After A Secret Marriage Agreement With A Rival Omega - Chapter 61

Chapter 61

◎ My answer to you will be different. ◎

Sheng Ruxi was letting the doctor perform various tests on her, primarily to see if her body had been affected by Yu Qinglan’s pheromones.

While waiting, Zhou Mei was by her side, angry and anxious: “That Yu Qinglan! She was about to enter her special period, yet she didn’t get an inhibitor shot or report it in advance. What’s the use of apologizing now? She’s caused such a huge mess!”

On her way here, she had already received an apology message from Yu Qinglan’s manager and their subsequent public relations plan.

In addition to promising a public apology, they would also compensate for all losses. The reason for their swift action was obvious.

This was Sheng Ruxi. If you offend her, it doesn’t matter if you’re a second-tier actress, she can still make you disappear.

Sheng Ruxi, however, was a little absent-minded.

Zhou Mei was afraid she hadn’t heard and repeated herself before saying: “What do you think? Yu Qinglan probably wants to minimize her losses. She still wants to finish filming this drama.”

Finally, Zhou Mei couldn’t help but say in a cold voice: “I think the reason they’re responding so quickly is because too many people were affected this time.”

Even though the set was half-cleared, there was no ventilation system in the studio. Almost all the staff members were affected.

It was Jian Jixing who arrived in time, took Sheng Ruxi away, and used her pheromones to suppress Yu Qinglan, making the scene temporarily controllable.

Not to mention, when she came out, she threw up on the street before getting in the car. It was all filmed and uploaded online.

Zhou Mei was worried: “The buzz is too big. The company has already negotiated with social media platforms. If the trending topics about you two don’t go down for too long, they’ll just remove them. Anyway, they have to be removed from the top five.”

Sheng Ruxi then came back to her senses: “About us?”

“Yes, about you and Director Jian…” Zhou Mei sighed in frustration. “Director Jian bringing you to the hospital was such a good opportunity to change people’s perception of your relationship. But because Director Jian threw up, right? People are now making all sorts of wild guesses.”

There were so many people who saw it. Marketing accounts didn’t even have to report it. Any random person’s photo of Jian Jixing and Sheng Ruxi could become a popular post. It was a traffic goldmine.

The two of them were even more popular than the instigator, Yu Qinglan.

No one cared about what happened to Yu Qinglan or if her pheromones were under control.

Netizens were concerned about: Can I smell Director Jian’s pheromones? Are Director Jian’s pheromones super alpha? Does Director Jian really hate Sheng Ruxi so much? She threw up just from holding her?

Zhou Mei thought Sheng Ruxi would be angry, but she didn’t expect the little empress to even slightly curl her lips: “She threw up because Yu Qinglan’s pheromones were too disgusting.”

Zhou Mei: But the netizens don’t believe that!

“As for Yu Qinglan, let’s see how Jian Jixing wants to handle it,” Sheng Ruxi said. “She’s the one who was affected more.” Sheng Ruxi was referring to her health.

Zhou Mei, however, misunderstood. She thought Sheng Ruxi was too lazy to deal with these things and was pushing it to Jian Jixing. She wondered, did she still dislike Director Jian so much? She looked at Sheng Ruxi with hesitation, not knowing what to do next.

She could only wait for the doctor’s report on Sheng Ruxi’s body.

Soon, the doctor came over.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Ruxi’s pheromone levels were only slightly fluctuating but were already stable. In other words, she was perfectly fine.

The doctor’s gaze quickly swept over the back of Sheng Ruxi’s neck and said gently: “In your current situation, you can appropriately increase the frequency with your alpha. After observing for another hour in the hospital, if there are no problems, you can go home.”

The doctor paused and added: “Going home with your alpha and spending more time together will help stabilize both of your pheromones.”

Zhou Mei was stunned. It took her a moment to process the doctor’s words before she realized: “Huh? Are you saying…”

Sheng Ruxi felt a little uncomfortable with Zhou Mei’s gaze and quickly responded: “Okay, I understand. Push me back first.”

Zhou Mei: Well, I was worried for nothing. I thought the young couple had argued again. It turned out that Jian Jixing had already given Sheng Ruxi a temporary mark when she arrived. Otherwise, how could Sheng Ruxi’s pheromones stabilize so quickly?

In the hospital room, Jian Jixing and Gu Shengci had already started to deal with the aftermath.

[Han Han: How are things, Director Jian? I’m so anxious! If something happened to you and Ruxi, I wouldn’t be able to stay in this industry.]

[Han Han: You just have to say the word on how to handle Yu Qinglan. I’ll listen to you.]

Anyone with a bit of foresight knew what was more important.

Even if Yu Qinglan was a second-tier artist, causing such a big blunder and firing the female lead was better than not being able to make a living in the industry anymore.

[Jian Jixing: Replace her]

The two concise words made Han Han pause for a moment. She didn’t expect Jian Jixing to be so firm this time.

Everyone in the industry knew that although Jian Jixing was serious about her work, she always showed some leniency to people.

Therefore, Yu Qinglan’s company had already sent all the press release plans and response methods to Han Han. Han Han also understood that Yu Qinglan’s team’s writing was so sincere. They wanted to use the angle of Yu Qinglan’s professionalism despite her discomfort to gain more fans.

Sheng Ruxi hadn’t expressed her opinion. Han Han thought Jian Jixing wouldn’t care about Sheng Ruxi’s affairs. She didn’t expect her to come out with “replace her.”

It was clear that she was truly angry.

Han Han didn’t dare to be slow. She replied with “okay” and quickly went to handle it.

