Chapter 2

This novel is only hosted on Foxaholic, copies found elsewhere are either stolen or plagiarized.

The VIP lounge was very quiet.
Liang Yin leafed through the magazine and drank half a cup of water.
She then raised her hand to look at the time.
It is now half past 7 and she seemed to have arrived early.

From time to time, there were passengers pushing their luggage outside the VIP lounge and some faint prompts of broadcast sounded.

Her flight’s departure is at 8.45.

In another 14 hours she will set foot on the soil of her motherland.

Liang Yin didn’t feel reluctant leaving the place where she had resided for the past 5 years even though she knew she would never come back.

After thinking of returning home yesterday, she booked a ticket in the afternoon then packed her bags.
Though it seemed hasty, there wasn’t a shred of chaos in her heart.
What ought to be taken and what’s not, her mind seemed clear.

There was still no reply for yesterday’s text message, but her heart was very calm.
She was never one who pestered endlessly nor beat around the bush.
She had loved Zhong Mingzhen for 13 years and once she had decided not to love anymore, she would indeed fall out of love.

After saying it, she would simply do it.

She wasn’t even willing to know why Zhong Mingzhen didn’t return her messages.

Two more people entered the threshold.
Zhou Jianchen walked to the front and sat down after finding a seat next to the window.

His assistant, Ah Zhao promptly dissuaded him soon after, “Brother Chen, this is too conspicuous!” He looked at the seat against the wall and whispered, “Let’s sit over there!” The seat that was next to the wall had its back against others and even a pillar that obstructed other people’s view should the seat be placed in a reclined position.

Zhou Jianchen frowned, but eventually he still complied and walked over to sit down.

There was nowhere to place his long legs once he sat on the couch, hence he leaned against the armrest immediately and flung the expensive sunglasses onto the table.

No flaws could be picked from this good looking face; distinctive contour and rigid nose bridge.
It was merely at this moment, his brows were knitted with an obvious bad mood while impatience filled his eyes.

Originally, he just wanted to find a secluded place where few people would recognize him for a quiet vacation.
But in the end, he was surrounded by people wherever he went: Are you Zhou Jianchen? Are you really Zhou Jianchen? My god, I’ve met Zhou Jianchen in person! Then, Can I have your autograph? Can I take a photo with you? Can you give me a hug….
There was not the least bit of difference from home.

At that moment, he just thought of returning to his home country.
So once he received a call yesterday, he immediately got his assistant to book the return flight.

It was less than seven days since he had left the country for abroad and had yet to overcome his jetlag.

His agent, Sister Shao, had said on the phone; what’s with you and Xu Lili? Ready to go public? I would trouble you to give me a heads up of the preliminary notification if you are going public!

He didn’t know what was going on but Sister Shao was on the verge of hollering – “See Weibo yourself!”

His assistant, Ah Zhao, had already asked the waiter for two cups of water.
He put away the sunglasses which were on the table before taking his seat and glanced at his boss.
He couldn’t help but placate him, “Brother Chen, don’t be angry.
This is a good thing.
It shows that you are famous and many people recognize you.”

He had only been with Zhou Jianchen for half a year and there were a lot of things which he still couldn’t understand yet.
Seeing him in such a bad mood now, he merely thought it must be due to the disturbances he had encountered everywhere on this trip.
Not mentioning days before but just this morning while he was having breakfast, he was once again recognized by an old auntie at the next table and was forced to shake hands as well as taking a hugging photo together.
Brother Chen just responded with a smile at that moment but once the old auntie left, he instantly pushed the plate away without touching the food and left.

He could actually understand Brother Chen.
No one would expect their life to be disturbed by others all the time, but who asked him to be so famous.

Zhou Jianchen was deep in thought.
He raised his head to glance at his little assistant after hearing his words and retorted vaguely, “Why don’t you just say that our country is now flourishing, hence the people are rich and they can now roam freely all over the world?”

Ah Zhao was somewhat startled.
He looked at him and lowered his head, not daring to utter a word anymore.
He realized he must have spoken wrongly but he didn’t know what his mistakes were.

Wasn’t Brother Chen popular? He was still the hottest male actor in the entertainment industry till date.
According to last week’s survey of website traffic, he was way ahead from those young idols.

Zhou Jianchen didn’t pay him anymore heed.
He merely swiped his cellphone’s screen and browsed it nonchalantly.

Xu Lili didn’t cause any more trouble.
The latest Weibo still stayed at the one posted at 10 yesterday morning where 10,000 comments had reached over 200,000 in just a few hours.

There were only three words under that Weibo, “Me and him.”

Following those words was a photo – one large hand holding a small hand with vague faces of only two silhouettes sitting next to each other.

The backdrop was patches of greenery and the location was unclear.

