Forced to Live Together After Picking Up the Child of My Rival Alpha - Chapter 28
“Someone took photos of us at the amusement park and has already posted them online.”
Even if Yu Jin hadn’t asked, Song Yuan would have told her about this matter, as Yu Jin was the only one who could help her with this situation.
Unexpectedly, Yu Jin simply took a sip of water without saying a word.
This made Song Yuan anxious. “Well!”
“Miss Yu, you already agreed to my request at the restaurant before. Now that photos of you and me have been leaked online, shouldn’t you do something about it?”
She looked at Yu Jin with pleading eyes, hoping for some reaction.
Seeing Song Yuan’s pitiful expression, Yu Jin’s eyes flickered slightly. She took another sip of water to suppress the smile threatening to curl her lips, then pulled out her phone under Song Yuan’s watchful gaze.
One minute later, Yu Jin put her phone away.
She tilted her chin toward Song Yuan. “Done.”
Song Yuan immediately took out her own phone and opened the app to check, finding the message Yu Jin had posted.
Current girlfriend @Song Yuan.
Just these simple few words once again stirred up massive waves online.
Although Yu Jin’s Weibo post had just been published, there were already numerous comments from netizens underneath.
[Yu Jin’s Official Wife: Am I still dreaming, or is today April Fool’s Day? What is my wife posting! Could it be that she lost a truth or dare game and had to say this!]
[Ten Years for Yu: Wife Yu Jin, were you hacked or kidnapped? How could you suddenly post such an unbelievable message!]
[Yu Jin You’re Squishing My Hair: Getting out my 50-meter long blade, Song Yuan what did you do to my Yu Jin! How could she suddenly say something like this!]
[Yu Yu’s Little Darling: No, I can’t accept this, Wife Yu Jin belongs to her fans!]
Many of Yu Jin’s fans had previously criticized Song Yuan. Now with Yu Jin’s post, numerous fans commented under her Weibo, shouting that they couldn’t accept this situation, and @-ing Yu Jin’s agent and team to ask if Yu Jin’s account had been hacked. They simply refused to believe that Yu Jin would be with Song Yuan.
The devastated Yu Jin fans, unwilling to direct their anger at their idol, began fiercely attacking Song Yuan instead.
Song Yuan’s fans reacted equally strongly, on one hand unable to accept that Song Yuan was Yu Jin’s current girlfriend, while on the other hand engaging in verbal battles with Yu Jin’s fans who were attacking Song Yuan.
The hashtag #YuJinCurrentGirlfriend# instantly dropped to twentieth place on the hot search rankings, with a trend of continuing to rise.
Opening the hot search rankings now showed them almost completely dominated by Song Yuan’s name, sufficiently demonstrating just how much public discussion Song Yuan had sparked online.
Fans from both sides were arguing fiercely online, though there were also a small number of rational fans among them.
[Crazy for Yuan: Everyone in the entertainment industry knows how cold Yu Jin’s personality is – she’s the celestial Alpha in many people’s hearts! For Yuan Yuan to be able to win over Yu Jin is truly amazing!]
[Rare Encounter with Yu: I think their decision to be together is most likely related to Luoluo. I suspect the child who’s been appearing around Song Yuan recently is Luoluo.]
【Yuanyuan’s Harem Member One: My aunt’s younger sister’s boyfriend is part of Song Yuan’s team. Luoluo was picked up by her at the orphanage entrance. She might even adopt Luoluo together with Yu Jin.】
【Just Love Sweet Gossip: Speaking of which, both of them are Alphas. Aren’t you curious about who’s on top?】
Song Yuan felt a headache coming on as she read the online chatter. She rubbed her temples and sent a message to her manager.
【Sister Weiwei, have you seen the news Yu Jin posted? Should I step forward and respond?】
Luo Wei replied quickly, clearly keeping a close eye on the online situation as well.
【Don’t respond for now. Let’s wait and see how the fans react and which way the public opinion leans. In the meantime, when you interact with Yu Jin privately, try to gauge her intentions.】
Song Yuan sent back a sticker of a little figure giving an “OK” gesture, then closed the chat window.
Photos of her and Yu Jin taking Luoluo to the amusement park had already been posted online. Based on Song Yuan’s understanding of her fans, it wouldn’t be long before they figured out which amusement park she was at some might even rush over to surround her.
A large crowd could easily lead to trouble. She wouldn’t mind if she were alone, but today, she had Luoluo with her.
Worried for Luoluo’s safety, Song Yuan decided it was best to leave early.
“Luoluo, it’s getting late. How about we head home today? Mommy will bring you back to play another time, okay?”
Luoluo was a well-behaved child and had already had a lot of fun, so she didn’t seem reluctant.
“Okay, let’s go home.”
Yu Jin had also considered the same possibility. Without saying much, she picked up Luoluo and walked with Song Yuan toward the amusement park exit.
But just as they reached the entrance, fans had already found them.
“Yuanyuan!”
Someone recognized Song Yuan and called out her name, and soon others noticed them too.
“Ah!!! It’s really our Yuanyuan!”
“Yu Jin, my love!”
Song Yuan’s heart sank. “Let’s go, quick!”
Yu Jin’s expression darkened as she held Luoluo tightly and hurried toward the parking area.
Once the three of them were in the car, Yu Jin started the engine and drove off swiftly.
Some fans, unwilling to give up, chased after the car on foot.
But how could they possibly outrun a car? Before long, Yu Jin had left the frantic fans far behind.
Song Yuan let out a deep sigh of relief. “Thank goodness we got away quickly.”
