Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son
Chapter 588 - 584

Chapter 588: 584

The long-awaited personal response from fans and netizens came swiftly as Xiao Yi posted an update on his own account after seeing it;

[Yes, we are dating. @Bai Lingshan]

Feige saw it and hurried to Xiao Yi’s room, "Have you lost your mind? To go public like this?"

After drinking a glass of water, Xiao Yi replied indifferently, "Hmm, the photos are already taken, is there any need to hide it?"

"Do you know how many fans you will lose by going public like this!"

"So what, should I continue to deceive my fans by not going public and date secretly instead?"

"..."

As Feige scrolled through the comments, he found, to his pleasant surprise, that the fans seemed quite rational, almost eliminating the need for his intervention.

[Looks like it’s real this time!]

[Brother has finally found love, it hasn’t been easy for him, blessings!]

[As long as it’s no more rumors with Ye Zhenzhen, blessings brother!]

[As a face-fan of Best Actor Xiao, I am sad that he is in love, but he is a talented actor and a normal person, so I wish him happiness in his love life!]

[Following Best Actor Xiao for so many years, he has many praiseworthy works. Now that he is openly in a relationship, I feel excited and also think he’s a good man!]

[Nonsense, our brother is not like those idols!]

In the makeup room of the filming set.

Bai Lingshan’s makeup artist asked with a laugh, "Shanshan, you’ve got to share your secrets, how did you manage to snag a big star like Xiao Yi?"

As is well-known, Xiao Yi hardly had any scandals in the industry; the only rumor was with Ye Zhenzhen. But everyone knows about Ye Zhenzhen’s current status.

It seemed impossible, and then came Bai Lingshan, this seemingly fragile girl who managed to quietly bring Best Actor Xiao home to meet her parents, creating a buzz on the trending searches.

And they went ahead and openly acknowledged their relationship on Weibo.

Embarrassed, Bai Lingshan didn’t know what to say, "Um..."

"Just a fluke, I guess..."

She had never dreamed that such a thing would happen.

Especially since a man like Xiao Yi was not only outstanding on his own but also very responsible.

The makeup artist was flabbergasted, "A fluke? You mean just by confessing to him every day and then he accepted?"

It was no secret that this girl had confessed to Xiao Yi on her first day in the crew.

Bai Lingshan just smiled and didn’t respond further.

Xia Zhi and Director Yang’s little assistant stood outside the makeup room exchanging looks.

Xia Zhi’s complexion wasn’t too good; she clearly hadn’t rested all night.

The little assistant sighed, "There’s truth to the saying, ’It’s just a veil between a pursuing woman and a man.’ Tell me, with so many opportunities, how come you just..."

"Sometimes such things are about fate, which cannot be forced. Just having him act out my screenplay makes me very happy."

Xia Zhi handed a modified script segment to the little assistant, "Give this to her. I’m sleepy, I’ll go back to the hotel for a nap before I come back."

The little assistant rushed to keep up with her, "Xia Zhi, should I get someone to drive you back to the hotel?"

"No need, I can get there myself."

When Xia Zhi arrived, she happened to run into Xiao Yi coming out of the dressing room.

Xiao Yi appeared calm as he greeted Xia Zhi before heading towards the shooting site.

Xia Zhi called out to him, "Xiao Yi..."

"What is it?"

Xiao Yi stopped and turned around, "Does the dialogue from yesterday still need further changes?"

Xia Zhi stepped forward, her heart filled with frustration, "Can’t I be looking for you for something other than that?"

"You can." Xiao Yi’s gaze was calm as he smiled slightly and asked, "What is it that the screenwriter needs from me? Just tell me straight."

Xia Zhi’s eyes reddened, she bit her lip hard then relaxed and said, "If I were to confess to you now, would there still be a chance to salvage it?"

As far as she knew, Xiao Yi’s relationship with Bai Lingshan was only a matter of the past few days. If it was because of a confession that he couldn’t refuse, she wanted to try her luck too...

Xiao Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly, his tone serious, "Xia Zhi, I really respect you, and that’s all there is to it. I think you may feel the same about me."
