"Yes, but there's no need for them to know that. Let me clarify this: if this doesn't happen soon, rumors might start circulating online tomorrow that we have a child."
Qin Yulong nodded: "Didn't you post a clarification update last time? Just repost it again."
"Perfect! This way I don't need to edit the text. Let me look for it..."
Wen Yan quickly opened her social media account's homepage, scrolled down to find the clarification post she had made a few months ago, and reposted it with the following text:
"There's no rekindling of old flames; it's just some people bringing up old issues. When you spread this rumor, didn't you consider that every time you put me in the spotlight, you're just increasing my popularity? I don't think that's your intention, so please think twice! Otherwise, it will only backfire!"
As soon as Wen Yan posted her update, her fans rushed over.
"Haha, that's hilarious! It's true. Every time her popularity wanes a little, there are always people rushing to get her trending again. It really happens every single time, without exception!"
'What do you call this? Haha, trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead? Or just doing all the work for someone else?'
"It's like they tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead. Every time, it feels like they paid a huge price, both in time and money, but in the end, my sister always escaped unscathed."
'If that's the case, then suddenly I think being criticized occasionally isn't so bad; it saves the team money on publicity and eliminates the need to spend money on trending topics.'
So, is Yan Yan going to take the "black-and-red" route (become famous through controversy)?
'No, no, no, it wasn't that I actively chose to become infamous; I was forced into it.'
"I'm dying of laughter, I'm dying of laughter! Did you see that Xu Letian fan? Didn't you want to replace your idol with a top star? Didn't you think Yan Yan's status wasn't high enough? Come on, if you do this a few more times, Yan Yan will be a top star in no time!"
"Hey upstairs, it's best not to mention other people's names in Yan Yan's comment section, and don't start arguments. You're easily causing a fight."
Not long after Wen Yan posted her update, Qin Yulong followed suit with her own.
"This is merely the legal representative; the relationship with Wen Yan is a business partnership. Please be aware."
Her tone was very businesslike, unlike Wen Yan's, which was filled with personal emotion.
But netizens don't care.
"Understood, Miss. We look forward to seeing you and the beautiful Wen Yan work together well!"
'Young lady is indeed young lady, even her tone is so cool, but she's not like that when she blows her eyes at Miss Wen Yan.'
'Okay, okay, it's just a working relationship, like sisters. Could you post more of your daily life when you have time?'
Qin Yulong glanced at them but ignored the comments.
He then said to Wen Yan, "That's enough for now. It's time to rest. I'll keep an eye on the online activity these next few days. Just focus on filming."
Wen Yan nodded: "Okay."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xu Letian sent him a message.
Qin Yulong caught a glimpse of his name and asked Wen Yan, "What did he say?"
Wen Yan opened the message and glanced at it: "He apologized to me for the behavior of his fans, and said that he wanted to treat me to lunch tomorrow, asking me what I liked to eat, and that he would have his assistant buy it for me."
Qin Yulong nodded: "He's quite polite, but unfortunately some of his fans are too difficult to deal with. I'll head back now. I probably won't be able to come tomorrow. Call me if you need anything."
"Know."
After seeing Qin Yu out of the room, Wen Yan continued chatting with Xu Letian for a few more minutes.
Xu Letian insisted on treating Wen Yan to a meal to apologize.
Wen Yan refused: 'No need. You didn't spread the news online, so you don't need to apologize to me.'
Xu Letian: 'How can that be? It's true that my actions have caused you trouble, and I'll feel guilty if I don't do something. Please give me a chance to make up for the fans' mistake.'
Wen Yan: "Really, it's not necessary. You can't be responsible for every single thing your fans do. If that were the case, with so many fans, you wouldn't need to work every day. Okay, that's all for now. It's getting late, let's all get some rest. We have to get up early tomorrow!"
After several rounds of back and forth, Wen Yan finally put down her phone.
But to everyone's surprise, the director invited Wen Yan to lunch the next day at noon.
Wen Yan went over and saw that Xu Letian and two other actors were also there.
Not only that, there were several of her favorite dishes on the table. She didn't know if it was a coincidence, because those dishes were quite common.
However, Wen Yan soon found out the answer.
During the meal, Xu Letian took the initiative to put food on her plate, saying, "I'm really sorry about what happened online. I specifically asked your assistant about your favorite dishes. Here, have some more."
Wen Yan was both amused and exasperated: "So, did you organize this gathering at noon today? Didn't I tell you last night that I didn't need it? Look at you, putting in so much effort."
"Don't worry about it! Isn't it normal for actors and directors in the same production to eat together? When I was filming on other sets, we often had meals together too. It's just that you kept refusing yesterday, and I was worried you were angry."
"No!" Wen Yan explained, "I'm really not angry. And even if I were angry, I wouldn't blame you. There's a reason for everything."
Wen Yan felt that Xu Letian was being a little too polite.
They were so polite that she couldn't handle it.
During the meal, he kept pouring drinks and serving food, making her feel embarrassed to just bury her head in her food and she had to chat with him from time to time.
As a result, the crew posted photos of their lunch gathering online that evening.
Xu Letian and two other actors also followed suit and posted photos of their dinner party.
