Chapter 492: 492 was still careless today

Shi Lan rose from her chair and stood beside Yan Shixiu, both watching the several brats.

The fear of sudden silence was palpable, and moments later, the youngsters felt their breathing quicken. Legs trembling, they took a few steps back, and then respectfully bowed to Yan Shixiu, "Good day, Sister-in-law Yan."

Having his identity acknowledged in such an intimate circle put Yan in quite a good mood, his lips curling slightly as he responded, "Hello to you."

"Oh my God, I actually spoke to the boss!"

"I’m a boy, and even I’m about to be swept off my feet by Yan."

Shi Lan looked at them with a dangerous glint in her eye.

The kids, taking the hint, immediately said to Shi Lan, "Sister An Lan, is it too late to take back what we just said?"

"Watch your mouths. Don’t go spreading this around, and maybe I’ll let you live."

Upon hearing this, they all gestured zipping their lips, promising not to blabber about it.

Shi Lan knew their character well enough not to worry, but she turned her attention to the little rascal.

The rascal could never have imagined that his brother-in-law would turn out to be the unapproachable Yan Shixiu, the chairman of Shuangshi, so he was still trying to wrap his head around it.

"Is it really the brother-in-law you’re talking about, like in the married sense?"

Shi Lan pointed to herself and Yan Shixiu, answering, "Husband and wife."

The little rascal was stunned.

Seeing him space out provoked laughter among the others, "Look at that hopeless look, what a piece of work."

At that moment, Yan Shixiu glanced at his watch and then told Shi Lan, "Director Qi wants to see you, and there’s still some time. Do you want to go?"

"Let’s go," said Shi Lan.

Since everyone already knew they were acquainted, walking together was bound to draw some attention, but it shouldn’t be a big deal.

As the two were about to leave the lounge, Xun Yinghua stayed back, warning everyone not to leak any details about their marital status.

The kids understood the gravity of the matter and reassured her that they would keep their mouths sealed tight.

Confident in the kids’ integrity, Xun Yinghua also left the lounge without worry.

As soon as the trio left, the lounge burst into excited shrieks.

"Sister An Lan is so low-key, right? Little Anzai, did you really have no clue?" They crowded around An Yang, asking, "There wasn’t even a hint of it before, and Sister An Lan was even posting on social media about being just ’like’ buddies."

"Precisely because she’s low-key can one say that Sister An Lan isn’t vain. I mean, anyone marrying an Asian tycoon would make sure the whole world knew, right? But look at Sister An Lan, she doesn’t let a single punctuation mark slip, she suffers and works hard with us, never asking for special treatment."

"Little Anzai, you don’t have to be so shocked. With or without a brother-in-law, what would change?" a teammate asked An Yang.

Having heard this, the rascal shook his head, "As long as my sister is happy, that’s all that matters."

"I remember you worked so hard to get An Lan to sign with Peak because of that..."

An Yang laughed softly, then said with a lift of weight off his shoulders, "In the past, I might have done it for my sister, but from now on, I’ll do it for myself. My sister has such a background and never took advantage of it, still working hard like the rest of us. What excuse do we have to slack off?"

The words ignited a fiery passion in the others.

Youth is about giving everything you’ve got and having no regrets.

"No matter how we all end up, I think we should always remember the bond of today. Sister An Lan has helped us so much, taught us so much, and we absolutely must not let her down or the fair platform that Peak has given us. Let’s all work hard together!"

...

Meanwhile, when Shi Lan and Yan Shixiu walked together, the effect was truly explosive.

Even though they moved quickly, and Shi Lan wore a hat,

their synchronized stride and matching auras caught the attention of the staff, who soon gathered to gossip.

"How come those two are together?"

"They knew each other from before, just happened to bump into each other. Honestly, they both have this demeanor of not caring about anyone else."

"I wonder if there’ll be a collaboration? Ahh, An Lan seems so lucky to be by Yan’s side."

The pair, amidst various speculations and comments, finally made it to Director Qi’s office.

"Today was quite hasty." The young lady rubbed her temple, feeling a headache coming on.

Yan, on the other hand, was quite accustomed to such an atmosphere. After all, before he had won over the young lady, he’d always been in this mode of serenely watching others play their parts.

Yan, did you do this on purpose today?"

Of course, Yan wouldn’t admit it, "Wronged. I’ve been listening to my wife the whole time."

The young lady snorted lightly and then knocked on the director’s office door.

Director Qi’s face lit up with joy at the sight of the couple.

He was particularly proud of the blockbuster success of "Superstar," which had allowed him to hold his head high in triumph.

"My benefactors, please come in and take a seat."

...

Back to the discussion of the brats after they left the lounge, they encountered other teammates and talked about the relationship between Yan Shixiu and Shi Lan.

"We heard the gossip just now, saying that Sister An Lan was actually walking with Yan. Is that true? What’s their relationship?"

The brats waved their hands hastily, pretending to know nothing, and explained to the teammates, "They’re acquaintances, I guess. It’s said that Yan had bumped into An Lan before, so that’s why he might have taken some care of her."

"Exactly, why are you all gossiping about this? Sister An Lan herself said they’re just ’like’ buddies."

"You still have the mood to gossip about others when we’re about to go on stage."

"But seriously, Little Anzai, do you think Sister An Lan’s dance skills will be okay?"

When the rascal was suddenly asked about it, the corners of his mouth curled upward, "No choice, I got involved, all I can do is wait and see in a bit."

"Haha, I can still picture Sister An Lan doing the radio exercises, boy oh boy, that’s a tough one."

Hmph! Just wait, I’ll be stunning your eyes blind in a moment!
