"Youyou, listen to me, you must admit your relationship with Xiao He!"
Cheng Hongwen pulled Xu Youyou aside, his tone serious.
Xu Youyou was startled, then quickly shook her head: "How can this be? My boyfriend is clearly—"
"Xu Youyou! Do you want to destroy everyone?!"
Cheng Hongwen gave a sharp shout, his eyes filled with coldness, which frightened Xu Youyou so much that she shrank back, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Your relationship will never be accepted by the public! You're both just starting out in your careers!" Cheng Hongwen took a deep breath. "If you don't think about yourself, think about your boyfriend!"
If Xu Youyou is only dating Xiao He, a newcomer, then at most people will scold Xu Youyou for being out of her mind and Xiao He for being a pretty boy!
But if it were to be in a relationship with Su Shengxi... both of them would be guilty of a capital offense!
Just then, Xu Youyou's phone rang. Seeing the number, her eyes lit up, and she quickly answered, "Axi! It's me—"
"Youyou, listen to me—"
The young man's voice across from her was gentle and soothing, carrying the power to calm one's anxiety and allowing Xu Youyou to quell her panic.
The purpose of the phone call was to get Xu Youyou to admit her relationship with Xiao He and shift public attention to Xiao He.
"Youyou, we have no way out. I really love you, and I don't want to see your relationship with someone else trending on social media, but Youyou, we have to think about our future..."
Xu Youyou's eyes were brimming with tears, her beautiful yet fragile face filled with confusion and helplessness.
"I, I..."
"long……"
Cheng Hongwen snatched the phone away: "I'll handle this. You just need to stay hidden for now!"
He then hung up the phone and coldly looked at the indecisive girl in front of him: "You don't need to get involved in this matter. I will handle everything for you. Just wait quietly for the public opinion to pass."
"As for Xiao He... he saved me..." Xu Youyou murmured.
"Hehe, he should thank us for making it to the trending topics this time. If it weren't for you, would he be so famous?" Cheng Hongwen said matter-of-factly. "He benefited from this incident. With your status as Xu Youyou's 'boyfriend,' he'll have a better chance of making it in the industry in the future."
"Youyou, in these relationship scandals, the man is the least hurt! As long as it doesn't cross the legal line, these things are just a romantic affair for male celebrities, but it's different for you female celebrities! After this, it will be a hundred times harder for you to climb the ladder than before!"
"Your image is already that of an innocent, naive girl. If you then act all love-struck, Xiao He won't look like a good person, and everyone will think you were deceived by him. You can then play the victim, and I'll help you transform your image, taking the route of a clear-headed, strong female lead. Don't they say that female celebrities mature after experiencing heartbreak? Then everyone will change their opinion of you—"
"Clap clap clap—"
Behind Cheng Hongwen, the sound of Xiao He clapping came from behind.
Both of them were startled and turned to look.
Xiao He leaned against the corner, staring at the two of them expressionlessly, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"That's great. I haven't even arrived yet, and you've already made all the arrangements for me."
Cheng Hongwen was caught red-handed by another party involved and was immediately embarrassed. But after the embarrassment, he immediately began to persuade Xiao He: "Xiao He, this is also a chance for you to become a hit. Think about it, if you honestly become an actor, how long will it take for the public to see you? With the identity of Xu Youyou's boyfriend, whatever you do in the future will have a basic audience base."
"Heh, you make it sound so noble, but isn't it all for your own benefit? You can't exactly say that the traffic refers to the haters who keep attacking me, can you?" Xiao He sneered, exposing Cheng Hongwen's facade.
Cheng Hongwen: "...I can sign you to Haohan Entertainment and give you an A-level contract. I also guarantee that as long as you can help Youyou get through this difficult time, I can give you a leading role in a major IP film, and even many more—"
"I'll say it again, I don't want to."
Xiao He stared at them intently.
