Chapter 389: It’s hard to reason with a woman
Gao Xianyang arched his brows, then released his grip on Lin Yilan's hand. He gently raised his arm, his original expression of blame changing when he saw her bright eyes. He lovingly covered her hair, rubbing it back and forth. "I believe you. Remember to protect me next time."
Lin Yilan straightened the stiff muscles at the corners of her lips and said, "Of course. I will definitely protect you well!"
"Okay, keep in touch? I have to go to work first."
Lin Yilan watched Gao Xianyang return to the set. This was the first time they had met since she'd last drunkenly teased him. As for what had happened last time, she no longer wanted to ask. She'd probably already guessed it after Huo Juncheng's repeated questioning and warnings.
This is really the only failure in her life! She is so upright that she actually messed up things because of drinking!
After returning to the Huo family, Grandma Huo unexpectedly went to the themed milk tea shop alone, accompanied by her nanny. Lin Yilan sat in the living room and poured herself a glass of water. "Haha, Grandma really likes going there." It seems she's getting along well with Xu Ziwen. Otherwise, I might as well invest in some stocks for Grandma someday.
Under Vivian's guidance, she went home and began studying how those internet celebrities shot their videos, categorizing them into several different types. Lin Yilan fell asleep while reading beside her laptop... When Huo Juncheng returned from the office, her phone was still ringing. Driven by curiosity, Huo Juncheng slid his finger across Lin Yilan's WeChat chat box, checking the most recent chats. Unexpectedly, the first person she'd chatted with was Yan Xing.
Shouldn't it be Vivian?
Huo Juncheng glanced at the sleeping Lin Yilan and snorted coldly, "He's really popular." Since Yan Xing joined their company, he and Yan Xing hadn't spoken more than a few words. She hadn't expected that they had already chatted for so many pages! More than they had even chatted with him on WeChat.
Yan Xing was still talking to himself about small software development. The more Huo Juncheng watched him chattering, the more annoyed he became: "Yan Xing! My wife is asleep." He replied and was too lazy to close the chat box with him.
What the hell? He actually bypassed him, the boss, and went straight to talk to the boss’s wife.
Huo Juncheng didn't harbor any hostility towards Yan Xing, so he didn't exercise his "fiancé's rights" (blocking him). Instead, he took a keen interest in reading the chat logs between Lin Yilan and Weiwei. He read through them word for word, confirming that the foolish Lin Yilan wasn't engaging in any "ambiguous behavior" with Weiwei before letting her go.
"You did well, and I'll reward you with a sweet kiss." Huo Juncheng leaned down and gently kissed Lin Yilan's forehead. Lin Yilan's peaceful sleep was endearing, her fair skin gleaming in the sunlight. Huo Juncheng watched her, entranced by her own beauty.
How come his wife is so cute?
Lin Yilan folded her arms and hunched over like a shrimp. Huo Juncheng felt distressed the moment he saw her like that. He gestured for the nanny and carefully asked her where the towel blanket was. The nanny took it out from the cabinet nearby and handed it to Huo Juncheng. Huo Juncheng carefully covered Lin Yilan with it. Only when he saw her frown relax did he feel relieved and went to take a shower.
As dusk approached, the red glow in the sky amazed people's sight like a red flame.
Grandma Huo returned to the Huo family under Long Cheng's escort. Since her kidnapping, she had rarely smiled so brightly. Even after returning home, she was humming opera, which made others feel happy.
Huo Juncheng was reading a book on the sofa. Seeing his grandmother smiling so happily, his deep eyes also bent down: "Grandma, what are you so happy about?" He was asking even though he knew the answer. The credit for all this still had to go to Lin Yilan.
It seems Lin Yilan does have some business acumen. He hadn't expected the milk tea shop he initially dismissed to be doing so well, and now that it's become a hit on the short video app, even more people will flock to it.
"Of course it's a good thing to be in high spirits." Grandma Huo was humming a tune in a Peking Opera tone. The moment she caught a glimpse of Lin Yilan sleeping, she suddenly shut her mouth as if someone had pressed the pause button.
Huo Juncheng put down the book in his hand and cast a wink at Grandma Huo: "Grandma, why are you so nice to Lin Yilan? You didn't treat me like this when I fell asleep when I was a child."
"You? Don't mention you! My granddaughter-in-law is my life. She looks more comfortable than you. What's there to mention?"
Huo Juncheng: "..."
"Am I a biological member of the Huo family?"
"Yeah, so what."
Huo Juncheng chuckled foolishly. It was impossible to reason with a woman. He had understood this since he was a child.
Grandma, fearing she would disturb her grandson's sleep, happily returned to her room. As usual, Long Cheng reported Mrs. Huo's schedule to Huo Juncheng, including Lin Yilan's visit to the film crew. Huo Juncheng knew Lin Yilan was probably thinking about opening a branch of her milk tea shop, so he wrote Long Cheng a check. "Here's five million. When she wakes up, tell her I'll buy in."
"good."
Long Cheng has only been with Huo Juncheng for a short time, but he is a loyal and honest person and can be trusted.
Huo Juncheng gave some instructions and went back to the company.
When Lin Yilan woke up, all she could see was Long Cheng. Long Cheng and Lin Yilan exchanged a glance before she rubbed her sleepy eyes. "Where's Huo Juncheng?"
"Boss Huo went out to do something busy. Before he left, he asked me to give this to you. He said he wanted to invest in your milk tea shop."
Lin Yilan narrowed one eye at the check Long Cheng handed over, dismissing it before even seeing the amount. "Bah, he's dreaming!" She had already built up the milk tea shop and had increased traffic, so he could invest just because he said so! Why?
Lin Yilan glanced at Long Cheng coldly, picked up the phone and called Huo Juncheng: "Huo Juncheng, can you please put aside your rich face in front of me? Just because you have money, you can do whatever you want? I won't accept your investment."
"You don't want to accept?" Huo Juncheng seemed to have expected her call and wasn't surprised at all. He asked, "It's not like I haven't been to that little milk tea shop of yours before. It wouldn't even cost 500,000 to open one. Are you sure you won't accept my 5 million investment?"
"Five million!"
Lin Yilan's tone changed instantly: "I really hate rich people like you! You're so generous! I just wanted to confirm your determination to cooperate with me. I'll reluctantly accept you as a shareholder for five million."
Huo Juncheng's eyes were gentle and he hung up the phone.
Lin Yilan snatched the check into her own hand and asked disdainfully, "Huo Juncheng invested so much, why didn't you pull me aside just now?"
Long Cheng was speechless... She didn't even give him a chance to speak.
