CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 403 - 395: Shooting the Cover

Inside the Lincoln car

Lv Fangxin’s face was flushed, and under the dim light, she resembled a budding rose, enticing and captivating.

Chen Yinghan gazed at her with a tender look, filled with the softness of summer honey.

Lv Fangxin wasn’t completely drunk; her head felt foggy, but her consciousness remained clear. In her haze, she felt her friend’s gaze resembled how one looks at their beloved ragdoll cat at home.

She didn’t particularly like this kind of gaze. She was the resolute Lv Fangxin—she didn’t need anyone’s pity.

"Yinghan, I’ll be a superstar in the future."

"You will. But for now, you need to rest properly."

Chen Yinghan’s voice was steady, gentle, with a faint undertone of coaxing.

"I’m serious. I want to win awards, and I want to buy a big house."

"Haha! However big a house you want, I’ll gift it to you."

"No, I’ll buy it myself."

Chen Yinghan couldn’t help but reach out and gently smooth down her friend’s messy hair as she spoke.

Her thoughts wandered to why she had entered this industry in the first place.

Initially, it was just for fun, but she had unexpectedly gained some fame.

And later, she stayed in the circle for the sake of the person in front of her.

She looked at Lv Fangxin, her flushed little face glowing, her eyes clear like limpid pools of water.

She had always guarded herself against anyone approaching her, but only in front of this girl could she shed all her defenses.

Lv Fangxin suddenly tilted her head up, her voice soft and kitten-like, "I feel uncomfortable."

"We’re almost home. I’ve had someone prepare hangover soup."

"Hmm? Isn’t it rice porridge? Sister Yezi, don’t you always cook rice porridge for me?"

At this moment, Lv Fangxin was acting coquettishly.

This was the second time today Chen Yinghan had heard that name. Her face turned frosty, and she grasped Lv Fangxin’s hand harder, her eyes sharp like a blade in the shadows.

"Ye Yuwei, it seems like you’re the most important one to Fangxin, huh!"

At the villa

Ye Yuwei frowned as she put down the phone.

"Fangxin still isn’t answering?" Zhang Zijing’s bright eyes revealed her displeasure.

Ye Yuwei nodded.

Earlier, the company suddenly issued a notice requiring them to attend a music festival opening ceremony tomorrow.

Lv Fangxin had said she wanted to stroll around and clear her mind when she left.

The assistant wasn’t allowed to follow her, and now she was nowhere to be found.

Her assistant was panicking but didn’t dare inform the company, so they called Ye Yuwei.

"Where on earth could that girl have run off to? Her not picking up the phone is making me anxious," Zhang Zijing said, her mind conjuring up all sorts of troubling scenarios.

She knew she was scaring herself, but their circumstances were different now.

"Xiao Jing, call Chen Yinghan."

"What? I don’t have her number!"

Zhang Zijing understood Ye Yuwei was trying to avoid suspicion by having her call, but she wasn’t acquainted with Chen Yinghan.

"Ask Fu Xiaoyu; she should have it!"

Five minutes later

"Ugh! She’s really at her place. She drank too much, and Yinghan’s helping her sober up with a hot bath!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Ye Yuwei listened as her eyes dimmed: "Tell the assistant then!"

Lv Fangxin still didn’t know. Having drunk the hangover soup and taken medicine, she had sobered up and was now clinging to Chen Yinghan.

Watching her carefree demeanor, Chen Yinghan couldn’t bring herself to scold her friend.

"Aren’t you going to rest? What are you messing around for?"

"It’s nothing. I feel like having some fruit now. Hmm?"

"What kind do you like? I’ll ask Auntie to get it for you, but you have to sleep after eating, okay?"

Lv Fangxin tilted her head and thought for a moment: "I like big cherries the most."

"Cherries!" Chen Yinghan laughed.

"But I’ll eat whatever is available. I’m not picky."

Lv Fangxin suddenly remembered it wasn’t cherry season.

"If you want cherries, I’ll have Auntie go buy them for you."

"Hmm!"

Lv Fangxin didn’t refuse; she liked feeling spoiled.

"Then let’s not soak in the hot bath anymore. Let’s head out!"

Chen Yinghan took her friend’s hand. The orange fragments of light from the wall reflected on her cheap dress, making the girl’s youthful features glow with first-love charm.

