Huayu: After meeting Aunt Liu, the host blocked the door.

Chapter 15 Today is a good day

Liu Xiaoli casually probed, "Wenbo, what does Qianqian want you to teach her?"

Chen Wenbo said helplessly, "I played with a sword for a while this morning, and she saw me and wanted me to teach her."

"Sisi just had a sudden whim; there's no need to teach her."

"Well, I felt it was a bit dangerous for the child to play with this, so I refused."

Liu Xiaoli didn't speak, but quietly looked into Chen Wenbo's eyes. The little tiger's gaze didn't waver at all, and his clear eyes reflected her image, making her feel much more at ease.

The daughter called Chen Wenbo, asking if he had eaten since it was mealtime. She said she would go to the film set tomorrow to keep an eye on him and not give the two of them a chance to be alone.

"Wenbo, did you say you were going to rent a place?"

"Yes, I'll be staying in Hengdian for a while, so I'll need to rent a place to live."

Although Liu Xiaoli was extremely reluctant, she couldn't let Chen Wenbo stay there that night; it was simply too dangerous, and they couldn't let what happened that morning repeat itself.

"That's true, you can't do without a place to stay. I'll go with you to look for a place after we finish eating."

Chen Wenbo quickly shook his head, "No need, Sister Li, you should rest. I can go by myself."

"No, I'll go with you. What kind of place do you, a man, know to rent?"

Young people like to make do, and Chen Wenbo has no money, so he might rent a small house. If Liu Xiaoli misses Little Tiger at night, how will she sleep there?

"It's just renting a place; I just sleep there at night."

"Listen to me, you need to get enough sleep, otherwise you won't have the energy to get through the next day."

"Sister Li, I'm worried about your feet."

"After we finish eating, you can apply it to my face again. Let's eat first."

……

On the set of "The Lotus Lantern," Shu Chang was eating rice, lost in thought about the scene of having dinner alone with Chen Wenbo that evening.

"Changchang, what are you thinking about?"

Yan Danchen sat down next to Shu Chang, but the little girl was lost in thought, her mind wandering off somewhere else.

"Ah, Sister Chen, I'm thinking about the scene this afternoon."

Having acted for several years, Shu Chang can say these words without hesitation.

"No wonder Changchang acted so well. She works so hard that she even thinks about work while eating."

Yan Danchen didn't expose the girl's lie, and the girl's ears turned red without her realizing it.

Shu Chang had no idea what this old woman was up to. "Sister Chen, don't praise me. I don't have any formal training, so I can only work harder."

"At your age, I haven't even filmed a single drama, while you've already starred in multiple series. Was that person you were with your boyfriend earlier?"

"No, we haven't known each other for very long. I just helped take him to Director Cao's audition."

Shu Chang quickly denied it, as it would be too embarrassing if such words got out. She was only sixteen years old; how could she have a boyfriend?

Jingle Bell!

Jingle Bell!

The phone call saved Shu Chang from her embarrassment. When she saw that it was Yi Fei calling, she gestured to Sister Chen and got up to go outside to answer the call.

Yan Danchen has found out the information she wanted. If she goes to audition with Assistant Director Cao at this time, she will at most get a minor role.

A promising actress would never associate with a lowly contract actor; such a handsome young man should be someone like her who makes a living within the system.

"Why is Sisi calling me at this time?"

"You brat, are you going out to dinner alone with Chen Wenbo tonight?"

Shu Chang didn't expect her best friend to find out so quickly, but it didn't matter. She could just brag about it. "Chen Wenbo is treating me to dinner. I don't have any scenes to film tonight, so I'm free."

"Dong Lili, you're only sixteen! You've been acting for so many years, and you're now a leading actress. Going out to dinner with an extra—aren't you ashamed?"

Shu Chang, not one to tolerate her best friend's behavior, immediately retorted, "And you call yourself a fairy goddess? You treated Chen Wenbo to hot pot the first time you met him, how dare you say that about me?"

"That's what he said he wanted to treat me to. Changchang, you don't have feelings for Chen Wenbo, do you? Let me tell you, men are all unreliable. Don't be fooled by appearances."

"It's okay, I won't lose out anyway. I'm still the one who benefits from the handsome guy's looks."

"Dong Lili, if you go out to dinner alone with Chen Wenbo tonight, I'll tell your cousin."

Shu Chang was unhappy. Her best friend was using this to blackmail her. "Fine, Liu Qianqian, we're best friends. You're betraying me, aren't you?"

"I don't want you to tell your cousin, but only if we go out to eat together."

"Liu Qianqian, your true colors are showing. I'm not afraid of you. You should ask Aunt Liu for her opinion first. Your mother won't agree to you having too much contact with handsome guys, haha."

"Don't get cocky. I'll be an adult next year, and my mom won't be able to control me then."

Her exasperated best friend hung up the phone, and Shu Chang smiled smugly. By next year, the handsome guy might already be her boyfriend, and then it would be too late.

……

In the VIP building, Chen Wenbo was tidying up the lunchboxes on the table when his phone rang again. After listening carefully, he was relieved to find that the ringtone wasn't his.

"Sissi".

"Mom, has the hotel delivered your food yet?"

Finally, her daughter remembered her, the patient. Liu Xiaoli smiled. "I've already taken her. How was your morning on set? Did anything happen?"

"No, we'll just film normally. Mom, is your foot feeling better now?"

Liu Xiaoli's smile vanished. "Much better. That guy who ate hotpot with us last night, what's his name, Chen something? Did he go to the film set?"

Liu Yifei was furious. It must have been Sister Zhang who snitched again. "He's here. I saw that he seemed to have left with Producer Cai."

"Then he must be Cai Yinong's man. Qianqian should have less contact with him in the future."

"Mom, why do you always think about other people?"

Liu Yifei was so angry that she hung up the phone. She felt like she was being weighed down by a mountain and had no freedom at all. She really envied that brat Changchang.

beep.

Chen Wenbo was a little embarrassed. This great demon, really, why bring him up out of the blue?

Liu Xiaoli felt uncomfortable. This girl didn't understand her mother's good intentions; it was all for her own good.

"Wenbo, I want to apply a foot compress."

Chen Wenbo firmly refused, "No, Sister Li, you just ate and you can't lie down. It's bad for your stomach."

"You can hold me."

"You shouldn't do strenuous exercise right after eating."

"Then help me walk around the room to aid digestion."

Liu Xiaoli was out of options. Now she was begging the little tiger, saying that he liked her mature side, but who knows what he really thought.

Chen Wenbo hesitated for a moment. Was this woman trying to use this trick to make him submit? "Sister Li, why don't I go rent a place first? You can rest for a while."

Liu Xiaoli thought it made sense; it would take forever to digest in the room. "Let's go check out the accommodations first, and we'll come back later."

"Let's apply an ice pack first, I'm afraid it will hurt again when you walk."

Seeing that the demon was very insistent, Chen Wenbo didn't refuse. He couldn't refuse his confidante's kindness, so this time he really did apply the foot treatment.
