"No..." Although Su Chen had recovered, her body was still trembling.
Sheng Yu fell into deep thought. Was it a fear ingrained in his very bones...?
Neither of them slept that night, and the next day they went to work with panda eyes.
Su Chen was scolded by the makeup artist for half an hour on set because her dark circles were too difficult to cover...
While they were filming, Ms. Wang came over with a gloomy expression, took her leave without saying a word, and pulled her away.
"Sister Wang, what's wrong?" When had Su Chen ever seen Ms. Wang with such an expression?
"At least the reporter we intercepted fooled us," Ms. Wang cursed. "Now the whole internet is full of photos of you and Sheng Yu."
Su Chen paused for a second, then took out her phone.
As expected, the top trending topic was #ShengYuIsSuspectedOfBeingInARelationship.
Something seemed to explode in Su Chen's mind. The photos mostly showed her back, but some also captured her face—and those photos unmistakably showed her!
Su Chen felt like she was about to be slowly tortured by the horde of fans rushing over, and her face immediately turned ashen.
"Hurry back, or we'll be ruined if reporters corner us on set!" Ms. Wang urged.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen ran forward as if her life depended on it, jumped into the car, and the driver sped off. Su Chen looked back at the group of reporters who had just arrived, still shaken...
Fortunately, the driver was experienced, and the car quickly disappeared from the reporters' sight. Some who didn't believe in the danger also gave chase in their cars, but the driver left them behind.
Su Chen was so anxious in the car that she was almost crying when Sheng Yu called.
Su Chen answered the phone with trembling hands, "Hello?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was calm and collected: "Let's announce it."
Su Chen paused for a second, then replied, "Okay."
Soon after, the top trending topic became #ShengYuAdmitsToBeMarriedAndPublishesMarriageCertificate.
Su Chen: ...Why does it feel like he actually wants things to turn out this way?
After all, the copywriting was already prepared!
The post pinned to the top of Sheng Yu's Weibo account was written in great detail. It described how the two families had arranged their marriage since they were children, and even fabricated a melodramatic story about childhood sweethearts. He also somehow managed to obtain a group photo of the two families taken together when they were young.
Su Chen was speechless... If she hadn't met the reporter who exposed them, Su Chen would have thought that Sheng Yu had orchestrated the whole thing to force her to announce their relationship.
Sure enough, a short while later, Su Chen's phone exploded.
For peace of mind, Su Chen uninstalled Weibo.
Ms. Wang kept staring, her brows furrowing more and more tightly.
Su Chen knew that the situation was not optimistic, even more serious than the exposure of the male and female leads' relationship. Although her husband did not follow the idol route, he did attract a wave of brainless and toxic fans with his devastatingly handsome face.
This is too difficult... Su Chen feels like she's going to be skinned alive in the middle of the night.
Su Chen sat down with Ms. Wang in her living room to discuss countermeasures.
Ms. Wang's idea was for her to leave the entertainment industry because the secret marriage had a huge impact, and Sheng Yu was their company's cash cow, having been in the industry for so many years and also having a significant impact, so the only option was to sacrifice Su Chen.
Su Chen didn't object; after all, anyone would make the same decision, although... it seemed impossible for her to complete the side quest. She felt a pang of heartache thinking about the experience points she'd lost.
So, under Ms. Wang's guidance, he first retweeted Sheng Yu's Weibo post with a heart emoji. Then he explained and apologized for his concealment and asked for everyone's forgiveness.
