The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Xu Yiyu and Deng Lianen took the escalator down to the basement level of Rongchuangmao and immediately saw the Mengyu storefront in a prominent position.

The vacant shop next to Mengyu was indeed being renovated, and the partition wall between the two entrances had been demolished, revealing an arc-shaped doorway that had not yet had a door installed.

"Mr. Xu, thank you for keeping it a secret for me just now."

The two stood at the entrance of Mengyu for a while. Seeing that there were not many people around, Deng Lianen raised his voice a little.

"I know that not many people may pay attention to me, but just in case, I still have to take the best protective measures."

Deng Lianen flew to Lucheng this time. In order to keep a low profile and not attract attention, he didn't even bring his assistant Xiaosong. He boarded the plane by himself, pushing a suitcase.

Although she didn't know why the crew suddenly stopped work when filming was about to be completed, she chose not to think too much about it. She took advantage of these few days to have a good rest and study the lines and performance methods for the remaining scenes.

"It's okay. Ms. Deng is a public figure, so she has a lot of concerns. It's understandable."

Xu Yiyu would not be so nosy as to interfere with the way others do things. Nowadays, paparazzi in the entertainment industry are omnipresent, and you never know when actors and artists will be photographed. Therefore, even if Deng Lianen is several times more cautious than today, Xu Yiyu thinks it is normal.

"I came back to see Li Zhou quietly this time. I didn't tell him beforehand, and I don't know if he is in the store today."

Deng Lianen and Li Zhou were high school classmates and their hometowns were close to each other. She had been to Mengyu several times when it was first opened, but at that time she was an unknown minor actress and Mengyu did not have the popularity and scale it has today.

Xu Yiyu politely made a "please" gesture to Deng Lianen and smiled, indicating that she should go in first.

Deng Lianen didn't hesitate and pushed the door open before Xu Yiyu and entered the store.

"Welcome to Dream Island, may I ask——"

The customer service representative standing behind the front desk had just finished saying half of her welcome speech when she saw someone walking into the store with a box of pastries, smiling.

The second half of the customer service representative's sentence was instantly stuck in his throat, and then turned into a scream that was not very sharp but full of energy.

"Brother Gail! Come out to meet the guests! Mrs. Benzi and her friends are here!"

Deng Lianen, who was wearing a mask, listened in a daze as the cute customer service girl at the front desk howled loudly into the store. The volume was so loud that she felt the ceiling tremble.

Xu Yiyu had obviously gotten used to the customer service's style and whispered something to Deng Lianen.

"Ms. Deng, you haven't been here for a long time, right? Just get used to it. I came here the same way."

Deng Lianen nodded mechanically, his face still looking a little confused.

She remembered that Mengyu's painting style was not like this when it first opened. Could it be that Li Zhou had actually distorted the painting style of his own employees to this extent?

There was no one resting on the sofa in the hall at this time. Deng Lianen just raised his foot to walk over when he saw a figure like an arrow rushing out from the direction of the employee lounge deep inside the store.

"Welcome, Mr. Sponsor! Hmm? Why isn't Benzi here with you today?"

Li Zhou hurriedly stopped the car not far in front of Xu Yiyu. Seeing that Lu Sanshi did not appear beside Xu Yiyu today, he blurted out this sentence without thinking.

"Pfft! Hahahahahaha, Li Zhou, you didn't recognize me!"

I don’t know which word Li Zhou said made Deng Lianen laugh. After being stunned for a few seconds, she actually burst into laughter. She laughed in front of the confused Li Zhou.

Li Zhou listened to this somewhat familiar voice, frowned, searched his memory bank, and immediately came to a conclusion that shocked him.

Seeing that Brother Gaier's eyes were getting wider and wider, and he seemed to be about to blurt out something outrageous, Xu Yiyu immediately made a "shut up" gesture to him, and then pointed in the direction of the staff lounge.

Li Zhou's mind finally came to his senses at this moment. He nodded to Xu Yiyu and Deng Lianen with a serious face and led them to the staff lounge.

The customer service representative who summoned Brother Gaier from the employee lounge tilted her head and stared at the young lady next to Xu Yiyu for several times, and became extremely curious about her identity.

It was really strange. Apart from Sister Gaier, she had never seen Brother Gaier treat other opposite sex with such caution.

There is a problem, there is definitely a problem!

After leading Xu Yiyu and Deng Lianen into the staff lounge, Xiao K, who was taking a nap in the lounge, stared at his silly boss with a serious face, then looked at Deng Lianen who was sitting on the sofa on the other side. He didn't even notice that his mobile phone had fallen to the ground.

"Hey, Li Zhou, why are you being so secretive? Where's your girlfriend?"

Deng Lianen took off the mask that was covering his face and asked a question as if he was greeting a good friend.

As a know-it-all on Mengyu Island, when Xiao K saw Deng Lianen's face under the mask, he instantly equated this face with a face that had only existed in TV dramas and entertainment news before.

Little K quietly covered his mouth which was opened into an "O" shape, and exchanged glances with Xu Yiyu who was sitting next to Deng Lianen.

Xiao K: Is it the person I think of?

Xu Yiyu: That’s right, it’s the person you were thinking of.

"Sister En, you should be more aware of your identity as an actress! I'm not secretive. Do you think you need to inform all the employees in the store about this?"

Li Zhou sighed and sat down on the small stool opposite Deng Lianen, speaking in a tone that sounded particularly disappointing.

Little K weakly raised his hand and was about to say something when he immediately received a sharp glare from the boss.

"Why are you glaring at me? I remember there are two other people in Mengyu who know who I am. Anyway, I'm not a well-known top traffic star, so there's no need to keep hiding the fact that we're friends from your employees."

Deng Lianen smiled at Xiao K, who was glared at by Li Zhou, without any airs of a celebrity.

"Don't forget who your girlfriend is, Sister En! Your girlfriend's illegitimate fans are so scary, and they are not much different from the craziness of those top illegitimate fans."

Li Zhou hinted to Deng Lianen with a meaningful word, but he didn't expect Deng Lianen to make a face at him nonchalantly and didn't take his words to heart at all.

"I've been on guard against sasaeng fans since I entered the industry. Don't worry, I can handle it myself."

Deng Lianen took the mineral water handed to him by Li Zhou, unscrewed the bottle cap with one hand without any pretense, and took a sip.

Xu Yiyu placed the box of pastries he brought from the imperial capital on the low table in front of him and watched the conversation between Li Zhou and Deng Lianen with interest.

Why do I feel that the coolness of this Miss Deng is quite different from the images she has played before...

She, Xu, has reason to suspect that if Deng Lianen finds out that Tian Xu is dating multiple times, the one who will be in trouble will not be her, but some scumbag who doesn't know his place!
