An Xiran was unbuckling his seatbelt when he heard Nan Yan’s question. He paused for a moment and then smiled before answering, “Since you moved out of your home.”

“Living at home was too bothersome. It’s much more relaxed living on my own.”

Nan Yan didn’t press further on this topic. Instead, she shifted her tone and looked at him as she asked, “Fourth Brother, do you want to take over the company?”

This time, An Xiran was genuinely taken aback.

“Nan Yan, why are you suddenly asking this?”

He had a feeling that Nan Yan wasn’t just asking casually.

With the presence of their eldest and second brothers in the company, it was unlikely for him to take over, no matter how the situation unfolded. Moreover, he hadn’t even considered managing the company. All his focus was on developing his esports team.

“I see them causing trouble and targeting me repeatedly. Bound by Grandfather’s face, I can’t let the An family go bankrupt. If they push me too far, I plan to have the An family change ownership.”

Nan Yan didn’t hide her intentions either.

If the An family members couldn’t rein themselves in, she wouldn’t hold back either. She would retrieve what belonged to their previous owner.

An Xiran: ‘

Nan Yan’s disappointment in the An family had reached this extent!

But when he thought about it, it made sense. Given what his parents had done and their attitude towards Nan Yan, it was truly unbearable.

But changing the family’s ownership…

If someone else had said it, he would never believe it. Yet for some reason, hearing it from Nan Yan, he oddly felt that she had the capability to do so.

Perhaps her exceptional gaming skills had led to him blindly admiring her?

An Xiran scratched his short, stylish hair, dryly chuckled, and said, “Nan Yan, I’m not cut out to manage a company. Besides, overseeing a large family’s affairs would be too much pressure for me. I prefer doing what I want to do…”

Nan Yan gave him a slightly exasperated look, released her seatbelt, and got out of the car in one smooth motion.

Thinking that Nan Yan might be upset, An Xiran hurriedly followed, catching up to her and saying, “Nan Yan, don’t be angry. Maybe they’re not beyond redemption. What if they can be salvaged?”

“Even if my parents can’t change, there’s still our older brothers. They were deceived by An Muyao before, but now that they know her true nature, if they’re given a chance to accept the truth, they might change!”

“And if that doesn’t work, you’re still there!

You’re also a member of the An family. Grandfather has transferred all his shares to you. When the time comes, if Fourth Brother also gives you his shares, you’ll have the most shares.

Even if Dad and the others disagree, you can still inherit the An family…” Nan Yan pinched her brow. “Fourth Brother, you’re so noisy.”

“Alright, I won’t bother you.” An Xiran smiled awkwardly, then closed his mouth.

There was a hint of melancholy in Nan Yan’s eyes.

Did she really have nothing better to do than stir up trouble for herself?

Honestly, she didn’t think much of the An family.

However, she believed that the An family needed to be taught a lesson.

She would see when the time came…

After reaching upstairs, An Xiran handed the team uniform to Nan Yan and was quite eager to see her try it on.

Nan Yan didn’t want to brush off his good intentions and took off her school jacket before slowly putting on the team uniform.

The AEG team uniform has a distinct anime-inspired style.

It was designed by an artist who had combined elements from several outfits in the comics An Xiran had given him.

As a result, the uniform had a comic book (manga) vibe.

Nevertheless, when worn by someone with a great figure and looks, it looked really good.

Nan Yan smoothed out the subtle embroidered patterns on the collar and was quite satisfied.

“Nan Yan, stand still there, I’ll take a picture!”

An Xiran’s voice was excited as he pulled out his phone, adjusted the angle, and clicked several shots in succession.

“Nan Yan, can I post this picture on Weibo?”

He wanted to showcase his little sister to prove that their team wasn’t lacking in female members!

This was to silence those who kept ridiculing them for having no female players.

His sister’s goddess-like appearance could easily outshine all the other female members from rival teams.

“As a player of our team, it’s customary to make an official announcement!” An Xiran was afraid she might disagree, so he promptly brought up the team’s tradition.

“Sure, do as you wish.” Nan Yan had no objections.

She wasn’t afraid of her former enemies recognizing her now. She had no qualms about being exposed.

With Nan Yan’s permission, An Xiran hurriedly posted the photo on Weibo.

“#0fficialAnnouncement, AEG’s first female team member takes center stage!”

Below the text was a photo of Nan Yan in the team uniform.

In the picture, Nan Yan stood casually with a breathtaking appearance, emanating a cold charm.

Her long legs, slender and straight, peeked out from beneath the school uniform skirt. Her slim waist, which could be held with just one hand, was a stark contrast to the slightly whimsical team uniform. She looked like a goddess who had stepped out of a comic book.

Her cool, serene peach blossom eyes gazed nonchalantly at the camera. Her sidelong glance was both playful and teasing, with a touch of alluring restraint.

It was utterly captivating!

Simply put, she was irresistible to both men and women!

After An Xiran posted the picture, the other members of the team were nearly driven to madness.

In the comment section, they were clamoring for attention, hoping to be noticed by Nan Yan.

They understood their Captain’s infatuation with his sister and didn’t dare to speak recklessly.

However, some of the comments from fans and passersby were a bit excessive.

[Ahh, this sister is so stunning! I’m all in!]

[Damn it, my health bar is running low, nurse, come quickly and restore my health…]

[Beautiful lady, please don’t spare me, torture me to your heart’s content!]

[Tonight, you’ll be in my dreams…]

Seeing the comments that even fantasized about his sister, An Xiran’s expression changed abruptly.

He had been too careless.

He had forgotten how many pervertic fans were on Weibo. His intention was to showcase his sister, not to allow people to harbor inappropriate thoughts about her.

In the next moment, he promptly deleted the post announcing Nan Yan’s picture.

Nan Yan had been messaging Shen Junqing, but she sensed the surge of anger emanating from An Xiran. Unable to resist, she raised her head and asked, “What’s wrong? Did someone make you angry?”

An Xiran shook his head. “It’s nothing. Some netizens just made me nauseous for a moment.

He didn’t tell Nan Yan about the photo incident, fearing that she might also get upset.

“Nan Yan, wait for Fourth Brother a moment. I’ll get two sets of clothes, and then we’ll head to the old mansion.’

“Sure.”

Back at his house, Zhou Chongshan had just poured a glass of water and was yet to drink it when his phone rang.

“Director Zhou, quickly take a look at the photo I sent you!”

“What photo?”

“The one of that esports star you had me look into. The one who posted a photo that looks a lot like your new drama’s female lead. Luckily, I saved it in time.

The photo has been deleted now…”

“Alright, I’ll take a look.”

Zhou Chongshan already had a candidate in mind for his female lead. However, hearing that someone else might be suitable, he was curious to see for himself.

Although he suspected that the girl he had seen at the hotel was the most suitable, he decided to check it out.

Opening WeChat, he opened the chat and fixed his gaze on the photo.

Zhou Chongshan zoomed in on the photo, his eyes widening almost instinctively.

This was the girl he had seen at the hotel!

The poise, the beauty —it was unbelievable!

She was the perfect choice for his female lead!

He vowed that no matter what it took, he would make her the star of his new drama!
