Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: Chu Yibai Arrives

Yun Qiqi’s workday was as uneventful as always. Yan Yan was worried she’d get bored, so he brought her along to all his meetings, even took her on a few business trips, and they always returned the same day, so it never affected her studies.

Ever since Chu Yibai added her as a friend that day, it was as if he became entangled with her.

Whenever he saw her online in the game, he’d immediately send a game invite, insisting she play with him.

Yun Qiqi didn’t mind helping him win, but she always felt a bit uneasy, because he kept trying to probe her, like a sticky plaster she couldn’t shake off.

She had no idea where his suspicions about her started, especially since she never even used voice chat.

She wasn’t ready to meet her fans yet; she knew nothing about her previous career and wasn’t sure how to approach those fans who waited two years for her, so she definitely didn’t want Chu Yibai to know who she was.

She was afraid they would be disappointed.

Eventually, Yun Qiqi simply logged into the game less and less, fully immersed in her studies and work.

With her offline, it became even more difficult for Chu Yibai to catch her, so the Superstar Chu shifted his attention to Song Shijia and Fan Xinglan and others, trying to find some clue in their social circles.

As a result, those young masters who were also sons of the Imperial City elite blocked him from their social media. Clicking in, all he saw was emptiness.

He had to thicken his skin and privately message them, but they either didn’t reply or answered vaguely, just like Song Shijia.

This made Chu Yibai even more suspicious.

He knew this group had been guarding against him like thieves for the past two years, but before, when he sought them out, they would at least respond with a few words, asking him to help find Luo Luo together. Now, it seemed they didn’t want to say anything more.

After recording a variety show, Chu Yibai returned to the Imperial City, feeling uneasy.

With an afternoon free after coming back, he didn’t even sleep. While his assistant went to fetch the itinerary, he drove straight to Nan University.

He wanted to see Yun Qiqi with his own eyes, or he couldn’t calm his heart.

Even if he couldn’t see her, wandering around Nan University was good enough. He hadn’t had many chances to come here these past two years, yet he deeply missed the week he spent filming here.

He parked his car right at the South Gate, watching the students come and go, always searching for Yun Qiluo’s figure.

But after waiting half an hour, he still hadn’t seen her.

He couldn’t help but sigh quietly, feeling particularly, particularly disappointed.

His phone rang at that moment; it was his assistant: "Where have you gone, brother?"

Chu Yibai looked away, saying, "I’m at Nan University."

The assistant sounded frantic: "Why did you go there alone? My goodness! There are so many people there; what if something happens?"

Chu Yibai’s status now was very different compared to before. Two years ago, he was already a top star in Asia, but he didn’t know what kind of stimulus he received; overnight, he switched paths.

He no longer ran around for gigs or appeared on variety shows to win fans. Instead, he half-retired, becoming extremely low-profile, returning to the Chu Family to take over the family business. In his free time, he only made three films.

The entire entertainment industry was puzzled, wondering what this Crown Prince was up to. Had he decided to give up on his dreams and go back to inherit the family business?

Who would have thought that the few movies he acted in would all win awards? At the end of last year, he was already crowned as Z Country’s youngest Best Actor.

Whether it was inheriting the family business or pursuing dreams, he didn’t miss a single one.
