"Mmm..." Su Yuan hummed in response, picking up the only complimentary glass of water on the table and taking a sip. "You know, this line of work is actually quite difficult to survive in. If you can get past the mental hurdle and accept the cross-dressing setup, you might be able to seize this opportunity and climb up the ladder."

Although Liu Hao remained silent while listening to these words, his expression clearly showed extreme unwillingness and dissatisfaction.

Knowing that he had spoken nonsense, Su Yuan covered his lips with a turtleneck and pointed to the plate in front of him, saying, "Go ahead and eat..."

"Got it!" Upon hearing these words, Liu Haoyan immediately responded, and took a large piece of cake, putting it into his mouth. As he savored it a few times, it seemed as if he was venting his little thoughts in his heart.

Communicating with children is indeed... a real challenge.

Quietly sighing, Su Yuan took out his phone. He scrolled through the daily news to see if there was anything new. He particularly enjoyed reading entertainment news, primarily because it was his profession, but also because he could keep up with the recent actions of the celebrities and models he knew, to see if they had gotten themselves into any trouble they shouldn't have.

Should I describe it as coldness or self-centeredness? Su Yuan generally chooses to keep a distance from those small celebrities with a dark past. This is also an indispensable factor that contributes to his current high status.

"Uncle..."

Summoned suddenly, Su Yuan raised his gaze from his phone and stared at the young boy across from him, who seemed to be lost in thought. He formed a faint smirk at the corner of his mouth and asked, "What's the matter?"

Liu Haoyan blinked his big eyes and solemnly bit the spoon, "Can I stay at your house tonight? My air conditioner broke and it's both cold and hot at my place!"

Almost choked on saliva, Su Yuan took a moment to recover before widening his eyes, slightly incredulous, as he cleared his throat softly, "Kid, we've known each other for less than half a month. Do you think it's appropriate for you to stay at my place?"

"But it's so boring staying at home... and it's cold at night and hot during the day," Lǐu Hào Yán pouted with a hint of arrogance, raising her small chin. She glanced around, as if recalling something unpleasant, and continued, "Uncle, let me tell you something! The window in my house faces the sun! Every morning, it wakes me up with its heat! And another thing..."

Listening to his rambling for a long time, Su Yuan felt like his head was about to explode from the barrage of words.

"So, can you let me stay for two days?" Finally, after rummaging through everything that had been going wrong recently, Liu Haoyan appeared relieved. He blinked his big eyes and puffed out his cheeks, saying, "It just so happens that I have classes these few days, so we can go together in the morning."

You look so confident... Su Yuan couldn't help but mumble in his mind. Helpless, he rolled his eyes and propped up his chin with his hand, asking, "Can't you let someone fix it?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Hao's expression instantly became awkward. His shining eyes were fixated on Su Yuan's profile. "If you don't want to, just say it! I can go out and book a hotel! Why bother with useless things?"

"Not...," she was interrupted again, Su Yuan furrowed her brows and took a deep breath, "I don't have a guest room at home. Moreover, I'm afraid you wouldn't be comfortable staying at my place all of a sudden. I also have a cat at home--"

"Cat?!"

The person in front suddenly exclaimed, not only startling Su Yuan, but even the people around them. Feeling a strange gaze that sent shivers down their spine, Su Yuan hurriedly lowered their head and reached out to grab Liua Hao Yan's arm by the table, "Keep your voice down... This is at least a high-class place."

Whenever Su Yuan thought about the price of that cake, a cold chill would run down his spine.

"Do you have a cat at home?" Liu Haoyan asked with an excited expression, his face flushing. "I love cats! I want to go!"

This little bastard changes his attitude faster than flipping through a book...

Su Yuan squinted his eyes, and his gaze unconsciously drifted towards Liu Haoyan's face.

His big eyes, paired with long lashes, made him look like a doll. His small face had a rosy hue, and his chubby lips formed a perfect curve, inexplicably exuding a healing power.

Her heart softened once again, and Su Yuan slowly pursed her lips, lowering her eyelashes.

Sigh... It's just helpless against something so adorable.
