NovelEnglishXiao Nian was furious.
In a flash, his Daddy Pei had disappeared from the banquet event. He had questioned the hotel staff, and they said someone had paid the bill.
But so what if that was the case!?
“Pei Zhen! Where on earth are you! You’re lazy and slack, and you just can’t be bothered!”
Xiao Nian called the missing Pei Zhen on the phone, sounding furious. Only, he hadn’t expected that the call made Fu Sichen even more furious.
The moment the line got through, and before Pei Zhen could even say a word, Fu Sichen had interrupted with a very icy, “Go away”. It gave Xiao Nian, who was on the other end of the line, a fright. Pei Zhen too was scared stiff.
Afraid that Xiao Nian would hang up, Pei Zhen immediately said, “Okay, Mr. Xiao, please don’t be angry. I’ll come back right away.”

It had been ages since Pei Zhen first called Xiao Nian ‘Mr. Xiao’. The first time Pei Zhen addressed him that way was when he first joined the entertainment circle.
Xiao Nian felt uneasy.
He wanted to ask Daddy Pei what was wrong, but Daddy Pei had already hung up, leaving a broken line which continued to be busy when he tried calling again.
When Xiao Nian saw Pei Zhen again, Fu Sichen accompanied him, following right behind.
The expression on Best Actor Fu’s face was stormy, to put it mildly, and his cold aura was so unwelcoming that it diminished the enthusiasm of the young celebrities. No one dared to approach him.
“Pei Pei.” Xiao Nian greeted Pei Zhen, and at the same time glanced at Fu Sichen. “Best Actor Fu…”
Fu Sichen shot poisonous daggers with his eyes at Xiao Nian just as the latter started to speak. Compared to his usual frostiness, Fu Sichen looked as though he was on a mission to kill.
What was wrong with him?
Xiao Nian looked utterly baffled and glanced at Pei Zhen as If pleading for help. However, his Daddy Pei had turned red in his ears and awkwardly avoided Xiao Nian’s eyes.
Something didn’t feel quite right to Xiao Nian. Relying on his years of experience in the entertainment industry, the great manager Xiao Nian’s instinct told him that something big was about to happen. That made him feel ill at ease.
The next day, a big thing did indeed happen, and it was the paparazzi that broke the news.
“Best Actors couple acting intimately, a blooming romance!”
The eye-catching heading drew the immediate attention of countless fans and scene-watchers. Unable to resist their curiosity, they clicked to read the news.
The write-up was ambiguous, and the picture posted was blurry.
If the reporter hadn’t drawn a circle around the figures In question, no one would have guessed that among the crowd in the picture, the two silhouettes in front of the snack counter were Pei Zhen and Fu Sichen.

“Date over a Cola Drink!”
“Dinner, movie, and what else afterward!”
The report wrote in a serious tone, and the treatment of the matter was professional, analyzing the possibility of coupledom.
The fans rolled their eyes on reading this article; apart from Korean idol fans, the rest of the readers had the urge to retaliate.
“Can the Best Actor and Best Actor candidate not be buddies?”
“Pei Pei works hard at filming, and can only meet up with his buddies at night. Even that should become a scandal?”
“Sichen hubby is the straightest man in the world, can we request the troublemaker not to create lies about his sexual orientation, thank you [polite smile].”
“So is our Daddy Pei! Pei Pei definitely likes girls only!”
The fans had seen too many such scandals and were tired of it. Especially when their statuses were on par, there was always an air of competition amongst the fans.
While the reporters had intended to draw eyeballs to their exciting discovery, they didn’t expect that the tables would turn on them. Who knew if there was a mastermind behind it? All that came back was a load of blame and criticism.
