The Fake Heiress's Inner Thoughts Were Heard by Her Entire Family

Jing Yi and Jing Zeyou were not the main focus of the ceremony, so despite the director's desire to cash in on the buzz, they didn't overdo it.

However, these few glimpses were enough for netizens to start speculating.

A rising star in the entertainment industry and a wealthy young princess? Hmm, quite the intriguing pair.

As a result, amidst the sea of comments, some fans began to ship them as a couple.

On the other side, Cheng Shu's gaze fell on the two of them. She couldn't help but feel that Lu Yichi was indeed lucky. Not only did he have Startrack backing him, but now he had also unexpectedly gained a boost in status.

The situation with Song Yuanye had caused quite a stir at the company. Cheng Shu understood that it must have been because Song Yuanye had offended someone he shouldn't have, which led to his rapid downfall.

Her own situation wasn't much better. After all, she had recently been promoting a couple image with him, so she was inevitably affected.

But, when it came down to it, Cheng Shu actually felt a bit grateful to Jing Yi. Her actions had given her a chance to catch her breath from this exhausting ordeal.

Should she start thinking about her next steps? Due to the recent hype, she hadn't been able to get her hands on any good scripts. So, she had tried to ride the coattails of a top-tier star. Now, though, the hype was there, but it wasn't quite what she had hoped for.

Cheng Shu drifted into a daze, her gaze still fixed on Jing Yi and Lu Yichi.

Jing Yi felt a gaze on her and turned to see the female artist who had been following Song Yuanye at the racetrack.

The other woman seemed surprised that Jing Yi had noticed her. Their eyes met, and the woman's expression betrayed a hint of panic.

Jing Yi's beautiful eyes curved into a smile, a friendly yet slightly mischievous smile.

Cheng Shu was momentarily stunned, then she smiled faintly and nodded slightly.

...

After the ceremony ended, Jing Yi's first order of business was to rush to the pre-booked restaurant to celebrate Jing Zejun's success with the Jing family.

Meanwhile, discussions about the Jing Yi and Lu Yichi couple began to quietly surface on Twitter.

By the time more netizens noticed, their couple even had a fan page.

['One Chi'? Is this couple too niche?]

[That was fast! It's only their first public appearance together, and they already have a fan page?]

[You can't deny, their looks are pretty compatible!]

[Ahhh! They look so perfect together!]

Perhaps mirroring their idols, Lu Yichi's fans didn't express too much opposition. After all, their idol had just shot to fame, and Jing Yi was the sister of their boss.

This situation seemed like a win-win, and some fans even subtly encouraged it.

However, many fans who had been shipping Jing Yi with others quickly caught wind and joined in.

[I refuse to accept! I've always shipped Wen Yin and Jing Yi! Don't two lively and cute kids deserve a couple fan page?]

[Sister, I have to say, your ship is a bit niche.]

[What's niche about it? Jing Yi and Wen Yin have been hanging out even after the show ended. Isn't that enough to ship?]

[Anyone else shipping the red-haired guy? I think he and Jing Yi would be a great match!]

[Me, me, me! Just imagining them racing together, it's perfect!]

Some slightly less niche couples:

[All you niche ships, step aside! Jing Yi and Jing Zejun are the real deal!]

[Jing Yi attended her award ceremony! What could be more genuine than that?]

[Em... while that's true, isn't it a bit... you know?]

[Well, if you insist, I've already set up a fan page for Jing Yi and the Big Boss Jing!]

[Hey, you don't need to do that. Just check out 'Midnight CP'.]

[Ah? That name is truly niche. I have a feeling you're using the car as a cover to avoid getting caught by Boss Jing!]

[Heh, our Jing Zeqian and Jing Yi thread is pretty popular!]

[Jing Zeqian is the boss of an entertainment company, you know. Aren't you afraid he'll shut down the fan page?]

Some netizens who caught wind of rumors:

[Is it possible that Jing Yi already has her own couple? Like a boyfriend with a title?]

[I heard from a gossip account that Jing Yi picks up her boyfriend after work.]

[I don't believe it! Either pick one of these ships, or I refuse to accept Jing Yi's couple is some random nobody!]

Gu Lin was having a field day, reading and even reciting the comments to Shen Huaichu.

"And this one, 'Fans of the nobody, please exit this discussion!' Hahahaha, nobody, hahahaha."

This was undoubtedly the funniest joke he'd heard all year, no contest!

Shen Huaichu, the 'legitimate partner' and 'nobody' who couldn't find it in himself to laugh: How did the whole world wake up wanting to steal Jing Yi from him?

Gu Lin's laughter grew louder, and Shen Huaichu glanced at him.

"Don't you have anything better to do? Is the investment department that idle? Need me to assign you more work?"

A triple whammy of questions!

Gu Lin's smile froze on his face. He silently put away his phone and the smile on his lips.

He knew, when someone was annoyed, they acted like this.

Not even three seconds of silence passed before Gu Lin's eyes darted around, his desire to watch the drama impossible to hide. "Brother, do you need me to set up a fan page for you?"

Shen Huaichu's expression remained cold. Gu Lin glanced at the pen in his brother's hand. If it weren't for the fact that he was gripping it so tightly, Gu Lin might have believed his brother didn't care.

Gu Lin shrugged, stood up, "Alright, alright, I was just trying to be helpful. If you don't need it, then forget it." After teasing his brother, Gu Lin left the office with a carefree air.

The next moment, Shen Huaichu picked up his phone and started browsing through the fan pages Gu Lin had mentioned. The more he looked, the darker his expression became.

There was even a fan page for Jing Yi and Jing Zeqian?! Wasn't that just too much?!

...

Jing Yi looked at the small mountain of various items beside her. T-shirts? Jackets? Hats? Bracelets? Even shoes?

What was this little thing? A phone charm?

"Do I have to wear all of this for our date today?" Shen Huaichu nodded seriously, "Last time we missed out because of your illness. This time, we'll make up for it all at once."

She didn't mind making up for it, but why did they have to wear exactly the same outfits?

Jing Yi looked at Shen Huaichu's current outfit, which was identical to the items he had brought. Even the phone charm was the same.

She picked up Shen Huaichu's phone, looking puzzled. "When did you start liking to hang things on your phone?" Shen Huaichu's expression was a bit unnatural, his gaze shifting. "It shows more importance to the date."

This was the result of Shen Huaichu's assistant's investigation. Apparently, many 'undercover couples' were exposed through matching outfits.

He looked at the items in front of him, his eyes filled with anticipation. Now, from head to toe, they were all matching. Surely, it would be easy for everyone to see they were a couple!

Jing Yi usually didn't refuse Shen Huaichu's little requests, and this time was no different. It also saved her the trouble of figuring out what to wear for their date.
