After Secretly Marrying the Top Celebrity, I Fell in Love - Chapter 51

The night was too quiet, so quiet that Bo Yiyan could hear her own heart beating rapidly, as well as Ye Manqing’s soft, even, and long breaths.

Due to the effect of alcohol, Ye Manqing fell asleep in less than ten minutes after lying down.

Bo Yiyan suddenly felt a little disappointed; she had finally been brave, but Ye Manqing was asleep.

After a long while, Bo Yiyan’s voice sounded in the bedroom again, full of deep affection, every word clear to the ear.

“Teacher Ye, I like you.”

After saying that, Bo Yiyan lowered her eyes and slowly leaned in, kissing Ye Manqing’s hair. Then, she softly whispered “Good night” near her ear.

As soon as the words fell, Ye Manqing, who was facing away from her, suddenly spoke.

“Wife, I really like you.”

“…!” Bo Yiyan’s breathing hitched, her heart suddenly sped up, and she nervously asked back, “Teacher Ye, what did you say?”

Bo Yiyan held her breath, quietly waiting for Ye Manqing’s reply, but after waiting for a long time, Ye Manqing did not respond.

It turned out that Ye Manqing was just talking in her sleep.

Bo Yiyan suddenly smiled, a layer of misty moisture gradually covering her brown pupils, and her eyes became wet, a crystal clear tear hanging on her eyelashes.

It was on the verge of falling.

…

Bo Yiyan slept very soundly last night, dreamless, and slept soundly until dawn, only to be woken up by the “8 o’clock alarm” set on her phone.

Turning off the alarm, Bo Yiyan habitually opened the weather forecast.

September 21st, sunny, temperature 23 degrees. Excellent air quality, light breeze.

Bo Yiyan subconsciously turned her head to look beside her; no one was on the pillow.

Bo Yiyan slowly retracted her gaze, sat up and leaned against the headboard. After resting her mind against the headboard for a while, Bo Yiyan finally got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When Bo Yiyan changed her clothes and arrived in the suite’s living room, she looked up and saw Ye Manqing standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the phone.

Ye Manqing was wearing a light apricot loungewear set, her slightly curled long hair cascaded down her back, the ends lightly sweeping her waist. After a long silence, the woman finally spoke into the phone again.

“You must find out who exactly leaked the photos.”

“Notify me immediately the first time you get any news.”

“Try to suppress all the negative public opinion.”

Although her voice was not loud, because the living room was so quiet. Therefore, every sentence and every word Ye Manqing said was clearly transmitted to Bo Yiyan’s ears.

Bo Yiyan stood quietly in place, waiting for Ye Manqing to finish the call. As Ye Manqing turned around, the two spoke almost at the same time.

“Yanyan, you’re awake.”

“Morning, Teacher Ye.”

Bo Yiyan noticed with just a glance that Ye Manqing’s face was wrong; the woman’s eyes carried obvious worry.

“Teacher Ye, did something happen?” Bo Yiyan asked with concern.

“Yanyan, you’re trending,” Ye Manqing said frankly. “It’s not a good trending topic.”

“…!” Upon hearing this, Bo Yiyan’s right hand holding the phone tightened involuntarily, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Lowering her eyelids, Bo Yiyan immediately unlocked her phone with her fingerprint. Then she opened Weibo and clicked into the Weibo hot search list.

The top three on the Weibo hot search list were: #Female Star and Coal Boss#, #Bo Yiyan Orphan#, #The Big Shot Behind Bo Yiyan Fu Yu#

Bo Yiyan frowned, clicking on these three hot searches one by one. She then quickly read through the hot search content, found the cause, and clarified the connection between them.

The cause was that at eleven o’clock last night, a blogger posted a photo of a little girl, behind whom was a children’s welfare institution. The little girl in the photo was simply a miniature version of Bo Yiyan. Therefore, netizens concluded that the little girl in the photo was Bo Yiyan and guessed that Bo Yiyan was actually an orphan.

Subsequently, some netizens exposed photos of Bo Yiyan as an extra, and other netizens dug up that Bo Yiyan had not attended university.

