CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 445 - 437: Dragon Sister

Morning, six o’clock

Lan Yening and Zhang Shuya bid each other farewell reluctantly as they needed to record the program.

The latter left first, and half an hour later, the former also exited the room.

Xiao Li’s phone vibrated, and upon seeing the text on the screen, she excitedly walked out.

"Does Brother like coffee?" Xiao Li asked as she stepped inside the room, catching a faint scent of coffee.

"This is the bed Brother sleeps in. Ah! Brother, it’s so warm."

Xiao Li flopped onto the bed, hugging the quilt and rolling back and forth, eventually burying her face in it and taking deep breaths.

"Brother’s body smells so, so good! He likes Chanel."

Pink bubbles appeared in Xiao Li’s mind but quickly burst into invisibility.

"Chanel!"

Xiao Li suddenly sat up from the bed, her face cycling through expressions of disappointment, fear, and anger like masks changing constantly.

She began searching and soon found a long strand of hair on the snowy-white sheets.

"No, no, this isn’t real. Maybe the cleaning staff forgot to change Brother’s bed sheets."

Xiao Li got up and stumbled around the bedroom, frantically rummaging through the bathroom’s trash cans.

Whew!

She exhaled deeply, finding nothing resembling what she imagined.

"Those women are so filthy; Brother would never fail to protect himself. I’m overthinking it."

Xiao Li kept convincing herself. Just as she was about to start searching again, her body froze in place.

On the nightstand ashtray were several white cigarette butts.

Shaking, Xiao Li picked them up and examined them carefully.

She recognized them—she’d seen them at Su Xiaoya’s house. They were expensive imported women’s cigarettes.

"No wonder there’s nothing like that. Turns out the sugar daddy came."

Xiao Li grinned, revealing unpleasant teeth, drool slipping from the corner of her mouth.

She looked insane, like a human pig monster about to lose control.

She knew these weren’t the kind of cigarettes ordinary women could afford, and Lan Yening didn’t smoke.

So, most likely, it was the sugar daddy backing Lan Yening who had been here.

Since it’s the sugar daddy, of course, they meet regularly. If one party had surgery, naturally no protection measures would be needed.

Calm down! Calm down!

Brother might have been forced by circumstances; after all, wanting to rise to fame isn’t easy.

Calm down! Calm down!

I need to understand Brother’s difficulties; he’s only giving his body, not his heart.

Xiao Li kept numbing herself with such words, but tears of resentment still streamed from her eyes.

Those tears mourned the shattering of something pure as glass in her heart.

"I need to find out who that person is!" Xiao Li gritted her teeth and walked out.

Noon, eleven o’clock

Su Xiaoya groggily woke up from bed.

"How did I sleep for so long? My internal clock didn’t wake me up."

She muttered a few words, noticing Xiao Li still sound asleep on the floor.

"Xiao Li, wake up! It’s so late. Go order food; I’m starving."

She lazily stepped on Xiao Li’s face a few times.

"Whew! Yesterday was exhausting. I was so beat I didn’t know north from south when I fell asleep."

Xiao Li rubbed her slender eyes and lazily got up.

"Xiao Ya, I’ll go order food now. What would you like to eat?"

"...Forget it. It’s already this late; let’s clean up and head to a restaurant after washing up." Su Xiaoya headed toward the bathroom, wondering why she had slept so deeply.

But since Lan Yening’s first concert wasn’t until the evening, she wasn’t worried.

Yuezhou State

Dressed in sporty attire, led by Lu Bingbing, the Galaxy Girl Group walked into the stadium with youthful strides.

Whether intentional or incidental, Penguin also brought 11 members of Galaxy.

These girls had variety show experience, so they faced the cameras confidently.

At the same time, they tried their best to hog the spotlight. They knew that if they were lucky, post-editing might allow them to retain a second or two of screen time.

"What’s this?"

"Height, weight... Are we really supposed to write this down?"

"I don’t want to fill this out; shouldn’t it be a secret?"

"I haven’t written anything for a while. Is this how my name is supposed to look?"

The girls joked and laughed like they were carefree, but in reality, they were vying for more screen presence.

