Being pushed out the door, Ji Chengxi turned his head back and determinedly told her. âSo long as you have the slightest indications of being unwilling, no matter how outstanding that person is, we still shouldnâtâŚâ
His words stopped abruptly.
Lu Lixing was standing by the door, for god knows how long.
âBut! If heâs as outstanding as my brother-in-law, then, Sis, you should never let go of him!â Ji Chengxi smiled at Lu Lixing. âBrother-in-law, why havenât you showered? Is there something you need?â
Lu Lixing briefly looked at him. âTowel.â
âI have a new one. Iâll go get it for you!â After speaking, he took the chance and slipped away.
Looking at Ji Chengxi who had slipped out of the room, she intentionally lowered her voice and helplessly laughed. âHeâs only a nineteen-year-old university student, who knows nothing. Donât take his words to heart.â
âThe two of you really are biological siblings.â Lu Lixing laughed softly. âYour personalities are also similar.â
Ji Qingqing pondered, she isnât as dumb as Ji Chengxi, right?
The next morning, Ji Qingqing got woken up by an influx of message notifications from her phone.
She slept well last night, but in the meantime, the netizensâ comments were pushing her towards another heated frenzy.
The topic #Ji Qingqing and an unknown man went home together, was on the top search trends.
It wasnât because Ji Qingqing was too popular, nor was it because that topic was too shocking. As a matter of fact, it was because Ji Qingqing had too many antis. Over the years, she had gotten a number of male celebrities into the spotlight becuase her rumors, and due to this, the fans of these celebrities viewed her as a thorn in their side. These fans from various camps who usually quarreled with each other because of their idols, at this crucial moment formed an alliance, and worked together to target Ji Qingqing.
There was even an anti-Ji Qingqing fan club.
When Ji Qingqing saw that topic, she was stunned for a long while.
What kind of rubbish did these media outlets write?
She called Qin Yue to clarify yesterdayâs matter.
Qin Yueâs side was also busy with that matter. After listening to Ji Qingqing, he deliberated for a while then said, âQingqing, Iâll be frank with you. Currently, your public appeal is very bad. And also, you donât have any memorable works to support you. If you wish to wash away the bad opinions, then youâll need to create a brand new image and make people think better of you. Since youâve finished filming your drama, I have two variety programs here for you. Tell me which youâre interested in. Weâll arrange it for you.â
âWhat programs are they?â
âOne is a survival challenge program. The other is a dating-related program. These programs all have regular guests. The first one has been airing for about five seasons. Youâll be substituting as one of their regular guests. To be honest, as a replacement your room for creativity will be little. And if you donât perform well, you may attract even more antis. Adding on, although the second one is a new program, youâll need to group together with other guests and become dating partners and also live together for three days.â
When Qin Yue was introducing this program he was unsure. After all, President Lu was there. Itâll probably be rejected.
Ji Qingqing didnât know much about variety programs, and she also didnât watch much. But dating-related programs?
As a female who was going to be married, it wouldnât be appropriate, right?
âBrother Qin, about this matter weâll discuss further when Iâm at the company. If you really need a reply, then just wait a little longer.â
âOk then, weâll discuss a bit more on our side. Weâll talk again later if you really canât agree to it.â
âOk.â
Ji Qingqing ended the call.
On Lu Lixingâs end, the first thing he did when he reached his office was to give a call to Chen Shuyi and assign him to quickly resolve the entertainment news he saw online about Ji Qingqing last night.
Chen Shuyi went ahead with it.
After speaking, Lu Lixing thought of something again and asked, âWhen are you free?â
âIs anything wrong?â
In a serious and calm manner, Lu Lixing replied, âI would like to consult with you about marriage.â
