As soon as they got off the plane, everyone in the crew quietly left the airport, dispersing to avoid walking together since forming a group would be too eye-catching.
Director Qian couldn’t afford VIP passage for them.
Ahead, mbers of the "Special Action" crew walked through a gate, and suddenly there was a fierce shout from the crowd outside.
It was strange; the crowd was clearly yelling at other crew mbers, but the content was unexpectedly:
"Jinxia, is the mysterious man exposed online your boyfriend, who is he?"
"Jinxia, it’s rumored that you are already engaged, is it true?"
"Jinxia, have you and the mysterious man already t each other’s parents?"
After yelling about these, the more formal questions directed at the crew mbers ca, but still revolved around Jinxia’s scandal:
"Do you know Jinxia’s boyfriend, have you seen him?"
"Has Jinxia ever ntioned her boyfriend to you?"
"Who is Jinxia’s boyfriend, is he also a celebrity in the industry?"
...
The questions poured like a storm, with voices stacking like layers of waves, seemingly capable of engulfing a person.
The "Special Action" crew actors who walked out first were dumbfounded, as their bodies were pushed around by reporters, hands forced into accepting microphones for interviews.
If they didn’t take the microphones, the sharp devices would stab into the actors’ mouths, noses, eyes, and heads, as the reporters were desperately seeking first-hand information to capture this explosive topic.
In the midst of such excitent, one crew mber was knocked to the ground by the dia reporters, creating a mont of chaos, forcing the airport to urgently dispatch security to maintain order.
Jinxia was at the back, and before she could get out, she heard the commotion ahead, causing her to pause.
The reporters’ voices were all mixed together; she could only hear noise from the front, but couldn’t make out the specifics.
A bad premonition arose in Jinxia’s heart; she walked to the edge, lowering her head to check her phone, while behind her, Luo You and Gong Hongyu arrived, gathering around her.
They also instinctively felt sothing was wrong and surrounded her first to offer so protection.
When she opened her phone, she found that her calls and W ssages were flooded; without ti to clear the glaring unread numbers, her first reaction was to open Weibo to check the trending news.
Without even entering the search, a real-ti news popup appeared on Weibo, with the headline occupying the largest section—
[Exclusive, Jinxia’s mysterious boyfriend appears, both sides have t the parents, rumored to be engaged!!]
Jinxia’s heart skipped a beat when she saw the photo; it was clearly a picture of them shopping on the island!
Even Mrs. He and Aunt Rui were vaguely in the fra!
For so reason, she suddenly felt a glimr of relief. At least from the exposed photo, the paparazzi captured her clearly, but others around were very blurry.
Although everyone was in the picture, the faces of other people were unclear, aning it wouldn’t cause trouble for Aunt Rui.
It didn’t matter if Mrs. He appeared since she had already shown her face last year when Aunt He Hui caused a scene at their ho.
But if Aunt Rui’s face was visible, those who knew her would imdiately associate the mysterious man in the photo with Sheng Yan.
This would make Sheng Yan’s efforts to disguise himself with a mask for nothing.
Fortunately, everyone else was blurry and couldn’t be clearly seen...
Jinxia breathed a sigh of relief and quickly scanned the news report she had opened, just as another call ca in—it was from Brother Zhang Ming. She answered it.
"Hello, Jinxia, where are you?"
Zhang Ming spoke quickly, but his words were clear, carrying a sense of calm and composure.
Jinxia replied softly, "I’m still at the airport. I planned to leave, but the other crew mbers went out first, and suddenly got caught by the paparazzi, causing so incidents, so I didn’t go out."
Clearly relieved, Zhang Ming said, "It’s good you haven’t gone out yet. Don’t go out, say nothing to the dia about this issue, or we’ll be in a passive position."
Jinxia couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Zhang Ming, will my relationship with him be exposed?"
Zhang Ming asked back, "Do you want to be exposed?"
Jinxia slightly tightened her grip on her phone, with a look of confusion and hesitation... but then a trace of determination flashed:
"I don’t mind being exposed, but I don’t want it to co out this way!"
Being exposed through paparazzi’s sneaky photos isn’t beautiful at all!
It’s pure, legitimate dating, but because of the paparazzi, it feels like an affair, completely catching one off guard.
Originally, Jinxia sowhat had the intention of letting the paparazzi find out and expose them, or else she wouldn’t have publicly admitted that her visitor at the "Devil’s Sea 4" wrap-up banquet was her fiancé.
Back then, she thought if soone revealed it, she would simply go with the flow and make it official, after all, it had been hidden for a long ti.
Besides, saying it in front of everyone at the ti felt very satisfying.
Now, however—
She realized the effect of being exposed made her unhappy.
If given another chance, she might not have declared him her fiancé so recklessly in front of everyone, but she didn’t regret her decision back then.
Zhang Ming thought for a mont and said, "Alright, let’s go with your idea. I also don’t suggest you go public now; I hope you two openly reveal it on your terms, not as a hasty response to scandal.
Leave the airport first and co to the company to make a decision together. If any paparazzi sees you and demands answers, rember not to respond!"
Jinxia nodded, "Okay."
After hanging up, she looked up at Luo You, "Brother Zhang Ming called and told us to return to the company before discussing it."
Luo You nodded, glancing at Gong Hongyu.
Gong Hongyu casually said, "You guys go first, I’ll walk out the main gate to cover for you!"
Luo You and Jinxia looked at him with gratitude, "Thank you!"
...
Due to the severe presence of paparazzi, traveling through the airport was extrely inconvenient. So people at the airport chose to call the police, causing further delays.
By the ti the police arrived to maintain order, Jinxia and her group already used the VIP passage to leave from another direction.
The resourceful paparazzi not only blocked people inside the airport, but also the VIP exit passage.
Although the airport’s VIP exit was designed to be very concealed, it couldn’t escape the sharp-eyed paparazzi.
As soon as Jinxia stepped out, she was surrounded by nurous paparazzi.
"Jinxia, is the rumor exposed online true, is that mysterious man your fiancé?"
"Jinxia, when did you start dating, how long has the secret romance lasted?"
"Jinxia, do you plan to get married, or are you already married and just hiding it?"
