Chapter 131: Falling in love with someone else?
Someone once said that Big Bang is the idol of the whole nation. Of course, this statement is a big exaggeration, but when it comes to boy bands with the most diverse fan base, Big Bang is definitely in the top three. G-Dragon's fans, in particular, are from all walks of life, including singers, actors, hosts, models, directors, screenwriters, etc. National athletes and world champions are also veterans of his fan club. It is rumored that a princess from a certain country is also his veteran fan. His charm is simply invincible and invincible. He looks like Tom Su. So when a girl who claimed to be his fan, who was not bad-looking and looked like someone from the entertainment industry, asked G-Dragon for an autograph, G-Dragon was not surprised. Without even seeing her clearly, he lowered his head to sign for her and hurried away. Anglababy, with her long flowing hair, stood behind him and watched him hurriedly leave. Holding the autograph she had finally obtained, she felt a mixture of emotions. Of course, she was happy and excited, but disappointed that she didn't even say a few words to the other party. Even if they didn't keep in touch in the future, asking for contact information would be quite comforting, wouldn't it?
G-Dragon was really busy tonight and had no time to guess what some girls were thinking. He handed over some things to his teammates backstage and quickly rushed back to the scene. Due to stage requirements, the other people would not show up before the performance, but Big Bang still had at least several awards to win, so G-Dragon could only run between the front and backstage.
At the 2012 MAMA Awards, Big Bang won four major awards and became the biggest winners of the night. Because Big Bang and others were the most popular, winning the awards was well-deserved. Finally, the group award was presented by Brother Chen Long, who is very famous in Asia and even the world. Not only the awards were eye-catching, but Big Bang's performance at the MAMA Awards was also wonderful, and their stage charm was unstoppable. When they sang and danced on the stage, they led the audience to keep up with their rhythm and dance steps. The whole atmosphere was pushed to the highest point by Big Bang.
After all three major awards were presented, the MAMA Awards Ceremony also came to an end. After the awards ceremony, there was a celebration banquet arranged by the organizer. In theory, all the artists present had to go. Of course, some artists with less presence could choose not to go. But if Big Bang didn't go, not only would the media accuse them of being arrogant, but even the organizer would lose face. Big Bang thought that they were not that arrogant yet, and they could still have fun with the organizer.
Under the flashing lights, celebrities came out of the venue one after another, got into luxury cars, and headed to the location of the celebratory party.
Bigbang also felt like a duck in water at the celebration party. After all, they were all familiar faces in the circle, so they soon found their respective friends and went their separate ways. Quan Zhilong greeted everyone he knew and didn't know, took photos with them, and then sat down in a corner with a glass of wine. Although Jingrong said there was no need to call back, he was still a little worried. He thought he was overthinking it, what if Jingrong stayed up all night to watch the live broadcast? However, after a few rings and no one answered, Quan Zhilong finally gave up and hung up, and sent a text message instead. Of course, no one replied. Quan Zhilong leaned back on the table and chair, one hand supporting his forehead, looking down at his phone intently. Because there would still be reporters in such occasions, they didn't remove their makeup. This expression of looking down and pouting lips was quite charming from a distance.
G-Dragon was looking at his phone when he suddenly noticed the seat next to him was occupied. Thinking it was someone he knew, he looked up and smiled at the person. However, he was a little confused when he saw the person. "Excuse me..."
Before G-Dragon could finish, the girl smiled, dimples faintly visible on her sweet cheeks. "Hello, GD xi, I'm anglababy. I asked you for an autograph before!"
Although Quan Zhilong couldn't remember who it was, he seemed to suddenly realize: "Oh, it's you. Sorry I didn't remember it just now."
"It's okay." Anglababy's smile was still sweet. She was probably a little excited in front of her idol, and her cheeks were flushed with fans. She glanced at Quan Zhilong's phone and asked, "GD xi, am I not disturbing you by sitting here?"
Quan Zhilong calmly put away his phone and smiled politely: "Please feel free."
Although they were not familiar with each other, they had something to talk about when they sat together. Anglababy quickly acted like a qualified fan, holding her phone and enthusiastically asking for photos with G-Dragon. After taking a few photos, G-Dragon felt a little overwhelmed and found an excuse to leave. Seungri rarely flirted with beautiful women, but instead sat with Taeyang and chatted properly. When G-Dragon saw them, he walked over. Seungri immediately winked at him: "Oh my god, brother, you are already taken and have announced your death, how come you still have endless romantic encounters!" As he said that, his eyes seemed to flicker to Anglababy who was sitting on the other side and chatting with three or two people.
