Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

Yan Su fell silent. Indeed, as a singer, many people were jealous of her, much less the larger circle of the acting industry.

“But Big Brother Cheng… Honestly, I think he likes Nuanyi. I saw it last night.”

“I don’t know. I don’t pay attention to other women.”

Mo Liuxi lay down in a comfortable position. “But Cheng Sheng said that she was neither his girlfriend nor wife and that it’s not weird for a man to be attracted to women. What’s more, in showbiz, many actors develop an affection for each other while filming. But being exposed like that is bad press for Nuanyi. After all, the public knows she is dating Xiao Si, and now they’re saying that she entered a room with another man. People will think that she is two-timing him. In this society, when a male celebrity cheats on someone, he can be forgiven. Even though it will create an uproar among women in the public, it will die down after a while. However, if a female celebrity is found to be cheating, both the male and female celebrities will be criticized. Many do not have happy endings.”

“What you said makes sense. I want to ask Nuanyi what happened.” Yan Su was unable to sit still anymore. She quickly got up to wear her clothes again.

Mo Liuxi did not stop her. After all, Ji Nuanyi had helped him in Venice. He should be a little concerned for her.

As Yan Su was about to leave, he suddenly said, “tell Ji Nuanyi this: even if she has no acting projects in the future, I will still fulfill my promise to her.”

“What promise?”

“I’m not telling you.” Mo Liuxi turned over to sleep.

Ji Nuanyi stayed downstairs. Yan Su knocked on the door. It took a long time for her assistant, Shen Yue, to open the door. “Miss Yan, why are you here?”

“Is Nuanyi awake? I’m here because of the rumors this morning…” Yan Su said earnestly.

“Come in.” Shen Yue moved aside.

Yan Su entered and saw Ji Nuanyi talking on the phone at the bedside with her hair down. Upon seeing Yan Su, she nodded her head and continued her conversation. “I’ve said that I have no relationship with Cheng Sheng. He left after sending me in… If you don’t believe me, ask my assistant. I have no ambiguous relationship with Cheng Sheng… Why would you believe those articles? There were so many people there yesterday…”

Yan Su waited for about three minutes before Ji Nuanyi hung up the phone. She walked towards her listlessly. “Have you had breakfast? I wasn’t expecting such a big thing to happen after waking up.”

“Is there anyone who wants to harm you?” Yan Su asked worriedly.

“There are many people who would wish me harm,” Ji Nuanyi said coldly as she sat on her chair. “Recently, I’ve been auditioning for an important role in a new movie. If my reputation is ruined, the directing team will not consider me anymore… and then there’s my other movie that was only released yesterday. If the male and female leads get bad press, it will affect the box office performance. Besides, there are also those lascivious admirers of Xiao Si. It’s not as simple as it seems.”

Yan Su was surprised. “CEO Xiao’s lascivious admirers…”

“Susu, Xiao Si is handsome and he’s senior management in the entertainment industry. He is funny, entertaining, and likes to play around outside. What woman wouldn’t like that kind of man?” Ji Nuanyi laughed.

Yan Su stayed silent. Suddenly, she felt that Mo Liuxi, despite being petty, mean, and does not like to go out, was pretty decent as a boyfriend.

“Are you here to show your concern for me? Thank you.” Ji Nuanyi added, “Actually, I knew that there were reporters following me, but we usually give them some ‘tips’ to close an eye. This time though, they messed with me behind my back. This was definitely premeditated but it doesn’t matter. Having stumbled around in the industry for years, there hasn’t been any kind of boisterous waves I have not seen before. As long as I walk straight and stand tall, I will be fine.”
