“Of course not!” Vera replied as she stared at Jiang Yuning. “We are going out.”

“Wow, that’s amazing. Congratulations on your love line. However, I need to remind you that we are currently in T City and not Luo City. We are not familiar with the media and paparazzi here. Therefore, you should be more alert and make sure that you take care of yourself,” Jiang Yuning reminded Vera once again. “Remember not to get photographed by the paparazzi and most importantly, remember to protect yourself!”

Vera started blushing as soon as she heard Jiang Yuning asking her to protect herself. The thought of going out so late and spending the night with a man made Vera very shy in front of Jiang Yuning.

“Don’t worry. I am not an artiste or celebrity so I doubt anyone would be interested in stalking and taking pictures of me,” Vera replied before she went into the bedroom to change out of her pajamas. After putting on a dress, Vera applied some light makeup on her face before she headed out to meet Xiao Chennan.

Jiang Yuning sat down and removed her makeup before she took a bath. After that, she sat down and started reading a few pages of the original novel . It was not surprising that there were so many fans who were devoted to this novel, as it was an original classic with a very well-written plot. Jiang Yuning thought to herself and she was certain that she would definitely be scolded again if she got the role of the female lead in the drama.

This was because had previously sold their copyright to an online game developer and as a part of their advertisement, they already recruited a couple to endorse the game. All the fans who loved the book were very excited and pleased and they left tens of thousands of reviews to recommend that the original author cast the couple to take on the role of the female and male lead.

However, after going through the drama script once again, Jiang Yuning realized that she did not want to let go of this opportunity because she really liked the story and plot very much.

Jiang Yuning felt that she was coming down with a headache when she thought about the chaos that would ensue if she obtained the role of the female lead.

As for Vera, Jiang Yuning was a little worried because she had a bad premonition in her heart.

…

There was no hustle and bustle and it was very peaceful in T City at dawn.

Xiao Chennan had arranged for a candlelight dinner with Vera at a five-star hotel with a hot spring that was just outside the outskirts of T City. He had also prepared a new year gift for Vera.

Vera was very careful as she made her way to the hotel. Even though she was not worried because she did not think that she would attract the attention of any paparazzi, she did not want to cause any trouble for Xiao Chennan.

A short while later, both of them finally met up in the hotel restaurant. Xiao Chennan was dressed in formal attire and he looked like a very handsome English gentleman.

“I feel very sorry that I was unable to accompany you for New Year’s Eve last night. Therefore, I really want to make it up to you tonight.”

Vera took off her black trench coat before she placed it aside and sat down directly across Xiao Chennan at the dining table. She looked extremely dazzling in her red dress.

“You look so beautiful tonight. What should I do? I can’t wait to dance with you.” After that, Xiao Chennan did not sit down but instead, he walked in front of Vera before he held out his hand, inviting her to dance.

Vera thought about it for a moment before she held her hand out and accepted his invitation. At this time, the restaurant staff started playing the violin as background music for the couple.

Xiao Chennan placed his hand on Vera’s waist as both of them started dancing in the restaurant, accompanied by the romantic music in the background.

“Vera.”

“Yes?”

“You really look very beautiful tonight,” Xiao Chennan could not stop himself from whispering into her ear.

Vera started to feel numb all over and she could already feel her legs going weak.

“Don’t go back tonight, okay?”

Vera suddenly regained her senses and she hesitated for a moment because she felt uncomfortable at the sudden invitation.

Xiao Chennan seemed to see right through Vera because he could sense her panic immediately. He smiled before he assured her, “What are you thinking of now? I will not suggest anything inappropriate unless I know for certain that you are ready. I just want you to stay by my side tonight. I will be happy even if we spend the whole night dancing away.”

Vera relaxed a little after listening to Xiao Chennan’s explanation. After realizing that she had completely misunderstood his intentions, Vera placed her arms around Xiao Chennan’s neck before she said, “Sorry, I…”

“If you are really sorry, then you can make it up to me in this manner…” After that, Xiao Chennan leaned forward and started kissing Vera on her lips.

At this moment, in this beautiful restaurant with romantic music playing, both of them seemed to have forgotten everything else in the world.

They did not even realize that there was an auntie, who was a hotel staff in charge of cleaning the lawn, working just outside the restaurant. The auntie took the opportunity to secretly take pictures of the couple through the massive glass windows.

