“Future Lady, this is just the beginning. If you think it doesn't matter, there will be even more exciting content later. Young Master Si said he is giving you a choice: whether you want to go back to find him yourself or let us take you back…” Duan Ruyin walked up to Xinran, leaned close to her ear, and conveyed Mu Shaosi's original words in a low voice.
“Is this a choice for me?” Xinran glared at Duan Ruyin. Damn Mu Shaosi, pushing her into the spotlight like this, claiming she was pregnant with his child and that she had run away from home. How could she clear her name now?
Her previously simple life had turned chaotic. The Paparazzi were already interested in such insider news, especially something as explosive as a hidden marriage and child. That man was comfortably staying in Japan, free from worries about being bothered by the Paparazzi, who could never find his mysterious whereabouts. But she was not so fortunate; as a public figure, she was always exposed to the spotlight, and now there was no way to hide!
“So, Japan is always welcoming Future Lady back. You can treat it as a vacation; reuniting with Young Master Si would be nice, right? After all, you have no work to keep you busy now, do you?”
Duan Ruyin's words only fueled Xinran's anger. Who made her have no work? Wasn't it all because of Mu Shaosi? First, he issued a statement canceling her role, then he attracted the Paparazzi to expose her pregnancy. He had never cared about her feelings; it was all about forcing her to comply with him. It sounded nice to say he was giving her a choice, but what was it really?
Pressing her lips together, Xinran didn't want to provide the Paparazzi and onlookers with any more entertainment. She had intended to come for coffee with Jerry to calm down, but instead, her mind felt even more chaotic and irritated. She pushed past Duan Ruyin and ran away without looking back. At that moment, all she wanted was to get home quickly, not think about anything, sleep well, and deal with tomorrow when it came. Even if Mu Shaosi had more exciting content planned, so be it; she was already pregnant—what else was there to fear?
“Xinran, be careful!” Seeing Xinran rush off recklessly, Jerry called out worriedly from behind. Fortunately, the Paparazzi did not chase after her; otherwise, he couldn't guarantee how Xinran would react. He had never seen such an ugly expression on her face in all the years he had known her.
“I don't know you well, but I assume you're on his side. What I need to tell you is that this time he may have overplayed his hand. Xinran's heart has already softened; she has always loved him. Going back is just a matter of time. However, his impatience might ruin her original intentions…” Jerry said calmly before striding off to find Xinran. If she went back and cried her heart out, he wouldn’t worry too much; he just feared that she would keep everything bottled up inside—that had always been her habit.
“Let’s go.” After hearing Jerry's words, Duan Ruyin shrugged and turned back to Shouhe Tengu. With the main characters gone, they naturally needed to report back to Young Master Si. How this entangled couple would resolve their issues was up to them; others could only assist but could not do more.
“Do you have any more news to break?” The present Paparazzi saw them about to leave and hurriedly blocked their way.
Mukai Hisashi exchanged glances with those behind him; the men in black instantly blocked the Paparazzi. The three of them glanced at the persistent reporters without saying anything and turned to leave. The show was over; their identities had reverted back to being the masters of Cherry Blossom Hall, no longer anyone who leaked information—this was no longer their concern!
