    “Sigh, I’mpletely popr now.” Lin Fan sat beside Xia Wanqiu and silently looked at all the news on Weibo.


    His phone was almost jammed.


    Fine, he had to buy a new phone.


    As for how popr he had be, Lin Fan didn’t care at all. No matter how popr he was, would he be as popr as his “wife”?


    “People should be happy when they be popr. Why do I feel like you’re different from others?” Xia Wanqiu looked at Lin Fan curiously.


    “Handsome people will always have their troubles. There are usually many girls chasing and blocking me on the streets, wanting to take a picture with me.”


    “Now that I’m so popr, it’s hard for me to keep a low profile,” said Lin Fan. He just wanted to be a God-level nouveau riche quietly and live a rxed life. The reason why he was always trending was because he was too handsome.


    “Meow, meow ~ ~ You’re asking for it!” Xia Wanqiu giggled.


    “It’s good to be popr. Actually, I also want to try a rtionship scene, but there’s never a suitable male actor.” Xia Wanqiu sighed, looking a little disappointed.


    Girls were naturally emotional. She could act better in some emotional scenes, but there was no other way. Although those male actors were handsome, Xia Wanqiu had no intention of working with them.


    Shouldn’t holding hands, hugging and kissing be done with the person you love?


    Only when she was with the person she loved could she be more invested and her acting skills be more realistic.


    “It’s fine. There will be one in the future.” Lin Fan smiled.


    “Fierce!!! In the future, even if there’s a suitable male actor, I don’t want to act either.” Xia Wanqiu flipped her long hair.


    “Why?” Lin Fan asked. Looking at Xia Wanqiu, his heart felt warm.


    “Hmph, there aren’t so many reasons. If I don’t want to act, then I don’t want to act.” Xia Wanqiu red at Lin Fan. He was really a blockhead.


    Her rtionship scenes, her first kiss on the screen, why would she give it to those male actors? Those male actors might have great acting skills, but… they weren’t Lin Fan.


    Lin Fan could tell what Xia Wanqiu was thinking but he didn’t point it out. He just touched Xia Wanqiu’s cat ears hat and said, “If I be an actor one day, I’ll act with you in a rtionship scene. I’ll be the male lead and you’ll be the female lead. How about that?”


    Xia Wanqiu’s pretty face turned red, and she said coquettishly, “Shameless. Who wants to act with you? Do you want to bully me? Do you want to openly bully me while acting? Do you want to NG more than ten times with the director during kissing scenes?”


    Lin Fan said righteously, “Why do I feel like I’m the one at a disadvantage when I’m filming a kissing scene with you?”


    Xia Wanqiu heard that and her chest heaved up and down. She looked at Lin Fan angrily and bit towards his arm.


    She didn’t want to be a cat today. She wanted to be a dog.


    Roar! Bite!


    “It hurts, it hurts, be gentle…” Lin Fan said,” Are you a dog? ”


    “Ahwooh! Ahwooh!” Xia Wanqiu’s lips curled up. Who asked Lin Fan to bully her just now?


    “You look like a husky when you howl.” Lin Fan chuckled.


    “Ah ah ah, smelly Lin Fan, I’m not talking to you anymore!” Xia Wanqiu was so angry that her chest hurt. Damn Lin Fan. She was such a cute little puppy, yet she was called a husky?


    ...


    At Yuehua Entertainment, Xu Yang sat in the office, silently reading the news on Weibo. He was lost in thought.


    Faced with such a huge controversy, Boss Li was a little angry.


    The most important thing for female celebrities was gossip.


    If it was a normal official rtionship, perhaps the fans would not be so agitated and would only give their blessings.


    However, if a female celebrity had a scandal with an ordinary person, it would be fatal. No fans would tolerate it, and thepany would not tolerate it either.


    If the rumors were true, it would affect the career of female celebrities and they might lose their endorsement products. Manypanies might not work with female celebrities.


    Lin Fan and Xia Wanqiu’s high school photo, as well as the video of him protecting Xia Wanqiu at the entrance of the restaurant and beating up the burly man, were linked together and a rumor spread.


    Although it was the top trending topic on Weibo, the impact was not fatal.


    Why? Because there was no concrete evidence.


