Chapter 43
Public opinion had completely swung in Chi Jing’s favor.
【So pitiful, this is too tragic. Jiang Yucheng’s extreme fans are really something.】
【He’s handsome and has great acting skills. When the fan base grows, the weirdos follow.】
【I hope he wasn’t hurt. Someone protect that face that looks like a rare treasure!!!】
【The eighth wonder of the world is Chi Jing’s face. How did I not notice how handsome he is before? After seeing him on the variety show, I’m obsessed. The way he danced in the bar totally won my heart.】
【Rumor has it that Jiang Yucheng rushed to the police station without even removing his makeup after hearing about Chi Jing.】
【I’m starting to believe what that marketing account said earlier. These two must be involved with each other.】
【Hard to believe. Jiang Yucheng seems like someone who would never be interested in anyone else.】
【No, no, no. The people saying this haven’t seen the latest travel variety show. Check it out, plus some live streams and paparazzi photos. You’ll see that he is like a peacock displaying its feathers.】
【That’s a fitting description. He really does seem like a peacock. He sticks to Chi Jing like glue. Unless the director forces them apart for tasks or Chi Jing sleeps in, he is almost always wherever Chi Jing is.】
【Just checked Jiang Yucheng’s fan page and saw that some of his fans are heartbroken… but most are still giving their blessings.】
【I’m one of those giving blessings. Mainly because it’s rare for Jiang to like someone so much, and fans don’t really matter to him. Those complaining about how tired they are from voting are just being wishful thinkers.】
【Jiang Yucheng’s rational fans are quite numerous. It’s said that even if he doesn’t act, he’s still quite wealthy. His family should have some background.】
【Yes, it’s said that when he first debuted, he lived in a large apartment in the city center with a car garage. But he didn’t act like a big shot on set, which is quite rare.】
【Leaving the crew without a word today isn’t acting like a big shot. Don’t spoil him too much.】
【I’m totally rooting for this. The first time he’s acted like a big shot is because of Chi Jing. If it’s not true love, I’ll stand on my head and wash my hair!】
【If it’s not true love, my husband can eat shit!】
【??? There’s no need for that.】
After returning to the hotel, Chi Jing received a call from Chi Yu.
Chi Yu sounded very angry, with background noise of Tang Shen and Tang Zhengqing chatting.
“Chi Jing! Someone’s bullying you!”
Chi Jing sneered: “What bullying? She didn’t even touch me.”
Chi Yu: “That’s still bullying! Your father has already sent a lawyer over.”
“Too much trouble.”
“Not at all. Your father and I will also come over.” his tone softened a lot as he whined and cajoled Chi Jing, “Chi Jing, is there anything you want to eat? Daddy will bring it over.”
“There’s already food here,” Chi Jing said, “You’ll have a hard time adjusting to this place.”
He was particular in his daily life but could suppress his fussiness when necessary. Chi Yu, however, was even more delicate and would find it hard to adapt to life in such a small town.
“I won’t. Chi Jing, trust Daddy!”
“I’m going back tomorrow.”
Chi Yu immediately abandoned the idea of going to the film city, “Then I’ll prepare two cups of lemon tea at home and wait for you. Is there anything else you want to eat? Daddy will book a top-quality steak and have a chef cook it at home tomorrow.”
“Anything is fine.” Chi Jing left his hand hovering over the phone’s hang-up button. “I’m hanging up.”
Chi Yu: !!!
The phone was hung up with a snap. He snorted, put away his phone, and looked up to meet the curious gazes of his husband and son.
Tang Shen’s lips moved: “Is Chi Jing coming back?”
Chi Yu: “Yes, he’s coming back tomorrow.”
After answering, he changed the subject, “Chi Jing has really grown up. He doesn’t even show affection to me anymore.”
Tang Zhengqing quickly hugged him to comfort him.
Only Tang Shen frowned slightly, noticing Chi Jing and Jiang Yucheng’s increasingly close relationship but unsure if they were just lovers or if their relationship was more serious.”
Dad, Father, do you both support Chi Jing being with Jiang Yucheng?”
Chi Yu, lying lazily against Tang Zhengqing, began counting Jiang Yucheng’s good qualities on his fingers.
“Good-looking, wealthy, capable of supporting Ah Jing, and able to handle his personality.”
“We’re not short of money in our family. Father and I can support Chi Jing.”
“No, no.” Chi Yu shook his index finger, “Chi Jing likes Jiang Yucheng himself, and your father and I believe in freedom in love.”
Tang Shen: ?
He opened his mouth, looking a bit confused, “Does Chi Jing really like him?”
“Chi Jing does like him.” Chi Yu said, his thoughts seemingly drifting back to the past, “Chi Jing wouldn’t engage with anything or anyone he doesn’t like.”
“Anyone who can be with him through a complete and mature period must be someone he truly loves.”
Hearing this, Tang Shen looked dejectedly at the floor.
“Alright,” he said, “But the contract for the stock changes is already drafted. Father, please take a look.”
