"I think..."
Ji Xiaoli tilted her head slightly, smiling calmly. "No man would like to see his fiancée involved in a sugar - baby scandal. If this public opinion doesn't stop..."
Her smile grew colder, and her long eyelashes fluttered slowly.
"I can't guarantee what he'll do to this 'other woman'."
The so - called "other woman" in front of Ji Xiaoli froze. The back of his head, wrapped in bandages, started to throb again.
He even wanted to say something, but his lips were pale, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Not only him, but even someone eavesdropping in the dark was too shocked to speak at this moment.
Ji Xiaoli actually... admitted their relationship in person!
She actually called him her fiancé in person!
Zheng Nanfeng's empty and cold stomach suddenly welled up with a warm current.
Sure enough, it wasn't in vain that he had his stomach washed.
God wouldn't be so cruel as to let him be unlucky all the time!
Seeing Ji Xiaoli walking towards the ward, Zheng Nanfeng quickly dodged inside the door and rushed back into the room.
Pulling the quilt over himself, Zheng Nanfeng pretended to be a weak patient who had just woken up.
"Awake?"
Ji Xiaoli gently closed the door and walked towards him. "Are you feeling better?"
"Cough, a little..."
Zheng Nanfeng, who had been full of energy just now, turned into a weak patient again. He covered his lips and coughed, looking exhausted between his brows.
"By the way, I seem to have heard you talking to someone just now?"
Ji Xiaoli sat down on the edge of Zheng Nanfeng's bed and replied, "Yes, Zhong Canxi."
Zheng Nanfeng gave a soft "oh", pretending to be nonchalant. After a moment of silence, he deliberately brought it up again. "So, what are you going to do about your situation?"
What to do...
Although it felt good to let out harsh words just now, Ji Xiaoli was really troubled when it came to the details.
"The main ones spreading this news on Weibo are Gossip Girl and Entertainment Granny Nine," Ji Xiaoli said truthfully. "I've tried to contact both of them, but neither of them bothered to reply to me."
"Of course they won't reply to you,"
Zheng Nanfeng sneered. "They're backed by Canxing Entertainment. Without the order from that entertainment company, would they dare to act?"
Ji Xiaoli felt even more dejected.
She couldn't even get in touch with those two marketing accounts, let alone the entertainment company behind them.
"But why do you have to contact them?"
Zheng Nanfeng asked. "If you want them to do something for you, just buy them out."
Ji Xiaoli:???
Zheng Nanfeng said seriously, "If it can be solved with money, why do you have to reason?"
Damn it!!
This is not a matter of reasoning at all. It's just that there's such an operation!!
"Of course," Zheng Nanfeng explained. "Actually, since last year, there have been rumors that Canxing Entertainment has been in poor operation and suffering internal losses. They've been crying out for a big company to acquire them. When this happened, my first thought was to have the Zheng Group acquire it. Then they'd have to speak for their big boss, right?"
"But..." Zheng Nanfeng suddenly looked at Ji Xiaoli, his eyes a bit resentful.
Ji Xiaoli felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze and couldn't help asking him, "What made you change your mind? Not enough money?"
Zheng Nanfeng: ...
Only she would think that the young master of the Zheng Group would be short of money!!
"I was afraid that you really wanted to keep that young fresh meat, so I didn't want to ruin your plan by making a move."
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoli wanted to cover his face with a pillow.
She asked sincerely, "Do I look like a bad woman who would keep a boy?"
"Not like," Zheng Nanfeng replied. "You are."
Ji Xiaoli: "..."
"Forget it. Anyway, help me contact Canxing Entertainment."
Ji Xiaoli thought for a while and added, "I'm definitely not going to acquire them - where would I put them? But since they're in a financial crisis, I can totally invest in them."
"OK! I'll contact them for you right away."
As Zheng Nanfeng said this, he slowly took out his phone. "Great. While having them refute the rumor, they can also emphasize again that I'm your fiancé, so that some ignorant people won't try to take advantage of the situation..."
"Wait!"
Ji Xiaoli was startled and quickly pressed down his hand that was about to dial. "What do you want them to emphasize?"
"I'm your fiancé," Zheng Nanfeng said as if it were a matter of course.
"I've already said that I don't recognize this. And you also promised me, didn't you?"
"But you just told Zhong Canxi outside the door that I'm your fiancé?"
"..."
Ji Xiaoli was speechless.
Fine, he was eavesdropping on their conversation.
"Come on, bro. I said that to him, not to you!"
"So...?"
So we still have no relationship!!
Ji Xiaoli really wanted to roar this out at him.
Zheng Nanfeng sneered angrily and complained, "Fine. You're really heartless. Just now when my fiancé identity was useful to you, you used it to ward off other suitors. Now that I'm useless, you just kick me away!"
"Fine, fine, fine. We have no relationship, and there's no need to clarify or emphasize anything. Just leave!"
All his momentary joy was for nothing!
"You!"
Ji Xiaoli glared at Zheng Nanfeng, who had shrunk into the quilt with his back to her. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll leave! If I come back, I'll call you dad!!"
Zheng Nanfeng rolled his eyes and mumbled, "If I let you come back, I'll call you grandma."
With a bang, Ji Xiaoli closed the ward door.
She was so angry!
He deserved to be hospitalized!
Ji Xiaoli took a taxi back to the dormitory. On the way, she received a call from Wei Yanlan.
Wei Yanlan was traveling in the Maldives at that time. She called Ji Xiaoli as soon as she saw the news.
"Xiaoli, are you... okay?"
Wei Yanlan's voice was filled with worry.
Ji Xiaoli rubbed her temples and was speechless for a moment.
Whether she was okay or not, things were already like this. Fortunately, the system bug had fixed itself, so she was relieved.
"I'm okay, okay. Everything that needed to be solved has been solved."
"Really... all solved?"
Wei Yanlan's voice was hesitant, obviously not believing. She walked to a quiet place with the phone and then continued, "What's going on between you and that Zhong Canxi?"
"What else could it be?"
"No, mom is asking you..."
Wei Yanlan lowered her voice a bit. "Do you really want to keep him, or is it just for fun?"
Ji Xiaoli:???
Is this something a mother would say!!
But Wei Yanlan sighed and said to herself, "Xiaoli, mom doesn't mean not to understand you, but... but we can't make such a big fuss! If you really want to, we can just do it secretly... You know what an affair is, right?"
