BXBX NOVEL Chapter 340 - 341: This Time, We Are Truly Together
When Li Yanchen finally confirmed the hotel, he explained the reasons in detail, and the hotels that were not selected accepted it willingly.
As they were leaving the elevator, Lin Wan sighed wearily. “If I ever encounter a client like Chenxin, I definitely won’t serve them.”
Seeing Yang Ruoxi in the lounge, Lin Wan was happy. “Did you wait for a long time?”
“Only a little over an hour. The sofa is quite comfortable, so I took a quick nap.” Yang Ruoxi stretched lazily and then leaned close to Lin Wan. “Sis, I knew Mr. Li was wealthy, but I didn’t expect him to be this wealthy. The lounge is even bigger than the executive office in my previous company. It even has a lobby.
This is the standard for a five-star hotel…”
Yang Ruoxi already felt that Chenxin exceeded her imagination, and she had only seen the first floor. She hadn’t seen such a large company before.
Lin Wan felt bad. After all, Yang Ruoxi and Lin Wan were best friends. Lin
Wan’s husband was so wealthy, while Yang Ruoxi’s husband was just a student.
Li Yanchen wasn’t arrogant at all. “Shall we go to my office or go out and have fun?” he asked warmly.
Yang Ruoxi wanted to take a look and see what the company was like, but she was afraid of sounding ignorant. “I’m okay with whatever Wanwan wants,” she said.
Lin Wan linked arms with Yang Ruoxi. “How about this? I’ll take Ruoxi and Tiantian around to explore while you focus on your work, Mr. Li. If we decide to go out later, I’ll let you know. This afternoon, I belong to Ruoxi.”
“Sounds good to me!” Yang Ruoxi nodded.
It was only right for Lin Wan to accompany her best friend on her visit, so Li Yanchen readily agreed.
Even Lin Wan didn’t know how big Chenxin actually was. All she knew was that Chenxin had many departments, and each was responsible for different things.
Yang Ruoxi and Tiantian couldn’t stop praising Chenxin.
In the evening, the three of them went to a museum together.
After Li Yanchen finished his work at Chenxin, he called Lin Wan to ask what she would like for dinner.
Lin Wan knew Yang Ruoxi’s preferences, but Tiantian was still a guest. So, she asked him what he wanted to eat. Tiantian wanted to try southern cuisine.
They decided on a countryside restaurant by the lake. Li Yanchen made the reservation. When he was done with it, he texted Lin Wan.
Yang Ruoxi admired Li Yanchen for balancing his work and personal life so adequately.
It was Tiantian’s first time eating authentic Southern cuisine. He was already amazed by the presentation in the restaurant.
The bowls looked big, but the portion of the food was the size of a fist. He looked disappointed.
“Southern dishes are more delicate,” Yang Ruoxi said. She guessed what Tiantian was thinking.
There were many dishes served. In the end, Tiantian was satisfied.
On a cold winter night, the temperature in Yun City usually dropped down to zero. It was too cold to go shopping, so Yang Ruoxi gave up on the idea. They all returned to Royal Water Bay.
Yang Ruoxi was astonished by Lin Wan’s villa.
“This is… so luxurious! ” exclaimed Yang Roxi.
In her original world, seeing a villa of over 300 square meters made her feel that it was beyond reach. But Lin Wan’s house was over 600 square meters. That was just the building area. Including the yard, it must be over 1,000 square meters…
When they returned to the hotel at night, Tiantian’s self-esteem took a hit.
He stood by the window, looking towards Royal Water Bay, and sighed. “Xixi, I may never be able to give you such a big house.”
Yang Ruoxi hugged Tiantian. “Who said anything about wanting a house like that?”
Tiantian’s doubts were gradually dispelled.
“Don’t overthink it. Every moment together is precious. This time, we are truly together.” Yang Ruoxi wrapped her arms around his neck.
At the Royal Water Bay villa, Lin Wan leaned on the table. The fifth episode of the variety show was about to kick off, and Li Zexin would finally be present with them. She just didn’t know who the flying guest would be.
The previous episode left her with lingering fear. Ji Hanzhi had truly done something crazy.
After taking a shower, Li Yanchen wrapped himself in a fluffy bath towel. “What are you thinking about? You’re so focused.”
“Do you know who the flying guest is this time?” Lin Wan had never cared about these things before.
“Browse through the forums. You might find some clues,” Li Yanchen said.
Lin Wan took out her phone and entered the name of the variety show in the search box. The production team was up to something.
Fortunately, the list of flying guests had no connection to her, Li Yanchen, or anyone they knew. Lin Wan heaved a sigh of relief.
“We’re Also Very Ordinary” had reached its fifth episode, and the audience was getting tired. The production team was brainstorming how to bring something new to the show. Relying on the connection between the flying guests and the regular guests alone was not enough.
The production team contacted Su Wei to return as a guest on the show. Dou
Dou was the flying guest this time. She was a six-year-old girl who won the Clever Speech Competition in the preschool group. She was about to represent Yun City in the national competition. Her mother, Li Meng, was a writer, and her father, Pei Lingfeng, was a coach for the national swimming team.
At Yun Xi Middle School, Li Zexin packed his bag with loads of homework.
After school tomorrow, he would go back home and then head to Lan Village early the following day.
Having missed two episodes of the show, Li Zexin was looking forward to the live broadcast of the fifth episode.
The next morning, Lin Wan and Yang Ruoxi went to a members-only supermarket for imported products. Lin Wan only prepared a few snacks and didn’t buy any pre-cooked dishes. For this episode, she decided not to eat pre-cooked dishes or instant noodles. She wanted to use her cooking skills to impress the fans on the livestream.
Upon hearing about Lin Wan’s ambitious idea, Yang Ruoxi gave her a thumbs-up. ‘It’s over. The kids are going to suffer again.’
In the afternoon, Yang Ruoxi returned to Changrong. Her grandmother wanted to see Tiantian.
At Yun Xi High School, as New Year’s Day approached, the atmosphere on campus became livelier as students looked forward to the upcoming holiday.
On January 1st, the fifth episode of the variety show began. Before going home, Li Zexuan made plans to meet Xie Wanyu.
They sat side by side in the playground.
“I won’t stay for evening self-study today. I’m going home right after school in the afternoon,” Li Zexuan said.
Xie Wanyu didn’t look forward to the holiday at all because her father had returned. She wished the school didn’t have a break so that could just stay back.
Li Zexuan understood Xie Wanyu’s troubles.
“You can call me or send me a message. During the live broadcast, I have a lot of free time.” Li Zexuan wanted her to understand that she could always rely on him.
Xie Wanyu hugged her knees, resting her chin on her arms. “Um… Sister Lin Wan also told me the same thing. She said I can call her if I ever need her..”
