Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

“It’s simple, Qianshu’s fame is big enough, and the influence of the jewelry show is significant as well. He has succeeded in putting you in a difficult situation and managed to advertise their products extensively at the same time. What a pity it would be to miss this opportunity to publicize in the country. However, he never thought that he would receive the short end of the stick and get pulled down by his stupid teammate.”

Shen Qianshu said, “It isn’t hard to guess that Bailey was trying to publicize their products for free at my expense. He just never thought that Megan would plagiarize. His own smartness turned him against himself.”

Chen Wanwan said, “I don’t care about his lawsuit. In fact, he helped us publicize for free and increased our popularity. Your personal brand effect also received a huge boost. Who knows, perhaps we can hold a jewelry show overseas in the future.”

Shen Qianshu laughed widely, and the three high-fived each other, harboring immense optimism and hope for their future.

Li Chen stood from afar, and no one could tell if he was looking at Yun An or Shen Qianshu. His gaze was bland, and the lighting beside him diffused a sense of silence and iciness.

The eyes that were like water seemed to conceal countless thoughts.

Gu Fifth Brother did not like the noise and was scared every time he saw someone. Despite the fact that he rarely ventured out of home and how no one would recognize him even if he was an internationally-acclaimed comic artist, he still attracted quite some attention beside Gu Fourth Brother.

Many wished to greet him.

Li Chen reached out his hand and stopped someone, saying blandly, “Sorry, I have something to discuss with him.”

After seeing that the person was Li Chen, the few people left politely. Gu Fifth Brother let out a sigh, and his face became flushed. He was so nervous that his forehead was filled with droplets of sweat, and his breathing became a bit labored. It was a feat for him to even manage coming here.

“Are you alright?” asked Li Chen, looking at him worryingly. Yet, he did not touch him.

It was torture for someone with social anxiety to interact with others. It would cause irregular heartbeat, nervousness, cold sweat, and fear to break out. Li Chen retreated half a step consciously, and Fifth Brother felt his breathing become smoother and was very grateful.

“I’m fine, thank you.” He was about to retrieve his handkerchief nervously to wipe his sweat away but was unable to find it anywhere. Li Chen took out a clean, white handkerchief and passed it to him.

“No… Thank you!” His fingertips shivered slightly, not daring to engage in bodily interactions with others. After receiving the handkerchief, he wiped his sweat gently.

This person was so thoughtful.

And polite.

Fifth Brother could not help but look at him a few more times.

Suddenly, he paused and widened his eyes.

Li Chen asked, “What’s wrong?”

Fifth Brother shook his head in confusion, and his face flushed. “Have I… seen you somewhere before?”

Li Chen said, “I’m AG’s designer and have held many jewelry shows before. I appeared on magazine covers a few times too. You may have come across me in some magazine before.”

“Oh… you look a bit familiar.”

Li Chen smiled slightly, and his cold expression suddenly became lively.

Yun An had been constantly looking at Li Chen. Although he was discussing legal matters with Shen Qianshu and Chen Wanwan, his gaze was attracted by Li Chen and Gu Fifth Brother. They were not standing near each other.

However, they seemed very close.

Li Chen was very careful about his personal belongings and would not give them to others easily. He had extreme OCD and disliked others touching his items even more. His cautious actions outside always made him feel that he was some secret agent who acted very carefully.

Tonight, however, he treated a stranger like they were very close.

Yun An could not help but look towards Gu Fifth Brother. He was tall, handsome, and a little shy, giving off a desire to protect him to others. Yun An seemed to have been accidentally stung by a bee.

His fingers withdrew into a fist.
