Chapter 961: Chapter 959

After her bath, Qiao Xiaren came out of the bathroom, drying her dripping wet hair, and glanced at the wall clock; it was already five in the afternoon.

She scanned around the room. Si Limo’s room was very spacious, with a comfortably large porch outside, offering a vast view. In the distance, there was a beautiful fountain and garden, the manor-style garden meticulously maintained and beautiful. The rain had stopped, the sky was a clear blue, scattered with a few strands of cloud wisps.

Si Limo stood on the porch, hands braced on the railing, his back’s smooth lines slightly arched, a cigarette tucked between his fingers. A phrase suddenly flashed through Qiao Xiaren’s mind: the view is beautiful and so is the person.

Qiao Xiaren walked towards the porch, a breeze lifting the hair on her forehead, bringing a touch of coolness and refreshing her, and she took a deep breath.

"What are you looking at?"

"I’m looking at the scenery, but thinking of you." He suddenly walked over, grasped her hand, and whispered in her ear, "Was it on purpose just now? Your bath has made me restless to the point where I want to lock you on the bed."

"It’s your own naughty thoughts, blaming me?"

"I don’t blame you; I just want you." After saying that, he scooped her up and carried her towards the bed, then pressed her down beneath him.

Lan Family Media Company

"What did you say?" Lan Tiansheng frowned upon hearing Lan Lan’s suggestion.

"Brother, I want to start a studio." Lan Lan thought her brother hadn’t understood, so she repeated her request.

"Are you out of your mind? You can’t do anything right, and now you want to start a studio?" Lan Tiansheng sneered coldly and leaned back in his chair. "You’re seeing how Qiao Xiaren opened her studio and now you want to do the same? Don’t you see your own capabilities? Starting a studio isn’t that easy. You lack experience and startup capital. Drop these ideas early on."

"Brother, what do you mean by that? Are you actually implying I can’t compare to Qiao Xiaren?" Lan Lan immediately detected a different tone in his voice.

"Since you understand, why emphasize it again?"

"You’re my brother, yet you speak for outsiders?"

"I don’t want to see the Lan Family suffer because of your antics again!" Lan Tiansheng’s anger flared up once more. "If you truly care for the Lan Family and want to do something for it, come work at the company, instead of indulging in these baseless daydreams all day!"

Right now, Lan Lan couldn’t listen to Lan Tiansheng’s words, only feeling that her brother didn’t want to help her: "Are you even part of the Lan Family? Are you my brother? Do you just want to watch Qiao Xiaren climb higher and higher, and see the Qiao Family growing stronger each day? Lan Tiansheng, you’re really a loser!"

"I’m a loser?" Lan Tiansheng was almost amused by her anger. "Who was the one speaking ill of Qiao Xiaren in front of others, getting scolded right to their face by Mrs. Si, causing the entire Lan Family to lose face?"

Lan Lan’s face turned red with shame, wanting to crawl into a hole when she remembered the incident in M Country.

She had never been so embarrassed in all her life!

"Forget it, forget it." Lan Tiansheng was simply helpless, no matter what he was still talking to his sister. "I’ll give you ten million, arrange some staff for you. Weigh your options carefully, and try to avoid making more embarrassing blunders."

Seeing Lan Tiansheng speak up, Lan Lan, even though still feeling frustrated, could only keep her mouth shut.

"Brother, to get a studio off the ground, we need a film to solidify it. I recently saw a very popular novel online. It’s said that a film company is planning to adapt it into an IP, and right now, IP is so hot, it would really boost the studio’s publicity."
