"Actually, everyone is still hoping for you to co back and give us so guidance, senior. Is there a chance?"
What Luo Li’er said must be the heartfelt voice of the East University students.
Luo Peng was undeniably talented, charming, young, wealthy, and successful... even if it was a TV drama, he’d be the undisputed main character.
It’s just a pity.
Why was Jiang born if there was already Zhuge?
"There will be opportunities."
Jiang Chen was humble and low-key, not feeling proud at all.
Sigh.
That damned charm.
"Ti to eat."
Setting all the dishes on the table, Jiang Chen called out to the drama-chasing Tanki Liuli.
Girls like Tanki Liuli are really easy to take care of, not interested in shopping, don’t need costics, and have no pursuit of clothes or bags, just need a TV and so food.
What more can one ask for?
"Liuli, what brand of perfu are you wearing, it slls so good."
The guys sat on one side, the girls on the other.
Next to Tanki Liuli, Luo Li’er sniffed, hesitated for a long ti, but couldn’t resist asking the question she’d always wanted to ask.
Tanki Liuli held her chopsticks, her clear eyes revealing a hint of confusion.
"Sister Li’er, Sister Liuli didn’t use perfu, that’s her natural fragrance."
Opposite, the Martial Saint "secretly" remarked.
Actually, he was curious at first too; how could a Taoist use perfu?
Later he realized, Sister Liuli was naturally gifted.
Luo Li’er, enlightened, couldn’t help but sniff twice more.
Jiang Chen found it amusing.
Having spent so much ti with Daoist Sister, he unknowingly got used to this scent.
"There’s nothing to envy, you also have your own special qualities."
The Martial Saint quickly nodded, agreeing: "Yeah, Sister Li’er, you don’t look like a university student at all."
"Are you complinting or mocking ?"
The Martial Saint laughed awkwardly.
"Eat up."
Jiang Chen prompted, then shortly afterward, his phone rang.
Taking a look, it was Cui Heng.
He wasn’t too concerned and answered directly at the table.
"Mr. Jiang."
"Yes, what’s up?"
Cui Heng’s tone was very serious, even sowhat grave.
"Mr. Jiang, I just received news, so dia are claiming..."
"Claiming what?"
Jiang Chen continued, still unconcerned, but the following words from the top agent in the entertainnt circle left him feeling as if struck, his expression suddenly frozen.
"So dia claim Yun Xi is pregnant."
Yun Xi.
Pregnant.
Jiang Chen stayed silent for a while, receiving strange gazes from Luo Li’er, who was chatting with the Martial Saint.
"Since when?"
Jiang Chen’s tone imdiately turned serious, simultaneously glancing at Luo Li’er.
"Just a mont ago, I called Mr. Jiang as soon as I got the news."
"And..."
Jiang Chen opened his mouth, then realized it wasn’t the right place, "Hold on."
He pushed his chair back and stood up, "I’ll take a call."
Jiang Chen left the dining room, ensuring Luo Li’er and the others couldn’t hear or see him, then continued on the phone, with a stormy heart, asking: "Have you contacted Yun Xi?"
Still, concern brings confusion.
The other party had already said they called him imdiately.
But it’s understandable.
Pei Yunxi pregnant, it’s a shocking news that could shake the entire entertainnt industry, even crash the internet.
More importantly.
If Pei Yunxi is pregnant.
Who is the culprit?
Who was behind it?
Who could be the father of the child?!
mories of shared nights co to mind, calculating the ti, Jiang Chen felt he had an undeniable responsibility.
"Not yet."
Cui Heng said: "Mr. Jiang, at the mont the situation is still manageable, I’ve already contacted that dia."
CX Entertainnt is not anonymous, not just any dia can report as they please.
"But the key issue is whether Yun Xi really..."
Cui Heng stopped mid-sentence, but his implication was clear.
As a top agent in the entertainnt industry, he’s seen similar situations too many tis.
Why did he choose to report to Jiang Chen first?
Is it only because of the boss’s identity?
"I’ll contact her."
anwhile, Jiang Chen said: "No matter the thod, you must suppress the news."
