"Ah? I wasn't bullied. Sun Liuxu was just venting her anger. She wasn't aggressive towards me."

Qiao Shu shook her head, firmly objecting that she was being bullied.

"Sun Liuxu?"

"Yes, I heard that the owner behind it is Tianheng Entertainment, and she is a top actress, so no one can afford to offend her."

Qiao Shu spread her hands and laughed as she spoke. She blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Pei Shi'an and said, "Everyone has a sponsor. Mr. Pei, as my sponsor, shouldn't you help me vent my anger?"

Qiao Shu smiled coquettishly, and Pei Shi'an's eyes became darker as he looked at her.

"How is Qiao Qiao going to repay you?"

The sparkling cat eyes sparkled with light. She moved closer to Pei Shi'an, her breath spraying on his cheek, and she quickly kissed him on the lips.

"Well, this is payback!"

"That's it?"

Pei Shi'an chuckled, grabbed her slender waist, and kissed her lips hard.

After a long while, Pei Shi'an finally let her go. Their foreheads touched each other and they adjusted their breathing. The temperature in the living room rose by several degrees.

"That's too much! I'm still hungry."

Qiao Shu pouted her red lips and muttered something, her whole body going limp, partly because of the kiss and partly because of hunger.

"Haven't you eaten yet?"

"Well, in order to maintain that perfect figure and wear that slim dress, I certainly didn't eat anything. Now I'm starving."

Qiao Shu touched her stomach and felt not only hungry but also sleepy.

I've been very busy lately with announcements and promotions.

"Wait a minute, I'll make a phone call first, and then I'll cook you a bowl of noodles?"

"OK!"

Pei Shi'an dialed a number and said coldly, "I heard that Tianheng Entertainment has a star named Sun Liuxu? Who signed her? What are her resources like? Hmm...Okay, have them put her on ice for a while and distribute all their resources. Yes, teach her a lesson."

Qiao Shu was stunned by these words.

After Pei Shi'an hung up the phone, Qiao Shu asked in confusion, "Are you really going to teach Sun Liuxu a lesson?"

"Yes, how could this be fake?"

"But isn't she from Tianheng Entertainment? Even though you two are partners, can you really extend your hand to her?"

"Qiao Qiao, you really don't know anything about my strength."

Pei Shi'an came over and kissed her cheek, then stood up and walked towards the kitchen. "Wait a moment and eat some fruit. I'll cook you some noodles."

Qiao Shu chewed the strawberry in her mouth and said casually, "Okay."

After Pei Shi'an finished cooking the noodles and served them on the table, he wanted to call Qiao Shu to eat.

When I looked up, I saw that the petite one on the sofa had fallen asleep.

Smiling helplessly, Pei Shi'an carefully picked her up like a princess and carried her all the way back to her room. Seeing her cute sleeping face on the bed, he simply lay down next to her, stared at her for a while, and fell asleep with her.

For several days in a row, Qiao Shu was either filming or promoting a movie.

I originally thought that the scandal would fade away after a while, but I didn't expect it to get more and more intense.

Even during the movie promotion, there were radical fans who threw eggs at Qiao Shu, who calmly caught them and threw the eggs back, hitting the other person in the face. That funny scene is still being shared on social media platforms.

Qiao Shu was so annoyed by Pei Shi'an that she had no choice but to issue an official announcement on the platform.

Qiao Shu v: I already have a boyfriend, he is not in the entertainment industry. Huangfu Chengxiao and I are just friends and colleagues. Thank you for your attention. That’s all for now. Please pay attention to our upcoming movie "Longmen Yin" and the fantasy drama we are continuing to shoot. Thank you very much!

As soon as this information came out, it caused an uproar.

[Damn it! My goddess really has a boyfriend? She's not mine alone anymore?]

[The person above, forget it. This isn't just yours, it's all ours. Oh, forget it. Just one more person to protect me, Sister Qiao! What else can I do besides accept it?]

But who is Qiao Shu's boyfriend? She's actually been able to deny rumors of a relationship with a celebrity. Could this boyfriend outside the entertainment industry be even more handsome and impressive than the celebrity?

[Tsk! Do you guys never read gossip? There were rumors before that Qiao Shu was being kept, and now there's rumors that she's a super rich second-generation kid. But that news seems to have been deliberately covered up. Could it be that the guy is really powerful?]

[Haha, what's with your strength? I'm afraid it's just a bald head and a beer belly. I can't show it to anyone.]

Public opinion was in an uproar for a while.

Huangfu Chengxiao v: Qiao Shu and I are friends and there is no ambiguity between us. The recent rumors are all false news and have caused trouble to her. If someone deliberately spreads public opinion again, I will entrust a lawyer to send a letter!

Immediately afterwards, Huangfu Chengxiao also released the news.

[Why do I feel like I can hear a hint of doting in Huangfu Chengxiao's message? Could it be that he's in love but can't get it?]

One of the messages from a fan immediately received millions of likes.

I thought the matter had come to an end, but who knew Sun Liuxu would also jump out.

Sun Liuxu v: A lot of things have happened recently, which have caused me trouble. Many resources that originally belonged to me were suddenly divided up, and many advertising contracts were forced to terminate. The company does not allow me to publish these, and even temporarily confiscated my platform account usage rights. This time, I took advantage of their inattention to log in and publish this matter. I can only say that some people, the people behind the scenes are really capable!

This text was deleted just one minute after it was posted.

But in this short period of time, it was also screenshoted and forwarded by someone.

Everyone was guessing who the person Sun Liuxu was talking about was. In the end, everyone pointed the finger at Qiao Shu, who had recently announced her relationship.

They were all guessing who the man behind Qiao Shu was, but there was no evidence, and the paparazzi couldn't even reveal his face, so it was really frustrating.

"Qiao Shu, are you really not officially announcing Mr. Pei's identity? Everyone's guessing you're trying to trip up Sun Liuxu. Given her status, those words must have had quite an impact on you."

Mei Xinyan was in a state of great headache. "A lot of bad reviews are saying that you have bad character. You're a rookie, not even a second-tier star, yet you dare to criticize a senior. Those who post these bad reviews are basically big fans of Sun Liuxu, who are considered to be quite influential in the circle."

“Indeed, we did it.”

Qiao Shu admitted it very frankly, "As for Pei Shi'an's identity, let's talk about it later, at least wait until my movies and TV series are broadcast."

Mei Xinyan nodded in sudden realization, "Yes, if you had announced your relationship back then, you could have used the opportunity to build momentum. The movie and TV series would have definitely gained popularity and would have been a hit."