Quan Zhilong took a sip of his wine and said, "Don't talk nonsense. She asked me to sign an autograph before, and just now she just asked me to take a few photos."
"Didn't she ask for your contact information?"
"Do you think everyone is like you?" Quan Zhilong rolled his eyes at him, and Seungri immediately said in a weird tone, "Of course not, brother, I'm not interested in you!"
G-Dragon's face was immediately filled with black lines. After watching them finish their happy chat, Taeyang said, "But Seungri really shouldn't say anything nonsense this time. That girl's name is Anglababy, and she has a boyfriend who she's in a very good relationship with. It should just be a simple interaction between fans and idols."
As soon as Taeyang said this, G-Dragon and Seungri's eyes immediately focused on him. Understanding what they meant, he explained, "When I saw her walking towards you, Ji-Dragon, I asked the person next to her."
"So that's why you're not in a hurry at all and just let the beautiful girl hit on Jiyong?"
Shengli's words were too easy to let people have wild thoughts. Taiyang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Why should I be in such a hurry?"
"I'm worried about my sister-in-law. Don't think I don't know. My sister-in-law trusts Brother Zhilong so much because you are by her side!" Shengli said proudly, as if nothing can escape his eyes.
Quan Zhilong looked at the sun thoughtfully: "When did you betray, Yongbae?"
"Is that how the word mutiny is used?"
"How else can we use it?" The former childhood sweethearts seemed to have reverted to their childish ways, arguing with such a lack of technical skills. Seungri, feeling deeply embarrassed, immediately interrupted their conversation, which had already veered off into language, and said pointedly, "Actually, Taeyang is a double agent. He's definitely keeping an eye on both sides. If your sister-in-law did something to wrong you, Taeyang wouldn't just blindly cover it up, so there's no need to be sad, Jiyong!"
When Seungri wasn't being so sloppy, his words actually made sense. G-Dragon could tell when he was serious and when he was joking, so even though his expression didn't change, G-Dragon actually agreed with Seungri's point. After the joke, G-Dragon and Taeyang had a drink together, then put his arm around his shoulder and casually asked, "Did Jingrong say anything to you when we came to Hong Kong?"
Taiyang's eyes flashed, and he was about to ask him "Why do you ask that?", but when the words came to his lips, he changed them to "What do you think?"
Taeyang tried hard to act inscrutable. G-Dragon's eyes searched his face for a moment, and finally, he leaned on his shoulder with a smile: "If I could guess it, would I need to ask you? By the way, get up early tomorrow and pack up some local specialties before you go back home."
"You want to buy it yourself?"
Quan Zhilong nodded: "That's how it shows sincerity."
"Did Jingrong specifically request it?" Taiyang asked, then added, "That must be it. She's the only one in your family who loves Chinese food."
"Yeah, she hasn't had a good appetite lately. She finally got some food that she specifically asked for, so bring as much as you can."
When Quan Zhilong said this, Taeyang frowned. "She's too thin, don't you think? It's already three months, and there's no sign of pregnancy. Is this the case for all other pregnancies?"
Quan Zhilong shook his head. "No matter how much she eats, she can't gain weight. She's even lost two pounds. I don't know what to do. I can't force her to eat even if she can't, can I?" Quan Zhilong sighed, his tone full of obvious heartache. "The doctor said it was because she didn't take good care of herself during the early stages of pregnancy. She refused to eat or drink during that time, and her body is losing weight quickly. Now we can only take care of her slowly."
Taeyang and G-Dragon chatted for a short while before being interrupted. After exchanging pleasantries with a group of people across from them, they all dispersed. G-Dragon was a little bored, and soon he emerged from the crowd again, finding a seat in a corner where he could sit alone, concentrating on his phone. Suddenly, a dark shadow descended, accompanied by the scent of perfume lingering around his nose. G-Dragon looked up and met Anglababy's sweet smile. G-Dragon tilted his head back slightly and distanced himself from her. Anglababy also straightened up and sat next to him with a smile, "GD xi, are you slacking off here alone again?"
Quan Zhilong smiled faintly and said, "Just taking a break."