"Understood."
After ending the call with Cui Heng, Jiang Chen held the phone and imdiately called Pei Yunxi.
But there was no answer.
The public always learns about any news last, and this is evident from Luo Li’er’s reaction.
No signs of anything unusual.
If the rumors had already exploded, how could she remain so calm?
With no one answering at the mont, Jiang Chen did not blindly continue dialing, he put away his phone and returned to the table.
"Senior, is everything okay?"
Luo Li’er asked with concern, thinking it was about his career.
"Everything’s fine."
Jiang Chen smiled, having to admire his composure, not everyone can remain unperturbed at such tis.
"Have you been in touch with your sister recently?"
He picked up his chopsticks, casually asking.
"Yes, I chatted with her just yesterday."
"When is Sister Yunxi coming back?" Martial Saint interjected.
At this mont, Jiang Chen had no mood to listen to this kid’s nonsense and continued to ask, "Is your sister doing well lately?"
Luo Li’er found it odd, "She’s doing great, uncle and aunt are quite happy, why?"
Just then.
Jiang Chen’s phone started ringing.
Pausing in his conversation, Jiang Chen took out his phone to see it was a call back from Pei Yunxi.
"I need to take this call."
He got up again.
"Is Senior always this busy?"
"Sister Li’er, actually Brother Jiang Chen is quite busy; n just love to act like it’s all okay, right, Sister Liuli."
Having accompanied a certain soone around the world, Tanki Liuli silently kept her head down to eat.
Jiang Chen nearly reached the door before he asked, "Is it convenient to talk?"
"Yes."
From the tone, very calm, without any emotional fluctuations.
"At ho?"
"Just finished dinner."
No wonder the call wasn’t answered earlier.
"Are uncle and aunt doing okay?"
"What’s going on?"
It’s Pei Yunxi who straightforwardly skipped the unnecessary steps.
Jiang Chen coughed lightly, "You..."
The other end patiently listened.
After a mont, he finally continued the sentence, "...how’s your health?"
After a silence, a voice erged from the other end.
"How do you know?"
Jiang Chen’s heart skipped a beat, his mind temporarily blank, expressions transforming unpredictably.
"Why didn’t you tell ?"
Forcing himself to calm his turbulent emotions, he swiftly questioned.
"Why should I tell you?"
Pei Yunxi’s tone remained calm as ever, but a hint of puzzlent could be detected.
Jiang Chen took a deep breath.
"Is this just your own matter?"
Imdiately, he continued questioning, "Do your parents know?"
"What do you an?"
"I’m booking a flight over right away."
Have to admit, Boss Jiang is quite determined, however Pei Yunxi’s response was rather cold.
"What are you coming over for?"
Jiang Chen gripped the phone firmly, not choosing a bottomless indulgence, and in a near stern tone said, "What do you think? Aren’t you going to let acknowledge this child?"
Child?
The other end.
Pei Yunxi who deliberately returned to her bedroom to make the call had a sudden blankness in her eyes.
"What child?"
"Aren’t you pregnant?"
"Who said I was pregnant?"
Jiang Chen was once again stunned.
"Cui Heng received information saying so dia discovered you are pregnant..."
Pei Yunxi remained silent for a while.
"I just caught a cold and went to the hospital."
"Not pregnant?"
Just like riding a roller coaster, but Jiang Chen dared not relax, he seriously stated, "About matters like this, you mustn’t lie."
"Do you need to send the hospital’s diagnosis record to you?"
Jiang Chen was speechless, utterly embarrassed.
Totally botched it.
Which damn dia fabricated this, definitely need to let Cui Heng sue them into bankruptcy!
For the first ti, the tolerant and gentle Jiang Chen was so furious.
"Of course, during this season flu is rampant, take care of your health. That’s all, I’ll let you get on with your work."
Embarrassed beyond description, soone hurriedly hung up the phone.
Pei Yunxi slowly put down the phone, her beautiful face remained cool, but suddenly broke into a spontaneous laugh.
"Were you acting?"
In the bedroom, a monologue sounded.
