Godfather of the Queens' Scandals

Chapter 18 Bala Trio, Orange C Returns

Yoon Jin-ah's Super Topic:

[Xiao Yu Qingwan's beauty is no less than the original; that smile melted my heart.]

[The way my brother described masturbation was quite artistic.]

I would call her "Nation's First Love" and "Campus Goddess"

[Finally, someone has noticed Zhen'er! Bala Entertainment's official Weibo account posted about her; she's a very talented trainee.]

[I became a fan of Yoon Jin-ah early on; her Bala Trio is no joke]

[For your information, Bala Entertainment's three top trainees are also known as the Bala Trio: Bala Sweetheart Yoon Jin-ah, Bala Harley Quinn Choi Hyo-eun, and Bala Angel An Seol.]

[The show "Legendary Trainees" is currently in preparation, and the Bala Trio has confirmed their participation. We hope everyone will pay close attention.]

However, everyone's focus quickly shifted from the entertainment section to the legal section.

Haidu News' official Weibo account stated: "Yesterday, after receiving a tip-off from the 'I Am the King of Singers' program team, we immediately launched an investigation. We identified the suspect that very night, and by noon today, we had apprehended him and his gang..."

[So fast? Thumbs up to the official team!]

[We've already said it's not DiYu Entertainment; the haters should apologize.]

[Haha, my cousin works at DiYu Entertainment, and she said the boss who got arrested used to be her superior, and is also a relative of a high-ranking executive at DiYu.]

[Those in the industry know that this PR firm is the go-to agency for DiYu.]

[Haha, now Emperor Entertainment's 100,000 followers have dwindled to only 80,000.]

Yu Qingwan and "I Am a Singer" have made a huge contribution to society. I hate those digital lives.

No wonder no one's criticizing Yu Qingwan today; it turns out Shuijun is being heavily targeted.

The entertainment industry has seen the light of day; at least for today, there are no more thieves.

……

Cafe.

"Sir, your cappuccino."

The waiter placed the coffee on Xu Yuan's table with one hand, turned around and left. After returning to the counter, he took out his phone and continued watching videos. The service attitude was highly correlated with the coffee shop's business situation—it was about to go out of business.

Since the store was almost empty, the sound from his phone was very clear: "In the latest episode of 'I Am a Singer,' Yu Qingwan moved the entire internet to tears with her rendition of 'Later,' winning first place once again..."

Xu Yuan glanced at the cappuccino on the table.

He prefers a coconut latte to a cappuccino, but unfortunately this shop didn't have one.

So who ordered this...? Sensing the change in the light and shadow beside him, Xu Yuan looked up and saw An Xue walking towards him.

The little girl's outfit today is Korean style, a gray dress with a three-piece design.

The gray sweater on top, the black inner layer, and the black skirt on the bottom are all connected; they are the same piece.

The black Doc Martens boots haven't changed.

She remained a quiet and serene forest-style girl, which significantly increased the oxygen content of the entire cafe.

An Xue hesitated, her eyes flickering, as if she had mustered up a great deal of courage, yet she didn't know how to start an awkward conversation.

"Did you order this?" Xu Yuan asked, pointing to the cappuccino.

"Mmm." An Xue put her hands behind her back, a beautiful blush rising on her face. "I, last time... you..."

This is sweet.

After she finished speaking, the blush quickly spread to her snow-white neck.

Sweet?

Xu Yuan realized something and smiled, "It was you, that day at..."

Considering that An Xue might not want that day's events to be brought up again, Xu Yuan shook his head, his unspoken words condensed into four words: "Is it good?"

The question wasn't about the cappuccino in front of me, but about the Orange C Americano from that day.

An Xue nodded: "It's the best coffee I've ever had."

"I'll make you something even better next time I have the chance." Xu Yuan pointed to the seat in front of him. "Want to sit here?"

An Xue nodded, went over and brought her own coffee. After sitting down, she bit her lip, searching her mind for topics to chat about, but felt that nothing she said was quite appropriate.

She began to dislike her own clumsiness.

If it were Hyo-eun or Jin-ah, the scene wouldn't be so awkward, right?

I hate my personality.

"How was Xiao En's trip back last night? You must have been exhausted, right?"

As Xu Yuan spoke, An Xue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded emphatically: "Yes, she threw up several times after she got back. We were worried she would choke, so we stayed up most of the night before we dared to sleep... She also said a lot of drunken ramblings, but it was all in Korean, so we couldn't understand her very well..."

An Xue was unaware that her conversation had become fluent, and she no longer needed to think about topics, atmosphere, or whether it was appropriate to say something.

Every time this boy spoke, she felt relaxed and at ease.

This conversation lasted for two hours.

They talked about their trainee life, their childhood, their daily entertainment, and their future career aspirations.

During this time, Xu Yuan made her an orange C Americano.

"By the way, it's my birthday tomorrow. According to our dorm rules, I'm going to treat everyone to a meal. Are you... free... then?" An Xue realized something was wrong as she spoke, but it was too late to stop.

Her face turned bright red, so red it was almost bleeding!

She grabbed her skirt with both hands and unconsciously rubbed it.

I must have been so confused during the conversation, how could I have sent out such an invitation?

This is only the third time we've met, and we're not even really friends. This is... too presumptuous!

"You're free? What's up? Inviting me to your birthday party?" Xu Yuan knew it would be too difficult for An Xue to say the last four words herself, and it might lead to another tug-of-war, so he simply said it for her.

As expected, An Xue nodded.

While his eyes darted away, he was also secretly glancing at Xu Yuan.

"It's my honor. This is the first time in five years that someone has invited me to a birthday party."

"Oh? Really? You don't look like you don't have any friends. You're so...so...beautiful." Only she could hear the last two words.

"I went to a very far place and only recently came back."

"Oh, abroad? Are you studying or working?"

"I guess you could call it work."

Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, Xu Yuan suggested that they go out for lunch together, and he would treat them.

An Xue was very reserved and refused immediately.

"Tomorrow is your birthday, then your words will carry weight," Xu Yuan said with a smile. "Let's go, grab something to eat. If you won't even give me this much face, then I won't come tomorrow."

When dealing with indecisive people, you need to apply some pressure when you speak to them.

As expected, An Xue did not refuse again.

Ring ring ring.

Xu Yuan's phone rang; it was Jiang Youwei.

"Okay, then you go..." Xu Yuan ended the call.

Seeing An Xue's eager expression that seemed to say, "Maybe I shouldn't go eat, you go ahead and do your thing," Xu Yuan preemptively said, "There will be one more person at dinner later, you don't mind, do you?"

Don't worry, she's very easy to talk to.

He's a big E person, so you don't need to think of topics to discuss.

If you don't want to talk, then don't. Do whatever makes you comfortable.

An Xue tilted her head to look at Xu Yuan, a hint of interest in her eyes, as if asking if it was true.

"Really, I'm not kidding." Xu Yuan made the final decision, pushing open the glass door of the coffee shop. "Let's go."

An Xue walked out of the coffee shop, still somewhat worried, but her steps were unusually cheerful.

She even jumped while going down the stairs.

After realizing what was happening, she quickly turned to look at Xu Yuan. Fortunately, Xu Yuan was closing the door and didn't notice her little trick.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Yuan saw the whole thing reflected in the glass door, and only after An Xue turned around did he follow her.
