"Yes," the staff member said, "These flowers are from Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Yiming? Wasn't he unwilling to even call me "wife" yesterday? And today he's actually sending me flowers?
Is this just self-deception?
In front of the entire crew, Gu Qingqiu felt a little embarrassed, hastily signed her name, and even asked someone to help carry the flowers into her dressing room.
Two hours later, as expected, the topic of "Xiao Yiming sending flowers to Gu Qingqiu" became a trending topic.
The accompanying photos are taken from various angles, mostly by staff members who were watching at the scene, as well as fans and media who were waiting in the shadows. They capture Gu Qingqiu's expression from surprise to delight from every angle, sparking heated discussions among netizens.
"No, isn't Gu Qingqiu the only person in this picture? Can anyone prove that these flowers were sent by Xiao Yiming?"
"Qingqiu's wife is very beautiful. I'm taking the picture, thank you. Marketing accounts, please stop stirring up trouble. It's normal for my wife to have suitors, okay?"
"Waaaaah, it turns out that what's shown in TV dramas is all fake! The male and female leads both have their own partners now!"
"Speaking of which, Gu Qingqiu and Xiao Yiming have been rumored to be dating for a long time, but Xiao Yiming denied it a long time ago, saying they were just colleagues or something."
"Speaking of this makes me angry. The actor's fans are so arrogant and domineering. They used to insult my wife a lot. Luckily, my wife withstood the pressure and is now very popular. Otherwise, she would still be called a gold digger!"
"Speaking of which, I've secretly been shipping them before, and their itinerary does have a lot of intriguing details! For example, what did Gu Qingqiu do for so long abroad? Was she going to be with Xiao Yiming?"
Soon, Xiao Yiming's fans immediately launched a counterattack.
"My God, Ms. Gu is so famous now, can't she leave Brother Ming alone?"
"Who knows which sugar daddy sent flowers to Gu Qingqiu? Is it something to be ashamed of? Why did they have to include our Brother Ming's name in it?"
"Ming-ge has already clarified that they're just colleagues, how many times do we have to clarify it? These marketing accounts are dead!"
Gu Qingqiu and Sister Ling had originally discussed not responding to this matter, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yiming's studio issued a statement in the afternoon.
Very brief, yet with a bombshell effect—"Thank you for your concern, everyone. Mr. Xiao Yiming is indeed dating Ms. Gu Qingqiu. We hope you can give them some privacy. Thank you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Weibo crashed.
Gu Qingqiu and Xiao Yiming's names trended on social media, and countless netizens began to dig into their relationship, trying to figure out when they got together.
Xiao Yiming's fans fell silent, and some even threatened to unfollow him.
Gu Qingqiu was so anxious that she immediately called Xiao Yiming and asked him bluntly, "Why did you suddenly announce it? You didn't even tell me beforehand!"
Xiao Yiming seemed to have anticipated Gu Qingqiu's call and calmly asked, "What? Is our relationship something we shouldn't show to others?"
"No..." Gu Qingqiu thought for a moment, "Could it be that my words yesterday gave you some kind of impulse? That's not what I meant!"
“It’s okay, this is what I mean now,” Xiao Yiming said. “I want to marry you, Gu Qingqiu. The sooner we announce our relationship, the sooner I can prepare to propose to you.”
“You…” Gu Qingqiu’s eyes welled up with tears. “You didn’t need to say it at this time. Your fans are all angry. If you do this, they’ll all be dumped.”
"I do feel a little sorry for them," Xiao Yiming said in a deep voice. "I am very grateful for the fans' support, but that is not a reason for them to speak ill of the people I love. If the Xiao Yiming they admire is someone who will never be single and will never date, then I may not meet their standards as an idol."
"Xiao Yiming, thank you," Gu Qingqiu said softly. "And, I love you."
“Baby, I love you too.” Xiao Yiming replied, “Can you have a little more faith in me in the future? We’re going to spend the rest of our lives together.”
Is this referring to the unpleasantness of last night?
Gu Qingqiu blushed and said, "Oh, never mind! The director is calling me to film!"
Netizens are quick to jump on the bandwagon, but also quick to forget about it.
Soon everyone stopped talking about Gu Qingqiu and Xiao Yiming being together. They were a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and they were the right age. What's wrong with them dating?
Most of Xiao Yiming's fans have accepted reality, after all, Xiao Yiming attracted these fans because of his professional skills, and Gu Qingqiu's professional skills are now obvious to all.
Although many of Xiao Yiming's fans still dislike Gu Qingqiu, they objectively acknowledge her professional abilities. In addition, Gu Qingqiu has become a rising star with a string of hit dramas, which is quite impressive. In some ways, they are a good match.
After filming wrapped up, Gu Qingqiu went home with Xiao Yiming to meet his family.
Gu Qingqiu was initially a little nervous, after all, the Xiao family's background was indeed extraordinary. Unexpectedly, although Xiao's parents seemed serious, they did not make things too difficult for Gu Qingqiu. Xiao's mother even said that she had watched Gu Qingqiu's TV series and thought that she performed very well. She also gave Gu Qingqiu a sapphire necklace that looked very valuable as a gift.
Mr. Xiao said, "Since it's a good match, let's hold the wedding as soon as possible. It would be best if you could give me a big, healthy son sooner, as it's easier to recover your figure quickly after having a baby."
“That’s right,” Xiao’s mother chimed in. “If you’re going to be filming, I can help you take care of the kids.”
Gu Qingqiu said awkwardly, "This..."
Xiao Yiming spoke up at the right moment: "Dad, Mom, Qingqiu is still young. We want to spend more time alone together."
"You," Xiao's father said helplessly, "I can't control you anymore. You're an adult now, you have your own ideas."
"Yes, I have my own plans." Xiao Yiming took Gu Qingqiu's hand and smiled at her.
Gu Qingqiu also raised the corners of her mouth, but couldn't quite manage a smile. She thought that Xiao Yiming was taking her home to meet his parents in order to gain their approval so he could propose to her, but she didn't expect that Xiao's father would shut him down as soon as he started to say something.
Since Xiao Yiming doesn't want to propose, then let her arrange it! Gu Qingqiu thought angrily.
Gu Qingqiu had even planned out the timing. The TV Drama Awards Ceremony was in two weeks, and Gu Qingqiu was nominated as the female lead. Xiao Yiming would also be attending as a special guest.
Gu Qingqiu planned to propose to Xiao Yiming at the awards ceremony. How could Xiao Yiming, such a gentleman, embarrass her in public? He had no choice but to agree!
After making up her mind, Gu Qingqiu began to have Sister Ling secretly contact various brands to select suitable evening gowns and jewelry, and also spent a lot of money to have a ring custom-made by a high-end brand.
Gu Qingqiu originally planned to do all this privately, but Xiao Yiming has been busy with something lately and often leaves early and returns late, which has made things much easier for Gu Qingqiu.
Everything is ready, except for the east wind.
