Shi Xi let out a breath.

I finally understand what the saying "giving someone a favor and they don't appreciate it" means.

Given Tang Yi's emotional intelligence, it's impossible that he didn't understand her cold response.

They're still pressuring her at every turn, and their ambiguous behavior towards her in public is deliberate.

Shi Xi smiled faintly and said, "I wanted to tell you that I already have a boyfriend."

You're so good to me, I'm afraid my boyfriend will get jealous.

Quiet.

Silence.

Tang Yi's lips twitched slightly, and her voice rose, "You have a boyfriend?"

Shi Xi's big eyes were full of innocence. "Is there a problem?"

Tang Yi gritted her teeth and forced a smile, "I thought you would prioritize your career and wouldn't be interested in dating."

"Career is career, and love is love. I can tell the difference." Shi Xi's eyes crinkled into a smile.

Tang Yi calmly pressed on, "Who is your boyfriend? Do I know him?"

Shi Xi declined, saying, "I haven't made it public because I don't want to bother him or let people pay attention to my relationship."

She entered the entertainment industry to make money!

It's not about letting people discuss my private life!

Tang Yi tried his best to calm himself down, stared at Shi Xi, and finally exhaled, "I didn't expect Miss Shi to already have someone she loves. I was too presumptuous."

Seeing that he (on the surface) had let it go, Shi Xi said, "It's nothing, we're all friends!"

Just increase the distance.

Seeing that things were not going well, the director quickly said, "We'll continue filming after the break. Shi Xi, are you ready?"

Shi Xi gave an OK sign, got up and walked away.

Others were secretly watching Tang Yi's expression.

Tang Yi simply remained calm, sat next to the director for a while, and then left.

The crew continued to whisper among themselves:

"I never expected Shi Xi to have a boyfriend. Who is he? Do you know?"

"No way, you're only finding out now? It's been rumored in the industry for a while now, right? Shi Xi is in a relationship, they just haven't made it public yet."

"What??"

"I think she's not in a relationship; she just doesn't want to have anything to do with that rich second-generation guy, and that's just an excuse she's making up."

"What's wrong with Mr. Tang? He's handsome, rich, and a real tycoon! He's also a sponsor of our production team."

"..."

There was all sorts of gossip and speculation on the set.

Fortunately, everyone kept things strictly confidential within the film crew, and no one rashly posted what happened today online.

It's fine if the discussion happens within the production crew.

If it's really posted online and gets discovered, then you won't be able to work in the entertainment industry anymore.

The consciousness of social animals.

Shi Xi thought that the matter was over.

After all, Tang Yi behaved quite gentlemanly.

But after she finished filming, she received a series of WeChat messages from Tang Yi.

Tang Yi: [Who is your boyfriend? How much does he earn in a year? Can he support you?]

Break up with him and be with me. I was serious about pursuing you; otherwise, I wouldn't have visited you on set twice and bought you tens of thousands of yuan worth of milk tea these past two days. I was sincere. Yesterday, I treated you to dinner and karaoke, spending over ten thousand yuan, all to make you happy.

"Here's what we'll do: come with me, and I'll give you 50,000 every month."

[Not enough? I'll give you 100,000 a month.]

Don't be too greedy.

[Not replying to me? Do you really think you're some kind of fairy? If it weren't for me, would you have gotten the endorsement for Fairy Taste? Believe me, I can pull your endorsement today, and also withdraw your production team's sponsorship.]

[...]

Shi Xi scrolled through the dozen or so WeChat messages the other party had sent, completely bewildered.

Huh?

What happened?

She recognized every single word, so why couldn't she understand what Tang Yi was trying to say?
