Dinner with Tang Ruanqing (1)
The filming plan for Yunnan ended as scheduled. After boarding the return flight, the group heaved a sigh of relief.
Liao Ran had been sizing up Shan Yatong intentionally or unintentionally since boarding the plane. This time, her gaze wasn’t as teasing as before, but rather a thoughtful one. Her long eyelashes concealed all the emotions in her eyes.
Amongst the group, a few of them could sense that something was wrong with Liao Ran. Even though this woman would always say something that would make people confused or shocked, no one would really underestimate this young woman. After all, having such a high status in the industry wasn’t only because of her wealth. Her talent and her eye for people weren’t to be underestimated. It was just that it was always easy for people to forget when she was playing around. But once she calmed down, it would immediately wake people up. This person was a gold-plated screenwriter, not a carefree young lady.
Under Liao Ran’s affectionate gaze, Shan Yatong didn’t open his eyes. He had been resting with his eyes closed ever since the plane took off.
The group didn’t talk. Luo Yi, who was sitting beside Xiao Qishen, glanced at Shan Yatong, who had barely spoken today. His eyes were clearly dead, but he didn’t say anything in the end. However, he knew that Xiao Chengyu had already canceled the plan to expose those photos. The photos where Shan Yatong had leaned against Xiao Qishen when he was carsick were enough to ruin Xiao Qishen’s reputation.
He didn’t know what kind of sore spot this artist, Shan Yatong, had caught Xiao Chengyu for giving up such a huge opportunity. It was probably something worse than the photos he had taken.
By the time Shan Yatong woke up, the person sitting beside him had already turned into Liao Ran. His gaze quietly fell on the smiling Liao Ran and he didn’t say a word.
Liao Ran wasn’t surprised by his expression. She just lowered her voice and said with a smile, “Last night, one of my earrings fell off, so I went back to look for it.”
“Did you find it?” Shan Yatong calmly asked.
“It’s a pity that I couldn’t find it. However, I saw a good show and it wasn’t a loss.” Liao Ran chuckled. “I just didn’t expect a little white fox to be so powerful.”
Shan Yatong said to the flight stewardess, “Miss, give me a cup of water. Thank you.” He retracted his gaze. “Miss Liao, if you say it like that, I would think that you’ve gone crazy writing a script. In this world, how can there be a real fox? You’re just a master and a servant1Possibly means there are people who are superior to others, or others being inferior towards other people. Like Yatong could intimidate that assistant because he has power.” He smiled. “I’m going to charge you next time.”
“How stingy.” Liao Ran pouted, but she quickly returned to normal. She leaned her head against Shan Yatong’s shoulder and whispered into his ear, “Don’t interfere in their affairs. Xiao Chengyu is a tiger, and Xiao Zimo isn’t necessarily a little white rabbit. Although I don’t like to care about these family matters, the Xiao family is far more complicated than you and I can imagine. No matter what weakness you have in Xiao Chengyu, you don’t have a backer. In the end, it’s you who will suffer.”
Shan Yatong wasn’t stupid, so he understood that Liao Ran was trying to remind him. He lowered his eyes and said, “I don’t want to interfere in anyone’s matters. I just don’t want anyone to trouble me.” He looked at his fair palm. “Why are you helping me?”
“Because you’re a world-class queen,” said Liao Ran with a beaming smile.
“Mr. Shan, your water,” the flight stewardess politely handed the cup to Shan Yatong.
“Thank you.” Shan Yatong took the cup and looked sideways at Liao Ran. “I thought I would be an elegant assailant in your eyes.”
“Pfft!” Liao Ran was delighted when she heard this. She didn’t expect Shan Yatong to have such a side. She reached out and patted his shoulder. “The queen is more suitable for you. I believe that my judgment is right.”
The conversation between the two was very quiet. The people around them didn’t know what they were talking about, but their conversation made people feel that the two were too intimate. There was an indescribable ambiguity. For a moment, they had their own thoughts.
Sibling love?! This was everyone’s suspicion in their hearts.
Yang Jun facepalmed helplessly. No wonder Miss Liao wanted to change seats with him. It turned out that she actually liked this fox Shan Yatong, but didn’t she know that this fox had been hidden by Heavenly King Xiao? Thinking of this, Yang Jun turned his head to look. Sure enough, he saw the frosty Heavenly King Xiao. His back turned cold and he quickly retracted his gaze. Yang Jun didn’t see anything and didn’t know anything.
In fact, Xiao Qishen’s expression had turned extremely ugly when Liao Ran whispered in Shan Yatong’s ear. He could swim in the sea of vinegar this time, and he might drown in it.
When Luo Yi saw Xiao Qishen’s current state, he already understood in his heart that this Second Young Master of the Xiao family had probably fallen in love with Shan Yatong. Otherwise, why would he lose his composure at this moment and not worry that others would see through his thoughts? Recalling Shan Yatong’s performance last night, he shivered. Those who liked this young man were all asking for trouble, scheming deeply. This point alone was unbearable. He really didn’t know what the Xiao family’s Second Young Master liked about him. Could it be because of his pretty face or his usual harmless appearance?
When they got off the plane, their respective agencies came to pick them up. It was Lu Fan and Xie Xun who came to pick up Shan Yatong and Xiao Qishen. Fortunately, the filming crew had done a good job of keeping secrets. There were no fans to pick them up. Otherwise, the place would have been in chaos.
Shan Yatong turned his head to look at Luo Yanqian, who had already been led into the car by Xia Xichuan. He silently followed Lu Fan’s car.
When he arrived at the company, Xiao Qishen was hurriedly taken away by Xie Xun. Shan Yatong yawned lazily and slowly walked down the aisle of Sky Crown. As for Lu Fan, he was already busy doing something. It seemed like he was helping him get through a commercial for a well-known foreign brand of perfume for men. He didn’t care too much about it. When Shan Yatong met the man in the black suit around the corner, he smiled. “Chairman Tang.”
