Shi Nian raised his eyebrows and stated, “Tell me, where can I hire these Internet trolls? We’ll also hire Internet trolls. Let’s hire a whole troop and drown those rumor-mongers in comments.”

His statement made Yun Nan laugh, and she said, “Stop it! How would we be any different to Yun Liu if we did that? Let’s watch the show’s next live broadcast next week together. Since what’s done is done, we can only take things one step at a time.”

“I thought you would have Shi Xiu quit and bring her back home immediately,” Shi Nian uttered, surprised.

Yun Nan gave him a wry smile and explained, “It’s not that simple. I can’t just walk in and take her away with me. Shi Xiu has signed a contract with them.

She’ll have to pay a huge penalty fee if she quits.”

Seeing the look on Shi Nian’s face, Yun Nan added, “I know that bit of money is insignificant to you, but this concerns Shi Xiu’s reputation. We can only move forward and let this play out; we can’t back out of this, or there’ll be consequences in the future.”

“If you’re really worried, call Shi Xiu and chat with her,” Shi Nian suggested.

Yun Nan shook her head and replied, “Fang Xi will talk to her. Shi Xiu signed the contract behind my back. She’ll feel pressured if I call her now. She’ll be more open with Fang Xi instead. I can rest assured with Fang Xi advising her.”

Shi Nian found her sudden change funny and commented, “I’m impressed; you sure thought that through quickly.”

Yun Nan sighed. “I’m an impatient person. Most of the time, I can control myself and make slower decisions. However, I’m very impulsive when it comes to the people and things I care about.”

Noticing her disconsolate state, Shi Nian remarked, “I think that’s a good thing. Being yourself is a form of self-respect. Don’t always think of others; that’s a very tiring way to live.”

‘He saw through me? Yun Nan thought, a little stunned.

Shi Nian was never one to procrastinate and asked Xi Cheng out for a meal. He didn’t invite Liang Han and Ye Kun because he didn’t want them to get involved. He liked to solve his problems directly.

His invitation was only for Xi Cheng and didn’t extend to Lin Yu; Shi Nian wanted to give his buddy one last chance as friends. However, Xi Cheng wasted that chance because not only did he bring Lin Yu with him, but he also brought Gu Man and Shi Gao along.

The three women were dumbfounded when they saw Yun Nan. Shi Nian introduced them to Yun Nan. “This is my childhood friend, Xi Cheng. This is his fiancée, Miss Lin Yu, and these two are her friends.” He deliberately snubbed the two by not introducing them by their names.

Shi Nian held Yun Nan’s arm in his as he introduced her, “This is my wife, Yun

Nan.”

“Hello, it’s a pleasure to meet you all,” Yun Nan gently smiled and greeted them.

Lin Yu returned her smile as she sized Yun Nan up and commented, “Wow, you’re so pretty! No wonder Shi Nian refused to let us meet you. He must be afraid you would get snatched away.”

Shi Nian smiled slightly and replied, “That’s right. It’s why I only invited Xi

Cheng; I didn’t even let Liang Han and Ye Kun know.”

Xi Cheng and Shi Nian had known each other since their birth, so naturally, he understood Shi Nian’s meaning. But there was nothing he could do about his tagalongs.

He extended his hand to Yun Nan and stated, “Hello! It’s nice to meet you.” “Hello,” Yun Nan candidly shook his hand in response.

“Geez, there’s no need to be so formal!” Lin Yu chuckled. “Yun Nan, right? You probably don’t know yet, but Xi Cheng and Shi Nian are close buddies born on

the same day in the same delivery room. These two are closer than biological brothers. They grew up together, so you don’t have to be so reserved. Oh, right, I haven’t introduced them to you. These are my two besties, Gu Man and Shi Gao.”

Yun Nan responded with a smile and discreetly examined the three women. She could tell in a flash that the woman Shi Nian had asked her to deal with was Gu Man.

Noticing that Yun Nan didn’t say anything, Lin Yu made up her mind and deliberately arranged for Gu Man to sit on Shi Nian’s other side. Shi Nian frowned and looked at Yun Nan.

Yun Nan got the message and leaned over Shi Nian to speak to Gu Man. “That’s a beautiful bracelet you have there, Miss Gu. Hey, Shi Nian, switch seats with me, will you? I can’t see it properly with you in the way.”

Shi Nian mentally praised Yun Nan. He stood up and even helped Yun Nan get up as he exchanged seats with her. Gu Man’s expression soured when she saw the intimacy between the two.

However, Yun Nan held her sleeve, took a closer look at the bracelet on her wrist, and said, “Miss Gu, your bracelet is gorgeous!”

Gu Man disgruntledly pulled her hand away before replying in cool disdain,

“It’s not worth much.”

She didn’t expect Yun Nan to retract her hands before wiping them with a wet towel on the table. Yun Nan nodded and amiably remarked, “Yeah, imitation jewelry like this isn’t valuable, but they are beautiful. Miss Gu, I can tell you’re a connoisseur; you’re probably only wearing this piece because you like how it looks. Indeed, not many are knowledgeable in jewelry; experts only wear these things for fun..”
