You're My Only Star

Chapter 181 - Trending News

The next morning, the moment Song Xing Xing stepped into the studio, Liu Yu Sheng pulled her to the side. From the look on her face, Song Xing Xing could see that her friend was in the mood to gossip.

"Yu Sheng, what's the matter with you?" Song Xing Xing asked before her friend could say a word.

"Xing Xing, yesterday, you leave a little later than everyone else, right?"

"Uh-huh." Song Xing Xing nodded.

Liu Yu Sheng grew excited. "Then, did you see anyone with President Lu?"

Song Xing Xing tilted her head and looked at her friend strangely. "There are a lot of people talking to President Lu last night. There were the producer and Director An as well."

Liu Yu Sheng waved her hand. "No. Not them. A girl. Xing Xing, did you see President Lu with a girl last night?"

Her heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, Song Xing Xing had a premonition.

Did Liu Yu Sheng saw something last night?

It couldn't be. Song Xing Xing was very sure that Liu Yu Sheng and the others had left before she met with Lu Xun in the lounge area.

"Xing Xing, haven't you seen the news?"

The question snapped her out of her trance. "What news?"

Liu Yu Sheng heaved a sigh. She fiddled with the phone in her hand and showed the news that she had seen earlier. "Last night, President Lu Xun was photographed with a girl. Xing Xing, look at this. Did you happen to see them last night?"

Her breath hitched as Song Xing Xing stared at the phone screen. 

The person in this photograph… Isn't this is her?

Last night, she had waited for Lu Xun at the lounge. Surprisingly, someone had photographed the two of them together. In this photograph, Lu Xun was seen hugging her tightly. 

A breath of relief escaped her once she saw this picture.

Because of their position and lighting, the photographer was unable to get a shot of her face. Only the shape of her body could be seen. The lighting also made it hard for them to see the color of her shirt. Or else, Liu Yu Sheng would be able to identify her. Even if her parents saw this picture, they would not be able to recognize her, right?

However, Lu Xun's face was very clear. It seemed that someone had deliberately targetted him. A face came to her mind and Song Xing Xing began to suspect that Lu Xun's ex-girlfriend might have her role in this.

"Sorry. I didn't see them." Song Xing Xing shook her head quickly.

Liu Yu Sheng heaved a disappointed sigh. She regained her spirits a while later and asked, "Xing Xing, who do you think is this girl? From the picture, it seemed that this is not just a rumor. I mean, look at the way they were hugging."

Song Xing Xing could no longer hear her friend's chattering voice. At this time, the only thing that she could think about was that she needed to talk to Lu Xun first.

…

NEXT Group Headquarters.

Special Assistant Bei Yuan's face turned pale as he saw the trending news. Unfortunately for him, it was a little too late when Bei Yuan saw this news. The news had spread widely and there were already a lot of people talking about his boss.

The netizen was now discussing the identity of the girl. Some of them were guessing at her background and with that, there were people who were talking badly about her. 

Bei Yuan was aware that for Miss Song's sake, the two of them were hiding their relationship. If someone figured out the identity of Miss Song, then it will only be troublesome for the couple. Bei Yuan was unable to decide on what he should do.

Taking a deep breath, Bei Yuan knocked on his boss's door and entered. 

Bei Yuan could see how her boss's expression slowly turned darker as he listened to his briefing.

Lu Xun stared at the news for a long time. After a while, his lips curled up into a smile.

Bei Yuan saw this smile and thought that the look on his boss's face was a little scary. The air around the room was stifling and his body started to shiver. After receiving his boss's instruction, Bei Yuan left the room quickly to make his escape.

Lu Xun was in deep thought after watching the news. He refused to believe that it was a coincidence for the reporter to photograph the picture. Fortunately, Song Xing Xing's face could not be seen.

An e-mail arrived in his inbox. Seeing that it was from Bei Yuan, Lu Xun quickly read the mail. His eyes narrowed as he saw the report.

Just as he had expected. The person who had leaked the news to the reporter was no other than Shi An Na. 

His eyes narrowed dangerously as Lu Xun tried to guess at Shi An Na's intention. If he had guessed it right, Shi An Na had probably provoked Song Xing Xing and said something like he was not serious with their relationship. 

In the past, Lu Xun would quickly deny his relationship with other women once they were on the news. He would not even let the news stay in trending news for more than a few hours. Perhaps, Shi An Na was waiting for him to do the same to Song Xing Xing. She was testing him.

Once he had denied his relationship, his girlfriend would think that he was not serious with her. However, he did not want this kind of misunderstanding. 

Song Xing Xing had become a very important person in his heart. He wanted to let others know that he was dating her. However, because of her family background, Song Xing Xing wanted to keep their relationship a secret for a while.

His phone on the table rang. The moment he saw the name in the caller ID, the cold look in his gaze quickly disappeared. Lu Xun picked up the phone and spoke, "Xing Xing?"

"Un. Did you see the news?" 

"I did. Don't worry. I will handle this quickly."

"I know. I trust you."

There was a long silence between them before Lu Xun spoke again. "Xing Xing, do you mind if I did not ask the media to delete the news?"

"Why? What are you planning to do?" Song Xing Xing grew anxious as she thought that her parents were going to hear the news of her relationship through the news.

"I don't want to deny that I am in a relationship," Lu Xun said. "I am dating you. It wouldn't be right to deny this fact. It isn't fair to you. However, you can be at ease. I won't let them know of your identity. I just wanted them to know that I am dating someone. Xing Xing, do you trust me?"

Her heartbeat accelerated as she heard his words. After pondering his words for a while, she then answered, "Alright. I know. You can handle this the way you see fit.. I trust you."
