Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Long Xiaotian stood aside and spoke up, ”Yeah, it’s really similar, it’s Lu Yi, from last week’s news. Strange, haven’t seen it recently.”

The old man listened and spoke proudly, ”That’s because Xiaoxi is good-looking.”

Long Xiaotian, ”Yes, old chief.”

Huo Qichang nodded.

Yan Xiaoxi sat there with a look of embarrassment. This praise was too much pressure; she couldn’t possibly tell them that the woman in the rumor was her, right?

If she didn’t tell them now, would they think she was intentionally hiding it if they found out later?

After hesitating, she said softly, ”I saw it too, and felt like it was me.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Qichang, the old man, and Long Xiaotian all turned to look at her.

Yan Xiaoxi said generously, ”Probably his assistant tagged the wrong person, and tagged my Weibo, so I had no choice but to shut it down.”

Long Xiaotian’s mouth almost turned into an O shape.

So does that mean the female third who was criticized terribly in the gossip a while ago was really Reporter Yan?

Huo Qichang, ”...”

The old man, ”...”

The two of them didn’t know the ins and outs of the matter and thought the entertainment circle was always like that, always stirring up trouble, so they didn’t think much about it.

Only Long Xiaotian on the side showed a complex expression.

That Weibo post, was it really posted by Lu Yi himself?

Even if it was written by an assistant, just how careless could one be to tag the wrong Weibo!

Forgive him, he didn’t believe it.

Could Miss Yan really have had a past relationship with Emperor Lu?

Yan Xiaoxi noticed Long Xiaotian’s expression, guessed he might have seen similar news, and softly coughed, ”I know him; we were in the same orphanage before, had quite a good rapport back then, but after he entered the entertainment circle, we haven’t kept in touch much.”

Her words were to avoid planting a time bomb due to past events.

Everyone has a past; no one is a blank slate.

If they minded because of this matter, it was better to speak openly sooner rather than later.

The old man, ”Oh, I see.”

Huo Qichang also followed with a ”Hmm.”

Everyone was clever and soon understood that Xiaoxi and Lu Yi probably had dated before, and after Lu Yi entered the entertainment circle, they broke up.

As for the matter Long Xiaotian mentioned, seeing Xiaoxi’s explanation, there had to be more to the story.

The Boss must be aware; how to handle it was his business.

Xiaoxi was transparent and spoke so freely, the old man appreciated her from the heart, finding her much better than those girls feigning pity or trying to act smart.

In short, he trusted Adong’s judgement.

Long Xiaotian stood there, suddenly feeling that he was being nosy, and didn’t dare say more.

Huo Qichang realized his faux pas, mentioned it.

The old man, fearing Yan Xiaoxi’s embarrassment, chatted with her.

Seeing their attitude, Yan Xiaoxi felt much relieved.

Probably it’s the grace of an aristocratic family there.

...

After lunch, she returned to the dormitory; it was already past two. She couldn’t keep up with the afternoon training, lay on the bed, and after half an hour, woke up. She glanced at her phone; he hadn’t called yet, must still be busy, so she didn’t disturb him.

She got up, opened her laptop, sat at the desk, and processed some drafts.

Around four o’clock, her phone rang.

Thinking it was Jin Bo, she answered without looking, ”Jin...”

Hearing Lu Yi’s voice, the word ’Mayor’ was automatically omitted.

Lu Yi, ”Xiaoxi.”

Yan Xiaoxi, ”Emperor Lu is idle recently?”

Lu Yi listened to her voice and felt a lump of sourness stuck in his throat, ”Xiaoxi, are you... are you really with Mayor Jin Bo?”
