Chapter 31

He Yuhong looked at Qu Ling’er with gratification. Although this young lady had an ignoble family, she was beautiful and had a good personality—she should be very tolerant of Luo Yichen. Moreover, she had never seen Luo Yichen so protective of someone…

After He Yuhong left, Qu Ling’er looked at the pile of things on the ground and felt very conflicted. How could she eat the things that Luo Yichen’s aunt bought? Besides, she felt that his family situation was very complicated. Luo Xiao was such a scumbag. Why did He Yuhong—such a good person—not get a divorce? She did not understand. However, she had something more important to do now—she had to go online and find out who Brother was.

Qu Ling’er walked to the sofa—sat down—and took out her cell phone. How should she search? She could not possibly just search for ‘Ah Chen’. After pondering on it, she found Xia Tian’s chat box and sent a message: “Xia Xia, do you know which male celebrity has the word ‘Chen’ in his name?”

Xia Tian immediately replied: “What are you up to?”

Qu Ling’er: “Nothing. I just saw a celebrity who looks familiar, but I can’t recall his name.”

Qu Ling’er casually made up an excuse; but she could hardly believe it herself.

After a while, Xia Tian replied: “Hold on. I am busy now; I’ll let you know later. I’m the expert on male celebrity with ‘Chen’ in his name.”

Qu Ling’er: “…” That was as good as saying nothing.

She gave up waiting and launched Weibo—she had not logged in for a long time. There were often celebrities’ trending topics on Weibo—but she usually only used it for reading and studying—and did not pay much attention to such information. Before she could click on the trending topics, she saw a movie poster on the front page—the person on it was Luo Yichen!

She quickly clicked on it. His name was on the movie’s cast—the male lead was Luo Yichen.

Luo Yichen. So, Brother’s name is Luo Yichen! Qu Ling’er was stupefied.

Luo Yichen had debuted a few years ago and immediately gained popularity. He was an established actor. He had just won the Silver Bear for Best Leading Performance at the Berlin International Film Festival this year—the youngest actor in history to win an award for Best Leading Performance—he was only 21 years old! He was regarded as a legend in the entertainment industry!

Qu Ling’er suddenly felt very stupid. If she had taken a few hard looks online, she would have recognized Luo Yichen. If his fans found out that she had gotten into his car and lived in his house without knowing who he was, she would probably be abused online!

Just then, Xia Tian sent a video call request. Qu Ling’er looked around and immediately returned to the study with her cell phone.

As soon as the video call connected, Xia Tian said excitedly, “Ling’er, you’ve finally come around. You’re actually discussing male celebrities with me! The one with ‘Chen’ in his name is my Brother—Luo Yichen. He’s so handsome!”

Qu Ling’er could not bear to look at Xia Tian’s infatuated expression. Only then did Qu Ling’er realize—no wonder Xia Tian said that the T-shirt she borrowed from Luo Yichen was similar to her Brother’s—it was the same one!

Qu Ling’er looked at Xia Tian guiltily and asked, “So, what has Luo Yichen been busy with recently?”

“My Brother is attending the premiere of his new movie! It will be released in a few days. Why don’t the two of us go and watch it together?” Xia Tian said excitedly. However, she felt a little disappointed on second thoughts—Qu Ling’er had never been interested in such things and would probably reject her.

Unexpectedly, Qu Ling’er said, “Sure, when shall we go?”

Xia Tian was astonished and after a pause, she asked, “Ling’er, you actually agreed to watch my Brother’s movie with me?!”

Qu Ling’er explained, “I’ve been alone at home recently and I’m quite bored.”

She suddenly heard a sound at the door—hurriedly said goodbye to Xia Tian and ended the video call. Putting down her cell phone, she stood up and walked to the living room.

At the entrance, Luo Yichen was dragging his luggage into the house. When he looked up, their eyes met unexpectedly.

Luo Yichen came back alone—Assistant Liu was not with him. When he saw Qu Ling’er, he closed the door.

Qu Ling’er quickly went forward and took the luggage. “Let me help you carry it.”

Luo Yichen did not refuse. He changed his shoes and followed her into the bedroom.

Qu Ling’er was still in shock after finding out about Luo Yichen’s identity. She was occupied with anxious thoughts of how to get along with Luo Yichen and did not realize that he had followed her into the bedroom. She set down the luggage—turned around and bumped into Luo Yichen.

Luo Yichen was about to speak when he saw her turn around and fall into his arms. He instinctively reached out to receive her and they ended up in a hug. A fragrance wafted over. In that moment, his heart skipped a beat and he suddenly did not want to let go.
