Su Jiu was stunned. “Huh? Why do you ask? He and I are just co-actors.”
“But then why did the internet say that you two are in a relationship?”
“What?” Su Jiu was even more shocked.
“It’s at the top of the trending searches. Didn’t you know?”
She shook her head. “I didn’t.”
She had been filming her scenes seriously. When she had time, she would study her upcoming lines. She hardly had time to flirt with the little villain. How could she have the mood or time to pay attention to what was happening online?
Somehow, she had been involved in a scandal with Xia Yi.
These paparazzi are everywhere.
Wait a minute! If a scandal about me and Xia Yi became the number one trending topic, the little villain should have found out too, right?
Would he be angry, thinking there was something between me and Xia Yi?
Su Jiu felt that she had to explain the situation to him. She didn’t want to risk it. What if he misunderstood?
With that in mind, she hurried to the side and took out her phone to call Rong Si. After a moment, he answered.
Su Jiu pouted. “Rong Si, what are you doing? It took you so long to answer my call!”
Rong Si remained silent.
Su Jiu’s heart tightened, and she quickly said, “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“I don’t want to talk about it.” Rong Si sounded uncomfortable.
Su Jiu knew something was up the moment she heard it. He had probably seen the news online. Once again, she felt that the paparazzi were despicable.
She immediately explained, “Big Brother, did you see the trending searches on the Internet? Let me explain, alright? Nothing is going on between me and that Xia Yi. Don’t think too much. It’s just the paparazzi writing nonsense for attention.”
“Huh.” Rong Si sounded annoyed.
“The paparazzi really wrote it! Oh, right, I should go online and clarify the situation right now!”
“Clarify how?”
“To clarify that Xia Yi isn’t my boyfriend, of course. I’m not dating him.”
Rong Si was terse. “That’s not enough.”
Su Jiu choked and thought for a moment before saying, “Then I’ll reiterate that I have a boyfriend. We’ve been together a long time, and we’re planning to get married. Is that okay?”
Planning to get married?
When he heard this, Rong Si’s displeasure seemed to dissipate. He said in satisfaction, “Much better.”
Su Jiu was speechless.
Fine. It seems the little villain is quite easy to mollify.
“Where are you?” Rong Si suddenly asked.
“I’m still on set. I’ve just finished a scene, so I’m taking a break.”
“Have you eaten?”
“I did.”
Rong Si asked again, “What did you eat?”
Su Jiu knew he was concerned about her. She couldn’t help but laugh. “I’m having a packed lunch meant for the crew. It’s a nutritious meal with balanced portions of meat and vegetables. The director even ordered organic food. That should put your mind at rest, right?”
“Are you trying to say I’m naggy?”
She laughed again. “You really are like an old maid sometimes. But I like that in you. I like being cared for.”
She said it so bluntly that Rong Si coughed in embarrassment. “It’s only right that I care about you. It’s a boyfriend’s duty and responsibility.”
Su Jiu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She pretended to give him an order. “Then, you have to persevere!”
“I don’t think so.”
Su Jiu froze. “Why?”
Rong Si chuckled. “When I become a husband, I have the obligations and responsibilities of a husband, so you can’t insist.”
Su Jiu was speechless.
She immediately blushed, and her heart beat faster.
Ahhhhh, the little villain has really seduced me!
She wished she could marry him on the spot and make him her husband immediately!
