CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 340 - 332: Terrifying Illegitimate Child

2:00 AM

Sitting in the business van heading to the airport, Yuwei still felt like she was in a dream.

She never expected to meet Lan Yening in such a setting.

Lan Yening seemed completely different now.

Though the two had seen each other, it was after the show’s recording.

Yuwei and her team were then urged by the showrunners to leave quickly and catch their flight.

So the two didn’t exchange many words.

"Yuwei, did you really work with Lan Yening before?" Meng Meixuan, who was sitting next to her, asked.

"Yes, that restaurant even has a photo of us working there," Yuwei knew this was something she couldn’t hide, so she admitted straightforwardly.

"Wow! Lan Yening really is so gorgeous." Gao Ziyi leaned forward excitedly.

"What’s up, Ziyi? You’ve fallen for him?" Wu Zixuan joined in teasingly.

"Hmph! I was just saying." Gao Ziyi pouted like a spoiled princess.

Zijing leaned quietly against the inner wall of the van, as tranquil as an orchid.

Wang Na glanced around mischievously and chuckled, "Yuwei, did Lan Yening chase after you? He seemed so emotional and affectionate toward you."

Yuwei calmly replied, "With people like us, fans can dig up everything about us, probably more than we even know ourselves. Whatever relationship I have with him, those fans likely already know better than I do."

Yuwei’s words left Wang Na momentarily stunned, and she suddenly thought of a troubling issue—she too had things she didn’t want others to know.

Meng Meixuan fell silent, remembering how some of her own scandals had recently started spreading online.

Zijing smiled and said, "What happened in the past is all behind us. The most important thing now is to face the future."

Her words were clearly meant as a subtle warning to Wang Na not to stir up trouble among them.

Yuwei, understanding her friend’s intention, reached out and gently held her hand.

Lv Fangxin, sitting in the back, felt a pang of loneliness as she thought about Chen Yinghan.

"Yinghan, are you resting now, or waiting for me?"

The business van carrying this group of girls, each lost in their own thoughts, vanished into the boundless night. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Likewise, Lan Yening, sitting in his business van, was filled with complex emotions.

Despite imagining countless times what it would be like to reunite with Yuwei, the actual reunion turned out to be so calm and uneventful.

He could sense a significant change in Yuwei—her aura was more confident now, exuding an intimidating regal vibe that made people hesitant to approach her casually.

He took out his phone, wondering if he should call her.

But he wasn’t sure if the number he had for her was still valid.

After hesitating for a long while, he decided not to call.

Soon, the business van reached the hotel where they were staying.

As soon as he got out of the van, several girls immediately surrounded him. Among them was someone he recognized—his fan-site admin, Su Xiaoya. He hadn’t expected her to follow him here.

Lan Yening had a good impression of Su Xiaoya and smiled at her while waving his hand.

This small gesture made Su Xiaoya overwhelmingly excited; her hand holding the camera began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Xiao Ning, who were you smiling at just now?" Another long-haired girl, who wasn’t bad-looking, suddenly yelled angrily.

Lan Yening’s originally cheerful expression immediately turned cold.

He knew this girl was actually a stalker fan. She had broken into his hotel room twice to rummage through his belongings, taken pictures, and bragged about it in fan-support groups.

Another time, she insisted on meeting him under the guise of giving him a gift. When he refused, she stood outside his hotel room pressing the doorbell nonstop.

"You’re an idol. Is this how you act as an idol?"

"Don’t you care about your career, your fans? Don’t you know how far an idol should keep from their fans?"

"And why do you have double standards? Smiling at pretty girls? Do you know how much money I’ve spent supporting you? Are you kidding me?"

This fan seemed to have lost all control, angrily shouting and chasing after Lan Yening.

A few more proxy photographers and stalker fans joined in, closing in around him.

Lan Yening couldn’t take it anymore. Ignoring his assistant’s attempt to hold him back, he stopped in his tracks and said, "I’m an actor, and I’m also just a person. Is it wrong for me to smile at something beautiful?"

