Judging from Little Five’s tone, Xiao Man sensed that she was somewhat afraid to speak.

What could possibly make her not dare to tell her in person...

Xiao Man opened her eyes; the haze cleared, and her gaze gradually sharpened. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

She seemed to have understood something.

"Understood," Xiao Man flicked her hair, her tone nonchalant, "do whatever needs to be done, don’t worry about me, I have a plan."

"Sister Man—"

Little Five still had something to say, but Xiao Man didn’t want to listen further, "That’s all, no need to look for me, I’ll be at the show on time this afternoon."

After ending the call, Xiao Man got out of bed, walked to the balcony, and felt the fresh breeze early in the morning.

Three days ago, an unsigned message from a strange number: Three days to think it over, or else...

It was Luo Xuan.

She didn’t even need to guess; it was him.

When she received this message, Li Sinian was still asleep beside her, but she just read it once and ignored it.

Not because she didn’t believe it.

Xiao Man knew Luo Xuan wasn’t joking; if he said it, he would do it. She was certain that he would do something after three days.

She ignored it because she was not afraid.

Everything he did was just to make her change her mind.

Xiao Man opened Weibo for the final confirmation.

Sure enough, she was the top story, just as she had guessed.

Just then, Qianxun also made a call.

"Hello, good morning my little beauty."

Hearing the still cheerful laughter on the other end, Qianxun was taken aback, thinking she might not know yet, but judging by the sound, she seemed to have woken up already—how could she possibly not know with something that big happened?

"Sister Man..." Qianxun didn’t know where to begin, "Something bad has happened, have you seen Weibo?"

"I have."

"You have?" Qianxun was startled, "Then..."

"Yes, I already know," Xiao Man nodded indifferently, "Is our little Qianxun worried about me, and that’s why you called?"

"How could I not be worried..."

In truth, she was still in her dreams.

Gu Liancheng had gotten up earlier than her and saw the news, so he woke her up, knowing she would care about Xiao Man’s affair.

But Xiao Man’s reaction was far beyond her expectations.

Xiao Man was now just like her former self; Fei’er always informed her immediately, yet seeing the headlines about Gu Liancheng’s scandals, she could still laugh and pass judgment on his rumored girlfriends.

However, Qianxun thought, their situation was not the same as Xiao Man’s, and she was a bit worried.

Xiao Man kissed the phone mic, "Don’t worry Little Qianxun, I’ve been in this entertainment industry for so many years, I’ve seen all sorts of storms, this won’t be enough to bring me down."

"But..."

Li Sinian’s villa had mountains and forests around it, the scenery outside was extremely beautiful.

A gentle breeze blew Xiao Man’s hair, and she smiled, "Unless... Qianxun despises me as well, thinking I’m dirty."

"No!" Qianxun didn’t dare to hesitate even a second longer, for fear she’d overthink, "No, Sister Man, I absolutely don’t mean that, I’m just worried about you."

"I’m just teasing you, of course I know my little beauty would never despise me, and even if you did, it’d be no use, I’m sticking to you."

"..."

Is this really a time to joke around?

"Sister Man, it might be best not to look at Weibo right now, the internet is filled with cyber violence."

"Okay."

Qianxun hung up the phone and went to look for Gu Liancheng in the study; he was on a call, and he turned and made a silent gesture to her.
