I Am Rich

59

With the smell of soup that was still steaming in the pot, Guan Zhiyi stayed in Qi Chengyan's arms for a short while, before looking up and saying, "Let's hug again later."

"Hm?"

"I have to turn off the fire."

Qi Chengyan laughed lightly then released her, "What else did you make?"

Guan Zhiyi pointed her fingers towards the oven, "There's roasted chicken wings inside, anyhow, I just use whatever is in the fridge, I'll also stir-fry some vegetables later. Well......I'm going to bring this soup out first now."

"I'll help you."

"No need, just wait outside."

"It's better if I do it."Said Qi Chengyan as he took the ladle from her hand. "You go take care of the vegetables."

"Can you do it? It's very hot, be careful."

Qi Chengyan glanced at her, feeling somewhat amused,"Do I look like a fool in your eyes?"

"Of course not." Guan Zhiyi thought for a moment, "It's just that I'm guessing you are just the same as my brother, he almost never comes to the kitchen."

For a young lady and young master who have always led a comfortable life, they naturally don't really know how to cook. Even Guan Zhiyi wouldn't know anything about the kitchen if it wasn't for the period of time where she lived alone.

"Just because I don't come often doesn't mean I can't." Qi Chengyan ladle out the soup into a bowl, while doing it he said, "I'll make something for you to try next time."

Guan Zhiyi took a glance at him, "Really? It won't be poisonous, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she took a nimble look at him before immediately sealed her mouth and went back to stir frying the vegetables.

The two ate dinner together when they finished cooking. Consequently after eating, they sat on the sofa and watched Guan Zhiyi's latest drama "Emergency Room" on TV, in which she acted as a doctor.

This drama just started airing not long ago and had only ten episodes online. Even so, the response is really good, it is also frequently trending on hot searches.

"You say, when do you think is the best time for me to tell my brother about us?"Guan Zhiyi who was lying around beside Qi Chengyan suddenly asked.

Qi Chengyan: "I'll tell Yuanbai about this matter myself."

"No, let me do it."

Qi Chengyan put his left hand around her shoulder and pinched her chin playfully,"You will do it? Are you sure you're able to tell him when you're like this?"

 

"......I'll try my best."

"That's enough, the one who's supposed to take care of this matter in the first place is me." Qi Chengyan said, "Previously, I saw that you were busy filming and haven't prepared to deal with this matter. So now that you're ready, I will naturally go and explain to Yuanbai."

"Then when are you going to tell him?"

Qi Chengyan thought for a moment, "I'll contact him later."

"Oh......"

The two of them then continue to chat idly with each other while watching the drama.

All of a sudden, as Guan Zhiyi watched the TV, she found that the direction where the plot was heading was somewhat fishy. Even though this drama focused mainly on the healthcare storyline, the love-line is also one of the main points to watch.

She looked at the screen and saw herself hurriedly coming down the stairs in it......

Hold on, this scene must be the one where she was about to crash into the actor, right? And following the collision, they will accidentally kiss, right?

Guan Zhiyi coughed softly, quickly took the remote control, "This drama doesn't seem to be very good. Let's just watch variety show"

Qi Chengyan doesn't watch dramas very often, however, to suddenly being cut off midway after watching two episodes, without doubt he will feel bemused. He looked at Guan Zhiyi with slight confusion, "What's wrong? Isn't it pretty good?"

Guan Zhiyi felt a little awkward and was about to raise her hand to change the channel. But before she could press the button, Qi Chengyan had already snatched the remote control away first.

"Eh…"

He could always very quickly tell when she was lying or was feeling uncomfortable in front of him. Qi Chengyan changed the remote control to a different hand and put it far away, "What is there that I can't see?"

On the screen, the two people had bumped into each other and the camera zoomed in at once.

Guan Zhiyi immediately reached out to cover Qi Chengyan's eyes, "It's not suitable for children!"

Qi Chengyan: "......"

The scene was brief, just a few seconds, and it quickly passed.

For an actress, every sort of act in the drama was merely a work, and she can very much distinguish the difference, but can tell the difference by herself is one thing, with Qi Chengyan's presence, she still felt so embarrassed.

"A kiss?" The person whose eyes were covered suddenly said coldly.

Guan Zhiyi: "If I said no... would you believe it."

Qi Chengyan pulled down her hand and smiled faintly at her, "I haven't seen it, I'll believe whatever you say."

How could this statement of his sound even more strange, ah.

