"Why can’t Lu Jinghan like me? Even if it’s for hype, he’s willing to cooperate."
Heh, Yan Xiao almost fainted from anger at these words.
"Are you implying that Lu Jinghan has lost interest and is having an affair? You’ve got some nerve. Do you think Lu Jinghan is someone who wants just any woman? He only loves his wife, and anyone else is just wishful thinking."
Yan Xiao didn’t care that it was a live broadcast, he angrily shot back at Bai Antong. The host originally wanted to intervene, but there wasn’t the slightest chance to get a word in.
Bai Antong flicked her long hair, her red lips curled in a sarcastic retort: "What do you mean by that, what do you mean by any woman, are you saying I’m desperately clinging to Lu Jinghan?"
"What else?"
"I’ll call Lu Jinghan right now. If I’m not clinging to him, you have to apologize to me in front of everyone."
"Okay, no problem."
The director, standing in the audience all along, never called for a stop. He felt this episode would certainly break previous sales records and trend, with a popular young star and a traffic queen letting loose on live broadcast — it couldn’t be more sensational.
Bai Antong, on high heels, walked to the side, took her phone from her assistant, and directly dialed Lu Jinghan’s number.
Lu Jinghan, sitting on the sofa watching their show, took his phone out of his pocket and pressed the answer button: "Hello."
Bai Antong put the phone on speaker, Lu Jinghan’s clear voice came through the receiver, and the live broadcast scene fell silent.
Bai Antong, her red lips curled, glanced at Yan Xiao, then calmly spoke: "Do you have anything to say about us checking into a hotel together yesterday?"
Lu Jinghan’s distinctively boned fingers spread open Han Xi’s palm, intertwining tightly with those of the girl’s. He smiled before speaking: "What’s wrong with cousins checking into a hotel together?"
"Brother, I’m in An City right now, I’ll come over to your place for dinner after the program."
"Mm, have Yan Xiao come too."
The audience suddenly burst into chatter. Who would have thought Lu Jinghan was also watching this show? Yan Xiao was even more puzzled. How come he didn’t know Lu Jinghan had such a cousin?
After hanging up, Bai Antong raised her brows at Yan Xiao: "Don’t you owe me an apology, a sincere one?"
A gentleman’s word is his bond; moreover, it was live broadcast. Even if he was reluctant, he had to apologize.
Yan Xiao solemnly stood up from the sofa, bowed deeply to Bai Antong: "I’m sorry, I misunderstood you just now."
"Anything else?"
"What?" For a moment, Yan Xiao didn’t understand what she meant.
Bai Antong raised her hand to smooth her high ponytail, her red lips moved leisurely: "Am I just any woman?"
"This question is already clear; Miss Bai Antong is not just any woman. I misunderstood you just now."
The host aptly spoke up: "So it was just a misunderstanding, An Tong is so magnanimous, surely she won’t hold it against Yan Xiao, right, everyone?"
The audience below cooperatively replied in unison, "Yes."
Bai Antong looked up at Yan Xiao with a charming smile: "Of course, I won’t hold it against you."
It was live broadcast; even if Bai Antong had half a mind to strangle Yan Xiao, she still had to say she forgave him, otherwise her public persona would collapse.
After the show ended, when the two walked out of the studio together, many fans were gathered at the entrance asking for photos. Yan Xiao and Bai Antong cooperatively took photos with them before getting into their respective cars.
