Chapter 372: No Need
"These reports have only appeared online so far, but I estimate they will soon be appearing in newspapers and other media!" Sister Hong said anxaciously, "We must hold a press conference quickly to clarify this issue!!"
Bai Ruguo finally lifted her head and blinked her Heavenly Cloud-like eyes, saying, "There's no need to hold a press conference."
"What, no press conference??" Sister Hong paused, wondering if she had heard wrong.
Then, she hastily said, "Yaoyao, we must hold it, otherwise, it will greatly affect your popularity!! Especially those male fans of yours, if you are involved in this kind of scandal, then your influence—"
"I said there's no need for a press conference, and there's no need to clarify anything," Bai Ruguo said again, directly interrupting Sister Hong's words.
Her tone left no room for doubt.
"This—"
Sister Hong didn't know what to say. If any other star had spoken like this, she would have already given them a lesson or even brought up the contract to discuss the matter.
But Bai Ruguo was just too different; she wasn't just a star under Feige Entertainment, she was also the future owner of the company. In the end, she was just working for the other party, how could she dare to question the latter's decisions?
Bai Ruguo understood that Sister Hong meant well and consoled her, "Sister Hong, even if my influence decreases or my fame isn't as great as before, it doesn't matter to me."
Sister Hong immediately grasped what she meant and couldn't help but gasp.
She had been in this industry for many years and knew when a star speaks like this, it often means that they are planning to leave the circle.
She was startled and said, "Yaoyao, you—"
"I've recently been working hard to learn some business management and have been slowly integrating into the management system at Feige Entertainment."
Bai Ruguo smiled lightly and said, "My father said he left me a big inheritance, and I should find someone who understands business. But for me, only what I like is suitable. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand business; I can manage it myself and earn a lot of money for him."
Sister Hong was stunned, then she smiled wryly, "I guessed you liked him, but I didn't realize you liked him so much."
In the entertainment circle, she had seen too many so-called 'likes' that changed after a few days. She had never seen someone like Bai Ruguo who liked someone enough to sacrifice everything for them.
...
In the evening, when Liu Wentian drove Bai Ruguo home, he asked her if she was going to hold a press conference to explain today's events to the public, as he really didn't want to become every man's enemy.
Otherwise, at least for the near future, if he was recognized while out, he estimated a group of men would chase him, wanting to perish together with him.
"There's no need for a press conference. Those who are clear are clear; such things will only get murkier the more you explain. Better not to deal with it at all," Bai Ruguo said.
Liu Wentian was at a loss for words, saying "'Murkier the more you explain' isn't used that way, right?? If you don't explain, Human Sect will take your words as truth, and then you really will become my girlfriend!!"
Bai Ruguo was annoyed and said, "As for the entertainment circle, do you know better or do I? If you don't know, then don't talk nonsense!!"
After speaking, she huffed and said, "Why, being my boyfriend is demeaning to you, or what??"
Liu Wentian was left speechless; this didn't seem to be a question of demeaning or not.
Bai Ruguo's eyes shifted, and she suddenly appeared somewhat bashful, saying, "Liu Wentian!!"
Liu Wentian asked, "What??"
Having been scorned by her a moment ago for being unprofessional, Liu Wentian was a bit dejected.
Bai Ruguo said, "From now on, stop calling me Miss!!"
Liu Wentian was stunned and said, "Wasn't it you who insisted I call you Miss before??"
Bai Ruguo snorted, "Well now I'm telling you to stop calling it, you are my bodyguard, you should listen to me!"
Liu Wentian, indifferent, said, "Alright, then what do I call you from now on??"
Bai Ruguo's cheeks flushed a bright red, her voice feigning calm, "Call me Yaoyao!"
"Uh..." Liu Wentian was stunned, staring at Bai Ruguo; something felt off.
"What are you looking at, just call me Yaoyao!!" Bai Ruguo said, slightly embarrassed, speaking while she kicked Liu Wentian lightly in the leg.
"Uh, okay," Liu Wentian nodded, whether he called her Yaoyao or Miss, it was all the same to him.
But, he wasn't foolish and had noticed that Bai Ruguo seemed a bit different after her declaration of war against Li Chuyue.
It seemed like Miss was really about to throw herself at him...
After dropping off Bai Ruguo at the Bai Family's place, Liu Wentian continued to his own lodging, which was where Fan Xiaoyu stayed.
Fan Xiaoyu and the two young girls had already returned from Songchang City, and Zi Qing was also at home.
Before Liu Wentian returned, he had already notified them, but seeing Liu Wentian still made them extremely happy; the two young girls clung to him like accessories.
Yet, not sure if it was just his imagination, Liu Wentian always felt that when Zi Qing looked at him, there seemed to be some resentfulness in her eyes.
Fan Xiaoyu's smile was sweet. The previous engagement gifts that Liu Wentian sent, along with the mushy phrase "You are my priceless treasure, my heart will never change, I hope you won't despise me" sent by Qian Bao, moved Fan Xiaoyu so much she thought about flying into his arms right then.
Now, seeing Liu Wentian return, if it wasn't for the consideration of Zi Qing and the two girls, even with her reserved personality, she would have struggled not to throw herself into Liu Wentian's arms.
