Generally, incidents like these are usually settled discretely by the hotel, contacting the newspaper, erasing photos, apologizing, and then it’s all over.
Celebrities typically don’t want to cause undue trouble for magazine media.
But Shen Manbing is no ordinary celebrity, she’s a national diva.
Shen Manbing spoke casually: “Well then, call the police, investigate her newspaper, and send me a lawyer’s letter.”
The general manager agreed hastily and someone escorted Xia Yangyang away.
It was now four in the morning.
Xia Yangyang had just finished her statement at the police station.
Old Bai had already arrived. Rather than scolding her, he even comforted her: “Paparazzi get hauled into the station all the time, you’ll get used to it. But you’re gutsy, girl, daring to break into the building. Just remember, all we’re doing is trying to make a living. There’s nothing profitable about risking your life.” fre(e)webno(v)el
Xia Yangyang responded: “Did I cause trouble for the newspaper? I’ve also deleted all the photos.”
“That was expected,” Old Bai replied, “Head office already got the call. Shen Manbing’s secret boyfriend is a big shot that we can’t afford to mess with. Even if you did manage to snap a pic of them together, it might not have been published. Why do you think no media company has managed to get proof of their relationship after all these years? Anyway, this is all in the past now. Don’t take it to heart.”
After Old Bai left, Xia Yangyang remained at the police station, staring blankly while sitting on a chair.
Orders from above were clear – no bail within 24 hours.
Half an hour later, Gu Qichen appeared at the police station.
Xia Yangyang was sinking her head into a cup of water when she noticed Gu Qichen’s slowly approaching shoes.
Xia Yangyang did not lift her head or stand, and acted as though she hadn’t seen anything.
Gu Qichen reached out and grazed Xia Yangyang’s head, “Have you reflected yet?”
Xia Yangyang turned her head away, “Don’t touch me, I don’t know you.”
Gu Qichen chuckled, “Come on, let’s go.”
Xia Yangyang didn’t move an inch.
All she ever wanted was an explanation.
During her time at the police station, Xia Yangyang thought about a lot of things.
Perhaps it wasn’t that Gu Qichen refused to explain but that he couldn’t explain.
For a long time now, Gu Qichen had treated her kindly, to the point where Xia Yangyang nearly forgot that, in the eyes of others, he was a ruthless, unreachable Gu Qichen.
Tonight, a single photograph exposed his true self.
Thinking of Shen Manbing’s appearance in her bathrobe earlier stirred an uncontrollable discomfort in Xia Yangyang’s heart.
Seeing that Xia Yangyang hadn’t budged, Gu Qichen’s tone grew colder: “Xia Yangyang, are you going to continue being stubborn?”
Xia Yangyang suddenly stood up and ran out.
Gu Qichen followed and grabbed her arm at the exit of the police station, “What’s gotten into you today?”
Xia Yangyang desperately wanted to cry, but she held it back.
She didn’t want Gu Qichen to see her in such a state, it would be too shameful.
Gu Qichen asked, “Xia Yangyang, don’t you trust me?”
His question stopped Xia Yangyang in her tracks.
Trust what? Trust that there’s nothing going on between him and Shen Manbing?
It wasn’t that Xia Yangyang didn’t trust him, but that she didn’t trust herself.
Their marriage had only lasted a few months, it was hardly serious, and had started as a joke. What trust could there be in such a marriage?
In the end, Xia Yangyang asked, “What exactly is your relationship with Shen Manbing?”
It seemed as if Gu Qichen had been waiting for her to ask this question.
After a while, he finally responded: “We don’t have much of a relationship – we’re just slightly more familiar friends..”
