Chen Yan was in the Sky Garden, so anxious he could die.

He wanted to know why they were arguing and also wanted to go over to break it up, telling them to stop fighting.

But… he really wasn't in a position to show up now.

So, all he could do was walk out of the glass house, pacing back and forth in the garden to relieve the tension in his heart.

After a while, not sure if they had failed to argue it out, both sat down separately.

Chen Yan checked their emotional states.

Now, not only had He Mengxue become "angry", even Lu Man had turned "angry".

Zhao Ying was originally clueless about these matters, and since Yang Rou was naturally reserved and seldom spoke, when Lu Man and He Mengxue stopped talking to each other in sulking silence, the atmosphere in the whole suite immediately froze.

Like that, both hanging on to "red faces of rage", they persisted for half an hour, then Yang Rou spoke.

She stood up, rattled off a few sentences, and then, like a pixelated character, she walked over to the clothing rack, picked out a piece of clothing first, and then left.

Following her actions, it seemed the tense atmosphere in the room lightened all at once.

Zhao Ying also hopped over to pick out an outfit and retreated to the inner chamber.

Only Lu Man and He Mengxue were left in the room.

Lu Man's mood turned into the green "happy".

And He Mengxue became "hesitant"…

After a dozen seconds or so, He Mengxue also got up, casually selected an outfit, and left.

Chen Yan was bewildered, not knowing what the women were up to.

Then he saw Lu Man also approach the clothing rack, picked out an item, and headed to the inner room.

Due to the angle of his view, Chen Yan could clearly see Lu Man took off the gown she was wearing and changed into the garment she picked.

Only after she had changed did Chen Yan realize it was actually... a yellow nightgown.

Chen Yan: ??

A face full of question marks.

What the heck was with changing into a nightgown?

But when Lu Man went out and encountered the pixelated representations of the other women who were already in the living room, Chen Yan became even more puzzled.

Because their clothing, too, were nightgowns.

Only the colors were slightly different.

Lu Man was in a black nightgown. Yang Rou had white. He Mengxue was in red. Zhao Ying wore blue.

Because pixelated characters don't show too many details,

Chen Yan couldn't tell from their nightgowns whether they were from the same set.

However, one thing was clear, after changing into nightgowns, the atmosphere among the women was much more pleasant.

Following Lu Man's lead, they seated themselves at the dining table.

The table was laden with food and drinks.

Then Lu Man turned on the TV, and the women started eating while watching.

And looking at their emotional states again,

This time, whether it was Lu Man, He Mengxue, or Zhao Ying, all their moods had turned "cheerful".

Although Yang Rou's pixelated character still looked indifferent,

Seeing how frequently she was talking, Chen Yan could sense that she must be enjoying herself as well...

After munching and drinking for a while, the women started playing games.

Games Chen Yan failed to understand.

Like writhing around the room, dancing to songs.

Sitting in a circle, they chattered about something.

Even running back and forth, purpose unknown.

And the more they played, the more physical contact they had.

Eventually, from the point of view of pixelated characters, the women seemed as close as long-time besties, not like they had just met.

Witnessing several women who were not acquainted playing together in such a strange manner made Chen Yan deeply perplexed.

What happened to the anticipated bloodshed? To the fighting?

Pfft!

No, it was about the planned discussions, about the confrontations, right?

How come all of that had vanished?

Wasn't this gathering supposed to discuss the issue of his philandering?

Could it be... Lu Man hadn't mentioned it?

But if she hadn't, how would she "explain" it to herself?

Chen Yan meticulously pondered over the whole evening.

He speculated: Could it be... Lu Man had resolved everything with the women when she changed clothes?

But how did she manage that?

He could not see it at all!

Just changing clothes and she convinced the women?

Can things be as simple as that in the world?

Chen Yan thought if he could learn it, then...

Pfft, pfft, pfft. He was just a bit curious, that's all.