"Yinghan, do you ever regret being best friends with me?"

"Of course not. We’ll always be together."

"Yinghan, sometimes I feel as if there’s a mountain, a river, separating us."

Chen Yinghan’s face turned solemn: "Fangxin, I’ve already given my whole self to you. I keep no secrets from you—you’re the one I trust most."

"Me too. So Yinghan, you must take responsibility for my future."

"Do you remember what I said on the commute to work?"

"...That day, you scared me to death. And what if you were lying to me?"

Chen Yinghan smiled and reached out to pinch her friend’s cheek. Ah, it felt wonderful!

"Now, do you still think I lied to you?"

Lv Fangxin broke free from her friend’s clutches, her red lips curling into a playful pout: "Hmph!"

"Lv Fangxin, listen carefully. What I want is for you to be my best friend."

With that, she cautiously, inch by inch, closed the distance between them.

Their trembling eyelashes fluttered like feathers, and the hearts bearing their friendship burned hot.

"Haha! Yinghan, I must become a girl just like you."

"Elegant, graceful, talented."

"So that when people hear my name, they feel proud."

Lv Fangxin hugged her friend tightly, her bright eyes brimming with joy.

"Fangxin, all I want is for you to keep only me in your mind as your friend."

"I want your eyes to constantly sparkle, dazzling like stars."

"I want to hold your hand through the four seasons, imprinting every moment in our eternal memories, ignoring worldly norms, and drowning in romance."

Chen Yinghan murmured softly, like velvet under the golden sun.

"Yinghan, does your family allow you to have a friend like me?"

"If they don’t, we’ll venture out into the world together. It takes such fate to embrace like we do. Even if the journey is fraught with peril, I’ll face it willingly, knowing the years will make us shine brilliantly."

The night deepened.

The crescent moon hung like a beautiful girl, smiling in intoxication.

The entire world was bathed in a dreamlike silver-gray light.

By afternoon the next day, at a restaurant in Green Land Art Village.

This area was a renowned art center, bustling with photography studios.

Yu Qingjia, Wang Yiran, Zhang Yu, and Xu Mengchen were eating at a table with dishes like Three-Yellow Chicken, stir-fried bamboo shoots, and sweet rice wine soup laid out before them.

At that moment, a person wearing a floral dress, precise makeup, and a wig approached them.

When the group looked more carefully, they saw the pronounced Adam’s apple and rough hands. It turned out to be a man.

"Hello, are you Yu Qingjia?" Fang Xiang extended his hand.

Yu Qingjia was dumbfounded: "Are you the one coordinating with us for the promotional photos?"

Fang Xiang awkwardly pulled his hand back, showing no embarrassment—this kind of situation was clearly familiar to him.

"Yes, I’m here to take you to the shoot."

Wang Yiran glanced at him briefly, feeling resigned.

This assignment was for a fashion mall preparing to launch, requiring promotional photos.

Their company was something else—no cars, no assistants, just sending them out.

In the past, there had been more unbelievably absurd situations. When a popular reality show invited Galaxy’s leading artists, a mistake with airplane tickets occurred.

The assistants couldn’t work out the budget, so they canceled the trip altogether.

Fang Xiang noticed their skepticism and took out his ID card and contract copy for them to verify. Only then did Yu Qingjia and the group trust him.

Leaving the restaurant, they piled into Fang Xiang’s cheap sedan to head to the shoot location.

When they arrived at the comprehensive photo center.

A large group of people holding umbrellas was protecting a few individuals heading into the building.

"Such pomp! So many people around them," Xu Mengchen couldn’t help but envy aloud.

"Protecting them with umbrellas—must be to prevent paparazzi shots." Zhang Yu also showed admiration.

Fang Xiang smiled: "That’s the ’Natural Girl’ group. They’re all the rage now."

Upon hearing this group’s name, the expressions of the four varied.

Zhang Yu and Xu Mengchen even showed hints of awkwardness and jealousy.

Fang Xiang kept talking: "Today’s photoshoot is directed by an Oscar-winning cinematographer. Rumor has it their session is capped at six hours, including travel time."

"Manager Fang, let’s go now!" Yu Qingjia said blandly.

"Oh! My apologies, please, follow me inside." Fang Xiang quickly smiled and led the way.