After Natural Idol became immensely popular,

Many analyzed that one pivotal strategy was to leave a memorable impression during the introduction.

The girls quickly finished filling out their forms, but the production team asked them to wait before heading off.

Yu Qingjia smiled and glanced at her older sister. Lu Bingbing signaled with her eyes that she was clueless about the situation, too.

The latter was originally supposed to be busy filming, but due to production issues with her drama, she was able to join.

Galaxy had initially considered Li Jiaqi, but she outright refused, citing exhaustion as her reason.

Shen Xing nearly exploded with frustration over this, as the opportunity was too good to pass up.

But Shen Xing was helpless, as Li Jiaqi was at odds with the company over issues regarding her self-produced drama.

Outside the stadium, Meng Meixuan and the others also exuded youthful energy as they walked along the tree-lined paths.

The segments were filmed in several separate parts, and the final sequence involved passing by sponsor cars outside the venue.

When they opened the doors, all 11 of them crowded together, wearing exaggerated expressions.

Lu Bingbing and her group immediately recognized who had arrived, their gazes filled with envy, defiance, or an unabashed curiosity directed toward their favorite "sister."

Among them, Lv Fangxin stood out the most.

Today, she wore a black-and-red checkered top paired with matching innerwear, her smooth shoulders exposed, stealing everyone’s attention.

Ye Yuwei similarly drew complex looks from the girls; she had become someone they could only look up to not long ago.

Over the past six months, Natural Girl had skyrocketed in popularity.

Ye Yuwei had access to resources they couldn’t even dream of.

"Ah! Bingbing!" Wu Zixuan was the first to greet her old friend.

"Bingbing-sis, long time no see." Ye Yuwei ran over and hugged her tightly.

"I’ve missed you so much!" Lu Bingbing reciprocated warmly, putting on a sisterly display of affection.

Life truly is like a play; it all depends on acting!

"Hello, everyone! I’m so excited; now we can have some real fun together."

Ye Yuwei’s smile blossomed like a flower as she enthusiastically greeted her former groupmates.

Meng Meixuan also wore a cheerful expression, though a hint of disdain flickered in the depths of her eyes.

Among the Natural Girl members, Lai Ruoxuan and Jiang Mengqi seemed genuinely warm.

Especially Jiang Mengqi, who knew Lu Pingping and Ma Xiaohui well.

Jiang Mengqi had a great personality and was friendly to everyone.

However, after the initial exchange, the rest smiled politely before focusing on their forms, ignoring the Galaxy members entirely.

Yu Qingjia and the rest didn’t mind too much; they assumed that the unfamiliarity stemmed from it being a first meeting.

Besides, they were hoping to get closer to these girls.

From their perspective, being fellow girl groups ought to bring shared experiences and mutual understanding.

In reality, these girls might be clever, but their life experience still lacked depth.

Many of them still thought like college students, stuck in a phase of semi-socialization.

Meng Meixuan and Wu Zixuan, however, were entirely different.

For them, the strict hierarchical systems of semi-island entertainment left them instinctively looking down on their less successful peers.

Lv Fangxin might appear innocent, but she was both knowledgeable and calculating.

Her starting point had been exceptionally high, mingling regularly with big names in the industry.

In front of cameras vs. behind them, it’s like night and day—with no camera, these people would shun anyone irrelevant.

Subtly, she too had little interest in engaging with those stuck in obscurity.

Duan Yuxin and others shared similar sentiments.

Though they weren’t famous individually, their group catered to first-rate sponsors, treated like elites.

Staff regularly instilled within them the need to carry themselves like stars.

"Can we pray to Sister Dragon?"

"We want to ask Sister Dragon to grant us a wish."

"It will definitely come true."

Xu Mengchen and several others surprisingly mimicked netizens, praying to Sister Dragon.

The other Natural Girl members stifled laughs and unanimously moved to another spot.

Having just finished her form, Lv Fangxin raised her gaze and froze.

She didn’t know whether to stay or leave, ultimately standing there awkwardly.

The cameraman even gave her a big close-up.

Lu Bingbing watched the scene unfold, also visibly uncomfortable, but she understood Xu Mengchen and her group genuinely liked Lv Fangxin.
