Chapter 286 Encountering Again

After Qin Yiche left with Chen Qianqian, Lin Ling sat blankly in the room until dark, only standing up when her stomach growled.

She had planned to get a good night's sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did, so she got up and sat there in a daze.

It was already 7 p.m. when I stepped out of the room again.

I opened the refrigerator and sure enough, there was steak and pasta, as well as some yogurt and fruit.

Judging from the looks of it, Qin Yiche has probably been spending a lot of time sleeping in the apartment over the past month, and the food there is very fresh.

Lin Ling fried a steak, washed some fruit, and filled her stomach.

Then he continued to sit on the living room sofa, lost in thought.

I just sat there, with only a floor lamp on and no TV.

After sitting for a while, she took out her phone and downloaded a rental app. It seemed like this was something she needed to put on the agenda and consider.

If someone's girlfriend has already moved in, it would be really inappropriate for you not to move out yourself.

Lin Ling scrolled through the newly downloaded app, looking at nearby rental apartments. She had to admit that the housing prices in the city center were incredibly expensive; even a small studio apartment cost seven or eight thousand. She decided to broaden her search and look at places further away.

Then, as I scrolled through my phone, time flew by, and when I looked up again, two more hours had passed.

After looking at houses for so long without finding one she liked, she decided to find a real estate agent to recommend one.

Lin Ling stood up, stretched her neck, and prepared to take a shower.

She had just moved her neck a couple of times when she heard the door open, and she froze.

The next second, Qin Yiche opened the door and walked in.

Lin Ling kept one hand on her neck as she watched Qin Yiche open the door, close the door, change his shoes, and their eyes met...

Qin Yiche walked calmly and confidently toward Lin Ling, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Lin Ling lowered her hand from her neck. "Get ready, go take a shower."

Qin Yiche nodded and walked past her to return to his room. Only after he got closer did Lin Ling smell a faint scent of alcohol and notice the slight flush on his cheeks.

Lin Ling asked instinctively, "Have you been drinking?"

Qin Yiche paused, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, I had a little." Then he walked towards his room.

After he entered the room, Lin Ling turned around and left the living room to take a shower.

The next day, Lin Ling didn't get up until noon. If she hadn't been hungry, she would have continued sleeping and wouldn't have gotten up at all.

I haven't slept in for so long, and the feeling of a good night's sleep is just so wonderful.

Lin Ling, wearing pajamas and rubbing her eyes, came out of her room, intending to order takeout to fill her stomach before going back to sleep.

She yawned and prepared to go to the restroom first.

I didn't expect Qin Yiche to be home at this time, after all, it's not the weekend.

So when Qin Yiche suddenly asked her, "Get up?" Lin Ling was startled and woke up from her drowsiness.

Staring wide-eyed at the person sitting on the living room sofa, I was stunned.

How come this person is at home...?

Qin Yiche seemed to read her mind and explained, "I've been working mostly from home lately. What's wrong? Why are you so surprised to see me?"

"Oh~" Lin Ling came to her senses and replied blankly, "I'm going to wash up." Then she slipped into the bathroom.

When she finished washing up and came out, Qin Yiche was still sitting on the sofa, motionless, in the same position she had left in.

Lin Ling took small steps and sat down on the single sofa to the side, and asked, "Have you had lunch? I'm about to order takeout, do you want to come along?"

Qin Yiche turned to look at Lin Ling, his gaze sharp.

"W-what's wrong?" Lin Ling asked somewhat guiltily.

"Don't you get enough takeout meals on set? You finally get two days off and you're still eating takeout?" Qin Yiche said, then stood up. "Come on, let's go get some good food." He then grabbed his car keys and headed out.

Lin Ling originally wanted to refuse, but suddenly didn't know what excuse to use. Qin Yiche had already gone to the entrance and changed his shoes. Seeing Lin Ling still standing there, he urged, "What are you standing there for? You're still asleep. Hurry up and go, or you won't get a number."

Lin Ling eventually went out to find food with Qin Yiche.

Qin Yiche drove Lin Ling to a famous star-rated restaurant in Jiangcheng. It is frequented by many celebrities and wealthy people. You can't get into the restaurant without some kind of influence.

Qin Yiche had made a reservation in advance, so he took Lin Ling directly into the private room.

Lin Ling felt it was a bit excessive for the two of them to eat in a private room, and said, "Aren't there any seats outside? Isn't it a bit wasteful for the two of us to use such a big table?"

"It's noisy outside," Qin Yiche said, ordering food with his head down. Lin Ling immediately shut up.

Fine, anyway, it won't cost her any money.

Qin Yiche ordered a lot of dishes, and even though Lin Ling hadn't eaten since last night and was starving, she still couldn't finish all the food.

However, she had already eaten quite a bit, and the taste was commensurate with the price—it was very delicious. Lin Ling decided to pack the remaining two plates of barely touched Australian lobster and garlic spare ribs to go.

Qin Yiche said no, looking disgusted, but still called a waiter to pack it up for her.

The two walked out of the private room one after the other, and unexpectedly ran into Chen Qianqian, Abby, and the boss of another entertainment company in Jiangcheng having dinner in the next private room. The boss had just finished eating and was coming out as well.

Lin Ling, carrying the takeout box, paused for a moment, thinking, "What a coincidence!"

Did he get caught red-handed by someone's girlfriend?!

She stood there, conflicted, unsure whether to continue walking, or perhaps she could pretend she hadn't come with Qin Yiche, then there wouldn't be any misunderstanding.

When Abby saw Qin Yiche, she was also stunned for a moment, and her face showed some discomfort and embarrassment.

Another entertainment company had been contacting them before, originally targeting Dynasty Entertainment, so they hadn't paid much attention. Yesterday, she felt she should have a backup plan, so when the other party contacted her again today, she told Chen Qianqian and then came to the dinner.

I never expected to run into Qin Yiche by such a coincidence.

Chen Qianqian also wanted Qin Yiche to know that she didn't need him and that she was in negotiations with other companies, so when she saw Qin Yiche, she was only stunned for a moment before resuming her aloof demeanor.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yiche simply nodded slightly as a greeting.

Abby wanted to greet Qin Yiche and say something to show their attitude, but Qin Yiche had already looked away and was no longer looking at them. He shouted at Lin Ling, "Lingling, hurry up and go home."

Lin Ling hurriedly passed through the group and followed.

She could feel a dagger-like gaze fixed on her from behind. Lin Ling didn't care about anything else and quickly left the scene.
