"Something terrible has happened!" Tang Suihe exclaimed dramatically, "You and Shao Wenyan went to the movies and someone took pictures of you!"

Before Yu Yunzhi could even speak after Tang Suihe finished speaking, he started pacing anxiously in circles.

Shao Wenyan, who was squatting on the ground changing Yu Yunzhi's shoes, paused and looked up to meet Yu Yunzhi's astonished gaze.

Xiaoyu originally wanted to hear what Tang Suihe was saying that would scare her to death, but after listening, she realized that he really wasn't lying to her, and she was truly about to ascend to heaven!

Tang Suihe's words were like a thunderbolt to the group of staff, and everyone immediately took out their phones to check the trending topics.

"Didn't I tell you to be careful, careful, and extra careful! Going to the movies together on the first day of the Lunar New Year is one thing, but the real problem is my little darling! You're not wearing a mask! Are you guys deliberately trying to make me anxious...?"

Tang Suihe muttered to himself, but Yu Yunzhi and Shao Wenyan acted as if they hadn't heard him at all.

Yu Yunzhi appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually panicking inside. She took out her phone and opened Weibo, and sure enough, her name was at the top of the trending searches.

Shao Wenyan pretended to be calm and continued to change Yu Yunzhi's shoes before standing up and walking behind her to look at the trending topics.

In less than a minute, he had already mentally gone through several ways to make the official announcement, figuring out how to minimize the damage to Yu Yunzhi...

Yu Yunzhi skimmed through the events, and after seeing the photos, she wasn't so panicked anymore.

Fortunately, Shao Wenyan wasn't in the photo; only she was, so everything was fine.

She didn't care, but she couldn't let Shao Wenyan get scolded because of their relationship.

After Tang Sui finished rambling, she calmed down and offered Yu Yunzhi and the others several options, letting them choose how to proceed.

Option 1: Make an official announcement directly.

Option 2: Let it cool down, neither admitting nor denying it, and netizens will forget about it in a few days.

Option 3: Refuse to admit it.

First of all, I don't recommend making the first option official now. First, the two of you are not of a matching status, and making an official announcement now would be very disadvantageous for you, Yunzhi.

Secondly, as you all know, official announcements in the entertainment industry generally have the biggest impact on actresses.

To be selfish, I don't want my artists to be criticized for dating, and Yunzhi, you haven't won the Best Actress award you wanted yet.

If it's officially announced, it will have some impact on your future acting career, especially since you don't yet have a major award to your name; the impact will only be greater then.

Secondly, option three won't work either. The bracelet you're wearing is already confirmed to be yours. Anything you say now would just be sophistry, and denying it would only discourage your fans.

Therefore, my top recommendation is option two: let it cool down.

Your silence, neither confirming nor denying, is not deceiving the fans. Right now, the fans have different opinions, and there's no concrete evidence of a relationship. The entertainment industry is full of truths and lies, and the fans can't be sure either.

As time goes by, the hype surrounding this matter will gradually fade, and another big scandal will emerge in a few days. Fans won't keep paying attention to this issue.

This incident can also be seen as a prelude, allowing you to gauge the fans' reaction to your relationship and prepare them mentally so that it won't seem abrupt when you officially announce it later.

Since there's no denial now, there's no deception involved. As for not admitting it when it was officially announced, fans would probably understand.

Tang Suihe's analysis was very insightful, clearly explaining the advantages and disadvantages from all aspects.

"Think it over carefully and give me an answer later."

Once Tang Suihe regained her composure, she was quite convincing. After saying her last words, she led the staff out of the lounge, leaving Yu Yunzhi and Shao Wenyan alone.

“Brother, I think Tang-ge is right. Now is indeed not a good time to go public. The fans are not ready to accept it yet. We need to gradually build up the groundwork so that the fans can slowly accept it…”

Yu Yunzhi has always been very clear-headed, knowing what to do at what time. She has a clear plan for her future, which she has always done very well.

The only thing that was unexpected was her relationship with Shao Wenyan, but she was quite pleased with it.

Most importantly, she wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, not be a parasite that only depended on him for survival.

Yu Yunzhi had always known that Shao Wenyan was possessive. Although he had never said it outright, he had always wanted her to give him a formal title, but now was not the right time.

Yu Yunzhi spoke fluently, completely unlike her earlier taciturn demeanor in front of Tang Suihe, using every possible excuse to elaborate on her reasons.

"I respect Zhizhi's choice."

While Yu Yunzhi was racking her brains for an excuse, Shao Wenyan couldn't bear to see her going through so much trouble to find a reason to explain herself to him.

They are a couple, not colleagues, so there's no need to be so clear about everything.

Shao Wenyan spoke these words very seriously and solemnly; it was clear at a glance that he wasn't saying them just to avoid putting Yu Yunzhi in a difficult position.

That's exactly what he thought. Although Shao Wenyan really wanted to go public and tell the world that they were dating and that he belonged to her alone!

But more than these things, more than titles, he cared about Yu Yunzhi's thoughts and choices. In any case, he would always be behind her, and she could just keep moving forward.

"I'm sorry, brother..."

Although Shao Wenyan did not show any unhappiness, Yu Yunzhi still felt very apologetic.

We've been together for so long, and I know he's always wanted a formal title, but I've never been able to give him one.

Yu Yunzhi is truly sorry about this, but considering various factors, handling it quietly is indeed the best approach right now.

"Baby, you don't need to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong, did you? I was too impatient. There's plenty of time. We'll take it one step at a time."

Shao Wenyan's voice was warm and gentle as he soothingly stroked the head of the little girl who had her head bowed and buried in his waist. He could feel her low spirits.

He wasn't the only one who couldn't publicly express his disappointment; she was also feeling terrible, wasn't she? Especially since she was the protagonist of this trending topic, she had to bear even more.

Their love was always mutual; it was precisely because he knew she loved him that he could better understand her decision not to make it public.

Female celebrities always suffer more malice in their relationships than their male counterparts.

Shao Wenyan also wanted to take this opportunity to gradually give his fans some hints so that they would accept his relationship and have less malice towards Yu Yunzhi in the future.

"Have you thought it through?" When Tang Suihe came in again, Yu Yunzhi had already composed himself.

"Alright! We've decided to go with option two, Tang-ge."

"Okay! Then you need to minimize your public appearances during this period, especially no sneaking out on dates!! No sneaking out on dates! No sneaking out on dates! I'm saying it three times because it's important!"

"Okay, Tang-ge, you're so long-winded!"

"If I don't say more, will you remember? Before filming, I reminded you several times to be careful and not to develop feelings for each other while filming. What did you do?"

"Hehe~" Yu Yunzhi knew he was in the wrong, so he gave an awkward chuckle.

"Alright, go change your clothes! I've already arranged a car to take you back. You two don't need to drive. There are reporters outside, it's not safe for you two to be alone."

Okay~
