“You care about Yatong.” Lin Yuxin took off her coat and draped it on the back of the chair behind her. She ruthlessly put out the cigarette in the tray. “He’s not a plaything for your bored life”
Xiao Qishen looked at the extinguished inside the ashtray. He leaned back in his chair. “I guess you might have misunderstood something.” He frowned. “Such as my relationship with Shan Yatong.”
There was a knock at the door, and several waiters came in to set down the meal the two ordered. They left the room immediately.
“You’re gay, aren’t you?” Lin Yuxin rested her hand on her chin. “You yourself should understand this matter deep in your heart.”
His fingers flicked on the table. Xiao Qishen was not even slightly angry at being accused of his sexuality. He sat up straight, opened the wine, and poured it out for her. “So?”
“Yatong isn’t gay.” Lin Yuxin lifted the wine glass, gently swirling the red liquid inside. Her beautiful eyes showed a slight hint of sharpness. “You should understand this too, right?”
The sound of red wine pouring into the glass was very low, and the wine dripped slowly down the glass, filling the room with the aroma of wine.
“Lafite, 1982.” Lin Yuxin set down her wine glass. From the corner of her eyes, she looked over the wine table. “Are you so tired from filming today that you can’t even pour the wine? What a waste.”
The hint of wine from the cork was rich. Xiao Qishen took the red wine from the wine rack. “I don’t know when our Empress Lin began to save this small amount of money.”
Lin Yuxin leaned against the armrest of the chair. “In your eyes, a bottle of wine worth nearly 100,000 yuan is nothing but a bit of money.” Her eyes squinted slightly, like a noble cat, making people unconsciously want to look up at her. “Or is it better to say, a lot of things are just like that in your eyes?”
Xiao Qishen gently swirled his glass. He looked from the side of his eyes at the imposing Queen Lin Yuxin. “Yuxin, I never liked the feeling of letting something important slip through my hands.”
Lin Yuxin raised her eyebrows. “You think, in this world, just because you think something is important it will be yours?”
“Is there anything I haven’t got?” Xiao Qishen asked with a smile.
“There will be something you can’t get.” Lin Yuxin yawned lazily. “Xiao Qishen. One day, you will experience the feeling of unrequited love.”
“Well, even if we break up, you don’t have to curse me like that, do you?” Xiao Qishen’s eyes widened in horror. “Empress Lin, how did I not know you had such profound feelings for me?”
Lin Yuxin sneered. “Don’t flatter yourself. Even if you weren’t gay, you’re not my type.” Her eyes dimmed slightly as she seemed to think of someone.
Lin Yuxin had made her debut two years before Xiao Qishen. When Xiao Qishen entered the entertainment industry on a whim, Lin Yuxin was already an “unapproachable” popular movie star.
Xiao Qishen knew that Lin Yuxin didn’t like him. Considering that the two tried to be together, partly due to the company’s arrangement, partly because both of them felt that there was no harm in trying.

