I Stole the Male Lead's White Moonlight [Transmigration] - Chapter 58
“Love’s Obsession” was filmed over three months. Through constant promotion on the official Weibo, Jiang Huai and Zhu Xinya unexpectedly gained CP fans.
When Jiang Huai discovered this, his heart trembled with fear. His first instinct was to explain to Que Hanfu that he had absolutely no inappropriate thoughts about Zhu Xinya!
During the first season of “Facing South Mountain,” everyone had added Que Hanfu on WeChat, but Jiang Huai had never chatted with her before.
Jiang Huai: Professor Que, are you there?
Que Hanfu had just finished a meeting and returned to her office when she heard her phone notification. She picked it up and opened the message.
She knew Jiang Huai was the male lead in “Love’s Obsession.” Why would he suddenly contact her? Could something have happened to Yaya?
Que Hanfu: I’m here.
Jiang Huai: [Bowing] Professor Que, Xinya and I really have nothing going on. I don’t know why we have CP fans either [pounding the ground and crying].
Que Hanfu: You and Yaya have CP fans?
Even though Jiang Huai couldn’t see Que Hanfu, he could sense her slight displeasure from her words.
Jiang Huai: Professor Que, please let me explain!
Que Hanfu: Go ahead.
Jiang Huai: Actually, I don’t know why either. Xinya and I didn’t have any ambiguity on set, and we’re not compatible at all. Unlike you and Yaya – when you stand together, you look like a perfect match made in heaven.
Que Hanfu: Thank you.
Jiang Huai: No, no need to thank me.
Que Hanfu was unexpectedly easy to talk to.
This made Jiang Huai feel even more guilty, as if he were some kind of third wheel, filled with a sense of wrongdoing.
Jiang Huai: Professor Que, I’ll handle this matter properly, don’t worry! I won’t disturb your work anymore [bows].
Que Hanfu was somewhat curious about how Jiang Huai planned to resolve this.
She wasn’t surprised that Zhu Xinya had other CP fans. As long as Zhu Xinya acted, this situation would occur. Even if they announced their marriage, there would still be fans shipping unconventional pairings.
When Que Hanfu returned home from work in the afternoon, Zhu Xinya was sitting on the carpet playing games. Seeing Que Hanfu return, she immediately threw down the controller and ran over to hug her: “Sister, welcome home~”
Zhu Xinya lifted her head, her fair face framed by clear, bright eyes with thick, upturned lashes like two small fans, her crimson lips slightly pouted.
Que Hanfu wrapped her arm around Zhu Xinya’s slender waist, leaned down and kissed her, gradually deepening the kiss.
When Que Hanfu released her lips, Zhu Xinya’s clear eyes were misty, her lashes fluttering slightly as she breathed through parted lips.
Que Hanfu gently kissed Zhu Xinya’s eyelashes and asked softly: “What would you like to eat tonight?”
After catching her breath, Zhu Xinya said: “Sister, it’s been so long since we’ve eaten out.” looking at Que Hanfu with expectant eyes.
Que Hanfu said: “Alright, let’s eat out then.”
Que Hanfu called her assistant to reserve a table at a highly private restaurant. She and Zhu Xinya both changed into elegant dresses and drove to the restaurant.
Zhu Xinya was quite famous now and easily recognized on the street. To avoid trouble, she would always wear a hat, sunglasses, and mask when going out – fully armed.
However, this naturally attracted attention – after all, it was strange for normal people to wear masks in hot weather.
But at Yunting, there was no need for full disguise. Yunting operated on a membership system where all patrons were either wealthy or influential, including many celebrities. Even if recognized, no one would gossip outside.
Que Hanfu drove directly into the underground garage and took the elevator with Zhu Xinya straight to the top floor.
Que Hanfu had reserved a table by the window, and the server led them there.
After they sat down, the server brought the menu. Que Hanfu took it and ordered dishes that Zhu Xinya loved.
Zhu Xinya rested her chin on her hand, gazing out at the city lights.
“What are you thinking about?” Que Hanfu asked.
Zhu Xinya turned to her with a radiant smile. “I was thinking about you, sis.”
Que Hanfu’s expression softened. “I’m right here in front of you. Do you still need to think about me?”
