Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Wen Chi had just finished his rounds and was about to step into his office when he overheard a male doctor from the same department saying, “You should learn from Dr. Wen—marrying a celebrity means a life of luxury.”
The tone was sour. This doctor had previously been a candidate for a training opportunity along with Wen Chi but was ultimately not chosen. He felt resentful, believing that everyone favored Wen Chi and that all the good opportunities were handed to him. Now, with this chance to gossip, he couldn’t resist spreading the news.
Another doctor chimed in, “Yeah, do you know how much celebrities make? They can easily earn millions, which we could never make in several lifetimes.”
“Well, you don’t have Dr. Wen’s looks, do you?”
“Exactly! Dr. Wen is even more handsome than those male celebrities. It’s no wonder.”
Wen Chi couldn’t bear to listen any longer. He turned around and walked out to the balcony, taking a deep breath.
Being with Huanhuan meant dealing with a lot of gossip, but hearing it firsthand was still hard to accept.
However, his conscience was clear. They had never discussed financial matters. His salary was more than enough to support a family.
Gu Huanhuan came from a well-off family and never had to worry about money. She didn’t have much concept of it as someone else managed her finances, and she acted purely out of passion.
The cool breeze refreshed him, and thoughts of Huanhuan returning the day after tomorrow cheered him up. He decided to let go of all the negativity.
When Wen Chi stepped back into the office, everyone was busy with their work, as if the earlier conversation had never happened.
As others left for various reasons, Yu Li walked in and saw that Wen Chi was alone. Unable to resist, she approached him and asked, “Dr. Wen, that person in the photo is you, right? The entertainment industry is so chaotic. How do you know she’s sincere?”
The day the photo came out, Yu Li immediately recognized Gu Huanhuan. She could never mistake that tall figure beside her.
“Do you need something? I’m busy,” Wen Chi said, finding it annoying that everyone had something to say about his personal life.
It was clear he wanted her to leave, but Yu Li ignored it. She continued, “You might not like hearing this, but I have to say it. People say actors are heartless, that they just play around for fun. Think about it—there’s so much temptation in their world. We constantly hear about breakups and divorces in the news.”
“I love her, and that’s enough. Focus on your own work and don’t worry about my affairs,” Wen Chi replied sternly.
Normally calm, Wen Chi was deeply hurt and angered by anyone slandering Huanhuan.
Yu Li was startled by his tone, as if she was seeing him for the first time. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she quickly left after giving him one last look.
Wen Chi leaned back in his chair, feeling overwhelmed. Despite everyone’s doubts, he was determined to prove their love was unbreakable.
With a busy schedule and an upcoming surgery, Wen Chi threw himself into his work, confident that the rumors would fade over time.
Meanwhile, Gu Huanhuan was also hounded by reporters because of their relationship. Fortunately, she would be home the day after tomorrow. She had an awards ceremony to attend next, where “Meeting By Chance” had been nominated, and she was up for Best Actress.