Chen Yan had thought this gathering would end there.

To his surprise, after finishing watching TV and playing games, the women simply stayed over in the presidential suite.

What's more, they... all squeezed into a single large bed and slept together.

Chen Yan always felt like he was the missing piece among them…

But he also knew it wasn't realistic for him to join now.

So, although envious, he booked himself a room at the Twin Towers Hotel and rested alone in solitude.

That night, Chen Yan didn't sleep well.

He would wake up now and then, checking on his girlfriends' conditions.

Turns out, they were sleeping sweetly...

The next morning when Chen Yan got up, he instinctively reached for his mobile phone and checked on his girlfriends.

To his astonishment, he found that sometime during the night, all his girlfriends had left the presidential suite, except Zhao Ying, who was still lying there asleep.

Chen Yan checked the time.

It was just past nine in the morning.

He tried calling the company's front desk, and both He Mengxue and Yang Rou had already gone to work.

He then checked through the game and saw that Lu Man had returned to her villa. Wearing one of Chen Yan's T-shirts, she lounged on the couch, bare-legged, humming a tune and playing with her pad.

Chen Yan hesitated for a moment before calling her.

The phone was picked up after just a couple of rings.

"Why? So eager to know the outcome?" Lu Man's languid voice came from the receiver.

Chen Yan was indeed curious about the result.

But he couldn't say that...

So, with "feigned" concern, he said, "You were okay last night, right? I was worried about you the whole time."

Hearing this, Lu Man giggled twice, peculiarly saying, "We didn't have a bloody fight, are you disappointed?"

Saying so, she imitated Chen Yan's tone, suppressing her voice and said, "You women. If you don't pull out knives and guns for me, how can it show my worth!"

"You're not giving me face!"

"So, fight! Fight!"

Chen Yan became awkward, "Well, I wouldn't say that…"

Lu Man seemed to see through Chen Yan's mind, sniffed proudly, and said, "You just keep out of it. In any case…at least we seem to have come to an understanding."

"The future, let's talk about that later."

"For now, we're willing to coexist peacefully."

She paused and said, "As for what we think…"

"You should have a rough idea already."

"I'm a celebrity, I can't be publicly dating or getting married. So it doesn't matter to me."

"Sister Rou doesn't seem to mind either. No one's controlling her, and she's used to being single, so she's indifferent."

"He Mengxue is head over heels for you. So, although somewhat unwilling, she's ready to give it a try. But you know her family situation. We'll have to play it by ear."

"As for Zhao Ying, well… you really pulled it off with her!"

"Don't you know fooling an innocent person is illegal?"

Chen Yan: ...

Chen Yan really wanted to retort: She's not stupid. She's just naive.

But then he thought it would make him look even worse, so he kept silent.

Lu Man explained, "Also, don't get too smug."

"Actually, none of us are really important."

"The most critical person is Yu Qiao Qiao."

"I don't think she can accept your current situation."

"Besides, don't think that just because we temporarily accepted, everything is settled."

"People can change."

"We haven't contemplated the future, but when reality hits us, perhaps we need to rethink everything."

"So, you better manage us properly."

"If everyone's dissatisfied with the arrangement, maybe we'll all leave~"

Having said her piece, Lu Man hung up the phone without caring if Chen Yan had absorbed her words.

Chen Yan was so frustrated. This funny girl, recently she's getting more and more fond of hanging up on him!

Did she think he was to blame, not daring to take care of her!?

Chen Yan felt that one day he should assert his authority over her!

However, getting a relatively satisfactory answer from Lu Man, Chen Yan finally had some peace of mind.

Things had gone more smoothly than he had imagined.

As long as the women could accept it emotionally, everything else should be manageable.

As for arranging for the several women...

He had two ideas.

The first was simply to get the nationality of a country that supported polygamy, which would solve everything once and for all.

The downside was that he would no longer be Chinese, and it would be hard to explain to the families of the women...

