Should we continue with Chapter 269?

Qi Xi, looking rather silly, pinched her thigh to make sure she wasn't dreaming again.

Otherwise, how could these beautiful dreams come one after another?

They kissed last night, and today Zhou Heran confessed his feelings to her.

Moreover, it's not like she's the one pursuing Zhou Heran. Even if it's a confession, shouldn't it be the one who's pursuing her who's confessing? How come it's all reversed now, and it's Zhou Heran, the one being pursued, who's confessing to her first?

But Zhou Heran seemed to know her little thoughts and accurately grasped her hand.

"Pinch me, this isn't a dream."

How could Qi Xi bear to pinch him? After feeling the warmth of his hand, she pounced on him and hugged Zhou Heran's neck.

At the same time, Zhou Heran wrapped his arms around her.

"Zhou Zhou, I... I'm so happy! My brain is completely blank right now, and I'm a bit incoherent, but... but since I'm the one pursuing you, it should be me who confesses to you first."

"Aren't we getting the order a little wrong? How about I pretend I didn't hear anything and confess to you again?"

Zhou Heran was amused by the little girl's words. He first let go of her hand and then cupped Qi Xi's face in his hands.

"I saw it all."

Qi Xi blinked blankly, puzzled: "What did you see?"

"I saw what you said about wanting to woo me and pursue me."

Qi Xi blushed instantly and stammered, "You...you actually saw everything?"

"Wait, so you replied with 'okay' twice not because of a network lag, but because you were responding to the two sentences I retracted?"

Zhou Heran chuckled and playfully flicked the tip of her nose. "Who told you my internet was slow?"

Fortunately, Zhou Heran felt that his two answers at the time were straightforward and contained a unique romantic flavor.

Unexpectedly, Qi Xi actually thought he had a network lag issue?

It's true that all romance is wasted on straight women.

Of course, Qi Xi couldn't betray her best friend, so she lied through her teeth: "I've never been in a relationship before, so I didn't know it was a setup. That's why you knew from the beginning that I was going to pursue you."

"No, I should say that you liked me from the very beginning, but you deliberately watched me clumsily pursue you, didn't you?"

Zhou Heran said, "How can it be clumsy? Our little Qi Xi has endless ways of pursuing people, and she has me completely infatuated. Her skills in pursuing people could definitely fill a book."

"Then all the single people in the world will be able to find a partner thanks to you."

Qi Xi proudly raised her chin. That's right, she doesn't make a move unless she does, and when she does, she's a force to be reckoned with.

"And this can be considered a little fun between us, a mutual understanding. Did you enjoy the process? Were you happy?"

I must say, even though we were still in the ambiguous stage at the time, just like watching a TV series or reading a novel, the tug-of-war during the ambiguous stage is the most exciting.

"Because it's you, I like you a lot and I'm very happy."

Anyone who sees her must call her the matriarch of the idol-chasing world, because she won over her idol and went from being a fan to becoming his sister-in-law.

Zhou Heran's eyes were filled with her smiling face. "You speak so sweetly, you must have a sweet tongue too."

"May I try some?"

Oh dear, how could you ask that? It's so embarrassing!

Although embarrassed, Qi Xi nodded faster than anyone else.

At first, Zhou Heran held Qi Xi's chin and kissed him, but gradually, the two rolled onto the bed.

While the two were lost in their kiss, their manager, who had been completely forgotten outside, waited for a long time but Zhou Heran did not come downstairs.

The internet is in an uproar right now, and the PR team is swamped.

The agent could only instruct the public relations team to control the comments for the time being. They let go of comments such as blessings and speculations, but they would report those comments that deliberately took the opportunity to smear Zhou Heran.

However, because the comments were being posted so quickly and in such large numbers—after all, to the point that Weibo crashed—there are very few people in the entire entertainment industry who can achieve such an incredible level of influence.

When the agent came to his door, it wasn't to confront him. After all, Zhou Heran had never followed the idol route; he had achieved his current success and status step by step through his own abilities.

Besides, he's almost thirty years old, and it's perfectly normal for him to be dating at that age.

Furthermore, Zhou Heran's family is truly wealthy. Even if he leaves the entertainment industry, he can still go home and inherit billions of dollars, just like in those domineering CEO novels.

So the agent is waiting for Zhou Heran to say something: whether this matter is true or not, and whether or not to make an official announcement online.

Of course, based on the agent's past experience, it's best not to make an official announcement.

Although Zhou Heran is known for his acting skills, he still has quite a few young fans who often call him "husband" in the comments.

For these female fans, once their idol makes an official announcement, they may not only unfollow but also turn against their idol, which is a troublesome situation.

After all, it only takes a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them.

Of course, the most important thing is the impact on Qi Xi.

Don't underestimate today's netizens; they can seize upon even the slightest clue and thoroughly uncover a person's background, family situation, and so on.

If they were to uncover her home address, phone number, or other private information, Qi Xi would really be in trouble.

This is what you have to go through and endure when dating a celebrity, especially a top-tier celebrity.

This is also the biggest reason why many celebrities in the entertainment industry are unwilling to go public with their relationships.

However, Zhou Heran's video from last night has been dug up, so it can be said that he has been thoroughly exposed. This matter is really difficult to resolve, which is why his agent is unusually anxious.

It seems that the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are.

Seeing that Zhou Heran hadn't come downstairs yet, the manager had no choice but to go upstairs to look for him.

"Zhou Zhou, have you two reached an agreement yet...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the agent was caught off guard and saw the two of them kissing passionately on the bed.

She quickly turned around and closed the door.

Oh dear, she and her PR team were so anxious their mouths were practically burning.

The person who caused this accident, however, was in no hurry at all and was still kissing so passionately that he treated cattle and horses like animals!

This job is impossible to do!

Qi Xi felt utterly humiliated and pushed against Zhou Heran's chest with a slight movement.

Were we just seen?

Zhou Heran was utterly shameless. "It's alright, Sister Hong won't tell anyone. Shall we continue?"

Although Qi Xi wanted to continue, there were still people waiting below, and business was more important, so she reluctantly said that they would continue next time.

Zhou Heran was almost overwhelmed by the cuteness of the little girl in his arms.

The regret on his face, as if he hadn't kissed her enough, made Zhou Heran reluctant to let go.

"Xixi, there's something I think we should discuss first."

Qi Xi sat up straight. "Go on."

"Would you be willing to make our relationship public?"
