These days, which celebrity doesn't hide their relationship? Some even have secret marriages and children running around, but they don't dare to say it out loud.

But Shi An was different. Not only did he want to say it, he said it openly and confidently, always choosing the time when there were the most people around. It was as if he was announcing to the world that he was in a relationship.

Watching the live stream, Ruan Qingling's lips twitched. She looked at Ruan Qing'an, then back at the live stream: "They're all crazy..."

Did Shi An not consider how many fans he would lose?

Did he not consider the magnitude of this impact at all?

Ruan Qingling didn't expect that the backup plans she had prepared for Shi An and Ruan Qing'an hadn't even been used yet. First, she was threatened with mutual destruction by Ruan Qing'an and forced to become a coward. Shi An was even more ruthless and directly crippled her.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and Ruan Qingling's face turned rather ugly: "Alright, Ruan Qing'an, even in this situation, you still want to worry about me?"

"Then I won't bother you any longer, sister."

Ruan Qing'an smiled gently, and there was no trace of the crazy spirit that had once threatened to perish together with Ruan Qingling.

Ruan Qingling's face was completely distorted until Ruan Qingan left.

She slammed the things off the table, shattering them into pieces on the floor, and Ruan Qingling's face turned ashen: "Ruan Qingan!"

Although Ruan Qingling's situation was resolved, the live stream chat was still filled with shock and various opinions. Even after Shi An closed the live stream, the black screen was still flooded with comments, with all sorts of things being said.

"Ruan Qing'an, that name sounds familiar."

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! I know who it is! It's that girl who was the spokesperson for GK perfume with Shi An!"

"I remember now, she was Shi An's assistant!"

When the GK perfume ad became a huge hit, it not only made Shi An famous, but Ruan Qing'an's popularity was also no less than Shi An's. However, since she was not in the entertainment industry, neither Ruan Qing'an nor Qiming Entertainment wanted to cause trouble, so they suppressed the news.

Despite this, it was still uncovered, and after it was discovered that Ruan Qing'an was Shi An's assistant, a group of people started shipping them as a couple.

The barrage of comments featuring the memories of the dead brought back many people's memories.

"It really is! Holy crap!"

"It's come true! It's come true! The couple I shipped is actually real!"

"I was secretly married and had two kids when I first met my crush, and now there's someone who's officially announced it. Shi Ge is truly an A-lister, and a real man indeed!"

"I love this sense of security from confessing my love to the whole world!! Enough said, Miss Ruan Qing'an, I beg to be your soulmate!!!"

The live stream's chat was volatile and quickly stopped when the stream ended. Meanwhile, the internet was in an uproar over Shi An's situation, giving Qiming Entertainment's public relations department a major headache.

The manager immediately called Ruan Qing'an: "Mr. Ruan, what should we do about the news online!"

"How is the situation?"

"There are all sorts of opinions."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Qing'an closed his eyes briefly, his expression darkening slightly.

She was on her way home, and her most important task was to see Shi An. So she told the manager, "Control the public opinion and don't lose your composure. Ignore everything else for now."

"Okay, I understand."

The manager then hung up the phone, and in that short time, the online public opinion had changed dramatically again—someone found out Ruan Qing'an's identity and knew that she was the person in charge of Qiming Entertainment, and that Shi An had jumped ship to Qiming!

Fortunately, Shi An made his relationship with Ruan Qing'an clear during the live broadcast, which was quite open and honest.

This attitude, on the contrary, makes them seem insignificant.

...Even a decent person wouldn't openly confess their feelings to their sugar daddy!

Therefore, the impact is actually not that big. What kind of sugar daddy would be an assistant, running around like that? Many shippers have already shut down the keyboard warriors.

Unbeknownst to many, some people who felt Shi An was responsible were actually won over by his actions.

Seeing that the situation was very favorable, the manager then instructed his men to continue keeping an eye on things.

As soon as Ruan Qing'an hurriedly opened the door with her key and stepped inside, she was almost enveloped in a broad embrace. Even through the thin fabric of her clothes, she could feel the strong chest beneath her.

His large hand was pressed against her slender waist, almost enveloping her entire body.

"Brother Shi, you..."

Did you hear that?

Ruan Qingan was taken aback, then nodded slightly.

In fact, Shi An rarely showed his emotions so openly. He was always indifferent and self-possessed, as if he had no emotional fluctuations. Even the most intense emotions were hidden under his calm and cold exterior. He even kept his feelings to himself.

But what about now?

The emotions that had been hidden and restrained surged forth, engulfing Ruan Qing'an like a tidal wave. Such a possessive embrace was unlike him.

Even Ruan Qingan didn't expect this to happen.

But Shi An simply held her and sighed softly, "It's good that you heard it. I know you're watching me."

"But... Brother Shi, you're being too reckless."

Ruan Qingan stammered, "If public opinion gets out of control, if it affects you, how can that be allowed?"

"It doesn't matter."

Shi An paused, then said, "All I care about is our relationship."

Hiding a relationship? Secretly getting married?

Shi An never thought that way, and it's unfair to Ruan Qing An.

A series of delicate kisses landed on their cheeks, then slowly moved closer to their lips. This was their first kiss since the movie theater, but it was a true meeting of minds, and the unspoken understanding between them completely disappeared.

Their breaths mingled, and everything else was forgotten as they poured out their love for each other.

Her slender fingertips gripped his clothes tightly from behind.

Little by little, it leaves the creases of the nail, creating an atmosphere of ambiguity.
