Chapter 119 Gu Yebei's Dating Rumor

He Xinyan also stood up from her chair and her smile disappeared, "You're right, I don't like you."

Li Yuyan knit her eyebrows together slightly.

"However, I don't bring any personal feelings into my job. I take my job and my role very seriously. A slap was necessary during that scene and the director approved of my idea. If you have a problem with it, you can go talk to the director."

He Xinyan sat back down onto her seat and crossed her legs together again. She picked up her chopsticks and began eating, although the room was dead silent.

Bai Jiawei sighed and also picked up his chopsticks, "Let's eat."

"But -"

"Li Yuyan, sit down. If you can't take the job, don't do it."

Tears rolled down Li Yuyan's cheeks as she slowly sat down. She looked up at Su Zhiming and saw that he didn't even seem to care. He had started eating too.

She pressed her lips and stood up abruptly, causing her chair to tip over onto the floor.

"I'm not going to eat." She ran out of the dining room and up the stairs into her room.

Bai Jiawei was unhappy with Li Yuyan's behavior and he looked at Li Huiran, "You better teach my son better than you taught her!"

Li Huiran gulped and slowly nodded her head.

He Xinyan watched them with a smile, "Dad's right! My future brother will definitely be a smart and handsome boy! I can't wait for him to be born! Auntie Li, how many more months is it again?"

Li Huiran frowned, "It's still far. There are still seven months."

He Xinyan smiled. It won't be long until Li Huiran would have to figure out a way to make her stomach appear big. Or else, it would be obvious she was lying.

"Dad, seven months is so long! I can't wait for the baby boy to come out!"

Li Huiran glared at He Xinyan suspiciously. What was she up to?

Bai Jiawei was very happy as he laughed heartily, "I'm glad that you are also excited! We have to take good care of Huiran so the baby boy will be healthy."

He Xinyan picked up her chopsticks and put some food onto Li Huiran's plate, "Yes. Eat more, Auntie Li."

Li Huiran was very nervous under He Xinyan's piercing stare, and there was this feeling inside her telling her that something was wrong. However, Li Huiran couldn't be sure.

The next day, He Xinyan went to film in the afternoon and she only had three scenes to film. When she arrived, she entered Gu Yebei's room and he gave her a cup of milk tea.

She had Gu Yebei wait outside so she could change into her concubine outfit. After coming out, they walked to the first filming place together.

From afar, someone that didn't belong to the filming group quickly closed his camera and ran off.

---

He Xinyan returned home from filming late into the night and she immediately fell asleep. A few minutes later, Gu Yechen arrived and he pulled He Xinyan into his embrace before going to sleep.

There wasn't filming the next morning, so He Xinyan didn't set an alarm. However, at 8 o'clock, she was woken by the vibrating of her phone.

She slowly rubbed her eyes and sat up on the bed with a frown. Which brainless person is calling her this early in the morning?

She grabbed her phone and looked at the name on the screen.

Wu Minger?

Gu Yechen also woke up now and he sat up slowly, wrapping both arms around He Xinyan.

He Xinyan picked up the call, "Minger, why are you calling me so early? I was going to sleep in."

"Yanyan, hurry up and check the news!"

"Why? What happened?"

"You will know. Just go look at it. Don't hang up!"

He Xinyan blinked her eyes a few times to wake up completely before going to the news website to check. At the very top, there was a bright red banner, signaling the hottest news of the day.

'Superstar Gu Yebei is Dating a Newbie Star'

He Xinyan clicked in with a frown. Since when did Wu Minger become a newbie star?

When the page loaded, He Xinyan saw the picture underneath the header. Her eyes widened in surprise.

It was a picture of her and Gu Yebei walking together, and from the camera angle, they looked like they were super close together.

She was laughing and Gu Yebei was looking down at her with a smile.

"This. . ."

Ignoring Gu Yechen's sour expression, she went back to the call with Wu Minger.

"Minger, I swear that news is fake! You are always with us at filming, so of course you know there is nothing between us. I know that picture! It was from yesterday, and we were just talking!"

Wu Minger rolled her eyes, "Of course I know there is nothing between you two? Do you think I'm stupid enough to trust some stupid news and not you? It's just the media trying to create some drama. The main focus here is what are you going to do? Yebei's fans are going crazy!"

He Xinyan sighed, "I don't know. I will think about it. . . Thank you for believing me, Minger."

Wu Minger smiled, "Ch! I'm not that sour. Plus, I'm not an unreasonable person. I know there is nothing between you too."

He Xinyan smiled, "Okay. Thank you for telling me. I'll figure something out about this."

She hung up the call and opened up the news article again. Half of the entire page was composed of the image because the netizens usually only needed a picture and a header to understand the whole story.

She scrolled down to the short paragraph written below and read it.

'During the Beautiful Things Past filming, male lead actor Gu Yebei, and a new actress He Xinyan are caught in a relationship. The two of them are seen close together often, and several actors on set have also stated that the two of them are in a romantic relationship.

He Xinyan is new to the entertainment industry, but she also has another role. She is the young miss of the He family, and her father is the current chairman of the He Corporation. Do you think the two of them are a good match?'

He Xinyan's expression worsened as she reached the end of the short article. Several actors on set had admitted to their relationship?! Who?!

Almost everyone on set knew about Gu Yebei's relationship with Wu Minger, but no one dared to say anything about it, because everyone knew that Gu Yebei was part of the Gu family. No one wanted to offend the Gu family.

Very few news companies had the gut to post any gossip about Gu Yebei. This was probably the first dating rumor about Gu Yebei that ever came out since he debuted in the entertainment industry.

He Xinyan furrowed her eyebrows together as she looked at the name of the company. This news company was very famous, but they definitely wouldn't dare offend the Gu Corporation.

So, that would mean there was someone backing them. There was someone powerful that was backing this news company. Who was it?

He Xinyan was so deep in her thoughts she forgot about the vinegar tub next to her. She only snapped back from her stupor when her phone was snatched out of her hand.

She turned to look at Gu Yechen and blinked a few times when she saw his sour and slightly angry expression.

Her expression immediately softened as she leaned forward and rested her body onto the vinegar tub, "Yechen. . . You know that there is nothing between me and Gu Yebei. We just coincidentally met up and walked to the meeting location together."

"Really?" Gu Yechen asked, raising one eyebrow.

"Of course! I already have the better brother, so why would I want the other one? Plus, you are more handsome than Gu Yebei. More smart, more powerful, more tall, more sweet, and more considerate!" He Xinyan decided to sacrifice Gu Yebei since she was currently in a very bad situation. She could just buy him some food later to pay him back.

Gu Yechen's expression got a little better after hearing her, and he looked away.

"Fine."

He Xinyan smiled and landed a kiss on his cheek, "Love you!'

Gu Yechen's face brightened and he tried to hide his smile as he said, "Gu Yebei's allowance is going to decrease."

He Xinyan used her hand to put up an "okay" sign, "No problem! He deserves it!"

Gu Yebei's Feeling Right Now: Why?! What did I do wrong?! Why are they doing this to me?! He Xinyan, you betrayer!!

He Xinyan cleared her throat and looked up at Gu Yechen, "I might need your help right now."

Gu Yechen grabbed his phone and dialed a phone number, "I want to see the news about Gu Yebei gone from all news platforms in thirty minutes."

Without waiting for a response, he hung up.

He Xinyan smiled, "Thank you!"
