Chapter 166: Chapter 145: The Secretary Job is Just Around the Corner

Han Wenwen took the hair dryer and walked over to Lin Zhengran. She wasn’t tall enough, so she had to stand on her tiptoes, tilting her head back to dry the hair on his forehead.

But this was exactly what Han Wenwen wanted. This way, she could rest one hand on Lin Zhengran’s chest.

Her slender, pale palm gently touched Lin Zhengran’s chest. The firm muscles and the sensation made Han Wenwen’s heart race. Biting her lip, she felt immensely satisfied that her little ploy had worked.

But since she still had to dry his hair, she had to force herself to dedicate at least some of her focus to the task.

Lin Zhengran noticed how tense she was, looking as though she were fighting an internal battle.

"Aren’t you tired standing on your tiptoes like that?"

Han Wenwen shook her head slightly. "Not tired~ How could serving Zhengran be tiring? Wenwen was born to serve you."

Lin Zhengran had no idea where this Little Fox had learned all these outrageous, seductive lines.

A minute later, Han Wenwen tried to dry the top of Lin Zhengran’s head, but this time, even standing on her tiptoes wasn’t enough.

She grinned awkwardly. "It’s not that I’m tired, but you’re too tall. I can’t reach, and my arms aren’t long enough. How about you go to the bed, Zhengran? I have an outlet by my bed we can use."

Lin Zhengran held out his hand for the hair dryer. "Let me just do it myself. If we go to the bed, the loose hair will all fall on it, and that’ll be a pain to clean up."

But Han Wenwen had no intention of handing it over, hugging the hair dryer to her chest instead.

"No~ So what if a few strands of hair fall on the bed? I’d be happy to have something of Zhengran’s on my bed. I’ll sleep more soundly at night."

"Do you hear how crazy you sound when you say that?"

Han Wenwen tilted her head and bit her lower lip, her foxy eyes brimming with seduction. "It’s all because I like you~ Wenwen doesn’t mind anything that belongs to Zhengran~"

In the end, the battlefield shifted to the bed.

They had come back early, so it was only a little after two in the afternoon.

It was bright outside. Being a Saturday, they could hear the sounds of children roughhousing, dogs barking, and cats meowing from downstairs in the complex.

Lin Zhengran sat on the bed, leaning against the duvet, while Han Wenwen plugged in the hair dryer and knelt beside him to start on his hair.

This was much easier.

Her hand rested sometimes on Lin Zhengran’s shoulder, and other times on his chest.

The WHIR of the hair dryer turned the damp strands smooth and dry.

Lin Zhengran also happened to notice the stockings on this Little Fox’s legs.

The way they clung tightly to the curves of her skin was quite interesting. It was a bit early in the day for them, perhaps, but he hadn’t gotten a good look before. Now that he was observing her, he realized they really suited this Little Fox.

It was as if they were designed just for her.

The ever-perceptive Han Wenwen naturally noticed his gaze. As she dried his hair, she commented softly, "Zhengran, you’re so naughty~ Staring at my legs like that. Are they really that nice to look at?"

Lin Zhengran shot back, "Aren’t you doing the same thing? Why are you always staring at my torso? Is it really that nice to look at?"

Han Wenwen was speechless. She shot Lin Zhengran an embarrassed glance, huffed, and resumed drying his hair. "How could you say that about a girl, Zhengran? You make me sound so improper. Where was I looking... I wasn’t looking. At least, not right now."

She fixed her gaze on the top of Lin Zhengran’s head.

Lin Zhengran glanced down at her hand, which was resting on his stomach.

"So you’ve stopped looking and moved on to touching, is that it? Tell me, why do you need to have your hand on my stomach to dry my hair?"

This time, Han Wenwen dropped the act entirely. Her hand caressed the muscles of his stomach as she scrambled for an excuse. "What do you mean, touching? I’m bracing myself. I need to hold onto something while I do this, right?"

Lin Zhengran moved her hand away, and she immediately grew flustered.

Lin Zhengran said, "Then hold on to the duvet behind you, or my shoulder. Just stop touching me."

"No! I don’t want to~ I like holding on to your stomach! And what do you mean, ’stop touching you’? Zhengran is mine, so I’ll touch him if I want to!"

Han Wenwen snatched her hand back and placed it on Lin Zhengran’s stomach again. "Besides, everyone’s constitution is different. My constitution is just suited to holding onto Zhengran’s stomach."

Tired of bickering with her, Lin Zhengran took out his phone and saw a message from Jiang Jingshi.

