CHAPTER 78
Qin Yinong and Tang Ruoyao didn't hear the director call for the scene to end. Even though this part of the script had already passed, they maintained their professionalism and continued to perform diligently.
Qin Yinong was on the verge of losing balance. Her arm, which was wrapped around Tang Ruoyao's neck, felt weak and limp as it rested on her shoulder. It was only with Tang Ruoyao's half-support, half-embrace that she managed to maintain some semblance of balance, almost like a koala clinging to a tree.
Tang Ruoyao briefly separated from her, took a breath, and kissed her again with renewed passion.
Their breaths became long and short.
The long breaths were when their entanglement reached its peak, causing their scalps to tingle, every cell in their bodies trembling, and their only desire was to be even closer, inseparable, forgetting even to breathe.
The short breaths were the brief moments when they would draw in fresh air, as if the world would end in the next second, and they had to kiss with all their might.
Qin Yinong let out a low hum, loosening her grip on the fabric before tightening it again. Tang Ruoyao found her other hand, slipping her fingers into the gaps between Qin Yinong's, and their hands intertwined and pressed against the desk.
The blank spaces in their minds grew, as rationality was shattered by emotions, propelling them forward second by second...
The emotion piling up in Tang Ruoyao's heart were on the verge of exploding. Whether it was her or Han Zifei, they both couldn't wait to prove to Qin Yinong just how intense their love was.
She retreated from Qin Yinong's lips, lightly pecking them, as if she couldn't get enough.
With her eyes filled with affection, she lowered her head to look at the woman in her embrace.
Qin Yinong's deep and mysterious eyes were veiled with a thin layer of shimmering light, creating a hazy and unconscious look. Her lips were slightly swollen, her chest heaving dramatically, still not fully recovering from the intensity of the previous moments.
Sensing the other's departure, Qin Yinong's eyes flickered gently, showing an instinctive inclination to move closer. But she suppressed it with her willpower.
Tang Ruoyao's eyes were dark.
She held the woman's hand again and buried her face, kissing the back of her hand relentlessly. It went on and on, lingering on the corners of her lips, cheeks, exhibiting self-control, yet resembling a patient hunter, silently waiting.
Qin Yinong was lifted by Tang Ruoyao onto the desk, feeling a warm sensation behind her ear.
Her scalp tingled, and she clenched her teeth to suppress the sound that was about to escape. Finally, unable to hold back any longer, she took the initiative to stop. With one hand, she pushed away the increasingly impulsive Tang Ruoyao and turned her head towards the director, Han Yuping.
Behind the monitor, Han Yuping and the on-site screenwriter were discussing something, their heads lowered, completely oblivious to the camera.
Qin Yinong suppressed her anger, took a deep breath, and raised her voice, "Director Han, is it over yet?"
Han Yuping raised his head, his face filled with confusion, "Huh?"
Qin Yinong jumped off the desk, her legs going weak and almost stumbling. She steadied herself, using the still-in-character Tang Ruoyao as a makeshift crutch. She abandoned the idea of walking over and gritted her teeth, saying, "Did we finish the scene or not?"
Han Yuping furrowed his brow and casually replied, "I'll check in a moment."
So, they hadn't even checked yet?
Qin Yinong was infuriated.
"Director Han!" she dragged her "semi-paralyzed" body over and interrogated him from a superior position, "Why didn't you call cut?" Don't you dare tell her it was for fun, or she would start a big argument with the producer and Han Yuping.
Han Yuping was bewildered by her anger, but he had already noticed her unsteady walk. He said, "Sit."
Immediately, a crew member brought a chair for Qin Yinong.
Qin Yinong calmly sat down, arms folded, and smirked, "You better give me a proper reason."
Han Yuping looked at her with an incredulous expression, probably implying, "Are you okay?" He scanned her up and down and pointed at the playback that had just been opened, saying, "I felt that this part was good, and I thought maybe we could add something."
Qin Yinong was taken aback, "Add something?"
Han Yuping patiently explained to her.
Tang Ruoyao, after going through the initial trance-like stage, silently stood behind Qin Yinong and listened.