At first, the term #Bo Yiyan Orphan# was consistently ranked first on the hot search list. Subsequently, two other hot searches were derived from this term.

Superficially, the term #Female Star and Coal Boss# had no direct connection with Bo Yiyan. The content of that Weibo post was a list of female stars in the entertainment industry whose backing by a coal boss had been proven over the years.

But everyone understood tacitly that this was subtly referring to Bo Yiyan also having a “coal boss” behind her.

Everyone speculated that Bo Yiyan was very likely to be kept by a certain “coal boss,” which allowed her to bring funds into the production. Otherwise, given her background, how could she enter Zhang Mingxiu’s crew, and be the second female lead, no less.

In fact, initially, the term #The Big Shot Behind Bo Yiyan Fu Yu# was ranked second on the hot search, only second to #Bo Yiyan Orphan#.

Last night, just after the first hot search exploded, CP fans stayed up all night to edit a short video of the two. Using the set videos released by Jiu Tian over the past month, the photos of Bo Yiyan being exposed as an extra, combined with clips from some TV series and movies Fu Yu had acted in, they used high-tech editing to create a short drama that, although only three minutes long, had a full plot.

After the video was posted, it rushed onto the hot search within half an hour, leading to the related term: #The Big Shot Behind Bo Yiyan Fu Yu#

This was a question.

The hot search term had no punctuation, so the question mark was only visible after clicking on the hot search. However, the CP fans were going crazy, and many CP fans provided so-called detailed evidence, “reasonably and factually” trying to prove that this was not a question, but the truth.

“…” Bo Yiyan stood still, her face very pale.

It was her first time encountering such a situation, and she didn’t know how to respond, feeling a bit helpless.

“Yanyan, don’t worry,” Ye Manqing strode forward, gazing at Bo Yiyan’s slightly red eyes, and said gently, “I have already contacted Fu Yu and asked her to respond to the online comments about you two.”

“In addition, regarding your background, you still need to come forward and respond. As for the other comments, you don’t need to pay attention to them right now. Because no matter what you say now, without enough evidence to support it, everyone will only think you are trying to quibble.”

“Trust me, I will take care of everything.” After saying that, Ye Manqing opened her arms and pulled Bo Yiyan into her embrace, holding her tightly with distress.

Bo Yiyan leaned into Ye Manqing’s arms, wrapping her hands around the other’s waist, and softly responded with an “Mhm.”

Bathed in the morning light, the two quietly embraced for a while.

“Alright, let’s eat first,” Ye Manqing said, looking at the top of Bo Yiyan’s head and coaxing softly, “I’ll take you to the airport later.”

“Okay.” Bo Yiyan obediently agreed, trying hard to hold back the tear that was about to escape her eyes.

Having suffered such a great injustice, Bo Yiyan didn’t shed a single tear. Because she understood that crying would not solve the problem.

…

After breakfast, on the way to the airport. Bo Yiyan made a corresponding response regarding her hot search, admitting that the little girl in the photo was indeed herself.

Bo Yiyan: [I am a child from the ** Welfare Institution. This is a photo I took when I was eight years old. I remember that winter was very cold, and it snowed heavily. I did not attend university. I started working right after graduating from high school, being an extra and running part-time delivery. I have always dreamed of being an actress since I was a child. Luckily, my dream came true. Thank you all for your continuous support. I will uphold my original intention and continue to move forward.]

After this Weibo post was sent, the related term #Bo Yiyan Response# was trending on Weibo within half an hour.

Prior to this, Fu Yu had also made a corresponding response to the hot search, issuing a statement.

Fu Yu: [Waking up to see the hot search about me online, I feel it is necessary to stand up and clarify. I’m quite happy to see everyone say that I am the big shot behind Xiao Bai. Who knew, I actually ship my own CP with Xiao Bai too. However, the truth is, Xiao Bai and I are just friends. Additionally, I’d like to add that Xiao Bai and I only met after joining the crew; before that, we had no interactions. I hope everyone ships CP rationally, always loving you all (kiss)]

Although both Bo Yiyan and Fu Yu responded, everyone still suspected that Bo Yiyan relied on a certain big shot to bring funds into the production, and the mud on Bo Yiyan was not washed away as a result.
