The next day, before Su Jianan woke up, the news of her and Lu Boyan’s reunion had spread through the Internet; the news on Weibo and major gossip websites had exploded.

The source of the gossip was that an authoritative entertainment magazine published photos of Lu Boyan and Su Jianan entering and leaving a private hospital and kissing in a car. The content of the report was even more explosive—

“The staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau said that Lu Boyan and Su Jianan had never gone through the divorce formalities, and in the legal sense they are still husband and wife.”

“The staff of the 8th People’s Hospital said that Su Jianan appeared in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital for the purpose of obstetric examinations.”

“Su Jianan’s former colleague released the news that Jiang Shaokai and Su Jianan are really just good friends. They have known each other for seven or eight years, and they had been together in college. As for that day when they went in and out of the hotel, it was only for the official affairs of the police station.”

……

In summary, not only did Su Jianan and Lu Boyan not divorce, Su Jianan did not have an abortion operation, and the ambiguous relationship between Jiang Shaokai and Su Jianan was even clarified…

The sudden reversal was like a dense net. Except for the parties, the people watching that farce were trapped in the net and could not see the truth.

Han Ruoxi’s Weibo was a storm again; hundreds of thousands of comments were published with the same sentence: Weren’t you with Lu Boyan?

Her agent and assistant were even worse, and the phone was shut down because of calls by various media outlets.

Lu Boyan already knew what would happen that day, so he had shut down Su Jianan’s phone.

Without interruption, Su Jianan slept until eight o’clock.

When she woke up, Lu Boyan was just getting ready to leave. She simply closed her eyes and pretended to sleep—Lu Boyan thought that she was still sleeping, so he didn’t call her for breakfast, and she could just sleep till ten o’clock.

Before leaving the room, Lu Boyan looked at Su Jianan as usual, and found that her long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings. He smiled, and kissed her eyes.

Su Jianan knew that she was about to be exposed so she raised her lips, but still closed her eyes and pretended to sleep soundly.

Lu Boyan could do nothing about it with her, and tucked her in. “If you’re hungry, remember to ask Aunt Liu to bring breakfast up.”

Su Jianan nodded, and slept some more before slowly getting up.

After brushing her teeth, she suddenly felt that her stomach wasn’t quite right, and when she was about to go back to the room to lie down, her stomach made a tumble at that moment, and she vomited a lot.

The thing Aunt Liu was most afraid of was to see Su Jianan throw up, so she caressed her back and said, “I’ll call the young master!”

Su Jianan hurriedly grabbed Aunt Liu and shook her head. “I’m fine. He should have just arrived at the company, let him work.”

Lu Boyan had so many things that he needed to handle every day. If he wasted time rushing back, it would be equivalent to asking him to work overtime at night. Su Jianan didn’t want him to be needlessly tired.

“But,” said Aunt Liu in a dilemma, “The young master also specifically explained before going out that if you’re not comfortable, I had to call him.”

Su Jianan smiled, gargled and pulled Aunt Liu downstairs. She said, “See, do I look uncomfortable?”

Aunt Liu thought for a while. “If you don’t vomit later, I will listen to you and won’t call the company.”

Su Jianan was relieved for a while and ate breakfast slowly, fearing that eating too fast would cause nausea.

Near noon, she received a call from Luo Xiaoxi, knowing that the photo taken at the hospital that day was exposed, and she was talked about by everyone again.

“I’m going to be interviewed by the media today. They will definitely ask me about you and Lu Boyan. How do you want me to answer?” That was why Luo Xiaoxi made the call.

Su Jianan knew Luo Xiaoxi so much, and had a bad feeling. She warned Luo Xiaoxi seriously, “Don’t say anything wrong.”

“Of course I can’t talk nonsense,” Luo Xiaoxi grinned a few times and continued, “My purpose is very simple—to irritate Han Ruoxi. According to the staff around her, her temper is getting more irritable. I guess she can spontaneously ignite if I just say a few words!”

“Xiaoxi…”

Before Su Jianan finished talking, Luo Xiaoxi said she was going to put on makeup and hung up the phone decisively. Su Jianan felt it was too troublesome.

She didn’t know what her brother thought, and actually allowed Luo Xiaoxi to enter the entertainment circle again. She could set off an entertainment storm in minutes!

After Luo Xiaoxi and Su Yicheng talked last time, Luo Xiaoxi had gone back to the company to find Candy the next day. She tried to post something on Weibo and was reported by multiple media that she had returned to the industry. Candy thus took the opportunity to let the PR department release the announcement, that Luo Xiaoxi was back and arranged an interview for her that day.

The news of Su Jianan and Lu Boyan was so explosive. Regarding the relationship between Luo Xiaoxi and Su Jianan, they didn’t need to worry about not finding media that would care about it.

Candy’s wishful thinking was not wrong. The reporters all came. Cameras were aimed at Luo Xiaoxi, capturing her most beautiful side at any time.

At first, Luo Xiaoxi couldn’t avoid being asked about giving up the finals and even being questioned if he didn’t respect her opponents.

