Lin Ran immediately cut her off, saying, "Darling, I love you. I don’t want anyone but you—I won’t even glance at anyone else. Right now, all I want is you..."
After wrapping up a business deal worth hundreds of millions, Liu Meng knocked on the door.
"President Luo, Young Master Lin, a popular show has extended an invitation. They’d like to know if you’d be interested in participating."
Luo Yao and Lin Ran exchanged puzzled looks.
Had Liu Meng lost her mind?
With their status, why would they ever need to appear on an interview show?
In fact, even Liu Meng had been stunned when she first heard the request. But the assistant’s explanation had instantly enlightened her.
Seeing the skeptical expressions on Lin Ran and Luo Yao’s faces, Liu Meng didn’t dare delay and quickly clarified.
"This interview program is quite famous—it’s called The Boss and His Better Half. It primarily features successful entrepreneurs, though they occasionally invite celebrities as well. The show documents their weekend routines, but since it’s a live broadcast, it would require some of your time on Sunday morning. President Luo, what do you think?"
After delivering her pitch, Liu Meng waited for Luo Yao’s response.
There were two reasons she had brought this to Luo Yao.
First, as the president’s executive assistant, she knew her boss well—anything involving Young Master Lin was something Luo Yao would be interested in.
The second reason was far more mischievous. The assistant had remarked, "We get fed dog food every day, while others miss out. Isn’t that just unfair?"
And so, this devious reasoning became Liu Meng’s motivation.
Why should we be the only ones suffering?
Let the whole world experience this "joy" too.
Let everyone see just how shamelessly lovey-dovey their boss and her husband could be.
Of course, Liu Meng had one concern—whether Lin Ran would agree to participate. After all, the final decision rested with him.
Luo Yao turned to Lin Ran and asked, "A-Ran, do you want to do this?"
Without a second thought, Lin Ran replied, "I’ll go along with whatever you decide."
Luo Yao lowered her head in thought.
As the young lady of the foremost financial conglomerate, appearing on such a program would be beneath her dignity.
But the thought of flaunting her relationship with Lin Ran in front of the entire internet, declaring to the world "This man is mine," sent her spiraling into a honey-sweet euphoria.
It would also serve as a warning to any woman who dared set her sights on Lin Ran.
A feeling called "desire" exploded in Luo Yao’s heart.
"Fine, go ahead and schedule it."
Seeing Luo Yao’s agreement, Liu Meng added, "Oh, President Luo, the show might also ask some rather personal questions. That’s actually why it’s so popular."
"Got it."
With Luo Yao raising no objections, Liu Meng was practically giddy with delight.
Everyone thinks my job as the executive assistant is so easy, huh? Just wait—in a couple of days, they’ll see just how "easy" it really is.
With that, Liu Meng promptly contacted the production team.
The show’s director was in the studio, preparing materials for other guests when the assistant director approached him.
"Director, didn’t we already invite Luo Yao and Lin Ran? Why are you still prepping questions for other people?"
The director looked at him as if he were an idiot. "What kind of nobodies are we? Do you really think Luo Yao would ever agree to appear on our show?"
The assistant director frowned. "Then why did you have me send the invitation?"
"It was just a symbolic gesture to appease the audience. Lin Ran’s popularity is through the roof right now—everyone wants to see him. But who is President Luo? Forget her, even Lin Ran is way out of our league. Our backers can’t even compare to them. We’re not in the same stratosphere, got it?"
Seeing the assistant director’s confusion, the director sighed and continued impatiently.
"Let’s be real—our boss is just a seasoned entrepreneur in the entertainment industry. The guests we usually get are either B-list celebrities or small-time business owners with a bit of clout. Do you really think a financial giant like the Luo Corporation would give us the time of day?"
Can’t find the book by title? Try searching the author—maybe they just changed their name!
"To put it bluntly, our boss is worth a few billion at most. He only got this show off the ground because of his seniority in the industry. In front of real financial dynasties, we’re nothing."
The assistant director hesitated. "But what if...?"
"There is no ‘what if.’ That scenario doesn’t exist. If it somehow happens, I’ll stand on my head and... well, you get the idea."
The assistant director sighed at the director’s brutal self-awareness.
Just then, his phone rang.
Seeing an impeccably prestigious number flash on the screen, he scrambled to answer.
"Hello?"
"Hello, this is Liu Meng, assistant to President Luo of the Luo Corporation. Regarding your show’s invitation, President Luo and her husband, Lin Ran, have agreed to participate. You may proceed with filming the day after tomorrow."
"W-what?" The assistant director stood frozen like a wooden chicken.
Liu Meng continued, "I said President Luo has agreed to appear on an episode of your show. Make the necessary preparations, and coordinate the rest with me directly."
After hanging up, the assistant director remained motionless, phone still pressed to his ear.
The director snapped, "What’s wrong with you? If you’ve got nothing to do, go work. Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Director."
"Yeah?"
"What exactly does ‘standing on your head and...’ look like?"
Director: "???"
At Skyreach Manor, Uncle Fu left the main villa and knocked on the door of the servants’ quarters.
Soon, a familiar voice called out from inside.
"Who is it?"
"It’s me."
After a long pause, the door opened. Granny Wang looked at Uncle Fu and asked, "What do you need?"
Uncle Fu handed her a card.
"This is compensation from Young Master Lin and the young lady. Take it."
Granny Wang didn’t refuse—she needed the money.
"If that’s all, Uncle Fu, you may leave now."
Uncle Fu frowned. "Don’t you have anything else to say to me?"
"What should I say? That I left without a word back then? Or why I disappeared so suddenly?"
"Isn’t that the truth?"
"Yes, and I’m not denying it. What else do you want? To use your authority as the butler to fire me?" For once, a trace of anger flickered across Granny Wang’s face.
Uncle Fu sighed and turned to leave, bewildered by what he had done wrong.
Watching Uncle Fu’s retreating figure, Granny Wang’s eyes dimmed, returning to their usual dullness. She sighed inwardly.
Some things, once missed, are gone forever. The present is all that matters.
But why couldn’t she hide the loneliness in her eyes?
Before long, Lin Ran and Luo Yao returned. Since the next day was the weekend, they were both in good spirits.
"Uncle Fu, what’s going on with you lately? You seem completely drained."
Uncle Fu forced a smile. "Do I? Young Master Lin, you must be mistaken."
"Am I?"
Seeing Uncle Fu’s denial, Lin Ran didn’t press further.
The truth will come out eventually. You can’t hide it forever.
"The day after tomorrow, a film crew will be coming to the manor for recording. Make the necessary arrangements."
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