Jiang Jingshi: "The paperwork is almost all settled. The last two items are about to be approved. But next week, Zhengran, you’ll need to find some time to come over and sign things. A few documents require both of our signatures."

Lin Zhengran replied, "Got it, Jiang. I’ll come over next week. Thanks for all your hard work."

Jiang Jingshi: "It’s no hard work, just paperwork. By the way, I just remembered—the ’Little Nova List’ rankings are coming out soon. Does Jiang Xueli have her own video channel? We could ride the wave of popularity and set one up. It should generate a good amount of income for her."

Lin Zhengran: "I’ve mentioned the idea of videos to her before. I’ll bring it up with her again next week."

Jiang Jingshi: "Okay. Well, I have to get back to work. Call me if anything comes up, Zhengran."

"Got it, Jiang."

As Lin Zhengran put his phone away, he found Han Wenwen leaning forward with her chin on his shoulder, staring at the screen. She hadn’t seen the whole conversation, only glancing the last couple of lines. Her curiosity was piqued. "Jiang?"

Han Wenwen stared at Lin Zhengran and asked, "Who’s Jiang, Zhengran?"

Lin Zhengran turned to look at Han Wenwen staring fixedly at him. The hair dryer was still WHIRRING.

The Little Fox’s eyes, however, were filled with the suspicion, wariness, and jealousy of someone catching a cheating partner.

Lin Zhengran answered, "Didn’t I tell you before? I know a woman, an older-sister type. You even smelled her scent on me last time. We’ve recently partnered up to do a little business and are just getting the paperwork sorted."

"Business?!" Han Wenwen switched off the hair dryer and sat up on her knees beside Lin Zhengran, completely surprised. "You’re starting a business now, Zhengran? What kind of business? Are you selling something?"

"No. You know how I’ve been cultivating Jiang Xueli’s and He Qing’s respective talents all these years? But back then, they were young and needed a platform to enter competitions, so they had to join other studios. I feel the time is about right. I can’t let them keep relying on other platforms, so I started a company with Jiang."

"Mmm~ I don’t totally get it... So, you’ve already made a lot of money, Zhengran?"

Lin Zhengran replied, "The paperwork isn’t even done yet, so how could I have made any money? Maybe later."

Han Wenwen blinked and beamed. "Of course you’ll make money. Wenwen always knew Zhengran would be amazing. I just never thought you’d be starting a company while you’re still in high school! I feel like Wenwen’s dream of being your secretary will come true before I know it!"

She raised an arm. "Long live Zhengran!"

Then she added, "Oh, right. Do you need any money right now, Zhengran? If you don’t have any, how about Wenwen gives you some? I’ve got a few tens of thousands on hand."

"No, it’s fine. You keep it for your own spending." Seeing her eager face, as if she was desperate to help, Lin Zhengran added, "If a day comes when I really need money, I’ll ask you then."

Only then did the Little Fox brighten up.

"Okay. In any case, Wenwen and Zhengran rise and fall together! If Zhengran opens a company, Wenwen will become a capable and... *willing* secretary. If Zhengran has to beg on the streets, Wenwen will be right beside you, holding your bowl. In short, wherever Zhengran goes, Wenwen will follow. Whatever Zhengran does, Wenwen will support you unconditionally."

Lin Zhengran sensed a logical flaw in her statement, but he simply patted the Little Fox’s head and asked curiously,

"What if I do something bad?"

Without a moment’s hesitation, Han Wenwen answered decisively,

"Then Wenwen will do bad things too. It’s not like Wenwen was ever a good girl to begin with. I’m Zhengran’s Little Fox. My loyalty is to you, not to what’s right or wrong."

Given Han Wenwen’s personality, she wasn’t joking. What this Little Fox would become in the future depended entirely on the man she was infatuated with.

Lin Zhengran was, of course, aware of this. He cupped her face in his hand. "Don’t worry. Things will only get better, not worse."

Han Wenwen’s eyes lit up with delight. "Oh, right, Zhengran! Where is your company? Can you take Wenwen to see it when you have time?"

"Mhm, I’ll take you for a look when I get the chance."

Han Wenwen hugged Lin Zhengran’s neck. Just when the topic seemed to be over, another message suddenly popped up on Lin Zhengran’s phone.

It was from Jiang Jingshi again.

It contained two pictures, each of a different pair of earrings.

Jiang Jingshi: "Zhengran, which of these two pairs of earrings do you think looks better? Or should I just buy both?"

At that moment, both Han Wenwen and Lin Zhengran were looking at the phone.

Han Wenwen blinked her foxy eyes.

Her expression immediately soured with jealousy, and she puffed out her cheeks in a pout.
