5 – Thе First СР Fаn
Тhе mаkeup rооm wаs brightlу lit, сasting a naturаl hаlo ovеr the handsоmе mеn аnd bеаutiful womеn.
Sinсе thе camеra wasn’t convеniеnt to usе, hе snаррed а fеw рhotos with his рhоne instеad.
Among thе shots сaptured оn his phоne wеrе ones оf Lu Jin holding Chen Qingzhi, thе twо gаzing intо eaсh оthеr’s еyes, аnd Lu Jin lowеring his head tо exаmine the wоund on the baсk оf Сhen Qingzhi’s hаnd.
In thе other solо shots, bоth оf their gazеs were аlso fiхеd оn eаch othеr.
Their mоvеmеnts were gentle, and their exрrеssions even morе sо.
The little раparazzo had been so engrossed in taking photos earlier that he had snapped seven or eight shots of some scenes and still felt unsatisfied.
The static chemistry between these two was just too perfect.
Putting aside the content of their argument, just looking at the photos, anyone would guess that these two were a match made in heaven!
While secretly snapping photos outside the door earlier, the little paparazzo had even doubted whether people online had lost their minds.
If they could witness this wealthy couple in person today, they wouldn’t be spouting nonsense online or speculating about so many irrelevant things!
“I’ll return the camera’s memory card to you, but can I keep the photos in my phone’s album?”
The little paparazzo asked earnestly.
He wanted to protect these precious photos.
Having been burned in the industry before, Chen Qingzhi naturally wouldn’t let him off so easily.
Some people might appear innocent and harmless on the surface, but you never know how they might harm others behind the scenes.
Even if this paparazzo looked clean-cut and honest, it didn’t mean he wouldn’t plant hidden cameras in the makeup room.
Especially since she had changed clothes here earlier.
“Let’s handle this by calling the police. I’ll contact Su Qian.”
Most of the crew’s work was covered by confidentiality agreements, and his sneaking in had already violated the rules.
Chen Qingzhi picked up her phone, ready to make the call.
“No… don’t call! Chen… sister, I really didn’t lie to you!”
The little paparazzo immediately panicked, wanting to step closer and plead.
But with Lu Jin protecting Chen Qingzhi, he didn’t dare approach.
He could only stand there dumbfounded, his eyes filled with pleading.
His boss had spent a lot of money to sneak him into the crew, and now, without digging up any gossip, he was about to end up in a police station.
He was going to lose this job again!
The little paparazzo immediately took the initiative to pull out his ID card from his pocket and placed it on the table:
“If you don’t believe me, I’ll leave my ID here as collateral. If any scandalous material surfaces, you can sue me anytime!”
After saying this, he looked at Lu Jin, whose expression had softened slightly, with pleading eyes:
“I promise! There’s really nothing else…”
Chen Qingzhi’s face remained cold as she glanced at the items on the table. She didn’t relent, appearing somewhat excessively unyielding.
In contrast, Lu Jin beside her wore a faint smile as he picked up the ID card and asked:
“Qiu… Xiaoyi. You just turned nineteen?”
The little paparazzo, hearing his name, immediately nodded.
“Your photography skills are pretty good.”
Lu Jin’s tone was sincere.
Qiu Xiaoyi didn’t react at first:
“Huh?”
Lu Jin quickly tapped a few times on Qiu Xiaoyi’s phone before handing it back to him:
“What’s the name of your gossip account?”
Qiu Xiaoyi was confused again:
“Huh?”
Lu Jin chuckled:
“What do you mean ‘huh’? Are your ears not working? Do you need Sister Chen to take a look for you?”
Chen Qingzhi shot him a fierce glare with her beautiful eyes.
She knew this guy held grudges—he was just waiting for an opportunity to get back at her.
Unable to resist, she retorted:
“How childish!”
Qiu Xiaoyi watched the two bickering, his expression flickering:
“…Gossip Digger.”
Chen Qingzhi couldn’t figure out what Lu Jin was up to, so she opened Weibo and searched for the account Qiu Xiaoyi had mentioned.
