Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother-Chapter 2 I’ll Do My Best
Chapter 2 - 2 I'll Do My Best
Bao Cheng turned his head while speaking, and with Bao Shaojin unable to see his facial expression, he gazed at An Yin with eyes almost pleading, mouthing, "Help Keke."
Jiang Keke, Bao Cheng's real girlfriend, was also An Yin's close friend.
In fact, the reason An Yin agreed to play the fake girlfriend of Bao Cheng this time was completely an accident.
Just before Bao Cheng and Jiang Keke were about to leave, Keke suddenly had a stomachache, and thus she desperately pleaded with her good friend An Yin to take her place and meet Bao Shaojin with her boyfriend.
An Yin collected her thoughts and caught Bao Cheng's pleading glance, replying awkwardly, "I want to!"
***
It wasn't until they left the apartment that Bao Cheng realized what had happened.
He never dreamed that Bao Shaojin would agree to his request without any hesitation.
Meanwhile, An Yin's mind was still replaying the scene from earlier.
The man's dark eyes stayed on her for a long time, and a cool, low male voice gently lingered in her ear, "I'll do my best!"
"That was close." Bao Cheng sighed deeply, patting his chest, as if narrowly escaping danger, and at that moment, his phone rang. Without thinking, he answered it, boastfully saying, "Keke, it worked..."
Compared to Bao Cheng's joy, An Yin seemed much more subdued.
Only she knew the powerful impression that man left still lingered...
Her heart was pounding wildly and couldn't calm down.
On the way back to school, Bao Cheng kept talking on the phone with Jiang Keke.
An Yin was not surprised by this.
A delayed realization struck her: the man never introduced himself from beginning to end, so she had wandered around someone else's house without even knowing their name?
Thinking of this, An Yin laughed at herself. The place was a top luxury apartment, and those who lived there were surely either rich or powerful, so how could someone like her ever cross paths with such a distinguished young man again?

Inside the apartment.
Bao Shaojin twirled a glass of wine in his fingers, gently swirling it, the white wine sliding along the edge of the glass, leaving a mark.
The next second, he drank it all in one go, his Adam's apple slightly moving as he swallowed every drop.
Recalling the timid way the girl had called him "brother," Bao Shaojin let out a cold snort.
He paced to the coffee table, picked up his phone, and directly dialed a number.
After two rings, the call connected, and a lazy voice came on, "What a rare guest, Bao Shao is actually calling me personally?" Su Nan joked.
Bao Shaojin sat on the sofa, holding his phone, his gaze gloomy.
"I heard you have a new film starting production?"
Su Nan's heart skipped a beat as he cautiously tested the waters, "Is the sun rising from the west today? You actually started taking an interest in my work. Why, are you planning to enter the film industry?" Su Nan thought Bao Shaojin was always inscrutable, and he always made investments secretly. By the time he made a lot of money, everyone else would only then catch on.
This person is good at scheming! He must be guarded against.
"I have no interest in investing in the entertainment industry." Bao Shaojin's voice was calm.
"..." Su Nan finally let out a sigh of relief.
"I have a relative who wants to audition for the supporting actress role in your new movie." Bao Shaojin frowned, recalling the girl's identity and wanting to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Bao Shaojin helping someone use connections?
On the other end, Su Nan jumped up from the bed, startling the woman sleeping beside him. She couldn't help but mutter, "Jerk, you scared me..." Before she could finish, Su Nan covered her mouth.
Hearing the woman's feeble whimper, Bao Shaojin's face darkened gradually. He always refrained from commenting on Su Nan's private life.
Meanwhile, Su Nan quickly got up, sprinted to the balcony with his phone, glanced at the still-connected call, and exclaimed incredulously, "There's actually a day when Bao Shao would use connections on someone's behalf?"
Bao Shaojin repeatedly emphasized it was for a relative, but Su Nan wasn't stupid.
Hehe...
He seemed to smell a hint of an illicit relationship...
"Give me an answer." Bao Shaojin, impatient with the chatter, cut in.
"This is the first time you've asked for my help, how can I not give you face? But..." Su Nan said with a pause, teasing, "That girl..."
Before Su Nan could finish, Bao Shaojin interrupted him.
"I gave your number to the other side, she'll contact you then."
After this, the call beeped with the dial tone...
"You just assume I'll help, don't you..." Looking at the ended call, Su Nan couldn't help but complain.
Despite his grumbling, he actually started anticipating meeting Bao Shao's so-called "relative"!
Heaven knows, Bao Shaojin is famously unapproachable and impartial. This time he was willing to help, and Su Nan, who had lived most of his life, had never seen it before.
Such anomalies must have a reason behind them!
...
An Yin returned to her dormitory, looking as if she had just escaped a disaster.
Jiang Keke greeted her dear friend with a face full of joy, "Yinyin, I knew there's nothing you can't accomplish."
Jiang Keke's charming figure stood by the door, her shoulder-length hair enhancing her bright and lovely appearance.
An Yin sat down at her desk before she finally felt grounded.
"Weren't you supposed to have a stomachache?" An Yin turned her head to Jiang Keke.
Jiang Keke was momentarily speechless.
She hadn't expected the usually ditzy An Yin to suddenly become so astute; Jiang Keke didn't dare meet her gaze, muttering, "Yinyin, I'm sorry, in fact, I was pretending to be sick earlier." As she spoke the words, Jiang Keke felt a weight lift off her chest.
An Yin looked up, shocked.
"It's all Ah Cheng's fault, he kept telling me how terrifying his cousin was..." Jiang Keke complained with a frightened expression, "So just as we were leaving, I chickened out. But I was also afraid of losing this acting opportunity, so I thought to have you go instead."
Jiang Keke shamefully uttered the last few words.
After saying them, she lowered her head, not daring to look at her friend's expression.
Though An Yin usually seemed soft and easy to bully, Jiang Keke knew all too well that once An Yin got sulky, the consequences were severe.
She could ignore someone for a lifetime!
She was indeed very stubborn!
An Yin's moody eyes scanned Jiang Keke up and down, then after a moment of contemplation, she slowly said, "Don't let it happen again."
"Don't worry, there absolutely won't be a next time!" Jiang Keke swore sincerely.
Just then, An Yin's phone buzzed.
She opened it to find a message from her mother.
[Yinyin, come home early after class, mom made your favorite spicy fish.]
An Yin had been dependent on her mother since childhood. In her memory, there was no trace of her father. As she grew up, she understood that she was a child without a father, and once she was more mature, she never brought up the topic of her father in front of her mother.
She didn't dare to ask, not only for fear of making her mother sad but also for fear that the answer would disappoint her!
An Yin quickly replied with two words, [Okay.]
