Chapter 104 The Peacock Spreads Its Tail
Assistant Chen and Ye Lingzhi placed the food on the tea table in the living room and then left.
The two were wearing pajamas and sitting in wicker chairs.
"Drink the soup first."
Zhou Mingshi ladled out a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of her.
Lin Yi'an picked up the bowl: "No need to take special care of me, you're hungry too..."
Zhou Mingshi ladled himself a bowl of chicken soup, placed it on the table, and said, "Taking care of you is instinct, not something I do intentionally."
After finishing the chicken soup, Lin Yi'an smiled and said, "You're getting better and better at talking."
Zhou Mingshi asked her, "Would you like some rice?"
Lin Yi'an hummed in agreement, then scooped out a bowl of rice and handed it to her.
Only after she took the bowl did he slowly say, "I once read a quote..."
Lin Yi'an looked at him: "What did you say?"
Zhou Mingshi picked up a piece of fish for her: "You've worked hard this afternoon, eat more."
"..." Lin Yi'an thought for a moment and then said, "Actually, you put in more effort."
After saying that, she also put a piece of fish on his plate.
Zhou Mingshi looked at the fish slices in the bowl and said, "So this is a reward?"
Lin Yi'an said earnestly, "After all, you did the physical labor."
Zhou Mingshi accepted with a smile: "Okay."
After finishing the fish slices, he continued the previous topic: "There's a saying that goes, when a man is in front of a girl he likes, he will unconsciously show off himself and display his strengths, which is commonly known as a peacock spreading its tail feathers."
"You mean you just displayed your peacock tail feathers?"
Lin Yi'an laughed. Who would describe themselves like that?
Zhou Mingshi: "Living in the secular world, I am also an ordinary person, and I will unconsciously want to please my wife."
Lin Yi'an smiled: "You've flattered me."
Zhou Mingshi chuckled: "It seems that saying was true, the peacock's display of its tail feathers is very useful."
Lin Yi-an: "Maybe it's because I'm just an ordinary person?"
Zhou Mingshi couldn't help but laugh when he didn't expect her to say that.
Assistant Chen and Ye Lingzhi stood silently downstairs. Hearing faint laughter coming from upstairs, Assistant Chen thought to himself, "It seems the two have made up."
Thinking back to the chill that Zhou felt when he saw the trending topic that morning, he still couldn't help but shudder.
He'd been by President Zhou's side for so many years and had never seen him so angry. That Liu Xinyue was quite a talent.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but open his phone to check the situation online.
Liu Xinyue is a top star in Quan Zisong's company, with much higher popularity than Cai Zixin, whom he brought to see a doctor. She is one of the two most popular artists in his company. This time, she has lost all face and reputation, so her rivals naturally don't mind adding fuel to the fire and smearing her again.
The internet is flooded with sarcastic remarks and smear articles about her.
Liu Xinyue stayed at home, not daring to go out to work or even look at her phone.
The advertising endorsements that were originally scheduled have also disappeared.
The TV series that was scheduled to air has also been announced to be temporarily suspended. As for when it will air, it is yet to be determined.
Liu Xinyue: "That's too ruthless, he's too ruthless. No, I have to go to the company to find President Quan."
Her agent pulled her back: "Calm down, I told you long ago, even if you're a top-tier celebrity now, you're nothing compared to these rich kids. And here you are, presumptuously covering them with your coat. What can I say about you?"
Liu Xinyue's younger brother, Liu Xincheng, said, "I filmed this video, and I also posted it. I went online to clarify..."
The agent said irritably, "Why did you take those photos? And why did you post them? When you came to be your sister's assistant, what did I tell you? Be careful with your words and actions. What did you do? Xinyue is like this because of you. You're so clever."
Liu Xincheng's face turned red.
The agent snorted and looked at Liu Xinyue: "Have you met President Zhou before?"
Liu Xinyue did not speak.
