Chapter 341: A home massage

At home, when two hours elapsed, the alarm on Chi Lian’s phone persistently rung, forcing her to wake up.

Slowly, she stretched her muscles with a satisfied look on her face. The sleep had done her good because her body was not as uptight as it was when she returned.

Ding! She heard a familiar mechanical alert in her mind.

[ Congratulations host, mission accomplished. ]

She smiled and checked her phone because the caretakers at the house had been instructed to text her the moment Zhangye woke up and to her joy, there was a text and a picture of Zhangye holding his fingers up. He had made the peace sign and it made her chuckle.

She would return to meet him tomorrow and he would give her the information she wanted.

With that particular piece of good news in hand, she decided to go to the kitchen and find some food to eat. She had been operating on yesterday’s fuel without a single moment to eat or snack.

She heard the living room door being opened from the outside and she turned the door handle personally only to meet the butler right outside.

"Do you need me for something?" she asked him.

"No young miss, I just wanted to inform you that the masseuse is here and we have arranged a room for you to get a proper massage."

"Eh," she replied in shock.

"You said you wanted a massage before you went to sleep so I took it upon myself to make the preparations."

She was marveled by the butler’s can do attitude. He deserved a reward for this pro activeness.

"Take me there." She said. "Wait, I am hungry, I should get something to eat first."

"The chef has prepared snacks, some juice and a nutro smoothie of some kind. I will have all this brought to the massage room immediately."

She had another reason to smile; her taste buds were already yearning for whatever surprise the chef had prepared.

The butler led the way to the northern wing of the house. Most of the rooms in this wing were empty; the Chi family was a small one after all. It was not like the other aristocratic families which had hundreds of descendants.

"This is the room young miss," the butler said as he opened the door.

When she entered, she was surprised to see Yifei’s familiar face sitting in a chair, face down and scrolling through her phone.

Yifei looked up and she saw Chi Lian and her face beamed with a smile. "Surprise," she said.

Chi Lian was pleasantly surprised. "Yifei, what are you doing here?"

"When I heard that you wanted a massage, I volunteered to personally come immediately. I haven’t seen you for a while, I thought we would hang out more if I worked for you but you rarely show up at the office so I decided to come to you."

"Sorry Yifei, I have been very busy."

Yifei stood up and said, "Undress, we can talk as I give you a massage. I need all the details on your proposal that I have been hearing about in the spa through gossip. You have become a source of envy and jealousy for all those female stars."

Chi Lian covered herself with a towel and climbed onto the massage table.

As Yifei started doing what she was good at, the two women engaged in a whole lot of gossip about everything.

"Is the ring really worth fifty million dollars?" Yifei asked her in a voice that conveyed wonder.

Chi Lian raised her head up and Yifei pushed her back down. "Be still, and relax."

"I was just surprised to hear you say fifty million dollars. Where did you hear that outrageous rumor from?" Chi Lian asked as she laughed.

"It’s all over the building; first people claimed that the ring belonged to a dead British princess. Then a new rumor was started that the pink diamond was discovered in the crypt of a dead queen in Egypt. Someone also claimed that it was among the discoveries from that lost ship that was pulled up from the ocean last year in Spain. I think the fifty million dollar rumor was started by Shu Li, your assistant."

"Ho, these young kids really like to blow stories out of proportion. The ring is not worth that much and it did not belong to any princess. Doesn’t anyone do research on the internet anymore? The information on the Pink love is available online. Some of it is false but half is accurate." Chi Lian explained.

"Not everyone is happy about your engagement though; there were two young actresses in the sauna who were overheard saying that you just got lucky and that if they had the same access to Muyang as you did they would be where you are. They even boldly said that with all of Muyang’s wealth, they would have been given a ring twice as expensive as yours. "

Chi Lian scoffed and rolled her eyes. "They can try their luck too and see if Muyang will look twice at them. Do they think our road has been smooth sailing? All they see is the expensive diamond ring and the champagne and roses, they don’t see the tears we have cried. Envy like that will land them in trouble someday."

Yifei nodded in agreement and said, "I hate to say it but such girls will end up like Hian if they are not careful."

"Hian’s situation was different, she was not chasing after his wealth she was chasing after a fairytale."

"Aren’t we all?" Yifei asked and both of them laughed.

"You have bruises that are fading by the way, did you get hurt somehow?" Yifei suddenly asked.

Chi Lian’s stomach dropped a bit but luckily she was smart and become quite adept at lying.

"I fell down when I was running a few days ago but don’t tell anyone because it’s embarrassing."

There was a knock on the door and a maid brought in snacks and drinks.

"Miss, the snacks and drinks are here."

"Ooouuh, time to eat." Chi Lian jumped up with no intention to continue the massage for now. "Let’s eat while you fill me in on everything else that you have heard."

Evidently, the spa was the best spot for gossip in the building and as the peep star, it was her duty to be on top of it all.

Yifei was all too glad to indulge her friend. "You will never guess which newbie actress is dating a certain middle aged actor."
