Rosiley pouted her lower lip unhappily. “Yes, you didn’t make me do it.”
“Sachin, you have already made yourself so clear. How could I not compromise?”
Rosiley felt extreme helplessness and sorrow in her heart.
After obtaining her assurance, Sachin began to feel more at ease.
He sat up straight and thought for a while, then he said, “since there’s nothing between the two of you, let TEG News clarify the matter.”
“I’m going upstairs to call Morphy.”
After saying that, Rosiley stood up and was about to turn and go.
“Rosiley.” Sachin stopped her.
“Yes?” She turned around and looked at him in puzzlement.
She saw him smile, his eyes as deep as a serene lake. His calm voice came from between his lips. “Shall we take this opportunity to make our relationship known?”
“Huh?” Rosiley’s eyes widened in surprise.
His smile became more meaningful and suggestive.
…
In the end, they still did not make public their relationship. They merely asked Morphy to get the Public Relations Department to write a clarification statement and post it online.
At around the same time, Yan Xu’s office also issued a clarification statement.
The two statements were similar. They did not deny that the two had seen each other in a rendezvous at TEG Building. They were merely friends, not a couple in love as the gossip said.
These similar statements made netizens wonder if they had discussed their responses beforehand. The fact that they were denying their relationship at the same time made them even more suspicious.
Just when onlookers were getting suspicious, someone spoke up online for this couple.
“Yan Xu and sister Rosiley are indeed just friends. sister Rosiley already has a boyfriend. Don’t think too much, people! Yan Xu’s fans, Yan Xu is still yours! Think about what it would be like to walk in their shoes!”
There was the same Weibo post below both statements. The ID was “The Ceaseless Seeker.”
It was the online moniker of the actress, Leila Shen.
When Lu had accused Rosiley of pushing the pregnant Rorey, it was Leila Shen who had released a video to prove her innocence.
She had spoken up for Rosiley this time too. For some time, the internet was ablaze with all sorts of comments.
“What Yan Xu? Rosiley’s true love is Leila Shen!”
“Oh my god, my pure soul is burning!”
“Don’t be stupid, people. Leila Shen is just a cover to quash the rumors. Yan Xu and Rosiley are definitely a couple!”
“Don’t you all find it strange? The last time Rosiley was framed and hotly attacked online, it was the same Leila Shen who released a video. Now, she has come out again to deny the rumors about Yan Xu and Rosiley. Is she trying to piggyback on their fame?”
“The last post said that Leila Shen was trying to piggyback on their fame. I agree.”
“Bullshit. Our QianQian doesn’t need to piggyback on anyone’s fame. As her fans, we will make her popular ourselves.”
All of a sudden, all sorts of comments were made online. Some fans even fell out with one another. The situation had become chaotic.
“Is… this Leila Shen out to make trouble?”
Yayoi saw the brewing mayhem in the online discussions. She felt simultaneously tickled and annoyed by Leila Shen’s seemingly “chivalric” act.
Rosiley raised her eyebrows. “She has good intentions, but hadn’t expected the situation online to be so complicated.”
“The situation is not just complicated, but those netizens are simply too idle!”
Ying Xiaoxiao snorted contemptuously at the netizens who apparently had nothing better to do after eating heavy meals.
Rosiley could not hide her laughter. “Xiaoxiao, you used to adore stars and even fought with others over them. Were you so bored yourself?”
“I was… ” Ying Xiaoxiao gave a cold snort and lifted her chin proudly. “I was just defending my idol, quite different from them.”
Most netizens nowadays were hangers-on who would support whoever was the more dominant faction. They would smear the reputation of certain stars too, as was the trend. It was no longer the same simple online environment.
