After the director left, the atmosphere in the lounge suddenly became extremely heavy.
Shen Yu braced himself and walked up to Liang Xun. He lowered his head slightly. “Brother, I was wrong.”
He had been like this in front of Liang Xun since he was young. He was more serious and sincere than anyone else when he admitted his mistake and even pretended to be pitiful.
Liang Xun looked up at him. “What did you promise me back then? Did you swear that you wouldn’t let anything happen to Jing Yao?”
Shen Yu cleared his throat. “Yes, but Brother, you really can’t blame me for this. I didn’t know that Song Xi had ulterior motives at first. After that, 1 never let Song Xi get close to Sister-in-law again.”
Liang Xun sounded a little helpless. “Now that you’ve pushed Jing Yao to the center of attention, what do you think we should do?”
“Well.” Jing Yao, who had been quiet, suddenly raised a hand and said softly, “Actually, you can’t blame Shen Yu entirely. I have a big problem too.”
Liang Xun raised his eyebrows slightly. “Don’t blame yourself for everything.”
After saying that, he looked at Shen Yu. “Go settle the trending topic and quickly post an explanation.”
What could Shen Yu say? He could only nod obediently.
Zhu Ling stood at the side, deep in thought.
A moment later, Zhu Ling walked towards Jing Yao and pulled her up. “Yaoyao, come out with me. I have something to tell you alone.”
Although Jing Yao was puzzled, she still followed Zhu Ling.
Shen Yu sat on the sofa and massaged his temples. It had been a dangerous day. He was physically and mentally exhausted.
He rubbed his temples and said in confusion, “Why is this Zhu Ling so strange? What is she going to say? She’s even avoiding us.”
Liang Xun’s gaze was deep and he did not reply.
Zhu Ling and Jing Yao had hidden many things from him. Recently, there was something that gave him a headache. Everything else didn’t matter, but the medicine bottle that made Jing Yao panic made Liang Xun uneasy.
He had done a checkup on Jing Yao and didn’t find anything wrong with her body.
Zhu Ling pulled Jing Yao into the bathroom and whispered, “Yaoyao, you didn’t lie to me about you and Liang Xun, right?”
Jing Yao didn’t understand why she asked that, but she still shook her head. “Of course not.”
Zhu Ling looked puzzled. “Are you sure Liang Xun is really asexual and it’s just for the sake of the child?”
Jing Yao pursed her lips and did not speak.
Zhu Ling frowned and sized up Jing Yao suspiciously. “I feel that Liang Xun doesn’t seem to be putting on an act to you. It’s more like he’s doing it for real. What do you think?”
Jing Yao shook her head gently. “1 don’t know. He’s so outstanding. 1 can’t believe that he likes me. Perhaps it’s just a whim.”
Jing Yao found her own reason.
Zhu Ling’s heart ached. Jing Yao was good in every way, but she was ruined by the Jing Family and Wen Chen, so she was not confident in herself now. She could not even believe that someone would really love her.
“Alright, don’t think about it. Let nature take its course,” Zhu Ling said gently.
Jing Yao smiled. “Lingling, you’re exactly the same as Liang Xun.”
Zhu Ling glared at him. “Liang Xun’s wolf tail is out. Has he already confessed to you?”
Jing Yao blushed slightly. “It’s not an official confession.”
Zhu Ling chuckled and said, “Alright, alright. Anyway, no matter what you choose, I’m on your side. I had thought that we would earn money well and open our own studio in the future. We would spend half of the year working and the other half traveling and seeing the world. Looks like there’s no chance.”
Jing Yao hurriedly said, “No, we can still be the same as before. Besides, 1 have money now. 1 can take you on a trip.”
Zhu Ling nodded. She knew that it would not be as she had expected, but she did not refute her.
On the way back to the lounge with Jing Yao, Zhu Ling made a decision silently.
After the two of them left, Song Xi, who was hiding at the corner, stuck her head out with an impatient expression.
She knew that Zhu Ling was Jing Yao’s manager, so she didn’t care. She was waiting to take intimate photos of Jing Yao and Liang Xun.
As long as it was confirmed that Jing Yao was kept by Liang Xun, Jing Yao would never be able to make a comeback.
After all, if what the trending searches said was true, Liang Xun had a pregnant new wife at home. In that case, the netizens’ spit could drown Jing Yao.
Returning to the lounge, Liang Xun didn’t have any strange expressions on his face. He only said to Shen Yu, “Go out first and lure away your crazy fans downstairs. Then, I’ll leave with Jing Yao.”
Shen Yu did not dare to be angry or say anything. He could only agree.
Liang Xun’s eyes darted around and he suddenly said, “Miss Zhu should be busy dealing with the trending topics. Why don’t you leave with Shen Yu? You can discuss how to deal with this matter.”
Zhu Ling nodded in agreement. She should indeed talk to Shen Yu about what to do next..
