He Xiang, who pushed open the balcony door and walked in, just happened to hear what Lin Shanchu said.

“What arrangement?”

“The boss of the jewelry brand invited Shanshan to have dinner at the revolving restaurant of Boya Hotel,” Qi Cheng explained with a smile. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Boya Hotel?” He Xiang’s eyes widened as she asked, “Do I have to wear a gown to dine in such a place? But I don’t have a gown…”

Qi Cheng put down his phone and glanced at Lin Shanchu before he said to He Xiang, “What were you thinking? The boss invited Shanshan to have dinner together.”

“Oh.” He Xiang replied worriedly, “This boss is indeed up to no good. He asked

Sister Lin out for dinner. He must have taken a fancy to Sister Lin’s beauty.”

Speechless, Lin Shanchu had mixed feelings. She did not know whether she should be happy that He Xiang had acknowledged her beauty or should get angry that she was just a pretty face in He Xiang’s eyes.

The hotel Lin Shanchu was staying at was very close to Boya Hotel, where it took about half an hour’s drive.

Yu Cheng drove over to pick Lin Shanchu up at 11:30 a.m.

Before Lin Shanchu got into the car, He Xiang sneakily stuffed a red spray bottle with the words “perfume” on it.

“Sister Lin, don’t forget to replenish your perfume when necessary.”

Judging from He Xiang’s look, Lin Shanchu knew that the bottle was not filled with perfume. However, Lin Shanchu did not ask further questions in front of Yu Cheng.

After getting into the car, Lin Shanchu sent He Xiang a WeChat message.

Lin Shanchu: [What exactly did you give me?]

He Xiang: [Pepper spray.]

Lin Shanchu:

He Xiang: [I bought it when I was in Xu City and always carried it with me.]

Lin Shanchu did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He Xiang was really… she was quite vigilant.

The pay raise she gave He Xiang was not in vain.

He Xiang was simply a mother-level assistant.

Lin Shanchu continued chatting with He Xiang until Yu Cheng’s voice rang out.

“We’ve arrived, Miss Lin.”

The car had stopped.

Lin Shanchu turned her head and looked out of the window. Indeed, they had arrived at the entrance of Boya Hotel.

It happened to be lunchtime. When Yu Cheng escorted Lin Shanchu into the restaurant, it was filled with people.

Yu Cheng took Lin Shanchu to the best spot in the revolving restaurant.

The brand’s boss was already sitting at the dining table. From Lin Shanchu’s angle, she could only see his back.

The boss was dressed in a gray suit and sat elegantly. He was flipping through a magazine to pass the time, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Yu Cheng stood behind him.

“Boss, Miss Lin is here.”

Lin Shanchu tilted her head and looked at the brand’s boss curiously, but the boss suddenly stood up and turned around.

Lin Shanchu was so stunned that she forgot to keep her head straight and blurted out, “President… Yun.”

She almost called out Yun Yi’s full name.

It was indeed someone she knew.

Before she came over, she had guessed that it was Yun Yi.

However, when Yun Yi left Xu City last time, she did not have a particularly pleasant conversation with him. Moreover, he was the president of Yun Ding

Corporation, so he must be very busy. Therefore, she was not sure if it was Yun Yi.

Yu Cheng said, “Boss, I’m leaving.”

Yun Yi nodded at him.

A waiter came over to help Lin Shanchu pull out the chair. After Lin Shanchu sat down, Yun Yi smiled and said, “There are no outsiders now, so there’s no need to be so distant.”

Perhaps it was because he had been taking care of his younger siblings for many years as the eldest brother, his smile revealed the kind love of an elder.

Lin Shanchu’s parents passed away when she was six years old. She did not have much experience with elders, so she was at a loss.

If she smiled and brushed it off like usual, she would seem a little hypocritical.

Thus, Lin Shanchu could only look at Yun Yi expressionlessly.

Yun Yi was amused. He put his hand on his forehead and chuckled for a while before he forced himself to stop laughing. Then, he raised his head and reminded her helplessly, “Call me Big Brother.”

Lin Shanchu did not know what was so funny.

Her friends already knew about her relationship with Huo Xunzhou. Yun Wu must have told Yun Yi as well.

It was normal for her to follow Huo Xunzhou and call him “Big Brother”.

Lin Shanchu paused for a moment before calling out expressionlessly, “Big brother. ”

Yun Yi was amused by Lin Shanchu’s expression. He clasped his hands together in front of his forehead and stifled a laugh.

Lin Shanchu was speechless. Did she look that funny?

Soon, Yun Yi adjusted his expression and returned to his usual gentle and elegant appearance.

“Let’s order food.”

Lin Shanchu did not stand on ceremony with him. She did not even look at the price and just ordered some dishes that looked beautiful and delicious.

After ordering the dishes, she handed the menu to Yun Yi and turned to look out the window.

The revolving restaurant had an excellent view where she could look down at more than half of Capital City.

“Is Capital City better than Xu City?”

Yun Yi finished ordering at some point and turned to look out the window.

“Of course.” Lin Shanchu’s gaze still landed outside the window.

“You should stay in Capital City then,” Yun Yi said indifferently as if he was casually mentioning it.

Lin Shanchu turned to look at Yun Yi without a word.

Yun Yi smiled warmly and changed the topic.

The two of them chatted from time to time and there was no silence throughout the lunch.

As the two of them walked out of the restaurant after lunch, Lin Shanchu suddenly remembered to ask him about the jewelry brand.

“You mean this…”

“Yun Wu loved those shiny jewelry when she was a child, so Grandpa used his own money to set up a jewelry brand for her.” Yun Yi laughed softly as he said, “When she grew up later, she no longer loved jewelry, but the brand has to be managed, so I took over.”

“I see.”

This jewelry brand was considered the Yun family’s private property. It had no business or financial dealings with the Yun Ding Group, nor did it have anything to do with Yun Ding Group at all.

Yu Cheng was waiting at the entrance.

“Boss! Miss Lin.’

Lin Shanchu and Yun Yi got into the car together.

“Drive Shanshan back to the hotel first,” Yun Yi instructed Yu Cheng.

This big brother was really not distant at all…

Yun Yi turned his head and looked at her. “I think that’s what Yun Wu calls you. You don’t mind, do you?”

He did not give Lin Shanchu the chance to say that she minded and changed the topic. “I’m a little busy. When Second Brother comes back in a few days, I’ll ask him to bring you around Capital City. Oh, and…”

Yun Yi spoke at a normal speed, not giving Lin Shanchu a chance to interrupt him.

Finally, it seemed that he could tell that Lin Shanchu had something to say, so he asked her, “What’s the matter?”

“There are paparazzi.” Lin Shanchu sighed

“It’s fine,” Yun Yi said with a smile.

Lin Shanchu thought Yun Yi would take care of the paparazzi .

However, when she returned to the hotel, she realized that she had misunderstood Yun Yi.

When Lin Shanchu returned to the hotel, both Qi Cheng and He Xiang gazed deeply at her.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

He Xiang handed her her phone and pointed at a trending topic— #LinShanchuAndYunYi,PresidentofYunDingGroup,AppearedatBoyaHotel..
