Chapter 882: Chapter 34: Chu Chen

The person who came to open the door was a man in his twenties.

He looked at Yan Yuan, who was sneaking around at the door, and asked, “Girl, do you need something?”

Yan Yuan quickly squinted and smiled, “No, nothing, I just smelled the delicious food you’re cooking. I followed the scent here!”

“?” The other person was obviously taken aback, not expecting her to say this.

The man was stunned for a moment, then politely said, “Um, we’re having a barbecue. Would you like to come in and join us?”

The man was just being courteous, assuming Yan Yuan wouldn’t actually come in.

Unexpectedly, the girl nodded almost without thinking, “Sure! I love a barbecue feast the most!”

Hearing Yan Yuan’s words, the opposite person was briefly stunned, this one was truly enthusiastic.

He was just speaking casually, what if she was Chu Chen’s fan and specifically found this place. If he let her in, wouldn’t Chu Chen’s address be exposed?

Jiang Mingyu smacked his mouth hard, it was all her fault for speaking recklessly.

Now Yan Yuan took it seriously and stood at the door unwilling to leave.

Yan Yuan looked at the man with the complex expression in front of her, wasn’t it just an invitation for a meal?

If worst comes to worst, she could ask Bai Chenxi to buy more seafood when she got back and make it herself.

She could cook and eat at the same time.

She turned around to leave.

Jiang Mingyu suddenly called her back, asking, “Girl, are you a fan of Chu Chen?”

Yan Yuan turned to look at him, puzzled, “I live downstairs. Who is Chu Chen?”

“Ah!…” Jiang Mingyu was obviously stunned, she actually didn’t know who Chu Chen was.

However, he thought about it, isn’t downstairs the place where the BOSS lives?

This whole apartment belongs to Fengying, and the BOSS lives alone in the entire building.

Jiang Mingyu scrutinized Yan Yuan, the young girl looked obviously undeveloped, instinctively thinking she might be the boss’s sister.

“Come on in… we made a lot of seafood barbecue. Just now I thought you were Chu Chen’s fan, worried you might expose his address.”

Jiang Mingyu, after figuring it out, quickly stepped forward and gestured for Yan Yuan to come in.

Yan Yuan, lured by the aroma inside and thinking about the tightly closed door downstairs, couldn’t resist the temptation and followed him inside.

The room’s layout was the same as downstairs, but the decor wasn’t as luxurious.

On the dining table in the living room, a grill was set up, roasting golden and juicy seafood.

Two or three men were busying themselves.

When they saw Yan Yuan come in, they all turned their heads, looking quite surprised.

“Mingyu, who is this!” the guy grilling squid asked with a squint and a smile, “You didn’t sneak her in from outside, did you!”

Jiang Mingyu immediately shot them a glance, angrily saying, “Watch what you say, she lives below us. She came here following the aroma! Now that she’s here, let’s eat together!”

Upon hearing she came from downstairs, everyone wiped the exaggerated expressions off their faces, replacing them with seriousness and politeness.

Yan Yuan was bewildered, why did they all look so serious after she mentioned she lives downstairs?

Is there a demon downstairs?

“Mingyu, weren’t you supposed to buy vinegar? Hurry up and go!” someone urged.

Jiang Mingyu smiled at Yan Yuan, “Take a seat, I’ll be right back!”

Yan Yuan naturally didn’t stand on ceremony. She walked to the dining table, looked at the busy and lean men, and cheerfully said, “Let me help you out!”

Zheng Zong smiled and handed Yan Yuan a brush, “Brush on the oil, but not too much. Brush while grilling, that’s how it gets flavorful!”

“Ha!” Yan Yuan gleefully stared at the grilled squid before her, eyes lighting up with excitement, almost drooling.

Zheng Zong chuckled, “Little sister, what’s your name?”

“Just call me Yan Yuan, everyone does,” Yan Yuan replied with a grin.

Zheng Zong blinked his clever big eyes and continued to ask, “What’s your relation to the BOSS?”

Saying this, she pointed downstairs.

Yan Yuan was instinctively taken aback.

Indeed, she had mentioned she lived downstairs, and that’s why they let her in.

It seems these people are connected to Bai Chenxi.

She couldn’t exactly say there was no connection, right?

From the telephone earlier, it was easy to tell Bai Chenxi was already married.

When a single man and woman are alone in a room, it’s easy to raise suspicions about the purity of their relationship.

So, what’s a good excuse she can use?

Something that won’t lead to misunderstandings about their relationship, yet will allow her to cling to his coattails and rise to great heights.

