Chapter 141 - No More Hype
Chapter 141: No More Hype
“I got it.” After Jiang Li said that, she fiddled with something on her phone. She looked at Fu Jiuxiao from the corner of her eye. He wanted to know what she was doing but he was holding it in, while the corners of his lips curled up.
He was indeed jealous.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li stuffed the phone into Fu Jiuxiao’s hand. “See? I told them that I have a fiancé.”
The moment Jiang Li posted this Weibo post, all the fans felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on their heads.
“No way, she has a fiancé?”
“I told you that this program team would definitely hype up the couple, but I guess that her fiancé is angry.”
“The couple hat I liked ended just like that.”
The fans wailed in grief. Jiang Li’s action was no different from openly going against the program team.
A few minutes after the Weibo post was posted, Jiang Li’s phone rang.
She saw that it was the program team calling, so she picked up the phone and put it on speaker.
“Miss Jiang, please take back your statement. The program team is just creating hype. You don’t have to be so nervous.”
“I’m sure your fiancé will understand…”
Jiang Li looked at Fu Jiuxiao’s increasingly gloomy face and gently held Fu Jiuxiao’s hand, shaking her head at him.
It was as if she was telling him to leave this matter to her.
“I’m sorry, I can’t take back my statement. It’s better for you to give up the idea of creating a couple.”
After Jiang Li said that, she hung up the phone without waiting for their response.
The program team was so angry that they cut back on the scenes between her and Lu Yang in the second half of the program.
Fu Jiuxiao looked at Jiang Li and asked, “Don’t you worry that your previous efforts might go to waste?”
“What’s there to worry about? I don’t plan to stay in this circle for a long time. In comparison, I value our engagement more.”
Fu Jiuxiao suddenly approached her. “Oh? Is it because of responsibility, or because you love me?”
Jiang Li unconsciously leaned back and fell straight onto the sofa.
The ambiguous atmosphere between the two was slowly surging. Just as Fu Jiuxiao was about to kiss her again, Jiang Li’s face turned red.
“You can think whatever you want about me. I have other things to do.”
Jiang Li gently pushed his hand away, and Fu Jiuxiao actually stepped aside.
Jiang Li picked up her phone and was about to go upstairs. After all, the development of the drug still needed to be followed up.
At that moment, her phone rang again. She looked at the unfamiliar number and hesitated for a while before picking it up.
“Hello, who is this?”
“I’m sorry, Miss Jiang Li. I hope I’m not disturbing you. I’m Lu Yang. I know that you might not be able to accept the idea of hyping up the couple for the time being, but it’s really beneficial to both of us. Don’t you want to reconsider?”
“I’ve thought about this matter very clearly. I don’t plan to consider it either. I won’t create hype for the couple.”
After Jiang Li hung up the phone, he blocked the number and went upstairs with a sigh of relief.
Fu Jiuxiao, who was still sitting on the sofa, smiled in satisfaction after hearing Jiang Li’s words. Watching this variety show again, he found it much more pleasing to the eye.
On the other side, Lu Yang, who had his phone hung up, smashed his own phone.
“Where does she get her pride from? I’m a rising male celebrity. I’m willing to be a couple with her because I’m giving her face.”
“To put it bluntly, if she wasn’t good-looking, I wouldn’t be willing to be in the limelight even if she paid me.”
“She actually dared to reject me. Hmph, she really doesn’t know what’s good for her. Sister Hua, arrange for the following interview. I need them to ask a few questions.”
Jiang Li was still following up on the progress of the drug’s development and asked a few key questions when she heard her cell phone beeping non-stop. When she lowered her head, she realized it was actually her Weibo notifications.
“What? She’s actually a scumbag. How disgusting.”
“Can a scumbag get out of the entertainment industry? It’s easy to earn money in the entertainment industry, but it’s not for people like you to earn.”
Scumbag?
With doubts, Jiang Li opened her Weibo and realized that it was related to a live interview with Lu Yang.
“May I ask what is the relationship between you and Jiang Li? This person just publicly said on Weibo today that she has a fiancé. It seems that she rejected the couple between the two of you.”
“I didn’t expect to her reject the couple matter. Maybe it’s because she’s usually kind and self-motivated. That’s why it gave me an illusion. However, everyone has their own choices, right?”
Ha, he was really smart.
Jiang Li sneered and unconsciously narrowed her eyes.
