She straightened her slender back slightly, as if making a gentle vow: "Please wait until I finish this month's Miss Hong Kong pageant before making any plans. Thank you all for your help." After saying that, she nodded slightly, with an impeccable polite smile on her face.
This airtight and clearly stated position clearly wasn't the juicy story or explosive announcement the paparazzi were looking for. A flicker of disappointment crossed their faces, but their professional instincts quickly redirected their keen senses to a new angle. Liu Rumeng said no more. Under the strict escort of two black-clad TVB bodyguards who had arrived upon hearing the news, she swiftly made her way through the crowd and disappeared behind the revolving glass doors of the TVB building.

The air was thick with the excitement of turning gossip into headlines. No one cared about the truth anymore. Liu Rumeng's words, "We'll talk after the game," had been dismantled into countless pieces, each one enough to construct a compelling story, further fanning the flames of the "war" between her and the two young tycoons, which was not entirely real but was being talked about by everyone.
