Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 91 Qin Lan returns to Beijing, ready to eat meat

Yan Li and Li Bingbing were involved in a scandal, but with Huayi's clarification, public opinion was quickly brought under control.

But she is a popular young actress after all, and many people really try to dig up information about this "mysterious man" Yan Li.

Coincidentally, when the filming of "The Emperor of Han Wu" started, Yan Li showed up briefly, and his first identity was soon revealed.

New actor, the actor who played Huo Qubing in "Emperor Wu of Han".

If it was just an unknown person, it would be easy to be exposed, but coupled with the big production of "The Emperor Wu of Han", the reputation of Huo Qubing, and the rumored boyfriend of Li Bingbing, these factors quickly attracted a certain amount of attention.

Hu Meidu, the director of "The Emperor Wu of Han", called Yan Li to inquire.

Some media outlets somehow got Yan Li's contact information and wanted to interview him.

Yan Li really couldn't hold it in this time!

He finally understood why those actors loved to create scandals. It made them famous really quickly.

"Conquer" is about to be released on TV, but few people know his name.

After filming of "The Emperor Wu of Han" started, he found a group of reporters to help promote him, but still not many people noticed him.

As a result, after having a meal with Li Bingbing, a few photos were taken of her, which caused a scandal. She easily appeared on the entertainment section of Sina's homepage, her name and photo were printed in the newspaper, and there were related gossip posts on forums such as Tianya.

Even college classmates who I hadn't contacted for half a year called me out of curiosity to inquire about the situation.

----

"People's hearts have changed. It's so easy to take shortcuts. Who would still act seriously?"

Yan Li shook his head and sighed, while Qin Lan opposite him rolled his eyes in disdain.

"Why are you pretending? You must be so happy inside."

Yan Li took a bite of the dish with his chopsticks and said in confusion, "There's not much vinegar in this dish, so why does it sound so sour?"

"You're the sour one."

Qin Lan was furious and every word she said was full of thorns. Yan Li shook his head and picked up some food for her.

"The media is just spreading nonsense to attract attention. How could someone as famous as me be interested in me?"

"That's hard to say."

Although Qin Lan's words were an instinctive rebuttal, he also didn't want to hear Yan Li belittle him.

What's wrong with being a popular star? It doesn't mean she has more arms or fewer legs. Huang Xiaoming, who pursued her before, is also very popular now, but she still thinks Yan Li is better.

When it comes to feelings, sometimes you have to weigh the pros and cons and all kinds of practical issues, and sometimes, as long as you are moved, everything else is nothing.

"Okay, stop imagining it, she's already got someone."

Seeing this, Yan Li revealed a piece of information, which immediately attracted Qin Lan's attention.

"Li Bingbing has a girlfriend. Who is it? Ren Quan?"

Li Bingbing and Ren Quan are college classmates. They started performing together to make money while still in school. They have worked together for many years, filmed many movies together, and signed with the same agent. They have a very good personal relationship and are not shy about interacting with each other in public or private.

Therefore, the outside world has been speculating that the two are a couple, but both parties have denied it.

"not him."

When Yan Li heard Ren Quan, a strange look flashed across his face. He also knew through the system that these young actors in the entertainment industry are all...talented.

"Who is that?"

Qin Lan asked curiously, and Yan Li hesitated for a moment and said, "It's her privacy, so I can't say much. After all, she's been an outsider for several years."

"Outsider? What do you do?"

Qin Lan kept asking, but Yan Li refused to say anything.

Just talk about other people's affairs. Li Bingbing is his friend after all, and they have a good relationship. He can't reveal other people's privacy behind their backs.

Today it was Qin Lan, whom he trusted more and was willing to appease, otherwise he wouldn't even have said what he had said before.

As for Li Bingbing's matter, he was not fooling Qin Lan. There was indeed a man behind him, who was the boss of a real estate company in Beijing. Li Bingbing's career over the years was inseparable from this man's help.

However, as Li Bingbing became more famous and got on board with the powerful Huayi, the relationship between the two seemed to have changed.

Qin Lan was very dissatisfied with Yan Li's behavior of keeping her in suspense, but when she was sure that Li Bingbing was not single, her mood eased a lot. She still had to make a sarcastic remark every three or five days.

Obviously, Li Bingbing was just a trigger for Qin Lan's dissatisfaction with Yan Li, and the real root of the problem was not here.

Yan Li also understood why Qin Lan was angry.

He reached out to grab Qin Lan's hand. The latter struggled for a while, but couldn't break free, so he held her. Yan Li stroked Qin Lan's small hand and coaxed her in a gentle voice.

"I was going to come see you, but I was too busy."

It would have been fine if this hadn't been mentioned, but as soon as Qin Lan mentioned it, she got furious, and her emotions, which had just calmed down, rose again.

"I understand you're busy and don't have time to visit me on set, but you don't have to call me every few days."

"And last time before the Lunar New Year, I went back to Beijing to look for you. You said you were in Hunan Province and said, 'Okay, I'll wait for you.' But you ended up going to Xi'an and then Shenzhen, leaving me stranded for most of the week. I almost didn't get a train ticket home for the Lunar New Year."

