Li Jianyu was still boasting. “Hey, Xiang Yi, don’t worry, there’s nothing between Shi Sui and Zhong Yi.”
Xiang Yi said, “Oh, is that so?”
Li Jianyu explained, “They’ve only been co-stars for one movie and garnered a ton of fans who shipped the two of them together because their scenes were too interesting.”
Xiang Yi said, “Oh, I see.”
“But most of these rumors about on-screen couples actually dating are fake. They’re either a publicity stunt or just the imagination of the fans…”
Ruan Qing suddenly covered his mouth and asked with a smile, “How is Xiao Naofu?”
“It’s fine, it just got pricked.” Xiang Yi placed Xiao Naofu back inside its little house, but Xiao Naofu refused to sleep there and insisted on occupying Little Xiji’s kennel. It sprawled itself in the kennel and moved its butt.
“Maybe you can chat with Shi Sui,” Ruan Qing suggested.
Xiang Yi said calmly, “You misunderstood, there’s nothing for us to talk about.”
“We’ve only worked together in a variety show.”
“Nine out of ten couples of the entertainment industry that people ship aren’t real.”
“The two of us are no exception.”
Ruan Qing coughed and tried to remind her that Shi Sui was right behind her…
However, Xiang Yi was still calmly narrating.
“We’re not really a couple.”
“Whether he has a daughter or not, it doesn’t matter to me.”
“I also…” She paused, seemingly not convincing Ruan Qing but hypnotizing herself. “I’m just his fan.”
Shi Sui was standing at the door, his slender and toned body against the light. His handsome face was concealed by the darkness and his emotions could not be seen.
Li Jianyu held his breath and did not dare to exhale.
‘What devilry is this!?!’
Ruan Qing hesitated for a few seconds and tested the waters “So you… don’t like Shi Sui at all?”
Li Jianyu looked at her with a vivid expression, as if to say: “Sister Ruan, are you out of your mind?”
In the next second, Xiang Yi said spitefully, “I don’t.”
The figure at the door stiffened for a few seconds before leaving.
Bang…
Li Jianyu’s heart was about to shatter.
Was he going to see the end of the #UntimelyCouple before he even got to see them begin officially?!
But…
Ruan Qing asked again, “You really don’t like him?” She laughed and said, “Well then, if Zhong Yi and Shi Sui share a child, they’ll be a family of three. That seems not too bad, huh?”
Li Jianyu looked at Ruan Qing in disbelief.
‘Sister Ruan, why are you fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire!?!’
‘Unexpectedly, something surprising happened…’
There was nothing but silence in the room. Xiang Yi didn’t answer the question and merely teased the air with the stick.
Li Jianyu was bewildered. ‘Xiang Yi, is there something wrong with you? Xiao Naofu is clearly in the kennel, who are you teasing?’
The corners of Ruan Qing’s mouth curled up.
Sometimes, actions speak louder than words.
She walked up and patted Xiang Yi’s shoulder. “I forgot to tell you something, the two mysterious guests today are related to you.”
After a brief moment of silence, Xiang Yi assented.
Before he finished, a kind and warm voice came from the doorway. “My obedient bunny, Grandma is here to see you!”
Xiang Yi’s dull eyes instantly lit up. “Grandma!””
Old Mrs. Xiang entered the doorway and exclaimed to the person behind her, “Old man, we’re already here, why are you still standing at the door?”
Xiang Yin said obstinately, “What do you know? I’m enjoying the scenery!”
Old Mrs. Xiang covered her mouth and snickered.
She whispered to Xiang Yi, “Just ignore him. He got up early in the morning and tried on more than ten outfits because he’s joining your show today! I’ve never seen such a vain old man!”