The second was not to get married in China, but to register and have weddings with his women separately abroad.

This would be much more expensive, but... Chen Yan didn't mind the cost with his fortune.

Moreover, as long as these marriage certificates were not certified back in China, there shouldn't be any problems.

As long as Chen Yan kept a low profile, without exposing his relationships with the other women, then in fact he could provide an explanation to each of the women's families.

After all, to their families, he would be the son-in-law belonging to only one of them...

The downside was: Once a lie is told, maybe you'd have to live with that lie for the rest of your life...

Chen Yan was still pondering over these two options.

Moreover, because he had not yet divulged any of these matters to Yu Qiao Qiao, the most important woman in his heart,

He wasn't sure if he would even get the chance to make such a choice...

After reflecting, Chen Yan put down his mobile phone, deciding to continue probing into last night's events.

He left his room and went upstairs to the presidential suite.

Pushing open the door of the presidential suite, the room seemed to hold a pleasant fragrance after being occupied by four women for a night.

Zhao Ying remained, doing morning exercises alone.

Seeing Chen Yan, she excitedly waved at him to join in the workout.

Chen Yan had indeed not exercised in a long time, so he started doing the exercises with Zhao Ying.

While exercising, Chen Yan seized the opportunity to ask Zhao Ying about last night.

Surprisingly, innocent Zhao Ying was tight-lipped about it.

Whatever Chen Yan asked, she didn't answer.

After several inquiries, she even said: This is a small secret among women.

As for what she meant by a small secret among women.

Though she couldn't explain it, she still wouldn't talk.

The women's silence piqued Chen Yan's curiosity to the utmost.

So, after exercising with Zhao Ying, he promptly ran to Lu Man's villa, ready to thoroughly persuade her.

Who knew that Lu Man, this funny girl, thought she had achieved a great feat and was floating on air.

She bluntly told Chen Yan not to bother her, saying she was busy preparing to be the mother of the entertainment circle.

Frustrated, Chen Yan called her at most a "yeast" for fermenting the entertainment circle.

That infuriated Lu Man, who turned into a kitty, scratching and biting him.

Thus, Chen Yan, who hadn't been asserting authority for a long time, finally got the chance and pinned her down, disciplining her properly...

But Lu Man's aspirations of becoming the entertainment circle's mother were not just wishful thinking; the company was indeed deciding to build up her image and status within the circle...

Half a month passed.

While Chen Yan was secretly investigating what happened that night, Wandering Planet's box office continued to soar.

With its high quality, plus the buzz, Wandering Planet easily broke through five billion in box office and then reached 5.5 billion.

Everyone had accepted the fact that the film would be a superior blockbuster surpassing Medicine God.

The only question was whether it would end at 5.5 billion or possibly reach six billion...

As Wandering Planet broke through 5.5 billion, Lu Man became the first domestic actor to surpass ten billion in box office revenue...

Moreover, in both blockbuster films, her stature was within the top three, coupled with her producer and production roles, filled with real value.

Although no one believed that the box office success was due to her alone, everyone believed she played an important role in both films!

Aside from the continuous screening of Wandering Planet, Creation Camp and Tomorrow's Star, co-produced by Chenlu Film Company and Mei Man Economic Company, also premiered...

Before these two variety shows aired, many in the circle were skeptical or murmuring behind the scenes.

After all, launching a talent show at that time, Chenlu Film's ambition was clear as day.

It was about creating stars during a lull period!

But is it that easy to create stars?

Not to mention those trainees without significant backing; even among little flowers touted by patrons for seven or eight years, many still fail to make it big.

The widely accepted view in the circle was: Small fame may be buoyed by support, but great fame lies in fate.

Was Chenlu Film so confident that there was a destined star among their trainees?

Furthermore, before these variety shows, the last hot talent shows in China had to be traced back to over a decade ago with Super Boy and Super Girl.
