The Long-awaited Mr Han

This was the reason why Chen Jinglin hesitated.

While he was still hesitating, Chen Jinglin received a phone call from Lu Xiuse.

"Director Chen, " Lu Xiuse said. "You… saw the post online, right?"

"I saw it. What are you going to do?" Chen Jinglin's voice sounded deeper when he spoke. "I am telling you, this matter has seriously caused a severe impact on the profit of our film. I cannot allow you to ruin my movie.

"Lu Xiuse, I don't care if you want to cause trouble, but can you not create issues while this movie is still being filmed? We haven't finished making this movie, but you keep causing trouble. You are going to ruin the movie even before its release. Because of you, I am having a hard time explaining things to the investors.

"You ruined my movie, making it impossible for me to explain to the investors. I have no choice but to show you my anger! I, Chen Jinglin, might not be one of the best directors, but I am not a spineless guy who can just be bullied!"

Lu Xiuse hastily said, "Director, I know you are angry. Give me a chance. I will de-escalate this issue. Give me some time. This issue definitely won't affect our movie.

She hurriedly added, "You… don't replace me. I will de-escalate this issue within the shortest time possible."

"Alright. I will give you three days," Chen Jinglin said coldly. "The investors called me earlier and asked me about it. I can only delay this for three days. If you can't solve this issue within three days, I will have no choice but to replace you."

"Alright. Sure," Lu Xiuse said hastily.

When Lu Xiuse hung up the phone, her expression appeared anxious.

She had answered confidently even though she was not confident at all.

How could she solve this issue within three days?

Not to mention that she would have no chance at all if Yan Beicheng made a move against her!

Mrs. Yu was such a bird brain. She couldn't even complete this small task and even betrayed her.

The scene changed back to Yan Zhiqing. At this moment, they had resolved the issue.

They were just waiting for the next series of events.

Therefore, Shi Xiaoya and Han Zhuoling left first.

Wei Wucai never said that he would leave with them. He pretended to be stupid and stayed in the room.

Yan Zhiqing and Wei Wucai were the only two left in the room.

Yan Zhiqing felt extremely uncomfortable.

But she still had things to tell Wei Wucai.

Before she could tell Wei Wucai about it, however, he had already stayed of his own accord.

This made Yan Zhiqing feel uncomfortable.

She couldn't even say the things she wanted to say.

She walked Shi Xiaoya and Han Zhuoling to the door and came back after closing it.

She stared at Wei Wucai with an expression showing her awkwardness and hesitation to speak.

"What's going on? I stayed because I thought you had something to say," Wei Wucai said.

He wasn't shamelessly trying to spend time with Yan Zhiqing alone.

Wei Wucai's explanation was very proper, so Yan Zhiqing believed him.

"It's just…" Yan Zhiqing pursed her lips and started biting them. She seemed to be struggling.

After a while, she finally spoke. "This is all thanks to your help. If not for you, I would not have been able to disprove the defamation so easily."

"You just wanted to talk about this?" Wei Wucai smiled and said, "It's no big deal. No need to be courteous."

"But… by giving a public explanation, you basically caused people to misunderstand our relationship."

Wei Wucai didn't answer. He only raised his brow.

It was as though he was asking her to define this relationship.

Yan Zhiqing had no choice but to say, "They might really think that we are lovers."

"Sorry," Wei Wucai said.

Yan Zhiqing was slightly surprised. She looked at Wei Wucai and heard him say, "I just wanted to help you. I wanted people to not doubt you. I didn't think this through. I forgot how this might affect you.

"It's fine if it was just me. But you are a single woman. You are now being mistaken as someone with a boyfriend. If you really met someone you like in the future but missed out on that fated relationship because of this…"

Wei Wucai paused for a moment. He then continued, "But it is unknown as to whether this fated relationship will be good or bad. It might be a happy match or it could be an unfortunate one."

Yan Zhiqing felt speechless.

Initially, when she heard the first half of the sentence, she felt remorseful.

It was kind of him to help her. But now, she was complaining about the good thing he did for her.

But when she heard the latter half of the sentence, Yan Zhiqing immediately froze.

Why did it sound like a curse?

How could he call it unfortunate?

Why couldn't he wish something better for her?

"You had no choice. Considering the situation tonight, if you hadn't provided that type of explanation, I wouldn't have been able to get out of this situation this quickly and without getting any filth on me," Yan Zhiqing said.

"However, you would be misunderstood as well. I know you have always kept a low profile. But because of me, you might get stalked by reporters. You will get a lot of attention. I caused you so much trouble." Yan Zhiqing said.

"It's fine for me," Wei Wucai said. "Is my announcement affecting you right now?"

Wei Wucai looked at her and said, "I know you are single, but if you don't want people to misunderstand that we are together, I will find a suitable time in the future and release another explanation."

"Wouldn't I seem too headstrong? If you have to be the one to do the explanation… and if you have to go back on your words, saying that we are together now but saying that we are not together later… By doing so, it would be inconsistent. It's like we are treating the netizens as jokes and are using this topic to boost our popularity."

She added, "A lot of people will scold you if you do that."

"I can't let you be misunderstood, right?" Wei Wucai said. "I don't mind at all. I don't care if people think I am not single."

"Then…" Yan Zhiqing's ears shuddered. Her face reddened. She didn't dare to look at Wei Wucai.

She lowered her head and said, "I don't have a boyfriend right now. Therefore, this doesn't affect me. If we released another explanation right now, it would instead affect both of us negatively."

She went on, "Therefore, even if we want to explain, we will have to wait. When that time comes, we won't need to explain. We can just say we broke up."

She suddenly stopped while she was talking halfway.

She didn't know what she said wrong to cause a frown to appear on Wei Wucai's face.

Yan Zhiqing was so nervous that she held her breath as she waited for Wei Wucai''s response.

She had no idea that the words "broke up" had triggered Wei Wucai.

Unexpectedly, these two words felt like a prick that was neither gentle nor harsh in his heart.

Wei Wucai almost couldn't control himself. He wanted to ask her if she really wanted to break up with him.

Wei Wucai looked down and became silent for a moment. He then slowly opened his mouth. "If you don't mind, then we don't have to worry about this. If you meet someone you like in the future, just let me know and I will release a public announcement that we have broken up."