It did exist.
Number of followers: 20.
Number of accounts followed: 983.Chen Qingzhi’s lips pressed into a tight line.
Heh.
Now even the paparazzi stalking her were this shabby?
With so few followers, who would believe them if they actually leaked something?
Lu Jin handed the ID card back to Qiu Xiaoyi and patted his shoulder, his relaxed expression revealing no particular emotion:
“Pack up your things, and don’t sneak photos anymore.”
Qiu Xiaoyi nodded, then cautiously glanced at Chen Qingzhi.
Seeing she didn’t react much and no longer mentioned calling the police, he dared to take back his ID card.
He dragged his feet while packing up.
This wealthy couple was trending today, and his studio had just been established not long ago. His boss sent him here to ride the wave, write something random, and just gain some followers for the account.
He never expected to capture such big news about Liu Jing and Chen Qingzhi.
Originally, he wanted to expose Liu Jing’s true face to the public.
But he ended up with an unexpected surprise.
He managed to capture Lu Jin, the long-reclusive young master of the Lu family!
Fortunately, this couple was merciful and didn’t force him to delete the photos from his phone.
However, the shots of Lu Jin couldn’t be casually released without approval from the Xingzhou Group’s PR department.
What a shame—these two together were a visual feast!
He could only keep them for his own appreciation, silently becoming Chen Qingzhi and Lu Jin’s first CP fan.
Driven by youthful curiosity, Qiu Xiaoyi forgot the pain once the wound healed.
Remembering the explosive revelation that slipped out unintentionally during their earlier argument, he couldn’t suppress his curiosity.
After packing up, he lingered in the dressing room, unwilling to leave.
Under the warning gazes of the two, Qiu Xiaoyi hesitantly asked:
“Are you… ex-boyfriend and girlfriend?”
Seeing the stunned expressions on the faces of this perfect-looking pair, Qiu Xiaoyi silently confirmed the answer in his heart.
Then, filled with anticipation, he asked:
“You broke up six years ago, so… have you reconciled now?”
His voice trembled slightly with excitement.
Chen Qingzhi: “…”
Lu Jin: “…”
Qiu Xiaoyi felt as if he had uncovered some incredible secret, instantly imagining an eight-hundred-word melodramatic tale of wealthy family scandals.
His eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked at the two:
“If you’ve reconciled, it must mean one of you never gave up. Or—”
He was about to say something else when Chen Qingzhi immediately cut him off:
“Do you think we’d answer questions from a gossip paparazzo?”
Chen Qingzhi raised her phone, pretending to call the police:
“If you don’t leave now, I’m dialing 110!”
Qiu Xiaoyi: “!”
The young paparazzo with a backpack vanished in an instant.
Chen Qingzhi pursed her lips.
Why had she let this little paparazzo off so easily?
She was still too kind!
…
As soon as Qiu Xiaoyi ran off, Su Qian called for Chen Qingzhi from outside the door.
Lu Jin happened to receive a phone call.
Holding his phone with one hand, he nodded and smiled at Su Qian as a greeting.
Su Qian pulled Chen Qingzhi to a corner of the hallway, her eyes narrowing into happy slits:
“Your husband has settled everything! Everyone in the crew, from the director to the production assistants—anyone connected to Liu Jing—has been replaced!”
Su Qian held a red-stamped announcement, pointing it out to Chen Qingzhi.
Probably because something delayed him on the plane, creating a time gap that allowed the Hot Search to stay up for three hours.”
Chen Qingzhi glanced at it, gave an “Mm,” and didn’t react much.
Her emotions were somewhat mixed, but she said:
“That’s perfect—I don’t have to go home with him now. I can stay with the crew and continue filming.””Are you out of your mind?”
Su Qian jabbed Chen Qingzhi’s stubborn head with her index finger, exasperated:
“Do you even know what position your husband holds now? The newly appointed head of Xingzhou Group! He holds an absolute controlling stake of eighty percent!”
