"Don’t worry, I’ve spoken to all the major media outlets; there won’t be any issues for now, and no one has received any photos related to me."
"But they still took pictures, they’re bound to release them eventually, otherwise it would have been for nothing!"
Listening to Lu Wanwan’s anxious voice, Bai Lingyun pondered for a moment, "If you’re really worried, I think it would be worse for me if the photo came out. That scarf of yours..."
The pink scarf, a style particularly favored by young girls.
Normally, Lu Wanwan would have been in the mood to laugh about it.
"So, except for waiting, is there anything else we can do?" She didn’t know what the photo captured, but whatever it was, she hoped it would never see the light of day.
A scandal was a minor issue; she didn’t know how to explain to Gu Annan the existence of this photo, or why she was at that place.
Whether it was Doctor Song, Bai Lingyun, or even Bai Youchen himself, they had all emphasized the importance of keeping it a secret.
But lying to Gu Annan’s face would be a very stressful ordeal for her.
It was very likely she wouldn’t be able to tell a single lie.
"There’s not much we can do but wait. Perhaps it’s an attempted extortion. If it can be solved with money, then it’s a small matter. Rest assured, I will handle it as soon as they make a move." Other than worrying about that effeminate photo, Bai Lingyun wasn’t concerned about much else.
At the time, to avoid being recognized, he had intentionally ruined his image by posing his fingers daintily.
"At a restaurant near the school."
"What a coincidence? I’m a bit hungry too, tell me which one."
"No, I’m here with my roommate."
Bai Lingyun casually asked, "Is your roommate one of my haters?"
"Then that’s fine, the address."
"I’m nearby your school, hurry up. Do you still want your scarf back or not?"
Lu Wanwan helplessly gave him the address.
That scarf was bought by Gu Annan; she didn’t want to leave it with someone else and was determined to retrieve it.
"Who is it?" Taozi had guessed that the person on the phone wasn’t Lu Wanwan’s god-like boyfriend and had gone back to chatting with Qiaoqiao.
Now, hearing her mention the address, she became curious and asked.
"A... friend... He happens to be nearby, and he’s hungry and wants to scrounge a meal..." Lu Wanwan put her phone aside and answered calmly.
"That’s fine." Taozi, being very outgoing, said with a smile, "After all, you’re the one treating."
Qiaoqiao, holding her phone, suddenly let out a laugh, "Zhang Man is actually asking why she wasn’t called for the meal."
Zhang Man was also one of their dorm mates, but she seldom stayed in the dorm and wasn’t that close with the rest.
She had even given Lu Wanwan the cold shoulder over a guy she liked who happened to be close to Lu Wanwan, all because he was pursuing Lu Wanwan.
Not long after, the door to the private room was suddenly opened.
A tall figure walked in.
He wore a black trench coat with a duckbill cap pressed low over his eyes, obscuring them, and his face was covered with a mask.
"Who is it? You must have the wrong room!" Qiaoqiao looked up to see the newcomer’s strange attire. The first thing he did upon entry was close the door, then lock it, prompting her immediate alarm, "What are you doing? Get out! Or we’ll call for help!"
Taozi, also startled by the sound of the door locking, exclaimed, "Hey, we are just students, we don’t have any money!"
Bai Lingyun removed his hat, revealing that alluring, charming face, and took off his mask, a killer smile playing on his lips, "Isn’t there someone here picking up the tab?"