"That's right, you guys worked hard today." Anglababy gave a thumbs up and said, "The performance tonight was wonderful!"
"Thank you for the compliment."
"By the way, were you looking at the map of Hong Kong just now?" Anglababy leaned back in his chair and asked casually.
"Um."
"Are you looking for something?"
Quan Zhilong said succinctly: "Specialty food."
Anglababy's eyes lit up and she smiled, "I'm familiar with this. If you don't mind, I'll take you there tomorrow?"
"That's too troublesome." G-Dragon shook his head.
"No problem. I'll be in Hong Kong for another day tomorrow anyway. I've personally tried and compared many restaurants, and I guarantee they're the most delicious!"
Quan Zhilong's eyes lit up and he said, "How about this, please give me the name and address of the store, and I'll go there myself tomorrow so I won't bother you."
Seeing that G-Dragon was so persistent, Anglababy had to give up regretfully, nodded, then took out her mobile phone to tag G-Dragon. The two of them huddled together, talking and laughing, and from a distance it seemed like they were having a great conversation.
After receiving the guidance from the "expert", G-Dragon naturally hurried to express his gratitude. He was worried that he didn't have enough time, but now he has this information, he should be able to get it done quickly. Of course, Anglababy, who got the idol's contact information as she wished, was also satisfied. After one thanked and the other declined for a while, Anglababy asked with a smile: "You have found such comprehensive information about GD Xi, it shouldn't be just for you to taste, right?" She knew Big Bang's schedule and they would return to Seoul at noon tomorrow at the latest. Looking at G-Dragon's small body, it is impossible for him to eat so much at once.
Quan Zhilong nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, my girlfriend likes Chinese food, but unfortunately she doesn't have time to come with me, so she asked me to take back whatever I can."
"You took everything you could pack? No wonder you prepared so thoroughly." Anglababy said exaggeratedly, and gestured to let G-Dragon know that he would have a lot of things. Then, half surprised and half envious, she said, "But from this, it can be seen that GD Xi is really good to his girlfriend. You must like her very much, right?"
G-Dragon pursed his lips and smiled. Generally speaking, if there is no denial, it means acknowledgment. Anglababy also knew this, so she smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter even if you can't finish packing. She will definitely know that you tried your best."
G-Dragon nodded and thanked him again, and the celebration party was spent among a group of people who were indiscriminately taking advantage of the situation.
Obviously, the awards that Big Bang won at the MAMA awards ceremony were well-deserved, but the media reports the next day downplayed the awards they won and instead focused on the gossip about Big Bang leader G-Dragon's "falling in love with someone else", making it seem as if last night's MAMA awards were an upset.
This is the consequence of offending the media. No matter what, they can always fabricate some false accusations against you. Besides, G-Dragon's performance last night was not impeccable. Many people saw him and anglababy chatting happily at the celebration party. Anglababy was so happy and excited that she uploaded the photos and her thoughts to Weibo when she got home that night, which immediately attracted a large number of fans.
If the media hadn't been full of bad intentions and deliberately misleading people to think that G-Dragon and Anglababy were acting ambiguous last night, in fact, Anglababy's behavior would not be a big deal. Everyone has the right to chase stars. Anglababy took a few photos to express her excitement. Fans who couldn't take photos with their idol would at most feel jealous, and would never curse at Anglababy on a large scale under his Weibo.
Regardless, the news that Big Bang's leader, G-Dragon, had fallen in love at first sight with Chinese artist Anglababy at the MAMA Awards spread rapidly from Hong Kong, reaching Asia in just two hours. Many fans in South Korea were also thrilled. Of course, their excitement wasn't based on believing G-Dragon had fallen in love with someone else. They'd seen the photos, and even his smile was so reserved – how could he have fallen in love at first sight with this woman? Besides, he had just announced his upcoming marriage to Jingrong on the red carpet the previous night, and now there was another rumor about him falling in love with someone else. It was like he was just slapping himself in the face!
Well, when journalists write news, they never consider the issue of science or not. As long as there are people who like to read it and there is a market, no matter how ridiculous or absurd it is, they will publish it. In short, they can be as shameless as possible. Such people will be even more ruthless when dealing with artists they don’t like. This is also the reason why many artists would rather swallow their anger than confront the media head-on. No matter how well you perform, they can still make things up. What’s more, if you make a mistake, you may be taken advantage of by the reporters who are eyeing you. They are definitely typical people who will take advantage of you when you are sick!
