Huo Xiang frowned.
Lu Xia pushed herself up from the table and stood up. She picked up her mask and sunglasses to put them on. Then, she brushed past Huo Xiang as she walked out of the private room without even looking at him.
Huo Xiang turned around and went into a daze.
There was something weird about Lu Xia but he could not put his finger on it.
Huo Xiang shook his head before he walked out.

In just five days since Huo Xiang was accused of plagiarism, Huo Xiang lost thousands of fans. After the sudden plot twist when the truth came to light, he ended up gaining more than a few million more fans.
The hottest topic online was whether Phenom would disband or not. By now, everyone had come to know about the cracks among the band members, so it seemed unlikely for them to continue as a single unit.
At Chang Entertainment, inside Tong Yu’s office.
“Are you sure that you want to retire from the band?” Tong Yu looked at Huo Xiang. In reality, he was unsurprised by Huo Xiang’s decision.
“Uh huh,” replied Huo Xiang without the slightest hesitance.
Tong Yu leaned against the table and continued. “The company has decided to remove Xiang Nan from the band and have already found a more suitable drummer. The higher-ups want you to continue being the captain.”
Huo Xiang leaned against the couch with a cool and collected look on his face. “Nope. There’s no point staying with the band any longer.”
Tong Yu touched his chin and nodded in agreement. “Fine. I will respect your decision and let the company know.”
“Uh huh.”
Tong Yu removed a document from his drawer and handed it to Huo Xiang. “A sportswear brand manager has approached me. They want you and your little sister to do an ad together.”
Huo Xiang did not even look at the document and said, “Refuse them.”
Tong Yu raised his brow. “Why? They have agreed to the condition that your little sister won’t need to show her face. Also, they are paying quite well.”
Both Huo Xiang and Huo Yao had worn sportswear during the shoot of ‘Countryside Life With My Family’. They looked so cool that a lot of netizens had discussed it online. Hence, a sportswear brand came knocking on their doors with the opportunity.
“She’s not going to do it. She won’t be interested,” said Huo Xiang as he shook his head.
He knew his little sister best. She would definitely find it a bother.
Tong Yu glanced at him. “Why don’t I ask her once?”
“Can’t I do it alone?” Huo Xiang looked at Tong Yu. He had been an ambassador for many brands on his own.
Tong Yu could not help looking at Huo Xiang with a complicated expression on his face. “No can do. The company insisted that you do it together.”
Tong Yu paused before he continued. “Actually, I have already received calls from several brands asking for your little sister to do ads on her own.”
Although it meant how outstanding his little sister was, Huo Xiang could not help feeling demoralized.
“…”
“Ever since you appeared on Qu Yi’s ‘Countryside Life With My Family’, your image has collapsed. You don’t look cool at all. Also, you seem more like a little brother than an older one.”
Tong Yu even shook his head and tutted mockingly.
Huo Xiang: “…”
Tong Yu was the little brother. His whole family was little brothers.
“But this silly and cute image works well too. At least it helped you win a lot of mommy fans. I think that if anyone dares to smear you again, these aggressive mommy fans will rip those anti-fans to shreds.” Tong Yu smiled.
Huo Xiang looked at Tong Yu coldly. “I want to request a new agent.”
Tong Yu was flabbergasted.
“…”
