Chapter 108
Gao Hao was surprised - it was rare for Ji Fei to be so serious.
But since she had said so, Gao Hao could only go and issue a statement to handle the situation.
Ji Fei turned around to see both brothers looking at her.
"What?" Ji Fei said uncomfortably.
"You're actually this angry?" Qin Zhao asked in surprise.
"Huh? I'm not angry," Ji Fei said, confused.
Qin Zhao gave a dry laugh and got up to leave.
Qin Xian looked at Ji Fei and said, "Don't be angry."
"I'm really not angry!" Ji Fei was exasperated.
[Argh, I'm so mad! I've already said I'm not angry. It's not like I'm the one who got hurt. I just think it's unfair that someone gets special treatment because of their age. She hurt you, made such a big cut that the flesh was exposed, needing stitches, and you lost so much blood. She should face the appropriate consequences.]
The corners of Qin Xian's mouth turned up slightly.
Soon, a phone chimed. Ji Fei took out her phone and saw that the studio had already posted on Weibo. The tone was very firm, and it also expressed Ji Fei's earlier sentiments.
It especially emphasized that the person injured was Ji Fei's very important family member.
Perhaps because the entertainment industry had experienced too many instances of being morally hijacked by so-called young fans, there weren't many people criticizing the strong stance. There were even quite a few bystanders supporting it.
This put Sun Mo in the hot seat, since it was his fan who caused the trouble.
Many of Sun Mo's current fan base were present at the time. Not only had they not received an explanation from Sun Mo about the night's events, but one of their own had caused such an embarrassing situation, and Sun Mo wasn't coming out to address it.
They didn't blame Ji Fei and Qin Zhao, because even if they were biased towards their idol, they knew this incident had nothing to do with the top-tier group.
All of this was due to Sun Mo's inappropriate behavior.
His fans were furious. Fan sites shut down, and fan leaders came out threatening to unfollow, demanding Sun Mo come out and explain everything.
Finally, Sun Mo's Weibo account posted a live statement announcement. Yang Hong and Xu Meng's Weibo accounts reposted it, with the three jointly stating they would clarify everything in the livestream.
By this time, Ji Fei and the others had already returned home. Ji Fei had just lain down when she saw the livestream announcement and was about to wait for the upcoming broadcast.
Then she received a message from Qin's Mom.
Ji Fei: ?
After returning home, when Qin Xian, with his arm in a sling, needed help undressing and bathing, he was surprised to find the housekeeper wasn't around. He called his father.
"My back hurts, I need to rest. Ask your wife."
Qin Zhao had gone to find a lawyer, so they could only hope for their young nephew Qin Xi. But before the call even connected, there was a knock at the door.
Opening it revealed Ji Fei standing awkwardly at the doorway with her phone, saying, "Mom told me to come help you."
[I absolutely did not come because I heard I could help Qin Xian undress and bathe. I'm definitely here to repay a debt of gratitude!]
Qin Xian: ...
In the bathroom, the shower was already running. Qin Xian's injured right hand was wrapped in several layers of plastic wrap. His expensive clothes had already been cut at the sleeve when treating the wound, so it was simple for Ji Fei to handle.
As she removed each piece of clothing, revealing the top-tier physique underneath, Ji Fei could barely keep the corners of her mouth from turning up.
[Could this be considered a blessing in disguise? Well, it's Qin Xian's misfortune but my fortune. Oh my, is it bad of me to think this way? Hehe!]
Qin Xian leaned against the sink, lowering his gaze, but his ear tips were turning red from Ji Fei's constant inner monologue.
On the surface, Ji Fei maintained a serious, all-business demeanor, but inwardly she was whistling wildly, constantly appraising.
Who isn't a female critic in private?
[That neck, that Adam's apple...]
Qin Xian's Adam's apple bobbed.
[Those collarbones, those shoulders...]
Qin Xian took a deep breath, his collarbones tensing.
[Those abs, I wonder if kneeling on them would hurt my knees! Those V-lines, if only I could touch them...]
Qin Xian felt goosebumps rising on his body, feeling completely uncomfortable. He even involuntarily imagined what Ji Fei would look like doing such things, immediately feeling like he must be going crazy.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, he raised his eyes to look at her, wanting to give a warning, but her gaze had never lifted.
[The steam plus that healthy skin tone, perfect lines, broad shoulders, narrow waist... Wow wow wow...]
Qin Xian: I'm done, I'm completely done. We're married, right? We didn't meet through some weird channel, did we?
[Qin Xian, you're truly a male bodhisattva. You're more pleasing to the eye than all the beautiful men crossdressing in my short video collections!]
Qin Xian: ... What on earth have you been collecting?
[Sisters, who understands? This atmosphere, I really want to take a picture and share it, let the girls enjoy this beautiful scenery!]
Qin Xian, alarmed: You're quite generous with me, aren't you!
[Next is... Oh my, should I sneak a peek? I haven't seen it before. No, no, no, better not. That would be too weird.]
Qin Xian suddenly understood what Ji Fei meant by "weird."
When embarrassment reaches a certain level, you probably stop feeling it.
Moreover, they were married. Sooner or later, they would reach this stage.
But Qin Xian still inexplicably lost his composure. He felt his body stiffen and quickly moved away.
"I can handle the rest. You can go now."
[Eh? Tsk, that's right, we're only married in name. How could he be comfortable being naked in front of me? Hm? He seems very nervous. Should I tease him a bit? I could pretend to be helpful, tug a little, and then accidentally... Haha... I'm so bad.]
Qin Xian, red-faced, stood up, trying to appear calm. His voice was a bit hoarse as he said, "Don't you have a livestream to watch? You'd better go. Otherwise, you'll miss... the excitement."
[Ah? Right, the gossip! How could I forget? Has it started already? I've got to go! It's starting!]
Ji Fei immediately abandoned the bathroom Adonis. As she walked out, she said perfunctorily, "Don't let the wound get wet. I'll be right outside. Call me if you need anything!"
Then she ran out like the wind.
Looking at the closed door, Qin Xian didn't know whether to be relieved that he hadn't been awkwardly observed by someone, or to be exasperated that his wife cared more about gossip than about him.
What Qin Xian didn't know was that there was now a group of people crouching outside their door.
They were very concerned about the sounds from inside, but being far away and behind closed doors, they couldn't hear much of the inner thoughts.
Just as they were wondering if Ji Fei had started helping Qin Xian bathe, and if bathing might lead to...
Suddenly they heard Ji Fei's inner voice screaming.
[The beginning! What did they say at the beginning of the livestream? Let me check! They actually apologized together, saying the script was indeed chosen by them, it had nothing to do with their manager, and those marketing accounts were spreading rumors. Wow, you guys sure know how to bite the hand that feeds you!]
[Sun Mo and Xu Meng admitted they used to date! Impressive, are they for real?!]
The Qin family gossip-mongers: ?
Wait, livestream?
Their attention diverted, they all took out their phones, found places to sit, and started watching the livestream, enjoying the drama.
Family happiness? They'd worry about that later.
