Chapter 429: Heard You Got Shelved (34)

Yu Jingchen seemed unsure of what to do with his hands and feet. Hearing her words, he gave a slightly awkward, bashful smile.

“Sister Xiaoxing, how about we go upstairs first, alright?”

Shen Mubai nodded.

“Sure!”

Xiaoguai let out a sigh of relief and gave Yu Jingchen a thumbs-up.

Yu Jingchen responded with an embarrassed smile, his bright eyes revealing an innocent, unguarded expression.

The three entered the apartment.

Even after stepping inside, Shen Mubai kept holding onto Yu Jingchen’s hand.

“I have so, so much to tell you!”

Xiaoguai couldn’t help but find it amusing.

She had never noticed this side of Sister Xiaoxing before.

Faced with her clinginess, Yu Jingchen let out a helpless chuckle and replied in a gentle tone, “Alright, Sister Xiaoxing, how about we have some hangover soup first?”

Shen Mubai shook her head.

“No, I ate too many dishes tonight. I can’t drink anymore.”

As she spoke, she pulled Yu Jingchen to sit with her on the sofa. Hiccupping, she said, “Jingchen, you have to become a big star, super famous!”

She giggled foolishly.

“I’ll be relying on you in the future. You absolutely must make it big!”

If Xiaoguai had been present, she might have been shocked by these words.

However, she was currently in the kitchen fetching water and didn’t hear a thing.

Yu Jingchen’s breathing faltered for a moment as he stared intently at the person in front of him.

“Sister Xiaoxing, what do you mean by that?”

Shen Mubai, still half-dazed, found a comfortable position to lean against him.

With her head lowered, she mumbled incoherently, “Yu Jingchen, you have to rise to fame… but don’t be too kind. Otherwise, in this entertainment industry, you’ll be chewed up until there’s nothing left of you.”

A softness flickered in Yu Jingchen’s gaze.

He gently placed a hand on her hair and murmured, “Sister Xiaoxing, the same goes for you.”

His eyes lingered on her alluring, red lips, and he almost couldn’t stop himself from leaning in for a kiss.

Just then, Xiaoguai returned with the water.

She saw Shen Mubai leaning heavily on Yu Jingchen, while he appeared flustered and shy.

The sight made her chuckle helplessly.

“Sister Xiaoxing, have some water.”

Shen Mubai waved her hand away and pouted, “I don’t want any.”

Xiaoguai sighed in exasperation and tried persuading her patiently. “Sister Xiaoxing, please don’t make a fuss anymore. If Brother Yu stays any later, he won’t have a place to sleep.”

Drunken and unreasonable, Shen Mubai completely ignored her words, even making a silly face.

“Bleh! I won’t!”

Xiaoguai was at her wits’ end.

Since it was late and she didn’t want to disturb Sister Hong, she decided to wait a little longer.

Unexpectedly, over an hour passed, and Shen Mubai still showed no sign of letting go.

Finally, Xiaoguai suggested, “Brother Yu, how about you stay here tonight?”

The apartment was secure and private, with paparazzi unable to enter, so Xiaoguai felt confident in making the decision.

Besides, after several months of interactions, she trusted both Shen Mubai and Yu Jingchen’s character.

Yu Jingchen froze at the suggestion, hesitating.

“Would that… be alright?”

Xiaoguai reassured him, “It’s fine. I trust you and Sister Xiaoxing’s relationship. As long as you don’t mind sleeping on the sofa, it’s settled.” She added sheepishly, “There’s really no other option. Sorry for the trouble, Brother Yu.”

Yu Jingchen smiled warmly and replied softly, “I don’t mind.”

And so, the arrangement was made.

Since Shen Mubai wasn’t in any condition to move on her own, and Xiaoguai wasn’t strong enough to carry her, she had no choice but to ask Yu Jingchen for help.
