Chapter 134: Do You Still Have Feelings for Him?

Watching the shadow flickering under the crack of the door, it would be a lie to say Su Chen wasn't feeling apprehensive.

However, on second thought, it was broad daylight, the world was bright and clear, and there were surveillance cameras in the hotel hallway. It was unlikely that he would encounter a cliché plot twist involving an assassin.

Therefore, the person standing outside his door was either a paparazzi who had snuck in or someone sent by Xu Fangyuan to spy on his life.

Regardless of who it was, the safest course of action for Su Chen was undoubtedly to stay in his room and go nowhere. As long as he didn't step outside, he wouldn't run into this person, and without contact, there would be no danger. Surely, the person wouldn't dare pick the lock in a busy hotel!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

But even though Su Chen knew that staying inside was the safest choice, he still had to go out!

From last night until now, Su Chen hadn't eaten a single grain of rice. While lying in bed, he hadn't felt much, but now that he stood up, the emptiness in his stomach made him feel dizzy.

To be honest, Su Chen felt like he could eat two cows right now!

However, although Su Chen was starving to the point of wanting to die and was eager to go out for a meal, he didn't rush to open the door and confront the person head-on. Our clever Su Chen instead chose to use the room's landline to call the hotel front desk.

When in doubt, call for backup!

*Dial... dial... dial...*

The phone rang only three times before the front desk picked up.

"Hello, Mr. Su! This is the hotel front desk. How may I assist you?"

The person who answered was a girl with a beautiful voice. Since the front desk kept records of guest names for each room and the internal system displayed the room number of the caller, she addressed Su Chen by his surname without error.

This thoughtful detail and the feeling of being right at home made Su Chen click his tongue in surprise. As expected of a high-end hotel, the experience is different when you pay for it!

However, Su Chen didn't dwell on it for long before remembering the shadow at his door.

Damn! I almost got distracted by this receptionist's attentiveness! No matter how good the service is, what's the point if the security is lacking?

With this in mind, Su Chen immediately and sternly informed the front desk of his situation.

"Hello, how is your hotel's security handled? I've noticed a shadow lingering outside my room, and just a moment ago, I caught them pressing against my door, listening to the movements inside. I feel that my personal safety is under serious threat!"

Su Chen spoke seriously and in a hushed tone, fearing he might scare the person outside the door away.

The girl at the front desk, upon hearing Su Chen's words, immediately took the matter seriously!

She replied, "I'm sorry, Mr. Su. This may be our negligence. I will have hotel security check the situation right away! Please make sure to stay in your room and do not go out. The hotel will handle this matter."

Hearing her words, Su Chen nodded in satisfaction. Very good, very reassuring!

"Alright, I'll leave it to you then. Please get that person to leave quickly; I need to go out for a meal," Su Chen said.

"Understood!"

After hanging up, Su Chen began leisurely scrolling through TikTok, waiting for the security staff to arrive.

I, Su Chen, would rather starve to death in this room than put myself in harm's way!

Meanwhile, in Shanghai, Xu Fangyuan looked at her phone's home screen, unable to suppress her violent temper any longer. She slammed her brand-new phone against the wall with all her might!

"Su Chen!!! Argh!!!"

Xu Fangyuan shrieked, venting the rage in her heart.

Following the company's orders to butter up Su Chen had already been disgusting enough! Not to mention that she had been rebuked by him and couldn't even talk back, and instead had to keep begging him nicely!

Anger, grievance, pain, helplessness... all these emotions churned together, making Xu Fangyuan feel like she was going to cough up blood!

It was only after she had smashed everything in the room that she finally calmed down.

Su Chen still hadn't agreed to drop the lawsuit against Fanxing Entertainment, so the task the company had given her wasn't finished, and she had to continue!

"This Su Chen is truly impervious to both soft and hard tactics. Even bringing up Lin Yanran didn't work... This shouldn't be..."

After thinking it over, Xu Fangyuan could only conclude that Su Chen hadn't seen enough hope yet and was still playing hard to get! Therefore, she made up her mind to go find Lin Yanran and use her to reach out to Su Chen.

Heh, with his goddess right in front of him, she wanted to see what else this "simp" Su Chen could do!

With this in mind, Xu Fangyuan left her room, walked to Lin Yanran's door, and knocked.

"Yanran? Are you in?" Xu Fangyuan said softly.

The room was quiet. It took a long time before the sound of Lin Yanran's footsteps approached.

The next second, the door opened, revealing Lin Yanran in her pajamas.

Currently, Lin Yanran's hair was messy, her dark circles were heavy, and her eyes were dull and lifeless. She looked nothing like the "fairy" described by her vast fanbase! Instead, she looked like a girl suffering from a heartbreak!

Xu Fangyuan was startled by Lin Yanran's appearance and hurriedly asked, "Yanran? What happened to you?"

After opening the door, Lin Yanran walked back into the room and collapsed face-up on the bed.

"Sister Yuan... I feel like my choice might not have been the right one..."

"It's completely different from what I thought. Su Chen has been living much better without me than he did when I was by his side..."

"Sister Yuan, do you think I really gave up on a hidden gem?"

"If I were still with him now, given his current status, surely he would be good enough for me, right?"

A sharp glint flashed in Xu Fangyuan's eyes upon hearing this. In the past, if she had heard Lin Yanran say this, she would have scolded her fiercely and then trashed Su Chen.

But after everything that had just happened, Xu Fangyuan didn't do so. She sat down beside Lin Yanran and said slowly, "Do you still like him?"

Lin Yanran didn't speak.

Xu Fangyuan continued, "Actually, looking back at these past few days, I originally thought your feelings for Su Chen were just a temporary habit of loss. But now it seems that you really do like him."

Hearing this, Lin Yanran felt even worse. What was the point of liking him? She had already lost him because of her own actions! What an outstanding man Su Chen was!

Seeing Lin Yanran in this state, a plan formed in Xu Fangyuan's mind! She had been wondering how to convince Lin Yanran to put in a good word for her, especially since she had always been the one saying Su Chen was disgusting!

Now, the perfect opportunity had arrived!
