Chapter 432: The Explosion Among Mo-Mu CP Fans

What to do?

Yang Yi hadn’t thought about this aspect yet. He wasn’t particularly concerned about their relationship being exposed. What concerned him more now was figuring out exactly who had leaked the photos to that entertainment tabloid.

This feeling of having no control over things made Yang Yi feel uncomfortable all over, and he found it very unpleasant.

So Yang Yi simply comforted Mo Fei and then said to her, “Don’t worry. After all, you’ve already planned to make our relationship public. Consider this an opportunity—let’s go public and acknowledge it openly.”

Mo Fei said sadly, “That’s right, I wanted to make it public, but now it was suddenly exposed, without giving us any time to prepare… And how could the person who reported this news be so despicable? They even exposed Xixi’s photos!”

Xixi, who was nearby, heard her name and turned her head in confusion. She could not go out to play, so the little girl was a bit down. Fortunately, there was a TV in the hotel, and Xixi could watch cartoons.

But Xixi noticed that her father and mother were not paying any attention to her, as if they had never mentioned her name. However, Xixi still believed her ears. She crawled across the bed, tugged at her mother’s hem, and called out in her clear little voice, “Mama, I’m right here!”

Mo Fei pause for a moment. She turned her head, forced a smile at the little girl, and said, “It’s okay. Mama wasn’t talking to you. You can keep watching TV!”

She lovingly hugged Xixi in her arms, gently rubbing her little head, and sighing inwardly, “In the future, you may no longer have such a free and carefree life as you do now.”

Mo Fei did not want her daughter to grow up under the spotlight, nor did she want reporters to chase after her daughter like they chased celebrities. Because if that happened, the little girl’s strengths and weaknesses would both be magnified without limit. She was worried that Xixi would not be able to handle it and would be unable to grow up happily.

This was also why Mo Fei repeatedly hesitated about making her relationship status and family situation public. She was not worried that she would lose fans after going public—she had never regarded herself as an idol singer. Moreover, after she fell in love with and married Yang Yi, she had been so happy that she wanted to announce it to the whole world. It was only because of Xixi that she had so many concerns.

At this moment, Yang Yi’s mind was still racing. He didn’t have time to think about solving the problem. Instead, he thought about how it happened and considered many possibilities.

The first possibility was that Ju Jie had gone back on his word, saying one thing to Yang Yi’s face while doing another behind his back, deceiving him into trusting him before leaking the photos to the reporters.

Of course, this possibility was quite low. Judging from Ju Jie’s reaction, Yang Yi felt that he probably hadn’t lied. However, he no longer trusted his own judgment and wanted evidence!

The second possibility was that Niu Meiling was too hypocritical. She had agreed to Ju Jie’s request to his face, but then turned around and sent the photos to the reporters.

Yang Yi thought this possibility was quite high. After all, wasn’t Niu Meiling always like this?

But there were still a third and a fourth possibility. The third was what Ju Jie had suggested: Jian Chuo had secretly sold the photos to the reporters behind their backs. The fourth was something Ju Jie had not thought of, but Yang Yi had—perhaps the paparazzi hunter “Teacher Kou” Ju Jie had mentioned had sold the same photos to two different parties.

Yang Yi had not paid much attention to that paparazzi hunter before, because he thought these people were nothing more than a little flea that he could easily crush under his foot.

But now, it seemed that he was wrong!

Even a little flea could bring down an elephant!

There was a reason why figures like Zhuo Wei had stirred up trouble and caused those celebrities endless headaches in his previous life! Yang Yi felt that he had to start taking people like them seriously.

However, food had to be eaten one bite at a time, and problems had to be solved one by one.

Just as Yang Yi was deep in thought, Mo Xiaojuan, who had been looking at the computer, suddenly exclaimed, “Sis, your fans are making a huge fuss!”

Yang Yi and Mo Fei both moved closer. They saw that yesterday Mo Xiaojuan had posted on Weibo on Mo Fei’s behalf. Although she had only posted a photo of Mo Fei at the concert venue, the comments under this latest Weibo post had exploded!

From the several comments that had been pushed to the top, Yang Yi and Mo Fei saw that this news was no longer being reported only by that entertainment tabloid. Some major online portals had reacted quickly, obtained authorization, and reposted the scoop online!

Now, the news had completely spread.

The fans’ reactions in the comments were varied, with some expressing surprise and some finding it hard to believe the news was true.

“Mo Fei got married? What’s the situation? This news came so suddenly!”

“It’s not just that she got married. Look how old the child is!”

“That doesn’t make sense. How could she only get married when the child is already this old? And why was it only exposed now? What were the paparazzi doing all this time?”

“Could it be photoshopped? Seeking expert verification.”

Some people really began analyzing it in great detail.

