There was still a faint smell of smoke in Pei Jinchen's office; it wasn't pungent, just slightly bitter.

Xu Ran sighed inwardly, but didn't show it on her face. She simply waved her phone and smiled, "Did you see my message?"

Pei Jinchen took a deep breath. He had seen it, but he hadn't expected Xu Ran to actually come up like that.

The young starlet looked puzzled: "Don't you need to pack your things?"

Pei Jinchen felt that his attitude was too matter-of-fact and didn't know how to react for a moment.

"It's fine if you don't need to tidy up," the young starlet said to herself, "You can wear all my clothes."

He was only slightly taller than Pei Jinchen, and their builds were similar.

Perhaps it was the intense disbelief in Pei Jinchen's eyes that made the young starlet smile and add, "They're all new."

He has so many new clothes; he's a celebrity, after all!

Pei Jinchen fell silent; that wasn't what he wanted to ask.

Pei Jinchen's car was the understated and low-key type. It looked a bit dull on its own, but when the handsome and aloof man next to him stood in front of the car, he became inexplicably elegant and noble.

Seeing the weariness in his eyes, Xu Ran suggested, "Mr. Pei, shall I drive?"

Pei Jinchen recalled Xu Ran's information and found that she did indeed have a driver's license, but it seemed that she had never driven a car herself.

Meeting those eager black eyes, Pei Jinchen silently swallowed the words he was about to say and handed over the car keys.

He reluctantly got into the car, keeping a close eye on Xu Ran's movements. Only when he saw that Xu Ran was exceptionally skilled did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

President Pei took out his phone and tapped it.

【Ding--】

Xu Ran's phone suddenly rang. He was driving and couldn't check it, so he tapped the system.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

The little system covered its mouth and screamed, "Xiao Pei transferred another ten million to you!"

Xu Ran was slightly taken aback. Through the rearview mirror, Pei Jinchen beside her seemed to have just completed something very important, and his tense body slowly relaxed.

While the light was red, Xu Ran took out his phone and glanced at it. The number of zeros in the text message made his eyes dizzy.

He said, "Mr. Pei, have you transferred the money to me?"

  

Pei Jinchen nodded reservedly, displaying a rather domineering CEO-like demeanor: "Here you go."

This is the obligation that the sponsor should fulfill. Now that they have paid, they should be able to go home with Xu Ran.

Pei Jinchen, who was making a benefactor for the first time, secretly thought that he should also be able to make requests of his little lover. So he hesitated before asking, "Could you not call me President Pei?"

He liked it when Xu Ran called him by his name.

The young starlet's voice, tinged with laughter, said, "Jin Chen."

The newly appointed investor had a serious expression and tightly pursed lips, but his misty gray eyes lit up. Is this the treatment you get when you're paid?

Xu Ran chuckled inwardly, the transparent little dumpling hearing his thoughts.

"Wow."

"So cute."

"I want to keep teasing you."

Little Dumpling died on the spot. Xiao Pei, don't use such a thick filter!

The cast for Director Li's new drama "Crossing the Dust" has been basically finalized, and filming is about to begin. The actors for several important roles have also been revealed.

Xu Ran had already received the script. Although Chao Xi was a villain, he had a lot of screen time. His character ranged from a junior brother who practiced swordsmanship with the protagonists in the sect to a demon lord who sought his own death.

His previous assistant resigned, and Lin Zhiwen has been running around all by himself these days. Now that he's joining a production team, he can't handle it all by himself.

Lin Zhiwen was in a hurry to hire an assistant, but before he could even conduct an interview, the company had already sent someone over.

Lin Zhiwen: "..."

He forgot that his artist was now associated with President Pei, and his status was different from before.

The new assistant is a lively young woman who just graduated from university and is full of energy.

When the official account of "Crossing the Dust" released a post announcing several main characters, someone quietly asked in the comments section.

Does Director Li's drama need a one-dimensional, villainous character?

[Think about the dramas invested in by the Pei family.]

[Think about it yourself, Director Li would never accept people being forced into a relationship by investors, okay?]

Following Lin Zhiwen's advice, Xu Ran forwarded the official Weibo post with the caption "Looking forward to meeting everyone."

Then, with a touch of curiosity, he held his phone, waiting for comments from his fans.

[Ranran, why are you playing a villain again?]

Xu Ran put down her phone expressionlessly, turned around and walked towards Pei Jinchen, who was looking at the computer behind her.

The minor celebrity spoke in a calm tone, but Pei Jinchen saw a hint of grievance in her eyes.

"I'm joining the production team tomorrow."

"Hmm," Pei Jinchen hesitated before saying, "Good luck."

He assumed the young star was worried about not performing well, and reassured her, "Don't worry, you performed very well."

My sugar daddy is a clueless, straight man!

Xu Ran sullenly turned off the living room light and pulled her sugar daddy's hand towards the bedroom: "Go to sleep."

If Pei Zong were to get up so early every day and also stay up late, Xu Ran was worried that he would die from overwork.

Pei Jinchen quietly opened his eyes in the night and looked at the sleeping face of the person beside him. The room was dark, but a sliver of moonlight shone through the gap in the curtains and dappled Xu Ran's long black eyelashes.

The young star has striking features, with bold eyebrows and eyes, and always wears a smile, which makes people unconsciously let their guard down.

With her eyes closed, her sleeping face is serene, making her appear even more gentle.

The atmosphere inside was peaceful and relaxed. These past few days had been the best time in Pei Jinchen's dreams. He suddenly longed to spend his life with someone.

He wanted to disregard everything and keep the people around him by his side forever.

He quietly took out his phone and sent a message to his assistant.

The next day, Xu Ran woke up to find Pei Jinchen gone. His flight was that afternoon, so Pei Jinchen probably didn't want to wake him up and went to the company alone.

Even after boarding the plane, Xu Ran was still somewhat sullen.

The new assistant, Shushu, is a total looks-obsessed person and can't stand seeing handsome young men. She sighed, "Ranran, what's wrong? Are you nervous?"

Xu Ran lowered her eyes, her tone filled with grief and indignation: "We're going to have a long-distance relationship."

Shushu, who has been single for 24 years: "..."

excuse me.

Lin Zhiwen, who was standing to the side, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, acting as if he hadn't heard anything.

It was already evening when they arrived at the hotel. Xu Ran hurriedly sent a message to Pei Jinchen before Lin Zhiwen urged her to go to sleep. He was worried that something might go wrong with Xu Ran for the opening ceremony at eight o'clock the next morning.

Pei Jinchen received the message at the same time as the airport announcement. He looked at his boarding pass, got up and went to the boarding gate.

After finishing his work, he rushed to the airport. He had gotten up early today, and with this back-to-back schedule, he looked a little tired. He looked at the messages on his phone, as if he wanted to say something, but after lightly touching the screen and making some changes, he only received a very official message.

Okay, get some rest.

His sugar daddy is very aloof, but that's just an appearance.

Every night, the person in Xu Ran's arms is quiet and soft.

The ice in his heart melted quickly.

The plane took off, and Pei Jinchen closed his eyes.
