One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos - Chapter 89

Chapter 89: Chapter 66: It’s Time to Shine

In the room.

Bai Shilan was looking at Ye Lin with affection.

“Ye, let me help you take off your coat,” she said.

Saying this, she walked forward.

A flash of horror crossed Ye Lin’s pupils.

Originally, he would never have allowed Bai Shilan to follow him up.

But then, recalling Ye Bolin’s earnest persuasion the night before, Ye Lin suppressed his panic at the last moment and let Bai Shilan come along with a return to reason.

But now.

Bai Shilan was about to take his clothes off!

In Ye Lin’s heart, two words screamed frantically: Help!

He had agreed to help with the act, and that was all right.

After all, that was his old profession.

But Bai Shilan was too crazy!

He couldn’t actually let himself be sold for his body; he would rather die than submit!

Ye Lin took a deep breath and said gently, “No need. I can do it myself.”

With that, Ye Lin took the new coat and went straight into the bathroom.

Bai Shilan wanted to follow him, but to her surprise, Ye Lin locked the door from the inside.

A flash of regret crossed Bai Shilan’s face.

However, she wasn’t in a hurry.

Ye Lin was willing to let her come up, wasn’t that a good start?

It was said that the Movie Emperor could get into character in one second when acting, but was rather silent at other times, which showed he was more of an introverted person.

Maybe he was just shy now?

Thinking this, Bai Shilan’s face revealed a mysteriously smug smile.

After changing, Ye Lin braced himself mentally before opening the bathroom door.

At this moment.

Ye Bolin happened to come up with a bunch of people trailing behind him.

La Jingzhou couldn’t wait to open the door.

From inside the room, Bai Shilan’s voice suddenly emerged.

“Ye, do you feel better now?” Bai Shilan’s voice was incredibly shy.

La Jingzhou’s complexion changed.

“Jingzhou, they are so sweet together. It wouldn’t be right for us to barge in unannounced. Why don’t we wait by the door for a while?” Liu Yan suggested.

“Let’s wait a bit then,” Ye Bolin readily agreed.

La Jingzhou:

Did he agree?

He felt like he was about to explode with anger.

But for some reason, he also wanted to see what Bai Shilan was up to.

Did she really like Ye Lin?

Could his charm not match Ye Lin’s?

La Jingzhou refused to believe it!

Crunch crunch.

The sound of someone eating seeds arose nearby, and La Jingzhou couldn’t help but glare over.

Ye Xiao looked innocent.

Gu Yan had already stepped in front of La Jingzhou, blocking his view without expression.

What was this all about?

Who was Gu Yan to look at Ye Xiao with such eyes?

La Jingzhou coldly glanced at Gu Yan and then, holding back his rage, continued to listen to the sounds from inside.

Deep down, he still believed that all of this was just a misunderstanding.

This way, if everyone listened together, the misunderstanding could be cleared up.

He, La Jingzhou, would definitely not be cuckolded.

In the room.

Ye Lin’s phone vibrated.

That was a pre-arranged signal, and Ye Lin immediately understood.

Everyone was in place.

Without showing any emotion, he asked, “Miss Bai, if I remember correctly, we didn’t have any interactions before, did we?”

Bai Shilan’s face turned red with embarrassment, and she said softly, “Ye, you might not remember me very well, but I will never forget you. When I was new to the industry, a makeup artist was giving me a hard time, and you spoke out for me. The film was called ‘Smoke and Clouds’; do you remember it?”

Bai Shilan gazed longingly at Ye Lin.

Afterwards.

She had seen Ye Lin at various grand ceremonies.

Ye Lin might not be familiar with her, but she had long held Ye Lin in her heart.

Smoke and clouds?

Being troubled by a makeup artist?

Ye Lin thought for a long time, then responded somewhat blankly, “Sorry, I don’t quite remember. If that really happened, then I would have spoken up to help no matter who was being troubled.”

Bai Shilan’s smile stiffened for a moment at her lips.

Ye Lin’s words were just short of saying outright that they were not close at all.

Ye Lin also worried that Bai Shilan would be discouraged and retreat, so he couldn’t help but ask further, “You seem very worried about me today?”

Bai Shilan’s eyes brightened, and she rallied herself as she said sweetly, “Brother Ye, you might not remember me, but I will never forget the help you provided me in my lifetime. In fact, I’ve watched every TV show and every film you were in over and over again. To me, you are the beacon in life, and the only warmth.”

Bai Shilan looked up at Ye Lin with an expression of worship, as though Ye Lin was her sky, her earth, her divine being.

Bai Shilan knew exactly how to conquer a man.

Most men didn’t like women who were too assertive.

Liu Yan was a case in point.

What use was her high education and strong abilities? What La Jingzhou needed was not these.

He needed a woman who depended on him and worshipped him with all her heart.

She had managed to grasp La Jingzhou by relying on this.

This time.

She could ensnare Ye Lin’s heart with similar tactics.

The beacon of life…

The only warmth…

Everyone silently looked toward La Jingzhou.

La Jingzhou’s hand clenched tightly into a fist, looking like he could explode at any moment.

“Jingzhou? What’s wrong?” Liu Yan feigned ignorance, “Listen, Shilan is quite articulate, isn’t she?”

La Jingzhou, not wanting Liu Yan to notice anything was wrong, forced himself to relax his muscles. The smile he squeezed out, however, looked strange no matter how one looked at it.

“Jingzhou, let’s wait a little longer, we must not disturb them,” said Liu Yan sweetly.

La Jingzhou could only fix his gaze on the door, as if trying to stare a hole through it.

Inside the room.

Being watched by Bai Shilan with that kind of gaze.

Ye Lin’s heart screamed two words: Want to die!

His lips showed a smile uglier than La Jingzhou’s, but he still inquired further, “So, what you mean is, your feelings for me…?”

Ye Lin found it hard to continue.

Seeing Ye Lin take the initiative, Bai Shilan’s eyes lit up. She lowered her head and her voice became so tender it was as if it would overflow with water, “Brother Ye… I, I’ve liked you for a long time.”

“Wow.” Someone couldn’t help but utter a cry of amazement.

Not Ye Lin. It was Ye Xiao.

La Jingzhou couldn’t help but glower at Ye Xiao again.

Ye Xiao blinked her eyes.

She hadn’t meant to, but wasn’t it just too exciting?

[Second brother! Perform well! Quickly ask her about the rumors involving La Jingzhou.]

Ye Xiao was shouting in her heart.

Suddenly, Ye Xiao’s internal voice echoed in Ye Lin’s mind. His body stiffened for a moment, and he slowly spoke, “You like me? That doesn’t seem right. I may not listen to those gossips much, but the outside world is talking about you having a special relationship with La Jingzhou.”

La Jingzhou’s body stiffened too.

Liu Yan, with a smile and an expression full of trust, said, “Jingzhou, don’t worry, all these are misunderstandings, I believe in you.”

La Jingzhou’s mood didn’t improve in the slightest, only managing to pull off a strained smile.

On the surface, he appeared rather calm.

Inside, however, it felt as if countless ants were crawling in his heart!

What is Bai Shilan saying?

She says!

She likes Ye Lin?!!!!

And what about himself, what does that make him?

She dares to cuckold him outright?!

At this point, Ye Xiao was already gleefully watching the drama unfold.

It was her turn to shine!
