But she didn’t know that as soon as she said those words, Fu Siyu was completely stunned.
He was rigid for a moment before he finally managed to pull his thoughts together and looked straight at Shu Wan. "I thought..."
For some reason, a faint sense of loss flashed in Fu Siyu’s eyes. He smiled at Shu Wan, "Are you hungry? Let’s go back and eat."
Shu Wan nodded as if the matter she had just mentioned was just said in passing, quickly forgotten.
Fu Siyu’s prediction was quite accurate; in this era of widespread internet access, cameras were ubiquitous.
Even if the actors in the crew didn’t dare to say anything because of Director Wei Jia’s influence, the many extras and staff had no such scruples.
Soon, photos of Director Wei Jia and Shu Wan spread all over the internet.
Director Wei Jia and Shu Wan were already close; with just a slight change of angle, the two appeared to be kissing.
[...They’re too intimate, aren’t they? Is there really nothing going on between them? I’ve always said that Wei Jia’s return to the industry was not quite normal. ]
[So intimate, Director Wei Jia was known for his good looks when he was young, and he still has a charm, plus he’s talented. Surely he’s something Shu Wan’s rich husband can’t compare with. It’s not impossible for the two to spark a flame through art. ]
[Shu Wan sure has a lot of scandals. I have the least respect for women who climb the ranks through men. It’s a disgrace to women. All day long she’s cuddling and kissing others, it’s disgusting to watch. ]
Unlike the previous rumors which only had photos, this time there were videos as well, making it harder for people not to believe.
Even Lin Man gave Shu Wan a call, but she didn’t believe that Shu Wan would get together with Wei Jia; what she was more curious about was, "Did you use the medicine I gave you on your husband?"
Shu Wan glanced subconsciously at Fu Siyu who was putting a scarf on her and replied softly, "No."
"Why didn’t you use it?! That medicine, I had it brought from Country A. They say it’s used on bulls over there; it’s really powerful. I’m telling you, a whisper in the ear is most effective. Get your husband tamed, and then get him to make more money. After you divorce..."
Fu Siyu suddenly spoke up, startling both Lin Man and Shu Wan.
"Who’s speaking? Your husband?" Without thinking, Lin Man asked, her mind thinking that despite Shu Wan’s disappointing husband, his voice was quite nice.
But, based on her past experience of having an online relationship for three years with someone who refused to share their photo, she knew that the nicer the man’s voice, the less likely it was to meet him in person.
"Enough," worried that Lin Man might say something even more explosive, Shu Wan hastily stopped her. "We’ll talk on WeChat later. I’m heading back now."
Lin Man had no choice but to hang up.
Maybe it was the voice of Shu Wan’s husband that triggered some of her memories, but Lin Man logged into her old gaming account that she hadn’t used in a long time.
She remembered when she was in high school, due to a popular TV series, Lin Man also played a Fantasy genre game.
Unlike the TV series where you could easily meet the top player of the server, Lin Man, with poor skills and bad equipment, played solo for a whole year.
Later, she picked up a disciple in Newbie Village whose gear was even worse than hers. She insisted on making him become her apprentice, but during the apprenticeship ceremony, due to some mistake, they somehow became bonded as a Heroic Couple in the game.
For the game-illiterate Lin Man, she had no idea where to go to dissolve the relationship, so she just unthinkingly entered into this special relationship with the little apprentice.
Fortunately, the little apprentice was obedient, had a lot of time, and could always accompany her in the game, so Lin Man didn’t care much about the relationship.
They kept each other company and played for three years, until one day, the little apprentice suddenly stopped logging on. Lin Man waited nearly half a year but never saw him online again.
After that, Lin Man didn’t log into that game anymore.
Lin Man entered her account and password to log into the game she hadn’t played in nearly six years.
She had been a nobody in the game, and when she disappeared, nobody noticed. Now six years had passed, and probably even the few game friends she had would have deleted her.
But she didn’t expect that the instant she logged in, the whole server erupted.
"Holy shit, a miracle in our lifetime! Pass it on! Love Eating Cotton Candy has logged in!!!!"
"Damn, witnessing history, brothers. He actually waited for this to happen."