That comment instantly set off a firestorm.

"Wow, you couldn’t hold back because you thought she was good-looking, huh?"

"Are you two secretly involved? Don’t you have any shame?"

The girl completely lost her mind, charging toward Lan Yening like a mad dog.

Su Xiaoya, hearing the insults being hurled at herself, was so enraged that tears started streaming down her face.

But she knew she couldn’t create a conflict now, as it would tarnish Lan Yening’s reputation if the news got out.

She turned to quietly leave but was immediately surrounded by the other stalker fans.

"Su Xiaoya, tell us the truth—what’s your relationship with Xiao Ning?"

"Su Xiaoya, how could you be a main fan-site admin and still pull this kind of shameless stunt?"

"Speak up or we’ll beat you to death right here!"

These fans were acting like maniacs, seemingly ready to resort to violence at any moment.

Lan Yening couldn’t take it anymore. Even though he usually had a mild personality and often tolerated things because he wasn’t that famous yet, tonight felt different—he was furious and determined to intervene, regardless of his assistant’s protests.

Just then, a woman resembling a human tank suddenly dashed out from behind a pillar in the hotel lobby.

"Hey! Who are you crashing into?"

"Ouch!"

In the chaos of people falling in all directions, Xiao Li charged forward and positioned herself protectively in front of Su Xiaoya.

"Who the hell dares lay a hand?"

With glaring eyes, her trembling cheeks, and carrot-like fingers pointing relentlessly, Xiao Li silenced everyone.

"Come on then! So many of you—beat her to death!" The enraged girl continued to shout.

But apart from her screeching, no one else dared make a move.

Lan Yening’s assistant stepped forward and announced, "I’ve already called the police. I advise everyone not to act rashly. Additionally, regarding the slander directed at Xiao Ning earlier, we reserve the right to pursue legal action."

"Fine! Arrest me if you can. Go ahead, call the cops and throw me in jail!"

The assistant ignored her. Engaging with her at the moment wasn’t worthwhile.

Still shaken, Su Xiaoya nervously tugged at Xiao Li’s sleeve, feeling a deep sense of gratitude.

Lan Yening was equally surprised—where had this human tank emerged from?

Seeing that the crowd was no longer attacking or speaking up, Xiao Li glanced toward Lan Yening, noticing his expression of amazement mixed with admiration. Her heart skipped a beat.

But her face betrayed none of her inner thoughts.

In truth, she had come with Su Xiaoya but was too embarrassed by her appearance to show herself. Instead, she had hidden behind the pillar, secretly watching her idol.

It was only when the situation spiraled out of control that she stepped forward to protect Su Xiaoya.

Soon, the police arrived on the scene. After a brief investigation, they offered some warnings before leaving.

Incidents like these were typically handled in this manner.

After all, neither side wanted to escalate things, and there had been no physical harm.

"Xiao Li, thank you—it’s you again who saved me."

"Don’t mention it! Those stalker fans are so disgusting. If you like an idol, just be a proper fan!"

"Let’s hope this doesn’t cause trouble for Xiao Ning."

Su Xiaoya was deeply worried about Lan Yening, concerned that the fan-site admin would retaliate later.

"Don’t worry. Everyone knows she’s a stalker, and there’s footage from tonight. Even if she tries to spread lies, it won’t matter."

Xiao Li seemed to have a level-headed perspective on the matter.

"Xiao Li, rest well. I’m going now."

"Xiao Li, why don’t you stay with me? I’m feeling a bit scared."

"Alright then! I’ll cancel my reservation at the inn I booked."

Xiao Li offered a reassuring smile.

Back in his hotel room, Lan Yening immediately received a call from Zhang Shuya, explaining the situation before taking another call from his agent, Lu Tianxiang.

Both of them reprimanded him for being too impulsive and told him to ignore such incidents in the future and leave directly.

Although Lan Yening apologized and promised not to repeat his actions, his mood remained good.

He found the stalker fan utterly disgusting, nothing but a mindless pest in his view.