Agent: "I know even if you don't say it. Even if Mr. Zhou isn't married, you have no chance. Take back any ideas you have, or you'll be blacklisted."
Liu Xinyue said self-deprecatingly, "What's the difference between me and being blacklisted now?"
Agent: "Once things calm down, I'll talk to President Quan on your behalf. I'll suggest you do more charity work so your image can recover a bit, and then we can talk about it again."
What else could Liu Xinyue do? She could only listen to her.
Cai Zixin was overjoyed when she saw the trending topic online. Ever since Liu Xinyue became famous, she has looked down on her fellow girls from the same group.
She had a minor hit drama last year, and then she started to suppress her, steal her resources, and was afraid that her popularity would surpass hers.
Unexpectedly, she brought disaster upon herself and caused her own car to crash and burn.
She then thought of the man in the video. She had stayed in Changping for a few days and naturally knew that he was Dr. Lin's husband.
She never expected that Dr. Lin's husband was the president of the Zhou Group. Even if she had known, she wouldn't have dared to have any ideas. She knew her own limitations. President Quan would not let them go out to accompany others for drinks, much less act as a pimp for them. She was confident in her professional abilities. As long as she worked hard at the company, she wouldn't be afraid of not having a chance to get ahead.
She looked at her face in the mirror. Since receiving treatment from Dr. Lin, her condition had been improving, and her face was becoming more and more rosy. The medicine Dr. Lin prescribed was almost finished, and it was time to schedule her next appointment.
Thinking of this, she took out her phone and sent a message to Lin Yi'an.
After sending the message, she flipped to Liu Xinyue's statement and couldn't help but laugh as she read it. She could imagine how frustrated and ashamed Liu Xinyue must have felt when she issued the statement.
After all, admitting that she directed and acted in this drama is tantamount to contradicting herself. It also means admitting that she failed to win over the rich young master and angered him, leaving her with no choice but to issue a statement to prove his innocence.
After Changping, Lin Yi'an, and Zhou Mingshi finished eating, they didn't rush to bed. Instead, they found the Lego set that Zhou Kanghui had given them for Zhou Mingshi's birthday last time, and the couple sat on the carpet in the living room and started building the Lego set.
Lin Yi-an: "Number 32."
Zhou Mingshi found the module and showed it to her: "Is this it?"
Lin Yi'an looked over and said, "Yes."
She took it, tried to press it in for a while but couldn't: "This is too small."
Zhou Mingshi: "I'll give it a try."
Lin Yi'an handed him the things, and her phone rang. She picked it up and looked at it, only to find that it was a message from Cai Zixin.
She replied, "I'll be back the day after tomorrow, and I can come to see you the day after that. If you're in a hurry, you can contact Dr. Xiong."
Cai Zixin: "I'm waiting for Dr. Lin to come back."
Lin Yi-an: "After you finish taking the medicine, you should also pay attention to your diet. Even if it's hot, don't eat raw or cold food or drink cold drinks."
Cai Zixin: "Okay."
After saying that, he even gave a little flattery: "Dr. Lin, you are the most heartwarming doctor I have ever met."
Lin Yi'an chuckled softly, and Zhou Mingshi looked up: "Who are you chatting with?"
Lin Yi-an: "Cai Zi-xin".
Zhou Mingshi frowned: "An artist from Quan Zisong's company?"
Lin Yi'an: "Mm."
Zhou Mingshi gave a soft hum; he currently had no good feelings towards the artists from Quan Zisong's company.
Lin Yi-an: "She is my patient."
Zhou Mingshi: "Why am I texting you so late?"
Lin Yi-an: "I've finished my medication. Let's schedule the next appointment."
Zhou Mingshi nodded, and just as he was about to speak, his phone rang.
When he saw that it was Quan Zisong calling, he didn't answer and hung up immediately, not wanting to talk to him.
Lin Yi'an: "Was that Quan Zisong calling?"
Zhou Mingshi: "Never mind him, let's keep building Lego."
Lin Yi'an: "Okay."
