Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 257: I Really Like You a Lot, Please

“You mean you’re out of the military already?” Li Beinian furrowed her brows. “You’re so young, why did you do that too?”

Bai Yuan coughed lightly as he explained, “You can’t put it this way. I was groomed by Chief since the very beginning, of course I’ll be with him when he leaves.”

Li Beinian laughed. “So you’ve come to become my bodyguard?”

“Yup. What’s so bad about being a bodyguard? Chief assigned such an important job to me, that means he trusts me.” Bai Yuan spoke confidently. “Others wouldn’t even be able to land themselves this job.”

Li Beinian was stunned. “It’s Mu Xichen who arranged this again?”

Bai Yuan paused.

Seeing Li Beinian’s shocked expression, he gave an awkward grin and went on, “Yup, Chief is rather close to Sheng An’s boss, so he couldn’t assign me a good job anytime. And you happen to be Sheng An’s important artiste, so it makes sense that I’m here to protect you.”

The explanation sounded logical.

Li Beinian nodded and forced herself to accept this.

She sat tight and said, “Let’s go.”

–

“Legend Of The Dragon Pearl” was a high-budget film, so the news conference was packed with people.

The moment she arrived, she caught sight of many people raising boards with Qin Liangzhi’s name on it. “Qin Liangzhi! Qin Liangzhi!”

“My idol!”

“Ah!”

…

Qin Liangzhi had a large and loyal following.

The venue was extremely crowded and the cheers were roaring.

Bai Yuan and Cheng Su cleared the path for her on both sides so she could enter easily.

But some people noticed her and began yelling, “Ah! That’s Li Beinian!”

“Li Beinian’s here?”

“Goddess Beinian, look here!”

Li Beinian felt a little shy from all the attention she was getting.

She turned around and saw a small group of people holding up the word “Nian”.

But the number, compared to Qin Liangzhi’s… was pathetic.

Well, at least she had a few fans of her own.

It lifted her spirits too.

She went forward and said, “Hello.”

There were both guys and girls in the group, and all of them appeared to be students.

One of the guys blushed. “Hello, hello! I really like you!”

“Mm! You’re so beautiful, and your acting is amazing!” Another girl excitedly said as she reached into her bag. “Could I have your autograph?”

Li Beinian smiled and signed for her.

“Ah!” The girl was delirious. “We’re still students and don’t really have the money to get you a huge gift. This is our token for you, please accept it!”

The girl turned around and grabbed a gift box from a guy’s hands. “We hope you like it. I spent a really long time picking this!”

Li Beinian felt warmth in her heart as she sincerely said, “Thank you.”

“Could I have a photograph with you?” The girl looked very expectant as her eyes sparkled. “I really like you, please!”

Li Beinian had never felt so loved and admired by fans before.

She felt all warm and fuzzy. “Of course, I received the bribe, so I’ve got to get things done.”

She waved the gift in her hands and smiled.

The students were very happy to hear her say that. “You’re too nice!”

“Come on, the news conference is starting soon.”

With that, all of them hurriedly squeezed into the frame as Cheng Su snapped a shot of them.

The moment they were done with it, however, they heard: “Goddess Qing!”

“Ah! Li Xueqing, I love you!”