Luo Xiaoxi replied with a smile, “I hope my competitors can respect me, and I will also respect them firsthand. At that time, because my parents had a serious car accident, I couldn’t get the most out of the runway when I was in that situation. For this reason, I gave up the game. Isn’t this a form of respect?”

“Xiaoxi, you used to be the most favored dark horse, but you disappeared for almost three months. Have you ever worried about the audience forgetting about you?”

Luo Xiaoxi shrugged. “Then I’ll make them remember me again. Didn’t anyone know me at first? I started from scratch.”

Listening to Luo Xiaoxi’s answer, Candy nodded gladly. She really grew up after leaving for three months.

But the next thing made Candy clearly realize that Luo Xiaoxi had not changed.

The question suddenly shifted to Su Jianan and Lu Boyan. That was Luo Xiaoxi’s returning press conference. Candy wanted to signal the reporters to stop asking those questions that had nothing to do with Luo Xiaoxi. But Luo Xiaoxi stopped her.

At present, Su Jianan could not be contacted. Han Ruoxi and Lu Boyan refused to respond. Luo Xiaoxi was the only person they could dig some material from. Several cameras were like pairs of sharp eyes, staring at Luo Xiaoxi.

The reporter asked, “Xiaoxi, are Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu really not divorced?”

Luo Xiaoxi was puzzled. “They have known each other for more than ten years, and they have always considered each other to be the one. After marriage, they have always been so good that single people can’t bear the sight of them. Why divorce?”

“What about the scandal between Mr. Lu and Ruoxi? Everyone thought they really were together.”

“Someone directed and acted independently, misleading the media, so they were just fooled,” Luo Xiaoxi smiled, looked at the camera and said, “Now, Miss Han should wake up from her sweet dream. He’s destined not to be hers, and will never be hers… even if she succeeds in making everyone think she’s got him, in the end… what’s the use?”

What she said successfully made the reporters excited. They wanted to ask for more details, and wanted to know how Han Ruoxi self-directed and played it by herself. Luo Xiaoxi then signaled Candy a look at that moment, and Candy understood, it and took the wireless microphone to say, “Now, if there are no more questions about Xiaoxi’s comeback, please wait for next time.”

The reporters were also smart and knew that Luo Xiaoxi would not answer if they kept asking, so they simply gossiped about Luo Xiaoxi. “Xiaoxi, can you talk about your relationship? Someone claiming to be your college classmate posted online saying that you have been pursuing the president of the Cheng An Group during your entire university years, is that true?”

Luo Xiaoxi shook her head seriously. “No.”

Pursuing made her sound cheap, so in order to maintain her own image, it was normal for Luo Xiaoxi to deny it. The reporters were trying to follow up and suddenly heard Luo Xiaoxi say,

“That classmate, his news was not detailed enough. Who said that I chased Su Yicheng since I was in college? I was already chasing him since I was a graduate student in high school.”

The candid tone made it look like she was just talking to an old friend about something very usual. The reporter seats were quiet for half a second, and then a burst of relaxed laughter suddenly appeared. The reporter hurriedly asked, “Xiaoxi, you don’t seem to mind, can you tell us in detail?”

All of Luo Xiaoxi’s friends knew the fact that she had chased after Su Yicheng. She also seemed to be numb after being ridiculed for so many times. Even if she didn’t say it, it would be dug out by the media. She might as well tell it to satisfy the public’s curiosity.

Luo Xiaoxi drank some water, admitting that she had pursued Su Yicheng specially for more than ten years and had done a lot of stupid things.

The reporters on the press bench all laughed, and the atmosphere of the interview became more and more relaxed. In the end, it was not so much an interview as a chat between friends.

Near the end of the press conference, a female reporter raised her hand. “Xiaoxi, I have a crush on a person for a long time, but I don’t have your courage, can you tell me how are you and Mr. Su now?”

“We now are…” Luo Xiaoxi shrugged. “He still disdains me like he used to.”

“Are you ready to give up?”

“Give up?” Luo Xiaoxi shook her head, “No, he can only be mine in this life. At the moment I decided to chase him, I had also decided not to give up. I will keep chasing him until… the day he marries me.”

There was another round of laughter in the press conference. “Why would you want to chase him like this? If you give up on him, I believe there will be many outstanding young talents chasing you.”

“I just want this person,” Luo Xiaoxi said, “Even though there are so many young talents out there!”

Candy looked at Luo Xiaoxi close by, feeling helpless.

The reporters present were almost all for Su Jianan and Lu Boyan; there was actually no one that really wanted to report on Luo Xiaoxi’s comeback.

When reporters asked about Lu Boyan and Su Jianan, Luo Xiaoxi cooperated fully. Candy thought that the title of that interview would not be “Lost with the champion, Luo Xiaoxi announced to return” as she originally thought, but “Luo Xiaoxi returned, responding about her friend Su Jianan’s emotional situation.”

But Luo Xiaoxi’s final frankness not only made the atmosphere at the scene relaxed and natural, but also made herself the protagonist again. Her comeback and emotional experience would soon become the headlines of major websites. In contrast, Lu Boyan and Su Jianan’s materials were not that important anymore.

Candy didn’t know if Luo Xiaoxi was smart or if her personality always made her clumsy.
