Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 796 - 798: Remember to Prepare Red Envelopes

Chapter 796: Chapter 798: Remember to Prepare Red Envelopes

Yu Yanyu pulled Ren Xiao, both fully armed, to the secret gathering. Before entering the private room, they had to respond to the password. If the password wasn’t correct, the door wouldn’t open. They had already agreed on this password in the WeChat group.

Qiu Zhenze and Qin Siqin had already arrived, and it was Qin Siqin who opened the door for them.

Not long after the two seated themselves, there came a few knocks on the door. Yu Yanyu shouted, "Password!"

Kevin looked completely clueless. Brother Sheng Yan hadn’t mentioned any password when he invited him.

He tentatively said, "Open sesame?"

Everyone in the private room: "..."

Yu Yanyu quietly asked, "Did this guy walk into the wrong set or is he specifically here to snap some photos of us?"

Ren Xiao said, "I’ve just listened to his accent. He doesn’t sound like he’s from Huaxia, it’s a bit awkward."

Qiu Zhenze frowned, "Emperor Sheng said in the group that he would bring a friend over. Could it be this guy?"

Qin Siqin said, "That’s not right either. The person should have been brought along with him. Why let someone come over early?"

Yu Yanyu asked again, "So, is this person a paparazzi?"

Ren Xiao shook his head, "That’s unlikely. I think a paparazzi wouldn’t use such an obvious method to alert us, not to mention this place is quite upscale. It would be hard for a paparazzi to get in."

Yu Yanyu’s eyes shifted, then he walked to the door and asked, "What is your relationship with Sheng Yan?"

Kevin paused, but did not conceal it from him: "I’m in a business partnership with Sheng Yan."

Without another thought, Yu Yanyu turned and walked back, "This person isn’t very familiar with Sheng Yan. He probably heard something and specifically came to intercept someone."

Full of curiosity, Ren Xiao asked, "How do you know that?"

Yu Yanyu picked up some peanuts from the table and chewed them, his demeanor that of a lord, "He didn’t say he was friends with Brother Yan, did he? Brother Yan finally let us gather, saying he wanted to introduce a friend for us to meet. It can’t possibly be to introduce a business partner, right?

Could it be that Brother Yan wants us to be brand ambassadors? Hey, that’s impossible. He generally doesn’t talk about business at private meetings."

In fact, even if it were not a private meeting, it would be hard to pry anything other than work from him.

Qiu Zhenze’s eyebrows knit together slightly, what was said made some sense, but he felt like something was off.

Outside the door, Kevin had waited quite a while without hearing the door open. After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and made a call to Sheng Yan.

The ringtone was particularly clear. Looking up, he saw that Sheng Yan had also arrived and was walking down the corridor towards them. He wore sunglasses and a mask, his arm linked with that of a petite woman, who was also wearing sunglasses and a mask.

Kevin’s eyes widened as he hurriedly approached, curiously staring at He Jinxia.

The clothing He Jinxia wore was designed by him, a Hanfu simplified for everyday wear. It was a combination of traditional Hanfu and modern craftsmanship, exuding a unique charm.

"Sheng, this is your—"

Sheng Yan hadn’t expected to run into him in the corridor. He had intended to keep it a secret from everyone and split up after entering, but now that they had bumped into each other, he answered calmly, "My fiancée."

He Jinxia couldn’t help but pinch his arm shyly.

Without looking at her, Sheng Yan’s grip on her hand tightened slightly as he said, "Kevin, remember to keep this a secret for me."

Kevin made faces at Sheng Yan, quickly nodding and agreeing.

He was curious about He Jinxia and wanted to ask who she was, but Sheng Yan seemed uninterested in explaining too much to Kevin, ignoring his gaze and taking Jinxia’s hand towards the private room.

He knocked on the door and, as always, there came a voice from inside, "Password!"

Sheng Yan answered calmly, "Open the door."

Yu Yanyu recognized Sheng Yan’s voice and hurriedly opened the door, by which time He Jinxia and Sheng Yan had already separated.

Yu Yanyu’s eyes shimmered as he asked with great interest, "Big brother, Sister Jinxia, how come you two..."

He Jinxia beat him to the punch, answering with a beaming smile, "We just happened to bump into each other on the way here, so we came together."

She walked in, "Have you guys ordered already?"

Qin Siqin cheerfully replied, "No, we were waiting for you to come so we could order together!"

He Jinxia naturally took a seat beside Qin Siqin and started chatting with her.

Seeing this, Sheng Yan also walked in and, quite unceremoniously, sat down beside He Jinxia, taking the spot where Yu Yanyu was supposed to sit.

Yu Yanyu’s lips parted slightly, as he was about to say something, but just then, Kevin walked in and greeted him with great hospitality and enthusiasm.

Yu Yanyu agreed and echoed back a few words, energizing Kevin even more. Feeling like he had found a kindred spirit, Kevin became more animated and kept talking to Yu Yanyu non-stop. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

That entire evening at the hot pot, Yu Yanyu found his attention was completely entangled by Kevin.

It wasn’t until everyone had their fill of food and drink that they had the leisure to chat.

Yu Yanyu deliberately started the conversation, speaking in a teasing tone, "Sister Jinxia, Brother Sheng Yan, your coincidences are a bit too much. Netizens almost paired you up as a couple online, and here you are, always bumping into each other in real life. Maybe it’s a match made by destiny, huh?"

He Jinxia merely smiled without saying a word.

Sheng Yan did the same, smiling silently.

Yu Yanyu clicked his tongue and said, "Even not answering my question, you two are in sync. Are you sure you don’t want to consider turning this fake CP into a real one and actually getting together?"

Qiu Zhenze frowned and was about to say something when he felt Ren Xiao pulling on his arm.

Ren Xiao shook his head at him. He felt that Yu Yanyu wasn’t simply teasing for the sake of it but rather seemed to know something and was probing them to confirm his guess.

Seeing the mood turning slightly awkward, Qin Siqin’s eyes darted around as she thought of saying something. But just then, He Jinxia started speaking with a grin, "If I’m getting married next year, are you going to give me a big red envelope?"

Yu Yanyu promptly responded, "You’re my sister. Of course, I’ll give a big red envelope for my own sister’s wedding."

He Jinxia, "What about your brother?"

Yu Yanyu hesitated, a bit unsure as he replied, "If my brother gets married, I will definitely give a big red envelope as well."

He Jinxia’s lips curved slightly, and with a clap of her hands, she said crisply, "Great, then prepare two big red envelopes for next year."

Yu Yanyu, "Giving red envelopes is no problem, but I don’t know of any relatives around me getting married next year... Wait, wait, you can’t possibly be saying..."

Yu Yanyu’s eyes bulged, staring intently at the two, one his big brother and the other his sister. Could these two people really be a match?!

He Jinxia’s eyes twinkled, revealing her full and round love-brimming eyes, and she spoke with a smile, "Yes, you guessed it right, your brother and I plan to get married next year."

This announcement was like a bomb drop, stunning everyone in the private room into a daze.

The others were all bewildered, except for Kevin who, already aware of their relationship, enthusiastically exclaimed, "Great, I’ll take care of designing the outfits for your wedding next year at no design fee!"

Sheng Yan gave him a look and said indifferently, "Okay, remember to give a big red envelope."

Kevin’s face immediately fell, "How can you still be so stingy when you’re my business partner? How about this? I’ll also take care of the wedding dress production, and I guarantee that your wife will be the most beautiful bride."

Sheng Yan laughed softly, "Too late."

Kevin, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Sheng Yan, "I mean no."

Kevin, "..."