Shrugging, Xiao Qishen raised his glass. “How about a toast to our past.”
Holding up her wine glass with graceful and beautiful fingers, she could see Xiao Qishen’s vague smile through her wine glass. She casually clinked their glasses together, and suddenly said, “I hear you plan to have Yatong guest-star at your domestic concert.”
“Well, that’s the plan.” said Xiao Qishen. He rubbed his chin. “Why? Is it not appropriate?”
Lin Yuxin set down her wine cup, smiling skilfully. “No, it’s not inappropriate.”
Xiao Qishen, perhaps you haven’t even realised your kindness to Shan Yatong has exceeded your bare minimum. Perhaps this person can help people understand what setback meant, what it means to cherish. Lin Yuxin was suddenly in a good mood, and smiled even brighter.
Although she was an entertainer, she still enjoyed watching entertaining plays.
“Where are we going?” Luo Yanqian looked over at Shan Yatong, who was sitting in the passenger seat. He gripped the steering wheel tightly.
Shan Yatong’s bangs fluttered in the night wind blowing in through the open window. Luo Yanqian’s car was not going that fast. Shan Yatong recalled that the first time he took a ride in his car, it was like taking a flying car.
“It’s kind of late. Of course we’re going home.” He frowned. He felt as if he could still smell a hint of perfume.
He hated the smell of overpowering perfume. This was one habit that remained consistent from his previous life.
There was some silence in the car. Luo Yanqian watched the road ahead, and looked at Shan Yatong from his peripheral. However, the expression on his face was so calm, that Luo Yanqian doubted the scene he had just seen a moment ago.
“Is work busy?” Luo Yanqian turned the car, and the streetlight hit him in the face, flickering.
Shan Yatong’s eyelids lowered. “Not too busy. I’ve been preparing for the recording of my new album recently.” He massaged the soreness at the edge of his temple.This body was too frail, and couldn’t keep up with all its nutritional requirements. It seemed that he should take time to prepare some good nutritional meals, otherwise he would fall before he could even continue in this circle.
Luo Yanqian turned his head to look at the side of Shan Yatong’s face. His profile was very pretty. He had thought this on more than one occasion. It was just that he was too pale, and appeared thin and delicate. “Headache?”
“It’s still okay.” Shan Yatong put down his hand, and smiled faintly. “It happens once in a while. I hear you’ve taken on another idol drama recently?”
“Oh, yes.” Luo Yanqian looked away. “I heard that the preparation was to find an artist in your company’s name, but then later for some unknown reason , it changed to me.”
Shan Yatong smiled at what he heard. “Maybe they don’t think the artists in our company were suitable.” Looking away, he looked out of the window, expressionless.
“My birthday is at the end of this month. There will be a party. Can you come?” Luo Yanqian started to say.
Shan Yatong looked at Luo Yanqian, and said, “I don’t know. It’s also Xiao-ge’s world tour around that time. I’m supposed to be a guest at his domestic concerts. If I have time, I will come.”
After a moment’s silence, Luo Yanqian smiled and nodded. “Okay.” He was actually a little uncomfortable deep in his heart. But the reason couldn’t be explained. Maybe it was because deep down, he didn’t like Xiao Qishen. “Are you fitting in with the company?”
“I spend most of the time recording movies or songs. I don’t have much time to interact with the people in the company. There’s nothing wrong with it so far.” Shan Yatong could see that he was looking for something to talk about, and he didn’t want to crush his enthusiasm. “How’s your idol drama going?”
“It’s no problem.” said Luo Yanqian. “The idol drama is a lot easier to shoot than a movie. The requirements are not so high, and it’s easy to shoot. I heard that the part of the movie is finally done, are there any new films to be picked up at the moment?”
“Recently, it’s possible the company hasn’t been arranging for me to pick up any new films. I may have to finish recording the new album well before arranging for any more. Anyway, the agent will arrange it.” Shan Yatong said with a smile. “If you ask me again, I will have no choice but to suspect that you’re an undercover agent.”
“N- no. I didn’t mean to…” Luo Yanqian was annoyed for a moment. “I’m not interested in your company’s business!”
Shan Yatong raised his eyebrows. “Such a strong reaction. Is it because of a guilty conscience?”
“Shan Yatong!” Luo Yanqian felt that all his worries just now were wasted. What was so sorrowful about this guy? Only a blind person could think he was lonely or sad!
Shifting aside to protect his ear from the outburst, Shan Yatong shrugged. “It was just a joke. You young people have such bad tempers.”
“How much older do you think you are?” Luo Yanqian snorted indignantly. “You’re only one year older than me!”
“My psychological age is much older than yours.” Shan Yatong didn’t feel the need to talk about such a childish topic with immature children. “How is Yuan Wen now?”
Luo Yanqian obviously did not expect Shan Yatong to suddenly mention Yuan Wen. He was so surprised, his anger immediately dropped by half. “The company froze him. He hasn’t had any activity. He should be at home. Are you looking for him?”
“No, I was just asking.” He wanted to make sure his opponent was still lacking fighting power. In this industry, if you can’t knock the other side down once and for all, then it will only guarantee trouble for yourself in the future.
Luo Yanqian looked strangely at the smile on Shan Yatong’s face. He had always felt that there were bad intentions behind his smile, with waves of evil influence.
“I said…”
“What?” In his confusion, Luo Yanqian turned to face Shan Yatong.
Bang! The latest sports car crashed into the streetlights, which flickered twice and then went out.
“Fuck! “I knew it. You don’t have your driver’s license yet.” Shan Yatong clutched at his bleeding forehead, an uncommon outburst of swear words exploding out of his mouth.
“I took it long ago!” Luo Yanqian managed to retort before losing consciousness.
Hearing the sound of sirens approaching, Shan Yatong tried to stay conscious. He took out his phone, and dialed Lu Fan’s number. “Hey, I had a car accident. Luo Yanqian was driving, at location xx. Quickly come and deal with it.”
After explaining the situation, Shan Yatong’s vision blurred. He gritted his teeth. He really shouldn’t have taken a ride from this youngster. As soon as he sat down it was a mistake.
After receiving the call, Lu Fan immediately reached out to acquaintances in the transportation bureau and the hospital to make arrangements, making sure not to leak any information. Then he rushed to the hospital.
Xiao Qishen and Lin Yuxin had just exited the restaurant when Lin Yuxin received news that Shan Yatong was in a car accident.
Lin Yuxin thought for a moment. “We should go to the hospital right away.”
The smile on Xiao Qishen’s face stiffened a little. He jumped into the driver’s seat and started the car quickly. He thought about what he had just heard, that Shan Yatong and Luo Yanqian were in a car accident together. He clenched his teeth. Getting in a car accident with someone from another company… What is that guy doing?!
He also didn’t know how severe the situation was at the moment. If it was extremely serious, it would be troublesome.
Lin Yuxin looked at the anxious and worried look on Xiao Qishen’s face. Should she tell him that the injury wasn’t too serious?
Ah, anyway, the hospital wasn’t too far away. So they’ll know when they get there. She’d rather not talk about it.

B: We’ll be taking a break next week, and will be back to scheduled posts starting March 8 again! Thanks for reading 
Have a good break, thanks for the chapter! 💕
this novel gave me lukewarm and distant feeling… idk if it’s because the ML hasn’t been decided yet or it’s because Jing Anjue is too high profile… I’m really unable to describe this weird feeling… am I the only one who feels like this? (• ▽ •;)
+1 you are not alone
+1 I also feel that kind of vibe every time I read it!
+1 I guess it’s sort of a… We’re not ready to fully invest emotionally in any of the characters. The MC is quite distant due to his maturity, and the prospective ML’s- Well, there haven’t been many incidents to have us grow fond of them yet, I suppose.
Every time I can’t help but feel heart ache for one of these MLs thinking that may be he won’t be the one and he’ll be left behind and I find them all good sigh
Thanks for the chapter ❤❤

Lin Yuxin… just her nothing else
“Lin Yuxin raised her eyebrows. “You think, in this world, just because you think something is important it will be yours?”” – I really like how she words this. Weirdly enough I was sort of looking forward to all the unrequited love while Yatong enjoys his merry life??
Nvm, I think I’ll be on team LYQ, XQS disappointed me and I really dislike Chairman Tang.
Laughing so hard at the accident lmao. With how much LYQ was looking at SYT’s face I guess it was bound to happen