She did not expect the film emperor to be so horny and unable to control his urges even in a restaurant.

Of course, the auntie had no malice or ill intentions at all. She only took the pictures because she wanted to keep it for herself. She only began to wonder who Xiao Chennan’s female partner was after she took quite a number of pictures. Was she Jiang Yuning? However, the skin tone and figure of this female was completely differed from Jiang Yuning’s.

Who cared anyway? All of the male artistes in the entertainment industry were well-known for having five or six different girlfriends anyway.

Hehehe. So exciting!

…

Early the next morning, Vera returned to Jiang Yuning’s hotel room filled with the scent of wine.

When Jiang Yuning heard movement in her room, she woke up before turning on the lights. Jiang Yuning could not stop herself from smiling when she saw Vera’s swollen lips. “It must have been a very intense night for you, sister. Why didn’t you spend the night with him outside?”

“I can’t seem to do it,” Vera replied as she took off her long dress and stepped into the bathroom. “I know that he was trying very hard to control himself but I…I am just not sure.”

“You did the right thing,” Jiang Yuning replied as she patted Vera on her shoulder. “Okay, hurry up and wash up before going to bed. I have to get ready and leave to film my morning scenes soon.”

“Yuning, why do I feel this way?”

Jiang Yuning clasped her hands together and thought for a moment before she finally replied, “I guess you do not like him enough yet.”

Vera thought about what Jiang Yuning said before she nodded. “That’s probably it. I take a very long time to warm up to someone.”

“Don’t think too much about it,” Jiang Yuning comforted Vera before she rushed off to the dressing room at the filming set to put on her makeup.

At this time, Xiao Chennan was also in the dressing room and he looked a little exhausted.

“I have already asked Qing Yan to buy breakfast for Vera. Qing Yan will deliver it to Vera in a short while.”

“She will be returning to Luo City in a short while,” Jiang Yuning replied. After thinking about it, Jiang Yuning suddenly added to her sentence, “Brother Nan, you have to be patient with Vera and just give her a little time.”

“I know.”

Before leaving for Luo City, Vera dropped by the filming set to check on both Jiang Yuning and Xiao Chennan. When she saw that Xiao Chennan was already in a better mood, she was finally relieved.

However, the pictures that the hotel staff took of Xiao Chennan and Vera was posted on the Internet in the afternoon that day. At first, the cleaner was merely sharing the photos with some of her close friends. Her close friends had then shared the photos with their friends and partners. After going round and round, the photos finally fell into the hands of Xiao Chennan’s fans. The fan then shared the pictures in Xiao Chennan’s official fan group and this started the fire immediately.

After that, other topics such as #Xiao Chennan’s girlfriend#, #Xiao Chennan’s secret lover# and various other topics started trending on the Internet.

At this time, all of Xiao Chennan’s female fans went crazy immediately.

[My Brother Nan is in T City for filming purposes! Stop throwing yourself at him!]

[Please! I am certain that this is Photoshopped! I will not believe these pictures!]

[My Brother Nan cannot be dating!]

[Am I going to fall out of love already? No! This cannot be my Brother Nan!]

The entertainment bloggers quickly looked into the details of the hotel and found out that it was located on the outskirts of T City. Furthermore, Xiao Chennan was currently filming in T City. This was too much of a coincidence.

The physique of the man in the photographs and the accessories that he had on him matches Xiao Chennan completely and there was no way for anyone to deny that it was Xiao Chennan indeed.

More importantly, who was this woman with Xiao Chennan?

[Ahh! Who is this little b*tch? She is wearing a red dress to seduce my Brother Nan on purpose!]

[Is she Jiang Yuning? The skin tone doesn’t seem to match Jiang Yuning at all.]

[Please watch what you are saying. Our Short Jiang is only partners in filming the drama with Xiao Chennan. There is nothing going on between the both of them.]

[They look so passionate. No! I am dying inside.]

After a short debate, Xiao Chennan’s female fans finally decided to zoom in and enlarge the photos to find out the identity of the woman. After much effort, they finally discovered the identity of the woman pictured with Xiao Chennan because the cleaner had taken pictures from many different angles.

[Oh my god! Isn’t that Jiang Yuning’s exclusive agent, Vera?]

[Yes, that is definitely Jiang Yuning’s agent. Ahh! I am so furious and mad right now. Why would my Brother Nan be interested in such an ugly monster like her?]
