The entertainment empire began with Liu Yifei's premarital pregnancy.

"Ahem, I'll treat you to lunch later!"

Lin Bufan sensed that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he coughed a few times and looked at Yang Mi to change the subject.

"snort!"

"That's more like it!"

Yang Mi snorted, her expression seemingly calm, but her shifty eyes betrayed her inner unease.

"By the way, is your Sisi coming over tomorrow?"

Yang Mi suddenly remembered the phone call Lin Bufan received on the way back.

Lin Bufan nodded slightly.

Wan Qian just called to tell him that she's flying to Beijing tomorrow and wants him to pick her up, since they haven't seen each other for several months.

"I'm quite curious, she's from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and you're from the Beijing Film Academy, how did you two meet despite being so far apart?"

Yang Mi looked at Lin Bufan, her heart filled with curiosity.

Do you remember that time you climbed the Great Wall in 03?

Lin Bufan looked down at Da Mimi.

"Remember!"

Yang Mi certainly remembered that the scoundrel knew she couldn't climb any further, but he didn't care about her and let her go down alone while he continued to climb up.

"You mean?"

After Yang Mi finished speaking, she realized something and looked up at Lin Bufan.

"That's right!"

Lin Bufan nodded: "That's when we met."

At the time, Yang Mi had her best friend with her; otherwise, Lin Bufan wouldn't have continued climbing the Great Wall alone.

It was during that time, when Lin Bufan continued climbing the second half of the trail, that he first encountered Wan Qian.

"What about Dong Xuan?"

Yang Mi continued to look at Lin Bufan with curiosity.

"She's my senior from high school, so of course we met at school."

Lin Bufan said it as a matter of course.

"Forget it! I won't ask Chen Zihan anymore..."

Back in the Condor Heroes crew, Yang Mi played Guo Xiang, Chen Zihan played Guo Fu, and Lin Bufan was the assistant director.

When they were on set, Yang Mi witnessed Lin Bufan hooking up with the other person.

"You bastard, you have such a beautiful woman like me right next to you and you just ignore me..." Da Mimi was very unhappy.

"By the way, didn't anything happen between you and Liu Tianxian?"

Yang Mi's eyes darted around, and she looked at Lin Bufan with a playful expression.

"With Aunt Liu around, what do you think could possibly happen between me and her?"

Lin Bufan looked at Yang Mi speechlessly.

On set, Liu Yifei's mother, Liu Xiaoli, was always by her side for every scene, ensuring that no one could get close to her.

Yang Mi knew, of course, that she was doing it on purpose. "You, Lin Bufan, aren't you supposed to be a Casanova? If you're so great, why don't you go and win over Liu Yifei!"

Undeniably, Yang Mi admires Liu Yifei.

"you……"

Yang Mi was about to speak when she was interrupted by a suddenly ringing phone.

"Quickly, see which one of your little sweethearts is it!"

Yang Mi lay on Lin Bufan's lap, and as she spoke, she turned to the side, picked up Lin Bufan's phone from the coffee table, and handed it to him.

"Feed?"

Lin Bufan took the phone and glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar number.

"I am pregnant!"

The four words that came through the phone startled Lin Bufan.

"No, who are you? What does your pregnancy have to do with me?"

Lin Bufan replied subconsciously.

After he finished speaking, he felt the voice sounded somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place it: "Wait, who are you?"

Lin Bufan has always insisted on using rubber, except during the other person's safe period, for fear of getting pregnant, since he hasn't even graduated from university yet.

But as for the concept of a "safe period," everyone who knows knows there's no such thing as an absolutely safe one.

In an instant, Lin Bufan thought of all the girls he had ever been intimate with, excluding those from high school, focusing mainly on those from the last month or two.

"Dong Xuan?"

Lin Bufan shook his head; the voice on the other end was clearly not Dong Xuan's.

It's even more impossible for Chen Zihan and Wan Qian to be together. After filming for "The Return of the Condor Heroes" wrapped up, Chen Zihan returned to her hometown of Chongqing and hasn't come back yet. Wan Qian is still performing in a stage play, and the two haven't seen each other for several months. She won't arrive in Beijing until tomorrow.

"Could it be Wang Luodan?"

In the past month, he had played a friendly match with Wang Luodan, and because it was a safe period, he did not use rubber.

But the voice just now didn't sound quite right!

But that's not necessarily true, since the sound from mobile phone microphones these days is distorted.

Just as Lin Bufan was making his own guesses, the other party's voice came through the microphone again.

"I am Liu Yifei!"

"What? You're Liu..."

Lin Bufan was shocked after hearing this.

First, he was shocked that Liu Yifei was pregnant. Second, he was shocked that he and Liu Yifei were not very familiar with each other, let alone had any relationship, yet she was pregnant and called him.

"She's not trying to make me take the blame, is she?"

Lin Bufan admitted that Liu Yifei is indeed very beautiful, but that is absolutely not a reason for him to take the blame.

"I know it's hard for you to believe right now."

Liu Yifei's voice came through the phone again.

"I'm at United Family Hospital. We'll talk when you get there."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Bufan was a little stunned. Of course he knew about Harmony Family Hospital, the best private hospital in Beijing. Liu Yifei was a big star, and she was pregnant. She definitely couldn't go to a public hospital.

"Lin Bufan, who's pregnant?"

Seeing Lin Bufan hang up the phone, Yang Mi sat up straight and looked at him intently.

"Forehead……"

Lin Bufan glanced at Yang Mi, shook his head, and then said, "You can take care of your own lunch. I'm going out for a bit."

"No, who's pregnant?"

Even after Lin Bufan left the house and Yang Mi chased after him to the door, she still couldn't find out who he was.

Who is it?

"Liu? Liu what?"

Yang Mi pondered, none of Lin Bufan's girlfriends had the surname Liu.

……

Upon arriving at the entrance of the residential compound, Lin Bufan hailed a taxi and headed straight for United Family Hospital.

"Could it be that the child in Liu Yifei's belly is really mine?"

Lin Bufan continued to ponder in the taxi.

He was certain that he had never had a relationship with Liu Yifei, but Liu Yifei's phone call just now was really hard to understand.

[Ding, cooldown time is up, system is activating...]

Just then, a familiar voice reached Lin Bufan's ears.

"System, you've finally activated!"

Hearing the voice, Lin Bufan felt a surge of excitement.

The system appeared when he was three years old, but it was in a cooling-off period at the time. Lin Bufan never expected that it would take a full eighteen years for the system to finish cooling off.

[System activation complete!]

A few seconds later, the system's voice sounded again.

After some investigation, Lin Bufan learned that this system was a sign-in system, which was divided into four types: daily sign-in, weekly sign-in, monthly sign-in, and yearly sign-in.

[Ding! Congratulations, host! The system has been activated, and you've received a newbie gift pack!]

Do you wish to open it?

"Is there a new player gift pack?"
