Chapter 256 - Bring Her Closer, a Little at a Time (2/2)

She was all sweaty and sticky, but she felt all empty on the inside.

After showering, she realized that Old Master was looking all smiley.

Upon seeing her, he said, “Nian Nian, I’ve already settled the paperwork for your enrollment—Guang City Theatrics Academy, Performance course, Year One.”

Li Beinian was shocked. “When was that?”

Old Master Li said, “I got your father to settle it, but he kept procrastinating. So I decided to get it done myself.”

“Oh…” Li Beinian responded. “Grandpa, I’m a little tired, I’ll go upstairs and rest first.”

Old Master Li saw that something was off with her and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? You don’t seem too happy.”

“It’s nothing, I’m just tired.”

“Oh…” Old Master Li nodded and looked at her. “Then rest early.”

“Yes.”

Li Beinian returned to her room and looked at the window.

She reached out and shut it, leaving just a small gap for ventilation.

She then got into bed and closed her eyes.

For the next week or so, Li Beinian was extremely busy.

The shooting for the “Dream Slayer” commercial and the Manya Chocolates commercial turned her into a star overnight.

Especially the photograph of her as a goddess in the “Dream Slayer” shoot. She’d gotten a few loyal gamer fans.

And today was the news conference for “Legend Of The Dragon Pearl”.

When Li Beinian entered the car which arrived at the Li Family’s residence, she saw Bai Yuan smiling away instantly.

She was shocked and turned to Cheng Su, asking, “What’s he doing here?”

Cheng Su was shocked too. “Don’t you know? The company arranged to have a bodyguard around you for your safety. I thought you knew about this.”

Bai Yuan smiled even more widely now. “You don’t have to be so shocked. You seem to need a bodyguard, and having a familiar face protect you is great! I get paid for this too!”
