Gu Yuan only listened to half of Sheng Yi’s words and didn’t take the second half seriously.

Because she wouldn’t participate in any entertainment variety shows.

Sheng Yi, of course, knew this as well. If Yuanyuan could agree to join a variety show, she wouldn’t know how many shows they would’ve recorded together by now. She just vented her anger at that scumbag earlier: "Yuanyuan, you know the age-old advice ’the player becomes preoccupied while the bystander sees clearly.’ As a bystander, I definitely need to remind you of relationship issues without you blaming me for talking too much; I just want you to be happy."

"I know everything you’re saying." Gu Yuan reached out her hand and placed it on Sheng Yi’s hand: "Rest assured, I have my own plans, and..."

Her tone was very firm: "And I don’t regret any of my decisions."

Sheng Yi heard it. Yuanyuan was determined to stick it out with that scumbag to the end. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

But since it was Yuanyuan’s decision, Sheng Yi felt it wasn’t right to suggest finding a new boyfriend, so she just said, "As long as you don’t regret it, that’s fine."

Then she grabbed Gu Yuan’s hand, leaned closer, and grinned mischievously: "Yuanyuan, have you seriously considered joining a variety show with me? I’d love to do a show with you."

Gu Yuan: "Don’t even think about it."

"Yuanyuan~"

"Let’s talk about it later."

"How much later? By the time ’later’ comes, we’ll be two old grannies in our seventies or eighties."

"Seems kind of nice, maybe we should wait until then?"

"Hmph!" Sheng Yi turned her face away in a playful pout: "By then, I’d be retired. What show could we still go on? We’d end up in a retirement home."

Sheng Yi could already imagine the days she and Yuanyuan would spend in a retirement home together.

"Is Dao An still busy in the kitchen?" When they went out, she had left everything in the kitchen to Dao An. She really played the role of the hands-off boss well.

"Yes, he’s in there. Dao An’s culinary skills are amazing. He’s the perfect domestic type who can handle both the living room and the kitchen!" Sheng Yi didn’t hold back any praise when it came to Dao An.

Praising him like a little fan girl.

Gu Yuan said, "It’s because there’s an auntie in Dao An’s family who’s a fantastic cook. Her dishes are really delicious."

"I know that. Last time when I was hospitalized with a foot injury, Dao An brought me food made by his family’s auntie. It was so delicious I wanted to poach her with a high salary."

This wasn’t an exaggeration at all.

But Gu Yuan said, "Dao An’s culinary skills are great too. Why not think about poaching Dao An instead?"

"What a joke, Yuanyuan. Now, even if I worked hard to shoot three months’ worth of a movie, it could be equivalent to what Dao An earns in a day. If I were to hire him as my chef, I’d have to be the wealthiest person in the world."

When she said this, Sheng Yi’s expression was incredibly animated.

Dao An was right there, and Gu Yuan couldn’t say, "Right in front of you, ready and willing," so she just said, "Be more confident, and imagine the impossible as possible."

After saying that, Gu Yuan gave Sheng Yi a meaningful look, then went into the kitchen to help.

Sheng Yi stood there, stunned.

She kept pondering over what Gu Yuan had just said.

Imagine the impossible as possible.

Was Yuanyuan encouraging her to go after Dao An?

Ah!

Sheng Yi thought sensibly to herself that Dao An probably wouldn’t like a girl from her line of work.

Because not only was her circle chaotic, but she was also incredibly busy. Besides, Dao An wasn’t the same as before; he’s now a successful entrepreneur. Why would he be interested in her?

So when it came to this point, Sheng Yi was aware of her limits.

...

Half of the credit for this lunch had to go to Dao An.

A table full of delicious dishes.

But more than half were all Sheng Yi’s favorites.

Specially prepared for Sheng Yi by Gu Yuan.

And thoughtfully prepared by Dao An for Sheng Yi.

The happiness made Sheng Yi feel like she was bubbling with joy.

Gu Yuan opened a bottle of red wine and poured a glass of milk for Suisui.

Each had half a glass, toasted, drank, and emptied the glasses.

During this time, Dao An and Gu Yuan discussed some company matters, and Sheng Yi listened while eating. Some things she understood only partially, but she got some of it, and the more she listened, the more uneasy she felt. Suddenly, she interjected, "Why do I get the feeling from your conversation that Dao An seems to be leaving?"

After Sheng Yi’s words fell.

Gu Yuan glanced at Dao An.

This was something that had to be mentioned; there was no hiding it from Sheng Yi. Gu Yuan had been waiting for Dao An to bring it up, but after chatting for a while and not seeing him say anything, Gu Yuan was anxious for him.
