The big star has a prince syndrome

Chapter 171 Dinner Party

In the evening, Ye Yan changed into comfortable home clothes and arrived at the hotel booked by the Chucheng production company on time.

After today's meal, they will basically have no more interactions until the show is broadcast.

Because of Ye Youcheng's illness, he has lost some weight recently. Even a loose shirt cannot hide his thin body, but he is still as delicate as a paper man in a cartoon.

In the corridor on the way to the private room, someone called him. It was Zhou Yun.

When he saw the caller ID, he remembered that he had stood up his last trip back to T City due to special reasons, but Zhou Yun had not contacted him before that.

In other words, he did not ask Zhou Yun out for dinner that day, and Zhou Yun did not take the initiative to ask if he would still come, so the matter was shelved.

"mom."

"Well, Xiaoyan, I heard from your father's relatives that he's sick? Is it serious?"

"...It's serious. It's cancer. That's why I didn't visit you last time I went back. I forgot to tell you, don't think too much about it. It's an emergency. My mind went blank and I don't remember anything."

He still explained to Zhou Yun first. After all, it was he who took the initiative to send a message to Zhou Yun saying that he wanted to have dinner together. In the end, not only did he break the appointment, he also forgot to notify him. This behavior was indeed not good.

Seeing that he was on the phone, the three bodyguards around him immediately turned around to look to ensure that his privacy would not be leaked.

"It's okay. I was wondering why you hadn't called me. I thought you had urgent work and had gone back home, so I didn't bother you. But I never expected your dad to have cancer... Don't worry too much. I heard you found a good hospital for him. As a child, just do your best."

"I know. If you have time, go get a full body checkup. I'll transfer the money to you. Don't lie to me. You must go."

Ye Yan's tone was calm but firm. He just wanted his family to be healthy. It was too late for his father now, but it was not too late for his mother, even if they could not live together or see each other often.

He just wanted to know that his family was still alive and well somewhere, and that there would always be a chance to reunite as long as he wanted. But if that person was no longer in this world, then he would truly become an orphan.

That is a kind of sadness of being isolated from the whole world. He doesn't want to experience it. That kind of feeling cannot be filled by love.

Similarly, love is special to him. There can be no future, but love is necessary. If Xu Qingran no longer loves him, that would be the end of the world.

"Okay, I will definitely go. I have money, you don't have to give it to me. I already feel very sorry for you buying a villa for Yu Hao. It's my fault. Mom promised you that when your brother comes of age, I will reconsider my future..."

Zhou Yun actually considered that matter. Ye Yan was a little surprised, but after the surprise, she was delighted.

He always thought that after people escape from an environment they don't like, they want to live a better life, but Zhou Yun chose to find someone who was even worse than Ye Youcheng.

After all, although Ye Youcheng has a bad temper, Zhou Yun at least dares to argue with him, but in front of Yu Hong she can only suffer humiliation.

People only dare not resist when they are afraid. That was his biological mother, the mother who loved him very much when he was a child. How could she be bullied to the point of losing the courage to resist?

This is the most valuable good news Ye Yan has heard in recent times.

"Okay, call me if you have any problems. I won't let the Yu family go if they dare to be greedy again."

"That's not the case. I won't hurt you for them anymore. You're busy. If there's anything going on with your dad, tell me. If not for him, then for you. I'm worried about you."

"I understand. Remember to go for a physical examination. Goodbye."

"I will definitely go. Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Yan seemed to have finally figured out the meaning of today's dinner. There really was something worth having a drink for, wasn't there?

There weren't too many people at this dinner, just one table was full, with the two male and female leads, and the rest were the director team and producers.

Ye Yan was naturally arranged to sit next to Ji Yunzhi. After greeting and sitting down, Ji Yunzhi immediately took a bowl of sea cucumber porridge and placed it in front of him.

"Your stomach is not in good condition, so warm it up first, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable after drinking."

"Thank you, I can do it myself." Ye Yan said politely.

I wondered what he was doing. Do I look like someone who needs care?

Obviously, he was still a little reserved about Ji Yunzhi's kindness, but he really couldn't drink on an empty stomach anymore. Since the food was already served, he picked up the spoon and started eating without hesitation.

This is the difference between simply having a meal and the Business Bureau, where there is no talk of work and just eating and drinking.

"Yun Zhi is really caring, but why don't you serve a bowl to our heroine as well? There are no paparazzi here and they won't spread rumors about you two, haha~"

Someone started a joke, and the dinner table suddenly became filled with laughter and a very relaxed atmosphere.

"I'm just worried that girls won't eat these carbohydrates to keep their figures. If I make a mistake, she'll glare at me."

"Yes, I don't eat carbohydrates or drink soup at night. Yun Zhi understands us girls too well. Unlike Ye Yan, she doesn't need to control her diet to be so thin."

The heroine cue Ye Yan, who was drinking soup, subconsciously looked up and smiled slightly.

"You don't have to envy me. I have stomach problems and low blood sugar. I'm not healthy at all."

This is not the first or second time that he has been hospitalized due to health reasons, and every time it has been on the news. It is something that everyone knows and there is nothing that cannot be said.

Everyone seemed to be reminded, and the producer took the lead in instructing the waiter to remove the red wine in front of Ye Yan.

"I almost forgot, you have a bad stomach, so you should drink less alcohol. We are all family, so it's okay to replace the wine with tea. How about a cup of fruit tea?"

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lin. Actually, it's okay to have a drink. I'll toast you first, and I won't drink anymore."

As long as the other party doesn't make things difficult for him, Ye Yan still knows how to socialize.

He picked up the glass of red wine that had not been removed, stood up, toasted everyone present, and drank it in one gulp.

For the rest of the time, everyone kept their promise and stopped urging him to drink. He was the only one at the table, drinking fruit tea and savoring delicious food, quietly listening to their lively conversations, and occasionally responding when his name was cueed. He seemed quite relaxed in this situation.

It was unknown how long it had passed, but everyone at the table began to get tipsy, and the gossip became increasingly out of control. Ye Yan didn't dare to say a word, fearing that it would implicate him and he would be unable to explain himself.

"Yun Zhi has been in the industry for so many years and hasn't had a boyfriend, right? I remember there were rumors that you were pursuing Zhu Cheng. Is that true?"

"Oh, are you kidding me? Yun Zhi obviously doesn't like Zhu Cheng's type. If you're just randomly trying to match people up, you better be more careful."

"Boss Lin really understands me. I have so many fans watching over me, how could I dare to fall in love?"

"That's true. Male celebrities' girlfriend fans are no joke. If you dare to date today, you'll be out of fashion tomorrow. But Yun Zhi is almost 30. Don't you think it's a pity not to have a relationship at such a prime time?"

When the producer asked this question, Ji Yunzhi glanced at Ye Yan's profile imperceptibly.

He was eating the honeydew melon from the fruit bowl, which he had cut into very standard equilateral squares, much better than Xu Qingran's knife skills.

"There's nothing to regret. The only regret is not being able to be with the person you love."
