Or is it.

That she got pregnant after returning from Japan?

That's too strong, isn't it.

You have to admit.

Men's sense of time is actually quite sharp, it's hard to fool them easily in this matter.

"I have a friend who's dating a female star."

I have a friend...

Why does that sound so familiar?

Luo Peng looked at Jiang Chen in a strange way.

"What kind of look is that, forget it, let's not talk about it."

After being roommates under one roof for four years, Boss Jiang's strategy worked successfully.

"You know what, I know it's your friend, not you."

Jiang Chen ignored him, while dipping lamb and saying, "They were originally just dating normally, you should understand, right?"

Luo Peng immediately nodded.

"Everything was fine at first, but recently that female star suddenly told him she went to the hospital for a pregnancy test."

A masterful lie is always wrapped around a core of truth.

Luo Peng pondered, "So your friend's family didn't agree, and then the female star ran off with the ball?"

Given the current status of our good mate, the people he associates with are certainly not ordinary, so Luo Peng's direction of thought is quite reasonable.

Such scenarios are indeed common in reality, seen frequently.

"How much does the female star want? I feel this matter is simple, as a man, providing some compensation is appropriate."

Luo Peng completely adapted the scenario in his mind's plot.

Even playboys have their own tiers.

You can curse Master Luo as a Casanova, but you can't say he is a scumbag, at least he has principles and a bottom line.

"She doesn't want money."

"Doesn't want money?"

Luo Peng frowned, "Then this matter might be much harder to deal with, not seeking money means that female star has a much greater ambition."

Jiang Chen laughed, "Can you not be so materialistic, she's a star, she lacks nothing."

"So which means her status is quite high?"

Luo Peng showed a knowing look, then gossiped with interest, "Who is it?"

"She told me because she trusts me, how could I spread someone's privacy everywhere."

Having aligned values is indeed important, Luo Peng nodded, suppressing his budding curiosity.

"If that's the case, if it's not about money, then it can only be for the person."

"For the person?"

Jiang Chen looked at the once-teaching-inclined Master Luo.

In terms of experience in this area, Luo Peng definitely has far more than him; during school days, he often shared related ideas and knowledge with them.

Just like Pei Yunxi and her father both unconsciously treated him as a "confession" object.

In this situation, Jiang Chen thought of Luo Peng first; besides him, there was no more suitable choice.

Indeed.

No matter who, no matter what social status, there will be moments of confusion and doubt.

"Yeah, she can completely support herself, fulfill her own material needs, not eager to marry into wealth, then it can only mean she really likes your friend."

Not just now, actually Luo Peng never doubted the existence of love.

Sure, he's a seasoned wanderer, but he never mocked love, his past harsh words towards Ai Qian were merely hatred towards those who taint love.

"By the way, your friend isn't some forty or fifty-year-old uncle, right?"

Luo Peng teased.

Jiang Chen was distracted, replaying Luo Peng's words in his mind.

Because of love?

Isn't that... absurd?

Pei Yunxi entrusted herself to him, wasn't it because of a great favor, with no means to repay?

Hmm, just a typical "give oneself in return."

Jiang Chen always thought so, never interpreting it as "love," but—

Wait.

Pei Yunxi is the second target in his strategy, he was able to proceed smoothly because he achieved a Favorability Rating of ninety with her.

Just like Li Shuru.

Li Shuru loves him.

That is indisputable.

Then could Pei Yunxi, who also exceeded a Favorability Rating of ninety, feel the same?

Everyone expresses love differently.

Also, identities, personalities, experiences, environments vary greatly.

"Hey, what are you thinking?"

Jiang Chen returned to his senses, suppressing his inner turbulence, and naturally said, "He told me they were together because he had significantly helped her career, and she wanted to repay the favor."

Luo Peng laughed, leaning back, "Then what about me and Xia Wanqing? Surely Xia Wanqing partly wants to repay me, but does that relate to whether she'd fall in love with me or not?"

"Kindness and love aren't conflicting magnetic poles. They can coexist and mutually exist."

Jiang Chen fixedly looked at him, then slowly raised his wine glass.

"Learned a lesson."

It wasn't Luo Peng's first time lecturing, but Boss Jiang's heartfelt acknowledgment was a first.

Luo Peng found it unobtrusive, joined in for a sip.

"Actually, if it were just about money, it would be easier to resolve, but if it involves emotions, that complicates things. The best way for your friend now is to have a heartfelt talk with that female star, discuss honestly, otherwise, if she actually gives birth to the child..."

Luo Peng shook his head, looking troubled, only to hear: "Who told you she's pregnant."

"Not pregnant?"

Luo Peng was caught off guard, "Didn't you just say..."

"I just said she did a pregnancy test."

"Really? You should've said earlier, wasted so much of my breath."

Luo Peng laughed and cursed.

"Not wasted, what you said was very reasonable."

Jiang Chen consoled.

With bros, sometimes you need to coax them like you do with women, Luo Peng was pleased and picked up some food with chopsticks.

"Just relay what I said to your friend, he should know what to do."

Speaking, Master Luo continued, "From my personal standpoint, I think social compatibility isn't important at all, as long as the character is upright, at worst, she could quit the entertainment circle later."

"Social compatibility isn't just important to the superior side."

Jiang Chen looked down eating.

Luo Peng looked at him puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"That female star's family is quite traditional, they didn't support her entering the entertainment industry from the start, and hope she could have an ordinary and easy life."

Luo Peng was silent, finding it novel.

"Such parents are quite rare, so this male star must have a good upbringing."

He began to feel curious about who it was, but seeing Jiang Chen still unwilling to disclose, he refrained from probing.

"The current situation is, that female star asked my friend to resolve her father."

Jiang Chen lowered his head while eating and said.

"Resolve? What do you mean?"

"If people knew, they'd come ask me. What do you think is the psychology behind this?"

With this level of performance and control, Boss Jiang is already qualified to teach at the Star Creation Training Camp.

Luo Peng pondered, holding his chopsticks without moving for a long time.

Jiang Chen didn't rush him, quietly dipping into the hot pot.

"Based on the information you aligned with me, a preliminary analysis shows that the female star indeed has feelings for your friend, even if your friend has been overwhelmingly kind to her, and her family upbringing is too good, knowing how to be grateful, she surely intends to repay."

Luo Peng began thinking aloud, "But her family is rather traditional, so they wouldn't want her to aspire and endure hardship, unsurprisingly, that female star's family probably doesn't even know about their relationship."

Jiang Chen immediately nodded, "Absolutely correct."

What a dutiful accomplice.

Luo Peng was unperturbed, continued calmly analyzing, "It can be hidden for a time, but not forever, even if they can keep the family in the dark now, over time, there'll be slip-ups, no matter how well they manage secrets, a traditional family will always focus on their daughter's romantic future."

Jiang Chen subtly furrowed his brows.

"What's your judgment then?"

"Personally, I think the female star wants to maintain her relationship with your friend for now, as for the future, she doesn't wish to think about or have the ability to decide. So before the future unfolds, she hopes to have a clear conscience, while feeling the pressure from her family, uncertain of what to do, she hopes your friend can handle it for her."

Finally finishing his analysis, Luo Peng looked up, "How do you feel about my analysis?"

Jiang Chen's face was calm, picking up a plastic wine glass.

"Cheers."
