“Of course not!” Cen Yu immediately retorted.

He felt like jumping off the table.

He found that as soon as he finished speaking, both Lou Baichuan and the two Yu brothers stared at him intently. He coughed and said, "The choice of who will appear on the variety show hasn't been decided yet."

“So that’s the plan,” Yu Jinheng said with a smile.

“That day, Sang Qianshan even brought Cen Yu to his house just to talk about this matter,” Yu Xinyu said.

really!

The idea immediately popped into Pei Zhe's and Lou Baichuan's minds.

That day, Sang Qianshan was photographed with Cen Yu, which was indeed related to the variety show.

However… Pei Zhe thought a little more deeply than Lou Baichuan. He didn’t believe that Sang Qianshan wouldn’t have noticed the paparazzi taking pictures of him, as the other party was known for being very sensitive to cameras.

Moreover, even if they couldn't find out, if Sang Qianshan really didn't want it, the paparazzi wouldn't dare offend the Sang family and publish this "homosexual scandal." The fact that it was published and not deleted clearly means that they had Sang Qianshan's tacit approval.

Was it a deliberate publicity stunt to get Cen Yu on a variety show?

Thinking about this, Pei Zhe suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be that his actions had inadvertently helped that bastard Sang Qianshan?

Cen Yu really didn't know why Yu Xinyu would suddenly bring up the topic of appearing on a variety show at this moment.

Could it be that he has already been impressed by Sang Qianshan? Seeing Pei Zhe reminds him of Sang Qianshan?

As he pondered this, he didn't expect Yu Xinyu to pull another big move. Yu Xinyu turned her gaze to Pei Zhe, who was quietly observing the situation.

"By the way, I heard from Xiaoyu this afternoon that you've been harassed by a stalker lately?"

Yu Xinyu looked completely innocent. "Are stalker children really that scary?"

"I almost mistook Xiao Yu for a stalker." He said with a smile, looking at Cen Yu with eyes full of dependence, "How could Xiao Yu be a stalker?"

broken!

Cen Yu really didn't expect Yu Xinyu to bring this up during dinner.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jinheng also looked at Pei Zhe, while Qiang Yuanqing was completely out of the loop, not understanding how she had missed so many things in just one afternoon.

Lou Baichuan calmly took a sip of water from his glass and carefully observed the group.

"A stalker?" Yu Jinheng seemed intrigued, his gaze shifting to Cen Yu and Pei Zhe. "What's going on here?"

Pei Zhe really couldn't afford to offend this powerful figure. Although he felt that Yu Jinheng probably didn't like Cen Yu, this was ultimately his problem... So he simply recounted what had happened that afternoon.

The bodyguard scene was deliberately omitted.

He thought the matter was over, but Lou Baichuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, saying in surprise, "Mr. Pei, how could you have forgotten something?"

"..." Pei Zhe cursed Lou Baichuan inwardly for meddling in other people's business.

However, he couldn't afford to offend the Lou family, so he could only force a smile and briefly explain the situation to the bodyguard.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jinheng seemed to be deep in thought, but simply smiled and said to Pei Zhe, "It seems you'll need to get a new bodyguard."

"Not only are his eyesight not very good, but his kung fu also seems to be lacking."

“Isn’t that right?” Yu Xinyu said, looking at his older brother. “What exactly makes Xiao Yu seem like a stalker?”

Yu Jinheng simply looked at Yu Xinyu, who had a smile on her face, without saying anything.

Seeing that the scene was truly terrifying, Qiang Yuanqing hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, "What's going on with this stalker? Why haven't you mentioned him before?"

Seeing that Qiang Yuanqing was willing to help him, Pei Zhe immediately said—

"He's a fan on Weibo."

He frowned as he said this, seemingly quite troubled by the matter.

The story is quite simple: Pei Zhe has a crazy fan who follows him wherever he goes. Even in the best-secured neighborhoods, this guy manages to sneak in.

Not to mention the film set and backstage.

He only knew that the man was a young man, but he didn't know what he looked like.

I occasionally receive calls from this person, but of course, these calls are untraceable.

Over time, Pei Zhe became somewhat neurotic from this person, which is why he acted impulsively when soaking in the hot spring earlier—of course, he said this to make an excuse for himself.

But I was indeed harassed quite a bit by this stalker.

After he finished speaking, the people at the table reacted in different ways. Cen Yu was surprised that Pei Zhe had such a big scoop. Yu Xinyu and Yu Jinheng didn't care at all. Lou Baichuan seemed to be listening attentively, but his eyes were only on Cen Yu beside him. Qiang Yuanqing was the only one who was supportive.

Cen Yu wished he could immediately pull out his phone and ask his only connection in the entertainment industry.

Let's see if Sang Qianshan knows about this.

In short, everyone ate the meal with different thoughts in mind.

Just as Cen Yu and Yu Xinyu were about to leave after dinner, Pei Zhe reappeared.

He sincerely apologized to Cen Yu and Yu Xinyu again.

Cen Yu genuinely didn't care about the matter, and Yu Xinyu smiled and said that it was good that the misunderstanding had been cleared up.

Since they had eaten quite a lot for dinner, Yu Xinyu suggested that the two of them simply walk back. Cen Yu didn't object, and the two walked along the road in the villa for a while.

Cen Yu looked at the moon overhead, while the surrounding paths were illuminated by faint lights.

At this moment, only the two of them were still walking outside in the entire villa.

“Husband…” Cen Yu suddenly felt Yu Xinyu walking behind him slowly approaching him and then wrapping her arms around his waist.

Yu Xinyu rested her face on Cen Yu's shoulder.

He held Cen Yu in his arms. If they were in a brightly lit place, he might have pretended to be a cuddly, dependent woman, but at this moment he had no interest in pretending at all.

He found the subtle glances and scrutiny he received from others at the banquet annoying.

He allowed the darkness in his heart to fester.

After a moment, he said to Cen Yu, "...Have you and my older brother already met?"

Cen Yu could feel Yu Xinyu's body pressed completely against his, with the other's entire weight almost pressing down on him. Yu Xinyu's arms were wrapped around his waist, making him feel inexplicably suffocated.

He was about to say something.

But he found that Yu Xinyu was holding him even tighter.

“…No.” Cen Yu decided to lie.

"Do you know my older brother?" Yu Xinyu asked again.

In the dim light, Cen Yu's skin was also pale. He reached out a hand and touched the tattoo on Cen Yu's abdomen from a distance. "I feel like you're very afraid of him."

"..." Who wouldn't be afraid of Yu Jinheng?

Cen Yu certainly remembered that he should not know Yu Xinyu's identity at this time, let alone who Yu Jinheng was.

He casually replied, "Why would I be afraid of him? I'm not afraid of him at all."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a coughing sound came from the other side of the path.

Cen Yu: "..."

He looked up and, sure enough, saw Yu Jinheng walking over from the side.

The other person put on another coat, and it's unclear how long they've been listening to their conversation.