“The photos are photocopies of the ones printed in the newspaper, so it’s impossible to tell whether they were photoshopped. But looking at the timeline, there’s a high possibility that Mo Fei has a child. When Mo Fei retired a few years ago, some newspapers had already speculated that she had gone abroad to get married and have a child!”

“Mo Fei retired six years ago, then got pregnant and had a child. The child should be around four or five years old by now. The child in the photos looks five or six, but celebrities’ children might have better nutrition and grow taller, so the age is probably about right. This news could very well be true!”

“So here’s the question: Who exactly is this Yang Yi in the photos? Did he only marry Mo Fei recently? If so… then what’s his relationship with this child?”

“Could he be the stepfather? Looks like Mo Fei isn’t such a good woman after all! And she was supposed to be the ‘Jade Maiden’…”

“It’s also possible that Mo Fei married into a wealthy family and became someone else’s daughter’s stepmother! Look at that little girl—the man is even holding her.”

“That seems unlikely, doesn’t it? And that man doesn’t look particularly rich either. I checked the car in the photo. It’s a Tyrant Wolf, worth around 600,000 yuan. It can’t even really be considered a luxury car.”

There seemed to be quite a few people making malicious assumptions and taking the opportunity to put them down. The fans’ emotions were stirred up, and apart from the previous comments, even more comments expressed their disapproval of Yang Yi and Mo Fei’s relationship, saying they could not accept it.

“Mo Fei, my goddess! How could she suddenly get married?”

“It’s not just that she got married. Her child is already this old! I feel like I’m about to lose it!”

“I don’t like this guy. He’s not good-looking! He’s not a good match for Mo Fei!”

Even more so, the fans who had previously supported the Mo Fei and Mu Li’ang CP had now exploded.

They completely blew up!

Some even resorted to vicious insults!

“Who the heck is Yang Yi? Weren’t Mo Fei and Mu Li’ang supposed to be together? Where did this guy even come from?”

“Waaah, I’m not happy! I don’t like Mo Fei marrying some random nobody. Yang Yi? I’ve never even heard of him.”

“Could it be that Mo Fei looked down on Mu Li’ang? But this guy isn’t even handsome! What’s the use of being tall? Can you eat height? Mu Li’ang is so talented, and instead of choosing him, you chose this guy. Are you blind?”

“That happy look on her face during the variety show was all an act, wasn’t it? That’s freaking disgusting! I was actually looking forward to Mo Fei and Mu Li’ang falling in love because of their songs!”

“Heh, isn’t this the kind of mess that’s common in the entertainment industry? They neither deny nor admit it. It’s obviously just publicity, fooling you into believing it. And you were still going on about the Mo Fei–Mu Li’ang pairing. Look at you now—dumbfounded, huh?”

“Do you think it’s possible that Mo Fei deceived Mu Li’ang’s feelings? She tricked him into giving her twelve songs, when in fact she had already had a child and gotten married?”

“Then Mu Li’ang is really pitiful. I’ve decided that from now on, I’m leaving Mo Fei’s fandom. I’ll only be a fan of Mu Li’ang!”

These comments made Mo Fei feel very uncomfortable. The situation was almost the opposite of last time. This time, the comments were overwhelmingly full of criticism and opposition. The blessings Mo Fei had wanted to see were there too, but there were very few of them.

“No matter who Mo Fei married, as long as she was happy, that was all that mattered!”

“Whether it’s Mu Li’ang or Yang Yi, it doesn’t matter to us. We just like Mo Fei’s singing. As long as she continues to sing well, we won’t care.”

“You’re married now, wishing you happiness! And you already have such a big baby. Sister Mo Fei, you’re a winner in life!”

These scattered words of blessing were drowned out by an endless stream of sarcasm and ridicule.

“Heh, it doesn’t matter who Mo Fei married. She married this nobody and angered Mu Li’ang. Do you think Mu Li’ang will still write songs for her in the future?”

“What we’re criticizing isn’t who Mo Fei married. We’re questioning whether Mo Fei played with Mu Li’ang’s feelings. To be able to write twelve songs for Mo Fei, I think Mu Li’ang must be a devoted man!”

Mo Xiaojuan looked at the page that Mo Fei was continuously scrolling through with the mouse and quickly comforted her, saying, “Actually, it’s okay. They don’t know that your husband is Mu Li’ang!”

However, even Yang Yi could no longer stand it. He said unhappily, “Isn’t this too exaggerated? These people, are they fans of Mu Li’ang or fans of Mo Fei? If I weren’t Mu Li’ang, would they actually try to break us apart?”

Mo Xiaojuan smiled and said, “Brother-in-law, don’t be so stubborn! Look at it from another angle. They’ve gotten their expectations high enough now. Then later, once we’ve decided how to acknowledge and make your relationship public, you can suddenly tell them that Yang Yi is Mu Li’ang and Mu Li’ang is Yang Yi. With such a sudden reversal, they’ll be so stunned that they won’t be able to say a word, staring in disbelief. Wouldn’t that be more interesting?”
