Chapter 108: Chapter 108 : Lang Yuxuan’s Very Urgent Matter

Shen Jingwei laughed.

"Who, exactly? You are the closest one to me. Maybe you are SS."

Zhu Dongyi guffawed.

"Little Shen, if I buy a hundred red roses for someone other than my wife, she will cut me into a thousand pieces before midnight arrives."

"..."

Such graphic detail. Mrs. Zhu was usually so gentle and friendly on the outside. On the inside, she must secretly be a tiger.

"Well then, I will leave you for today. Tomorrow morning, we will sit together and talk about your schedule for the next week."

"Bye, Old Zhu. Be careful on your way home."

Shen Jingwei flipped the card between two fingers playfully as he maneuvered his way to his bedroom.

Supreme Spearmaster.

The nickname unmistakably alluded to a certain character who happened to be his love interest in "Dance Of The Dragons".

Unfortunately, he was not the only one.

Shen Jingwei tossed his bag onto the bed and went through a pile of fan letters.

Take this fan, for example.

He used the nickname "Longjing Palace Master".

Or this one with the nickname "Three Realm Spear Master".

Or this one, "Supreme General Zhang".

They all referred to Zhang Fengxi.

The person hiding behind the nickname Supreme Spearmaster could be anyone.

But there were only a handful of people who knew his fondness of cake, particularly the ones from J’Adore. Or was it all just a lucky guess?

Shen Jingwei curled up on the bed and mused.

Yeah, the person probably just made a lucky guess.

J’Adore was a famous patisserie, anyway. A lot of people liked their products.

It couldn’t be that person.

Shen Jingwei’s eyelids were heavy from exhaustion. They slowly drooped shut and he fell asleep in no time.

His night progressed in quite an uneventful manner.

Across the city, in his own apartment, Lang Yuxuan was rather restless.

He just ended his phone call with Feng Jietang, and he did not like what he heard at all.

They kissed.

Shen Jingwei kissed his Senior Yan.

Lang Yuxuan grabbed a pillow and hurled it across his bedroom angrily.

How dared he!

Feng Jietang confessed to him and he went on to kiss his Senior Yan!

Poor Senior Yan. Despite his tough exterior, he was actually gullible. He was so easily ensnared into Shen Jingwei’s honey trap.

This could not go on any longer.

Lang Yuxuan had to do something, and fast.

It was already late at night, but he knew Wen Guilin was still awake.

He thus typed down a string of messages to Wen Guilin.

Lang Yuxuan : "Manager Wen, good evening."

Lang Yuxuan : "I need to know Senior Yan’s schedule for tomorrow. Can you please send it to me?"

After only three minutes, Wen Guilin replied.

Wen Guilin : "Little Lang, Yan Renzhong is fully booked tomorrow."

Lang Yuxuan : "I only need to talk to him for five minutes."

Wen Guilin : "Even five minutes is not possible. He will go abroad for a movie shooting tomorrow morning."

Lang Yuxuan could barely believe his eyes.

Lang Yuxuan : "But we just finished filming at the farming village! Aren’t we all getting some break???"

Wen Guilin : "*sighing emoji* Actors of Yan Renzhong’s caliber are all very busy. Moreover, celebrities aren’t always at the top of their game. It’s wise to put in the hard work during their prime and savor the fruits of their labor later."

Lang Yuxuan scoffed.

Lang Yuxuan : "So this means that Senior Yan is only free tonight, is that correct?"

Wen Guilin : "Correct. But Little Lang, you should not go and disturb him. He worked really hard at..."

Lang Yuxuan turned off his phone screen before reading the rest of Wen Guilin’s message.

Wen Guilin simply did not understand.

He had something very important to tell Yan Renzhong, and it couldn’t wait at all!

Barely thirty minutes later, Lang Yuxuan arrived at Red Jade Pavilion.

He was a frequent visitor to Red Jade Pavilion, so all security guards knew him by name and face.

Getting access was never a problem. Not for him.

With confident strides, he marched toward the security guard post at the gate.

"I would like to visit Mr. Yan Renzhong, please."

"Please wait."

The security guard went through a list before he politely informed Lang Yuxuan that, "Mr. Yan Renzhong has barred entry to any visitor starting from 5 PM today."

Lang Yuxuan’s jaw almost hit the floor.

"5 PM???"

"That is correct."

"But... But this is urgent. Can’t you just call him? Tell him that Lang Yuxuan is here."

The security guard remained impassive to his distress.

"If it is that urgent, Mr. Lang, I suggest you call Mr. Yan yourself."

Lang Yuxuan gritted his teeth.

If he gave Yan Renzhong a call now, Yan Renzhong would ask him what business he had so late at night.

He didn’t want to confess his feelings through the phone!

Especially not in front of the security guard!

"Never mind," Lang Yuxuan snapped. "I would like to visit Ms. Ye Lingxia instead!"

The security guard brought Lang Yuxuan to Ye Lingxia’s door a while later.

Ye Lingxia, who had been sleeping until a while ago, removed her facial mask and frowned at her junior.

"Little Lang, what are you doing here so late at night?"

"I am so sorry Senior Ye, I am in a hurry. Let’s talk later!’

"What? Hey! Hey!" Ye Lingxia shouted after Lang Yuxuan, who bolted away like a thief in the night.

"Seriously," she grumbled before closing the door.

Lang Yuxuan knew Yan Renzhong’s apartment by heart. It just happened to be three floors higher than Ye Lingxia’s, in the same building.

He skipped two steps at once as he ran all the way upstairs until he arrived in front of apartment 58C.

Panting heavily, he had to lean against an adjacent wall for a while to catch his breath.

Once he was ready, he rang the doorbell.

After some time, Yan Renzhong’s voice was heard through the intercom.

"... Who is it?"

"It’s me!" Lang Yuxuan piped up. "Senior, can I please come in? I only need to talk to you for a while!"

A moment of hesitation followed, and then a blatant rejection.

"I am busy tonight," Yan Renzhong said. "I will contact you after I return from abroad."

"But Senior, this is urgent!" Lang Yuxuan insisted. "I cannot wait that long!"

And then, he heard a childlike voice in reply, "Papa, who is that?"
