6 – The Rebellious Little Fiancée
Fu Jingyan knew his little fiancée had always been a rebel at heart.
Tell her to go east, and she’d definitely head west.
So after he finished speaking, she only felt a twinge of guilt for a second before immediately retorting with righteous indignation.
“Why can’t I be a girl group idol? I’m not dating anyone anyway.”
Fu Jingyan countered, “What about your fiancé?”
Bo Zhi faltered for a moment, then said with a straight face, “A fiancé is a fiancé, dating is dating. There’s no conflict between the two.”
Fu Jingyan: “?”
You seem to be playing a very new kind of game.
Bo Zhi couldn’t be bothered to argue further and insisted firmly, “Don’t worry about it. I’m going.”
Meeting the man’s cool, calm phoenix-like eyes that were fixed intently on her, Bo Zhi inexplicably felt a bit uneasy.
It almost felt like she was bullying him.
But then she thought, there were no real feelings between them anyway—it was all just the result of a drunken mistake.
She said, “It’s not like our relationship can ever be made public.”
Even if they did eventually marry according to their engagement, she and Fu Jingyan would absolutely keep it a secret.
Not to mention she hadn’t yet become the top star in the entertainment industry—would Fu Jingyan really be willing to give up all his adoring female fans?
Fox Fu had a whopping ninety million fans, Bo Zhi thought sourly.
So as long as she successfully sneaked onto the romance reality show, it would be a done deal even if he found out later.
The old fox couldn’t do anything to her anyway 😀
“That’s settled then. Meeting adjourned.”
After saying this, Bo Zhi lifted her skirt and slipped under the man’s arm, quickly escaping from the balcony.
Fu Jingyan: “…”
Who said anything was settled?
The man leaned lazily against the balcony, watching the figure bustling back and forth in the apartment like a lively, radiant Little Mermaid.
He couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle, the steam from his coffee curling around his handsome, noble features.
His clear, cool voice drifted away on the wind.
“Why can’t it ever be made public?”
…
Spring Encounter was a celebrity live-streamed romance reality show, featuring single, attractive men and women from the entertainment industry, focusing on sweet interactions filled with pink bubbles to delight viewers’ hearts.
But that very night, it trended on social media due to a dramatic love triangle.
【Huh? Am I seeing things with this lineup? Bo Zhi, Zhu Luoling, and Chen You all on the same romance reality show???】
【I almost thought time had reversed. Is the drama between these three still not over?】
【Hasn’t Bo Zhi sucked enough blood from that couple? Isn’t she ashamed of being the other woman? How dare she show her face again? She must be desperate for fame, being such a low-tier celebrity.】
【Am I the only one wondering… isn’t this a show for singles? Why are Zhu Luoling and her boyfriend here?】
【Sharp observation, you’ve hit the nail on the head.】
【Could the rumors actually be true? I heard this couple broke up not long ago…】
Soon after, Zhu Luoling’s fans rushed in to explain.
【Zhu Zhu already explained on Weibo—she and Brother Chen You amicably broke up six months ago. She’s now a single artist. [smile]】
Netizens: ??? They really broke up?
Following the link to Weibo, sure enough, they found a lengthy post from Zhu Luoling three minutes earlier.
【Zhu Luoling V】: First, I want to apologize to everyone. Actually, A You and I broke up amicably six months ago because we weren’t compatible. We didn’t make it public at the time because we didn’t want personal matters to take up public resources.
I really miss the wonderful times Ah You brought me, but one must always look forward, so after careful consideration, I’ve decided to start a new life. I hope everyone can understand.
Finally, I wish everyone can find their destined other half [holding heart]
The comment section immediately erupted with sighs and laments.
Some were heartbroken, some regretful, and others simply spoke harsh truths.