    What could a high school photo prove? At most, it meant that they were close in high school.


    Who didn’t even have a photo with a ssmate of the opposite sex in high school?


    Hence, CEO Li only wanted to give Xia Wanqiu a warning. Thepany still followed the normal process of refuting rumors.


    Xu Yang felt a glimmer of hope.


    The reason why Xia Wanqiu hadn’t filmed kissing scenes for so many years, how could it be because of Lin Fan?


    In Xu Yang’s eyes, Lin Fan was just a small fry who ran a restaurant. Even if Lin Fan signed apany and entered the entertainment industry, it would be extremely difficult to surpass him.


    After this piece of news was exposed, Xia Wanqiu only needed one sentence topletely refute the rumors.


    As expected, Xia Wanqiu’s simple sentence immediately caused the reputation of the restaurant to turn around. Coupled with some of thepany’s operations, it also brought about the poprity of Lin Fan’s restaurant.


    However, Xu Yang felt his heart turn cold.


    Xu Yang carefully looked at Xia Wanqiu’s post on Weibo: [We’re not together yet.]


    To an ordinary person, it might seem like a simple denial, but Xu Yang did not think so.


    Xia Wanqiu’s denial actually had another meaning—”We’re not together yet, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be together in the future.”


    As for thements on the Inte, the ambiguity between the two of them, the photos, the crush, the love, or perhaps the reason why Xia Wanqiu didn’t act in the kissing scene was because of Lin Fan.


    Xia Wanqiu did not respond to all thements.


    She acquiesced.


    In other words, there was a high possibility that the reason why Xia Wanqiu didn’t act in kissing scenes and refused to get close to male actors was because of Lin Fan.


    Xia Wanqiu was not denying the rumors. Instead, she was telling Xu Yang that the person she liked was Lin Fan.


    “Wanqiu, are you trying to make me give up?”


    “After spending so many years with you in thepany, I thought that I would be able to win you over. Now, it seems like it was just a dream.”


    “But… rtionships aren’t child’s y. Even the best of lovers might break up. Not to mention you two haven’t really been together.”


    “Lin Fan, although my position is higher than yours, my background is deeper than yours, and my family is richer than yours, let’s have a fairpetition.” Xu Yang looked up with some confidence.


    With Lin Fan’s ability, there was still a long way to go before he could get close to Xia Wanqiu’s career.


    At this thought, Xu Yang called his assistant.


    “Master Xu, it’ste. What’s the matter?” the assistant asked.


    “Contact Lin Fan and ask him if he wants to enter Yuehua as an artist. We can discuss the signing fee. He’s a neer with potential. I can him in the entertainment industry unconditionally,” Xu Yang said.


    Perhaps in the eyes of others, he would make use of his power and the advantage of being a celebrity to suppress Lin Fan and pursue Xia Wanqiu.


    However, Xu Yang wanted to help Lin Fan. He wanted Lin Fan to join thepany, cooperate with him, andpete fairly with him.


    If Lin Fan’s family was poor and he didn’t have the resources to enter the entertainment industry, then he would do his best to help Lin Fan. If Lin Fan couldn’t solve the problem, he would solve it.


    “Okay.” The assistant nodded, feeling a little surprised.


    Xu Yang was not only Yuehua Entertainment’s number one male artiste, but also Yuehua Entertainment’s number one artiste.


    His poprity was even higher than Xia Wanqiu’s. In the entire entertainment industry, he held a pivotal position. If he wanted to promote a neer, then the resources of this neer would be unimaginable.


    As long as the neer was outstanding enough, Xu Yang would personally promote them and they would definitely grow quickly.


    The assistant didn’t dare to imagine Lin Fan’s future.


    Lin Fan was handsome to begin with. If Lin Fan was willing to join Yuehua Entertainment, he would receive the help of Xu Yang, Xia Wanqiu, and Su Xiaoyu.


    Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before Lin Fan became an A-list celebrity!


    Of course, Xu Yang did not know that the fairpetition he wanted did not exist.


    Xia Wanqiu refused to get close to any actor, but she was willing to be alone with Lin Fan.


    If Xu Yang knew, he would doubt his life.


    No matter how hard he tried, he was not on the same starting point as Lin Fan!
