Gu Yiming's assistant looked worried, unsure whether to tell Gu Yiming or not. He thought of what Gu Yiming had told him at the beginning: "From now on, you'll be handling things for me. I have a big 'flaw': if someone doesn't tell me about something I've asked them to pay attention to in a timely manner, I'll get very angry."
The assistant finally knocked on the door. "Come in," Gu Yiming's voice came from inside. The assistant pushed the door open and entered. Gu Yiming looked up and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?" The assistant hesitated slightly before saying, "Miss Jiang..." Gu Yiming immediately focused, looked up, stared at him, and asked, "What happened to Miss Jiang?" The assistant didn't dare to look him in the eye. Just as he was about to look away, he thought, "Wait a minute, I'm just responsible for reporting, why am I so afraid, as if I've done something wrong..." So he cleared his throat and said, "Miss Jiang has a rumored affair with Xu Li..." Gu Yiming then stood up. "What did you say??" The assistant slowly... He handed over the iPad, and the large, bold headline immediately made Gu Yiming curse, "F***!" Gu Yiming slammed his hand heavily on the table, the iPad falling to the ground as well. His breathing became rapid. His assistant, unsure of what to do, frantically tidied Gu Yiming's desk, saying, "Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, let's calm down. This might be a mistake..." "The pictures are right here, what could be a mistake!" Gu Yiming acted like a madman who had lost his mind, but then calmed down, a chilling silence. He sneered, "Heh, let's go see what's going on."
film crew
Gu Yiming walked quietly into the film set where Jiang Hua was. Jiang Hua had just finished filming and was drinking water. Seeing Gu Yiming, she put down her cup and ran over, her face beaming with an irrepressible smile. "What brings you here?" Gu Yiming didn't look at her, but he felt Jiang Hua's sincere gaze. He wasn't really angry that he didn't want to see her; rather, he was afraid that seeing Jiang Hua would make him feel like he was exposed in a vacuum, completely naked, with everything laid bare. "Just checking on how you and Xu Li are doing." Gu Yiming suppressed the urge to look at Jiang Hua and turned away. Jiang Hua kept looking up at him, but he didn't give her a single glance. Wait, her and Xu Li? Jiang Shiwan's face lit up with a smile again—so she was jealous.
Jiang Hua skipped over to Gu Yiming and tried to keep up with his pace. "Hey? Are you alright? I, um..." Gu Yiming suddenly stopped, but Jiang Hua didn't stop. She was thinking about how to phrase her words to Gu Yiming, but she didn't notice that the person next to her had already stopped. By the time she noticed, she was already far away from Gu Yiming.
So she skipped back and said earnestly, "Don't be angry anymore?" Gu Yiming raised his eyebrows. "You know what I'm going to say?" "It's just about me and Xu Li..." Gu Yiming stopped talking, and Jiang Hua tugged at his sleeve. "Oh, don't be angry anymore. This, this is just, just..." "Just what?" Jiang Hua felt guilty. She was afraid that telling the truth would still make Gu Yiming misunderstand, so she hardened her heart and said, "It's just a publicity stunt."
Gu Yiming finally looked down at Jiang Hua.
"Really?" Gu Yiming's anger subsided unconsciously thanks to Jiang Hua's words. Even Gu Yiming himself hadn't expected that when someone speaks softly and gently to you, it can gradually calm your heart, bringing such peace and tranquility.
Gu Yiming pulled Jiang Hua outside, his grip on her hand causing her some pain. But at that moment, Jiang Hua felt the sweat on Gu Yiming's palm. Jiang Hua couldn't help but secretly smile, letting him hold her. Some crew members from the nearby film crew witnessed this scene, their mouths agape as they pointed and whispered. Jiang Hua, remembering what had happened a few days prior, quickly covered her face with her other hand and urged Gu Yiming, "Hurry up!" Hearing this, Gu Yiming slowed down and stopped. Jiang Hua looked utterly dejected. Gu Yiming released her hand, and Jiang Hua quickly covered her face with both hands. Gu Yiming, amused by her expression, asked, "What are you doing?" Jiang Hua, still covering her face, said, "Everyone in the crew is saying that the director is only so respectful to me because I got in through connections. Now that you're here, I saw the crew members staring at me..." Gu Yiming looked at her, finding it somewhat amusing. Jiang Hua lightly patted him, "What are you laughing at!" Gu Yiming straightened his face, "But your clothes… surely no one's blind enough to notice?" Jiang Hua then remembered that she was still wearing her costume, one of her daughter's signature outfits… How could she have forgotten…
Jiang Hua wanted to punch herself and then hide in a corner to draw circles in her mind. Just then, Gu Yiming pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "When I heard this news, I was furious, even a little sad. I didn't know what to do, like a helpless child. But reason told me I shouldn't blindly believe it. I had to ask you first if it was true before I could make a decision." After a long silence, he released Jiang Hua. "That's because you're so important to me, Hua Hua. Really, I don't even know how important you are to me."
At that moment, Jiang Hua's eyes softened.
What a happy and joyful thing it is when a successful man gives up everything to find you because of a non-existent, fake news story.
Jiang Hua laughed and said, "But didn't you say you were going to find Xu Li? You didn't even look at me, and you said you were coming to ask me." Gu Yiming's eyes were as tender as melting water. "That was just an act for you. I was afraid that if I saw your eyes, my heart would soften."
"That was just an act for you. I was afraid that if I saw your eyes, I would soften."
Jiang Hua's eyes welled up with tears, which slid down her cheeks. Strange, how could he be so moved by just a few words? Gu Yiming gently wiped away Jiang Hua's tears, then, as if suddenly remembering something, said, "Oh right, I still have something to do." Jiang Hua rubbed her eyes. "What is it?" "It's about you." He then pulled Jiang Hua towards his car.
"Hey, what are you doing... why are you running..." Jiang Hua couldn't keep up with him and looked at him for help. Gu Yiming pulled Jiang Hua into his arms, and the sound of flashing cameras could still be faintly heard. When Jiang Hua saw such a big paparazzi blocking the entrance of the film set, and they were all high-end paparazzi with special cameras, lights, and so on, Jiang Hua pulled Gu Yiming and ran back.
