484: A Taste of Happiness (2)

A Taste of Happiness (2)

"What do you think Chen-ge and your wife are talking about?" Song Yiran nudged Lu Qingfeng as he leaned against the railing of the living room balcony, while holding an ice-cold beer in one hand.0

"I don't know." Lu Qingfeng answered. "I try not to get involved with Feifei's work at Bluemedia. She knows what she's doing, so I don't worry too much."

"That's not what I mean!" Song Yiran exclaimed. "I told you, I was right. Chen-ge was distracted because of a woman, but I surely didn't expect that it was him whom Miss Xiao spent a night with."

"Leave Chen-ge be. It's not right for us to poke our noses into his personal affairs." Lu Qingfeng grumbled, as if he was annoyed to know that Song Yiran got it right from the very start.

Song Yiran gasped, feigning offended by his younger brother's words.

"So hurtful, Lu Qingfeng. I wasn't trying to imply anything. I just want to show my support for Chen-ge. It's really a wonder why Su Xiaofei loved someone like you."

The sudden darkness that flashed through Lu Qingfeng's eyes caught Song Yiran off guard. He had never seen Lu Qingfeng react like this. He realized then that he had made a bad joke, and clearly Lu Qingfeng wasn't even a bit amused by what he just said.

"Hey, I was just joking." He could feel cold sweat forming on him already. "I'm not trying to mean that you and Su Xiaofei shouldn't be together."

Goodness. So Su Xiaofei was really Lu Qingfeng's bottom line. For a moment, Song Yiran thought that he was looking at a devil in front of him. He really needed to be careful with what he should and shouldn't say in front of this little tyrant.

When Yan Xiuchen came out of the study with Xiao Rufeng, both men looked at their eldest brother.

"I'll be going now." Yan Xiuchen told them before casting Xiao Rufeng a quick glance. "I need to make some preparations for Miss Xiao's lodging."

Song Yiran raised a brow at him.

"Oh? Is Miss Xiao already moving in with you?" He chuckled, earning a scathing glare from Yan Xiuchen, but Song Yiran didn't seem to mind it.

"As per my agreement with Su Xiaofei, Miss Xiao will be working as my temporary assistant for two weeks. She would also need to be provided with temporary shelter and security."

Song Yiran opened his mouth again,  but no words came out. He couldn't understand why Yang Xiuchen needed to do it.

Following Yan Xiuchen and Xiao Rufeng came Su Xiaofei with her assistant who arrived an hour ago in a hurry. What could possibly be so important that Su Xiaofei had to summon Zhang Ling here under short notice?

Su Xiaofei went to her husband and allowed him to draw her into an embrace.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Yan. I hope that you won't forget our agreement." She told Yan Xiuchen, ignoring the fact that Xiao Rufeng seemed to blush over her words.

Yan Xiuchen only nodded, then faced Xiao Rufeng.

"I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow morning." He said before giving his brothers a curt nod and left.

"Miss Xiao, shall we get going?" Zhang Ling called out Xiao Rufeng's attention.

"Yes." The actress replied hastily and regarded her manager and Lu Qingfeng, giving them a slight bow.

"Thank you for inviting me today, President Su, Mr. Lu." She then turned her attention to Song Yiran.

"Thanks again, Mr. Song. I heard from Miss Zhang what you did that night to help them find me. I know it has nothing to do with you, but you still went out and did what you could to help."

Song Yiran smiled at that, raised the beer bottle he was holding and winked at her.

"How can I stay still when I know there's a great beauty in need of my help? Not to mention that Su Xiaofei is practically my sister-in-law. I think Lu Qingfeng would skin me alive if I did nothing while seeing her in distress."

Su Xiaofei laughed at that, while Lu Qingfeng scoffed and shook his head.

"You really know how to be dramatic."

"Anyway, you really want to be Chen-ge's assistant?" Song Yiran questioned Xiao Rufeng. He wondered if Yan Xiuchen would use this perfect chance to get to know her better, which was pointless, in Song Yiran's opinion, if Yan Xiuchen wasn't planning on pursuing after her.

"It's just for two weeks and since we were given some time off from filming, might as well do something productive and help Mr. Yan in return." Xiao Rufeng said with a shy smile. "We should go now. I also need to pack the things I need to bring with me."

Xiao Rufeng didn't stay long and left with Zhang Lin to drive her home, courtesy of Su Xiaofei's instructions. Until Su Xiaofei had managed to deal with Xiao Yunyao, Xiao Rufeng wasn't allowed to leave on her own and would need a chaperone when going out.

"Aren't you going with us back to Qiying City?"

The three went back inside as the temperature outside was starting to get low. Su Xiaofei kissed her husband's cheek and returned to the study to finish her work, leaving Lu Qingfeng with Song Yiran.

"No." Song Yiran sighed. "I'm staying for another week here in Shenjing. I need to close the deal with DX Corporation."

"You are still pursuing them?" Lu Qingfeng eyed his friend. He really thought that there's no need for Song Yiran to make a connection with DX Corporation to make his own company grow.

Song Yiran shrugged and downed his drink in one go.

He'd been trying to close the deal for about two months now, but he had yet to convince them. Unlike the rest of his brothers, he was the only one whose business wasn't stable yet. Despite his outgoing personality, his pride wouldn't allow him to seek his brothers' help.
