Yin Shuyang had been sending messages to Xie Guanlan for several consecutive days, receiving only cold replies, each one delayed for quite some time.
Then he went on a business trip.
She didn’t know when he would return.
She stayed in the studio working on her new comic.
Until Shi Man called her.
“Yang Bao, have you finished your work? Come out and have some fun! Staying in the studio every day will make you dumb!”
Who’s dumb?
She’s not a little fool!
“Come out and play!”
“Get ready, I’m coming to your studio right now!”
Without giving Yin Shuyang any chance to speak, she hung up the phone.
Less than three minutes after the call ended, Yin Shuyang heard Shi Man honking the horn and immediately rushed out.
“Shh! Don’t honk, it’ll disturb the neighbors!”
“Yes, Miss Yin.” Shi Man pushed up her sunglasses. “You’ve been a bit too engrossed lately!”
“Is it my brother again who asked you to take me out?”
“Not this time. I specifically came to check on the progress of the young lady’s pursuit of her man.” Shi Man watched her buckle the seatbelt gently and couldn’t resist pinching her cute little face.
She had indeed been working diligently lately—her little face had even slimmed down!
“Yang Bao, your previous figure was just perfect. Don’t lose any more weight. Eat more tonight!”
Yin Shuyang rubbed her little face. “If I’ve slimmed down, will Xie Guanlan feel a bit sorry for me?”
Shi Man: (waving)
Who understands this?
This girl’s love obsession is hopeless!
Throw away her brain and replace it!
Shi Man casually said, “You can take a photo and post it on your social feed: ‘Recently, longing has made me ill, and I’ve grown weary.’ See if he notices.”
Following her mentor’s advice, Yin Shuyang immediately started working on it.
At a red light intersection, Shi Man watched her find angles for photos and edit her social feed. The girl was teachable—though love obsessed, she was quite obedient!
Whatever was said, she did it!
So obedient!
“Should you tag him?” Shi Man casually asked.
Yin Shuyang blankly “hmm-ed.” “Is that okay? Would that be too straightforward, too deliberate?”
And if Brother found out, he would definitely come looking for her right away!
She felt that half the reason she couldn’t pursue Xie Guanlan was Yin Shujun!
They had known each other for years, and Yin Shujun had unilaterally decided they weren’t compatible, cutting off her romantic prospects and Xie Guanlan’s too, even though they were clearly well-matched!
“Of course not. You can set it to be visible only to him!” Shi Man added.
“Ohhh, I understand.” Yin Shuyang posted a social feed visible only to Xie Guanlan.
When they arrived at the place, Shi Man walked in arm-in-arm with her and checked her phone.
Yin Shuyang had posted: Recently, I’ve been losing weight and can’t eat. Went to the hospital for a checkup, and the doctor said I suffer from lovesickness!
“How is it?”
Shi Man met her sparkling eyes and handed the phone back to her. “Pretty good.”
Keep it up!
See when Xie Guanlan would read this and feel sorry for her, fly back from abroad immediately to hug her—then she’d succeed!
Actually, Shi Man was quite invested: the cold, restrained wealthy tycoon and the gentle, beautiful, cute, obedient sweet young lady!
People love seeing gods fall.
Love seeing contrasts!
Love seeing the unattainable fall into mortal love, into desire, into the depths.
Of course, her most adorable Yang Bao naturally deserved sweet romance, beautiful marriage, and a happy family.
So just let Xie Guanlan experience a bit of what it means to pursue a wife.
Otherwise, Yang Bao would cry.
A beautiful girl crying—she’d feel sorry for her.
There were a few other friends in the private room. When they arrived, dishes had already been ordered.
Yin Shuyang checked her phone occasionally. Since it was visible only to Xie Guanlan, she looked for any likes or replies from him.
Seems Xie Guanlan had never liked any of her social posts.
Should Xie Guanlan be awake by now?
Poor Yang Bao, it’s just that…
