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

Lin Bufan did not interfere with the filming. Standing behind the monitor, watching Deng Jiajia's performance on the screen, he couldn't help but nod.

As expected of the person who invented the "Tang's Acting Rules," although his acting skills are still a bit immature, they are already quite good among newcomers.

Furthermore, Lin Bufan had already learned that Deng Jiajia had officially signed with Jingyi a few months ago.

"I now announce that filming for 'The Ming Dynasty: Emperor Yongle' has wrapped..."

As soon as Zhang Ting finished speaking, the entire crew cheered.

That evening, at the wrap party, Lin Bufan ate a quick meal and left. He didn't want to steal the spotlight from director Zhang Ting, and besides, with him there, no one else could really shine.

However, although Lin Bufan left, he took with him the female lead of the TV series, Jiang Qinqin, and Zhu Yawen.

"Uncle Li went back to Northeast China two months ago, so we're going to try a different place this time."

Zhu Yawen was in charge of driving.

"Uncle Li went back to Northeast China? Didn't they say there was no one left there?"

Lin Bufan sat in the back with Jiang Qinqin, holding her little hand and playing with it, when he heard Zhu Yawen's words and was somewhat surprised.

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that Uncle Li had a white moonlight in his younger days, and the child is his..."

Zhu Yawen only learned about this from others at the last class reunion. It is said that Uncle Li had a white moonlight in Northeast China in his early years, but the two separated due to some issues. However, Uncle Li's white moonlight was already pregnant at the time, which he did not know.

Now that he knew, he went back to find his white moonlight.

Uncle Li's barbecue restaurant was a regular haunt for them during their university years. Whenever they wanted barbecue, they would always go to his place, so naturally they became quite familiar with each other.

"That's good!"

Lin Bufan was genuinely happy for Uncle Li.

"arrive!"

While they were chatting, Zhu Yawen drove up to a barbecue restaurant and parked the car.

"Yutong found this shop..."

As Zhu Yawen led Lin Bufan and Jiang Qinqin into the store, he began to explain.

According to his explanation, this was a barbecue restaurant that Pan Yutong and other female students frequented when she was in school, and the food was quite good.

"The hygiene is quite good!"

Lin Bufan led Jiang Qinqin into the barbecue restaurant. First of all, the hygiene was better than Uncle Li's barbecue restaurant. He just didn't know how the taste would be.

"We've been waiting for you!"

As soon as the door to the private room opened, Pan Yutong, Huang Bo, and Xiao Ou turned around and saw them come in. They stood up with smiles to welcome them.

"You guys arrived pretty early!"

Lin Bufan smiled and declined Pan Yutong's invitation to sit down, instead taking Jiang Qinqin to sit to the side.

We're all friends, so there aren't many rules or formalities.

"Someone's treating me to dinner, of course I have to come early!"

Huang Bo responded with a smile.

"Sister Ou, it's been a long time!"

Lin Bufan turned to look at Xiao Ou, and after speaking, he looked at Jiang Qinqin, who hurriedly took out a gift box from her bag and handed it to him.

"Hey, Sister Ou, this is my wedding gift for you and Lao Huang!"

As Lin Bufan spoke, he handed the gift box to Xiao Ou.

While he was in America, Huang Bo and Xiao Ou registered their marriage, but they didn't hold a ceremony.

"And mine too!"

Zhu Yawen, who was standing to the side, also took the gift box from Pan Yutong and handed it to Huang Bo.

"Hehe, thank you for spending so much!"

Huang Bo kept saying he was being too kind, but he didn't seem embarrassed at all when he accepted the money.

"Thanks, Bufan and Xiao Zhu!"

Xiao Ou looked at Lin Bufan and Zhu Yawen and said gratefully.

"Old Zhu, when are you and Xiao Pan planning to get married?"

Huang Bo looked at Zhu Yawen and Pan Yutong and joked with them.

"us……"

Zhu Yawen and Pan Yutong exchanged a glance, their faces beaming with happiness: "We'll get our marriage certificate at the end of the year and try to have an Olympic baby!"

"You two are amazing! You finally made it official!"

Lin Bufan looked at Zhu Yawen and offered his sincere congratulations.

In later generations, although Zhu Yawen did not marry her, it did not mean that he did not love Pan Yutong. Lin Bufan was a witness to the love between him and Pan Yutong.

Pan Yutong is a girl from Northeast China. She is poised, polite, and outgoing in her dealings with others.

"Brother Lin, you absolutely have to come to the wedding!"

Pan Yutong looked at Lin Bufan with a big smile.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be there!"

Lin Bufan nodded: "Set a time and let me know!"

While the group was chatting, the waiter brought over the grilled skewers.

"It tastes good!"

Lin Bufan picked up a skewer of lamb and took a bite. It was slightly inferior to Uncle Li's, but still acceptable.

After all, I've been eating barbecue at Uncle Li's place for several years, so there's a sense of nostalgia in it.

……

After dinner, since Lin Bufan had been drinking, Jiang Qinqin drove him to the Xinxin Jiayuan townhouses in the Asian Games Village.

This villa was bought by Jiang Qinqin last year. It has three floors above ground, one basement level, and a small garden. It is a 300-square-meter villa.

"Your villa is decorated very warmly!"

Lin Bufan walked into the villa and looked it over.

"What's the use of warmth when I'm all alone..."

As Jiang Qinqin spoke, her eyes remained fixed on Lin Bufan.

What's going on between you and Chen Jianbin?

Lin Bufan didn't respond to her words, but instead looked at Jiang Qinqin with curiosity.

"It's all because of you..."

Jiang Qinqin glared at Lin Bufan with annoyance.

Originally, she and Chen Jianbin were already prepared to snatch him away, but then rumors broke out about her and Lin Bufan. The rumors were one thing, but the key point was that Lin Bufan was seen leaving a hotel by the other party.

No man could tolerate this: his fiancée, whom he was about to marry, with another man in a hotel...

And so, the two of them parted ways completely.

"So, did either of you...?"

Lin Bufan sized Jiang Qinqin up and down, and she rolled her eyes at him: "Who do you take me for, Jiang Qinqin?!"

Back then, Jiang Qinqin made a three-point agreement with Chen Jianbin that they could only do those things after they got married, which made Chen Jianbin even more resentful.

A man can only touch his fiancée after marriage, but she can be with other men. No man would tolerate this unless he enjoys being cheated on.

"So what are your plans next?"

Seeing Jiang Qinqin walk over, Lin Bufan reached out and picked her up, placing her on his lap.

"You're not going to marry me anyway..."

Jiang Qinqin sighed and gave Lin Bufan a helpless glare.

Seeing Lin Bufan's indifference, Jiang Qinqin completely abandoned this unrealistic idea and looked at him earnestly: "I want a child!"

She had made up her mind. Since Lin Bufan didn't intend to marry her, so be it. She was getting old, already 32 years old this year, and didn't have many good options. Rather than choosing an unknown man, she would rather have a child as a guarantee for the rest of her life.

And the best person to have a child is none other than Lin Bufan.

"Then it depends on your performance!"

Just then, Lin Bufan, having drunk too much, lay down on the sofa, a playful glint in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Qinqin.

"snort!"

Jiang Qinqin sniffed, gave a soft snort, picked up the remote control from the table, and first drew the curtains in the living room...