"Okay, you were on a business trip and it wasn't intentional. I put up with it. Last month, you said you were on a business trip in Jinling, so I took a leave from the crew to look for you, but you slipped away again."

Yan Li couldn't help but interrupt, "This is really not my fault. You should have told me. I didn't know you were going to Jinling to give me a surprise. Otherwise, I would definitely be waiting for you."

Qin Lan slammed the table, her face flushed with anger: "Then I told you when I returned to the capital this time, but you said it yourself, and you waited a few days to come to see me."

"Three days, but I have my reasons."

Yan Li started to defend himself: "On the first day, I went to Tianjin for business. When I returned to Beijing the next day, I found that paparazzi were blocking me."

"My Fair Princess 3 is about to air. If I'm filmed looking for you, it might affect you."

Qin Lan was dissatisfied: "I'm not afraid of this."

"I'm afraid."

Seeing Qin Lan's attitude soften, Yan Li moved and sat next to Qin Lan, holding her hand with a sincere look in his eyes.

"Now is a critical period in your career. You've waited so long and finally got a chance to become famous. It's okay if I can't help you, but I can't hold you back."

Qin Lan looked at Yan Li, who was sincere and affectionate, her beautiful eyes flashed and her voice unconsciously lowered.

"Are there really paparazzi?"

"real."

Yan Li's tone was firm. He really didn't lie. There really were paparazzi blocking him.

It’s just that the paparazzi only appeared near his company and was quickly shaken off.

The reason why Qin Lan showed up three days after returning to Beijing, in addition to going to Tianjin for work, was mainly because Dong Xuan was a little upset because of the scandal between him and Li Bingbing. She has been sticking to him very much these two days. If it weren't for her mid-term exam at the Beijing Film Academy today, he would not be able to get away.

"In that case, I will forgive you for now."

Qin Lan is very easy to talk to, even more than just an ordinary person.

Otherwise, he wouldn't still be paying attention to Yan Li, even inviting Yan Li to his house for dinner, and not resisting when his hand was held. If it were someone else, he would have thrown the plate at Yan Li's face long ago.

To be honest, if Yan Li hadn't taken his pulse through the system, he wouldn't have dared to wait until the third day to come.

This girl is indeed a little too...accommodating to him.

As long as Yan Li was willing to coax her and gave her a suitable reason, Qin Lan would go down the stairs.

To the extent that, sometimes when Yan Li faced Qin Lan, he felt that he was nothing, had a guilty conscience, and unconsciously wanted to pamper her a little more.

But perhaps because she was too angry, or because she thought too much, Qin Lan still put forward her own request.

"I've been in the capital these days. If you spend more time with me, it will be as an apology and compensation."

"Okay." Yan Li agreed readily, and then added: "How about I stay tonight? It's been so long since we last met, so I'd like to spend more time talking to you."

Qin Lan was a little conflicted, frowning and thinking for a while, but still shook her head firmly: "No, don't try to push it any further."

Yan Li played the victim: "It's been so long since we last met, I miss you every day, are you willing to let me go alone?"

"You miss me every day, why don't you call me?"

Qin Lan seized on Yan Li's weakness and questioned him intently. Yan Li lied and said, "Long-distance calls are too expensive. We need to save some money."

"I pay for all your phone bills, what are you saving?"

"Yeah, I'm just saving you money. It's not easy to make some money by filming."

As Yan Li spoke, he touched the soup bowl on the table and made an excuse to leave: "The soup is cold, I'll go heat it up."

Qin Lan snorted coldly, glanced at the phone Yan Li placed on the table, and quietly reached over with her little hand.

Afterwards, Qin Lan observed the movements in the kitchen while opening Yan Li's cell phone call logs and text messages and quickly browsing through them.

The person who made the most calls in the call log was a man named Lin Jiachuan, whom Qin Lan knew as Yan Li's good brother and assistant. Then there were a variety of names, both male and female, but there was no obvious majority.

In the text message inbox, apart from a few greetings and contact messages, the rest are all text messages communicating with her.

It is worth mentioning that, except for some early text messages between her and Yan Li, almost all of the later ones were saved by Yan Li and not deleted.

Qin Lan felt sweet in her heart, but she was also a little unsure. This guy was too lazy to call her, so he might be too lazy to delete the text message.

There was some movement in the kitchen, and Qin Lan quickly put the phone back where it belonged.

Yan Li came out with a soup bowl and glanced at his phone: "Did you look at my phone?"

"Ah, no."

Qin Lan quickly waved her hand to deny: "There was water on the table just now. I helped you move it. I didn't see it."

"Just watch."

Yan Li held up a bowl of soup for her and said with a smile, "I don't have anything shameful to do. You can rest assured if you check it out."

Qin Lan felt a little guilty about Yan Li's frankness and handed him her cell phone.

"Why don't you check mine too."

Yan Li didn't answer: "I don't need it, I trust you."

Qin Lan: "..."

