Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 340 After all, I am your uncle
Lin Yuan's warm breath brushed against Lillian's earlobe and shoulder, causing her to tremble slightly. She recalled the scene of him being tender behind her that night, and her legs went weak.

She dodged Lin Yuan's improper hand, her eyes flashing with a mixture of shyness and reproach.

She did have some feelings for Lin Yuan.

This goodwill stemmed precisely from Lin Yuan's mischief towards her.

The saying "Women love bad boys" isn't without reason, but how could she possibly agree to Lin Yuan's offer so readily?

What if Lin Yuan was just teasing him?

Not to mention that she even asked Lin Yuan to help her pursue Wang Yongzheng. What would it look like if she threw herself into Lin Yuan's arms now?
Although her heart had long since tipped in favor of Lin Yuan, she couldn't bring herself to back down from that point.

"Where haven't I touched you? Why are you being so formal?" Lin Yuan lowered his voice and continued to test Lillian's limits, his palm gently stroking her fabric, his fingertips lightly brushing against her buttocks.

Lily thought to herself, last time it was in her bed at home, but this time it's on a construction site with people coming and going, how can they be compared?

Lin Yuan continued softly, "Besides, won't we be doing this again later? What's there to be shy about?"

Lillian pushed away Lin Yuan's mischievous hand, her voice weak: "Even if that really happens later, it's just acting."

“You can turn a fake act into a real one,” Lin Yuan said with a smile. “Have you forgotten how happy you were that night?”

"Stop talking, it's clearly you who broke the rules..."

Lillian unconsciously brought her legs together, knees touching, her cheeks burning.

Having had that kind of thing happen with Lin Yuan, which he keeps bringing up, and now having to act intimately in front of Wang Yongzheng, she's almost lost the courage to even express her love to Wang Yongzheng.

Actually, at least half of her intention in coming to Songjiang was to see Lin Yuan, but she would never admit it to herself.

"Wasn't it you who insisted on crawling into my bed?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. "You're starting to disown me now that you've lifted your skirt? Aren't you happy?"

Although the two were talking in hushed tones, their eyes were fixed on the group of people negotiating not far away.

Foreman Lao Wei glanced at Lin Yuan. Having learned Lin Yuan's identity from Jiang Nansun, he stopped putting on airs and first uttered a cold remark to Wang Yongzheng: "Little Wang, if you had been more sensible earlier, would things have come to this?"

Wang Yongzheng nodded, looking rather embarrassed.

Old Wei then called out to his coworkers behind him, "Everyone, take this section of the ceiling down and reinstall it according to the design."

When Jiang Nansun turned back, Lin Yuan gently held her small hand and smoothed the hair on her forehead with his fingertips, a very intimate gesture.

Just as Jiang Nansun was about to turn his head away, Lin Yuan said softly, "Don't move, that way they won't dare to underestimate you."

"They are the ones who shouldn't underestimate you."

Although Jiang Nansun said that, he didn't move his body.

“Only those with both ability and connections deserve more respect.” Lin Yuan ran his fingertips through her hair. “Didn’t you just use my tiger skin as a coat?”

Hearing their conversation, Wang Yongzheng felt a pang of jealousy. He harbored feelings for Jiang Nansun, and no matter how high-sounding Lin Yuan's words sounded, he was the first to disbelieve that there was nothing fishy going on between them.

Lin Yuan and Jiang Nansun were intimate for a short while before he gently let go of each other's hands.

The construction site quickly became busy, and Jiang Nansun was no exception, leaving only Lin Yuan and Lillian as the only ones with nothing to do.

Lin Yuan nudged Lillian with his elbow and teased, "Don't you think Wang Yongzheng's charm is no match for mine? It's not too late to switch sides now."

Although Lillian had this thought, she still stubbornly said, "No."

If he admitted it, how could he ever hold his head high in front of Lin Yuan again?

"Then tell me, in what ways is he better than me?"

"He's handsome."

"Is he as handsome as me?"

"He is talented."

"Is he as handsome as me?"

"He sings well."

"Is he as handsome as me?"

"Could you use a different word?"

"I made you happy."

Lillian reached out and covered Lin Yuan's mouth.

Lin Yuan lightly licked her palm with the tip of his tongue, and Lillian then withdrew her hand.

He continued, "I made you happy."

Lillian glared at him, both angry and embarrassed. Unable to stand it any longer, she turned around and went to Wang Yongzheng's side, grabbing his sleeve and asking, "Wang Yongzheng, when are you going to finish work here?"

Wang Yongzheng wasn't very interested in Lillian. After all, she was his mentor's daughter. Going out to eat and have fun together was fine, but if he actually slept with her and then didn't take responsibility, Professor Dong would definitely skin him alive.

Therefore, he always kept his distance from Lillian, avoiding her whenever possible.

Wang Yongzheng pleaded with a pained expression, "Lillian, please, let me go."

"Why?" Lillian frowned. "I like you, why should I let you go?"

