After Jiang Lan hung up the phone, he felt that there was something strange about Bai You.
If it was just a suspicion before, it was almost confirmed now. Bai You was a top star after all, and although he had helped him twice, it couldn’t be that he’d fallen in love with him at first sight, was it?
Bai You deliberately said those ambiguous words, as if he wanted to deliberately bring the two closer together.
However, Jiang Lan couldn’t be sure what Bai You wanted to do by approaching him.
So when Ying Qiao came over with breakfast, Jiang Lan told the story as if to take credit for it and looked particularly smug: “Bai You still wants to play ambiguously with me, but I’m not someone you can easily win over.”
The sense of wanting praise was particularly strong.
If Jiang Lan didn’t still want to find Bai You’s secrets, he would definitely say to him: Don’t try to flirt with me, it’s useless.
A handsome and gluttonous man like me is not someone you can just hook up with whenever you want.
He guessed Bai You must look very happy at that time.
It’s a pity that he hadn’t figured out his background yet, so he couldn’t expose him. Jiang Lan sighed with regret.
“What else did he say?” Ying Qiao’s face darkened and he pursed his lips unhappily.
“Nothing more.” Jiang Lan said proudly, “I told him I was going on a date with my boyfriend on Sunday and don’t have time to watch the concert, and then I hung up.”
He was a good man who didn’t leave any room for ambiguity, was family-oriented and had a sense of responsibility.
Well worth a reward of a kiss.
Ying Qiao’s expression brightened upon hearing this. So he rubbed his head and said, “You eat your breakfast. Try to have less contact with Bai You in the future. If he calls again, let me answer.”
Jiang Lan opened the package, took a look at the rich variety of breakfast, exclaimed “Wow,” and put a steamed bun in his mouth. His attention was immediately drawn to him, and he happily shared breakfast with his brothers. Ying Qiao’s words were then dealt with in a particularly perfunctory manner.
Ying Qiao was originally dissatisfied with his perfunctory attitude, but then he saw him slurping soy milk and eating a steamed bun after a few sips. It was obvious that he had forgotten about Bai You, and his whole mind was only on breakfast, so he had to shut up.
That’s fine. Bai You tried his best to get close to Jiang Lan, but he was still not as attractive as a breakfast.
When Ying Qiao thought about it, he felt relieved immediately.
After breakfast, the family of six including the three kids and Jiu Ding went out to play.
….
On the other side, after Bi Xi finished the meeting with the senior executives, he took Bi’an to inspect the new project site again.
The main person in charge of the new project knew that Bi Xi was coming to inspect and made preparations in advance. Chen Hua, as a partner, also came early to show his importance.
Whenever he was at work, he always looked very reliable and elite. His serious attire suppressed his overly gorgeous appearance, but it did not make him dull. Instead, it added a sense of distance that made him seem difficult to approach.
To put it simply, it was difficult to follow once you saw it.
Although Bi Xi had heard of Chen Hua’s name a long time ago, this was his first time meeting him. He looked at Chen Hua as he slowly walked towards him and said to Bi’an, “You have good taste.”
Bi’an was slightly pleased with himself: “Of course, he’s both pretty and capable, and it’s obvious he’s a perfect fit for the Dragon Palace.”
Otherwise, how could he have had a crush on him for so many years?
“Well, the premise is that you can catch the person.” Bi Xi said slowly.
Although he also thought Chen Hua was good, according to what he knew, his fourth brother still had a long way to go.
In just a few words, Chen Hua had already walked closer.
Bi Xi stopped the topic in time, walked over with a warm smile and greeted Chen Hua. The two shook hands, exchanged a few words, and then went together to inspect the progress of the new project.
Dragon Palace had previously collaborated with Yingqiao Company, but that was just a small trial run. The new project represented a deeper collaboration between the two companies. If the collaboration went well, this project alone could generate 20% of the previous profits. As both a shareholder in spirit and in reality, Chen Hua attached great importance to this project.
So even if Bi’an suddenly appeared among the leaders of the Dragon Palace, he would endure it.
As long as it didn’t prevent him from making money, everything was fine.
During the visit, he served as Bi Xi’s guide, ensuring Bi Xi fully understood the prospects of the new project and their commitment to cooperation. As Bi Xi’s companion, Bi’an was unusually quiet, adding only a few words occasionally.
Bi Xi was particularly easy to talk to. Not only did he not find fault or make things difficult during the visit, he even offered a lot of useful suggestions.
The process went much smoother than Chen Hua had originally expected.
He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that not everyone in the Dragon Palace was as sarcastic and liked to stir up trouble as Bi’an.
Bi Xi was very easy to communicate with, and Jiang Lan and the others also had nice personalities.
Now it seemed that the problem was not with the Dragon Palace, but that Bi’an was incompatible with the entire Dragon Palace. He couldn’t help but glance at Bi’an, thinking that Bi’an might be a mutated freak species.
Noticing his gaze, Bi’an turned around, tried to put on a gentle expression, and smiled at him.
