"Are you sure you don't want to eat this? This was specially prepared by the hotel's five-star chef!" Lin Chen turned around, his back to her, and said, "But the bill is on you."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yanan immediately rushed out, abandoning all semblance of ladylike behavior. She arrived at the restaurant and, looking at the table laden with dishes, felt a pang of heartache.
She knew she could order food by phone here, and the bill would be automatically added to the room rate. Naturally, she would have to pay for the room. She usually couldn't afford to eat in such an expensive hotel kitchen and preferred to eat at nearby restaurants. She never expected Lin Chen's arrival to cost her so much!
However, when she saw the various delicious dishes on the table, her taste buds were deeply attracted. The colors, aromas, and flavors kept assaulting her stomach, making it impossible for her to resist.
"Just kidding! I've already paid the bill." Lin Chen placed the dishes in front of her. "Eat up, it's almost dinner time. I can't finish it all by myself. It would be such a waste."
Hearing this, Su Yanan breathed a sigh of relief. She made an excuse for herself, sat down, and picked up her chopsticks. However, once she started tasting the delicious food, she couldn't stop.
Looking at her round belly, Su Yanan's taste buds were still savoring the delicious food she had just enjoyed. However, she also felt troubled. Looking at the empty plates, she couldn't believe she had eaten so much!
She started to worry about how much exercise she would have to do to burn all those calories. More importantly, she felt incredibly embarrassed in front of Lin Chen.
"Looks like the food at this hotel is pretty good," Lin Chen said with a smile. "Go wash the dishes and digest your food." After saying that, he ignored her and left the table to go to his bedroom.
Watching Lin Chen's retreating figure, Jiang Jiahan wrinkled her nose. "Not gentlemanly at all," she muttered, but a strange warmth welled up in her heart.
While washing the dishes, Su Yanan glanced down at her slightly protruding belly, and a ripple of emotion stirred within her. She then jolted and decided to take some action.
However, a thought quietly surfaced in her mind, making her wonder: Could Lin Chen really be a hidden tycoon? How could he spend thousands of dollars on a single meal without batting an eye?
As the bedroom door closed softly, Lin Chen disappeared behind it, leaving only the faint light of the computer screen flickering in the night. He skillfully typed on the keyboard, and Liu Tiantian's contact information appeared before his eyes. Since the Su Yanan route was temporarily blocked, he decided to take matters into his own hands and unravel the mystery himself.
Unfortunately, Liu Tiantian seems to have vanished into thin air, not answering phone calls or replying to WeChat messages, leaving everyone baffled.
Meanwhile, Su Yanan had already washed the mess of dishes on the table. She glanced at the clock on the wall; it was only 6:30, still early in the night. Her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Lin Chen's bedroom, her heart filled with mixed emotions. If it weren't for that awkward scene that day, she would have knocked on his door without hesitation.
But now, she hesitated, worried that her appearance might cause him to misunderstand. However, the doubts in her heart grew wildly, eager for Lin Chen to answer them, and he, too, longed to be honest with her.
Su Yanan stood up, carefully examined herself in the mirror, and gently straightened the hem of her clothes, trying to appear before Lin Chen in the most perfect state. She took a deep breath, took firm steps, and deliberately put on a serious expression, as if she was about to conduct an important business negotiation.
As she approached Lin Chen's door, about to knock, the door quietly opened. Lin Chen's figure unexpectedly came into view. She instinctively turned to leave, but then suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit. A bitter smile flashed across her face, inwardly regretting her unconscious action.
A faint smile appeared on Lin Chen's lips, but he quickly suppressed it, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.
“Miss Su, could you take me for a walk? I’ve just arrived in Lu Tian City and am not familiar with this place yet. I’d like to adapt to life here as soon as possible.” He broke the silence first.
"Oh, okay. It's your first time in Lu Tian City, and you don't know anyone here. I'll show you around. But you have to stay close to me! I won't be responsible if you get lost." Although Su Yanan said it lightly, her steps as she turned to go back to her room seemed a little hurried.
Lin Chen sat on the sofa in the living room, his gaze fixed on the television, which was still on, quietly waiting for Su Yanan to return. He had thought the wait would be short, but unexpectedly, it lasted for half an hour.
He couldn't help but wonder to himself, why does changing clothes take so long? Although he was curious, he ultimately suppressed the urge to find out.
Finally, after another ten minutes, Su Yanan appeared in his sight. She had changed into a brand new trendy and sexy outfit, her hair draped over her shoulders, her bare shoulders completely exposed to Lin Chen's view. Along with that, her long, white legs were also exposed.
She was still wearing those big funhouse glasses, exuding a unique and beautiful goddess aura.
"Stop looking, go shopping first, I'll let you see as much as you want when we get back!" Su Yanan's ambiguous and teasing voice rang out again, making Lin Chen quite embarrassed.
Su Yanan walked ahead, with Lin Chen close behind. They entered the most bustling central district of Lu Tian City, a gathering place for the wealthy, filled with a dazzling array of high-end consumer venues. The cars on the road were noticeably more luxurious than those in other areas, with imported vehicles being a common sight.
As Lin Chen walked, he suddenly spotted several familiar faces, as if they had given outstanding performances in many TV dramas. He thought they would just pass by, but unexpectedly, one of the celebrities took the initiative to walk over, his gaze fixed on Su Yanan.
"Manager Su, hello." He greeted her respectfully, bowing very low.
Su Yanan simply nodded, offering no further pleasantries. The celebrity glanced at Lin Chen following behind Su Yanan, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes, but refrained from asking further questions due to the difference in their status.
This scene left Lin Chen somewhat taken aback. Although he had heard about Lu Tiancheng's habits before—because the entertainment industry there was highly developed, competition was fierce, and there was intense competition among celebrities—they relied heavily on agents to find good resources for them. Therefore, even established stars would still treat their agents with great respect.
Seeing this scene in person still feels somewhat unbelievable. A celebrity proactively greeting their company's agent is a rare sight indeed.
Su Yanan is a renowned top agent in the entertainment industry, and her background is far from simple. Having previously worked for Yang Xiaomi, and now a key figure under Kikutaro, her position is naturally not to be underestimated.
Similar incidents were commonplace along the way.
Women always have a special fondness for shopping. They may seem delicate and weak on ordinary days, but once they step into a shopping mall, they become incredibly energetic, as if they've been recharged.
Su Yanan and Lin Chen strolled between various high-end shopping malls and specialty stores, enjoying the pleasure of shopping. Initially, Su Yanan remained indifferent to Lin Chen, but as time went on and her shopping bags piled up, she had to ask Lin Chen for help. The shopping process, it seemed, inadvertently diluted her "prejudice" against Lin Chen.
As they strolled around, Su Yanan's gaze unconsciously drifted towards the men's clothing section. Looking at the strikingly stylish clothes, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a little excited. After all, everyone loves to look good, and who doesn't want to dress smartly?
While at school, Lin Chen always kept a low profile, and his clothing was mostly casual. But after arriving in Lu Tiancheng, a city obsessed with entertainment, he realized that he needed to change his style to adapt to future development plans.
So, Su Yanan began the process of choosing clothes for Lin Chen. She carefully selected each item, letting Lin Chen try them on until she found the one that best suited him. When Lin Chen walked out of the fitting room in a formal suit, Su Yanan's eyes lit up, and the sales assistant next to her couldn't help but cast an approving glance.
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Lin Chen proudly twirled around in front of Su Yanan, showing off his new image.
