Recognized by My Ex After Being Reborn
Chapter 276 - Chapter 276 276 Tonight nobody look for me

Chapter 276: 276 Tonight, nobody look for me. Chapter 276: 276 Tonight, nobody look for me. The Shuangshi Establishment trended on hot search for a whole day, and the legendary businesswoman Shi Lan also became the focus of the media.

This couple’s relationship could hardly be considered good, but when the media dug deeper, they found no evidence of the two calculating against each other, nor did they uncover the ugly spats common among the power couples. Instead, they unearthed stories about a female tycoon spending lavishly on her husband and the noble son-in-law giving up the arts to go into business for his wife’s sake.

They were actually positive stories!

The Yan Family also made hot searches, but unlike the praiseworthy tales, they faced only the ridicule of netizens.

By comparison, Shi Lan would rather her old photos be plastered everywhere than see Shi Xiu brought down from his pedestal by the Yan Family’s incompetence.

The movie set was extremely stuffy late at night, and during the night scene, Gu Chengyu looked at Shi Lan, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Today, with the founding of Shuangshi, he had watched a few videos and knew that Yan Shixiu had deep feelings for his deceased wife. But now Yan Shixiu was clearly with An Lan–wasn’t this unfair to her?

Gu Chengyu had his doubts, but his concern was born out of care–he feared that An Lan might be deceived again.

Chen Beini also sensed something and, thinking that Shi Lan’s unhappiness today had to do with Yan Shixiu’s speech at the inauguration, said to Shi Lan, “Husband, men are pigs’ trotters. If you’re unhappy, just dump all the smelly men.”

“What makes you think I’m unhappy?” Shi Lan countered.

“Both eyes! If President Yan really can’t forget his wife, he shouldn’t have come to bother you. What is this? On one hand, he gets cozy with you, and on the other, he sells the image of a devoted husband. Isn’t this playboy behavior?”

After hearing this, Shi Lan couldn’t help but snort with laughter, “You can tell playboy behavior?”

“I…” Chen Beini choked, “I just care about you.”

“No need, I’m fine. You won’t understand what’s between him and me, so don’t speculate.” Shi Lan explained.

“All right then… Since you said so, and your brain is sharper than ours, I’ll relax. I’m just afraid you might get tricked.”

Shi Lan nodded and continued to focus on the script.

However, just before the last scene started shooting, the staff brought over drinks and late-night snacks, saying, “President Yan has invited everyone for a midnight meal, so fill your bellies before we continue working.”

In the cover of night, Yan Shixiu’s figure appeared on the set.

Shi Lan glanced to the side and, using the illumination from the set lights, mouthed to the man, “Go take a shower.”

After Yan Shixiu understood, he turned to his assistant and said, “I won’t be going into the office tomorrow morning, postpone all meetings.”

Xun Yinghua briefly caught Shi Lan’s gaze from a distance, then quickly snapped back to reality and said, “Then I’ll come to pick you up in the afternoon.”

…

The end of the shoot approached eleven o’clock.

As Shi Lan left the set, she told Chen Beini and Sun Ling, “Don’t look for me tonight.”

Chen Beini and Sun Ling exchanged glances, casting ambiguous looks at Shi Lan, “Looks like you’re up to no good…”

“Settling accounts,” Shi Lan said indifferently.

“Boss, don’t worry, I guarantee no one will come near Room 1117. You can settle your accounts with President Yan in peace,” Sun Ling raised his hand to promise.

Shi Lan nodded in satisfaction, and after removing her makeup, she took her phone back to the hotel room.

However, when she pushed open the door to Room 1117, she didn’t find President Yan’s figure, so the young lady sent him a message on WeChat.

Shi Lan: “??”

President Yan: “I’m next door, there’s a room card on the table.”

No one knew that Room 1118 was occupied, so there would be even fewer disturbances.

Shi Lan picked up the room card and went to 1118. When she pushed the door open, only a bedside lamp was left on in the room, and the temperature was very cool.

Shi Lan walked inside, entering the bedroom. By then, Yan Shixiu had already finished his bath, lying on the left side of the large bed, his lower body modestly covered by a white duvet.

Yan Shixiu, hearing the noise, turned his head to look at Shi Lan and asked, “Do you want to take a bath first?”

“Give me five minutes,” the big boss Shi purposefully ignored the lines of Yan’s back muscles and strode into the bathroom.

Yan Shixiu chuckled softly and lay back down. Five minutes later, he saw Shi Lan appear punctually at the bedroom door.

As soon as the door closed, he reached out and pulled the woman close to the bed, his right hand directly pulling open her black bathrobe.

But before things heated up, Yan Shixiu leaned over and whispered in the young miss’s ear, “What time does the shoot start tomorrow?”

“After ten,” Shi Lan answered.

“So tonight, are we sleeping?”

“Not sleeping,” Shi Lan gave an affirmative answer.

With that, her lips were completely conquered.

Since they were all too familiar with each other’s preferences in bed, there was no need for communication. Any words would just be a waste of time.

Even in bed, Shi Lan didn’t abandon her assertive side. She knew what she wanted, her aim clear. With Yan, it was always a collision between the strong, both savoring the sensuality of conquering and being conquered.

That night, Yan Shixiu completely let himself go wild.

From the moment he knew he hadn’t lost Shi Lan, he was mad, and all politeness and restraint were born of his love for Shi Lan.

In their sweating, the occasional whispers that escaped their lips were possessive, “Will you leave me again? Hm? Shi Lan, next time, the gravesite you purchased will bury the both of us.”

Shi Lan bit back just as fiercely, warning, “Remember this, Yan Shixiu, in this world, the only one we can truly trust is each other. Your life and death can only be tied to me. My man, once I have a grip on him, I will never let go. If you ever change your heart…”

“Would you like me to cut out my heart for you to see?” Yan Shixiu interrupted her, “I wish I could lock you up, only allowing you to talk to me, only be with me, and engrave my name all over you, letting the whole world know who you belong to.”

“The same goes for me!”

This night was about release, possession, affirming the other’s unique place in their hearts.

As dawn spread a gray hue, Yan Shixiu kissed the scars on Shi Lan’s wrist saying, “Wonder if the hospital can remove these scars.”

Leaning against the headboard, Shi Lan asked with a laugh, “Are you jealous? I didn’t make those cuts…”

“They are an eyesore,” Yan resolutely interjected.

Hooking her arm around his neck, Shi Lan provocatively teased, “And to think you claim to be the dutiful twenty-four-act boyfriend, yet break character the moment you’re in bed, Director Yan.”

“Everything I do is to make you happy, it’s not a conflict.” Having said that, Yan Shixiu got up and went to the bathroom.

Shi Lan laughed unrestrainedly, quite satisfied with Yan’s possessiveness.

When he came back from his bath, his demeanor softened a bit, as if he were back to being the Yan Shixiu of everyday life.

“The water’s ready, care for a soak?”

Shi Lan nodded and reached out toward Yan Shixiu.

Yan Shixiu lifted her out of the bed and placed her in the bathtub, asking, “Is your body alright? If you’re feeling tired…”

“Even if I’m tired, it won’t be for much longer,” the young miss said. After a pause, she glanced at Yan Shixiu and continued, “When the time comes, would Director Yan please cooperate more, sparing some time for marital life?”
