Chapter 50: 050 Kneel and Apologize
In Lanting Hotel, suite 1117, a luxurious panoramic suite.
Shi Lan had just finished dinner and was sitting on the sofa reading a script when she heard the doorbell. She thought it was hotel service delivering fruit, so she asked Sun Ling to open the door.
Sun Ling, turning off the water, came out of the bathroom and ran towards the door shouting, “Coming, coming…”
However, when she opened the door, she froze…
Leading the “Cheating Catching Team,” Tang Ze stood impressively at the doorway.
Tang Ze made frantic gestures with his eyes while Chen Beini and her assistant tiptoed to peek inside the room. Yan Shixiu, feeling it improper to enter Shi Lan’s room, had his assistant check while he stayed in the hotel lobby. His assistant didn’t intend to go in either, so he stood at the back, less noticeable.
Sun Ling, not understanding the situation, tentatively asked, “Brother Tang, are you looking for An Lan?”
Tang Ze sighed and asked, “Is An Lan dressed appropriately?”
Sun Ling nodded eagerly.
Following Tang Ze’s command, Sun Ling pushed the door open wider and stepped aside.
Tang Ze, leading the way into the living room, looked around and, seeing nothing amiss, finally relaxed.
Because he didn’t know about the body pillow.
But Chen Beini was different; she went straight into Shi Lan’s bedroom and saw the “figure” on the bed.
“Look!” Chen Beini pointed at Shi Lan’s bedroom and said to the group.
Shi Lan, turning her head from the sofa and seeing the group, tilted her head with a somewhat amused expression and asked, “Who let you in?”
“An Lan, you’re really disgusting, flirting with Chengyu while keeping a ‘beauty’ hidden; you even bring men into the production team. You really know how to play. No wonder Chengyu is so disgusted by you.” Chen Beini pointed at the “man” in Shi Lan’s room and scolded.
At that moment, Tang Ze noticed the “man” tucked in the blanket and his expression grew extremely sour.
After hearing Chen Beini’s words, Shi Lan immediately understood the purpose of these idlers barging into her room late at night.
Here to catch a cheater?
However, Shi Lan remained calm and glanced at the room before asking, “Does my private life affect my work?”
“It’s exactly because you’re so disgusting that Chengyu can’t act properly with you,” Chen Beini said pompously, then turned towards Shi Lan’s bedroom, “Hey, handsome in there, maybe it’s time to come out?”
Everyone turned to look at the bedroom.
With indescribable expressions.
Tang Ze exchanged a frantic look with Sun Ling, who indicated she was feeling very conflicted.
Because she felt that revealing the body pillow would be as embarrassing for Shi Lan as getting caught cheating.
“An Lan, I didn’t expect you to give up on yourself to this extent,” Tang Ze said harshly, “You promised me you’d focus on your career!”
“Besides you all, there are no other men in this room,” Shi Lan said calmly.
“You’re still denying it. We all saw it,” Chen Beini pointed at the bedroom and sneered.
At that moment, Shi Lan stood up from the sofa and glanced coldly at Chen Beini, “If there is no man in my room, will you kneel and apologize to me?”
“Fine! If there really is no man in your room, I’ll kneel and apologize to you immediately,” Chen Beini said loudly, not believing that Shi Lan could make a living man disappear.
“Remember your words and go check for yourself,” Miss Shi said, rolling her eyes, completely unaware that Yan Shixiu’s assistant was still standing at the door.
The group hastened to Shi Lan’s bedroom and flung back the bed covers, and then…
