After hanging up, Song Jia stood up from his leather seat and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window that overlooked the city’s most prosperous business district.
Through the reflected glass, one could see a faint smile on his face.
After returning from Dan City, Song Jia was silent for a few days. Even his good brothers, Jiang Kai and Bei Mu, noticed his abnormality.
Song Jia knew very well that they were all adults. Sometimes, if they made things clear, it would be impolite to continue pestering them. He was not the kind of person who would pester them.
However, he was unwilling to give up. In all these years, this was the first time he had feelings for a woman. Even though logic told him that it was time to give up, his emotions were still stubborn.
At night, when he was alone, Song Jia would open the photo album on his cell phone and stare blankly at the photo he had taken of Lu Zhen that day.
Actually, he did not take a photo of her on the spur of the moment that day. He was hiding a little selfishness. Lu Zhen was a big star. All her photos belonged to the audience and fans. All Song Jia could see were Lu Zhen’s public photos.
A faint thought appeared in his mind. He wanted to have a photo that only belonged to the two of them. Therefore, that day when the two of them went out to play alone, he pretended to be suddenly interested and secretly took many photos of Lu Zhen.
However, Song Jia didn’t expect Lu Zhen to reject him so quickly and bluntly. She pushed him away before he could find the right moment to make a serious statement of his feelings.
After returning from Dan City, Song Jia looked at the photos on his phone again and felt bitter. He didn’t know what the problem was. He had never taken the initiative to woo a girl in his life. Perhaps he hadn’t done enough.
Even though he was already cautious enough, Lu Zhen was like an alert cub. At the slightest movement, she quickly retreated to her cave.
Just as Song Jia did not know how to adjust their relationship to normal, Lu Zhen was suddenly exposed by a marketing account.
When Song Jia found out about the negative news, he did not believe it at all. He knew that Lu Zhen would not do that.
She wouldn’t give him a chance, nor would she give another man any chance. He didn’t think so because he was arrogant. He just had this intuition.
To Song Jia’s surprise, someone actually mentioned him in this public opinion incident. Of course, in the eyes of the netizens, he was Lu Zhen’s boyfriend. Everyone said that he had been made a cuckold. The netizens pitied him. Some even guessed that he would be sad and in pain when he saw the news and break up with Lu Zhen immediately.
After Song Jia read most of the popular posts in the square, he had an idea. He decided to help Lu Zhen clarify and then suggested to her that he help Lu Zhen resolve the scandal as a virtual boyfriend.
He guessed that Lu Zhen would not reject his suggestion.
On the one hand, in the hearts of the netizens, he was Lu Zhen’s boyfriend. Lu Zhen had also personally admitted this.
In addition, Lu Zhen was currently in trouble. This kind of trouble might appear again in the future. Having a virtual boyfriend to help her block the netizens’ curiosity and criticism would only be beneficial to her.
In the end, just as Song Jia had guessed, Lu Zhen agreed to his suggestion. Perhaps Lu Zhen was just helpless, but no matter what, this was a good thing for Song Jia. He had originally thought that after she rejected him, the two of them would only have work-related contact.
But now, he and she were still a celebrity couple in the eyes of the netizens. Even if it was fake, he was very satisfied. His phone rang. Song Jia picked up the call and his voice turned low. “Have you found it?”
“Not yet, President Song.” The other party sounded apologetic.
“Continue investigating.” Song Jia i s tone was cold. Although he didn’t say anything, the oppressive feeling couldn’t be ignored. “Is there anything else?”
“Yes, there are. We discovered that a few people seem to have been following Miss Lu Zhen. After Miss Lu Zhen returned to the country, they have been squatting outside the district. Should I get someone to deal with them?” Song Jia narrowed his eyes. This news surprised him. “Is it the paparazzi?
“I don’t think so. It doesn’t look like it.”
“Continue to observe them first. Report to me if there’s any news.”
“Alright, President Song.”
After hanging up, Song Jia looked at the dark sky in the distance, his eyes calm and cold.
It seemed that there were quite a number of people eyeing Lu Zhen..
