The call hadn’t been made yet when a call came in. Zun Zun took a moment from his busy schedule to call him, "Big Boss Sheng, I heard you called me? What’s up, missing your big bro like crazy? Or planning to borrow money from your bro to woo girls? I heard that ever since you paid off that 10 billion, you’re now broke. Need me to help? Helping means you must spend a night with your brother."

"Get lost!" Sheng Sheng leaned against the car, cursing, "Was it you who leaked that I’m the secret boss of Precious Heart Group?"

"Oh, I’m just doing you a favor. You’ve become a boss and still acting all mysterious. Haven’t you seen what’s written online? They say my dear cousin Maimai is being kept by an 80-year-old boss from Precious Heart. Doesn’t that upset you?" Zun Zun always had a sharp tongue: "I feel so sorry I just want to hug my dear Little Maimai and comfort her."

"She wants to terminate the contract now." Sheng Sheng put one hand in his pocket, his tall frame casting a handsome shadow under the street lights: "It’s all because of you, you gossip. I’ve got a good mind to give you a beating."

"Terminating is good, she can directly upgrade to being the boss’s wife!" Zun Zun was having fun in a busy club with a few buddies, taking a bite of an apple, crunching loudly: "Need me to mediate for you and get her straight into your bed?"

"Thanks, if you don’t make things worse for me, I’ll be burning incense in gratitude!" Sheng Sheng said annoyedly, then hung up the phone.

As he lifted his gaze, he saw the villa’s gate had opened, and a handsome man and a beautiful woman walked out hand in hand. He paused for a moment, then slightly curled his lips and willingly opened the car door for his cousins.

"Cousin," Wenqing greeted first, climbing into the car.

This left Maimai and Sheng Sheng standing outside. Wenqing didn’t forget to lock the car door with a snap, very much aware of the situation.

Sheng Sheng chuckled inwardly, catching Maimai’s beautiful ocean-blue eyes, but Maimai averted her gaze, reaching for the car door.

But it wouldn’t open.

That lousy, deadbeat Wenqing actually locked the door on them.

"Sit in the front," Sheng Sheng opened the passenger door with a playful smile.

Maimai, holding her small bag, with a reluctant look, still ended up sitting in the passenger seat.

As Sheng Sheng drove, it was all Wenqing chatting with him, while Maimai remained silent, engrossed in playing on her phone.

The car finally stopped in front of a rather secluded private restaurant, frequented by people of status. Maimai and Wenqing didn’t bother with masks or sunglasses, not afraid of being photographed, and confidently walked into a private room with Sheng Sheng.

"Maimai, what would you like to eat?" Sheng Sheng pushed the menu towards Maimai, continuing his casual chat with Wenqing about his latest audition. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"How did it go?"

"I was supposed to have dinner with the director tonight, but it seems it’ll be settled in two or three days. I should absolutely be the male lead." Wenqing was very confident about the role he had lined up, and the director seemed satisfied during the audition, so there wasn’t much suspense.

Moreover, since it was a role selected by Precious Heart, it was even less likely for him to be rejected. Wenqing thought about thanking his cousin, but then figured it would seem too formal, so he said nothing and leaned over to look at the menu with Maimai, picking a couple of things he liked.

"Godfather, what do you want to eat?" Maimai smiled cheekily, glancing at Sheng Sheng.
