Although he appreciated the save, Ye Kun still insisted, “I’m serious this time. My parents have also agreed; it’s fine as long as I like her. It doesn’t matter if she’s not from a family with influence. I’m not the only child in my family; if they want to make a perfect match, they have my older brother. But my brother is sly, so just in case, I have to act fast and find the right girl as soon as possible. That way, I’ll be free from the pressure of an arranged marriage.”

Shi Nian kicked him. ‘Ye Kun, you moron!’ If he continued on like this, Shi Nian would no longer help him. Ye Kun shut his mouth resentfully.

Liang Han decided it would be funny to see Shi Nian on the hot seat for once and teased, “Shi Nian, I heard that something happened between you and your childhood sweetheart at the airport a few days ago?”

Shi Nian frowned. Liang Han patted him on the back and assured him, “Don’t worry, Chang Yuan handled it very cleanly. Not a single piece of news leaked out. I just happened—by chance—to hear the media reporter she hired complain that he got in trouble without anything to show for it. Your childhood sweetheart is a rotten piece of work!”

Shi Nian’s frown deepened. “I told you, I don’t have any childhood sweethearts.

I’ll get angry if you bring it up again.”

“Are you guys talking about the Yun family?” Lin Yu interrupted.

Shi Nian stated disgruntledly, “My grandfather may be friends with their grandfather, but my father and my generation have never associated with the Yun family members, much less being childhood sweethearts.”

Lin Yu said, “No offense, Shi Nian, but you should find the right occasion and clarify everything in public. Did you know Miss Yun Liu has been secretly going behind your back, telling everyone that you two are childhood sweethearts? She’s taking advantage of you.”

Shi Nian remained silent. Xi Cheng kicked Shi Nian’s feet. “Do you really not like her? Or are you just pretending so you can keep your relationship a secret?”

Shi Nian glared at him, “I’m not like—that kind of person.” Shi Nian changed his words abruptly in the middle of the sentence.

Xi Cheng froze at his words before replying, “It’s good that you’re not.” Only the two of them understood what they were talking about.

Shi Nian took a deep breath and spoke to Liang Han. “I need you to help me spread some news through your channels.”

Liang Han was confused. “What kind of news? Why can’t you do it yourself?!”

“I can’t use my people; this can’t be tied to me. We’ll leave no traces if we spread them through your channels,” Shi Nian explained.

Liang Han nodded and nonchalantly agreed, “Alright. Tell me, what do you need me to do? I’ll support you, come hell or high water!”

Shi Nian took a sip of alcohol and told him, “I’ll hand you some photos and documents. You only need to send them out as is.”

The idea came to Shi Nian when Liang Han mentioned the airport—he was talking about what happened that day his grandfather and sister returned.

Yun Liu had obviously planned that incident; thankfully, Yun Nan had cleverly resolved the situation then and there. Even if the tabloids wanted to make something of it, they have nothing to work with. Shi Nian initially wanted to leave the matter alone, but then he remembered that Yun Nan was about to start shooting her film. He didn’t want any trouble to affect Yun Nan, so he asked Chang Yuan to ensure the press won’t release any news about the incident.

He trusted Chang Yuan’s abilities and—as Liang Han said—Chang Yuan indeed delivered. Shi Nian didn’t take the matter to heart since it had been dealt with.

But now, he suddenly had a thought. Yun Liu always bent the rules and made up rumors about her relationship with him. Then why couldn’t he spread some gossip about himself and Yun Nan? Yun Nan also needed public attention, anyway, and Shi Nian would prefer her rumored romantic partner to be him

man some other guy.

Shi Nian didn’t know Yun Liu was quite effectively threatened into silence by Yun Nan and Shi Xiu that day. Because of that, she didn’t dare to make a move, and the incident ended uneventfully. Yun Liu had also suffered that tumble for nothing; the man she crashed into was an unfortunate casualty.

Liang Han’s interest was immediately piqued. “Hey, so tell me, what’s all this about? What’s going on?”

Seeing that everyone’s attention was focused on him, Shi Nian straightened his back and vaguely replied, “Basically, I’m trying to impress a girl.”

“Noooooo!’ Liang Han wailed, startling everyone. Liang Han threw a tantrum and cried, “How is it that all of you found a girl, but I’m still single?! Where’s our brotherhood? You guys can’t leave me behind like this! No, this won’t do!”

Shi Nian restrained him with Ye Kun and growled, “Would you stop and behave yourself? You’re embarrassing!” Liang Han spied Lin Yu’s two best friends out of the corner of his eye and immediately fell silent. He pushed them off and sat back down on his seat.

Lin Yu smiled at her besties and commented, “They’ve been roughhousing like this since they were kids. Men! No matter how old they get, they’re all children at heart. ”

Gu Man chuckled and looked at Shi Nian. “I’m more interested in your lady friend, Mr. Shi. I’m curious as to what kind of girl can catch your eye.”

Shi Nian smiled and said nothing..
