Chapter 1160: 800 Habits (Second Update! Asking for Monthly Tickets!)

"Yun Xi, you’ve really changed now."

Yang Ni’s smile slowly faded.

Such is the power of companionship.

It indeed can alleviate one’s pain.

Pei Yunxi, who rarely joked during her sweet days, giggled without a word.

"It seems like leaving Sweet Candy was the right decision. Not only has your career gone up a level, but you’ve also become more lively."

"Yang Ni sister, wasn’t it you who ’drove’ me away at the beginning?"

Yang Ni, who helped her shield from the wind and walk the hardest initial path, gave a bitter smile and helplessly said, "What else could I do? I couldn’t cope with someone like Director Shi."

After a pause, she spoke sincerely: "You’re much luckier than I am, really."

Started her career by joining Sweet Candy.

After leaving Sweet Candy, she was then "sheltered" by the daughter of Jin Hai Industry.

Not to mention others, even she herself felt envious.

That soul-engaging red lip quivered slightly, Pei Yunxi seemed to want to say something, but ended up just gently smiling, "Perhaps."

Yang Ni noticed her hesitance and tentatively asked: "Miss Shi didn’t give you a hard time, did she?"

The now powerful socialite didn’t really have much energy to focus on herself.

But that wasn’t the issue.

"No."

Pei Yunxi shook her head.

Even between close friends, some topics are not suitable for discussion.

Right then, Yang Ni’s phone rang.

She picked it up and glanced at the caller ID, then looked up.

"Zheng Baosen."

Pei Yunxi didn’t say anything.

Yang Ni pressed the answer button, picked up the phone, and with a smile, called out: "Brother Baosen."

Technically, by age, Zheng Baosen should belong to the generation of her parents, his children were about her age.

But in social niceties, naturally, you pick the pleasant things to say.

Moreover, if considering her ex-husband Wei Dongxu’s side, it’s appropriate to address him that way.

Pei Yunxi naturally couldn’t hear what Zheng Baosen said on the phone, she only saw Yang Ni ask: "What time?"

"Yun Xi?"

"Yun Xi probably won’t be available."

Pei Yunxi remained silent, until Yang Ni put down the phone, then she asked: "Did Zheng Baosen ask you out again?"

"Yeah."

Yang Ni nodded, "He also asked me to bring you along, but I refused."

Pei Yunxi noncommittally asked, "Yang Ni sister, are you still going?"

"I have to."

Yang Ni, who nearly got drunk to oblivion, said solemnly: "Since he asked me out, it means he plans to help me. If it can be resolved outside of court, it’s better for everyone."

"What time?"

"He said tomorrow night."

"I’ll accompany you."

Pei Yunxi stated simply.

Yang Ni frowned and decisively refused: "No, you don’t need to go."

"Why?"

Pei Yunxi asked calmly.

Yang Ni looked at her, hesitated, and eventually said subtly: "You might not be familiar with him, but you must have heard about his reputation."

"I have heard, so what?"

"That’s why you can’t go."

Yang Ni was adamant.

Pei Yunxi and Zheng Baosen were not close, but she was different, her ex-husband was a local celebrity from Gangcheng.

From this, it can be inferred.

Her insistence on not letting Pei Yunxi go suggests that the rumors about Zheng Baosen might not be unfounded.

"I can’t go, but what about you, Yang Ni sister, is it appropriate for you to go alone?"

Yang Ni was momentarily at a loss for words, silenced for a while, and then said: "Yun Xi, this matter doesn’t concern you, I’m just going for a meal."

"Since it’s just a meal, one more pair of chopsticks shouldn’t be a problem."

Yang Ni understood that the other party had good intentions, but she really didn’t want to involve her, even if there was only a risk.

"Yun Xi, I know you’re worried about me..."

"Yang Ni sister, you might be overthinking it, I’m just bored alone, going for a meal, and besides, Zheng Baosen is also a senior, with a strong social circle, getting to know one more person like that is also beneficial for me, isn’t it."

Speechless, Yang Ni stared at her for a long moment, then could only reluctantly smile, "...well, alright."

No matter what, she and Pei Yunxi were not ordinary people, and even if Zheng Baosen had a bad reputation, he was still a notable public figure, unlikely to behave outrageously.

Two people were indeed more appropriate than one.

The next evening.

Yang Ni arrived punctually for the appointment, Pei Yunxi accompanied her.

"Yang Ni, didn’t you say Yun Xi wasn’t coming?"

Zheng Baosen was still all smiles, somewhat surprised, or rather, pleasantly surprised, upon seeing Pei Yunxi.

It may be due to his screen image.

He has played many gangster bosses roles, always donning this smiling facade on camera, which inevitably spills over into real life, giving off a slightly uncomfortable feeling.

He enthusiastically beckoned the two women, who stood out even in the beauty-filled entertainment industry, to take their seats. His gestures indicated that he wanted Yang Ni and Pei Yunxi to sit on his left and right respectively.

Yang Ni held onto Pei Yunxi’s wrist.

"Yun Xi was supposed to return today, but she wanted to keep me company longer."

While being polite with her words, Yang Ni pulled Pei Yunxi to sit beside her, and inevitably, she had to sit next to Zheng Baosen’s left side.

