"You know, making love..." Yu Shuchang said with a smile,
"The only reason I held back yesterday because I wanted you to enjoy, not feel used."
Sheng Yin’s face turned bright red.
She almost dropped the glass in her hand. "W-What are you saying?!"
Yu Shuchang laughed softly. "I’m just being honest."
Sheng Yin didn’t know where to look.
Her heart was beating so fast she thought it might jump out of her chest. She looked down at her lap and mumbled, "You’re always so calm..."
"I’m calm because I care about you," Yu Shuchang said gently. "I didn’t want to force you into anything. I wanted you to feel safe and happy."
Sheng Yin looked up slowly. "But... why ?"
Yu Shuchang smiled a little.
"Because you’re brave. You’re kind. You’re smart, even when you doubt yourself. And when I’m with you, I don’t want anyone else."
Sheng Yin felt her cheeks grow even hotter.
She looked away quickly, but her lips curved into a tiny smile.
"Now, can you tell the real reason?" Yu Shuchang asked in a hopeful voice.
Sheng Yin instantly stiffened.
"I feel tired...I will rest for now." She said, and with that, she stood up and left.
Yu Shuchang watched Sheng Yin’s back with a helpless gaze. He truly didn’t know what he should do.
..........
Yu Holea had so good news for the special departnt. On the last day of the shoot, she had found the location of the cultivator.
She had inford Luo Murong, who led his team and eventually found the cultivator.
On the way to the prison, the cultivator committed suicide, and Yu Holea could only sigh.
Just as she was about to deal with them, she suddenly rembered about Liu iyu and Zhao Yiran.
Both of them thought that they were doing a secret transaction, but what they didn’t know was that Yu Holea had deployed two ghosts to keep an eye on them.
From the mont she joined, Yu Holea had pinpointed the problem with Zhao Yiran.
Her aura was chaotic.
However, Yu Holea didn’t pay much attention. In the past so many years, she had seen many people with chaotic auras.
So were haunted by the evil spirit, so were haunted by their previous life’s mory, while so were haunted by the ghost of their enemy.
Yu Holea wasn’t able to maintain the indifference for a long ti, though.
She realized that Lin Zhihao did have two souls residing within him, but it was a common case. 40% of people have such a condition.
Logically speaking, the second soul hardly ever takes over the main body. Heck, they hardly ever gain consciousness.
The second soul in Lin Zhihao’s body should never have awakened and caused so much trouble.
But it did. That could only an that soone had externally stimulated the second soul.
Yu Holea wasn’t sure on the first day, but when Lin Zhihao had tried to attack the second day, Yu Holea sensed that soone from the mountain was trying to control Lin Zhihao.
That ant either Fang Jinhai or Zhao Yiran was the main culprit.
Then ca the day when Fang Jinhai was pranked by the production team...
It was the day Yu Holea realized that the real culprit was Zhao Yiran.
Maybe Yu i had used a disguise thod and beca Zhao Yiran, or maybe Yu i and her mother were controlling Zhao Yiran.
Zhao Yiran had given those misleading photos to Liu iyu while Liu iyu’s team was about to post those pictures at night.
Yu Holea knew everything...and yet she remained silent.
Why?
If soone was going to hand her over popularity, why wouldn’t she take it?
The best way to gain recognition in the entertainnt industry? Be dragged down into mud and change the situation with proof.
However...
Yu Holea was tired.
She had joined the entertainnt industry for fun. But the repeated dirty sche of the industry made her feel that everything wasn’t worth it.
So...
Yu Holea decided to retire from the industry after gaining so more popularity.
Thinking about how she has to change her major, Yu Holea had a headache.
That night, the internet suddenly lit up.
Photos of Yu Holea entering Lin Zhihao’s room and ambiguous photos of Xu Tian hugging Yu Holea from behind started to circulate on the internet.
People quickly took screenshots and shared them on social dia.
Trolls rushed in.
"Wow, Yu Holea is dating both of them?"
"She’s such a flirt!"
"So fake! Always acting innocent, but look at her now!"