【Simplified version: We broke up long ago, I’m going to find a new man, don’t come to the romance reality show to curse me, thanks.】
【Such a pretentious essay. Back when you went public, it was so sensational, you even bought hot searches for a full day and night. Now that you’re breaking up, you don’t want to occupy public resources anymore?】
Far away in her studio, Zhu Luoling nearly choked on her anger after reading the comments.
“What do these people mean? Is breaking up something worth celebrating?”
The pure and innocent beauty’s aggressive tone carried an inexplicable ferocity.
Her manager advised, “Forget it. Back then, to bring Bo Zhi down, your public announcement was indeed a bit too deliberate.”
Hearing this, Zhu Luoling pursed her lips coldly.
A nobody who just debuted wants to ride on her lapdog boyfriend to skyrocket to fame? Dream on.
The manager said, “If you’re in a bad mood, don’t read the comments. I’ll arrange for water armies to steer the narrative.”
Chen You chased after Zhu Luoling onto the romance reality show to reconcile, while Bo Zhi, with her wicked intentions still intact, admires Chen You so much that she followed onto the show to continue clinging to him.
In the end, the noble winner will still be her, Zhu Luoling.
Bo Zhi would inevitably face another round of online bullying.
Zhu Luoling flicked her nude-pink manicured nails and sneered, “It’s all Bo Zhi’s own fault. I just casually recommended her, and she actually came running eagerly to participate.”
“So what if she’s pretty? Her resources are truly terrible.”
Though Zhu Luoling’s tone was disdainful, it carried a hint of sourness she herself didn’t notice.
The manager didn’t say much, only reminded her, “Communicate more with Chen You. This fake breakup and using the romance reality show to revive your careers is crucial—it can’t be messed up.”
Zhu Luoling replied indifferently, “Don’t worry.”
Then she called Chen You, her voice sweet and clear, “Ah You, have you checked Weibo?”
Chen You answered absentmindedly, “Yes.”
Just as Zhu Luoling was about to say that netizens were praising him for being so devoted, she heard Chen You ask with a hint of anticipation in his tone, “They all say Bo Zhi joined the romance reality show because of me. Is that true?”
In an instant, Zhu Luoling’s face darkened.
Her voice sharpened as she questioned, “Does it matter? Don’t tell me you actually want to create a CP with Bo Zhi?”
Chen You quickly replied, “No, that’s not what I meant. I was just asking casually.”
Zhu Luoling was so angry she dug her manicured nails into her palm.
She couldn’t help but recall back then, when her once utterly obedient boyfriend suddenly became distant and cold for a while, often spacing out even when they were together.
Later, she discovered that Chen You had met a new, unknown actress.
That nobody looked like a vixen, completely bewitching him, to the point where his soul seemed to have wandered off somewhere.
At the very least, Zhu Luoling could conclude that Chen You had never been so infatuated with her.
“You’d better be.”
Zhu Luoling coldly finished speaking and hung up, angrily tossing her phone aside.
To calm her mood, she picked it up again to check the hot search feed. Sure enough, she saw a uniform wave of criticism targeting Bo Zhi.
Only then did Zhu Luoling finally feel satisfied. “Hmph, I wonder how Bo Zhi is feeling now. Has she been cursed at so much that she wants to cry?”
Bo Zhi indeed wanted to cry right now.
If she had committed any sins.
Then let the law punish her.
Not when she was sneaking to get Fu Jingyan’s phone, kneeling on either side of his waist in an extremely awkward and humiliating position—
He suddenly opened his eyes.
“…”
Fu Jingyan’s cool, drowsy phoenix eyes slowly opened, sweeping over their positions from top to bottom.
Then, with interest, he raised an eyebrow, leisurely watching her.
“Bo Zhizhi.”
Bo Zhi stiffened like a corpse, “…Uh, uh-huh.”
The man was enveloped in a hazy weariness, his silver-blue hair disheveled and cool under the moonlight, his eyes half-drunk and utterly captivating.
His breathy voice was both sexy and lazy, “Are you trying to force me to fulfill our marital duties ahead of time again?”