"Actually, It's just a touch, only for a second, but the footage was paused for a long time, so it looks like a long kiss."

Qi Chengyan slightly raised his eyebrows.

Guan Zhiyi gulped,"You'll understand it, won't you? It's all necessary for filming, for actors, during those times, we're like a robot without feeling."

"If that's the case," said Qi Chengyan softly, "What are you covering my eyes for?"

"... Even though I say that, I'm still afraid you will feel unhappy when you see it."

"Oh?"

Guan Zhiyi immediately raised a finger, "But I swear, in my eyes those were just a work, kissing other people's lips is no different from kissing a piece of pork."

Qi Chengyan slowly approached her, "What about me?"

"O-of course you're not a pork."

"Then what am I?"

As he leaned closer and closer, Guan Zhiyi had no choice but to be pressed down, and was forced by him to stretch her hands backwards to support her body, "You are my boyfriend…"

"Well, then is your boyfriend's lips more kissable?"

"I don't know."

Qi Chengyan narrowed his eyes, which was somewhat perilous,"What?"

Guan Zhiyi said earnestly, "It's like this. The kisses in the dramas I have filmed so far were nothing more than lips touching, but it's different with you......"

Qi Chengyan looked at her, remaining calm and composed,"What's the difference?"

Fixing her attention on his lips, Guan Zhiyi whispered, "You can't stick your tongue out when filming......"

Qi Chengyan looked pensive, then suddenly leaned down and gave a light touch on her lips, "So you say it like that?"

Guan Zhiyi was stunned, her face turned red with a boom.

Seeing that she didn't say a word, Qi Chengyan reached out to cupped the side of her face, compelling her to open her mouth slightly.

"Tongue."

Guan Zhiyi stared at him blankly, "...... what are you doing?"

With a low and steady voice, Qi Chengyan slowly said, "Let's review how to kiss outside filming."

"Umm....."

As the president of an entertainment company, Qi Chengyan is well aware of the fact that to act one has to devote themselves toward the arts. He also knows that Guan Zhiyi's dream is to be an outstanding actress, and as an actor, there are some steps in acting that are beyond reproach.

He understood it already at an earlier time, but understanding is understanding, he still would never knowingly look at it.

If Guan Zhiyi hadn't covered his eyes a moment ago, he would probably just skip that over when he saw it. It's one thing to indulge her working for her career, but it's another thing to frankly see those certain intimate scenes.

He knows exactly what acting means to her, so there was no reason to be upset and angry. Acting unhappy is just him trying to tease her to see her nervous expression.

After all, this kind of teasing is the only way in which she would obediently let him bully her.

Guan Zhiyi and Qi Chengyan were in a flurry of intimacy on the sofa for a while, only when she was out of breath did he let go of her, he suddenly said,"Last time, that "Dawn and the Wild" drama, I didn't watch it fully either."

"Why are you talking about that all of a sudden?"

"Are there any kiss scenes with Xiao Ran?"

Guan Zhiyi was dumbfounded, "The biggest scene I had with him in that drama was just kissing his face......"

"Um." Qi Chengyan smiled, prepping his hand on her side, feeling satisfied, "Have he contacted you recently?"

Her acting with other people can be regarded as work, but Xiao Ran likes Guan Zhiyi, so he was a different case for Qi Chengyan.

"He's even busier than I am. How can he have that much time to contact me." Guan Zhiyi hesitantly said, "Brother, you're not still thinking that Xiaoran likes me, do you?"

"Is he not?"

"No."

Qi Chengyan pinched her face, "Alright then, it's good if he doesn't like you."

The two of them lay down on the sofa for a while, even if Guan Zhiyi said she wasn't tired a moment ago, but in fact, how could she not be tired after filming for such a long period of time. As she lay down for sometime, she fell asleep before she knew it.

Seeing that she was fast asleep, Qi Chengyan immediately carried her back to her room.

It was already past eleven o'clock at night when Guan Zhiyi woke up again.

The room was lit up by the bedside lamp. She scanned her surroundings and discovered that she was in Qi Chengyan's master bedroom, however, the room was quiet and peaceful, she was alone in this place.

Thus, she dazedly got out of bed and pushed open the door.

There were a lot of rooms upstairs, after Guan Zhiyi walked around without seeing Qi Chengyan presence, she yawned while walking to the study, half awake.

