Chapter 34: Chapter 034: I Will Get Along with Him Peacefully Chapter 34: Chapter 034: I Will Get Along with Him Peacefully Inside the black sedan.
Xiao Zhao shifted uncomfortably in his seat as if a hot iron was pressing against his buttocks.
The driver was someone else, and Liu Su was sitting in the passenger seat. He now asked, “Does Miss Shen need to rest for two days?”
Shen Yan fiddled with her phone and upon hearing this, she recalled the short message Qi Si had sent her, saying, “Let’s postpone other engagements for two more days.”
Previously, such a statement from Shen Yan would have been laughable.
However, after this latest live broadcast, her popularity had surged dramatically and was showing signs of becoming a sensation.
Her fan base had been growing continuously.
Even without Liu Su’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering, Star Language Media would capitalize on this momentum.
Before the show even finished, numerous brands had already extended their offers of collaboration, and Director Du, who was working on a romance show, had personally called to invite Shen Yan to participate in his next episode.
Since Shen Yan was already engaged, Liu Su would never allow her to participate in such variety shows.
After rejecting it once, Director Du had called Liu Su again today.
And Liu Su had directly refused once more.
Liu Su didn’t plan to tell Shen Yan about this.
“I will make a schedule for the upcoming engagements.”
“It’s fine if Uncle Liu decides, I trust Uncle Liu won’t make the wrong decision,” Shen Yan said, supporting her fair chin as she looked out the window at the passing scenery.
Liu Su felt a bit peculiar at this moment.
Had Miss Shen become too easygoing?
She still trusted him?
If this were a week ago, even he would have been berated harshly.
She could get really furious, even at him.
The current Shen Yan seemed so strange to Liu Su.
Undeniably, he liked this version of Shen Yan.
It was much less worrisome.
All the way to the hotel, Liu Su kept stealthily observing Shen Yan through the rearview mirror.

“Miss Shen, please rest well. Tomorrow morning, you’ll take a flight back to Shen City.”
In front of the hotel room, Liu Su directly told Shen Yan that she would be staying at Qi Si’s place tomorrow.
Shen Yan showed no reaction, “It’s late, Uncle Liu should go back and rest too.”
Xiao Zhao had been arranged in another room, so Shen Yan didn’t need to worry about it.
After opening the door to her room, she pushed a small suitcase inside, glanced at the relatively luxurious setting, turned on the air conditioner, took a shower, and then heavily lay on the bed almost falling asleep instantly.
The next day when she opened her eyes, Shen Yan was bathed in the light, feeling slightly warm.
It wasn’t that she was afraid of the dark and slept with the lights on, but rather, she preferred the light over darkness.
It was not as if she couldn’t manage without light; she didn’t have those sorts of petty issues.
There was a knock on the door.
Opening it to see Liu Su standing outside, Shen Yan stepped aside, “Please wait a moment, Uncle Liu.”
Seeing that Shen Yan was still in her pajamas, he didn’t dare to enter, “Miss Shen, please freshen up. We’ll wait in the restaurant on the third floor.”
Shen Yan nodded. She was quick with her morning rituals and didn’t make Xiao Zhao run an extra trip, taking her small suitcase herself to the third floor.
The third floor housed the hotel’s restaurant.
There were very few people dining at this time.
At a glance, she recognized everyone there!
The group she had parted with the previous night were all staying at this hotel.
This was the best hotel in the county and also the most secure.
It was no surprise that everyone was staying here.
“Shen Yan! What a coincidence, you’re staying at this hotel too,” Xu Zishen suddenly stood up to greet her.
Xu Zishen’s manager glanced at him and then slightly frowned, keeping quiet not to embarrass their client.
Although Shen Yan seemed to be on the brink of becoming popular, that’s just how the entertainment industry is, one second you’re a sensation, the next you’re snuffed out.
Some stars merely fizz out as soon as their moment passes.
So, whether Shen Yan could become famous was still an unknown.
The entertainment industry was not a place where one could succeed merely based on their looks.
And Shen Yan’s appearance revealed a lot of negatives…
Several agents did not want their artists to have too much contact with Shen Yan.
Just as Qin Dingyue had stood up, her agent held her back and gave her a warning look.
Shen Yan nodded to them, then seated herself in front of Liu Su, “Uncle Liu, good morning.”
“Miss Shen, good morning!”
“What time is the flight?”
“Nine o’clock. We’re not far from the airport, about fifteen minutes away, so Miss Shen can enjoy her breakfast slowly,” Liu Su handed Shen Yan a cup of lukewarm milk.
“Thank you!” Shen Yan stopped allowing this elder to serve her and pulled her own breakfast toward herself.
Xiao Zhao and the driver were mostly bowing their heads eating, not participating in the conversation between the two.
During breakfast, Shen Yan specifically glanced at Chu Jinghe sitting on the other side.
Chu Jinghe seemed somewhat quiet.
Thinking back to what Mu Jincheng had told her in the hospital, Shen Yan guessed something.
Chu Jinghe probably already knew Mu Jincheng’s true identity.
No matter how the plot unfolded, as long as it didn’t involve her, it had nothing to do with her.
*
At nine o’clock, they boarded the plane on time.
Liu Su had bought first-class tickets.
As soon as Shen Yan sat down, she saw Zhou Jingming sitting on the other side.
Their gazes met, and Zhou Jingming paused, then smiled, “Didn’t expect to be on the same flight as you.”
“It’s normal, we’re both heading to Shen City at this time,” Shen Yan wasn’t surprised.
Before boarding the plane, Liu Su had sent a message to Qi Si, telling him they were already on the plane.
Qi Si had little patience for his unruly fiancee, merely glanced at it, and did not reply to Liu Su.
Liu Su felt he needed to do something to ease their relationship, and turned around to see Zhou Jingming talking with Shen Yan.
His frown deepened.
How could there be another one?
Miss Shen like this in the entertainment industry, is indeed at a disadvantage.
With so many handsome young people in the entertainment industry, could Miss Shen, at such a young age, really handle it?
Liu Su suddenly felt very sympathetic towards Qi Si.
Fortunately, Shen Yan did not continue the conversation but took the eye mask Xiao Zhao handed her, covered her eyes, and leaned back without speaking.
Zhou Jingming glanced at Shen Yan’s slightly upturned white, beautifully contoured neck. Somehow, he suddenly felt a bit thirsty, turned around, picked up the water beside him, and gulped it down.
Shen Yan wasn’t sleeping, but was spacing out.
*
Three hours later.
Shen Yan stood at the exit, watching Zhou Jingming, fully guarded by his agent and assistant, walk out.
The fans who had come to pick him up surged forward frantically.
Shen Yan had no disguise, and given her current popularity, she didn’t expect any fans to come pick her up.
Xiao Zhao was arranged to leave first because Shen Yan was going back to Qi Si’s residence in Shen City, and so far, she hadn’t revealed her identity.
After a fallout with her family, she had harshly declared her intention to shine in the entertainment industry on her own.
And the original owner indeed did.
Only the direction of shining was a bit off.
“Our car is already waiting outside; we’ll go through the special passage,” Liu Su ended the call, turned back, and reached for the small suitcase in Shen Yan’s hand, but she pushed him away.
“I can do it myself.”
Liu Su’s eyes flickered, and he walked ahead, saying, “The master will only be home in the evening, Miss Shen…”
“I will get along with him,” Shen Yan cut him off before he finished, “I was too willful before. Now I’m determined to reform.”
Liu Su was slightly taken aback, then let out a long sigh of relief and smiled, “The family would definitely be happy to know this!”
Shen Yan made no comment.
