Shi Lan successfully "stirred the pot," sending herself and a mysterious Mr. Shi trending online.
But after removing her makeup, Shi Lan, dressed in a thick down jacket, located her husband’s unassuming sedan and, right under the noses of her fans, made a smooth getaway.
Once they were away from the crowd, Yan Shixiu couldn’t help but pinch Shi Lan’s chin and kiss her uncontrollably, causing Xun Yinghua, who was driving, to almost crash into a roadside flowerbed.
He couldn’t resist, and he didn’t want to, he just wanted to kiss her.
After the lengthy kiss, Yan Shixiu let her go and holding her neck, asked, "Didn’t you say it was too early?"
Shi Lan reached out, embraced Yan Shixiu, and replied, "I only asked you to wait for me, but when did I say it was too early? Uncle Yan, I’m tired."
"Rest on my legs, we’ll be home in a bit."
Meanwhile, the internet was abuzz, and so was the work group at Shuangshi Headquarters.
The employees at headquarters all knew that Yan Shixiu had remarried and often saw the chairman’s wife, but she always wore a mask and never intentionally showed off the tattoo on her hand. As soon as the trending topic hit today, the work group exploded.
"Our lady is actually An Lan!"
"I used to disdain An Lan, thinking what the hell is this, but now that I know she’s the one who created Peak, I can only say, fuck! I bow down to her."
"The outside world has no idea how badass our lady is, right?"
"This is called a secret delight, get it?"
"Boss Yan, that... should you give everyone a red envelope?"
"Who in the department above dares to ask for death!"
The work chat was flooded with messages, but Yan Shixiu saw them and didn’t skimp on a hefty red packet.
A bunch of people in the group were overjoyed, almost as if it were Chinese New Year.
"Wishing Boss Yan and his wife a century of happiness and an early birth of a treasured child!"
Yan Shixiu looked down and gently stroked Shi Lan’s hair, his lips curling into a smile, a smile that hadn’t faded the entire ride, clearly showing his good mood.
Shi Lan was truly tired, resting on Yan Shixiu’s legs for a brief nap. When she woke up, she found herself in Boss Yan’s arms. Shi Lan opened her eyes for a few seconds, then closed them contentedly. No stage, no matter how dazzling, could compare to this warm embrace.
Shi Lan made it onto two trending searches tonight, one for the secret of the tattoo and the other for her transformative dance skills.
Even though there were few revelations, the few seconds of video from the scene were clearly explosive.
An Lan’s fans previously were either being trolled or trolling others online, but now... their idol was making things too easy for them.
No super topic creation, no chart battles, no fighting over resources, just quietly farming at home, occasionally hitting the trending lists, and just like that, her popularity soared, and her general appeal exploded. An Lan’s career-oriented fans used to fret when the lady said she was going back to farming, but now, they are utterly laid-back. They believe that An Lan isn’t coming out to perform because she’s undoubtedly at home learning some killer skills.
Previous fan battles and chart rankings yielded little, but now that everyone’s taken a laid-back approach, living their own lives, An Lan spontaneously became popular, what kind of divine idol is this?
By now, the internet was full of speculations about An Lan’s love life and that Mr. Shi, but the fans were completely relaxed.
Why the rush? Isn’t the show airing next week enough?
Look at these people who’ve never seen the world!
Thus, like their idol, An Lan’s fans became famous for being goofballs online.
@Mingming’s Fighter Jet: "I was just chatting with my bestie, she’s an An Lan fan, and I told her your idol’s dance moves are otherworldly. She calmly replied, ’Oh, my An Lan has been upgraded again, let me first save her look as a cripple. I was so shocked at her response!’"
@Tingting’s Family Tingting: "Hahaha, my friend is also an An Lan fan. I told her An Lan was trending, and she said it’s routine business, that woman who farms probably learned a new skill and is showing off again, it’s to die for!’"
@An Lan is not Blue: "Sometimes I wonder what the heck I’m a fan of. While I’m doing a test paper, she might graduate college, and if I play another round of King of Glory, she’d probably have her postdoc done."