If they had been even a moment slower and gotten surrounded by fans, it would have taken them hours to escape.
The car drove smoothly, and half an hour later, it stopped at the entrance of Song Yuan’s apartment building.
Song Yuan got out with Luoluo and glanced at Yu Jin, who was still in the car. She extended a polite invitation: “Miss Yu, would you like to come up for a bit?”
Hearing Song Yuan’s words, Luoluo’s expression shifted slightly, her eyes fixed intently on Yu Jin.
A child’s heart is pure and easy to read.
Yu Jin immediately sensed that Luoluo wanted her to come upstairs. Her gaze softened, and she agreed.
“Alright.”
Song Yuan had expected someone of Yu Jin’s temperament to refuse outright, so she was caught off guard by the acceptance and stood frozen in place for a moment.
Luoluo, holding Yu Jin’s hand, took a few steps forward before realizing Song Yuan wasn’t following. Puzzled, she called out.
“Mommy?”
Song Yuan snapped back to reality and quickly followed.
Even after Yu Jin entered Song Yuan’s home and sat on the sofa playing with Luoluo, Song Yuan still felt a sense of unreality.
It had been a long time since Luoluo had been so close with Yu Jin. Now that Yu Jin was here, Luoluo clung to her, wanting to stay by her side at all times.
Time flew by, and evening arrived.
Seeing that Yu Jin showed no intention of leaving, Song Yuan grew a bit anxious, unsure of what Yu Jin was planning.
However, she couldn’t bring herself to ask Yu Jin to leave, so she pretended not to mind.
Because of the photo incident earlier that day, Song Yuan hadn’t gone out. Instead, she had called a restaurant to deliver food.
“Miss Yu, Luoluo, it’s time to eat,” Song Yuan said as she unpacked the food containers and arranged them on the dining table.
Hearing this, Luoluo ended her cuddle session with Yu Jin, slid off the sofa, and toddled over to the table on her short little legs.
“Mommy.”
Song Yuan looked down at the call. With her height advantage, all she could see was the top of Luoluo’s head.
Such a little sprout.
She chuckled softly, picked Luoluo up, and placed her on a nearby stool.
“Luoluo, sit here nicely. Once Mommy finishes setting the table, we can eat.”
“Okay.”
Luoluo swung her little legs and sat obediently without moving.
Yu Jin walked over at that moment, and Song Yuan reached out, handing her one of the containers of rice.
As Yu Jin took it, her fingers brushed lightly against the back of Song Yuan’s hand.
A tingling sensation seemed to spread from Song Yuan’s hand throughout her entire body. The moment Yu Jin took the container, Song Yuan quickly withdrew her hand.
She glanced up at Yu Jin, whose expression remained perfectly calm, as if nothing unusual had happened.
Song Yuan rubbed the back of her hand. For a moment, she had thought Yu Jin had touched her on purpose, but it seemed she was overthinking it.
Song Yuan, oh Song Yuan, she’s a renowned film queen. Why would she intentionally touch your hand? Don’t be so full of yourself.
Unnoticed by her, while she was inwardly scolding herself, Yu Jin glanced up and looked at her.
Once the food was laid out, Song Yuan sat to Luoluo’s right. Instead of choosing the seat opposite, Yu Jin sat down beside Song Yuan.
Song Yuan raised an eyebrow at this but said nothing.
During the meal, Song Yuan focused on taking care of Luoluo, but whether intentionally or not, Yu Jin’s arm and fingers kept brushing against Song Yuan from time to time.
The entire meal left Song Yuan feeling as if she were sitting on pins and needles. As soon as they finished eating, she immediately seized the excuse of taking out the trash to go downstairs.
The cool breeze brushed against her flushed cheeks, finally bringing down their temperature a bit.
She let out a deep sigh. Yu Jin was a stunning beauty, who could remain unaffected by such subtle, repeated contact?
But during the meal, had Yu Jin really been doing it unintentionally?
Song Yuan ruffled her hair, unsure of what to make of Yu Jin’s behavior.
She couldn’t linger downstairs for too long. After tossing the trash into the bin, she turned and headed back upstairs.
When she returned to the apartment, Luoluo was already nestled in Yu Jin’s arms.
Hearing her come in, Luoluo lifted her little face and asked, “Mommy, can Mama stay over tonight? Luoluo wants to sleep with Mama.”
Song Yuan was baffled. She had only been downstairs for a moment to throw out the trash how had Luoluo already decided she wanted Yu Jin to stay?
What had happened while she was gone?!
Had Yu Jin said something to Luoluo?
Song Yuan instinctively glanced at Yu Jin, but Yu Jin’s expression remained unreadable, revealing nothing to Song Yuan.
Tonight, Yu Jin gave Song Yuan an unusually uneasy feeling; she actually didn’t want Yu Jin to stay.
However, she and Yu Jin had only just established a cooperative relationship, and Yu Jin had even sent messages to support her when the amusement park photos were exposed. Refusing Luoluo and not letting Yu Jin stay at this moment would seem somewhat inappropriate.
Song Yuan sighed inwardly and chose to compromise.
“There is still a guest bedroom in the house. If Miss Yu wishes to stay, you can spend the night there, though I’m not sure if it’s convenient for you.”
“If it’s not convenient, that’s fine too. Luoluo has always been sensible and will surely understand.”
Yu Jin’s thin lips parted slightly, but she did not refuse as Song Yuan had hoped.
“Since Luoluo wants me to stay, then I’ll stay.”
