Chapter 753: Chapter 750: Just Beyond the Wall (2) Chapter 753: Chapter 750: Just Beyond the Wall (2) However, for some people, nighttime is not so beautiful.
Take, for example, the room next door, just a wall away.
After Han Yifan had sent that group of journalists packing, he also entered Shang Feifei’s room. However, he, Shang Feifei, and Xia Siyu next door all knew that the reporters had only quieted down temporarily. In reality, they hadn’t retreated; they were still in the hotel, perhaps in the hallway, perhaps outside, but definitely around them.
Han Yifan pulled back the curtains to look outside, and sure enough, not far away, there was a crowd of people with bulky cameras. Today’s drama was just too thrilling: a public breakup immediately after going public, and that included catching someone cheating. Then, while Shang Feifei was still somewhat disoriented, he entered the room with her, in part to protect her.
She probably regretted it by now since they weren’t actually a couple after all. Entering the room together had confirmed the nature of their relationship. But even kicking him out would be pointless now, as there were still reporters outside, and it wouldn’t clear up the confusion.
After entering the room, Shang Feifei quickly regained her composure. The scandal that had just erupted was probably already causing a furor, and her phone was about to explode. Especially since she had come alone this time, without any bodyguards, assistants, or agents by her side.
Even with Shang Feifei’s current status, having two relationships wouldn’t lead to the same public ridicule that Xia Siyu had faced in the past, but facing such a melodramatic incident, she still felt overwhelmed.
Even though she hadn’t invested much in her feelings for Glasses Guy, an hour later, she truly despised him. Not for anything else, but for the reports she had to explain to her agent, and for the sea of journalists outside the window.
Shang Feifei was not a very extroverted person to begin with, and her previous two relationships had been low-key. She had never imagined herself ending up on the front page headlines overnight due to such a clichéd cheating scandal.
As she prepared to post her drafted Weibo statement, her agent asked, “What’s with you and Mr. Han the Second, then?”
Only then did Shang Feifei remember that there was still such a person sitting in her outer room.
After Han Yifan came in, he just sat in the living room. It was a suite, with a large living room outside, complete with a bar, and the bedroom inside. Han Yifan knew better than to overstep, so he stayed quietly to one side after entering, not uttering a word, not disturbing her as she worked and addressed the situation, keeping to himself in the living room.
Shang Feifei and Xia Siyu were not the same kind of people. Xia Siyu was spicy and delicate; she would directly confess her interest if she liked someone, and if she didn’t, anyone who dared get close would be met with a punch! But Shang Feifei was different; if you dared to touch her, she wouldn’t bash you with her fists like Xia Siyu would, but she could take you to court and leave you with nothing.
Bo Yan had taken advantage of Han Yifan to distract the journalists. Of course, he also returned the favor, helping to guide public opinion for him. Soon, there was gossip online claiming that Han Yifan had racked his brains trying to pursue Shang Feifei but she, being already attached, had not agreed. The incident today was also due to Han Yifan receiving news and coming over with her. Essentially, Shang Feifei was innocent, not guilty of cheating, merely a victim, while Han Yifan was the lovestruck ‘second male lead’ from a drama. The one to blame was the guy with glasses.
This statement was actually crucial in preventing anyone from smearing Shang Feifei as a cheater and in whitewashing Xi You.
Han Yifan also liked this whistleblower’s post, and netizens, donning their “melon-eating masses” hats, soon excavated proof that it was indeed Han Yifan himself. This was taken as him endorsing this narrative.
