Became a vicious male mother

"What do you mean?" Lu Yinian tightened the muscles on his face, drank some soy milk, and started gnawing on a large steamed bun, finishing the fist-sized meat bun in no time.

After several chokings, Lu Yinian coughed incessantly.

How do you write the phrase "self-inflicted affection"? Here's a blatant tutorial!

"Eat slowly, I was just talking nonsense." Gu Xinglan quickly asked the manager for a glass of warm water and handed it to him.

His question was also a test.

Lu Yinian's expression already gave the answer... He'll move out today, Gu Xinglan thought.

"Don't even think about moving out!"

The moment Lu Yinian took the warm water, he said...

"We'll see when the time comes. If the villa calls, I'll have to rush back even if it's the middle of the night." Gu Xinglan scratched her face.

"Then I'll take you there. I have a car, I can drive you directly there."

By the time we finished breakfast, the sun was already high in the sky.

Lu Yinian's face was covered in sweat, and he looked tired and listless, but his words carried an undeniable air of authority.

"If you leave without saying goodbye, I will search the ground three feet deep to find you."

-

After seeing Lu Yinian off at the high-speed rail station, the other party grabbed him and said a bunch of harsh words before leaving. Gu Xinglan was in a daze, his whole body was covered in sweat, so he found a coffee shop to cool off.

System: [Host, the second hidden plot has progressed by 0.5%, currently at 7%.]

That means the original owner knew Lu Yinian's little scheme.

System: [Host, he practically wears his feelings on his sleeve, didn't you know?]

"Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly." Gu Xinglan carefully reviewed the way the two of them interacted in her mind... It was perfectly normal.

If the other party has fallen, can the blame be placed solely on him?

He had lived like this in his past life; which close friend would covet his body?

"Hello, here is your coffee."

The coffee has a subtle sweet wine aroma; the blend of wine and coffee is a new item that the waiter highly recommends.

Gu Xinglan didn't intend to drink and was about to pick up her phone to ask Song Zhengsi.

The lifeline displayed in her mind was still healthy, proving that Yu Yue was not in any immediate danger. As for the status indicator, it showed the word "excited," but no one knew what was making her excited.

Could it be that Li Taihe wants to go back to the villa?

Before the message could be sent, a person wearing a mask walked up to him and stood in front of him.

The sunlight reflected clearly the pleading look in the person's eyes as they sat by the window, gesturing towards the coffee on the table.

"Hello, is this your Irish Breve Latte?"

The small label on the coffee cup handle did indeed bear this name, Gu Xinglan nodded.

"Can I have this cup? I'll pay you double."

The coffee shop is located near the high-speed rail station, and office workers always need something to perk them up on their way to work.

"This is a new product. The sweet wine was popular online for a while and sold out quickly. Please wait another hour, and we'll have some more." A waiter who came over tried to persuade the man to leave.

"No need, just give it to me at the original price."

He came in to cool off in the air conditioning and relax, and now it's time for him to leave.

As Gu Xinglan was getting up, a hand suddenly pressed down on her shoulder.

There was a faint scent of men's cologne mixed with the smell of disinfectant.

When the assistant saw his boss come in, he quickly gave him a meaningful look.

There are many people and a lot of fans nearby. If we are discovered, it will definitely cause unnecessary negative impact, and then we will have to do public relations and run around.

But Pei Xiao simply waved his hand, sat down in the chair opposite him, and said to the waiter next to him, "A black tea latte, please."

The waiter was so charmed by the clear and melodious voice. Her pronunciation was exceptionally clear, giving the impression that the coffee shop had turned into a movie. He nodded quickly and ran to the front desk.

Now there were only the two of them in the seats.

Pei Xiao casually picked up the latte opposite her, pulled down her mask, and took two sips.

"Have you had breakfast?" Gu Xinglan asked.

"No."

"Don't drink cold drinks on an empty stomach, it's bad for your stomach."

Hearing Gu Xinglan's reminder, Pei Xiao slightly curled the corners of her lips, rested her chin on her hand on the table, and looked at the person opposite her. "You? Care about me?"

"Ah."

He would have said the same thing to anyone else.

"Alright, I'm in a good mood, so I'll reward you and forgive part of your debt," Pei Xiao said with a smile.

Gu Xinglan rubbed her fingertips together, then hesitated and asked, "How much do I owe you?"

"The list is almost ready. You can decide what to do with it."

As Gu Xinglan's gaze passed over, Pei Xiao had already turned her eyes to the window.

“After thinking it over, I felt that it would be too heartless to ask you to return the money directly, since it was something I gave you before.”

The spoon gently clinked against the rim of the cup, and he added, "How about... you come to my studio, we'll have a revenue-sharing contract. If you do a good job, you'll earn more, and it can even help pay off your debts. That way, I won't be acting against my conscience."

The Pei Xiao standing before him at this moment was not an actor on the silver screen, but a businessman reeking of money.

"How about it?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have no plans to re-enter this industry."

Gu Xinglan remained expressionless, but her eyes held a firm resolve. "This is a choice I made after careful consideration."

"Your choice? Do you even have a choice?"

Pei Xiao's voice carried a hint of coldness as his fingers began to tap lightly on the table, the rhythm slow yet imposing.

Her voice carried a hint of sarcasm, yet was extremely gentle as she said, "Gu Xinglan, you owe me more than just money; you also owe me a favor. Do you think you can simply wipe that away with a simple 'I don't plan to re-enter the industry'?"

"Don't forget, in this matter, it was me who chose you, not you who chose me, understand?"

"Then tell me, what favor do you have?" Gu Xinglan remained silent for a moment, then calmly met Pei Xiao's gaze.

What favor did the original owner owe...?

Pei Xiao's face darkened. "You really have no shame."

After speaking, he slightly raised his phone, just enough for Gu Xinglan to see.

A short video, only a few dozen seconds long, was filmed six years ago.

The person inside looked very young, dressed in designer clothes, crawling on the ground. His face was slightly blurry and hard to see clearly, but you could still vaguely recognize that it was him.

To be precise, it was the original owner.

Gu Xinglan's face felt hot. The more she watched the video, the stranger it seemed. She could only suppress her instincts and force herself to finish watching it.

Soon he heard sounds coming from inside.

[Brother Pei, do I look like I climbed well?] The blurry audio in the video ended with two barks, a sound he knew all too well, which had completely turned Gu Xinglan's face red.

[No, I told you, you have no acting skills.]

[Why doesn't it look like him, Brother Pei? Tell me, what doesn't look like him?] A coquettish voice came from the video, and you could already see Pei Xiao slowly stroking the protagonist's chin with his hand. The room looked like a hotel [...]

"Stop, stop right now!" Gu Xinglan couldn't bear to watch, her ten toes curled up in a ball, trying to grab Pei Xiao's phone.

But Pei Xiao was somewhat surprised, "Your reaction...you really forgot?"

"I forgot! I forgot a long time ago! How could I still remember these things... How do you still have these videos? I forgot a long time ago, how could I remember them after all these years?" Gu Xinglan kept repeating herself, becoming less and less confident as she spoke, and her head drooped lower and lower.

The electronic voice in my head started broadcasting news about the second hidden plot development.

Doesn't this prove that those videos are from the original owner's past? Original owner! You are utterly immoral! Absurd!

Gu Xinglan stared blankly into space.

"Don't blame yourself." Seeing the utterly dejected look on the other person's face, Pei Xiao calmly put away her phone. "There are many people in this industry who are even more shameless than you."
