Early the next morning, Ling Fan glanced at the beautiful woman still asleep beside him and gently pulled her exposed arm back under the covers.
He then cautiously got out of bed, got dressed, and turned to look at Li ngying on the bed, figuring she wouldn't wake up until well after dawn after a night of passion. It reminded him of Zhao Zilong of Changshan, who had fought his way in and out seven tis at the Changban Slope in the Three Kingdoms!
Official Ling slipped into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the ladies, left a note, and then hurried off to the airport.
...
At noon, a passenger plane slowly landed at Danyang City Airport.
Outside Danyang City Airport, a handso man and a beautiful woman stood by the roadside. It was Ling Fan and Shangguan Yue.
"Should we take a taxi?" Ling Fan asked.
"No, wait a mont. I've notified my bestie to pick up. She's probably stuck in traffic!" Shangguan Yue adjusted her sunglasses and looked around.
"Beep beep!"
"Get in, get in. It's jam-packed!" Just then, a Porsche pulled up in front of them. The passenger-side window rolled down to reveal a stunningly beautiful face.
Seeing this, Ling Fan's eyes lit up. Surely, a beauty knows other beauties—it must be a fellow star from the circle!
However, the beauty seed a little nervous upon seeing Ling Fan, though he didn't notice these nuances.
After helping Shangguan Yue load her luggage into the trunk, he got into the back seat.
Shangguan Yue originally intended to sit in the passenger seat, but thinking it might be impolite, she chose to sit next to Ling Fan instead.
If it was the Ling Fan she didn't know before, she probably wouldn't have cared much about this guy. However, having spent the plane ride getting to know him better, her initial reserve had lessened considerably.
"Ling Fan, let introduce you. This is my dear bestie, the top star of Kaihuang Entertainnt, Li Shishi. Her fa isn't lower than mine. Maybe you'd like to scout her!" Shangguan Yue joked with a chuckle.
Indeed, the bestie who ca to pick them up was Li Shishi, who had been eager to et Ling Fan back in Binzhou.
She had planned to go with Shangguan Yue but had to return ho quickly due to a family ergency, so they didn't et in Binzhou.
Li Shishi was originally from Danyang too, and her family was quite well-to-do, neither rich nor poor, about average for Danyang.
She and Shangguan Yue had started out as extras at Cinema City, and after getting to know each other, they surprisingly discovered they both hailed from Danyang.
Their relationship had remained strong since then. Discovered by talent scouts, they had both made it to the top tier, which counted as a lovely success story.
For the first ti observing Ling Fan up close, Li Shishi felt both nervous and excited.
Upon hearing that she too was a big star, potentially recruitable, Ling Fan imdiately grew spirited.
"Ahem, hello, I'm Ling Fan, Deputy Director of the Tianyun Security Departnt. If you're interested, you could consider joining us. Everything is negotiable, and we offer competitive terms!" Ling Fan introduced himself politely.
Shangguan Yue, "...."
Li Shishi, "...."
Shangguan Yue was speechless because she had only been teasing, yet he took it seriously, and it seed to be the sa line he used when they first t!
Li Shishi was at a loss for words because she didn't know how to respond. In fact, she was doing quite well at Kaihuang and hadn't thought about switching companies!
If she wasn't familiar with Ling Fan, she would have rejected the offer outright. But, after witnessing Ling Fan's formidable presence at the Xinghua Banquet, how could she dare to refuse so lightly?
This man was the one who didn't hesitate to take down the Prince of Hua Yi in a disagreent. While Li Shishi was wrestling with her thoughts, Ling Fan seed to sense her dilemma.
He chuckled, "No rush, no rush. If you ever consider changing companies, think of first. Although Tianyun is newly established, we still have so strength!"
Official Ling began to tout his own agency's signature products to Li Shishi, while Shangguan Yue beside him didn't know what to say anymore, sensing that the guy was actually quite serious.
"Mm-hmm, Young Master Ling, rest assured, if I ever consider switching companies, I promise to think of Tian Yun first!" Li Shishi quickly replied.
"Hehe, I'll rember your words, and you're not allowed to go back on them when the ti cos!" Ling Fan chuckled.
This guy, seeing his successful pitch, felt quite proud of his business acun and thought that poaching a few celebrity artists couldn't be that hard!
How co it seed so difficult for Xiao Chubing and the others to sign a few artists? Official Ling pondered for a long ti but couldn't figure it out.
In the end, he concluded that his abilities were just too strong, and, maybe, his male charm was too irresistible!
Ling Fan, having achieved his goal, leaned against the car window and fell silent. After all, he was an outsider and didn't want to prattle on endlessly and risk being annoying.
Li Shishi was driving and glanced at Ling Fan through the rearview mirror, feeling that this guy didn't seem as terrible as she thought, and was actually quite approachable.
A brief silence filled the car, and Shangguan Yue felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Turning to Li Shishi, she said, "By the way, your uncle was in a rush to have you co ho the other day, he said your aunt was hospitalized. Is she okay?"
Li Shishi beca irritated upon hearing this.
"Don't even ntion it, it's so annoying. They actually tead up to trick . There was nothing wrong, just a ploy to get to co back for a blind date. It's absolutely infuriating!" Li Shishi said sullenly.
Ling Fan, sitting in the back, chuckled at her words, "So, even you big stars are forced into marriage, huh?"
Shangguan Yue actually was quite familiar with Li Shishi's situation, "Is it still the sa person as before?"
"Yes, just because he's got so stinky money, he thinks he's sothing. Isn't it just a bit of power? As if I care!
The main issue is those relatives of mine, so annoying. I'm so unlucky. I told my mom to lessen contact with them, but she wouldn't listen. They're all teaming up to push their own daughter into a pit!
What kind of parents do that? They can't even distinguish between closeness and distance!" Li Shishi grew more and more angered as she spoke.
Shangguan Yue sighed, "Uncle and Auntie actually have your best interests at heart, hoping you could marry into a wealthy family and enjoy a carefree life as a lady of leisure in the future!"
"Forget it, I'm not short of money. Is being a wealthy lady that easy? I don't crave it at all!" Li Shishi held a disdainful view.
Ling Fan, listening from the back, nodded silently, not expecting Shangguan Yue, her best friend, to see through things so clearly!
"I didn't expect it, but you do seem to have a good perspective on things. You'll definitely et soone you like in the future!" Ling Fan encouraged her.
Li Shishi's eyes suddenly lit up at his words.
She pondered, "So, do you really want to poach ?"
Ling Fan was taken aback, "What do you an?"
"You do a favor, pretend to be my boyfriend temporarily, help fend off this marriage arrangent, and I'll agree to join Tian Yun. How about that? It should be easy for you, right?" Li Shishi said with so anticipation.

Ling Fan, "...."
This guy was sowhat frightened, involuntarily recalling the previous incidents where he had to pretend to be soone's boyfriend. Liu Yuqiong wasn't much of a problem, but thinking back on He Jiayi still gave him a headache.
He was afraid of ssing up and experiencing another event like the one with He Jiayi.
However, upon further thought, He Jiayi was young and her feelings were just beginning to bud, and her age and unsettled temperant explained her impulsiveness!
People like Liu Yuqiong and Li Shishi, all adults, wouldn't cause the kind of farcical situation that happened before. It seed that he should avoid casual chats with young girls in the future.
Having thought it through, he pondered, "Well... let think about it!"
