Yang Xile glanced at Lin Xiao, smiled, and turned to Yu Qingning: "The second thing is to celebrate that our sister Lin Xiao has found a big star boyfriend. Xiao Yu, you didn't know, did you? Your sister is very tight-lipped! She hasn't mentioned it to you at all, has she?"
Lin Xiao was completely stunned, not understanding what was going on for a moment. How did Yang Xile know Wei Changfeng's identity? And why did he bring it up during their dinner together?
Yu Qingning was shocked by Yang Xile's words. She stared wide-eyed at Lin Xiao and asked, "Sister, is what Xile said true? When did you get a boyfriend? Why didn't you tell me? Is he a big star? Who is he?"
The introverted Xiao Yu was now overcome by curiosity, completely forgetting the embarrassment and nervousness she felt when she met Yang Xile earlier, and was only immersed in the shock of Lin Xiao having a celebrity boyfriend.
Lin Xiao glanced at Yang Xile, whose expression remained unchanged. Unable to discern his intentions or the source of his information, Lin Xiao could only say to Xiao Yu, "It wasn't that I intentionally kept it from you; I was just a little embarrassed. It's not that we absolutely had to keep it a secret, but we also had to consider his feelings. His identity is somewhat special, and going public with our relationship might cause a lot of trouble."
"So, is my sister going to be his mistress?" Yang Xile asked, staring into Lin Xiao's eyes.
Lin Xiao could already sense the hostility emanating from him. He sighed helplessly and remained silent.
Instead, it was Xiao Yu, who was usually quiet, who kept asking, "Is she really a celebrity? Sister, tell me, and I promise I won't tell anyone. I'm not a blabbermouth."
Lin Xiao was about to speak when Yang Xile beat him to it, asking Yu Qingning, "Lin Xiao and my second sister like the same person, Qingning, have you heard of Wei Changfeng?"
"What?!" Xiao Yu's eyes widened again as she stared at Lin Xiao and asked, "Sister, is it that actor Wei Changfeng? The one who acted in 'Treading the Song'?"
Lin Xiao hadn't watched that historical romance drama before. She only found out about it from Wei Changfeng. Later, when the two started dating, she found the resources online to watch it and learned that the drama had been very popular back then.
Hearing Xiao Yu ask this, Lin Xiao nodded and said yes.
Xiao Yu was completely stunned. She held Lin Xiao's hand at the dinner table and said, "Sister, how come you kept it so tight? You're dating such a big star, and we've never heard you mention it once."
Yang Xile didn't really follow the entertainment industry. He lived abroad for many years. He knew Wei Changfeng but didn't know his works. Seeing that Xiao Yu, who was usually very quiet, was so excited, he asked, "Is this Wei Changfeng really that famous?"
"Of course, he's a top star now! He's incredibly popular! My best friend is a fan. Sis, so can I ask you for his autographed photo to give to my friend anytime?"
Lin Xiao forced a smile and said that when she saw him next time, she would ask him for a few copies and then give them to Xiao Yu's best friend.
Yang Xile chuckled and said, "Give me two too, so I can give them to my poor second sister!"
Lin Xiao knew, of course, that he was implying something. On the surface, he was talking about her second sister, but in reality, he was indirectly mocking Wei Changfeng. She tried her best to hold back her anger and not take Yang Xile's sarcastic tone to heart.
Lin Xiao assumed he simply disliked Wei Changfeng's status as an entertainer, never imagining that Yang Xile was truly indignant at losing to an actor who seemed far inferior to him in every way. She couldn't possibly comprehend the unspoken rivalry between men and the resulting sense of defeat.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask Yang Xile how he knew she was dating Wei Changfeng.
Yang Xile didn't hide anything, saying that she had just seen the photo of Wei Changfeng modeling for her on the school's display board, and in an instant, she understood everything.
Lin Xiao saw him at the school gate, not realizing that he had already gone inside the school to see the student artwork exhibition and Wei Changfeng's photo.
The two had their own thoughts. At the dinner table, only Yu Qingning asked questions out of curiosity and wanted to see a photo of Lin Xiao and Wei Changfeng together.
Lin Xiao showed her several photos of the two of them together in Shaxi Town, Yunnan. Wei Changfeng had his arm around her shoulder affectionately, and they were both smiling brightly.
"Fantastic! Handsome man and beautiful woman! A perfect match!" Xiao Yu exclaimed after seeing the photos.
Yang Xile glanced at him a few times, and each glance stung him: What makes that kid so special? What makes him special? Just because he has a handsome face?
The dinner for the three of them finally ended. Yang Xile had been drinking and called his bodyguard to come and drive Lin Yu and the other person home.
He sat in the passenger seat and observed Lin Xiao's expression through the rearview mirror. He noticed that she had a gloomy face and was clearly very unhappy.
Yu Qingning was dropped off first. After Xiao Yu got off the bus, Yang Xile moved to her seat and sat next to Lin Xiao in the back seat.
Lin Xiao remained silent the entire way, so Yang Xile had no choice but to ask, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy about talking about your brother-in-law today?"
Lin Xiao remained silent. Yang Xile, somewhat indignant, became sarcastic and bitter: "What's wrong with you? Your brother-in-law is so handsome, he's not someone to be trifled with, and he's not some gigolo who likes to hang out with rich women. Why did you keep it hidden all this time, sister?"
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and tried to speak to him in a calm tone: "My boyfriend is indeed very good-looking. He's not a gigolo, and he's quite wealthy himself, so he doesn't need to be with a rich woman. But I have to respect his opinion and can't do everything according to my own wishes."
Yang Xile snorted coldly and said, "Oh, I see. It's not that you don't want to go public, it's that he doesn't, right? He wants to keep you as his mistress, doesn't he?"
