Caught in Affairs with Superstar
Chapter 77: The Beginning of the Scandal

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: The Beginning of the Scandal

Song Chi finished filming and got on the nanny van, suddenly hearing Luo Yuhu, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, snorting disdainfully.

Luo Yuhu was his agent and the person arranged by Luo Zhiqiu to keep a close watch on him.

Song Chi had always maintained a distant relationship with Luo Yuhu, rarely liking to interact with him.

But Luo Yuhu seemed oblivious to his coldness, constantly babbling in his ear.

Sure enough, without Song Chi asking, Luo Yuhu took the initiative to explain why he sneered just now.

"Zhou Yun has really seized the opportunity to pop up now, look at her trending search purchase. It’s so ridiculous, how beautiful can one’s bare face be? Who knows where she got it done!"

The sharp sarcasm from Luo Yuhu caught Song Chi’s attention.

"What trending search?"

Song Chi asked, but he didn’t expect Luo Yuhu to provide an objective opinion. He took out his phone and independently checked the trending topics.

Zhou Yun’s twelve-second video played once before Song Chi’s eyes.

He was stunned, his heartbeat skipping a beat.

Honestly, he had seen all types of beauties in the entertainment industry, many of whom had shown him favor, some even throwing themselves at him.

Zhou Yun’s smile might not stand out as the most stunning, and of course, the image wasn’t about competing through allure.

But sometimes, the impact on your soul is just a matter of fate.

Sitting in the van, Song Chi knew very clearly that his heart had fluttered again.

It wasn’t strange, nor was it unimaginable, and certainly not sudden.

Song Chi had liked Zhou Yun before, otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many previous incidents.

He wasn’t a philanthropist, repeatedly helping Zhou Yun just to boost her visibility.

But those instances didn’t impact him as much as this moment did.

Feeling a tingling at the root of his tongue, Song Chi also realized his own shallow nature, simply put, he was also someone swayed by looks.

Other beautiful women just hadn’t touched that certain spot in him.

Luo Yuhu was still incessantly expressing his annoyance and sarcasm towards Zhou Yun and her team, but Song Chi wasn’t listening at all.

Song Chi found Zhou Yun’s chat box in WeChat, typing, entering, deleting...

His fingertips were slightly numb, actually feeling a bit nervous, like a shy young boy.

Song Chi couldn’t help but laugh, laughing at his overreaction, and at this unexpected person who unexpectedly stirred his heart with an unexpected trending search.

He might as well marvel at it.

Damn this arrow from Cupid!

Song Chi hesitated a long while before he edited and sent a seemingly normal message to Zhou Yun: Just finished work and saw that you are trending again; didn’t expect you to look quite pretty without makeup.

This somewhat disdainful tone was just his usual way of speaking.

Song Chi was self-aware.

But after the message was sent, Zhou Yun didn’t reply for a long while.

??

Song Chi checked the time, so early in the evening, could she be asleep?

That seemed unlikely.

What artist sleeps this early?

"Song Chi, did you hear what I said?"

Ahead, Luo Yuhu’s dissatisfied voice pulled Song Chi back to reality.

"Huh?" Song Chi raised his head, looking blankly at Luo Yuhu, not hearing what Luo Yuhu had just said.

Luo Yuhu sighed and said, "I was saying, we have a lunch planned with President Liang from Yuehai Network tomorrow, don’t forget."

Liang Zhongjie was responsible for the "Heart Inquiry" project at Yuehai Network.

His relationship with Luo Zhiqiu was very good, so this major project specifically named Liang Zhongjie to take charge, co-producing it with Luo Zhiqiu.

Of course, they were not the executive producers.

Related to "Heart Inquiry", Song Chi naturally nodded.

"You don’t know how many people in the industry are eyeing this piece of cake. I receive dozens of calls every day from people who want to play a role in this drama. Even Lew Qingqing called me, asking if there was a role for her, she would consider even a third female lead."

Song Chi said, "Just reject her directly."

"Directly reject her? Not considering her at all? Her popularity is pretty high right now."

"Her popularity is high but not higher than mine."

Luo Yuhu turned up the corner of his mouth, not objecting.

As for having Su Yan as the female lead, Song Chi had already compromised. But he was unwilling to make further compromises on other major roles.

Everyone wanted to get involved in this guaranteed blockbuster, but Song Chi had made his stance clear from the start.

This drama was his.

Others need not fantasize about intervening.

If it wasn’t for Yuehai Network’s support behind Su Yan, and the financial backers behind her convincing Luo Zhiqiu, Su Yan wouldn’t even be on Song Chi’s backup list.

But even though Song Chi was a top star, he couldn’t have everything his way.

He needed to compromise on some things to get other things he wanted.

Like, the director.

Luo Yuhu had yet to mention the outcome of his meal with Director Kang, and Song Chi hadn’t really placed his hopes on Luo Yuhu either.

He knew that Luo Zhiqiu and Luo Yuhu were still more inclined towards Liang Hengjun.

Before persuading Director Kang, Song Chi couldn’t let Luo Zhiqiu and Luo Yuhu perceive his moves and ruin his plans.

He needed a smokescreen.

Song Chi picked up his phone again, and immediately frowned as he looked at it.

Zhou Yun still hadn’t replied to his message!

Could she really be asleep?

Actually, Zhou Yun wasn’t asleep. She was watching a movie with Zhou Lan.

Her phone was on silent, and she hadn’t noticed that on the other end, someone was already getting irritable because she hadn’t replied in a while.

Zhou Yun used to often watch movies and analyze the themes and the acting with Zhou Lan.

There had been a rift between them for a while, which had paused this tradition.

Tonight, the two of them revived this tradition.

After watching a movie.

Zhou Yun and Zhou Lan looked at each other and smiled simultaneously.

"So boring."

"So tedious."

The two said in unison.

Their simultaneous utterance led them to look at each other and laugh again.

"Such a typical girly movie: meet, fall in love, misunderstandings arise, then the misunderstandings are cleared, and they reconcile." Zhou Yun sighed, "Sure enough, I shouldn’t have had any expectations for this movie."

"But it did well at the box office. Sometimes, clichés mean it’s accessible, easy for most people to empathize with," Zhou Lan argued rationally.

"Real love isn’t like that at all. " Zhou Yun said, "Would anyone who has truly loved believe in a story from a movie?"

Zhou Lan asked, "Xiao Yun, have you ever been in love before?"

"No."

"Then you still talk like an expert." Zhou Lan rolled his eyes.

Zhou Yun snorted, "How many primary school kids have listened to the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai and cried their hearts out? Love isn’t something that needs to be experienced to be appreciated."

"But you’re an actor, you’ll eventually have to act in romance dramas."

"I..." Zhou Yun suddenly realized something, turning her head to look at Zhou Lan, "What exactly are you hinting at?"

"I think Song Chi has that kind of intention towards you."
