Dream Lover

Chu Li said with a beaming smile, "I hear everyone calling him that. I have to say, Lord Lu is truly a rare dream lover. Not only is his appearance superior, but his family background is also outstanding. He took over the Lu Group at such a young age; in Shengjing, he is practically a living myth."

"Dream lover?" Ye Yihe nearly jumped. "You like Lu Dog that much?"

Hearing this, Chu Li hurriedly denied it, "How could I! Don't talk nonsense! My feelings for Lord Lu are purely pure admiration and respect! I wouldn't dare have any improper thoughts about him!"

Was she joking? How could she like Lord Lu! Although Lord Lu was very charming, she already had a secret crush in her heart. Besides, if she wasn't mistaken, Lord Lu already had someone in his heart...

"You scared me to death." Ye Yihe patted her chest. "I thought you were losing your mind! Let me tell you, Lu Dog is very 'dog'..."

She rambled on for a long time until Chu Li hurriedly called for a stop. "Alright, alright. In all of Shengjing, I'm afraid only you would dare speak of Lord Lu like that."

Ye Yihe gave a proud huff. "I'm just telling the truth! I don't know who will be the unlucky one he sets his sights on in the future. Truly pitiful." At this moment, she had no idea that she was that "unlucky" one...

"The dating show you're participating in this time seems to have a male guest who isn't bad. He's quite handsome too. You're not young anymore; do you want to consider dating?" Chu Li teased her.

Ye Yihe immediately thought of Gu Bei and asked, "Are you talking about Gu Bei?"

"Yes, him!" Chu Li nodded. "I heard he's been very popular lately. He even won a championship in a competition. His future is limitless."

"Gu Bei is indeed very good and very hardworking," Ye Yihe agreed. "However, it's absolutely impossible for us to be together. Don't overthink it."

"Why?" Chu Li asked curiously.

Ye Yihe looked up at her. "Because we are just ordinary friends, and I have no intention of dating. Isn't work great? Why date? What's the use of dating?"

Chu Li: "... That sounds quite logical."

"So we must all work hard and realize our dreams early." Ye Yihe said to her seriously, "You must remember, men only affect the speed at which we draw our swords!"

"Mm-hmm!" Chu Li took it to heart.

Ye Yihe revealed a happy smile. "A child worth teaching!"

The waiter brought the coffee and said to them with great fighting spirit, "Please enjoy your drinks!"

Chu Li was startled by her, seriously doubting that she had heard what Ye Yihe just said... It turned out Chu Li was right. As soon as the waitress returned to the break area, she immediately picked up her phone and broke up with the cheating scumbag she had been with for two years, then signed herself up for a study course... Of course, they naturally didn't know this.

"I have to join the film crew in two days. If you run into any trouble, remember to go to my brother. He will help you solve it," Ye Yihe told her.

At the mention of Ye Huannian, Chu Li's expression became a bit unnatural. "Okay, I got it."

"I picked out a few magazines for you. Remember to look at them when you get back; they should be helpful to you." Ye Yihe said as she pushed the magazines toward her. After all, fashion design is always changing. To design excellent works, one must look at the works of outstanding designers and grasp the trends. Therefore, frequently reading fashion magazines was essential.

Chu Li took them and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "The latest issue of 《YO Style》, and even 《International Fashion》! I officially declare, Hehe, you are my goddess!"

"Work hard. My outfit for the next event is in your hands," Ye Yihe said with a smile.

Chu Li clenched her fist with passion. "I will definitely work hard!"

"I believe you can do it," Ye Yihe said sincerely.

Chu Li was a bit moved and reached out to hug her. "Hehe, thank you."

"Why be so polite with me?" Ye Yihe feigned anger. "Did you forget? We are best friends for life."

Chu Li nodded vigorously. "Right, we'll be best friends for life!"

The two chatted for a while longer before reluctantly parting ways. Ye Yihe originally intended to drive Chu Li back, but Chu Li caught a glimpse of Lu Anxing waiting not far away. Understanding the situation, she immediately refused.

"No need, I can go back myself. You know my apartment is very close to here."

"But..."

She wanted to say more, but Chu Li tilted her chin to signal her to look over there. "Someone is waiting for you. Go on."

Ye Yihe followed her gaze and finally saw Lu Anxing leaning against his car... "Why is he here?" She found it strange.

Chu Li rubbed her nose and muttered in a low voice, "Why do I suddenly feel a bit sorry for Lord Lu..." To like someone with such high intelligence but an emotional quotient basically zero like a block of wood—the road to chasing his wife would likely be full of hardships... Tragic! Truly tragic!

"What did you just say?" Ye Yihe turned to look at her.

Chu Li waved her hands repeatedly. "Nothing, nothing. Go quickly, don't keep Lord Lu waiting."

"Alright then. Remember to let me know when you get home safely."

"OK."

After saying goodbye to Chu Li, Ye Yihe walked over to Lu Anxing. "Why are you here?"

"To pick you up, of course." Lu Anxing helped her open the car door. "My eldest miss, please get in."

Ye Yihe looked at him suspiciously, feeling that he had been acting strange these past two days, but she couldn't put her finger on exactly what was strange. In short, it was very weird!

Inside the car.

"Lu Dog, are you plotting something?" she couldn't help but ask.

Lu Anxing raised an eyebrow. "Plotting? Plotting what?"

Ye Yihe pursed her lips and turned her head away. "How should I know? Showing undue kindness... you must be up to no good."

Lu Anxing nodded in agreement. "I think you have a point." He indeed had designs... designs on her person.

Ye Yihe: "?" You really are too smart for your own good.

"Tell me, what do you need help with?" Ye Yihe pursed her lips. "For the sake of our many years of acquaintance, I'll give you a twenty percent discount!"

"A twenty percent discount, huh~" Lu Anxing intentionally dragged out his voice, the corners of his mouth turning up. "Anything goes?"

"Of course not!" Ye Yihe naturally wouldn't fall for it. She huffed twice. "Tell me what it is first, then I'll consider whether to help."

Lu Anxing looked disappointed upon hearing this. "Is that so... Then I'll tell you once I've thought it through."] ||CHAPTER_SEPARATOR