In just seconds, the comnts got aner and aner.
So people even said she used her looks to climb up the ladder in the entertainnt world.
Yu Holea’s PR team saw the posts and was already prepared.
They had proof and statents ready to fight back. One of her assistants was about to send a post to clarify everything when...
Poof.
All the trending searches disappeared.
All the posts, pictures, and an comnts were gone—just like that.
The gossip sites that had uploaded the photos? They had deleted them, too.
Yu Holea stared at her phone in shock.
"...Huh?" she blinked. "Did Liu iyu change her mind?"
She sat there, stunned, staring at the now-normal trending list.
Across the city, Liu iyu sat with her manager, looking at her own phone with a pale face.
"...What the heck?" she whispered.
The manager frowned. "It was only online for a minute. A minute! We had five people upload at the sa ti. How did it vanish so fast?"
Liu iyu’s hands were cold. "Don’t tell ... Yu Holea’s backer is that powerful?"
They tried again.
This ti, they told a small blogger to post one photo and write sothing shady, just to test it.
Before the blogger could even press "send," a warning popped up.
[This content is restricted. Please contact support.]
"What?! They’re not even letting it be posted now?" the manager yelled, standing up.
Liu iyu was shaking a little now. "Just... who is protecting her?"
Even fake rumors were getting blocked before they could spread.
That wasn’t normal.
This kind of thing didn’t happen unless soone really high up was watching over her.
Soone who could make the biggest gossip sites delete their posts without a second thought.
"Is it her fiancé?" Her manager guessed.
"No!" Liu iyu declined,
"He is such a top-quality man. Why does he love Yu Holea? He must be angry seeing those pictures, right? Maybe he doesn’t want everyone to know that Yu Holea made him wear a green hat, right?"
The manager looked at Liu iyu as if she had gone crazy and said,
"If that was the case, then he would let everyone know that Yu Holea cheated on him so that everyone would hate her. He removed all the searches, because he is trying to protect Yu Holea."
Liu iyu’s face turned pale.
"Is that so?"
The manager looked at Liu iyu. "We can’t touch her."
Liu iyu bit her lip hard, her nails digging into her palm. "Then what are we supposed to do?! Just watch her rise while we do nothing?!"
The manager sighed. "If we keep going, we might end up being banned ourselves."
Liu iyu sat back, eyes full of disbelief.
Just as Liu iyu and her manager were still panicking about the failed rumors, sothing even scarier happened.
Boom!
A new wave of news hit the internet like a storm.
#LiuiyuHighSchoolBully
#LiuiyuCheatedOnTwoBoyfriends
#LiuiyuSugarDaddyExposed
Old pictures, videos, and chat logs started showing up one by one.
A crying classmate said she was bullied by Liu iyu back in high school.
Two guys shared how they both dated her at the sa ti and didn’t even know about each other.
One of them even showed expensive gifts she made him buy with his own money.
And finally, a blurry but real video of Liu iyu getting out of a rich old man’s car was posted.
Netizens went wild.
"Wait... she bullied people?!"
"So fake! All her ’sweet girl’ image was just a lie?!"
"She played with two boys and still had a sugar daddy?! That’s just disgusting!"
In less than an hour, everyone knew. Comnts, reposts, and angry ssages flooded in.
Liu iyu was shaking, her face pale like paper. She couldn’t believe it.
"AHHHHHH!" she scread, throwing her phone onto the floor. "It’s Yu Holea! It has to be her! Who else would do this?!"
Her manager was already on the phone with the company’s PR team.
"Yes, yes! We need an ergency plan—right now! No, don’t wait until morning! She’s trending everywhere!"
But it was already too late.
Even with a dozen statents, no one believed them.
anwhile...
In her room, Yu Holea sat on a white chair near her desk. She was in her cozy princess-thed bedroom, wearing a silky robe.
Across from her, Qiao Jun was sitting on the desk with his arms crossed.
He looked calm, but his eyes were sharp.
"So..." Yu Holea started, glancing up at him, "you were the one who posted all that about Liu iyu?"
