Sweet Wife So Charming: CEO: Hold Back Your Heart-Chapter 387: Trending on the Hot Search
"Oh, come on, they’re probably already dating. You don’t need to worry about it."
"Exactly, exactly."
"Tsk, it hasn’t been announced yet. Besides, have you heard Professor Webb say he likes Moira Young? You’re just gossiping."
A group of people were leaning in and gossiping quietly.
"You must be a brainless fan of Professor Webb."
"How’s that any of your business?"
"Hey, why don’t we just ask him now?"
They looked at each other, and everyone at that table heard the suggestion. Having had some drinks and feeling rowdy, they got excited.
"Ask him, ask him."
Pushing each other around, no one dared to face Aiden Webb directly.
"Hey, what are you guys up to?" A deputy director at Aiden’s table, who loved the excitement, asked curiously, seeing the commotion below.
A small assistant leaned over and whispered in his ear.
The deputy director burst out laughing: "What’s so difficult about that? You’re all such cowards."
Seeing that there was finally someone ready to take the plunge, all eagerly turned to Aiden Webb, eyes gleaming with excitement over the potential big gossip.
The deputy cleared his throat and called over to Aiden, who was talking to Marcus Mercer: "Aiden Webb, are you smitten with my goddess Moira Young?"
"Oh~" The crowd burst into laughter, not only eager for Aiden’s scoop but now also feeding on the deputy’s confession.
"So the deputy’s goddess isn’t his wife, it’s Moira Young, haha."
"Right, right, won’t you be afraid of your wife making you kneel on a washboard when you get home, deputy?"
The deputy blushed and said to the laughing crowd: "You guys, scoot, don’t drag me into this. The main person hasn’t spoken yet, right?"
"Right." This time the entire room answered in unison and all turned to look at Aiden Webb, with some even inching closer, sitting on others’ chairs.
Aiden felt a bit helpless, his eyes as cold as ever, but they softened at the thought of Moira Young. Glancing at Marcus, who was sitting there unconcerned, he shook his head: "Let me toast to you all."
No matter how unwilling the crowd was, demanding the truth, Aiden drank his cup of wine straight down.
"Moira is a very outstanding girl."
The crowd didn’t give up: "Professor Webb, if you’re going to praise her, do it when our leading lady arrives."
"Exactly, exactly."
In the midst of the commotion, the door behind them opened, and Joe walked in with Moira Young.
"Sorry, everyone, we overslept." Saying this, the two were about to sneak to their seats.
The crowd laughed again, unwilling to let her off so easily: "Just like we were saying, here comes Moira right on cue. You don’t know, but Professor Webb was just praising you."
Moira looked over on hearing this: "Oh, what did he say about me?"
She lowered her eyes and blinked at Aiden.
"He said you’re outstanding, an outstanding girl."
Moira reacted quickly, laughed aloud: "Senior is a super outstanding boy, no, a man."
"Hahahaha." The crowd laughed, patting each other’s shoulders and backs.
Aiden looked at Moira indulgently, thinking that she’s likely the only one who dared to joke with him like that.
What could he do? She’s his little sister; how could he not spoil her?
With that, the topic passed, and everyone resumed drinking and eating, though they kept sneaking glances at Aiden and Moira.
The two of them didn’t seem to notice anything. As actors, they were used to being the center of attention.
Marcus gave everyone a day off to play in Vesperia, and the group went wild.
Back home, the major websites were also unwilling to be outdone, acting as if on a frenzy, with photo after photo and reports about Aiden Webb and Moira Young.
It was indeed a bit helpless; the two never thought of wearing hats or disguising themselves, especially abroad with no worries; they nearly toured all of Vesperia’s attractions in a day.
This naturally made it easy for paparazzi to follow them without restraint.
"Oh my god, Moira, you’re trending, and not just once!"
That evening, after a great day, Joe was lying in bed browsing on his phone after a shower. Seeing the trending news on Weibo, he sat up abruptly in shock.
Knocking on the bathroom door: "Ahhh, Moira, what do we do? The internet is buzzing with rumors about you and Professor Webb dating, and everyone says it’s confirmed."
Wrapped in a bathrobe, Moira opened the door and snatched Joe’s phone: "No way, how did these people take these photos? Where are the two of you?"
"Who knows why. Why didn’t they take me and Professor Webb’s assistant in the photos? Don’t we look good in pictures too?"
Looking speechlessly at the woman who lay back on the bed, Moira looked at herself on the trending page with a complicated feeling. She always thought she would trend for her work, not for a romance rumor dragging Aiden Webb into it. She sighed and collapsed on the bed.
"Joe, did Lee call?"
"He did. I think he’s just hiding under a blanket, happy. Hoping the trending topic keeps rising."
"Ugh." Moira turned her head, burying her face in the quilt, "What do I do? Did I ruin Senior’s sterling reputation?"
Joe sighed deeply: "My aloof Professor Webb."
"I need to call Aiden and explain."
"No need, Professor Webb already messaged you."
"Where?" With that, Moira leaped to get her phone from the bedside.
She saw the message from Aiden, telling her not to worry and saying he would steer the trending direction towards her acting skills, making the most of this wave of traffic.
Moira hugged the phone, smiling wide, and landed on Joe’s lap: "My brother is just so wonderful."
"Ah, my leg." Joe hollered and then got up, "When did Professor Webb become your brother? I want him too, I want him too."
"Haha, dream on. He’s my brother alone." With that, she turned her back to Joe, blissfully getting up to dry her hair.
Joe’s lips twitched downwards. She felt like her top-fan status was threatened after this trip to Vesperia.
Looking at the comments under the trending topic, she felt both melancholic and excited.
"Wow, I didn’t expect this girl to be so dedicated to her acting."
"Our beloved Moira has finally been noticed, waaah."
"Where did this fairy sister come from? So beautiful."
"Hey, the one above, bring me along to admire the pictures."
"+1"
"Does this girl act so fiercely, hardly needing retakes? [Behind-the-scenes clip of some drama]"
"Oh my gosh, from today onwards, she’s my idol. Don’t any of you try to take her away from me."
On Weibo, the trending topic continued to soar, with pictures and clips of Moira Young’s acting being massively shared.
"Wow, just as expected, the woman Professor Webb has his eyes on is nothing ordinary."
"Hey, haters below, please shut your foul mouths and have some decency."
