However, due to He Mingxiao's sudden and unpredictable actions, Nan Xian's audition was canceled.
She's already been in the spotlight lately due to various issues, and her name is still trending on social media. There are also countless paparazzi surrounding her home, so she doesn't dare to go out easily.
She could even foresee that if she really went to audition for "Borrowing the East Wind" on set, it would become a trending topic again in less than half an hour.
Nan Xian apologized to Xiao Jianfeng and the director of "Borrowing the East Wind" with a heavy heart. They were very magnanimous and said that she was welcome to visit the set at any time.
Look at that, look at that magnanimity!
She felt increasingly guilty and disliked He Mingxiao even more.
With nowhere to vent her pent-up anger, she finally couldn't help but grit her teeth and complain to [.h]:
[Xian Shi Kan Hua: Do you think Nan Xian's ex-husband is crazy? They're already divorced, yet he still tries to use her for publicity. Doesn't he realize how much trouble this will cause Nan Xian?]
After waiting a few minutes, the other party replied.
But this was not the answer Nan Xian had been hoping for.
[.h: Isn't Xiao Jianfeng just creating hype too?]
Nan Xian frowned. What does this have to do with Xiao Jianfeng?
[Xiao Jianfeng and Nan Xian are just ordinary friends. He clarified yesterday's trending topic in a timely manner. How is he being accused of creating hype?]
Instead of replying, the .h file sent several links.
These are posts from several gossip forums; the titles alone are sensational enough even before I've opened them.
[Is it confirmed that Xiao Jianfeng and Nan Xian are dating?] [An insider revealed that Xiao Jianfeng is preparing to pursue Nan Xian; this is definitely true!] [The collaboration between the tycoon surnamed X and the actress surnamed N is just a heads-up; they will gradually make their relationship official.]
What kind of lousy melons are these!
Nan Xian frowned, just as she was about to take a closer look, when a new message came from [.h].
[.h: Several of the most popular posters have one thing in common: they all posted about Xiao Jianfeng. I checked their IP addresses, and they match the IP addresses of several major Xiao Jianfeng Weibo followers.]
Nan Xian:......
It is well known that celebrities' big fans and management teams are in contact, and whenever there is an emergency, they are the first to receive "intelligence" and take the lead.
Nan Xian, who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, knows all too well what it means when a big fan deliberately spreads rumors.
The image of Xiao Jianfeng's warm, spring-like smile flashed through her mind, along with his gentlemanly manners—he was like a celestial being...
She really didn't want to compare him to ordinary people who were immersed in the corrupting influence of the entertainment industry.
[Xian Shi Kan Hua: Perhaps it wasn't at his behest? Given his position, what reason would he have to drag Nan Xian into this?]
[.h: As you said yourself, with his status—he's practically a half-owner of Prosperous Media—his management team needs his approval before they can do anything. Do you think he wouldn't know these things?]
[.h: Didn't you ever consider that he did all this on purpose because he likes Nan Xian?]
When Nan Xian saw the second half of the sentence, her scalp tingled instantly.
Xiao Jianfeng likes her?!
How is this possible?!
Even including classes from a few years ago, they've only met three times...
The notification sound of a new message brought her back to her senses.
She then realized that the screen had gone black at some point.
Tap to unlock —
[.h: Judging from how protective you are of him in your words, what, you like Xiao Jianfeng?]
Nan Xian's scalp, which had just calmed down, tingled again.
She's really suffering from PTSD regarding the word "like" right now...
Seeing the question sent by [.h], she frowned slightly, then suddenly remembered—
Last night she was on the phone with Yao Mingke for a long time and missed the time she had agreed to connect with [.h] via voice chat.
After she explained to him, he only replied with an "Mm".
Nan Xian thought he was working overtime, and she was still angry about He Mingxiao's antics, so she didn't bother him anymore and went straight to wash up and go to bed.
Only now did she belatedly realize that [.h] seemed to be angry with her.
The two had occasionally disagreed, but he had never questioned himself in such a tone.
Like a wronged husband who has been cuckolded.
Nan Xian was both amused and exasperated by her own associations. She shook off these nonsensical thoughts and replied:
What are you thinking? I don't like Xiao Jianfeng, I just know him a little and have a gut feeling that he's not that kind of person.
There was a long silence on the other end.
[.h: So you think He Mingxiao is that kind of person?]
Nan Xian was speechless and choked with emotion: I am Nan Xian myself, how could I not know that guy He Mingxiao!
Unable to reveal her true identity, she bit her lip, pondering how to refute him, when suddenly her eyes lit up and an idea came to her—
[Xian Shi Kan Hua: Judging from your words, you seem to be very protective of He Mingxiao. What, do you admire He Mingxiao?]
[.h：......]
Treat them as they treat you.
Seeing that he hadn't replied for a while, and guessing that she had stumped him with her question, Nanxian couldn't help but slap the bed and burst into laughter.
However, her smile vanished the next second—
[At least He Mingxiao made his intentions clear, and everyone's conversation revolved around him; no one gossiped about Nan Xian.]
The subtext of his words was that He Mingxiao pursued his wife openly and honestly, while Xiao Jianfeng secretly used underhanded tactics.
The difference in quality is immediately apparent.
Nan Xian's smile gradually faded, turning into silence.
Indeed, from last night until now, she hasn't seen a single comment or post that is unfavorable to her.
