Chapter 61: Chapter 61: 061 What brother and sister, my ass!

Shi Lan didn’t put on any makeup, completely bare-faced, she casually threw on a black dress and headed up to the rooftop.

The rooftop of the Lanting Hotel was an aerial swimming pool, and a small part of it had been turned into an observation restaurant. At this moment, there were only Yan Shixiu and Director Tang.@@novelbin@@

“That kid An Lan has some real acting talent, plus she’s got a strong backbone. It’s been so many years since I’ve seen such an actor,” Director Tang praised while drinking, “You really found a gem there.”

Yan Shixiu didn’t speak, occasionally raising his hand for a toast with Director Tang.

By the time An Lan reached the top floor, Director Tang was already tipsy, still lucid, but his cheeks were flushed.

In contrast, Yan Shixiu was his usual immaculately dressed self. Seeing Shi Lan, he crooked his finger, “Come here.”

Shi Lan rolled her eyes. If it weren’t for the thought of foie gras, she would not sacrifice her sleep just to watch two stinky men drink at night.

A moment later, Shi Lan took a seat beside Yan Shixiu with utmost naturalness, took the cutlery he handed her, and started eating with both hands right away.

Seeing this, Director Tang laughed, “So unruly.”

“Director Tang, eating with manners is just tiring, isn’t it?”

“I never see you following the rules with President Yan,” Director Tang said and then took another gulp of his drink.

“Director Tang doesn’t know, the method to deal with Chengyu was An Lan’s suggestion,” Yan Shixiu suddenly mentioned with a tone of immense pride.

Director Tang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shi Lan in shock, “Her? It was her?”

Shi Lan was focused on eating her foie gras, paying no mind to the two drunkards.

Unexpectedly at this moment, Director Tang suddenly slapped the table and burst into laughter, “So, Chengyu took such a big fall this time thanks to you? It’s my first time dealing with an influencer like this. President Yan didn’t see Chengyu’s crying scene this afternoon, but I must say, this strategy is simply brilliant. Now we’ll see who else dares to act up in my team.”

“I can imagine.” Yan Shixiu didn’t hide his appreciation for Shi Lan at all. As he spoke, he also took away Shi Lan’s glass of wine, “No filming tomorrow?”

“What’s it to you?”

“Don’t be like this, you two really look like bickering siblings,” Director Tang chimed in.

“Hmm, a brother caring for his sister is only natural,” President Yan unmercifully took away Shi Lan’s glass of wine and replaced it with warm water.

Shi Lan: “…”

Brother and sister, my ass!

Shi Lan didn’t know what Yan Shixiu had said to Director Tang that led him to a wrong interpretation of a sleazy man’s intention. Actually, this was good too, since it reduced unnecessary misunderstandings. Nonetheless, Shi Lan still stepped on Yan Shixiu’s foot under the table, take that for being flirtatious!

President Yan took the kick without changing his expression, and seeing Miss Shi’s resentful look brought him pleasure.

Shi Lan glared at Yan Shixiu, then gracefully put her cutlery down and said to the two men, “I’ve lost my appetite, please enjoy your meal.”

“Right, get some rest early after you go down,” Yan Shixiu replied without making it difficult for her.

Shi Lan stood up, pushing her chair back, grabbed her phone, and left. However, she had only just left the stairs when she received a WeChat message from Yan Shixiu, it was a voice note, thirty seconds long.

Shi Lan pressed play and then brought the phone to her ear. Yan Shixiu’s voice came through but it was not the usual coldness; this time, his tone had a warm hue, unbearably gentle.

It was a very soft and gentle English song. At the end, he added one more thing, Goodnight.

When Yan Shixiu spoke English, it was a very pure British accent, extremely soothing to listen to, making Shi Lan replay it several times.
