Chapter 156
The news of Shen Huai and Ye Cang's relationship almost crashed Weibo.
[Holy crap! Ye Cang is gay?!]
[A fairytale romance!!!]
I suspected something was off between them from the start. A financial tycoon working as a lowly broker—who would believe it wasn't for love?
According to what the guy at the top said, then Shen Huai's true love should be Xu Anqi...
[Every time I was picking candy, I would cry and say I'd gotten the real thing! I never imagined that one day I would actually get the real thing!!]
[Homosexuals get out!! Disgusting!]
[I don't believe it!! I won't believe it until my crush admits it! Waaaaah!]
These days, handsome guys really are handsome guys, sigh...
[Without any background information, just a blurry photo, and the paparazzi made up a whole story. Do people even have brains to believe that?!]
【You're the one who's brainless! Isn't it clear enough?! If they weren't lovers, but their relationship was so close that they were holding hands?? That's even scarier!】
The online debate raged on, and the CP fans were overjoyed, as if they had won a five million dollar lottery.
Cherry excitedly pulled out all her stock, but looking at the comments online, she was a little worried. She did have Ye Cang and Shen Huai's WeChat, but she believed in the rule of keeping her CP fandom to herself and rarely bothered the two of them. So, looking at the two names on WeChat, she hesitated.
Just then, her QQ suddenly started ringing like crazy. This was the QQ account she used in real life, and most of the messages were from fans of the same couple as her. Now everyone was sending her messages like crazy, wondering if something had happened between Shen Huai and Ye Cang.
Cherry's heart sank. She quickly opened the chat window and discovered that something had indeed happened, and it was a big one!
Shen Huai and Ye Cang actually admitted to the matter on Weibo, publicly stating that they are currently dating.
@沈淮V: Please continue to guide me in both work and life. @叶沧
@YeCangV: The eternal protagonist in my love songs. @ShenHuai
Cherry was stunned. As someone who worked in television, she knew very well that in this situation, the best course of action was for the two to remain silent and for the company to cover it up. After all, even if everyone tacitly agreed, as long as the parties involved didn't admit it, there would always be room for maneuver. But if the two did respond, no matter what they said, they would face even greater criticism.
Shen Huai should have known better than her that such a rational and composed person like him had done something so impulsive.
Cherry typed a line of text in the dialog box with a "whoosh whoosh" sound.
—I believe in love again!
-
While there are CP fans like Cherry who enthusiastically support the pairing, homosexuality remains a less accepted issue for society as a whole.
Shortly after the two posted on Weibo, Morningstar's stock price, which had been soaring, suddenly fell back. Some brands that originally wanted to cooperate with Ye Cang also backed out. In addition, all sorts of smear rumors were thrown at the two of them.
Fortunately, Shen Huai had made preparations in advance. Although the internet was still noisy, it did not have too much impact on Morningstar Company.
Chu Meibo and the others found out about this, so they all called and texted the two of them.
Shen Huai had just hung up on Chu Meibo when he saw the familiar name in the WeChat voice message. He felt a little helpless, but he still answered the call.
Chen Chiyu was still in shock and hadn't recovered yet: "Boss, you just admit it like that?"
Shen Huai hummed in agreement, and even joked with him: "Sorry, I'm leaving you alone in your room again tonight."
Hearing his relaxed tone, Chen Chiyu breathed a sigh of relief and replied irritably, "Anyway, this isn't the first time. I'm used to it..."
After venting his frustrations, he couldn't help but say, "You're too audacious. You just announced it like that. I feel like I've only been busy for a few days, and now everything has changed."
Shen Huai said calmly, "This was bound to happen sooner or later; it's just a matter of time."
"You're quite open-minded," Chen Chiyu said in a low voice. "Is...it really settled?"
Shen Huai did not hesitate and replied earnestly, "Yes."
"Sigh..." Chen Chiyu didn't know what to say. "Alright, then I can only wish you the best. Let's have a meal together sometime."
Shen Huai laughed: "Of course, we'll treat everyone together after this storm passes."
Chen Chiyu: "...Hey, hey, hey, don't keep feeding me dog food just because my wife isn't around..."
Shen Huai's smile caught Ye Cang's eye, causing him to unconsciously smile as well.
On the other end of the video call, Li Zihang said speechlessly, "Friend, it's just about finding a partner, can you stop smiling so smugly? It's giving me the creeps."
Ye Cang rolled his eyes at him: "Just say you're envious, jealous, or hateful. I'm not going to laugh at you for not being able to find a partner."
Li Zihang: "..."
Li Zihang felt that sending a video to check on Ye Cang was just asking for trouble. With Ye Cang's thick skin and his ridiculously optimistic attitude, no matter how many people slander him online, he probably wouldn't even get a glance from him. There was no need to worry about him at all.
Looking at Ye Cang's smug face, Li Zihang couldn't help but ask, "Tell me the truth, friend, did you send that paparazzi there yourself?"
Ye Cang: "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here."
Li Zihang couldn't help but complain: "Go look at yourself in the mirror. You weren't this smug when you won the Columbine Award."
Ye Cang touched his cheek and found his upturned lips. He couldn't tell Li Zihang that after his resurrection, the Cologne Award was to be expected, and he would be happy but not to the point of losing his composure. But Shen Huai was an unexpected joy, a unique gift from heaven.
He didn't need to speak; his suddenly softened gaze had already given Li Zihang the answer.
Li Zihang was happy for him, but deliberately said, "Hey, did you have some thoughts about your manager during the competition? That's why you're always hanging out with him and won't even go out to eat with me."
