Zhang Shishi was also somewhat puzzled. What could Xue Xiangtong want? Why call so urgently?
Mu Shaochen immediately answered the phone: "Tong Tong..."
"Third Brother, why did you take so long to answer?" Xue Xiangtong said anxiously.
Mu Shaochen hadn’t yet blamed her for disturbing him, but she was already in such a rush. He cleared his throat lightly: "What’s up?"
"Have you seen the entertainment news? The reporters are saying..." Xue Xiangtong asked him.
Zhang Shishi immediately took out her phone and looked, almost in tears: "Shao Chen, what do we do? The reporters are only going to make things worse. They’re claiming I was making out with Shao Jue in the living room..."
Mu Shaochen hadn’t thought someone would secretly take photos, "I’ll handle it, don’t worry."
Xue Xiangtong sighed, "Third Brother, you know Shishi is a celebrity. Why were you kissing her in the living room? And why would you go and kiss at Sixth Brother’s place?"
"Mu Shaojie was bullying Shishi. He made her clean up for him. I was upset and went to confront him," Mu Shaochen explained, knowing she wasn’t an outsider. "I can’t bear Shishi doing housework, so I went instead..."
"Oh, I see," Xue Xiangtong understood now, "Sixth Brother is also in the wrong. I’ll go and talk to him!"
Without waiting for Mu Shaochen to speak, she hung up the phone.
Zhang Shishi knew she was always energetic and lively, "Tong Tong’s like a Pacific cop!"
Mu Shaochen was amused by her, "She’s very enthusiastic, loud but kind-hearted. She likes playing the Pacific cop role!"
"Shao Chen, what do we do?" Zhang Shishi frowned, "The media keeps mistaking you for Mu Shaojie and they’re making it more exaggerated..."
Mu Shaochen pulled her into his arms, "Being in the entertainment circle, some things are beyond our control. But Shishi, tell me, who is the man you like? Who do you want to kiss?"
Zhang Shishi gazed at him, "Of course, I like Shao Chen and only want to kiss you..."
Before she finished speaking, Mu Shaochen lowered his head again and kissed her on the lips.
"Shishi, for your career, I’m willing to be invisible." Mu Shaochen whispered intimately in her ear, "As long as your heart is only for me, I’m willing to wait for you..."
Zhang Shishi, moved, hugged his neck, "Shao Chen, why are you so good to me? Thank you for being so understanding!"
"From now on, I’m just a shadow lover. Miss Shishi must take good care of me, okay?" He reached out to stroke her hair.
"Okay, Shishi will take care of you." She smiled, "Only care for Shao Chen."
"Let’s head back," he ruffled her hair, "Come to my room tonight."
Zhang Shishi nodded, "Sure!"
...
Tianqin Residence.
Mu Anhan received a call from Xue Xiangtong and understood what was going on.
Upon hearing it, she laughed heartily, "That’s the kind of thing Sixth Brother would do! He’s been lazy since childhood, even making his older brothers do chores!"
"And you’re laughing. Shishi is worried the media will write nonsense, and if CP fans don’t agree, it’ll be hard to fix." Xue Xiangtong was also worried, "If it ends up ruining Sixth Brother and Shishi, what will we do?"
Mu Anhan laughed, "Don’t worry too much about these things. Success requires genuine effort. Hype can only make you popular for a moment. To remain consistently successful, one needs good works. Once this show becomes a hit, who will keep focusing on CP fans?"
