm in Shanghai with Xiao Yun shooting a magazine cover these past few days. Why don't you come visit me?]

Xu Milu was somewhat surprised: "Why are you the one taking the artist to various events? Where is Xiao Yun's manager?"

Xiao Yun still remembered him; he was the male actor who indirectly helped her find the third dimensional fragment in Hengdian, and she heard that he debuted through a talent show.

[Something came up a little—Little Aunt, when are you coming? I'll squeeze in some time, and we can go to Disneyland. I also have a few really good girlfriends, let's go watch the races! Let me tell you, there are so many incredibly handsome male racers, those long legs, those eight-pack abs, those V-shaped waists! I'm even smitten—]

"Come on, I'm so busy every day that I don't even have time to rest. I don't even have enough time to practice my skills. Why would I want to date? Do you want me to bring a goddess into this world and worship her?"

Xu Milu rolled her eyes as she listened, knowing that Cui Qingli's matchmaking ambitions hadn't died down yet.

Cui Qingli immediately retorted:

【Oh dear, that's not how it works! Little Aunt, you haven't experienced the sweetness of love yet. Besides, dating doesn't necessarily mean marriage. What era are we living in? If you don't like it, just break up—oh dear…】

There seemed to be some movement on the other end of the phone, and Cui Qingli let out a soft exclamation.

"I'm not talking to you anymore. Pick me up at the airport at nine tomorrow morning. I made some crab roe oil, do you want some?"

Xu Milu interrupted the conversation; her fawning voice could be heard through the phone.

【eat! ! 】

...

...

Cui Qingli wasn't the only one who came to pick them up at the airport; Xiao Yun, wearing a black fisherman's hat, black sunglasses, and a black mask, was also there.

—He himself debuted through a talent show and already had a certain fan base. In addition, with the airing of the previous drama "The Glamorous Imperial Concubine and the Charming Chef", Xiao Yun successfully squeezed from an 18th-tier actor to... a 13th-tier actor.

"Teacher Xu, Teacher Xu, I'm so sorry to have delayed your schedule."

Xiao Yun quickly took off her mask and greeted him, her adorable baby face full of smiles, though her address was much more polite.

Xu Milu's gaze drifted downwards, lingering on Cui Qingli and Xiao Yun's clasped hands.

How come she remembers Xiao Yun being only seventeen when she participated in the talent show?

Are you an adult?

Even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows!

Cui Qingli was very clever; she immediately explained after seeing Xu Milu's look:

"Ah... well... how should I put it... the situation is a little, a little complicated... Junior Aunt, please don't look at me like I'm a beast. Xiao Yun lied about his age for the talent show. He's exactly twenty-one this year, which is six years younger than me. We're like turtles looking at green beans, we just hit it off, aren't we?"

Xu Milu suddenly realized why Cui Qingli, a company CEO, was always taking over the work of an agent.

So this is just a case of using public office for private gain?

"Oh dear, Xiao Yun is going down the idol path anyway. If an idol is in a relationship, it's considered a disqualification. Does that mean actors can't even date?"

Afraid of being recognized by fans, Cui Qingli quickly waved to signal the van parked behind her to come over, and the three of them hurriedly squeezed into the van like thieves.

Only after the car drove out of the underground parking lot did Cui Qingli confess honestly.

It turns out that Xiao Yun's former agent switched to another company and tricked Cui Qingli before leaving, taking away two popular artists and poaching several promising ones. If Xiao Yun hadn't reminded Cui Qingli, her company would probably have suffered even greater losses.

"So you two are serious? No—well, not forcing me?"

Xu Milu raised an eyebrow, looked at Xiao Yun who had a naive and innocent look on her face, and couldn't help but rub her forehead.

These two, Cui Qingli was spoiled by the Cui family since childhood. She has the personality of falling in love with every girl she meets, and is completely a female version of "playboy".

Xiao Yun appears to be the kind of model student in school, the sunny school heartthrob that all the girls secretly admire.

Two people who were originally completely unrelated could have unexpectedly fallen for each other after a few interactions.

"Of course I'm serious. We haven't gone public with our relationship. First, we're afraid people will say that Xiao Yun got ahead through underhanded means. Second, we're also afraid my dad won't approve. Don't be fooled by his smiling face at us younger generation; he's actually very conservative at heart. If you knew I found someone six years younger than me, he'd be furious."
