But at the end of it all, it just boiled down to a single line: Ji Qingqing’s messy dating history; getting involved with multiple guys at the same time. Well, the entertainment industry sure was ‘lively.’
The post became increasingly viral and the netizens continued following its updates. There were also people who continually followed up the post and made allegations too. Lu Lixing’s brows grew tighter and tighter as he read.
Lu Lixing then sent the post’s link to Chen Shuyi and gave him a call while he did so.
He started the call by saying, “I’m going to get married. I don’t want this sort of gossip to affect my mood.”
Over on the other side of the phone, Chen Shuyi was being swamped with work. When he received Lu Lixing’s call, he was momentarily confused. He then saw the link that Lu Lixing sent on his computer and opened it.
“I will get someone to follow-up on this post. Rest assured they’ll all be cleared up and settled before your wedding.” After Chen Shuyi gave his assurances, he paused and lowered his voice. “But I have to say this, next time for matters regarding your wife, could you instead contact the main office directly? Although I’m working under you, I’m also the boss of Tian Yuan. As you always call me to settle things, the employees below think that Ji Qingqing is backed by me.”

“You don’t say. In the past, I didn’t bother with the celebrities’ matters so whenever rumors spread, my wife would unconditionally believe me. But recently, I’ve been increasingly instructed by you to pay attention to Ji Qingqing and all sorts of rumors have spread into my wife’s ears. I’m sure you’re well aware of how difficult it was for me to chase my wife. Just yesterday, I spent half the night explaining the situation to her; that Ji Qingqing is your wife and she refused to believe me no matter what I say. She even accused me of using you as an excuse. At the end of it all, I received the fate of sleeping on the couch.”
He went on to say, “Oh, and the previous time when you gave that 99 bouquet of roses; I have no idea how it got spread like that, but the rumors switched to me giving Ji Qingqing 99 roses instead. When my wife heard about that news, she made me buy 99 roses and got me to pluck each of them petal by petal into the bathtub for her to soak in a rose-petal bath.”
Chen Shuyi sighed. “Lu Lixing, I only took on that problematic task of yours because we’re brothers. But you have to be considerate; each day I work till I drop and still have to face my ‘family emergency’ when I go home. Is that even appropriate? Besides, since you’re getting married, an early announcement would make everyone excited that a celibate man like you is getting married. If you continue to hide and cover it up, it also won’t be good for Ji Qingqing’s reputation.”
Lu Lixing quietly listened as his good friend complained. He didn’t say anything.
“How about this, if you agree to it, I’ll directly announce it on behalf of you during the variety program.”
“Variety program?”
“It’s the dating program that I told you about the previous time. The production crew had contacted my wife. Although she had retired from the entertainment industry, she still wanted to re-experience the feeling of getting filmed again so she agreed to attend.”
Lu Lixing leaned back on his chair and gazed at Ji Qingqing’s chocolate . “You don’t need to make an announcement for me.”
Chen Shuyi replied, “Okay. But for next time, please call the main office instead. After you call me, I still have to call them again too. Oh right, about that program. Are you really not attending it?”
“I’m not.”
“Alright then. If there’s nothing else, then I’ll be hanging up first”
——“Death warning, please date your wife Ji Qingqing for no less than five days.”
“Wait… ” Lu Lixing rubbed his brow and asked, “When does the program start filming again?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChen Shuyi thought for a moment. “Actually the production crew are all done with their preparations. The original plan was to film tomorrow or the day after, but at the last minute, a guest announced that they’re backing out so the crew has been continuously contacting people to find a substitute.”
“Tell the director to extend the duration of this program to five days; I may consider attending.”
“Five days?” Chen Shuyi raised his eyebrows. “Sure, I’ll ask the director. But all the while you didn’t agree to this was because you felt that the duration was too short? If you had said something earlier, I would…”
A beeping sound was heard from the phone.
He turned over the phone and looked at it. Lu Lixing had already ended the call.
Chen Shuyi glanced at his phone and laughed.
He’s rigid on the outside.
TL note: 闷骚 is a person who is rigid and dull on the outside, but passionate on the inside