Perhaps the media knew that such news wouldn't significantly impact G-Dragon's reputation, but it certainly did the trick of disgusting him. According to reports, the president's girlfriend was a proud, high-flying young lady. How could she possibly tolerate this if she found out her boyfriend had left her and was hooking up with other women? — Indeed, the media's goal was to undermine G-Dragon and Jingrong's relationship. They insisted that G-Dragon, and even Big Bang, had the guts to turn their backs on them because of his wealthy and powerful girlfriend. If they severed their relationship, wouldn't it be easy to deal with G-Dragon later?
It's simply insane.
The media had made every possible effort, but they hadn't anticipated that Jingrong, the person involved, would remain as calm as a bystander. So many fans from around the world went to her Twitter feed to comfort her and urge her not to overthink things. The VIPs were highly unanimous this time, all believing that it was Anglababy herself who was flirting with G-Dragon, and that G-Dragon was only being polite out of respect, but that further contact would definitely be off the table. After all, G-Dragon loves Jingrong to death and would definitely not fall for someone else. Fans weren't satisfied with simply comforting Jingrong; they went to Anglababy's Weibo and started hurling insults at her, spewing out all sorts of nasty words like "wanting to be the third party" and "shameless." She was a stark contrast to her previous image as a kind and angelic woman; she transformed into a shrew in an instant without any pressure.
When Quan Zhilong first saw the news, he was afraid that Jingrong would overthink it, so he immediately called back to explain. After he finished speaking, Jingrong finally understood the whole story and asked with a half-smile, "So you are trying to cover up your mistake?"
Quan Zhilong was stunned, not knowing whether Jingrong was angry or not. He quickly explained without caring about anything: "No, honey, you are wronging me again! I am afraid that you will think too much, so I hurried to explain it to you."
"It's just a few photos, what would I think?" Jing Rong's tone softened a little, and then he asked, "Have you done everything I asked you to do?"
"How can it be that fast? I just got up and will go right away!"
"Well, what time is the flight?"
"One in the afternoon." Quan Zhilong's eyes lit up. He was in a slightly depressed mood before, but immediately he was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. "Honey, do you want to pick me up at the airport?"
"It depends on my mood."
G-Dragon immediately said considerately, "I'll send you the flight information right away!"
Jingrong paused, but didn't refuse. After Quan Zhilong hung up the phone, he took his wallet and walked out. Taiyang was leaning against the doorway, looking at him with a smile: "Did you talk to Jingrong on the phone?"
Quan Zhilong nodded, and Taeyang asked again: "Does she care about this scandal?"
"If I hadn't told her, she wouldn't have known." G-Dragon was a bit amused, "She even thought I was being too coy and that I had to explain such a small thing to her because I felt guilty."
Taeyang imagined Jingrong's calmness and Quan Zhilong's helplessness and speechlessness, and laughed out loud. Quan Zhilong glanced at him coldly: "Yongpei, I think you have become more naughty lately?"
"No!" Taiyang shook his head quickly, then put his arm around his shoulder and smiled, "Actually, Jingrong definitely minded, but she's always been proud. Now that you've explained it so clearly and in such a nice manner, she definitely can't bring herself to say she's petty and minded anymore, so she's pretending to be so righteous and indifferent—it's not like she hasn't done this kind of thing before anyway."
G-Dragon thought about it and nodded: "You're right." The smile on his face became brighter. He was not afraid that Jing Rong would mind his scandal, but he was afraid that if he got close to other women, she would not even blink an eye. Otherwise, he would not be sure whether she really loved him.
G-Dragon, with his bright smile, didn't notice the flash of emotion in Taeyang's eyes. Taeyang clenched his hands slightly, unsure if this was the right thing to do. This wasn't the first time he'd subconsciously covered up for Jingrong. But if his and Ji-Dragon's suspicions were correct, how would he face his friend then?
The plan provided by anglababy was very specific and comprehensive. G-Dragon and Taeyang, along with their assistants and drivers, were ready to go. When they returned to the hotel with a full load, the others had just gotten up. They had lunch together and then got in the car to drive to Hong Kong International Airport.
Although the scandal did not cause any adverse effects between Jingrong and G-Dragon, its impact on the outside world continued. The media and Anglababy were scolded by angry fans. Under pressure, Anglababy deleted her Weibo post, but issued a statement, which roughly meant that she simply admired G-Dragon and had no improper thoughts, and asked fans not to attack people like crazy.
