Chapter 131: 131 by the way, cheering for you.
Today was a bustling day for entertainment news. Chen Beini’s public image crashed, Gu Chengyu was criticized for bad acting, and An Lan cleaned up her “lickspittle” image. In the midst of this, a broadcast announced that the National Couple fans had abandoned their ship while the An-Gu pairing was rekindled—all centered around these three, creating a massive gossip hotpot.
Gu Chengyu’s die-hard fans continued their support, but, some of the National Couple fans were too disappointed with Chen Beini and retaliated by creating a super-topic for An Lan and Gu Chengyu, proudly waving the flag for this new pairing.
Previously, some believed An Lan was a sycophant, but now, after witnessing Chen Beini using Gu Chengyu, they realized that An Lan’s feelings for Chengyu were genuine and wholehearted. Moreover, to spite the National Couple fans, the super-topic for An Lan and Gu Chengyu was named “Fate CP,” symbolizing that despite all the twists, they would end up together as if by destiny.
Shi Lan was oblivious to the distasteful schemes hatched online and left the hotel refreshed and clear-headed.
With Tang Ze accompanying her, even though people saw Shi Lan leaving the hotel, they assumed she had other plans. In reality, Tang Ze dropped Shi Lan near Huahai, and after Shi Xiu’s assistant picked her up, he headed back to the office.
After a spirited karaoke session at Gu Chengyu’s birthday party and five back-to-back scenes in the afternoon, Miss Shi could stand and sleep at that point, yet someone still insisted on taking her out on a date. He clearly had no concept of cherishing her.
Yan Shixiu’s assistant took Shi Lan to a small yacht. At that moment, Shi Xiu was leaning on the deck, enjoying the breeze. He wore a light gray T-shirt and dark ankle-length pants paired with casual white shoes, accentuated by a brown luxury watch—a simple outfit exuding a sense of sophistication and superiority.
Upon hearing footsteps, Shi Xiu turned around and extended his hand toward Shi Lan.
Today was another day Yan Shixiu chose not to wear glasses.
“Why ditch the common touch and go for the domineering CEO style?” Miss Shi let him lead her to a sofa on the deck.
“Last time was just for fun, just wanted to give you a gift. Today I brought you to see the true night scene of Yancheng,” Shi Xiu said as they sat down on the sofa.
Soon, the yacht’s sole chef approached them with two steaks and wine.
Having been busy all day, Miss Shi was starving. At that moment, she didn’t care about any night scenes; ordinary life truly lacked idyllic moments under the moonlight.
Yan Shixiu watched her dive into her meal and opened the wine for her, “Care for a drink?”
After eating most of her meal, Shi Lan looked up at Shi Xiu and said, “No more yachts in the future, they’re not for me.”
“I told you, I brought you to see something.”
Miss Shi felt annoyed again. Why had this man become so unpredictable?
After a little drink and the night breeze, Shi Lan truly felt sleepy. Before reaching their destination, she had already dozed off on the sofa.
When Shi Xiu woke her, the yacht hadn’t moved, and not far from her, was the bustling heart of Yancheng. The largest screen in the city was showing footage and photos of her previous shoot in the desert for “Glory,” bright and glittering, reflecting over the river surfaces.
“Just an ordinary day, took you out for a meal, a breeze, and also, to show some support.”
“I heard from your team that you don’t want support from fans. Other people’s support might not matter, but what about mine?”
