410: Acting together

The family of three finished their dinner with satisfaction, paid the bill, and happily walked out of the Seafood Restaurant.

The couple once again held Lin Yining's small hands, and the family of three walked toward the park.

As they walked, Lin Yining said, "Daddy, Mommy, that seafood was so delicious! I can still taste the fragrance in my mouth!"

"I want to eat it again in the future."

"Sweetie, seafood is indeed delicious and fresh, but you can't eat it too often!"

"After eating it once, you have to wait a while before you can have it again."

Lin Zifeng said with a smile.

Lin Yining looked up, very puzzled, and asked, "Why is that, Daddy?"

"Sweetie, seafood is considered a 'cold' food, so you can't eat it every day, otherwise it's bad for your health. So, at most, you can eat it once a week."

Before Lin Zifeng could answer, Chen Yuxi explained patiently.

Although Lin Yining didn't quite understand, she still nodded obediently and said in a milky voice, "Okay! I'll listen to Daddy and Mommy."

The family of three arrived at the park. To make Lin Yining happy, the two of them took her straight to the Children's Entertainment Area.

This corner of the park was specifically prepared for children, featuring not only two large slides but also children's swings, a merry-go-round, and other entertainment facilities.

Several children of various sizes were playing happily here, accompanied by their parents or grandparents.

Upon arriving, Lin Yining's beautiful big eyes lit up. She was eager to try but a bit hesitant to go play.

The couple first took her to the swings and let her sit on one. They pushed her for a while, and Lin Yining's crisp laughter rang out from time to time.

After about ten minutes, with the encouragement and company of the couple, Lin Yining tentatively started playing on the slide.

The high-visual-appeal family of three attracted many gazes, but the two of them were already used to such attention.

The couple accompanied Lin Yining for over an hour before leaving the park and heading home, even though Lin Yining still hadn't had enough.

"Mommy, I want to come play here again. This place is so much fun."

Lin Yining said with an expectant face.

"Alright, baby, Mommy promises you that as long as I can find the time, I'll bring you here to play."

"But now we need to hurry home, shower, and go to sleep. Otherwise, we won't be able to get up tomorrow morning. We must develop good living habits."

"Only then will our baby be healthier and grow up even more beautiful."

Chen Yuxi said very patiently.

"Baby should listen to Mommy and be a cute, beautiful, and good girl."

Lin Zifeng chimed in.

Lin Yining nodded obediently and said very readily, "I'll listen to Daddy and Mommy and be a well-behaved, obedient, good baby."

The family of three talked all the way home, then took turns showering and went to sleep.

The next morning, the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government and Yanran Entertainment Media Company held a signing ceremony in the Municipal Party Committee conference room. All Members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee were present at the ceremony.

Xu Minghao, as the representative of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, signed the contract with Li Yanran.

After the two signed, they exchanged contracts, shook hands, and looked toward the cameras below the stage together.

Warm applause erupted in the conference room, representing the official conclusion of the cooperation between the two parties.

After the signing ceremony ended, Lin Zifeng looked at Li Yanran in public and invited her, "Chairman Li, why don't you come to my Office for a cup of tea?"

Everyone knew that Lin Zifeng and Li Yanran were friends, so they found it very normal for Lin Zifeng to invite Li Yanran to his Office for tea.

"I hope I won't be interrupting Secretary Lin's work?"

Li Yanran played along very cooperatively.

"Chairman Li is too polite. Receiving an Investor is also one of my important duties. Please, this way!"

"Then I shall trouble Secretary Lin."

Only then did the two leave the conference room together and, accompanied by Wang Zhongyu, walk toward Lin Zifeng's Office.

The three entered Lin Zifeng's Office one after another. Wang Zhongyu poured tea for Li Yanran and then withdrew from the Office.

The moment Wang Zhongyu closed the door, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and their way of speaking changed instantly.

"Yanran, your acting is quite good! You almost gave me the illusion that we really are just ordinary friends."

"You're talking about me? Weren't you the same? I thought I'd lost my man!"

As Li Yanran spoke, she shifted her body and leaned against Lin Zifeng, resting her head on his shoulder.

Lin Zifeng placed his hand on Li Yanran's fragrant shoulder and spoke again, "Has Xiao Liang returned to the Capital?"

Li Yanran nodded slightly and said, "Xiao Liang left right after breakfast."

"By the way, Yanran, there's something I want to tell you in advance."

Li Yanran looked up and asked, "What is it? Just tell me!"

"It's like this, Yanran. The Investor for the Eagle Gorge Mouth scenic area—that is, my Older Sister-in-law—will be coming to Yushu City during National Day to inspect the scenic area's operations. At the same time, she wants to take this opportunity to meet you as a fellow Investor."

"After all, once the Film and Television City is built, it will be a neighbor to the Eagle Gorge Mouth scenic area. The two companies will have many opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Lin Zifeng relayed the suggestion proposed by Chen Yuqing.

Hearing Lin Zifeng's words, Li Yanran hesitated for a moment before saying, "It is indeed very necessary to meet. If we can reach a comprehensive cooperation in the future, it will be of great benefit to both of us."

"You can just arrange it as you see fit! You can call me anytime when the time comes."

In fact, Li Yanran also wanted to meet Chen Yuqing. Beyond work, she wanted to see what kind of woman Chen Yuqing was to make Lin Zifeng so enamored with her.

Therefore, Li Yanran was full of anticipation for the meeting with Chen Yuqing.

Seeing Li Yanran's expectant expression, Lin Zifeng smiled and said, "What's wrong, Yanran? From your expression, it looks like you're really looking forward to meeting Yuqing."

"Yuqing? Calling her so intimately? It seems your relationship with this Older Sister-in-law of yours is very close?"

Li Yanran said with a playful expression.

Hearing the hidden meaning in Li Yanran's words, a hint of an unnatural expression appeared on Lin Zifeng's face. He hurriedly tried to explain, but Li Yanran blocked his mouth with her jade-like hand.

"Darling, you don't need to explain to me. There are no secrets between us now, so I shouldn't hide things from you anymore."

After saying this, Li Yanran told Lin Zifeng everything she had overheard at home, without hiding a single detail.

Finally, she said, "Darling, My father didn't intend to investigate you back then. He did it because he wanted to understand your situation better so he could repay you more effectively."

"He didn't expect to uncover some of your unknown private life."

"But don't worry, My father and my Uncle-in-law were afraid these things would affect you, so they've already helped you erase all traces of them."

"I also heard them say that even if these things were exposed, they wouldn't have much of an impact on you."

"I overheard these things by accident, so not only do I know about the relationship between you two, I also know you have another confidante named Jiang Yufei."

"This Jiang Yufei is also your woman, isn't she?"
