“Miss Lu, can you explain your relationship with Bai Mu Ye?”
“Miss Lu, The Qin Empire has been boycotted by fans. As major investor, do you consider to change a male lead?”
The questions above are easier to answer compared to more sharp-worded ones like:
“Miss Lu, each month you have a new lover. Is a few months’ joy really worth several hundred million?”
“Is Bai Mu Ye such a talented lover that you are willing to spend a fortune on him?”
“Miss Lu...”
Ah Zhao remains calm.
She doesn’t answer any of those questions but makes a gesture.
At that, her all-powerful assistant Xiao Guan appears out of nowhere and passes her a brand-new microphone.
Holding the microphone, she opens her mouth: “I know you guys have a lot of questions but I’m in a bit of a hurry and don’t have time to respond one by one. Now, let me answer all your questions in a short statement. First, about investment. Lu Corporation has always been generous with films with high potential. I think The Qin Empire is worth it. As for a hundred million versus ten hundred million...”
With a slight smile, she continues: “It doesn't make much of a difference to me.”
Reporters: “...” Ostentatious!
Calmly showing off her wealth, Ah Zhao speaks again: “Second, about fans’ reaction. The success of a film depends on its quality, which is the responsibility of the director and producer. I trust Director Zheng and I believe he will give us a good film. Let’s give it time. Third, about my relationship with Mu Ye...”
Everything around her turns quiet. All reporters are waiting for an answer, a scope.
Deliberately, Ah Zhao pauses for a moment to build up suspense before she grins and says: “I want to make it clear that he isn't my lover. It isn’t a monetary relationship.”
Reporters who are waiting for a scope explode:
“What do you mean by that, Miss Lu? You guys have been filmed having dinner together. What do you say about that?”
“Miss Lu, I’ve heard that you added a hundred million investment in order for Bai Mu Ye to join the cast of The Qin Empire. If there's nothing between you guys, why did you do that?”
“Miss Lu, have you broken up with Bai Mu Ye?”
“...”
Bai Mu Ye's brows draw in a tight line at this part of the video.
Gulping down half a bottle of water, he can feel his heart starts to beat faster.
The video keeps playing. Judging from its title, he thinks he know what Ah Zhao is going to say.
As expected, the next moment, the grin on her face turns sweeter.
It almost seems a bit childish.
The video is again quiet because of how beautiful she is at the moment.
“Bai Mu Ye is not my lover. He is my boyfriend. It isn't a one-month relationship, nor several-month. We are in a serious relationship and want to get married. Mu Ye will stay with me for the rest of my life...”
She blinks at the camera and finishes her sentence: “He is my soul mate.”
The screen turns black as the video ends suddenly.
Bai Mu Ye clicks and watches it again.
With his heart pounding so fast, he opens his mouth in order to breathe better. Finally, he can't help himself and starts laughing.
