The scandal surrounding Nanhe's relationship didn't escalate as much as expected. With Fang Shiyan and Jiang Ruyue's affair taking the lead, Nanhe's trending topics were quickly suppressed.
Nanhe also quickly issued a statement on his social media platforms, and the heat of the matter gradually faded away.
In stark contrast to the situation in Nanhe, the romance between Fang Shiyan and Jiang Ruyue remains a hot topic.
Brother Wang sensed something was wrong, and after thinking about it, he sent a message to Wen Yixing.
Don't you think Nanhe handled this matter too quickly? What's going on with Fang Shiyan? Logically speaking, given their company's strength, this matter shouldn't have been left unresolved for so long.
Having worked in the entertainment industry for so many years, Brother Wang naturally knew Fang Shiyan's influence in the industry and the ability of Fang Shiyan's entertainment company to handle matters.
This trending topic has been online for almost a whole morning and hasn't been taken down yet, which is really strange.
Wen Yixing quickly replied: 【Yeah, I feel the same way.】
Wen Yixing had also noticed long ago that something seemed amiss.
The matter concerning Nanhe was easily suppressed, but the situation with Fang Shiyan was dragging on. Now, Fang Shiyan and Jiang Ruyue's social media accounts have been flooded with negative comments, and some haters are stirring up trouble.
It's obvious that someone is deliberately targeting Fang Shiyan.
Wen Yixing tapped her finger on her phone and quickly typed a few words: "[It's probably someone doing this on purpose.]"
Brother Wang: [Even Fang Shiyan couldn't come down, but Nanhe came down so easily. It's obvious that the person behind this is trying to get rid of Fang Shiyan.]
Brother Wang sent a message with a worried look: "I hope Fang Shiyan doesn't think we're behind this, but our boss doesn't seem to have that kind of power."
Brother Wang: [Don't tell the boss this. (whispering)]
Wen Yixing smiled: [Don't worry.]

In a five-star hotel in the city center, Fang Shiyan's agent kept his brows furrowed as he looked at the news online.
Another door to the suite opened, and Fang Shiyan, having changed his clothes, came out. His agent then put down his phone and came over to Fang Shiyan, saying, "The trending topics on the internet haven't come down; someone is up to something."
Fang Shiyan sat on the sofa, looking down at the messages on his tablet.
The internet was flooded with news about him and Jiang Ruyue. He stared at it for a while before turning to his agent and saying, "You don't need to worry about this. I'll handle it."
Fang Shiyan is, after all, the boss himself, and his agent is his assistant and subordinate.
Since the boss had said so, the agent naturally agreed.
After the agent left the hotel room, Fang Shiyan was about to call Lu Xingye when his phone rang first.
It was Lu Xingye who called him.
"Old Fang, what's wrong with you? Your trending topic has been up there for a while now," Lu Xingye's voice came through. "Did you not have someone handle it, or do you not want to handle it?"
Lu Xingye is now a little confused about what Fang Shiyan is thinking. Based on his understanding of Fang Shiyan, it wouldn't be difficult to suppress this trending topic, but it's still trending now. Knowing Fang Shiyan's romantic history, Lu Xingye thought that Fang Shiyan himself didn't want to suppress the trending topic.
"It's not that we don't want to deal with it," Fang Shiyan explained. "There's someone stirring things up behind the scenes, and this trending topic can't be taken down."
Lu Xingye: "Huh?"
"I was just about to call you." Fang Shiyan didn't stand on ceremony with his good friend. "Could you check it out for me?"
Lu Xingye has more connections in the entertainment industry than him, and his brother's influence is complex and intertwined. Fang Shiyan felt that this matter should not be too difficult for Lu Xingye.
Sure enough, Lu Xing only thought for two seconds before agreeing, "Okay, I also want to see who's behind you."
"But speaking of which, what are you really thinking?"
Lu Xing hesitated for a moment, then said, "You should know that you are currently married and have a child. At least until you get a divorce, you shouldn't expose your relationship with Jiang Ruyue. Fortunately, your wife has a gentle personality and hasn't said anything about your relationship with Jiang Ruyue."
Fang Shiyan: "I know."
Lu Xingye: "If you really can't let go of Jiang Ruyue, you should just get a divorce. This can't go on like this."
Fang Shiyan remained silent for a long time. For some reason, hearing the word "divorce" made him feel irritable.
He rubbed his temples, and just as he was about to speak, the door to the hotel room was pushed open from the outside.
Fang Shiyan looked up and saw Jiang Ruyue standing at the door.
Fang Shiyan whispered to Lu Xingye, "Let's talk about this later, I'm hanging up now."
"Are you busy?" Jiang Ruyue walked over and sat down next to Fang Shiyan. Today she was wearing a loose-fitting long dress, which made her look lazy and casual.
Fang Shiyan put down his phone, his cool eyes fixed on Jiang Ruyue before he slowly spoke, "You're done with your work, what brings you here?"
Jiang Ruyue raised an eyebrow slightly: "Nothing, just came to take a look."
"Have you seen the news online?" Jiang Ruyue asked softly.
Fang Shiyan: "Yes, I'm handling it now."
Jiang Ruyue: "Why should we deal with it?"
Fang Shiyan paused, looking at Jiang Ruyue with some confusion in his eyes.
The atmosphere between the two in the hotel was already ambiguous. Jiang Ruyue's fingers twitched slightly, touching his fingertips.
Like him, his fingertips also carried a faint chill.
Jiang Ruyue gently grasped it, a faint smile in her bright eyes, and asked, "Don't you want to be with me?"
For some unknown reason, Fang Shiyan paused slightly and did not answer immediately.
After a long pause, Jiang Ruyue finally heard him say, "My current identity is not appropriate."
Jiang Ruyue smiled and looked at him frankly, "Then you can get a divorce."
Fang Shiyan remained silent.
Jiang Ruyue's smile faded slightly. She looked into Fang Shiyan's eyes and asked, "Or is it that you don't want a divorce?"

After leaving Fang Shiyan's room, Jiang Ruyue felt inexplicably angry.
She went to the empty rooftop of the hotel and lit a cigarette.
As the smoke drifted away, Jiang Ruyue asked the system in a calm voice, "Didn't you say Fang Shiyan was easy to win over? It's been over a month, why is his favorability still only 80? What's going on with the remaining 20?"
The system's exasperated voice rang out: "[If you hadn't given up on him and left, you could have successfully won him over. His affection for you was already at 95% at that time.]"
Jiang Ruyue sneered: "Is it my fault? Didn't you lie to me first?"
Jiang Ruyue's voice was ruthless: "Let me tell you, if you lie to me again this time, I will make you regret it."
The system paused for a moment, then became serious: [Last time was an accident; I didn't expect to lose all my energy. This time it definitely won't happen again.]
Jiang Ruyue asked again, "Have you figured out what's going on with the system on Wen Yixing?"
System: [Not yet, the distance is too far to sense. I need you to interact with her more.]
Jiang Ruyue raised an eyebrow: "Okay."
