Chapter 493 - Headline Dominating Movie Queen(2) (1/2)
Shi Sheng did not have any interest in the entertainment industry. So unlucky of me to be forced to comply with the original owner’s demands!
Chen Yuan had gone out earlier, leaving Shi Sheng was lazily watching the television.
As of now, the male lead was still overseas and had yet to meet the female lead.
Shi Sheng took out her phone and texted Lan Ching.
…
Lan Ching walked out of the meeting. While massaging his temples, he felt his phone ring.
Turning it on, he immediately saw the message posted on the front.
[Brother, do you have time to eat? My treat.]
Lan Ching’s exhaustion was wiped off in an instant and he replied,
[How can such a celebrity like you have time to treat me to a meal? You choose the location. Btw, do you need me to pick you up?]
[I’ll come pick you up instead.]
Lan Ching looked at those few lines. Just what is she playing at?
Lan Ching ordered his secretary to cancel all his appointments after this, who nodded obediently.
It must be Miss Lan inviting President again. There’s no other reason for him to push aside all his jobs.
Everyone in the company gave Lan Ching a nickname – ‘Crazy Siscon’.
…
Shi Sheng parked his car under Lan Ching’s company building, waiting for him to appear.
The music playing in the car had a fast tempo, and Shi Sheng wondered just where did the original owner find them.
“Ka – Chak–”
There was someone pulling on the door handle outside. Shi Sheng tilted her head to see a man pulling his cap low, as if he was hiding his identity from Shi Sheng.
Such a ruffian look. He must not be a good person, Shi Sheng thought as she watched the man’s retarded behavior.
Does she not know how to unlock the door? the ‘ruffian’ thought.
He realized that she had no intention to open the door for him and ran away, followed by a group of people dressed up like him.
“…”
Teens these days, she complained.
…
“Ji– Ji–”
Shi Sheng unlocked the door after confirming that the person outside the door to be Lan Ching.
With a sleek move, Lan Ching closed the door.
He had a fresh, sunny look. Despite his young age, he seemed like a confident yet caring man.
“Do I have something on my face? You’ve been staring me since I’ve come up the car,” Lan Ching touched his face suspiciously.
Shi Sheng just smiled. “Nothing. I just realized that my brother is much more handsome now.”
“Heh. Something must’ve happened for you to say that. Speak, what do you want?” Lan Ching scoffed, realizing that he fell for his sister’s tricks.
Shi Sheng curled her lips and started the car, “I was just praising you.”
Just how many times did the previous owner toy with his brother? Just by praising him, he realized that something was amiss.
“Then I do have to thank Your Royal Highness for your kind words,” Lan Ching took off his suit and threw it to the backseat.
“Oh yea, may I know just where are we heading, Your Royal Highness?”
“We’re going to the Yi(怡) Hong Pavilion,” she teased. [TL: Yi Hong Pavilion was commonly used to state a brothel]
…
And they arrived at Yi Hong Pavilion.
Yep, it was the Yi(一) Hong Pavilion. But it was not a brothel as one would assume. [TL: The pronunciation for ‘一‘ and ‘怡’ are the same, and people would joke about the restaurant being a brothel]
“Your Royal Prince, we’re here.” Shi Sheng tugged at Lan Ching who had fallen asleep.
Lan Ching rubbed his eyes and stretched before walking out of the car.
This restaurant only served the elites. The security is good and there’s no way journalists could appear here.
Shi Sheng walked out without a disguise, supporting Lan Ching as they walked in.