Actually, there was no one else, there was no need to arrange this round table, a square table would have been enough.

" I’ve long heard that the two of you are close, and it certainly seems so, haha."

As a senior, Zheng Baosen was easy to approach, although he hadn’t followed the arrangement of the host, he didn’t mind and took his seat with a laugh, handing the menu to Yang Ni next to him.

"The food here tastes better than the last restaurant we went to, take a look, see what you would like to eat. You’re practically a Gangcheng local, but Yun Xi is a guest, we must take good care of her!"

While passing the menu, Zheng Baosen seemed to unintentionally touch Yang Ni’s hand.

Yang Ni seemed completely unaware.

That’s typical.

As an actress, often for the sake of her work, she needs to make necessary sacrifices; this level of physical contact really isn’t anything at all.

"Baosen is right, you’re the guest, you pick first."

Yang Ni, sitting in the middle, passed the menu to Pei Yunxi.

Zheng Baosen, whose white hair outnumbered his black, watched with a full-faced grin.

For a big shot like him.

What delicacies from land and sea hasn’t he eaten?

Just looking at these two faces was already a feast for the eyes.

Pei Yunxi didn’t stand on ceremony, looked down at the menu, aware of her place, not trying to overshadow the host.

"We didn’t drink well last time, we must enjoy ourselves today."

The liquor was specially brought by Zheng Baosen, definitely a rare good one, but the quantity was too much, a full three bottles.

"Baosen, you saw me last time, I was already drunk, I truly can’t compare to your drinking abilities, I can only drink a little."

When asking for help, naturally you have to be prepared to be beholden to others.

Just like many people in the workplace, often, indeed, they cannot help themselves.

"Yang Ni, don’t be modest, you can hold your liquor, I know last time you were fine, otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to call Yun Xi to come pick you up."

Zheng Baosen said it naturally, Yang Ni kept smiling.

That’s the demeanor of a veteran actress.

"And this time Yun Xi is here too, it’s my first time having a meal with Yun Xi, today we won’t return unless we’re drunk, haha."

"Zheng predecessor, my tolerance is even worse than Sister Yang Ni’s, she knows. I can only join you for one drink."

Pei Yunxi, who was ordering, looked up.

She knew Yang Ni was asking for help, so she didn’t want to embarrass the other party.

One drink wouldn’t be a problem.

"Okay, you’re the guest, however much you drink is fine. Just enjoy yourself."

Zheng Baosen cheerfully said, but his words seemed to subtly put invisible pressure on Yang Ni.

"Baosen, about that matter I mentioned last time..."

"Yang Ni, we’ve known each other for a long time, and Dongxu has also known me for so long, whatever concerns you two is my concern, it’s my responsibility."

Zheng Baosen said while clapping his chest with a raspy voice.

"Don’t worry, I will definitely try my best to help."

"Thank you, Baosen."

Yang Ni gratefully said.

"What’s there to thank, we’re not strangers."

Zheng Baosen dismissed it with a hearty demeanor.

Yang Ni certainly wasn’t unperceptive, the other party was so righteous, she couldn’t not acknowledge it, so she took the initiative to stand up and open the wine.

"You don’t need to bother, I’ll do it."

Although he was old, Zheng Baosen still wanted to show courtesy, standing up to take the wine bottle Yang Ni already had in hand.

He indeed was quite short, even though Yang Ni was careful not to wear high heels, he still ended up a good half head shorter than her when he stood up.

Of course.

A man’s appearance isn’t that important.

Height has nothing to do with achievements.

Both reached for the wine, and Zheng Baosen’s hand accidentally clasped Yang Ni’s.

Different from the brief touch when passing the menu earlier, this time he directly held it.

And Zheng Baosen seemed to even squeeze it a little.

This must have been a subconscious action.

Even as a senior, his more fundamental identity is still that of a man.

Faced with such a stunning star like Yang Ni, and a less experienced married woman, how could he not have some instinctual urges.

Yang Ni kept her composure, only slightly withdrawing her hand.

But it didn’t budge.

"Baosen, let me do it."

Yang Ni’s smile was still elegant, having battled through the entertainment industry for so many years, she had experienced all kinds of situations.

"Alright, you do it."

Zheng Baosen, as if nothing had happened, let go of her hand, his fingers again brushing over that smooth, supple back of her hand before he sat down with a smiling face, his beady eyes leisurely and satisfied watching Yang Ni open the wine.

Truly a top-tier actress.

Having had children already, still in such great shape,

the curves, tight waist, soft smooth skin, especially the charm of a young girl which is incomparably fetching.

Zheng Baosen slightly drew in the fragrance, he hadn’t even started drinking yet, but seemed already a bit intoxicated.

"If you can’t drink, then don’t."

Because Pei Yunxi had mentioned earlier, Yang Ni could also only pour a cup in front of her, meanwhile softly reminding.

A two-liang cup, not really much at all.

Pei Yunxi, who had seemed focused on ordering just a moment ago, seemed not to have seen anything, merely nodded.

"Yang Ni, you should take care as well."

It sounded like she was cautioning Yang Ni to drink less but could also have a double entendre.

Yang Ni revealed a smile that was hard to describe, slightly nodding.

"I’m already used to it."
