Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

Chapter 171 Cousin

Lin Liwen sighed as she looked at her, stood up, and shoved the stack of scripts on the sofa into her hands.

"It's all here. Take your time looking at it. I'm leaving now."

"You're leaving already?"

Lin Liwen glanced down at her. "Why aren't you leaving? Are you just here to be a third wheel?"

Upon hearing what the other person said, Su Wuli's face flushed again.

The door closed, and Su Wuli, holding the stack of scripts, sat on the sofa, stunned for two seconds.

Then she stood up and walked towards the kitchen, "Brown sugar water is ready—"

Before she could finish speaking, she froze at the kitchen doorway.

The pot was bubbling away, the brown sugar water was cooked just right.

But there was no one in front of the stove.

She turned to look at the living room, but no one was there.

"Yu Chen?" she called out.

No one answered.

She quickly walked to the balcony and drew back the curtains.

The rabbit cage was in the corner, and the gray rabbit was squatting inside. There was no one else on the balcony.

He went back.

Su Wuli was stunned for a moment, then went back to the kitchen, poured out the brown sugar water, and drank it.

……

At 2 PM, Su Wuli had just finished washing the bed sheets when Wen Yan called.

"Let's go shopping," she said bluntly. "I know you don't have any work commitments today."

"Okay." Su Wuli's lower abdominal pain from the afternoon had almost completely subsided.

Half an hour later, the two met at the mall.

Because Wen Yan usually shops in high-end custom-made stores, there aren't many customers on that floor, and she might occasionally run into one or two.

Wen Yan took her arm and walked inside, glancing at her as they went.

"You look great today, your face is even rosy."

"Is there?"

"Yes." Wen Yan nodded with a smile.

He glanced at her and said, "I have to tell you in advance, you're not allowed to buy any more of those conservative pajamas today."

Su Wuli was startled.

Wen Yan couldn't help but gesture with her hands, "Long sleeves and long pants, buttoned up to the neck, even my mother doesn't wear those. You're a young girl, yet you're wrapped up like a nun every day."

Su Wuli gave an awkward smile.

Of course she remembered those pajamas.

I thought that if I dressed like this, he wouldn't...

"Okay," she replied softly.

Wen Yan nodded in satisfaction and pulled her toward the women's clothing section.

The two of them strolled around for more than two hours.

Wen Yan tried on more than a dozen sets and bought five or six sets.

Su Wuli also bought two sets, both of which Wen Yan insisted on giving to her.

"This one looks nice, let's buy it." Wen Yan put the clothes in her hands.

"You'd be a fool not to buy this."

Su Wuli bought them all.

After leaving the women's clothing section, Wen Yan passed by the men's clothing store and glanced inside.

"Go in and order a few suits for my dad."

The store was brightly lit, and rows of suits hung on racks, in black, gray, and dark blue, and the fabrics looked expensive.

Wen Yan was talking to the shop assistant, discussing the fabric and style of the suit.

Su Wuli stood to the side waiting, her gaze aimlessly sweeping over the clothes racks.

His gaze suddenly stopped, landing on a black suit.

The suit was well-tailored, with crisp shoulders and a perfectly fitted waist.

As she looked at it, a person suddenly popped into her mind.

He was wearing this.

He changed out of his period costume and put on this black suit.

She couldn't help but imagine the scene.

The dark hair had been replaced with short hair, and the face with its distinct features and unfathomable eyes was now styled with a modern hairstyle.

The dark robe was transformed into a well-tailored suit, outlining the shoulder line, waistline, and those long legs.

It was as if someone was standing right in front of her, and her heart skipped a beat.

A suit is too formal; it would definitely look strange to wear it at home.

But if it were him...

Will he find it difficult to adjust? Will he frown?

Su Wuli imagined him frowning as he looked at his cuffs, and imagined him loosening his tie.

He didn't know what a tie was. Should she teach him?

She could even imagine the man standing by her bedside, wearing that black suit and looking down at her.

His eyes were still so deep and so cold.

My heart suddenly started pounding wildly.

"What are you thinking about?" Wen Yan's voice suddenly rang in my ears.

Su Wuli suddenly came to her senses and met Wen Yan's curious face.

He stammered somewhat guiltily, "N-nothing, just looking at clothes."

