Mo Rao shook her head humbly. “Don’t say that. Actually, you’re the one who’s smart. I’m learning as I film. It’s just that I’m learning faster than you in some aspects.”

“No, talent is something that can only be chanced upon by luck.” He Di shook his head.

The meal was quite pleasant and Mo Rao felt that she had made another friend. He Di seemed gentle and hardworking.

After dinner, He Di left first. After a while, Mo Rao put on her mask and hat and left as well.

Mo Rao thought that they wouldn’t be discovered, but the next day, Mo Rao and He Di were on the trending searches again. She felt that she had been topping the trending searches quite often recently.

This time, the photo was very clear. Mo Rao and He Di were sitting together. From the back, they looked like they were leaning against each other.

When Mo Rao saw these photos, she was completely speechless. Should she not have any friends of the opposite sex after entering the entertainment industry? Otherwise, the media would make it seem like they were being flirty.

“What nonsense!” Mo Yuan was also very angry when he saw this. He had been busy registering domestic entertainment management companies these days, so he sometimes didn’t have time to accompany Mo Rao. Some people were always taking advantage of her popularity.

Moreover, Mo Rao was Shen Feng’s girlfriend now. Didn’t this give off the impression that she was two-timing?

“Brother, did someone set up He Di and me?” Mo Rao asked with a frown.

“I’ll investigate. If I find out who it is, I’ll teach him a lesson!” Mo Yuan didn’t suspect Fu Ying this time. It was impossible for Fu Ying to create rumors of Mo Rao being with another man.

Mo Rao felt that something was wrong and suspected He Di, but when she thought of He Di’s cute smile, she felt that it was impossible.

Mo Yuan was still browsing the entertainment news.

“Why do I feel that Mo Rao and He Di seem quite compatible?”

“In terms of looks, they’re indeed compatible!”

“Actually, He Di is quite handsome. Hahaha… He’s just not as popular as Mo Rao.”

“President Shen is here with a knife!”

“President Fu is on his way with a cannon!”

The situation gradually became strange. Someone started to say that Mo Rao and He Di were quite compatible and even held a vote. The ratio of those who thought they were compatible had reached 68%.

Mo Rao felt a headache coming on. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have gone to eat with him. It was all her fault for being too soft-hearted. She had clearly just been photographed with He Di on the production team. How could she eat with him alone?

Mo Yuan entered He Di’s homepage. This person’s followers were increasing rapidly.

He guessed something. He Di probably had something to do with the news leaking.

Mo Yuan quickly issued a clarification statement.

The moment Mo Rao’s clarification statement was released, it attracted many people’s condemnation. Some people thought that she was a playgirl who was exposed for two-timing but didn’t dare to admit it. Some people even tagged Shen Feng and Fu Ying to let the two of them see how shameless Mo Rao was.

Soon, Shen Feng replied.

“This is definitely a misunderstanding. Please don’t spread rumors.”

Fu Ying’s response was simpler. “I believe Mo Rao.”

The responses of these two men highlighted Mo Rao’s popularity. The public didn’t expect Fu Ying and Shen Feng to believe Mo Rao even though Mo Rao had been photographed on a date with another man.

Mo Rao contacted He Di, hoping that He Di would cooperate and clarify things.

“Sister Rao Rao, I’m really too ashamed to see you. I just wanted to treat you to a meal to repay your kindness to me. In the end, things turned out like this…” He Di was actually crying and sounded quite guilty.

Mo Rao originally wanted to question him, but it was inappropriate for her to ask now. She might have been overthinking things. He Di wouldn’t do such a thing on purpose to gain popularity, right?

“Don’t cry. This isn’t your fault. Just send a clarification statement.” Mo Rao had to comfort He Di.

“Alright, I’ll send it immediately. Sister Rao Rao, just don’t ignore me in the future.” He Di’s voice carried a hint of guilt and nervousness, like a child who had made a mistake.

Mo Rao sighed. “When the matter dies down, we’ll still be friends.”

“Alright, Sister Rao Rao, you’re my only friend.” After He Di hung up, he quickly issued a statement, saying that he and Mo Rao were only friends and were discussing the script that day.

However, He Di’s clarification was useless. The netizens felt that they were just hiding their affair.

The more they explained, the worse it became. Mo Rao couldn’t sleep well that night. When she went to the production team the next day, she had dark circles under her eyes and looked very tired.

“Sister Rao Rao, are you alright?” He Di came to look for Mo Rao.

Mo Rao quickly took three steps back and waved her hand. “I’m fine, but when there’s no need for us to interact in public, it’s better not to, lest we get photographed by someone again.”

She only wanted to film and earn money. Why did she always have people going after her?