Yan Yuan scratched her head, flashing a brilliant smile at Zheng Zong, “What do you think my relationship with the BOSS is?”

“Hahaha!” Zheng Zong laughed heartily, “Are you testing me? Seeing how young you are, you must be some sister to the BOSS, right?”

Upon hearing this, Yan Yuan’s eyes immediately lit up.

She quickly nodded, cheerfully patting Zheng Zong’s shoulder, “You’re incredibly smart. That’s right, I’m his distant cousin. My mother sent me to Fengying to become a big star in the future.”

“Really? Well, it just so happens I’m Chu Chen’s agent. Yueyue, how about once you debut, I’ll manage you!” Zheng Zong looked at Yan Yuan, seeing that this girl’s beauty was undeniable.

Besides being beautiful, she was forthright and spoke confidently. If she were to become a star, she’d be a big name in two to three years!

Yan Yuan chuckled, “I’ll go by whatever the company arranges!”

She politely declined him.

As a newcomer, this was the proper etiquette.

“Zheng Zong, are you planning to abandon me and support someone else now?” A cold male voice rang out from the stairway.

Curious, Yan Yuan immediately looked up.

At the stairway stood a man dressed in black casual wear.

Slender and tall, his clothes wrapped around a rather skinny figure, his features were strikingly well-defined, and a head of chestnut-colored short hair made his skin appear pale as snow.

Clearly a man who seemed a gust of wind could blow him away, yet there wasn’t a hint of frailty. On the contrary, he looked as though he stood at an unattainable height.

Yan Yuan immediately shivered, shaking her head.

As the world’s number one woman, how could she view someone this way?

No matter how aloof and noble he was, it didn’t compare to her own remarkable status!

However, it had to be admitted, this kind of guy as a star is simply a killer for young girls!

Yan Yuan thought for a long time before recalling who Chu Chen was.

He was currently a famous and popular actor, starred in many youth idol dramas, always appearing as a domineering CEO type, plus he carried an ascetic vibe.

Yan Yuan chuckled, quickly waving at Chu Chen, “Hi, I’m Yan Yuan. Also a fan of yours!”

The words were slightly strained, clearly an attempt to cozy up.

Because this barbecue feast was hosted by Chu Chen, complimenting the host was something she loved to do.

Chu Chen walked to the dining table indifferently.

Zheng Zong immediately introduced Yan Yuan, “She’s the BOSS’s cousin, so be polite.”

Chu Chen frowned upon hearing this. The BOSS’s cousin?

He hadn’t heard of her; hopefully she wasn’t some fool pretending to be connected to the boss.

Yan Yuan’s attention was entirely focused on the food.

Jiang Mingyu had bought the ingredients, and it was almost time to eat.

Yan Yuan sat at the table all the while, following Zheng Zong’s directions to barbecue.

Obviously, she looked at the barbecue more than she looked at Chu Chen.

Jiang Mingyu gazed at Yan Yuan’s expression, unable to hold back his laughter, “Now I finally believe one thing!”

“What?” Yan Yuan blinked in confusion, lifted her head for a second, then focused back on the delicious food before her.

“I think, in Yueyue’s eyes, Chu Chen isn’t as attractive as the food on the table!”

After Jiang Mingyu spoke, everyone seemed to notice this issue. They all burst into laughter!

It was their first time seeing a girl completely unfazed by Chu Chen.

From start to finish, no semblance of a fangirl expression appeared.

“Alright, let’s start eating! It’s ready!” Zheng Zong chuckled, “Yueyue, make yourself at home. We’ve made a lot of delicious food today, feel free to eat whatever you like.”

Yan Yuan blinked her large, round eyes, chuckling, “Really? I can eat to my heart’s content?”

Yan Yuan rubbed her hands together, eyeing the grilled squid in front of her, already drooling, “Then I won’t be shy!”

Chu Chen watched Yan Yuan, feeling that her mind was truly focused on eating.

No wonder Jiang Mingyu said she came from far away following the aroma!

This could possibly be the world’s most formidable foodie.

Just after Zheng Zong filled up the drinks, Yan Yuan had already devoured three sticks of grilled squid.

Seeing the girl’s appetite, he couldn’t help but laugh, “Yueyue, don’t rush. There’s plenty more, if you eat too much at once, there’ll be grilled fish, roasted crabs, and grilled lobsters later, you might not manage them.”

Yan Yuan, with a mouthful of meat, squinted with a smile, “Don’t worry, I can handle it! Today, I definitely won’t let you have any leftovers!”
