Chapter 135: The Island-Drama Queen Becomes a Wealthy Stepmother and Rises to Fame with Her Kids in the Entertainment Industry(The meaning of "porridge, porridge, porridge.")

Because they departed at the same time but traveled by different means, the plane landed in the island city first, while the slow-moving train was still more than a dozen hours away from its destination.

Upon landing, Su Wanning received a notification from the production team: they were free to move about and wait for the arrival of the remaining guests. Yu Xin and Tian Boyu, who had been in economy class, joined up with them.

"We have a dozen hours of free time ahead. Is there anything you all want to do?" Su Wanning asked the group after leading them to a noodle shop.

Yu Xin was the first to speak, her eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation: "Since we're at a seaside island, we have to go sunbathe, look at the hotties on the beach, and drink coconut water!"

Su Wanning pursed her lips, dismissively saying, "With so many activities, you're only looking forward to the handsome guys, aren't you?"

Yu Xin laughed sheepishly. "You saw right through me."

[I want to see handsome guys too! I vote for Yu Xin, take me with you!]
[Who doesn't love handsome guys? Especially at the beach.]
[I want to see them playing beach volleyball and see President Qin in swim trunks!]

After consulting with the two men, the group reached a consensus and decided to head to another seaside resort hotel to wait for the other guests. Since this activity was outside the production team's original plan, the guests had to cover their own expenses. However, after Su Wanning called the most famous seaside resort hotel in the area, she was informed that all rooms were fully booked and there were no vacancies available for them today.

Seeing Su Wanning return with a grim expression, Qin Jingchen asked, "What's wrong? Was it not successful?"

Su Wanning shook her head. "I'm afraid we have to change our plans. The resort hotel says they have no rooms left."

"Huh?"

Yu Xin’s face was immediately filled with regret as she waved the brochure she had picked up at the airport. "I had seen reviews for this hotel online a long time ago. It’s supposed to be excellent, and I’ve always wanted to visit. I didn't expect that even after finally making it here, I wouldn't have the chance."

At this moment, Qin Jingchen noticed the brochure in Yu Xin's hand. He stared at it, asking Su Wanning, "Is this the hotel you wanted to go to?"

"Yes," Su Wanning nodded, puzzled.

"Leave the arrangements to me."

Everyone else was stunned by this statement. Yu Xin cautiously probed, "President Qin, the hotel staff just said they were full. How are you going to arrange it? We only have this one day."

"It's fine. I have a permanent suite at the hotel, though you might have to settle for it being a shared suite."

"Could it be the legendary presidential suite?"

Yu Xin’s eyes lit up instantly. Even as glamorous celebrities, the price of a presidential suite at such a seaside resort was beyond their reach, and without a sponsor, she wouldn't be willing to stay there.

"Yes." Qin Jingchen nodded nonchalantly and walked away to make a phone call. Even Su Wanning was shocked by this turn of events.

Before long, Yu Xin let out a shriek while looking at her phone. "Well, Su Wanning, this is obviously your own family's hotel! Were you just acting and messing with me for fun?"

Hearing this, Su Wanning was completely confused by the inexplicable accusation. "What family hotel? When did I mess with you?"

Yu Xin turned her phone screen toward Su Wanning, showing the hotel information she had just searched for. The name "Qin Jingchen" was clearly listed under the Chairman section.

"Isn't this your husband's hotel? Did you really not know?"

Su Wanning shook her head, feeling embarrassed. How would she know? She and Qin Jingchen weren't even close before this, right?

However, with the livestream camera right there, Su Wanning knew that admitting that would likely cause many misunderstandings. So, she winked and replied half-jokingly, "He has so many properties under his name, how could I possibly remember them all?"

"..." Yu Xin was speechless for a moment before finally managing to say, "Alright, you can stop talking now."

[What did I just hear? Is this the latest way to show off wealth?]
[If my husband were this rich, I would definitely show off even more than Su Wanning!]
[Is this really necessary? Everyone knows his family is rich. Putting on such a show is just shameless.]

Most of the comments in the livestream were jealous remarks about Su Wanning's display of wealth, but she didn't pay them any mind. Not long after, Qin Jingchen hung up the phone and walked back. He seemed to exude an inexplicable glow as he calmly told the group, "The rooms have been arranged. A car will be here to pick us up shortly."

Yu Xin marveled, "A big boss is just different; he can even arrange a car for us."

As the group pushed their luggage to the airport entrance, while waiting for the car, Qin Jingchen seemed to remember something. He turned to Tian Boyu and said politely, "By the way, I forgot one thing. My suite only has two master bedrooms, so you’ll have to settle for another room. I’ve had someone arrange a queen room for you. You don't have any objections, do you?"

Tian Boyu could only nod in silence.

[I smell a hint of a conspiracy here.]
[Notice what President Qin said: "two master bedrooms," which implies there's a guest room. He just doesn't want Tian Boyu staying with them!]
[President Qin is secretly jealous, so cute.]

Meanwhile, Su Wanning looked on with envy. "That's great, I wish I could have a room to myself too."

Qin Jingchen immediately replied, "I'll arrange it for you."

Su Wanning, realizing what he meant, waved her hands frantically. "No, no need! Staying together is fine." She was joking—if he arranged a separate room, Qin Jingchen would definitely end up staying with her, while in a suite, at least she would have Yu Xin for company.

At the same time, Yin Shanshan and her group, bumping along on the slow-moving train, also received the news that Su Wanning and the others had arrived at the island and were heading to the seaside resort to enjoy their lives.

Fang Wei sighed, "I'm so envious of them. I heard that even though there were no rooms, President Qin managed to arrange it."

Yin Shanshan offered a comforting smile on the surface, but rolled her eyes internally. "It's fine. These are just the rules of the game. Once we reach the island, we can enjoy ourselves too."

Little Yang, standing nearby, looked envious. "Mom, when will we arrive? I want to eat seafood; I'm so hungry."

Hearing this, Yin Shanshan looked at the production staff nearby. "How are we handling our meals today?"

Before the staff could answer, a conductor pushing a snack cart walked by in the distance, calling out loudly, "Peanuts, melon seeds, mineral water, boxed lunches, instant noodles, and cola!"
