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

"Hi, Xiao Cai, long time no see!"

Inside a bar in Causeway Bay, Lin Bufan greeted Cai Zhuoyan, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, then plopped down next to Gillian Chung, casually picked her up, and placed her on his lap.

"Jiaojiao, look at him..."

Cai Zhuoyan looked at Ajiao, then gazed at Lin Bufan with some resentment.

"I can't help it!"

Gillian shrugged and looked helplessly at Cai Zhuoyan.

What could she possibly do? Lin Bufan wouldn't listen to her anyway.

"snort!"

Cai Zhuoyan sniffed at Lin Bufan, snorted, and turned away from him.

After that night at the villa in Tseung Kwan O, she did linger in her thoughts for a long time until she finally realized that it was all a misunderstanding.

Through daily interactions, she could tell that she wasn't Lin Bufan's type, and at the same time, she felt that she liked Prince Ji.

"Just the two of you!"

Lin Bufan glanced around; there wasn't a single outsider among them.

"Ah Rong and Sister Mian will be here soon!"

As they were talking, Rong Zuer and Huo Wenxi walked over.

"Mr. Lin!"

The two walked over, greeted Lin Bufan first, and then greeted Cai Zhuoyan and Ajiao before sitting down to the side.

"I have to say, you guys in Hong Kong really love going to bars..."

Lin Bufan shook his head as he looked at the group of women. In the dance floor not far away, he also saw several actors from the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

After Gillian Chung returned today, she told Lin Bufan that she had arranged to meet Cai Zhuoyan and the others at a bar, so Lin Bufan came straight to the bar after returning from the hospital.

"What's the point of going home if you don't go to bars!"

Rong Zuer picked up a glass of wine that the waiter had just brought her, shrugged, and said casually.

That's life in Hong Kong; they can't think of anywhere else to go for entertainment besides bars.

The truly wealthy go to golf courses. They didn't develop this habit growing up. Besides, even though they are big stars, if they went to play golf, even the caddies would probably look down on them.

In the entire Hong Kong entertainment circle, only Jackie Chan occasionally goes golfing with some wealthy people. Even his most frequent activity is playing in bars.

"No wonder everyone says Hong Kong's entertainment circle is chaotic..."

Lin Bufan shook his head slightly.

"Feed..."

Gillian turned to look at Lin Bufan, giving him a hostile look.

"Of course, that definitely doesn't include my darling little darling..." Lin Bufan changed the subject and laughed.

"Hmph, so you're talking about us then!"

Tsai Chu-yen, who was standing to the side, was not about to let him off so easily.

"Look over there, isn't that Cecilia Cheung and cameraman Chen?"

Lin Bufan suddenly pointed to the dance floor not far away, where the two of them were dancing together, almost touching.

"Um?"

Lin Bufan's words immediately made everyone turn their heads to look in curiosity.

Everyone in Hong Kong knows that Nicholas Tse married Cecilia Cheung last year. Of course, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Cecilia Cheung just gave birth to a son for Nicholas Tse last month. If you think about it, she just finished her postpartum confinement period.

Lin Bufan was aware of this as well, but what he remembered was that Zhang Baizhi gave birth to her first child in August, though he forgot the exact date.

Obviously, this timeline is earlier in this life, but that's normal. Many things in this world are not static. Even if many things were to happen again, they would not be exactly the same. Some discrepancies are to be expected.

As long as things remain roughly the same, there shouldn't be any problem.

"It really is! Look, Old Chen's hand is already inside..." Cai Zhuoyan exclaimed in surprise, her mouth slightly agape.

"Main, should we tell Ah Feng?"

Rong Zuer looked at Huo Wenxi.

"never mind!"

Huo Wenxi shook her head. Although she valued Xie Tingfeng highly and he respected her, she couldn't say much now that his wife and his good brother were involved.

Often, it's really not appropriate for outsiders to interfere too much in a couple's affairs. If the other party reconciles, she ends up being caught in the middle.

"That old Zhang, he's really having a blast..."

Lin Bufan has excellent eyesight; even in such dim lighting and at such a distance, he could see every detail clearly.

"Old Zhang?"

Gillian looked at Lin Bufan with a puzzled expression.

"It's Cecilia Cheung!"

"Oh, your name is CC Lao Zhang?"

Cai Zhuoyan turned around and looked at Lin Bufan in surprise.

Perhaps because of that night, Cai Zhuoyan was quite uninhibited in front of Lin Bufan, unlike Rong Zuer and Huo Wenxi, who kept calling him "Mr. Lin".

CC is Cecilia Cheung's nickname, derived from the initials of her English name.

"Is there anything wrong with that?"

Lin Bufan raised an eyebrow at Cai Zhuoyan.

However, what he didn't know was that Choi Chung-yin was a notorious gossip. Of course, this was only among acquaintances. Her nickname for Cheung Pak-chi, "Old Cheung," would spread throughout the entire Hong Kong entertainment circle in less than three days.

"Everyone says a brother's wife is unreliable, but cameraman Chen is a brother's wife, so I won't hold back..."

The cameraman, Chen, was quite unceremonious, even taking photos afterwards. The women were also quite cooperative, which explains why Hong Kong actresses are known for being so open-minded.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Gillian felt itchy all over from Lin Bufan's gaze, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Gillian, you really should thank me!"

Lin Bufan looked at Ajiao and sighed.

"What am I thanking you for?"

Gillian looked at him with a puzzled expression.

You'll find out later!

Lin Bufan shook his head. If it weren't for his appearance, she would have been caught by cameraman Chen, and when that "explosive" news came out next year, 08, she would be completely finished.

"So mysterious..."

Gillian shook her head speechlessly and didn't press the matter further.

When Gillian went to the bathroom, Lin Bufan waved to Cai Zhuoyan and patted the sofa next to him.

"What are you doing?"

Cai Zhuoyan walked over and sat down next to Lin Bufan.

"Want to play a friendly match?"

Lin Bufan raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

"Hey, that was an accident." Cai Zhuoyan glared at Lin Bufan, saying that it was an accident and no one would mention it.

"We're friends, what's wrong with playing a friendly match?"

Lin Bufan said indifferently that he and Prince Ji were not good friends anyway, nor were they brothers' wives, so he didn't feel any burden.

Besides, Prince Ji is just as good at it as I am; the only difference is that I am more high-end, while Prince Ji is still involved in the modeling industry.

Despite having the nickname "Crown Prince," Prince Ji's family background is actually just so-so. It's certainly better than that of ordinary celebrities, but it's far inferior to a big shot like Lin Bufan.

He can't offer other celebrities good resources, and he's not handsome, so of course he can't play the high-end games. He can only play with young models, the kind of games that only require money or a little bit of resources.
