"..."
Watching her slightly awkward gait, Wen Tingxue suppressed the urge to step forward and help her.
Fortunately, Xiao Ya quickly came out and helped her to the lounge.
The director had previously thought her status in Han Xianyun's heart was just so-so.
Now, he dared not slight her.
No matter who Han Xianyun was supporting today, it was best not to offend anyone.
"We've been filming for so long, let's take a break and resume tomorrow?"
The director looked at the male lead, a rich second-generation, who nodded listlessly, "Whatever."
Not long after, Wen Tingxue heard Xiao Ya run out and say, "Sister Xiaoyi says she doesn't need a break, and she'll be out in ten minutes."
Wen Tingxue had witnessed Xie Jin Yi's desperate pursuit of her career.
She arrived at the parking lot.
Han Xianyun was leaning against his car, smoking.
Broad shoulders, narrow waist, a few buttons undone at the collar, revealing a chest and collarbone marked with scratches.
Relaxed and alluring.
Many passersby turned to look at him.
To be honest, even without the identity of the head of the Han family, he wouldn't starve relying on this appearance.
"Fourth Brother."
Wen Tingxue spoke, suppressing her inner thoughts.
Han Xianyun responded lazily, and before she could open the car door, he turned on the lights of another car.
"Hm?"
Wen Tingxue looked at him in confusion, then understood.
Looking at Xie Jin Yi's condition just now, it was likely he hadn't held back, and there might still be a lingering scent in the car.
Han Xianyun did not have the habit of corrupting younger generations, nor did he like to talk about such things openly.
His gaze swept over the ring on her hand.
"Not yet," the girl's tone became more animated when this was mentioned, "It was just a proposal."
Han Xianyun looked at the happy smile on her face and couldn't help but smile, "So, the rumors online are true?"
"Yes," Wen Tingxue nodded helplessly.
The origin of the matter was rather dramatic.
Someone on an app shared travel photos.
Most of them were taken in Phuket.
Then, someone in the comments asked, 'When did you go?' and the blogger replied, 'Seven days of National Day.'
That person lamented, '[If you had gone two weeks later, you might have caught Yu Wenli's proposal ceremony.]'
Frankly, no one believed it at the time.
Because Yu Wenli did not want Wen Tingxue to be caught in the vortex of public opinion.
He had paid a high price to suppress the news of the proposal.
Therefore, this comment didn't make much of a splash.
But not long after, someone discovered that Qiao Xixi's IP location was in Phuket.
Most people knew the relationship between Qiao Xixi and Wen Tingxue, they were best friends.
Connecting this with the previous comment, some netizens followed suit and tracked the locations of Xing Jiahe, Mu Chen, and Chi Zerui.
Even Fu Ran and others, no one knew how they managed to track them.
Regardless, they discovered that except for Chi Zerui who was in Country Y, everyone else was in Phuket.
This immediately caused an uproar.
If the group of best friends and the group of best buddies all appeared in Phuket, what else could it be but a proposal?!
That day, #YuWenliProposal#, #YuWenliPhuket#, and other trending topics hit the hot search list.
They even overshadowed the popularity of several popular celebrities who had officially announced their relationships.
However, Lin's Records and Yu Wenli's studio did not respond to this.
Everyone had their fun and then dispersed.
Until Yu Wenli appeared in the Imperial Capital, dressed in black workwear, wearing a mask, making the ring on his left ring finger particularly eye-catching.
Although he had worn rings before, they were all decorative.
Completely different from this one.
Facing the fans' questions, he maintained a tacit attitude.
However, his words and actions clearly indicated.
His girlfriend was an ordinary person, and he did not want fans to pay too much attention.
The fans were also obedient. When he said not to pay attention, they lowered the heat of the topic.
What's more, Yu Wenli had stated that he was in a relationship since his debut.
He protected his girlfriend so well, and his major fans admired his capability and character.
Naturally, they wouldn't dig deeper.
Soon, several trending topics about Yu Wenli's engagement faded from the hot search list.
She paused and Wen Tingxue added, "But the photo is fake."
Along with Yu Wenli's proposal, a picture of what was suspected to be the scene also broke out.
It was also a proposal.
It was also in Phuket.
Even more coincidentally, the groom's physique and profile did bear some resemblance to Yu Wenli.
The distance was far, and many people believed it to be true.
Especially the girl being proposed to, she was petite and had short hair.
Completely fitting the image of the "Short-Haired Girl" that Yu Wenli sang about.
Several coincidences converged, and the popularity of the photo soared.
And because the major fans collectively reduced the heat of the topic, the credibility of the photo also increased.
Yu Wenli originally intended to come forward and clarify, but the photo was too blurry to see the specific appearance.
After thinking about it, he decided to play along and wait for the heat to completely subside.
Otherwise, this matter wouldn't pass in a short time.
"..." Han Xianyun remained speechless for a moment, "My eyes aren't blind."
That photo was clearly fake at first glance.
"Oh," the girl, realizing her unnecessary explanation, pursed her lips awkwardly and said, "I was just mentioning it."
Quite innocent?
Han Xianyun chuckled helplessly, "Anyway, no matter what you think, I support it. However, if Yu Wenli dares to bully you, feel free to come to me. Fourth Brother will definitely back you up."
"..." Wen Tingxue gave him a strange look, "You came to me just to say this?"
"Otherwise?" Break up a happy couple?
"It's just..." Their eyes met, and Wen Tingxue quickly looked away, "It's just quite unexpected."
She truly didn't expect him to say this.
Their relationship was neither too close nor too distant.
This was the first time she truly felt the warmth of a 'brother' from him.
Han Xianyun raised an eyebrow with understanding, "Then I haven't done enough."
-
The fourth-year university classes officially ended in mid-November.
Wen Tingxue officially joined Sivan as an employee in the creative department.
She was incredibly busy every day, with a packed schedule. Although tiring, it also eased a lot of her longing for Yu Wenli.
After all, he was even busier than her now, with countless schedules flying everywhere, and getting eight hours of sleep was a luxury.
Most of the time was spent on airplanes.
She recalled the longest conversation they had was on the day he hired an assistant.
From then until now...
Wen Tingxue rested her chin on her hand and thought, it must be almost two months.
Time really flew by.
In a while, it would be Chinese New Year.
She wondered if he could return to Jiangcheng for the New Year.
As she was thinking, a message popped up on WeChat from Xiang Bei, Yu Wenli's assistant:
[Sister, Brother Yu asked me to tell you that he might be going back in the next two days.]
Because they met so infrequently, to avoid missing each other, Yu Wenli would inform her in advance.
After all, her schedule was easier to adjust than his.
The key point was, it was inconvenient for him to come to her company.
He could only go home.
[Okay!]
Wen Tingxue quickly replied, and also inquired about Yu Wenli's recent situation.
Mentioning Yan Jun made him cry, and his father developed high blood pressure.
It was practically pushing him to his death.
Wen Tingxue, however, thought: "If you are going to have an arranged marriage, what about Xie Jin Yi?"