The book said: When facing your loved one, you must be as gentle as water. No one can withstand the attack of gentleness.
“???”
What evil scheme is Bi’an planning again? Why is he smiling so twistedly?
Chen Hua was slightly on guard and looked at him vigilantly, giving him a standard polite smile.
I advise you to stop causing trouble.
Bi’an felt a little disappointed at not getting a warm response. But then he thought, at least Chen Hua had smiled at him instead of rolling her eyes or pretending not to see, which was already progress.
Thinking of this, Bi’an was suddenly full of fighting spirit again.
The book recommended by Ying Gou was actually somewhat useful. Bi’an decided that he would basically read the rest of it and try to understand it thoroughly.
….
After touring the entire project site, it was already noon. Bi Xi looked at the time and suggested that they should go for a quick lunch together.
Today’s meeting was very pleasant. And since Bi Xi was the client, Chen Hua had no reason to refuse.
The group thus drove to the nearest hotel.
In addition to Chen Hua, three core senior executives also went to dinner together.
There was no formality at the dinner table, and no business was discussed. Since they were all monsters, they had more common topics, so they drank and chatted about less serious topics.
One of the higher-ups, perhaps a bit drunk and emboldened by the alcohol, gossiped with a silly smile, “I recently heard a rumor that Ying Long and Taotie were brought together through a blind date, and that Yue Lao was the matchmaker. Is this true? Is Yue Lao really that powerful?”
The other two senior executives looked at him silently, wanting to give him a reminder out of camaraderie, but also unable to resist listening to gossip.
The ancient monsters and ordinary monsters like them were not in the same circle. This rumor had been circulating for a long time, and no one had been able to confirm it or refute it. However, Yue Lao took advantage of this favorable situation to sell a lot of red-thread couple bracelets. But no matter how the people who went to buy the bracelets asked, he just smiled and said nothing and only said some ambiguous words that could be understood in any way. He was very cunning.
As for those who asked the ancient monsters they knew, the stories they heard were all kinds of different. In short, each version was different.
Today, they finally had a chance outside of work to contact someone who had direct knowledge of the matter. So this drunk guy couldn’t help but be curious and asked about it at the dinner table.
As soon as the words were spoken, there was silence at the dinner table, and no one spoke for a long time.
Bi’an was the first to speak: “Blind date?”
How come he didn’t know???
When did Old Five and Ying Gou have a blind date???
The cubs in their Dragon Palace were not unsalable, so they shouldn’t have fallen to the point of blind dates, right?
Besides, how could Yue Lao, a mere human fairy, control the ancient monster?
It was outrageous.
He said firmly: “Of course it’s fake.”
But another voice, which sounded at the same time as his, said, “It’s true.”
Bi’an: !!!!!!
He glared over angrily but met Chen Hua’s surprised gaze.
Chen Hua: ???
Bi’an wouldn’t have just found out, would he? He’s Jiang Lan’s biological fourth brother, right?
However, the facts told him that it was true.
Because Bi Xi was obviously unaware of the situation, a pair of eyes were looking at him, as if waiting to hear his explanation.
“…”
Chen Hua was a little confused and once again questioned the brotherhood among dragons.
Such an important matter, and they didn’t even know about it???
Did he accidentally expose Jiang Lan’s secret?
Bi’an looked at him and asked, “Why do you say it’s true?”
Chen Hua laughed dryly, wanting to silence herself from a few minutes ago: “Did you hear wrong? I said ‘not really’.”
Bi’an narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Chen Hua, who was smiling very reluctantly, then looked at the three senior executives who were gossiping, and for the time being he just went along with what he said: “Really? I must have heard it wrong.”
After saying that, he called the waiter to pay the bill and glanced at the three senior executives with cold eyes.
After having enough to drink, you still want to watch a show. If you don’t leave now, you will lose your salary.
Three senior executives: …
They looked at each other, said goodbye and left reluctantly.
They then thought to themselves that the relationship between these ancient monsters was really complicated.
The fight will definitely be exciting later, but it’s a pity I can’t watch it live.
Chen Hua was the only one left in the box. He smiled and stood up: “Then I’ll leave first. Thank you for your hospitality today. No…”
“Why are you in such a hurry to leave?” Bi’an stepped forward and put his arm around his shoulders like a brother, but his smile was a little sinister. “You and Ying Gou are such good friends, so tell us what blind dates and matchmaking are all about? This is the first time we’ve heard of it.”
Chen Hua: …
Damn! Ying Gou set too many traps!
How much else have these two been hiding?
He was so panicked that he forgot to push away Bi’an’s hand on his shoulder, nor did he notice that Bi’an also called Ying Qiao “Ying Gou”.
If he had noticed it, he would surely cry to Bi’an with tears in his eyes about Ying Gou’s various misdeeds, criticize his humble social animal character, and then take the opportunity to escape.
Too bad he didn’t notice.
Special Assistant Chen, who had always been very reliable to the outside world, stood up straight under the gaze of the two huge mountains, Bi’an and Bi Xi, and dared not move or speak.
He felt helpless.
