The sudden wedding announcement of Mr. Jing was already difficult for people to quickly accept and adapt to, but seeing Jing Jihan and Shi Su dining here made the surrounding company executives quietly back away, not daring to disturb.
Three hundred sixty-five days a year, Jing Jihan is always sharp and aloof, especially in business circles, he is particularly cold-blooded and ruthless. But today he seems relaxed with a gentle aura, clearly in a good mood.
Encountering Mr. Jing here, especially without the usual severe low-pressure aura, is truly rare.
However, even given the opportunity to pass by Mr. Jing after dining and say, "We’ve finished eating, going back to work, please enjoy your meal," no one had the courage to do so even in this seemingly gentle atmosphere. They all quietly left, not daring to disturb.
Shi Su returned to the film crew after three o’clock in the afternoon, and as expected, she became the center of attention.
After getting off the car, she kept her hat brim low and headed straight towards her RV. Along the way, every person from field workers to makeup artists to other staff couldn’t take their eyes off her. Some even tried courageously to approach her for a word, but Shi Su rushed into her RV without pause to avoid being snapped by any lurking media.
After all, the hashtag #Jing Jihan Shi Su# was still trending at the top on Weibo, followed by the explosive word that lasted most of the day without change.
And the second and third trending searches were #Jing Jihan has only one photo# and #Elite Hidden Marriage Novel Comes to Life#...
Below there were several high-search hits related to Shi Su and Jing Jihan, but Shi Su hadn’t clicked on them and only heard from her assistant Chu Jiu on the way to the crew that the CP fans of "Timely Rain" surfaced, quickly attracting over fifty thousand fans in just a few hours, and the number was continuously rising. Popular male and female stars in the entertainment industry couldn’t attract fans this quickly by faking CP in dramas, yet Mr. Jing, not even part of the industry, could pull in fans so swiftly.
This was because Jing Jihan himself was always low-key and never used Weibo, still hasn’t registered an account. If he did, surely his Weibo would be flooded with passersby and CP fans.
Sitting before the RV’s makeup mirror, Shi Su had few lines in today’s script, mostly emotional and eye-acting scenes. The lines were well-memorized, and after reviewing them for a while, she picked up the phone to scroll through Weibo.
Clicking on the trending search #Jing Jihan has only one photo#, she found that the only publicly available side-profile photo of Jing Jihan in a meeting room had been edited into numerous versions by fans, adding romantic and beautiful tones, with people even pairing her photo with his in a seemingly lifelike manner, as if it were a real couple photo.
It’s truly because Jing Jihan was overly low-key, as the head of Yu Jing Group, protecting his personal information comprehensively. This photo has been around for years, and since then, Shi Su thought that even just this blurry side profile showed the man’s elite air, noble and aloof aura nearly spilling out of the screen.
[Just a side profile is so captivating, how handsome must his full face be? They truly are a divine-looking couple! I’m about to faint from excitement, sob sob sob!!!!!]
[Finally, the domineering CEO novel male leads have a face!!!]
[What kind of cheesy yet thrilling setup is this domineering couple? I’ve been overwhelmed by their charm these past few hours!!! Can the "Timely Rain" CP be openly marketed, please don’t stay so low-key?!!! You should straight up join couple variety shows!!!]
It’s not just Weibo dominated by screams of excitement these few hours; forums within the industry were plastered with various domineering romance novel references as substitutes, and there were many requests for stories, asking the couple to make a public appearance.
The RV door was suddenly knocked, and Chu Jiu went to open it.
A shriek erupted, startling everyone in the vehicle.
Shi Su turned around to see Ami rushing to the RV still dressed in filming clothes, shouting breathlessly at her for a while before loudly asking, "What’s going on with you guys? Did you know each other before? Are you really married for a while? Why didn’t you tell me yesterday?!"
Ami spoke while looking bewilderedly at the makeup artist and Chu Jiu behind Shi Su: "Did you guys know? Did all of you know before?!"
Chu Jiu responded, "Calm down."
"How can I calm down? Yesterday I was in the car discussing with Shi Su about giving her daughter’s father a green hat... Now I feel I’m about to die, okay?" Ami screamed in despair.
Shi Su calmly replied, "I thought now you could pursue your idol with peace of mind."
Ami said miserably, "My idol is in low spirits today, didn’t even drink the lemon tea I personally brought him..."
Shi Su: "Didn’t he not drink it before?"
Ami anxiously paced, "That’s different! He’s even harder to approach today compared to usual. I joined the crew just to chase him, but now my idol is ignoring me, and my eldest cousin might kill me at any moment. My second cousin is hiding far away and not even answering my calls, heavens want me dead!!!"
Shi Su choked, "Didn’t you say you had a good relationship with the Jing Family?"
"I was bragging! Yesterday was the first time I got to sit in my eldest cousin’s car since childhood. I thought the sun was rising from the west, but who knew it was all because of you..." Ami looked clueless and bragged to the point of questioning Shi Su stubbornly, plopping down on the chair in front of Shi Su, saying: "What should I do now? How should I face you... my dear... elder cousin-in-law?"
Shi Su: "...Can you use a different term?"
She wasn’t quite used to being called Mrs. Jing yet, let alone "elder cousin-in-law," which made her feel extremely embarrassed, as if her blood was rushing straight to her head, wanting to kick Ami out of the RV.
Ami insisted, "No way, elder cousin-in-law, you have to protect me from now on!"
Shi Su: "Huh?"
Was she being taken advantage of?
"Isn’t it right to say ’cousin-in-law’ and ’one family for life’? From now on, you’re my sister-in-law! If you don’t protect me, who will? The entertainment industry is tough to break into, my only pillar is you!" Ami spoke as she warmly hugged Shi Su’s arm.
Shi Su: "..."
Chu Jiu turned away, focusing on her own tasks to avoid the urge to jump in for a battle.
Four o’clock in the afternoon, Jiang City Wanxing Kindergarten.
Class dismissal time arrived, and many parents had already gathered outside the gate.
Today seemed different, as amidst the crowd of parents who often met each other while picking up their kids, there appeared a tall, striking figure of a gentleman who had never been seen before.