Zhu Xinya looked at Que Hanfu as if she couldn’t get enough. “I was just thinking, what kind of incredible luck did I have to meet you?”
Que Hanfu replied, “That’s what I wanted to say too.”
Her expression was earnest, her eyes filled with deep affection. Even her usual cool demeanor couldn’t suppress her love for Zhu Xinya. Que Hanfu took Zhu Xinya’s hand from the table and held it in her own. “Yaya, I—”
“Professor Que, Xinya!” A man’s voice interrupted Que Hanfu.
Zhu Xinya looked up and saw Jiang Huai with a relatively unknown actress from the industry. “You’re here to eat too? What a coincidence.”
Jiang Huai was excited. “It really is! Tingting and I decided to come here last minute. I didn’t expect to run into you.”
“Tingting, let me introduce you. This is the famous Professor Que. I’m sure you know her and this is Zhu Xinya, the female lead in the movie I just finished filming.”
Wen Tingting greeted both Que Hanfu and Zhu Xinya, her eyes lingering on their still-clasped hands. A look of shock and understanding flashed in her eyes.
Wen Tingting was a devoted fan of Seeing the South Mountain. From the first episode, she had sensed that Que Hanfu and Zhu Xinya shared a deep bond, one that no one else could intrude upon. At the time, she had envied their friendship, but it turned out it wasn’t just friendship after all.
“Professor Que, Xinya, this is my girlfriend, Wen Tingting.” Jiang Huai scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed.
Zhu Xinya smiled. “You two look really good together.”
Jiang Huai glanced at Wen Tingting beside him and grinned goofily. “I think so too.”
Wen Tingting blushed slightly. “Thank you.”
“We’ve already met each other’s parents and plan to get married next year.” Jiang Huai was a man who took relationships seriously. He was certain Wen Tingting was the one for him.
Zhu Xinya said enviously, “That’s wonderful. You’ll invite me to the wedding, right?”
Que Hanfu glanced at Zhu Xinya.
Jiang Huai replied, “Of course! We’re having a small wedding, only inviting some relatives and close friends, no reporters. You and Professor Que can come together.”
After Jiang Huai and Wen Tingting went to their table, Zhu Xinya said to Que Hanfu, “It’s so nice when lovers end up together.”
Que Hanfu asked, “Where do you think we should hold our wedding?”
Zhu Xinya looked surprised. “Our wedding? It’ll be a long time before we have one, won’t it?”
She propped her chin on her hands. “But I have thought about it. I’d prefer it to be by the seaside. Sis, let’s take our wedding photos by the sea too.”
Que Hanfu’s gaze softened. “Alright, whatever you say.”
After a tender dinner, Que Hanfu and Zhu Xinya prepared to drive home.
As soon as the car left the underground garage, they saw Jiang Huai and Wen Tingting standing by the roadside. Jiang Huai was inspecting a parked car.
Que Hanfu pulled over next to them, and Zhu Xinya got out to ask what was going on.
“Jiang Huai, is there something wrong with your car?” Zhu Xinya walked over to Jiang Huai and asked.
Jiang Huai smiled wryly. “It suddenly wouldn’t start right after leaving the garage. I’m not sure what the problem is. I just called for a tow truck.”
“It’s not convenient to wait here. Let us give you a ride back,” Zhu Xinya said.
Wen Tingting, hearing this, emerged from behind the car. “Won’t that be too much trouble?”
“Not at all. Where do you live?” Zhu Xinya asked.
Jiang Huai provided an address.
“That’s actually on our way. Come on, get in the car with me,” Zhu Xinya said.
The three of them got into the car, and both Jiang Huai and Wen Tingting thanked Que Hanfu again.
“No need to be polite,” Que Hanfu replied.
After Jiang Huai and Wen Tingting were dropped off at their home, Wen Tingting remarked to Jiang Huai, “Professor Que may seem aloof, but she’s actually a very kind person.”
“Exactly, that’s why I need to quickly resolve the issue about Xinya and me being seen as a couple.”
The next day, the hashtag #ZhuXinyaJiangHuaiRelationshipExposed suddenly trended on social media.