Gu Shengci said: “The internet is going crazy. It’s such a big deal. Be careful that your aunt and the others see it and say something to you again.”

Jian Jixing took out her phone. After exiting the chat with Han Han, she switched to a social media platform.

There were two photos of her and Sheng Ruxi.

Because of the crowd outside and how eye-catching they were, the photos were all very clear.

The first one was of Jian Jixing already holding Sheng Ruxi. Her expression was tense, and her lips were tightly pursed. Although her entire face showed that she was not to be messed with, she was holding Sheng Ruxi steadily.

The second one was of Jian Jixing having Sheng Ruxi on her back. She was slightly bent over and looked like she was in a lot of pain from throwing up.

The pictures were too clear.

It easily reminded Jian Jixing of the nauseating feeling she had at the time. She really didn’t want to see these two photos anymore.

[What’s going on? I heard from Yu Qinglan’s fan account that Xiao Yu was really just tired? She’s so dedicated! Is she okay now? T_T]

[OMG, don’t make me so anxious. It’s been more than half an hour since the trending topic started, and the companies of these three people haven’t said a word. Is everyone okay?]

[What’s more urgent is us Xi fans. Director Jian’s alpha has already come out, so wouldn’t she and Ruxi… have a passionate fling?]

[Is that even possible? The two of them are like fire and water. Even if you gave them a cup of cyanide to drink, they would probably rather bite their own tongues than touch lips, right?]

Jian Jixing’s eyes narrowed when she saw this comment. Is that really true? Did the netizens misunderstand her and Sheng Ruxi too much?

This comment received a lot of approval from netizens. There were a lot of “hahahaha”s below, and more were surprised that Jian Jixing had shown her pheromones this time.

[I’m shipping them! Don’t you think they’re so shippable? Director Jian’s pheromones are this aggressive tangerine peel incense. Oh my god, doesn’t that just match Xi Xi’s berry pheromones!]

[Didn’t Director Jian release her pheromones just to save Ruxi? And there are still people saying their relationship is bad? Ahhhh!]

[If there was another bite mark, it would be perfect. Sworn enemies turning into lovers. The reason they haven’t responded is because they’re getting a mark, right?]

Good, these were the comments a smart person should make.

Jian Jixing couldn’t help but look into it. She didn’t even notice that someone had come to the door.

Gu Shengci had just seen Sheng Ruxi and wanted to remind Jian Jixing, but Sheng Ruxi stopped her with a look.

Sheng Ruxi also saw what Jian Jixing was looking at.

She gave Gu Shengci a look. Gu Shengci, with the intention of watching a good show, slowly said: “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you? I see that a lot of people have changed their minds about you and Sheng Ruxi.”

Jian Jixing was scrolling through her phone, not even raising her head: “They’re smart people.”

Gu Shengci: “But a lot of people don’t know. Why don’t you go online and reply to yourself? It’s simple and fast. I’ll give you a tip. Just repost this photo. It’s perfect.”

Jian Jixing frowned. She felt that Gu Shengci’s words were strange. She instinctively replied: “No.”

Sheng Ruxi hadn’t said she was going to reply, so why should she? To do a solo act? It would be better to just let the company issue a statement.

At their level, they managed their own social media accounts. They could post whenever they wanted.

Gu Shengci hissed and saw that Sheng Ruxi’s face had darkened.

I’ve helped you this much, and you still don’t appreciate it. Gu Shengci thought, is she an idiot? She decided to help again and quickly said: “Then why don’t I go talk to Sheng Ruxi for you? You two release a response together?”

Jian Jixing thought about what good things could possibly come out of Gu Shengci’s mouth. While refusing, she looked up: “No need—”

When she saw Sheng Ruxi in front of her, her words stopped abruptly.

Gu Shengci seized the opportunity and immediately ran away. Before she left, she didn’t forget to say: “Don’t blame her, Ruxi. She even remade the bed for you.”

What bed? She wouldn’t be sleeping on it for long anyway. Sheng Ruxi looked over with a cold gaze. She thought to herself that even in this situation, she still had to be with Jian Jixing. How could their pheromones be peaceful? This person was going to infuriate her.

Zhou Mei also said: “I’ll go handle the discharge procedures.”

Jian Jixing wasn’t awkward for too long: “Discharge procedures?”

Sheng Ruxi didn’t answer her at all. Instead, she looked up from the wheelchair: “Do you really not want to appear together with me?”

Originally, Sheng Ruxi had indeed thought about going online to tell her fans she was safe. Both her and Jian Jixing’s fan bases were large, so it was the right thing to do to soothe them.

But Gu Shengci asked three times, and Jian Jixing still refused.

“If I didn’t want to appear with you, then what am I doing now?” Jian Jixing wasn’t angry. She paused for a moment and asked again: “Is your body okay now?”

Sheng Ruxi was still sulking. Her tone was stiff: “I won’t be able to sleep on the bed you worked so hard to make. You can put it away.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Jixing easily picked her up, which scared the expression on Sheng Ruxi’s face. Her hands also wrapped around Jian Jixing’s neck.

Until Jian Jixing gently placed her on the bed.

“Then sit for a while, and I’ll put it away,” Jian Jixing said calmly. “It wasn’t hard. If you need it, I’ll make it again tonight.”

“Also, you can ask me again.”

Sheng Ruxi didn’t understand the deeper meaning in Jian Jixing’s words and asked: “What do you mean?”

“Sheng Ruxi, if you want to know, you can ask me directly.” Jian Jixing saw Sheng Ruxi was angry and laughed instead. Her voice held an unmistakable tenderness: “My answer to you will be different.”
