The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 504 is just for self-comfort.
"What? What happened?" Faced with someone's question, Fan Bingbing put on a puzzled expression.

“Qin Lan,” Xu Jiuyang said irritably, “I think your relationship is very strange.”

"What, feeling guilty? You weren't like this when Siyan and the others came to you one by one," Little Fan snorted.

“It’s not the same thing, okay?” Xu Jiuyang glared at her. “Whether it’s Siyan or Yin Tao, they were both willing. When Qin Lan sneaked in last night, it was clearly not like that.”

"Well, you didn't refuse either," Fan Bingbing said with a smile.

Xu Jiuyang was momentarily speechless.

Once a passive skill is triggered, it's very difficult to break free without some perseverance.

Although Qin Lan was able to use it temporarily through her sharing and it didn't have the same effect as the original, it was still sufficient.

Moreover, she had triggered this passive skill on Qin Lan quite a few times before, and she had long been tamed by her.

Otherwise, given how devoted Qin Lan is to her, even if she went as she was told, she wouldn't cooperate much.

Of course, none of this prevents Fan Bingbing from turning the tables and shifting the blame onto someone else.

However, Xu Jiuyang was no pushover either. He immediately steered the conversation away from the topic and asked directly, "You and she must have a very close relationship, right, Fan?"

Fan Bingbing was about to deny it, but seeing the scrutiny in the other person's eyes, she immediately took a deep breath: "Since you're not around, and I need to take care of some things, and I don't want to find a man, then I can only find a woman."

Some things are bound to be exposed sooner or later, so it's better to say them sooner rather than later, and you can even turn the tables on them while you're at it.

"Don't you think... this is a bit inappropriate?" Xu Jiuyang asked after clicking his tongue.

"What's wrong with that?" Fan Bingbing retorted. "I explained everything to her."

She emphasized as she spoke: "And, in a sense, she can indeed be considered my other half."

"You're even using anime slang now?" Xu Jiuyang raised an eyebrow. "Do you know what 'half-body' means, Fan?"

“Of course I know, that’s why I added a qualifier,” Little Fan rolled her eyes. “At some point, in some sense, I think you should understand, Xu!”

"Okay, I got it." Xu Jiuyang wanted to say something more, but in the end he just patted his butt and left.

However, after reaching the door, he turned back and asked, "If you don't mind, I'll eat your two maids too."

“No problem,” Little Fan spread his hands, “but to be fair, the maids from other people’s homes can’t be left out either.”

Xu Jiuyang coughed involuntarily, glared at her irritably, and then shook his head and left.

"You dare challenge me!" Fan Bingbing crossed her arms and raised her chin, looking smug and self-satisfied.

However, she gave up after a few seconds.

Although things have come to this point, she can now ignore certain things. At most, she will be unhappy when her scoundrel says he wants to use Huo Siyan, Yin Tao, or the maid in the house to relieve her heat.

I'm going to do great things. I won't be Fan Bayi anymore. In the future, I should be Fan Bayi or even Fan Babaiyi. That dog of a man is just the biggest brick I need to reach the top!

Even so, if that bastard were to snap his fingers, she would still scurry over to fawn over him, and even feel quite happy about it.

"I'm starting to hate that passive skill. As long as this skill exists, I'll be its slave!" Little Fan said viciously.

So she went to train her "slave".

However, despite saying that, when she encountered Qin Lan, who had some difficulty moving around, in the living room, Fan Bingbing gently took her arm and led her into the study.

"Are you alright, Sister Lan?" She asked with a somewhat apologetic expression.

However, Qin Lan turned her head away, her gaze darting around, as if she dared not face her: "It's...it's alright..." "What happened?" Little Fan couldn't help but ask.

"I..." Qin Lan raised her head and then lowered it again, becoming even more depressed.

"It's okay, just tell me what's on your mind, I'm listening," said Fan Bingbing softly.

"Bingbing," Qin Lan said pitifully.

"Ah...ah?" Little Fan blinked, a strange look flashing across her face.

"Last night..." Qin Lan's depression was tinged with pain.

"You wouldn't even think about it, I couldn't even think about it in that situation." Little Fan subtly rolled her eyes, then opened her arms and hugged Qin Lan.

"It's alright. I expected this when I asked you to go," she said reassuringly. "It's normal to feel this way—in fact, the reason I asked you to go was not only to help you win him over, but also to let you know why so many women can't leave his side."

Fan Bingbing stroked Qin Lan's hair: "I know, Sister Lan, you've never liked him, but... some things you can't just choose not to do."

"Bingbing..." Qin Lan raised her head and called out with guilt and sadness, as if a thousand words were stuck in her throat.

"Don't worry, no matter what, we'll always be one," Fan Bingbing said softly.

"I can't..." she said, her voice choked with emotion.

After a few fragments flashed through Fan Bingbing's mind, she said, "If you really can't accept it, then let's do it together after I have the baby..."

Her voice was very low, and the last few sentences were almost whispered in her ear, but it was no less than a thunderclap in her ear.

"Bingbing... Bingbing..." Qin Lan was so excited and moved that she almost collapsed against Fan Bingbing.

Fan Bingbing's lips curled slightly, her surging emotions almost bursting from her chest; this was exactly the feeling of being able to manipulate things at will.

However, the thought that in the end, that scoundrel would still benefit, made me want to throw a bucket of cold water over my head.

"Forget it, I'm already pregnant, and we're about to get our marriage certificate. Talking big is just to comfort myself," she told herself.

That was the end of it, and then—

"This is your marriage certificate. Congratulations to you both." The clerk at the Civil Affairs Bureau visibly trembled as she handed the documents to the couple, her surprise and bewilderment completely undisguised.

"Thank you, thank you all." With her eyes crinkling, Fan Bingbing took out a few packets of wedding candy and handed them out to the staff present.

There were no other people registering for marriage, so she used the system to simulate the process carefully and specifically chose a date, since the more low-key the matter, the better.

"Bingbing, do you know..." One of the clerks finally couldn't hold back and, taking advantage of the fact that someone wasn't with Fan Bingbing, lowered his voice and tried to say something to her.

"I know, he just got divorced a little over a month ago. His ex-wife is my best friend," Little Fan interrupted with a smile.

The clerk was dumbfounded.

"In fact, if we weren't worried about causing any unnecessary gossip, we would have gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau back then," Xiao Fanye continued.

The clerk remained dumbfounded.

"That's just how relationships are. There's no way around it. If you fall in love, you fall in love. It's already a miracle that you've been able to reach a solution through negotiation," Fan Bingbing kindly reassured her. "Can you keep this a secret for me?"

The clerk nodded vigorously.