"Because I have someone I like."

"Who? I don't know anyone. Don't try to fool me with a made-up name."

Wang Yongzheng sighed and said seriously, "Really, but not the outgoing and unrestrained type like you. I prefer the introverted and artistic type."

"Who is it?"

"Jiang Nansun".

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nansun immediately stopped, wondering how he had gotten himself into this mess.

Although she had heard Lin Yuan mention this matter, Wang Yongzheng hadn't explicitly stated it, so she pretended not to know, since it wasn't her business.

But now that Wang Yongzheng has said this in front of Lillian, whether it's the truth or he's using himself as a shield, how is she supposed to face Lillian and Professor Dong in the future?

I was only able to get this internship because of Lillian's kindness.

After realizing what was happening, Jiang Nansun shouted angrily, "Wang Yongzheng, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Lillian clearly didn't believe it: "Yes, and she has a boyfriend."

“I’m serious. I don’t care about her good-for-nothing boyfriend.” Wang Yongzheng really didn’t take Zhang Anren seriously. Instead, he thought Lin Yuan would be difficult to deal with. He changed the subject, “Lilian, you deserve better.”

"Wang Yongzheng! You are utterly unreasonable!"

Jiang Nansun put down his work, prepared to take off his safety helmet, and turned to leave.

"You really don't like me? Not at all."

"Yes, I don't like it at all."

Lillian was indignant. Why did all these men, one after another, like Jiang Nansun?

Where am I inferior to Jiang Nansun?

She walked a few steps to Lin Yuan's side, reached out and tightly grabbed his arm, deliberately rubbing her chest against his arm, almost pressing her whole body against it. She looked at Wang Yongzheng and said, feigning resentment, "If you don't like me, then forget it."

She tilted her head and leaned it on Lin Yuan's shoulder, her voice sweet and coquettish: "He doesn't like me, do you like me?"

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, cooperatively raised his hand, and gently placed his fingertips on the hand that was linked with his arm. He looked at Wang Yongzheng with a half-smile: "How can I refuse such a blessing that has been delivered to my door? Besides, I don't have a girlfriend. Isn't this a perfect match?"

As he spoke, he put his arm around Lillian's waist.

Jiang Nansun stopped unbuttoning his helmet, his brows furrowing slightly in confusion. But he quickly realized what was going on; this must be the acting the two of them had been talking about yesterday.

Could it be that Lin Yuan is trying to help Lillian win over Wang Yongzheng in this way?
Wang Yongzheng could obviously see that Lillian was deliberately being stubborn, but considering that this was in front of Jiang Nansun, Jiang Nansun would inevitably distance himself from Lin Yuan's behavior.

Isn't this a perfect opportunity for him to shine?

"Lillian, I really don't like you, but please don't do this. How am I supposed to explain this to your father?"

"Who said it's because of you? Couldn't it be that she was attracted to my good looks?" Lin Yuan patted Lillian's shapely buttocks. "It's so boring staying here, let's find somewhere else to have some fun."

Lin Yuan put his arm around Lillian's waist, and they left together.

Jiang Nansun also snorted heavily at Wang Yongzheng in dissatisfaction, took off his helmet, and prepared to follow the two who were leaving.

Wang Yongzheng hurriedly chased after her and stopped her: "Hey, are you trying to skip work again today?"

Jiang Nansun glared at him fiercely, her tone resolute: "I will never come here again."

Wang Yongzheng quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have used you as a shield, but you shouldn't have given up on this project."

Jiang Nansun ignored him and quickly walked out with small, quick steps.

Wang Yongzheng watched her retreating figure and shouted, "You really can't give up on the Songjiang project. It will be very helpful for your future studies, and I promise I won't make this joke again."

Jiang Nansun did not pause in his steps, pretending not to hear.

On the other side, as he turned the corner with Lillian in his arms, Lillian broke free and complained, "That trick you mentioned is completely useless."

"There are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one?" Lin Yuan pinned her against the wall, pinching her chin with his left hand, and teased with a smile, "Since he doesn't like you, wouldn't it be better to face reality sooner rather than later?"

Lillian's cheeks flushed, her eyes began to flicker, and she placed her hands on his chest, feeling his firm muscles even through the fabric. She retorted defiantly, "But you said this trick would work."

"If you want a boyfriend, I'll give you one."

Lin Yuan grabbed her hand and leaned down to kiss her domineeringly.

"Um..."

After a passionate kiss, Lillian was dizzy from the kiss, and her lips were slowly pried open.

Lillian struggled at first, but as their lips intertwined, a strange thrill gradually rose within her, and she involuntarily responded to Lin Yuan.

Forced to practice lung capacity with Lin Yuan for a minute, she immediately opened her eyes wide and made a series of "uh-uh-uh" sounds when she heard footsteps approaching from afar.

She just said she liked Wang Yongzheng in front of so many people, but then she turned around and was passionately kissing Lin Yuan. How embarrassing would it be if people found out?

