Sun Hu glanced at Xia Xin, then at Jing MO, and deliberately asked Xia Xin, “Do you like MO Shu?”

Xia Xin immediately replied, “Of course not! I don’t even know him well. We only worked together on a few scenes in the past, and we hardly exchanged a few words. If it weren’t for the coincidence of him running into me yesterday, he probably wouldn’t have asked for my help. We’re not even friends, so where does the liking come from?” 𝒷𝓮𝒹𝓃ℴ𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂

Sun Hu looked at Jing MO again, carefully observing all of his expressions, and said, “Alright, think about my suggestion for now. I’ll come back later to discuss it with you.”

Xia Xin obediently agreed, and then Sun Hu went upstairs to find Jing Mo.

Sun Hu closed the door behind him after he and Jing MO entered the study.

Jing Mo’s study featured a wall of bookshelves, a desk by the window, and a wooden rocking chair beside it. On the windowsill sat a lush pot of green ivy.

Jing MO sat down in the rocking chair, remaining silent.

Sun Hu approached, leaning on the desk, and asked, “Xia Xin’s situation is about pretending to be a couple. Why do you disagree?”

Jing MO remained silent.

Sun Hu was accustomed to Jing Mo’s habit of staying silent when he didn’t want to answer certain questions, so he didn’t expect a response to this particular query.

Sun Hu continued, “This is the only way to handle the situation now. Unless you want Xia Xin’s career to end before it even begins.”

Jing MO looked up, puzzled, and asked, “There are many ways to solve this kind of problem, and with your capabilities, you should be able to find a solution.

Why must it be pretending to be a couple?”

Sun Hu took out his phone, found the photos from his media friends, and showed them to Jing Mo. Sun Hu said, “Take a look for yourself. These are the photos of Xia Xin and MO Shu in a hotel room. With these pictures, if they don’t announce to the public that they are a couple, their connection will be questioned.”

Jing MO knew that for Xia Xin, this would ruin her career before it even started.

Sun Hu’s tone grew more serious. “Not only one media outlet has this picture. I can suppress one, but I can’t suppress dozens or hundreds. What I can do right now is to buy time, and find a way to respond before this photo goes public. You should understand this better than I do.”

Jing MO looked at the photos on the phone, his hand gripping the device so tightly that it seemed like he might crush it.

Sun Hu quickly pulled the phone away and said, “Don’t take your anger out on my phone.”

Jing Mo hung his head in silence..

Sun Hu continued, trying to provoke him, “Xia Xin is an adult and can make her own judgments. You don’t need to make decisions for her in everything.”

Jing MO still didn’t say a word.

Sun Hu didn’t press further and waited quietly.

In the late summer season, even the cicadas had fallen silent, leaving only the echoes in the quiet room.

Finally, Jing MO spoke, “Xia Xin is important to me. She’s the first person who made me feel warmth. She protected me back then, and now it’s my turn to protect her.”

Sun Hu, looking at the reserved individual, remarked, “You finally decided to speak the truth? I’ve told you before, don’t just keep things to yourself. If you have thoughts, just tell her directly. But now, things can only be handled this way. MO Shu is one of the rare good men in the entertainment industry, and he has many admirers. We can only hope that Xia Xin won’t develop feelings for him.”

After their conversation, they both left the study together. Sun Hu handed a script to Xia Xin and said, “There’s no need to make this situation public. Let’s handle it discreetly. Occasionally, post something together with MO Shu to make the fans think you have a secret relationship. This script is one we’ve chosen together; it’s a low-budget web series with only 12 episodes, and the shooting period is very short. Finish filming this series first, air it, and then gradually distance yourselves. Eventually, you can announce a breakup, and that should clear your name.”

Xia Xin scrolled through the script’s synopsis. The title of the drama was “Love’s Unleashed,” and it told the story of a girl who found a homeless boy one night and took him home. Over time, she began treating him like a pet, and their hidden feelings for each other grew.

Sun Hu said, “You’ve lucked out in a way. You’ve got the lead role in your debut drama, and you have Mo Shu as your co-star. I’m not sure if it’s good or bad luck for you. Stay at home these next few days, and I’ll bring you to the set in three days…”