Wen Yan followed her gaze to the row of suits, then looked at her again.

"Staring blankly at your suit?" Wen Yan laughed. "What's wrong with you?"

Su Wuli pursed her lips and remained silent.

Wen Yan didn't press her for details and pulled her outside.

As they reached the door, Su Wuli suddenly spoke, "Wait a moment."

"Um?"

"I... want to buy a few sets of men's clothing."

Wen Yan was taken aback. "Men's clothing? For whom?"

Su Wuli hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

How so?

After thinking it over, she suddenly blurted out, "Cousin."

"You have a cousin?" Wen Yan asked in surprise. "How come I've never heard you mention him?"

Su Wuli's heart tightened, but she tried her best to remain calm on the surface.

"Yes, his birthday is coming up soon and I want to give him a few sets of clothes."

"Oh." Wen Yan didn't ask any more questions and pulled her towards another store.

As we walked, he said, "A suit isn't quite right. These days, boys prefer comfortable clothes. I'll take you to that store; it'll be perfect for young people."

Su Wuli followed her into the store.

The store was filled with T-shirts, hoodies, and sweatpants, all in simple colors and stylish designs.

She looked at the clothes and imagined what he would look like wearing them.

The colors are too bright...

No, she couldn't even imagine Yu Chen's expression if she actually bought it for him.

And he seems to only wear darker colors.

Su Wuli finally decided to buy only three conservative colors: black, white, and gray.

A shop assistant approached and asked, "What would you like to see?"

The shop assistant's eyes lit up when he saw the two of them, but he quickly regained his professional demeanor.

Su Wuli found a few T-shirts and sweatpants.

The sales clerk asked, "What size do you need?"

Su Wuli was stunned for a moment.

What size?

She subconsciously started gesturing with her hands.

"Height... about this tall." He raised his hand.

Then, thinking about the distance between his hands and the shoulders he usually placed, he thought, "His shoulders are so wide, his waist..."

As she crossed her arms to show off her waistline, Wen Yan watched from the side, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"Wait a minute," Wen Yan interrupted her, "Pear, is your cousin a male model?"

Su Wuli's hand froze in mid-air. "What?"

Wen Yan looked at her with a complicated expression. "This height, this shoulder width, this waistline, you're telling me this is just an ordinary cousin?"

Su Wuli's face began to burn. "Well... he is indeed quite tall..."

How tall? 1.85 meters?

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli thought about it carefully. The male actor she was currently acting with was 1.85 meters tall, but it seemed that Yu Chen was several centimeters taller than her.

He then said, "It needs to be a little higher."

Wen Yan stared at her face and suddenly laughed, "Alright, alright, your cousin is tall."

Then, as if she had just thought of something, she added, "You're so beautiful, your cousin must be just as good-looking. If he debuted, he'd definitely be a top star."

Su Wuli blurted out instinctively, "He doesn't like it."

Wen Yan sighed upon hearing this, "What a pity, the entertainment industry has lost a great handsome man."

The shop assistant waited nearby. "Excuse me, was the data just now... accurate?"

"It should be accurate," she said vaguely. "I measured it once before, but I forgot to bring the data this time because I was in a hurry."

Wen Yan looked at her with a slightly subtle expression. "You know so much about your cousin's physique? And you said you weren't trying to help him debut, but you sent the data to a modeling agency?"

Su Wuli's face burned even hotter. "No."

Wen Yan looked at her for two seconds and then stopped teasing her.

The shop assistant quickly brought over the size of the clothes and packed them up.

Su Wuli stood there, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

Wen Yan leaned closer and lowered her voice, "How old is your cousin?"

Su Wuli paused for a moment, her eyes darting around, "Twenty...something."

Wen Yan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

The clothes were packed up, and Su Wuli paid by card.

As they walked out carrying the bags, Wen Yan asked from the side, "What are we having for dinner?"

Su Wuli thought for a moment, "Whatever."

"How about we go eat hot pot?"

"it is good."

Halfway to the elevator, Wen Yan suddenly said, "When you were gesturing about shoulder width just now, I thought about it for a moment."

Su Wuli's heart tightened.

Wen Yan glanced at her and smiled.

"If your cousin has a body like that, can you introduce me to him?"

"No way." Su Wuli refused without even thinking, and even seemed a little anxious.
