"Our relationship has always been good!" Zhang Xinlan glared at him. "If it hadn't been for you, would those unpleasant things have happened? But we've already reconciled now."

"Okay." Ye Chen accepted the reality, after all, a harmonious family celebration, filled with happiness and contentment, had always been his dream.

"Liu Shihua has become a deity." Zhang Xinlan suddenly interjected.

"What do you mean?" Ye Chen did not understand.

"That little fairy has started writing books, and she's become a deity with just one book, rising to fame in the online literature circles!" Zhang Xinlan said.

"Liu Shihua, she's writing books?" Ye Chen said, finding it hard to believe.

Liu Shihua is the national goddess, the most popular female entertainer, the focus of the entertainment industry

However, being strong in one aspect doesn't mean being strong in all; Liu Shihua's cultivation is definitely not flattering.

But Liu Shihua, completely ignorant in literature, dared to write a book and even became a deity with it?

"Don't look down on people. Liu Shihua is called the most talented author. During these few months of rest, she's earned millions from writing!" Zhang Xinlan said.

"This can't be possible, can it?" Ye Chen was still amazed.

"Why can't it be? Her novel's rights have even been sold to Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan. You can find her book in any bookstore. However, her books are very hard to get; if you don't pre-order, you simply can't buy them!" Zhang Xinlan said.

"Uh, what has she written about?" Ye Chen asked subconsciously.

"My Melodramatic Love Story." Zhang Xinlan said.

"That's a unique title!" Ye Chen said.

"The content is even more unique!" Zhang Xinlan scoffed.

"What do you mean, she didn't write about me, did she?" Ye Chen exclaimed in shock.

"Not just you, even me, and Su Binglan were written into it!" Zhang Xinlan said, her irritation evident. "Liu Shihua fabricates wildly in her book. She wrote that you were experiencing naive first love, and Su Binglan and I meddled in it. Then she fiercely protected her love with lots of melodrama and low intelligence stuff. But despite that, it's been embraced, with both critics and fans chasing after her, making her a deity in the online lit world!"

"..." Ye Chen was thoroughly bewildered.

"The book written by Liu Shihua is incredibly popular. She even purposefully revealed her identity and hired a horde of internet trolls to post on major forums. Her career as a writer is nearly overtaking her performing arts career!"

"So how much money did she make?" Ye Chen asked curiously.

"An insane amount!" Zhang Xinlan stated seriously. "There's a film company that wanted to adapt her novel into a movie and offered ten million for the rights, but Liu Shihua turned it down."

"The person's head must have been kicked by a donkey—ten million for novel rights?" Ye Chen exclaimed in shock.

"You don't understand the value of this novel!" Zhang Xinlan analyzed. "Liu Shihua is an entertainment diva, with fans all across Asia and even some influence internationally. Now that she has become a deity in the literary world, possessing countless loyal book fans, do you know how well-known her novel is?"

"The rights to Liu Shihua's novel are worth at least fifteen million!"

Ye Chen was completely disoriented.

"I advised Liu Shihua to hold onto the rights until our film company opens, then directly adapt it into a movie and venture into the big screen!" Zhang Xinlan said.

"Okay, I'll just focus on being the pretty face living off a woman at home." Ye Chen said.

"Get lost!" Zhang Xinlan retorted.

"Where have you been these days, where did these treasures come from? You weren't out there robbing, were you?" Zhang Xinlan brought up the question she most wanted to know.

"I went to a magical place, and all these treasures were hard earned through blood and sweat, absolutely not from any shady source!" Ye Chen said.

"Then you better confess everything to me quickly!" Zhang Xinlan demanded.

Like Su Binglan, Zhang Xinlan loved Ye Chen deeply and did not want him to hide anything from her.

"Dong, dong."

Just as Zhang Xinlan was questioning Ye Chen, the room door went "bang bang," disturbing their private world.

"Ye Chen, are you in there?"

"Su Binglan, open the door for me already, didn't you say Ye Chen was back?"

"It's Li Yan, open the door quickly!"

Li Yan kept pounding on the door, and after a series of relentless knocks, her hand began to hurt.

"Huh!" The door opened, and Li Yan was instantly thrilled, but she quickly froze.

"What do you want!" Zhang Xinlan looked coldly at the female anchor.

"Zhang Xinlan, what are you doing here…" Li Yan said, surprised.

"Where Ye Chen is, there I am," Zhang Xinlan suddenly smiled. "Li Yan, what brings you here?"

"Ye Chen's film company was just about to open, wasn't it? I came to talk to him about signing the contract," Li Yan said uneasily.

Zhang Xinlan is Ye Chen's official girlfriend, which considerably weakened Li Yan's position.

"I'm the company's CEO, you can just talk to me about anything. There's no need to find Ye Chen, he is very busy," Zhang Xinlan said.

"That doesn't seem quite right," Li Yan said with an awkward smile.

"Are you looking for Ye Chen because you want him to take advantage of you?" Zhang Xinlan looked at the anchor. "Or is it that he has already taken advantage of you?"

"Zhang Xinlan, what are you talking about, I can't understand a thing," Li Yan said faintly, determined not to give anything away.

"Li Yan, is there any point in acting like this?" Zhang Xinlan said.

"…" Li Yan's face stiffened.

"Ye Chen is waiting for you in the room, go find him," Zhang Xinlan said. "But don't take too long…"

"We, we really didn't do anything, at most just held hands, don't misunderstand…"

Zhang Xinlan's words stirred Li Yan's emotions, what did "don't take too long" mean? She and Ye Chen were purely innocent, having done nothing more than holding hands.

Finally, Zhang Xinlan left coolly, heading to the living room to wait for Ye Chen and, incidentally, to find Su Binglan for a fight.

Zhang Xinlan, like Su Binglan, had also received empowerment of True Qi and stepped into the path of martial arts.

"Ye Chen, in the future when you go on adventures, just let me know in advance, or else I will worry a lot."

In the room, Li Yan poured her heart out to Ye Chen, on the verge of tears.

"How did you know I went on an adventure?" Ye Chen asked in surprise.

"Lin Ying told me," Li Yan said.

"Lin Ying is back? She isn't hurt, is she?" Ye Chen was alarmed, remembering the icy beauty.

Lin Ying had also gone to the powerful hermit's cave, and Ye Chen hadn't encountered her inside, worrying that she might have met with disaster.

However, the majestic dragon had arrived without showing any abnormalities, which eased Ye Chen's mind, leading him to believe that Lin Ying was safe and sound.

Lin Ying was a beloved disciple of the dragon, and if she had encountered any trouble, Yun Zheyue would have been furiously alarmed.

Since Yun Zheyue had not said anything, it implied that Lin Ying was safe. However, what puzzled Ye Chen was why Lin Ying, present in the cave, had never shown herself?

"Lin Ying is safe and sound; she had a fortunate encounter and has been in seclusion in a wondrous place all this time, which is why she never met up with you," Li Yan said.

"Why didn't she come with you?" Ye Chen said, somewhat puzzled, as Lin Ying's prolonged absence made him uneasy.
