“It’s just a birthday celebration. It’s normal for them to hug,” Lin Xiaoman knew Huo Qizhi was not an ordinary person and wouldn’t easily admit to anything, so she anticipated a twist.
“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine,” Lin Xiaoman comforted Huang Yinyin by patting her head.
Huo Qizhi had too many contract interests to admit to a relationship, but just spreading the rumor would be enough. Netizens would see his true nature, and Xi Xueer would see his true colors.
For Lin Xiaoman, this was sufficient.
“I’m very calm right now. I’ve thought it through clearly.
Huo Qizhi, I just want you to acknowledge our relationship. I don’t care about anything else,” Xie Xue’er said decisively.
“What if I don’t agree?”
“What would people think if they knew we were already together while Tang Feifei was still around?” Xie Xue’er whispered threateningly. “Isn’t acknowledging our relationship better than being accused of cheating?”
“Are you crazy? What good would that do you?”
“I told you, I don’t need any benefits. I just want you to acknowledge the fact that we’re together,” Xie Xue’er’s voice was calm yet cruel. “If you can’t do that, we might as well go to hell together.”
The call was hung up. Huo Qizhi looked at his phone screen turning black, realizing that the woman he always thought was a gentle kitten was actually a disguised ferocious tiger.
He absolutely would not announce their relationship, and Xie Xue’er was no longer as easy to placate as before.
He needed to think of another way.
During the shooting, he was distracted and in a bad state.
Lin Xiaoman brought him a cup of coffee during a break: “Don’t pay attention to online rumors. The innocent will prove their innocence.”
“Thank you,” Huo Qizhi took the coffee. “Do you believe in me?”
“Of course. Didn’t you say you’re just friends?”
Looking at the girl smiling like an angel in front of him, Huo Qizhi suddenly felt relaxed, as if things weren’t so difficult.
Huo Qizhi’s expression stiffened. He unnaturally put down the coffee and quickly stood up.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you want the coffee?”
“No,” Huo Qizhi returned to his usual gentle demeanor, smiling slightly. “I’ve been having insomnia and taking medication.”