Looking at Qin Lan who was doubting her life, Yan Li appeared calm on the surface but laughed secretly in his heart.

What's the point of checking the cell phone? He has an intelligence system that is much more powerful than checking the cell phone.

Besides, it’s not impossible to fool people by checking their cell phones. For example, Yan Li has three cell phones, and he almost never leaves them.

If he is not around and the phone happens to fall down, it is most likely a trick.

Qin Lan was unaware of the wickedness of human nature and was in deep guilt. Yan Li felt it was not cruel enough and flipped through his phone.

"There's nothing much to look at here. They're all our text messages. Oh, I accidentally deleted some of the first ones. Do you still have them? Please use your computer to transfer them to me later. I've saved them all on a USB drive. When I look at them again in a few years, they'll all be memories."

Qin Lan put away her phone guiltily, lowered her head, and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

"I...my phone has little memory, so I deleted all the previous text messages."

Yan Li paused, his expression visibly disappointed: "Oh, it's okay, I saved them all."

Qin Lan: "..."

My stupid hands were just touching my phone for no reason!
...

After dinner, Qin Lan curled up on the sofa and told Yan Li about her experiences during this period.

Yan Li knew most of it, not to mention the system, the two of them had also talked about it on the phone and via text messages.

But phone calls and text messages are obviously different from face-to-face communication. The atmosphere and feeling are different.

Qin Lan really likes this kind of scene. The two of them snuggle together, she tells Yan Li stories and shares her own things, Yan Li listens carefully, responds a few times, and feeds her some fruit or something, it is warm and sweet.

Of course, it would be better if someone's thieving hands were more honest and did not touch or pinch things randomly.

Yan Li felt very aggrieved. With such a fragrant and soft beauty in his arms, he was very restrained in not going wild and pushing Qin Lan down to have sex with her.

Now, just for taking advantage of a little bit of the situation, Yan Li even felt that his nickname could be "Little Liu Xiahui".

However, the longer the time went, the more Xia Hui began to move upwards. Yan Li buried his head in Qin Lan's neck, smelling her body fragrance mixed with shower gel, and slowly moved his hand downwards.

"I don't want to leave tonight."

"No."

Qin Lan tried her best to block Yan Li's evil hand. She felt the hot breath from Yan Li on her neck. Her cheeks flushed and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She bit her lips slightly and spoke in a firm tone.

"Too... too fast."

"Not so fast, we've known each other for almost a year."

Yan Li counted on his fingers. They had met in Hengdian last summer, and it was already April. If they hadn't met so few times, he would have succeeded long ago.

He really liked the feeling of pulling back and forth with Qin Lan, but he couldn't keep pulling forever.

Especially after this long separation, Yan Li was actually a little worried about Qin Lan, and his patience had worn out a lot. He felt that it was almost time to eat meat.

"I...I'm not ready yet. Wait a moment."

It’s not that Qin Lan is unprepared, but she plans to stretch it out one last time and take this time to deepen her feelings.

She was not really naive. She understood that Yan Li's obsession and love for her were reserved. Qin Lan was afraid that if Yan Li got what he wanted, his attitude towards her would change.

Seeing that a strong attack wouldn't work, Yan Li offered a roundabout suggestion: "We've finally met again, and I don't want to be separated from you. How about we go to my place and sleep in a separate room?"

The house Qin Lan rented had one bedroom and one living room. If they didn't sleep together, it would be more convenient than the two-bedroom, one-living room house in Guanghuali that Yan Li rented.

"You treat me like a three-year-old. You can remove the lock or do something else to lock the door. You can't lock the door anyway, and then sneak into my house in the middle of the night. What's the difference between that and being in my house?"

Qin Lan was very smart and saw through Yan Li's trick, which made Yan Li a little embarrassed. If he had known this earlier, he would not have changed the bedroom door at home.

His little tricks were exposed, and Yan Li gave up, lying down in his arms holding Qin Lan like a scoundrel.

"Anyway, I'm not leaving today."

Qin Lan discussed with him: "Can you sleep on the sofa?"

Yan Li shook his head: "I can't get used to it."

"Then I'll sleep."

"No, it hurts."

Qin Lan gritted her teeth in anger, and finally acted like a rogue: "Not today anyway."

She really didn't want to, and Yan Li didn't want to force her. He also knew Qin Lan's concerns. In fact, if he made a few promises, it would greatly alleviate Qin Lan's worries.

But Yan Li didn't want to make promises casually!
If you don't give this thing, you are just not a human being. But if you give people hope and then let them down, you are worse than an animal.

Well, let Qin Lan be reserved for a few more days. Anyway, she has been in the capital for some time, and the meat is at her fingertips, so she can't run away.

However, if you can't eat the main course, you have to have some cold dishes and desserts to fill your stomach.

Qin Lan also knew that Yan Li was a gullible person and it was impossible for him to do it without paying any price, so she gritted her teeth and reached out her hand.

Yan Li grabbed her wrist, and in Qin Lan's puzzled eyes, he lowered his gaze to her delicate pink feet...