Lin Yuan then released her. Seeing that the person who came to the door was Jiang Nansun, Lin Yuan asked, "Why did you leave too?"

Jiang Nansun lowered his eyes and said in a low, muffled voice, "I don't want to do my internship here anymore."

Lin Yuan frowned and looked her up and down.

Jiang Nansun pursed her lips as she was being stared at.

"Just because of what Wang Yongzheng said?"

Jiang Nansun responded softly.

Lin Yuan pinched her fair cheek: "Is your little head filled with cotton or water? You're giving up such a good internship opportunity over something so trivial?"

Princess Jiang was spoiled and pampered, so she definitely needed his strict discipline.

Jiang Nansun slapped his hand away and said angrily, "It's clearly him talking nonsense, it's not my fault."

"That's even more outrageous. You're such a grown man, yet you're punishing yourself for someone else's mistake. Does that mean that from now on, every boss who says they like you will want to quit their job and run away?"

“I’ve disliked him for a long time,” Jiang Nansun said, speechless after Lin Yuan’s retort. She looked at Lillian, whose face was flushed, and said, “Besides, I wouldn’t be here without Lillian’s help. Now he’s putting me in such an awkward position…”

Thanks to Lin Yuan's previous instigation, Jiang Nansun had a very bad impression of Wang Yongzheng.

Lin Yuan retorted, "What do you mean by Lillian's help? Isn't it all thanks to me?"

Lillian then spoke up, "Jiang Nansun, you don't need to feel embarrassed. Whether he likes me or not has nothing to do with you, and I won't have my dad deliberately target you."

Lin Yuan tapped Jiang Nansun on the head: "You don't even have the ability to support yourself right now, all you can do is obediently accept it. Or are you saying you don't even want to earn this salary and will rely on Zhang Anren in the future? Even if you want to rely on him, he may not have the ability to let you rely on him. Unless you have the power to overturn the table, you don't have the capital to be willful."

Jiang Nansun stiffened his neck, knowing that everything Lin Yuan said made sense, but he still looked at him defiantly: "I didn't, but you did, didn't you?"

Lin Yuan lightly lifted her chin: "You're not my girlfriend, why should I help you? Just because you're pretty, and you think too highly of yourself?"

Jiang Nansun turned her face away and snorted softly, but Tun'er was suddenly slapped.

"What are you humming about?"

Jiang Nansun pursed her lips and said angrily, "You!"

"This is a small punishment for your willfulness."

Lin Yuan looked at Lillian, mouthed "wait for me here," took Jiang Nansun's hand, and walked back into the construction site.

"Go back with me."

Jiang Nansun let Lin Yuan lead him back.

Otherwise, she would have gone back right after making those harsh remarks, and given her proud and arrogant nature, she would have been too embarrassed to do so. It would have been better if Lin Yuan had taken her along.

“You were already absent from work yesterday, you can’t be absent from work again without a reason today. You plan to apply for Professor Dong’s doctoral program in the future, what will he think of this?”

Lin Yuan's tone, which sounded like he was doing it for Jiang Nansun's own good, warmed her heart. She whispered, "Thank you."

Lin Yuan raised the corners of his mouth. He was planning to go out and have fun with Lillian later. If Jiang Nansun left with him, what would it look like if she, as a third wheel, followed along?

When the two returned hand in hand, Wang Yongzheng's gaze immediately swept over them. Seeing their clasped hands, he felt a mix of emotions.

He felt that the relationship between Jiang Nansun and Zhang Anren was not very deep, which gave him an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, but he was also troubled by having such a formidable opponent as Lin Yuan.

Despite her best efforts to persuade Jiang Nansun to stay, she received no response. In the short time that followed, Lin Yuan led her back by the hand.

This was a huge blow to him.

Lin Yuan picked up Jiang Nansun's helmet and put it on her, deftly tying the strap with his fingertips.

Jiang Nansun muttered, "Didn't you say you didn't know how to do it?"

"I'm very intelligent. I learned it after watching you demonstrate it twice. Is that not allowed?"

Jiang Nansun pursed his lips, making a disbelieving expression.

Lin Yuan raised his voice and said, "It was obvious that Teacher Wang was joking with you just now, why did you take it seriously?"

Without hesitation, Wang Yongzheng quickly replied, "Yes, classmate Jiang Nansun, I apologize for the inappropriate joke I just made."

Jiang Nansun pursed his lips and didn't respond.

Lin Yuan patted her on the back: "Go to work, I'm going back now. Call me if anything happens..."

He leaned close to her ear and said, "After all, I'm still your uncle."

Jiang Nansun's gratitude towards Lin Yuan vanished instantly, and she pushed him away reproachfully.

Lin Yuan turned and left; Lillian was no longer there.

He wasn't surprised; if Lillian obediently stayed and waited for him, it would be as if she were openly saying she was at his mercy.

However, he probably hadn't gone far, as he turned and walked downstairs.
