In a pristine, quiet restaurant.
Lin Fan and Wu Huan Yue were sitting at a quiet corner of the place.
Wu Huan Yue was considered a celebrity now. Although she wasn’t like the other huge celebrities, she would still be recognized when she went out anywhere. To prevent any disturbance that night, she decided to take the corner table to be a little more inconspicuous.
At that moment, Wu Huan Yue was a little anxious but was, at the same time, bubbling with excitement. Her snow white complexion had a little blush, and her fingers twiddled with each other, “Brother Lin, I think we’ve known each other for about four months already.”
“Yeah, time passes really fast. Just then you were just a fresh grad. If it weren’t for Wang Ming Yang, we would never have met,” Lin Fan said, chuckling.
“Brother Lin, I always wanted to thank you for helping me, but I’ve never had the chance,” Wu Huan Yue said.
“Eh, it’s nothing really, just a slight effort. You getting where you are today is really due to your hard work,” Lin Fan said, smiling. Of course, he was being a little humble. If it weren’t for the songs that he wrote, Wu Huan Yue would have had a much harder time.
Of course, he also knew that Wu Huan Yue was someone who was determined. No matter how long the working hours, she hardly ever took a break.
At this moment, the waiter brought their food over disrupting their conversation.
“Enjoy.”
Both of them nodded their heads. After the waiter had served them, he turned and walked off.
“Hehe,” Wu Huan Yue giggled sweetly, causing Lin Fan to be perplexed.
“What’s up?” Lin Fan looked at her puzzled.
“Nothing much. I just feel so blessed today, as if the goddess of luck is has been with me all this while,” Wu Huan Yue said.
“That’s a major misconception. It wasn’t the goddess of luck that has been taking care of you all this while, but me, Brother Lin,” Lin Fan said, thick-skinned.
Wu Huan Yue covered her mouth, laughing. “That’s so narcissistic, but honestly speaking, you really are the male god of luck to me.”
“Male god?” Lin Fan ran his hands across his face, a little narcissistic. “You’re really good at complimenting me, but you must continue to work hard. When I become the emperor of heaven, you better not embarrass me,” Lin Fan said.
“When have I ever? I will work hard, for the sake of not embarrassing you.” Wu Huan Yue said, giving him a thumbs up.
Both of them continued eating and talking.
For Wu Huan Yue, she felt like she was on cloud nine today because she had never eaten a meal with Lin Fan alone, and today was the first.
At this moment, Lin Fan realized that Wu Huan Yue was staring at his food. “What up? Why are you staring at me?” Lin Fan asked, puzzled.
“Brother Lin, don’t you move,” Wu Huan Yue said. Thereafter, standing up, her hands holding on to a napkin, her head extending forward as she leaned forward.
Because the table was a little wider than usual, Wu Huan Yue had to bend forward, her hips thrusting backward.
The scenery was completely different, with her bending forward, face to face with Lin Fan.
At the same moment where she bent forward, the collar of her dress weighed downwards, and the scenery on the inside was in plain view.
A field of white with a red mountaintop.
Lin Fan started blushing. He tried not to look, but it was in plain sight and impossible to look away. At the same moment, a subtle fragrance wafted as her silky smooth hair flowed downwards, with the light filtering at the edges of her hair. The sight of that would have moved any men.
“You have a sesame seed next to your mouth,” Wu Huan Yue said, taking her napkin to wipe his face. Thereafter, she sat down, her face looking the same as ever. She knew what Brother Lin had seen, and she had willingly let him see it.
In her line of work, she had so many social functions to attend, and she knew full well which ones would expose more skin than the rest. She didn’t block anything for Brother Lin, because she wanted only Lin Fan to see it.
And behold, Brother Lin had seen it, and he was so shy about it.
This was the first time she saw Lin Fan so bashful.
She could have never imagined it if she never saw it herself.
Lin Fan lightly coughed, his gaze adverting to one side, pretending to take something. “Huan Yue, please don’t wear something too revealing next time. It isn’t good.”
“Well, If Brother Lin doesn’t like this, I won’t wear it next time,” Wu Huan Yue said, grinning from ear to ear.
Lin Fan felt that what he had said wasn’t quite right, as if he was acting like her boyfriend, stating his likes and dislikes about her dressing. This wasn’t right.
“No please, it’s just an opinion. If you like it, you should continue wearing it. Just make sure you don’t expose yourself the next time.
Wu Huan Yue grinned, nodding her head. She didn’t say anything after that. She definitely wouldn’t wear that dress if she weren’t going out with Lin Fan- it was such a hassle to put on and it was really easy to expose herself in that dress. Since she was going out with Lin Fan to have dinner that day, she decided to wear her most charming and beautiful dress.
“Brother Lin, I’ll go to the washroom for a while,” Wu Huan Yue said, getting up from her seat.
Lin Fan nodded.
In the washroom!
Wu Huan Yue looked in the mirror while washing her hands. “Come on, you can do this! This is a very good start.”
Just at this moment, the unbelievable happened.
Ying Jing.
Wu Huan Yue was stunned. Of all the people, this was the last person she expected to see in Shanghai.
This couldn’t be it- wasn’t Ying Jing in the Capital City? Suddenly, she remembered that the Shanghai Satellite TV Network had organized a singing competition and had invited Ying Jing to be one of the judges.
The pay was high.
It was almost thirty million dollars.
When Ying Jing saw Wu Huan Yue, her happy face instantly changed, turning severe and serious.
She didn’t have any enmity with Wu Huan Yue, but she had something against the other guy, especially with that photo which had gone viral after circulating online.
Although she had appeared on the news in the lead story, it wasn’t a news that she wanted to be in.
“Humph!” Ying Jing snorted, as she washed her hands in the basin next to Wu Huan Yue.
“One must be self-aware, don’t think that just because you have a better song in this circle that you’ll become more famous,” Ying Jing said, talking to herself. However, Wu Huan Yue knew that those words were for her.
By any rights, Wu Huan Yue knew that she should be calling Ying Jing teacher, but she was on Lin Fan’s side and knew that Brother Lin had enmity with her. If she called Ying Jing teacher, that would be a big disgrace to Brother Lin.
Wu Huan Yue didn’t say anything. After drying her hands, she turned and left.
“Stand still. How rude of you. Don’t you know how to greet a teacher?” Ying Jing said.
Wu Huan Yue just muttered an “Oh” before walking off, not turning back to look.
Ying Jing marched forward in anger after hearing Wu Huan Yue’s lackluster reply. She grabbed Wu Huan Yue’s hands and spun her around and with her other hand, slapped her. “This is to teach you how to respect your seniors. Don’t think that just because you have some success that you can forget hows to respect your seniors. Do you want to die?”
“Humph!”
Ying Jing turned around and left after snorting at Wu Huan Yue.
Wu Huan Yue stood there, still trying to process what had happened, battling the tears that were welling up in her eyes.
“Wu Huan Yue, you have to be strong. This is the first time you are on a date with Brother Lin, you cannot ruin this.”
After taking a deep breath, Wu Huan Yue walked out of the washroom.
The water that walked past her was in a daze.
