Chapter 264 Return to Shanghai

The cheerful ringtone sounded somewhat jarring in the office.

Li Mingxuan reached out and picked it up. When he saw the name Chang Xuanling on the caller ID, he immediately felt that he was having a very unlucky day.

"Why didn't you answer?"

Lin Yue also saw who had called, her beautiful eyes fixed on Li Mingxuan, a hint of danger emanating from her.

Li Mingxuan smiled awkwardly, then swiped.

"Hey."

"Brother Mingxuan".

"Xuanling, what's wrong?"

Li Mingxuan forced himself to remain calm and asked in a composed tone, but his eyes kept glancing at Lin Yue's pretty face, which was so close to his.

Even up close, Li Mingxuan could clearly see the tiny pores on Lin Yue's flawless skin.

He unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

I have to say, this woman is really beautiful.

It's practically flawless.

"Brother Mingxuan, have you forgotten what I told you before?"

Chang Xuanling's coquettish voice came through the phone.

"Hmm? You've told me a lot of things, how am I supposed to know which one you're referring to?"

"Oh dear, it's someone's birthday the day after tomorrow, didn't you forget?"

At this moment, in a large villa in Shanghai, a stylishly dressed young woman was reclining on a sofa, her two smooth, fair legs exposed to the sunlight beneath her pink dress.

Chang Xuanling pouted, her cute face filled with resentment.

"Oh, that? I haven't forgotten. I wrote it all down in my notes. Don't worry, I won't forget."

Li Mingxuan suddenly realized what it was all about.

Upon hearing what was happening on the phone, Lin Yue's beautiful eyes were fixed on Li Mingxuan's face.

"Really! When are you coming over?" Chang Xuanling was overjoyed to hear that Li Mingxuan hadn't forgotten her birthday, and her two fair legs kicked up on the sofa.

"Um, do you have a birthday party?" Li Mingxuan asked hesitantly, meeting Lin Yue's gaze.

"Yes, my parents will be hosting a banquet for me at home. Some of my friends will be there. It will start around 7 p.m.

Chang Xuanling thought for a moment, and then said.

“Okay, I’ll be there on time. Just send me the address,” Li Mingxuan replied.

Since he had already promised her, he certainly couldn't break his promise. Besides, he had just arrived in Shanghai at that time, and the young lady was genuinely kind to him.

She not only wrote him travel guides, but also enthusiastically helped him.

It's someone's birthday, you have to show your appreciation.

After hanging up the phone, Li Mingxuan looked at Lin Yue with a smile on his face, but he looked a little guilty no matter how you looked at it.

"Hehe, well, I have to go to Shanghai the day after tomorrow."

Lin Yue straightened up, her face expressionless.

"Yeah, I heard that."

“As you know, when I participated in ‘Rising Star’, she helped me a lot. Now it’s her birthday and she’s invited me to attend. I had already agreed, so I can’t not go.”

Li Mingxuan smiled slightly, making his voice sound very gentle.

"Yes, you definitely have to go. Otherwise, people will think you're ungrateful. I support you."

Lin Yue nodded, responding nonchalantly.

"So, regarding the album, could you please trouble our beautiful, kind, gentle, and generous Boss Lin to help arrange it?"

"can."

Upon hearing this, Li Mingxuan was overjoyed and quickly got up to pour Lin Yue a glass of water.

"I knew you were loyal!"

Lin Yue took the water glass from Li Mingxuan and took a small sip.

"Is the gift ready?"

Li Mingxuan was taken aback: "A gift?"

"You go to someone's birthday party without bringing a gift?" Lin Yue rolled her eyes at him.

"Um, not yet, I don't know what to send."

Li Mingxuan gave an awkward smile.

In both his lifetimes combined, Li Mingxuan had never given a girl a gift, nor had he ever attended anyone's birthday party.

Not to mention what gifts to give.

"You're really something, I'm impressed. I'll prepare the gift for you. You just need to stay in the studio these next two days and don't go anywhere."

Lin Yue gritted her teeth, looking like a mother disciplining her son, disappointed in him.

"Thank you so much! Don't worry, I will stay home for the next two days. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Li Mingxuan grasped Lin Yue's hand firmly and expressed his sincere gratitude.

The burning sensation from Li Mingxuan's large hand made Lin Yuefang's heart tremble, as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

She quickly pulled her hand away, turned her back to him, and blushed deeply.

"You, you should just stay put."

After saying that, he opened the door and left, leaving Li Mingxuan standing there alone.

The beauty has left, but Li Mingxuan's hand still lingers in mid-air, and he can still faintly feel the soft warmth in his palm.

He subconsciously brought the sniff closer and revealed a lecherous grin.

"The people are truly, truly happy today..."

From inside the room, one could faintly hear Li Mingxuan's cheerful, inexplicable singing.

Outside the door, passersby heard the commotion inside and looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what the legendary Teacher Li was so happy about.

Judging from the situation, it seems like they're singing. Could it be a new song?

Some people speculate that this is the case.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Mingxuan drove alone towards Shanghai.

This time, he didn't take the bus anymore. Now that he's bought a car, who would still take the bus?

Moreover, he didn't even bring Xu Wuxia this time.

He ostensibly wanted her to stay in the studio to replace him and help Lin Yue finish the album.

As Li Mingxuan sped along the highway, he enjoyed the sunlight and the gentle breeze, feeling indescribably relaxed.

On the passenger seat, the gift Lin Yue had prepared for him was quietly placed.

The exquisite packaging box made Li Mingxuan even happier.

He wasn't worried at all that Lin Yue would have ulterior motives regarding the gifts.

He was very sure of this.

Lin Yue, that woman, might trip him up in some small matters, but when it comes to interpersonal relationships and saving face, she's absolutely reliable.

Although they had only known each other for three or four months, he truly felt a sense of trustworthiness from Lin Yue.

She went to great lengths to invite him to join her team, even though she hadn't even decided on a name for the studio yet. Li Mingxuan still resolutely chose to join.

There is absolutely no coercion involved.

Liu Wenyuan's existence only brought his decision forward a little bit.

That's right!

Li Mingxuan thought so.

He ate lunch at the studio before setting off.

It was only three or four o'clock when we arrived in Shanghai.

According to the address provided by Chang Xuanling, it would take another hour to navigate there.

It should be close to rush hour.

Hopefully, the traffic won't be too bad.

the other side.

At Chang Xuanling's home.

Mr. and Mrs. Chang were helping their daughter choose clothes.
