As he neared Jinling University, Lin Xiao called Pei Yanzi. He planned to take her to the entertainment company.

Pei Yanzi answered almost instantly.

"Brother Lin, why are you calling me?" Her voice came through the phone, tinged with pleasant surprise.

Lin Xiao smiled and asked, "Are you busy?"

"I just got out of class, so I'm free!"

"If you're not busy, I'll take you somewhere."

"Where are we going?" Pei Yanzi asked curiously.

Lin Xiao chuckled. "You'll know when we get there."

"Then… where should I meet you?"

"I'm almost at your university."

"I'll head out now then!" Pei Yanzi said cheerfully.

"Alright, come on out."

They hung up. Lin Xiao then made another call, this time to Su Qingning.

"Honey, what are you up to?"

"Swimming with Jing Zhe and Mei'er," Su Qingning replied.

Swimming? Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, and he was suddenly hit with a pang of regret for coming to get Pei Yanzi. If I hadn't come for her and just went straight home… wouldn't I have been able to see Su Qingning in a swimsuit?

"Honey, can you send me a picture?" he asked with a sly grin.

"Hmph, in your dreams!"

"After all, I'm ugly, remember?"

Su Qingning chuckled, amused. She was opening up more and more, her once-icy personality melting away to reveal a playful side.

Of course, Lin Xiao loved to see this change. This is how a person should be.

Listening to Su Qingning's bell-like laughter, Lin Xiao felt an increasing urge to go home.

"When will you be back?" she asked.

"What, you miss me already?"

"A little," Su Qingning admitted frankly.

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat. It was a wonderful feeling to be missed.

"I miss you too, honey. I'll be home as soon as I'm done with my errand!"

"Okay, I get it. You go handle your business. I can't talk anymore, they're splashing me. I have to fight back."

"Go get 'em! Wipe the floor with them!" Lin Xiao joked.

"Mhm, I'll try my best!"

They hung up reluctantly.

Lin Xiao had just pulled up to the university entrance when a girl in a white dress stepped out of the gate—it was Pei Yanzi. One had to admit, she was truly striking. Though it was just a simple white dress, on her it had an ethereal, almost otherworldly quality. She looked pure and refined. Her appearance immediately drew the eyes of nearly everyone at the entrance. It couldn't be helped; a beauty like her was always the center of attention.

Lin Xiao rolled down the window and waved. Pei Yanzi offered a small smile and trotted lightly toward his car, the hem of her dress fluttering. Brimming with youthful energy, she was a captivating sight.

Pei Yanzi thoughtfully climbed into the back seat.

"Brother Lin, where are you taking me?" she asked curiously.

Lin Xiao smiled. "You'll know when we get there."

With that, Lin Xiao started the car.

"How have you been lately?" he asked with a smile.

"Pretty good!"

"Still want to get into the entertainment industry?"

Pei Yanzi nodded.

"Okay, got it."

"Brother Lin, are you taking me to meet an agent or something?"

This girl really is smart.

Lin Xiao smiled. "Not necessarily."

"Oh, okay then."

A flicker of disappointment crossed Pei Yanzi's beautiful eyes. Lin Xiao saw it but simply smiled without saying anything.

Soon, they arrived at Myth Corporation.

"Brother Lin, why did you bring me here?" Pei Yanzi asked, her curiosity piqued.

Lin Xiao smiled. "You'll know in a minute."

Just as the two of them got out of the car, a dignified, elegantly dressed middle-aged woman hurried over to greet them.

"You must be Lin Xiao, Mr. Lin?" she asked respectfully.

Lin Xiao nodded. "And you are?"

"Oh, my name is Liu Meiqin. Mr. Xiao arranged for me to wait for you here."

"Alright, let's head up and talk."

Liu Meiqin nodded, her gaze lingering on Pei Yanzi. She looked the girl up and down before offering a small smile, but she said nothing.

The group entered Myth Corporation. Liu Meiqin led them straight to the seventeenth floor.

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they were met with the bold words "Myth Entertainment." The moment she saw them, Pei Yanzi finally understood why Lin Xiao had brought her here, and her heart began to race with excitement.

They followed Liu Meiqin into an office, and someone brought them coffee after they sat down.

"Mr. Lin, is this the young lady who wants to join the entertainment industry?" Liu Meiqin asked, looking at Pei Yanzi.

Lin Xiao nodded. "Yes, that's her."

Liu Meiqin smiled. "Please, introduce yourself."

Pei Yanzi stood up and said with poise, "Hello, Sister Liu. My name is Pei Yanzi. I'm a junior at Jinling University, and I'm twenty-one years old."

Liu Meiqin nodded, looking quite satisfied. "To be frank, you're very beautiful. Even in the entertainment industry, which is crowded with beauties, you're exceptionally striking. You have a great figure, too."

Lin Xiao laughed. "Sister Liu, I'll leave her to you then!"

"No, no, Mr. Lin. Please, just call me Meiqin," Liu Meiqin said quickly.

Xiao Shixiong had called her just a short while ago and specifically instructed her to be exceptionally respectful to Lin Xiao. The fact that Xiao Shixiong would give such an order was more than enough to prove that Lin Xiao was no ordinary person. As a veteran who had navigated the entertainment industry for many years, Liu Meiqin knew exactly what posture to adopt in front of him.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "I'll stick with Sister Liu. Yanzi is my sister, and… how do I put this… she's very important to me. I'm entrusting her to you now, so I hope you'll do your best to help her. Oh, right. I know the entertainment industry is a messy place. I hope you can protect her. If any problems arise, just call me or Xiao Shixiong directly."

He had made himself very clear.

Liu Meiqin had initially assumed Pei Yanzi was Lin Xiao's girlfriend. Why else would he open an entire entertainment company just for her? She never imagined that the girl was simply his sister. But regardless of their relationship, now that Lin Xiao had laid out his expectations, Liu Meiqin knew exactly what she needed to do.

"Mr. Lin, you can rest assured. I will guide Yanzi and protect her. The industry is indeed messy, but that has nothing to do with us."

Lin Xiao smiled. "With you saying that, I can rest easy."

"Mr. Lin, should we aim to make our company a major player?" Liu Meiqin asked.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, should we sign other artists? I just got back from Shengjing, and I have quite a few contacts in the industry. Combined with the power of Myth Corporation, if we really commit, we can definitely build the top entertainment company in the country, or even the world!"

Lin Xiao chuckled. "That's for you to decide. I won't get involved. You have full authority."

Liu Meiqin nodded. "Then, Mr. Lin, may I ask a favor?"

"What is it?"

"Besides Yanzi, there's actually one other person I'd like to sign."

"Who?"

"Su Qingning. I've always believed that if she were to enter the entertainment industry, she'd be an absolute sensation!"

Lin Xiao laughed. "I'm afraid that's not possible."

"Why not?"

"She's going to take over Myth Corporation in the future."

Liu Meiqin gasped, staring at Lin Xiao as if she'd been turned to stone.

Lin Xiao smiled. "Oh, I forgot to mention. She's my wife."

Liu Meiqin was dumbfounded. Completely and utterly dumbfounded.
