The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 1760: Chapter 1760: A Sweet Yet Awkward Morning

The first ray of morning sunlight fell on Jian Dan’s face, she slowly opened her eyes to greet the new day...

Just when she was about to get up, a force pulled her back onto the bed.

"Uncle, it’s already past eight, time to get up!" whispered Jian Dan, tightly held in Chu Liyuan’s arms.

"Eight o’clock is still early, we can sleep a little longer!" Chu Liyuan replied with a slight smile, holding Jian Dan even tighter.

"Aren’t you hungry? We didn’t eat anything last night!"

"Now that you mention it, I am indeed a bit hungry, didn’t eat enough last night!"

"Huh?" Did they eat last night? Clearly, as soon as they got home, he carried her straight to the room!

"I guess I really am getting old, fell asleep just after midnight!"

"Uncle!" It was then Jian Dan understood what Chu Liyuan meant, and her face turned red.

"Seems I need to exercise more from now on."

"Huh?"

Chu Liyuan looked at Jian Dan with a mischievous smile and then covered both of them with the blanket...

...

"You two really can sleep, can’t you? It’s almost ten and you’re just coming down!" the four little ones teased, sitting in the living room after having breakfast, when they saw the two coming down the stairs.

"Isn’t this normal? We’re older, naturally we don’t have as much energy as you youngsters." Chu Liyuan answered casually.

"No energy? I don’t think so!" Kuaikuai said with a knowing look, glancing at the two of them with a hint of deeper meaning.

Jian Dan embarrassingly hid behind Chu Liyuan, feeling like a child caught doing something wrong.

"Jian Jian, aren’t you supposed to go to the film festival today? Hurry and have breakfast!" Chu Liyuan said, pulling Jian Dan’s hand and leading her to the dining room.

"Uncle, you see, it’s all your fault, being caught by the kids like this is really embarrassing!" Jian Dan whispered unhappily to Chu Liyuan during breakfast.

"Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it over time!"

"Huh?" Jian Dan’s face turned red again.

Chu Liyuan smiled and said nothing, placing a bowl of sweet rice wine dumplings in front of Jian Dan, "Don’t overthink it, have your breakfast!"

After breakfast.

"Mom, isn’t the film festival in the afternoon? Why are you leaving so early?" Jian Xiaokai asked as he saw Jian Dan getting ready to head out with Chu Liyuan.

"Huh? I... I am... I, of course, have to go to the company early to prepare! After all, I represent New E Media’s image, I can’t be too casual, right?" Jian Dan replied with a forced smile.

"Well..." Just as Jian Xiaokai was about to say something else.

"It’s getting late, we really need to leave now." Jian Dan said, pushing Chu Liyuan out the door.

The four little ones watched the two of them leave in haste, a smirk tugging at Hong Chun’s lips, eyes glinting with a hint of achieved mischief.

Not long after Jian Dan and the others left, the four little ones also went out...

"Jian Jian, call me after it’s over tonight, I’ll come to pick you up!"

"Okay!"

"Jian..." Qin Rou quickly walked out from the company, "Uncle, today’s film festival is quite important, so I’ll take Jian with me first!" Saying that, she pulled Jian Dan into the company.

"Rou, what are you doing? Is it that urgent?" Qin Rou only let go of Jian Dan’s hand after dragging her to the office.

"Of course it’s urgent, did you forget about our betting agreement with Shangxing Media, so we absolutely cannot lose in any aspect at today’s film festival!

So look, I’ve prepared so many dresses for you, and when the time comes, we must impress everyone!" Qin Rou said, showcasing the three racks full of dresses behind Jian Dan.
