2663: Being Together in the Open

Being Together in the Open

When one truly loved another person, they would not bother with such trivialities.2

"I'm really happy today, daddy! We're finally reunited together in all sense!" said the boy with laughter as his eyes turned moist. He clumsily rubbed the tears away, feeling somewhat lost at the overwhelming bliss.

The man could not resist stroking his son's head. "I've never seen you cry before."

"I'm just feeling emotional right now!" The little one's eyes suddenly lit up in excitement. "Does that mean to say that little brother and I can openly hold hands with mommy when we're out on the streets?"

"Mm!"

"Can I also kiss and hug mommy without caring about the paparazzi?"

"Mm!"

"Yay! Hurray for daddy!" The boy jumped in joy.

"Are you that happy?"

"Yes! Of course, I am! Daddy can finally kiss mommy in the open, too! You no longer have to be sneaky as if you're in an illicit relationship."

"Illicit?" The corner of Mu Yazhe's eyes twitched. "Where did you learn that word from?"

"…Youyou."

Bursting into a bout of hearty chuckle, he picked up his son and stroked his nose. "Alright. Let's go release fireworks now."

"Okay!"

…

The next day, news of Mu Yazhe and Yun Shishi announcing their relationship in last night's press conference had the entire showbiz boiling with excitement. This was especially so online, with the netizens being in a frenzy on Weibo.

Those who sided and supported Ji Yan in her cause to safeguard her relationship were totally caught off guard by the one-eighty change in the situation.

What!

So Ji Yan is the real third party?

Yun Shishi, who's been accused as a shameless hussy, is actually innocent?

Everything's just a lie and part of Ji Yan's machination to ride on Yun Shishi's coattails?

Everyone took this news with a pinch of salt as they felt quite confused about the sudden revelation. For some time, they did not know whose words they should trust as no one knew how the situation might change in the next second.

Nevertheless, many fans had come to realize that the wrongly accused actress was not as debauched as Ji Yan described her to be. In contrast, when the latter's ugly side was finally exposed to the public, the tide instantly changed. With the public now favoring the previously lambasted and boycotted artist, they now wanted the guilty party to leave showbiz.

Countless hate comments could be found on Ji Yan's Weibo page.

[How could you be this shameless?]

[Lowdown b*tch! Despicable! To think I bought your lies! I've never expected you to be the one lying! How vicious and manipulative you are!]

[I was almost fooled by you! 'Let's protect and fight for love'—bah! I wasted my sympathy on you! Turns out that millions of people, including myself, were fooled by you!]

[Why did 'Extreme Youth' hire such a scheming actress? Is there no one else in showbiz who can act her role?]

[Trust me to malign my idol, Yang Mi! Mimi is such a righteous person! When Yun Shishi was accused of being a third party, she immediately came forward to voice her support for her colleague. I don't regret being Mimi's stan!]

…

As for the press conference, its live broadcast hit the ten-million mark in viewership while its rerun hit the billion mark in click rates.
