Nan Xian debuted at twenty and became an overnight sensation. At twenty-three, at the peak of her career, she married He Mingxiao. Who knew that on their wedding night, Nan Xian would receive a con...

Chapter 36 Trending Topics

Nan Xian had just arrived home when her name and Xiao Jianfeng's name became trending topics.

The newly created hashtag #XiaoJianfengNanxianHavingLunchTogether# seems to be still fresh in people's minds, and it quickly jumped into the top three at a rate of several per second.

The photos accompanying the paparazzi's photos were also particularly intriguing.

In the first picture, Xiao Jianfeng tilts his head to look at Nan Xian, who shyly covers her face.

In the second picture, Xiao Jianfeng lowers his eyes and smiles softly, his brows relaxed.

In the third picture, Nan Xian's cheeks are slightly flushed, and her eyes are slightly wide open, looking very surprised.

Looking at these three photos alone, an uninformed person would think the two are very close.

There was even a subtle, ambiguous atmosphere between them.

Netizens immediately imagined a 30-episode melodramatic soap opera.

Of course, unsurprisingly, the fans of both sides also started arguing.

In the end, Xiao Jianfeng's fans, the "Kite" faction, overwhelmingly defeated the "Pumpkin Seed" faction. The square was almost flooded with comments like "[Stop trying to ride on my coattails, washed-up female celebrity!]", "[Divorced woman, don't get involved!]", and "[Take away innocent Jianfeng brother!]"

Nan Xian frowned as she watched, and couldn't help but click her tongue.

Paparazzi, oh paparazzi, should I say you have good eyesight or bad eyesight?

There was a real couple feeding each other sweetly just a few meters away, yet they insisted on taking pictures of her and Xiao Jianfeng...

She couldn't really respond to this, since Xiao Jianfeng was a much higher-profile celebrity than her.

If she actually responds, it will basically confirm the claim that she is "riding the coattails" of the situation.

There's no other way but to let it go.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jianfeng, who has never posted on Weibo or engaged in any online activities, has suddenly become online.

He even posted about it on Weibo.

[@Xiao Jianfeng: I ran into Xiao Nan at noon, and I offered to share a table with her for lunch. @Nan Xian: It was a pleasant chat with you; I look forward to collaborating with you.]

Two sentences, each a bombshell.

First of all, it wasn't Nan Xian who took advantage of Xiao Jianfeng; it was Xiao Jianfeng who took the initiative.

Secondly, the two are going to collaborate.

As a result, it went viral on social media again.

When the person in charge personally stepped in to refute the rumors, the previously arrogant kites suddenly stammered and dared not speak anymore, while the pumpkin seeds, who had been scolded for half an afternoon, immediately felt triumphant.

Seeing this, Nan Xian was afraid that they would start arguing again, so she quickly asked Ding He to contact a few big fans and remind everyone in the fan club and fan groups not to fight back, and to only mention the cooperation.

The forums quickly returned to calm, and the opposing fans saw the attitude of the Pumpkin Seeds. Several of Xiao Jianfeng's big fans who had previously stirred up trouble by criticizing Nan Xian for trying to gain popularity deleted their posts and apologized.

Nan Xian also received a WeChat message from Xiao Jianfeng.

[Zhu: I was filming this afternoon and didn't pay attention to the comments on Weibo in time. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused.]

Nan Xian quickly replied: 【I'm used to this kind of thing, teacher, don't blame yourself, blame the paparazzi, hahaha】

[Bamboo: Thank you for your understanding, but some of my fans were also irrational. They didn't know the inside story and spoke rudely to you. I also want to apologize to you on their behalf.]

[Zhu: I've discussed the role with the director, and he thinks your image is very suitable. However, you don't have experience in period dramas, so he'd like you to audition when you have time. Don't worry too much about the timing; this role's scenes are scheduled for later in the filming schedule, and shooting is expected to begin next month.]

Nan Xian checked her schedule; she was leaving the day after tomorrow to continue recording "Unveiling Ghost Stories," and she had two free days in between.

[Xian Shi Kan Hua: Is tomorrow morning okay?]

[Bamboo: Okay, do you need me to pick you up at the entrance of the film set?]

Recalling the awkward moment at noon that day, she quickly said, "No need to trouble you, teacher. I'll have Yao Mingke pick me up!"

As if on cue, Yao Mingke sent a message asking what was going on between her and Xiao Jianfeng.

Nan Xian then explained the whole story. Yao Mingke was very excited that the two of them could work together again. He immediately put his gossipy thoughts aside and made a phone call. The two of them then started discussing the script.

at the same time--

He Mingxiao stared at the chat box that hadn't received a reply for a long time, and the smile on his lips gradually tightened.

A photo of her and Xiao Jianfeng suddenly flashed through her mind.

What are they talking about? And why is she laughing so happily?

Are they... chatting now?

Because I was chatting with Xiao Jianfeng, I didn't see my own message?

Upon realizing this possibility, he suddenly stood up and paced anxiously around his desk.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Assistant Jiang was enjoying a bubble bath at home when a late-night phone call from her boss interrupted her leisurely time.

He glanced at the time and sighed.

"Mr. He, what are your orders?"

He Mingxiao said, "The photos you took last time can be used. Also, we can boost the popularity of the CP super topic. Find some netizens who can write and draw. Price is not a problem."

Assistant Jiang: "Okay, I've got it. Shall we do it now?"

“Hmm,” He Mingxiao paused, “Well done, your bonus will be doubled this month.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Assistant Jiang's slightly tired eyes lit up instantly like a 90-watt light bulb.

He said in a strong voice, "Yes, Mr. He, I guarantee that I will complete the mission perfectly!"

Ten minutes later, dozens of marketing accounts successively released several high-definition "leaked photos" of "Unveiling the Ghost Stories"—

Without exception, Nan Xian and He Mingxiao are in every single photo.

Previously, rumors circulated online that He Mingxiao had pursued his ex-wife all the way to the recording of a reality show, but because there was no evidence, not many people believed it.

After all, in most people's minds, how could a business tycoon like He Mingxiao possibly give up his work to pursue his wife?
