My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady

Jian Dan: [Smiling] A master at managing husbands, impressive, truly impressive.

I really didn’t know how to respond to that; Zhao Linlin was already pinned down beneath Lin Ye. Lin Ye smiled and asked, "Reply to the message, or go to sleep?"

Zhao Linlin sensed the danger lurking deep in his eyes, cupping his face with her hands, "Just a moment, let me reply this once, then we’ll go to sleep."

"Alright."

Zhao Linlin: Okay then, if you have time, contact me. I’m going to rest now. You’ve been at it for so long, you should get some sleep too.

Though Jian Dan was not prone to overthinking, she understood the unspoken; Zhao Linlin was definitely not in a convenient position to message her back, and she got the hint.

Jian Dan: Alright, goodbye.

...

The academic exchange talked about was really a cultural clash, the other party invited them to a welcome meeting at a certain hotel in Fengcheng, in a suite so massive it was hard to believe.

There were five attendees, two more than Jian Dan’s group. Seeing Jian Dan enter with the professor, everyone was a bit surprised. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The professor explained that because Jian Dan is Chinese, she was brought along. This way, they could save on needing a translator.

Moreover, Jian Dan had a good understanding of the national culture, making it easier to guide them through the historical and cultural heritage.

Fengcheng was an archaeological city with a rich history. Many things could be found in museums and explained there, and the team leader from Fengcheng University expressed understanding.

He brought two men and two women, reportedly his students, to gain some worldly experience.

Jian Dan obediently followed the professor, strictly acting as a translator. A male student from the other side kept glancing at Jian Dan, his gaze complicated, contemplating her.

Jian Dan wasn’t pleased, and once the professor engaged in conversation with the others, she turned to her senior brother.

A blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner, just like her, here as an exchange student, rumored to be the professor’s nephew and thus given the opportunity to learn and exchange here.

Dale squinted, leaning closer to Jian Dan, "That guy’s gaze is nauseating."

Surprised that she herself hadn’t said anything, yet Dale noticed, she nodded, "Yeah, it’s uncomfortable to watch."

Dale instinctively wanted to shield Jian Dan, but just then, the professor called out to Jian Dan, "Jian Dan, the other professor said there are documents we need in the car in the parking lot, could you go with his student to get them, would you?"

Jian Dan couldn’t refuse. Dale volunteered, "Professor, if anything happens here, Jian Dan is needed for translation. I’ll go."

Don’t think he didn’t notice, that lecherous look from the guy at Jian Dan just as he rose from his seat.

The man’s expression did shift dramatically, and the girl student beside him stood up, expressionless, looking at Dale, "Alright then, I’ll go with you."

Dale nodded, "Thanks for your assistance."

After Dale left, the conversation here became livelier. Since research topics were the same, there were valuable opportunities for mutual exchange, seen as incredibly precious.

The professors were deeply engaged in conversation, and the two students alongside them occasionally passed Jian Dan polite glances. Without the earlier sneaky-eyed student, Jian Dan found it wasn’t unbearable here.

Listening in occasionally, she even found it enriching.

After all, both professors were quite knowledgeable individuals.

Dale went downstairs with the two, but hadn’t returned. Jian Dan whispered something in the professor’s ear, the professor nodded, and Jian Dan got up to leave.

She initially wanted to check on Dale, but upon stepping out, she saw Dale and the others coming around the corner, and she stepped back, hiding in another corner.

Since Dale was alright, there was no need to look for him, so she decided to get some fresh air outside.

With that thought, Jian Dan walked towards the viewpoint, brushing past two women and suddenly overheard Bo Qin’s name.

"I wonder if Pei Rong will succeed. After spending so much time luring Bo Qin over here, now there are so many traps set, will Bo Qin fall into the trap?"

The voice was indistinguishable, yet Jian Dan’s heart skipped a beat.

Was it the Bo Qin she knew?

Perking her ears again, she heard someone else speaking.

"Who knows, Pei Rong fell in love at first sight, likes him immensely; with Fengcheng’s situation, it’s not like you’re unaware of it;

The Pei Family has immense control. This time, I reckon Pei Rong’s going to take the position of Young Madam Bo."

"No way, sleeping with someone makes you Young Madam Bo?"

The person sneered, "Once you sleep with a girl from the Pei Family, given how troublesome they are, you definitely have to take responsibility, don’t you know what the Pei Family’s like?"
