"That depends on what you plan to do." Lin Yue paused her tapping, "But no matter what, I won't leave Su Yao."
"This matter is settled."
Her voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness.
"I offered a chance to discuss, but no one wanted to talk. Since that's the case, we must accept reality."
Lu Chen sighed, "How can we accept? This is an endless war."
Lin Yue leaned back against the sofa and closed her eyes. She exhaled a breath of frustration, "Then I'm always ready for battle."
Lu Chen didn't want to ruin the mood right after seeing Lin Yue, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Alright, let's not talk about that for now."
"I came back to discuss something with you."
"I've been involved in a project for a while now; it's about short dramas going overseas."
Lu Chen sat up straight, returning to a work mode.
"The domestic market has become saturated and quality varies greatly. I think now is a good time to create high-quality short dramas."
After listening, Lin Yue squinted slightly, "I've heard that short dramas are quite popular, but I haven't delved into it deeply yet."
"This project has competitors, so we need to make our decisions quickly." Lu Chen said with some urgency.
"I understand. Please send me the industry research and project materials." Lin Yue replied calmly.
She paused for a moment, "Does Xiao Rou know about this project? What does she think?"
Lu Chen smiled, "She knows. She said she supports whatever you agree to do."
Lu Chen observed Lin Yue's expression.
"Do you... keep in touch with her?" Lu Chen casually asked.
Lin Yue's gaze suddenly dimmed as she shook her head.
"Do you miss her?"
"Yeah." Lin Yue's voice was soft.
Lu Chen reached out and gently ruffled Lin Yue's hair, his actions carrying a brotherly tenderness.
"I really miss the times when the three of us were together every day."
Lin Yue remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I miss that too."
Lu Chen yawned, rubbed his temples, and gently patted Lin Yue's shoulder.
"Alright, I'm going to adjust my time zone."
At two in the morning, Lin Yue finished reviewing all the materials and called Lu Chen.
"Brother Chen, I've gone through the project, and I think it's feasible," Lin Yue's voice sounded weary.
"Why are you still working so late?" Lu Chen's tone carried a hint of reproach, but more than that, it was filled with concern. He regretted pushing her for a quick decision earlier in the day.
"Let's discuss it in detail at the company tomorrow."
"Alright, you should get some sleep..."
Just as he was about to hang up, Lin Yue suddenly said, "Wait a moment, Brother Chen."
"Let’s talk later tomorrow and include Xiao Rou as well."
Lu Chen paused for a moment before responding with excitement, "Sure! I'll call her right now."
On the other end of the line, Jiang Rou felt a rush of joy mixed with a pang of bittersweetness upon hearing that Lin Yue had taken the initiative to invite her.
"Did she really say she wants to see me?"
"Yes," Lu Chen replied, equally thrilled.
Jiang Rou understood that Lin Yue still held feelings for her; their bond couldn't be easily severed. Regardless of what those feelings were, this realization gave her the determination to bring Lin Yue back into her life.
"It's the first time the three of us have been apart for so long," Lu Chen remarked. "When are you coming back?"
"I don't know," Jiang Rou's voice quivered slightly.
"I just don’t know how to face Lin Yue."
"Especially seeing Lin Yue with Su Yao... it really hurts."
"I understand you. If time and distance could lessen everything, I would gladly endure this period with you," Lu Chen comforted her.
Jiang Rou chuckled softly on the other end of the line.
"Stop being so mushy over there!"
"You can't bear to be away from Lin Yue; she will always hold the top spot in your heart."
Lu Chen teased, "Aren't you the same? No one can replace her."
The two shared a bittersweet laugh, filled with helplessness and sorrow.
The next morning, Lin Yue went to the film set as usual. Su Yao had an early shoot today and arrived well ahead of time.
Seeing Lin Yue looking unwell, Su Yao asked with concern, "Did you not sleep well?"
"Yeah, Lu Chen found a project, and I was up until dawn yesterday," Lin Yue replied.
Su Yao gently touched Lin Yue's face, feeling a pang of sympathy. "You should rest at home today."
"It's fine; I want to see you every day," Lin Yue said playfully, melting Su Yao's heart.
The distance between them gradually closed, and they could feel each other's warm breath.
"Su Yao!" Suddenly, someone called out.
Reluctantly, they pulled away from each other.
Su Yao saw that it was Ye Lan calling her and happily waved. "Teacher Ye, you're here so early?"
"I'm here to watch you film," Ye Lan said as she approached, her gaze landing on Lin Yue and scrutinizing her from head to toe.
Su Yao introduced them, "This is Ye Lan; this is Lin Yue."
"Mr. Lin, I've long admired your reputation," Ye Lan extended her hand, continuing to examine Lin Yue's face closely. "Thank you for investing in this drama."
Lin Yue felt a bit uncomfortable under her gaze but shook Ye Lan's hand firmly. "Hello, Teacher Ye. We really appreciate your work."
"You're too kind, Mr. Lin. I also admire your investment insight," Ye Lan replied politely.
They exchanged smiles that carried an undercurrent of competition.
Su Yao's scene began filming.
Lin Yue and Ye Lan both watched intently as Su Yao performed.
Standing behind the monitor, neither spoke a word, but the tension in the air was palpable enough for the crew to sense it.
At that moment, Zhang Zihao appeared.
Neither Lin Yue nor Ye Lan acknowledged him.
He looked at the two formidable opponents before him and couldn't help but smile wryly to himself. With both strong contenders present, Su Yao would hardly have time for him now.
Understanding the situation, he discreetly left.
Zhang Zihao went straight to the hospital to visit Su Yuyan, carrying various gifts with him.
"Oh dear, Zihao, bringing so many things is too extravagant."
Su Yuyan greeted him warmly.
Zhang Zihao smiled as he placed the gifts on the table and glanced around the room.
"Wow, so much fruit! It seems like a lot of people have come to see you."
He patted his forehead in mild frustration. "I came late; it looks like I haven't done my job well."
"Auntie, you must be bored in the hospital all alone, especially with Yao Yao busy filming."
"I don't have much to do anyway. I'll come by to keep you company whenever I have time and help alleviate your boredom."
He managed to make Su Yuyan smile brightly.
"Zihao is such a good boy, even more considerate than Yao Yao," Su Yuyan said with a laugh.
"Actually, no one has come to see me lately; only Ye Lan has visited."
Zhang Zihao paused for a moment, his gaze drifting back to the exquisite fruit baskets. It seemed that Ye Lan was indeed quite thoughtful towards Su Yao.
"By the way, Ye Lan invited Yao Yao to Thailand for filming," Su Yuyan mentioned casually.
Zhang Zihao's smile instantly froze.
Then he quickly returned to his previous smile. "That's a great opportunity; I'm willing to invest."
Su Yuyan replied nonchalantly, "It seems the investors have already been confirmed."
Zhang Zihao raised an eyebrow in skepticism. "So soon? Who's so generous?"
"That means they really have high hopes for Ye Lan or Su Yao."
Su Yuyan reflected on Zhang Zihao's words. Indeed, this project had been confirmed very quickly. But then she thought, "Ye Lan's work is outstanding; it's normal for someone to chase after investment."
"Look at Dark River; didn't Yuexing Capital also pursue it relentlessly for investment?"
She said this with a hint of irritation.
"Exactly, exactly."
Zhang Zihao hurriedly agreed while thinking to himself: It seems this Ye Lan is even more dangerous than I imagined.
