“Miss Lu, can you explain your relationship with Bai Mu Ye?”
“Miss Lu, The Qin Empire has been boycotted by fans . As major investor, do you consider to change a male lead?”
The questions above are easier to answer compared to more sharp-worded ones like:
“Miss Lu, each month you have a new lover . Is a few months’ joy really worth several hundred million?”
“Is Bai Mu Ye such a talented lover that you are willing to spend a fortune on him?”
“Miss Lu . . . ”
Ah Zhao remains calm .
She doesn’t answer any of those questions but makes a gesture .
At that, her all-powerful assistant Xiao Guan appears out of nowhere and passes her a brand-new microphone .
Holding the microphone, she opens her mouth: “I know you guys have a lot of questions but I’m in a bit of a hurry and don’t have time to respond one by one . Now, let me answer all your questions in a short statement . First, about investment . Lu Corporation has always been generous with films with high potential . I think The Qin Empire is worth it . As for a hundred million versus ten hundred million . . . ”
With a slight smile, she continues: “It doesn't make much of a difference to me . ”
Reporters: “ . . . ” Ostentatious!
Calmly showing off her wealth, Ah Zhao speaks again: “Second, about fans’ reaction . The success of a film depends on its quality, which is the responsibility of the director and producer . I trust Director Zheng and I believe he will give us a good film . Let’s give it time . Third, about my relationship with Mu Ye . . . ”
Everything around her turns quiet . All reporters are waiting for an answer, a scope .
Deliberately, Ah Zhao pauses for a moment to build up suspense before she grins and says: “I want to make it clear that he isn't my lover . It isn’t a monetary relationship . ”
Reporters who are waiting for a scope explode:
“What do you mean by that, Miss Lu? You guys have been filmed having dinner together . What do you say about that?”
“Miss Lu, I’ve heard that you added a hundred million investment in order for Bai Mu Ye to join the cast of The Qin Empire . If there's nothing between you guys, why did you do that?”
“Miss Lu, have you broken up with Bai Mu Ye?”
“ . . . ”
Bai Mu Ye's brows draw in a tight line at this part of the video .
Gulping down half a bottle of water, he can feel his heart starts to beat faster .
The video keeps playing . Judging from its title, he thinks he know what Ah Zhao is going to say .
As expected, the next moment, the grin on her face turns sweeter .
It almost seems a bit childish .
The video is again quiet because of how beautiful she is at the moment .
“Bai Mu Ye is not my lover . He is my boyfriend . It isn't a one-month relationship, nor several-month . We are in a serious relationship and want to get married . Mu Ye will stay with me for the rest of my life . . . ”
She blinks at the camera and finishes her sentence: “He is my soul mate . ”
The screen turns black as the video ends suddenly .
Bai Mu Ye clicks and watches it again .
With his heart pounding so fast, he opens his mouth in order to breathe better . Finally, he can't help himself and starts laughing .