Qi Chengyan was indeed in the study, given that it was not yet his bedtime, he thought he'd come to take care of some business matters, when Song Li called. Song Li was currently playing outside with a group of friends and wanted to ask him to come over as well. But with a little girl still sleeping in his room, how could he go out?

Even so, Song Li was already too drunk, his video calls kept coming one after another. Later, Qi Chengyan was too lazy to pay attention to this drunkard, then just answered the call and simply put the phone on the table, allowing him to ramble by himself.

Song Li, this person, Qi Chengyan understood him very well, he would keep talking and never give up when he was drunk.

"Um...oh...ok…"

Qi Chengyan concentrated on the documents on the computer, absolutely not listening to what the other party was saying, just answering perfunctorily.

But just then, he suddenly heard a little noise, and when he raised his eyes to look, there was already a figure coming in through the door.

The sleepy little girl walked to his side and stood still, staring blankly at him.

Qi Chengyan was stunned, reaching out to pull her. When she saw him holding up his hand, she immediately slipped in and sat directly on his lap, nestling her whole body in his embrace.

"Why don't you sleep with me…"

She had just woken up from sleep, so her voice was still crisp, with a hint of coquettishness that she herself was unaware of.

Qi Chengyan paused, his first reaction was to seize the phone on the table, However, no matter how fast he was, he already gave Song Li over there a little glance.

Instantly, Song Li's exaggerated voice came from the headset,"Qi Chengyan! You, you, you, who are you holding?!"

Guan Zhiyi's hair was messy because of her sleep, she hadn't straightened it out when she came down, so when she was nestled in Qi Chengyan's embrace, her face wasn't seen by the camera. Moreover, with her just woken up voice, Song Li, who was not very familiar with her, wouldn't be able to recognize who she was.

Song Li kept shouting in his earphones, "No wonder you don't want to come...Hic! That beauty in your arms, Holy shit, Qi Chengyan! who-"

When he saw that this person was too drunk to use his eyes and ears properly, Qi Chengyan simply said, "I'll hang up."

After pressing off the video call, his ears were finally quiet down. He took off the earphones, reached out to put his arms around Guan Zhiyi, his voice softened,"Why did you wake up from your sleep?"

"I haven't woken up, I'm still sleepy..." Guan Zhiyi rubbed against his arms,"Who did you just talk to on the phone?"

"Song Li."

"What's with him?"

"Asking me to go out and meet them."

Guan Zhiyi propped her eyes open,"Will you go out?"

Qi Chengyan lowered his eyes and gave her a kiss on the forehead, "No."

"Oh."

"I will accompany you to sleep, okay?"

Guan Zhiyi said drowsily, "Okay, then you carry me......"

Qi Chengyan laughed gently, directly took her by the waist and carried her up, "Will do."

On the other side, Song Li, whose video call was being hung up on, walked while bumping and jolting toward the sofa side in the private room. He had drank too much, walked unsteadily, then fell straight on the sofa. Jiang Suizhou, who was getting jumped by him, disdainfully gave up his seat, "Don't throw up on me."

"No, I won't throw up--" Song Li vigorously propped up himself to sit and said to the people present, "I,I'm telling you, just now I saw, hic-- Qi Chengyan, hold-holding a woman. That, that woman also said, why didn't he sleep with her? God, she actually asked Qi Chengyan to sleep with her! I say, I was wondering since when did he not come when we called him, it turns out that he is hiding a woman in his house! How dare he value love over friendship. What a bastard- quick, let's go to his house and find him!"

The friends present, including Guan Yuanbai, who was being dragged out of his room, looked at him quietly for a moment, then as if they hadn't heard anything, everyone went back to their own business.

Ignoring Song Li, "Why don't you all listen to me... Aiya, trust me! I'm not talking nonsense, I- hoeek!"

Guan Yuanbai pinched his eyebrows, and said to someone on the side,"Take him to the toilet, don't let him throw up here."

"Eh oh, okay!"

Song Li said as he was being taken away, "Yuan Bai!! Really, really—"

"Song Li is not drunk, he's nuts," said a friend beside him, "He even saw Cheng Yan hugging a woman and accompanying other people sleeping, hahahahaha I'm laughing to death."

Guan Yuanbai hooked his lips, "If I didn't promise him to come out just now, it would have been laid out this way, this guy will drag you guys to my house to catch people."

"Hahahahaha, can he catch people with his current appearance, he can't even stand up."

"All right, let's not pay attention to him!"

"Then should I call Cheng Yan or not?"

"No, there should really be something up if he can't come over."