This explanation is a bit infuriating. Of course, anyone would be angry if they were inexplicably scolded like this. Although Anglababy's words were a bit harsh, it is actually understandable if you think about it carefully. However, as the targets of her angry accusations, the VIPs were even more angry. If they had no improper thoughts about her, why did they pester her all night for photos, autographs, and chats? Even if they were pestering her, they should have kept it to themselves. They had to post these photos to make a name for themselves. Don't you know that she has a girlfriend and is about to get married? Don't you know that this behavior will easily lead to misunderstandings from her girlfriend? If you are a bitch, don't pretend to be a saint! After all, there is nothing wrong with being a fan, but Anglababy shouldn't have pestered G-Dragon and posted photos of them at night. Of course, at other times, they would only be proud of their idol's boundless charm. Even Anglababy, who was once known as the "Otaku Goddess", fell in love with his suit pants. But the problem now is that G-Dragon has a girlfriend, and they are very much in love. Anglababy's behavior seems to be destroying their relationship.
The VIPs were also very angry. They thought they represented the side of justice and wanted to teach Jingrong a lesson to this "mistress" who had no intention of interfering with other people's feelings. Now they were accused so righteously. How could they bear it? So anglababy's statement of deleting the blog did not have any expected effect, but it caused a lot of trouble. Not long after, anglababy issued a second statement. This statement seemed to be issued when she had calmed down and was calm. She first apologized to the VIPs for being too excited before, and then explained that she was excited because she was wronged and felt a little wronged, and she did not adjust her mentality. She hoped that the VIPs would not mind her. Finally, she simply said, "... I know you all are optimistic about GD and his girlfriend, and don't want this incident to lead to misunderstandings between them. In fact, I feel the same way, and I like Jingrong very much. [Laughs] We didn't stay together all the time last night. At the beginning, we looked for GD. After signing autographs and taking photos, we quickly left to chat with friends. Towards the end of the reception, GD was sitting alone in a corner. I happened to be next to him, so I said hello. I saw he was looking up a map of Hong Kong on his phone. As a Chinese, I felt obliged to show some appreciation, so I asked him what he was looking for. He told me, and I sat down to help him mark out all the famous restaurants I'd eaten at and heard of, writing down their addresses. This morning, he had to pack up nearly every bit of Hong Kong food he could get back in a very short time, which was a very difficult task. I hoped I could help him—and if you ask me why he did this, I wouldn't tell you he was on someone else's orders!
Anglababy's final statement was a stroke of genius, instantly destroying the rumors the media had worked so hard to create. The VIPs naturally accepted this explanation in its entirety, lamenting that Captain Kwon was indeed a henpecked husband. When Jingrong, who wasn't even his wife, ordered "no one can be left behind," he obediently prepared to pack up everything and go back! So everyone quieted down. Idols have no borders, and the VIPs are one family. The friends immediately shook hands with Anglababy and wanted to ask more specific questions, but Anglababy just smiled and reminded everyone to pay attention to Big Bang's boarding to find out if what she said was true.
So everyone's attention was focused on Big Bang's return to China at noon, and the media could only grit their teeth and admit it. Even the news of "pictures and truth" did not play any role. They really couldn't make up any other more grandiose scandals, but the news had to spread. Since so many people were paying attention to Big Bang's airport send-off, they certainly couldn't miss it. Then, one by one, they followed Big Bang's car with gritted teeth. This feeling of frustration should be rare for them.
Bigbang did not disappoint when they got off the car and walked towards the waiting room. Bigbang usually doesn't carry too many things when traveling. At most, the assistant next to them would carry a small bag for each of them. However, today, the staff were exhausted from all the bags. Even Bigbang themselves didn't have a bag in their hands. It was like they were going to empty Hong Kong. Because they had been reminded before, the VIPs who were seeing them off shifted their eyes away from Bigbang's faces and looked more carefully at the things in their hands. Some of the packaging boxes had the logo of a gourmet restaurant printed on them, which made the sharp-eyed fans see it clearly, proving that what Anglababy said was true. Moreover, seeing that Captain Kwon packed so many things, it must be according to Ru Jingrong's instructions. Sure enough, nothing was missing - so he looked so obedient. Captain Kwon is really a henpecked husband!