Zhou Jianchen took a glance before returning to his own Weibo account.
There were countless of @ and also tens of thousands more comments under his latest Weibo post.

That post was to promote the company’s event which was shared half a year ago and was not even uploaded by him.
He just tossed it directly to Sister Shao to do it for him.
He used to love sharing on Weibo, but now he wasn’t willing to respond at all.
Once it was uploaded, there were more than 30,000 comments but now it has already reached 180,000.

Browsing through it, it was mostly cries of request for the truth.

It wouldn’t have caused such a great sensation if it was just a simple public declaration of a romantic affair on Xu Lili’s Weibo, but it became extremely different when it involved him.

Although the faces on that photo were not clear, it still captured too many details.
The half exposed clothes and the semi disclosed wrist-watch on a hand that was good enough to endorse any kind of products, which were sufficient for those with discerning detective eyes to dig out the identity of that person.

Zhou Jianchen.
The public declaration of Xu Lili’s romantic partner had been proved to be Zhou Jianchen.
Just how amazing it was.

But they were not off target at all.

Zhou Jianchen looked at the video photos of Xu Lili and him appearing at the same event that were being pry out for analysis.
The final conclusion was both parties had good opinions and feelings for each other, yet what he truly felt was disgusting as if eaten fec*s.

The person in the photo was indeed him but he simply didn’t know how it was taken.
He actually knew the location.
He had a game of golf one sunny spring afternoon with several friends and Xu Lili was there too.
Both of them had some casual conversation and there was absolutely no photo taking, let alone a photo of them sitting together holding hands.
But why was there such a photo? He had caught a minor cold that day and felt somewhat tired after the game.
Taking advantage of such a good day, he took a seat and fell asleep.
If this photo really existed, the only possibility was Xu Lili took the opportunity for a sneak shot.

He woke up when he vaguely felt his hand getting touched at that moment.
He opened his eyes and saw Xu Lili sitting next to him, picking up a cup which she said she accidentally dropped.
He however fell back asleep after he reacted and simply didn’t think she would have done that.

He had really underestimated this Xu Lili.

Xu Lili is the current famous new artist who is being actively promoted by StarLight and has just won the most potential actress award.
He had worked with her before which hyped up some rumors.

It was the end of last year when they had both completed a spy-warfare movie.
At that time, he was the lead actor while she was the supporting actress.
This film had also elevated his career to a new height, while she won the best supporting actress award that prompted StarLight’s decision to promote her.
His elder brother even hyped up some rumors for them with a statute limitation of one year.

He has a lot of rumored girlfriends in recent years as everyone is willing to get a little stains due to his massive search traffic.
His elder brother mentioned it at that time and since he didn’t care much about it, he had agreed and willing to grant this kind of no-hassle favor; it was merely a few words within the script without any substantive cooperation.

He originally thought it was just an uncomplicated hype-up that nobody would take seriously, but who would have thought Xu Lili would ultimately be immersed into that role.
She had even looked for him purposely to confess her feelings at one of the celebratory banquets.
Hyping up rumors were fine but not getting real, thus he rejected her at that moment.

His usual rejection was: Sorry, we could only have business collaboration.

He thought this matter was over, yet who would have imagined she would create such an uproar in this short time.

She definitely must have come prepared! What is this for? Hyped up more traffic? Or forcing him to make it real? Had she never thought or feared about the backlashing after stirring up such a big ruckus?

He had to resist the impulse to verbally attack her, but Sister Shao told him that Xu Lili had disappeared after sharing that post on Weibo.
Nobody could find her or know what her plan was.
It was also not advisable to act rashly now.
They would have to just sit back and observe for any changes.

Zhou Jianchen had to really suppress his fury.
He did get schemed on by others all these years but this was the first time he got plotted this way.
What was the fate of those who had schemed him and how well did they live after? He must have become too kind in these two years that everyone wants to take a bite at him?

Is Xu Lili worthy of making it into reality?

“Brother Chen, look who’s there?

Zhou Jianchen was in a state of uncertainty when Ah Zhao suddenly whispered again and his train of thoughts were interrupted.
Subconsciously he looked along his line of vision which stunned him.

The VIP lounge was bright and spacious.
There were six or seven people seated scattered on the couches in the lounge.
At the diagonally opposite corner facing them was a woman sitting quietly by herself reading a book.

She has a simple black overcoat and a wide-brimmed bowler hat with long wavy hair.
The bowler hat covered half of her face but looking from this angle, the exposed side of the face contour was undoubtedly Liang Yin’s.

Liang Yin was once recognized for having the most beautiful side face in the entertainment circle.

Not mentioning her unique temperament too.

He just did not expect to meet her here.

Zhou Jianchen’s eyes deepened, this is the first time he saw her again in these 5 years.

The Film Empress Liang who was said to have vanished.
