Chapter 515 - Linlang
Chapter 515: Linlang
He said it was late, and they had already left. Moreover, it was unlikely for Lu Yi to ask for a compensation with his temper. The family of two was rich and they wanted their way.
Lu Yi stopped the car outside the shopping mall and after making Yan Huan promise to stay in the car obediently, he got out to buy a cell phone.
He spent half a day’s worth of time marching around the store, undecided on which one to purchase.
“Hello sir, are you looking for a cell phone?” the clerk asked at the store. One glance at his attire was enough to tell that this person would not spend on a cheap phone. She had seen these clothes at the mall before, and this brand was costly; and the watch around his wrist, that must have cost a fortune as well.
Lu Yi stopped in his tracks as his eyes fixated on a familiar photo at the counter. In this familiar photo was a familiar face, all too familiar to him.
“Are you buying for a woman, Sir?”
The clerk asked again, testing the waters. She had noticed that Lu Yi’s pocket already had a silver smartphone, the latest model a certain company had just announced – the rather expensive kind.
“Mhm,” Lu Yi’s gaze remained locked on the photograph, but from the clerk’s point of view, it seemed as if he was looking at a female mobile phone.
She unlocked the glass display case and retrieved a rose gold smartphone from within. “This is one of our latest models; the endorser for it is Yan Huan, the recipient of the best actress award. Because the company donated a hundred million to Serene City, Miss Yan accepted the endorsement for free. It’s a bestseller lately, plus it has many useful features, what do you think? It’s very suitable for females.”
Lu Yi grabbed the phone in his hands. He held it for a bit to feel its weight; although light, it felt sturdy. On top of that, its design was beautiful, comparable to international standards.
“I’ll take this.” Lu Yi placed the phone back onto the counter without asking about the price. After all, there was no way these people could lie to his face as the prices of this type of products were fixed everywhere.
Lu Yi took the bag into the car, and held out the phone to Yan Huan.
“How’d you know I wanted this model?” Yan Huan admired the phone up and down, obviously taking a strong liking to it. This was the model she endorsed, the new model. Earlier when the company offered to gift her a few, she rejected them. She liked this company which had a clear conscience.
Lu Yi pulled the phone from her grasp and slipped in the card for her. “I feel a need to get you a lanyard to hang around your neck.” The phone seemed too large for Yan Huan’s tiny hands, so her grip was not exactly firm. In the worst-case scenario, she might even drop it again.
“I feel so too,” Yan Huan was really enjoying herself being disrespectful as a joke. She put down the phone and swung her arms around Lu Yi’s neck, bringing their lips together for a passionate French kiss. Lu Yi’s hand traveled to her hips, his natural dominance surfacing, taking all of her breath away. After a long time, they broke apart panting, and as of right now, the atmosphere in the car seemed to have changed, like it had a special tint to it now.
If they were not downtown, perhaps they would have shaken the car.
But of course, if it was not now, it would be soon.
After they reached home, the married couple did not waste any time – otherwise how else were they supposed to live up to their name as a married couple? The newly bought smartphone was laid aside, abandoned by its owner.
Yan Huan latched her arms around Lu Yi’s waist, curling her entire body into his chest.
“Dear Lu Yi…” Her voice was hoarse, very hoarse. Lu Yi turned and held her even tighter.
“What is it?” He whispered back while caressing her hair, comforting her heart.
“Even Yiyi is expecting.”
“Mhm,” Lu Yi answered in a gentle tone, his hand still on her hair, smoothing it downward in a rhythmic pattern.
“Can we go adopt a child?” Yan Huan did not mention the topic of having children. It did not matter if she had children. She knew she had Lu Yi and in this life, being unable to have children might be her regret, but having met Lu Yi was her greatest happiness.
“Sure,” Lu Yi agreed. But as he looked up, his black pupils concealed an unknown sorrow.
They really would not be able to have children in their lives.
Not too long later, Luo Lin returned with Yan Huan’s car.
As for Yan Huan’s plans to start up a company, all kinds of required procedures were already done. This kind of thing was best handled by Lu Yi. All of the procedures were completed and nothing was left out.
They had planned for the location to be near the Ye family’s new airport, at the center three floors of an office building. These buildings were all the Ye’s properties, so no rental payment was required. This had led Yan Huan to decide to locate her new company there.
In the future, after they have secured their own building, then they would relocate there.
As for the company’s name, they ended up deciding on Linlang, Linlang Entertainment. Luo Lin felt like she had been given an extra advantage, after all the company was named after her – whether it was on purpose or not.
The investors of the company include Yan Huan, Yi Ling, and the Lei and Lu families – though it was only Ye Shuyun’s private investment and had nothing to do with the entire Lu family.
Everyone was acquaintances, so there were no conflicts. After everything had been finalized, they decided on Yan Huan as the decision-maker and Yi Ling as the legitimate person-in-charge.
After half a month of renovations, the new company was ready to welcome its staff and be officially open for operation.
“So what we need right now is more talents. Yan Huan, do you have anything else to add?” Luo Lin turned to Yan Huan. Yi Ling, being pregnant, could not attend the meeting, so she had Lei Qingyi come forth in her place. Lei Qingyi could do anything from catching criminals to getting in fights to being a bodyguard but, when it came to making movies, sorry, he might know how to watch movies, but he did not know how to operate stuff behind the scenes. Because of that, he simply sat in silence and watched.
At this moment, Yan Huan was still scribbling something down. Everyone’s eyes were focused on her. But ‘everyone’ was just a few people: Luo Lin, Lei Qingyi, Lu Yi and Ye Xinyu, who was currently jumping up and down with excitement. It had not been too long since he found out he would not be one-legged – his leg survived and he would still have four limbs.
It was evident that this experience had left the poor guy in shock and forced him to grow up a lot. He was a lot more obedient and matured. Furthermore, he had even pulled out his savings to invest in Yan Huan’s company as a shareholder.
Although the Ye family did not need his money, the young man wanted to be independent and do business himself; he wanted to grow and stop relying on his family.
Luo Lin felt that the young man had potential. After all, his face was really beautiful. However, he refused over and over again to enter the entertainment industry. He never liked when people complimented him for his looks – though he knew he was good-looking. It was exactly because of that that he had no place at home. If he was actually dared to go out and earn money with his appearance, his grandfather would have skinned him alive.
