You were supposed to have a fake marriage with the diva, so how did you become her father?

Chapter 16 Shen Yuege's Suspicion

Seeing that there were still ten minutes left before the end of the workday, Lu Ran wasn't in a hurry to leave. Since that was the case, he might as well sign the contract first.

The longer the night, the more things might go wrong; of course, I'm referring to Shen Yuege, whose life is full of uncertainties.

Lu Ran carefully reviewed the contract and found no problems. Several potentially contentious points were clearly marked, and there were no instances of wordplay in the contract.

Lu Ran neatly signed his name and filled in his bank card number so that the other party could transfer the money later.

I glanced at the time; it was exactly 6 o'clock.

get off work!

What a self-disciplined employee.

A professional with a high level of ideological awareness.

Looking at the people in the department still working enthusiastically, Lu Ran wondered if he was hallucinating.

Why is everyone so passionate about their work? If they all loved working overtime this much, would they have been assigned to the short drama department?

Could it be that the saying goes: there are no useless parts, they're just misplaced?

If you ask me which celebrity said the above quote, I'm sorry, the author made it up on the spot.

However, his colleague's enthusiasm for working overtime did not deter him from leaving get off work.

Go home, open the door.

The room was completely dark.

It seems Shen Yuege didn't come back today.

That makes sense, since when she messaged Lu Ran saying she was coming back, she hadn't yet discovered the song she had submitted to him.

She's probably still busy recording songs right now.

Lu Ran walked into the kitchen, skillfully picked up pots and pans, and began to cook dinner.

After finishing cooking dinner, Lu Ran looked at the empty seats on the dining table and went back to the kitchen.

Since Shen Yuege said she wanted to eat the fried eggs I made when she came back tonight, I'll make one for her whether she comes back or not.

The fried egg turned out great this time; it was a perfectly round sunny-side-up egg with a golden yolk in the center.

Lu Ran carefully placed the fried egg into the plate and then covered it.

Just as Lu Ran was about to start his dinner.

"Click~"

The door opened from the outside.

Shen Yuege, whose face still bore the marks of travel, stood outside the door.

Lu Ran was quite surprised to see Shen Yuege suddenly appear.

Judging from her heavy breathing, it was clear she had rushed back.

She shouldn't be in the recording studio at this time, or even if she has finished recording, shouldn't she be preparing for the new album or dealing with online criticism?

How did she end up here?

Is it simply because she wanted to eat her own fried egg today?

I don't understand, are all celebrities this capricious?

In fact, not only Lu Ran didn't understand, but even Shen Yuege herself didn't understand why she would book a plane ticket back at such a crucial time.

However, her intuition told her that Lu Ran was likely connected to "Tomorrow", or even the same person.

Perhaps he came back just to verify his own guess.

"Oh, you're back? You haven't eaten yet, have you? I just finished cooking, let's eat together." Lu Ran got up to take Shen Yuege's luggage and they went into the house together.

"Thank you for your song!" Shen Yuege said abruptly.

"without..."

"What? What are you thanking me for?" Lu Ran almost blurted out "It's okay" out of habit, but luckily he reacted quickly and changed it to "What?".

But this sudden change of address sounded to Shen Yuege like, "It's nothing! No need to thank me! We're husband and wife!"

This further fueled Shen Yuege's suspicion that Lu Ran was "Tomorrow".

Lu Ran almost gave himself away just now, and at this moment he can only try his best to cover up his embarrassment.

"Hurry up and wash your hands. I've already brought you the chopsticks."

Shen Yuege sat at the table, and Lu Ran lifted the lid covering the plate.

The sunny-side-up eggs on the plate were still steaming hot, looking especially appetizing.

Shen Yuege felt a warmth in her heart.

Even though she herself thought it was just a casual remark, Lu Ran actually remembered it.

The fried eggs this time were much more tender than before, so it seems he remembered what I wrote on the note last time.

As she ate the fried egg, Shen Yuege felt her eyes welling up with tears.

At this moment, she even had the thought that it wouldn't be bad to be with Lu Ran.

Dinner was simple, but it was a very warm and cozy meal.

After dinner, Shen Yuege said goodbye to Lu Ran and returned to her room.

Shen Yuege, who originally planned to come back to verify whether Lu Ran was "Tomorrow", couldn't bring herself to ask the question just now for some reason.

After venting her frustrations while lying in bed hugging the blanket, she opened the Six Cats Novel and found that two more chapters had been updated.

Reading novels every night has now become part of her daily routine.

Just as she finished reading and was about to complain in the reader group that she hadn't had enough, Chen Jing sent her a message.

"Yuege, the electronic contract is signed. As you requested, he will receive 30% of the profits."

"Okay, Sister Jing, please send me a copy of the electronic contract as well."

A short while later, an electronic contract in PDF format was sent over.

Shen Yuege opened the contract and scrolled directly to the bottom.

Where Party B signs, two words are written:

Lu Ran.

Shen Yuege was overjoyed, but she wasn't blinded by happiness.

The name Lu Ran is extremely common in this world.

Just like Zihan, Liu Yang, and Zhang Wei in their previous lives.

Therefore, Shen Yuege did not hastily conclude that this "Lu Ran" was the same as that "Lu Ran".

Thinking of this, Shen Yuege took out a piece of paper from her bag.

If Lu Ran were here, he would definitely notice that this was the note he left when he made breakfast for Shen Yuege a few days ago.

She took out the words on the note and compared them with the signature of the name "Lu Ran".

He couldn't help but frown.

"This is clearly two different people's handwriting!"

Could it be that I've been guessing wrong all along?

Lu Ran reminded himself that the fact that Wanwan Jingting was listening was really just a coincidence?

At this moment, Shen Yuege began to doubt her own conjecture.

The next morning, Shen Yuege set off early to return to her studio, and even left a note for Lu Ran.

Heaven knows that although the two are WeChat friends, they've been writing messages to each other lately.

"I'm leaving, no need to make breakfast today! ~Song!"

After reading Shen Yuege's note, Lu Ran naturally slipped it into his wallet, placing it together with the previous note.

Why do you think Lu Ran kept the note?

Don't you know that celebrities' belongings are very valuable?

Lu Ran remembered that in his previous life, someone spent tens of thousands of yuan to collect a piece of clothing worn by a certain celebrity.

In short, Lu Ran collected Shen Yuege's note not because he liked her, absolutely not.

They absolutely refuse to admit it.

I was still rushing to work on time in the early days, but then I suddenly realized that everyone in my department had already reached their due dates and had already started working long ago.

Wait, is this still the same slacking-off department from the beginning?

I thought you guys were just going through the motions, but I didn't expect you to actually love your jobs. What happened to your original intentions? You've forgotten them all!

My book, "The Return of the God of War," was originally planned to be filmed over six months. What do you mean by acting like you want to finish it in a month?

It seems I've been working too hard and have affected them.