Qin Yinong turned her head and glanced at her indifferently.
In the early stages of script development, the creative team had different perspectives on the intimate scene. Some believed it was necessary, while others thought it wasn't. The love between the two characters didn't necessarily have to go through this step. Without the scene, their love would appear purer, showcasing Shen Muqing's struggle and conservatism in this forbidden relationship. She was not entirely liberated, even though her heart belonged to the other person, she still adhered to societal norms. However, later on, they reached a consensus and decided to include the scene.
The mutual attraction between lovers is not only shown through emotions but also through physical desire. For a couple deeply in love, it is natural for something to happen when they go on a trip together. Taking Shen Muqing's character into account, although she is conservative and hesitant, her love for Han Zifei is equally passionate, and she deeply cherishes him. It's just that she restrains herself due to societal pressures. In a place where no one knows them, surrendering herself aligns with her character's choices.
From the later stages of the script, the sweeter the relationship, the more bitter it become in the future. Perhaps all writers have a sadistic side, and Chai Ziqiu insisted on including this intimate scene from the beginning.
Since it was necessary, as Han Yuping continued to watch, he wondered if they should set up some context beforehand.
Qin Yinong frowned, "Context?"
Han Yuping said, "Yes, the original idea wasn't just about Han Zifei expressing her feelings for Shen Muqing. I wanted her to let go a bit during this scene, overcome her internal conflicts, and make a bold move. On one hand, you desires it, but you also has reservations. In the end, you pushes her away, creating a contrasting juxtaposition with the honeymoon scene."
"Couldn't you have mentioned it earlier?" Qin Yinong practically squeezed out these words through her gritted teeth.
"It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. How could I have mentioned it earlier?" Han Yuping said with a straight face.
Qin Yinong choked on her words.
Han Yuping thought about something, his expression slightly easing, and said, "Do you also have this thought? I find that the second half of the performance aligns well with my expectations, but there are some flaws. The eye acting is not enough, too immersed, lacking struggle."
He glanced at Tang Ruoyao behind her, made a sound of acknowledgement, and objectively commented, "Ruoyao's performance is quite good."
Tang Ruoyao awkwardly smiled.
She couldn't control herself at all and felt unworthy to receive such praise.
Han Yuping turned back and said to Qin Yinong, "You have to work harder. Don't let the younger generation surpass you."
Qin Yinong gritted her teeth inwardly and said, "I will."
Han Yuping nodded in agreement.
Qin Yinong leaned over and whispered to Han Yuping in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Director Han, I now want to play the role of Han Zifei. Is it still possible?"
Han Yuping immediately furrowed his brows in anger.
Qin Yinong quickly laughed it off and said, "Just kidding."
Han Yuping impatiently waved his hand, dismissing her like swatting a fly. "Go play somewhere else. Don't bother me. I'll call you when there's something to discuss." He paused, glanced at her back and forth, and disdainfully remarked, "You're thirty years old. Why are you pretending to be young?"
This statement wasn't said quietly, and the people around them all heard it.
Tang Ruoyao couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Pfft."
Han Yuping and Qin Yinong looked over at the same time, and Tang Ruoyao quickly closed her mouth and lowered her head.
Qin Yinong walked away with frustration, followed by a tag-along not too far behind, like a shadow. Qin Yinong turned her head with an unpleasant expression, and the tag-along sensed the danger and ran away.
Qin Yinong, angry and no longer wearing a smile on her usually gentle face, shouted angrily, "Stop right there!"
Tang Ruoyao changed direction and jogged to stand in front of Qin Yinong.
Qin Yinong crossed her arms and gave her a cold, mocking smile.
Tang Ruoyao stood her ground, with a stiff posture resembling a well-behaved student being scolded.
She had become bolder recently, but that didn't mean she would dare to act carefree when Qin Yinong was angry. Her survival instinct was strong. In Tang Ruoyao's impression, Qin Yinong rarely got angry. She usually had a smiling face when meeting people. This was the first time it was so evident since they started filming.
It was because of her.
Tang Ruoyao's character had been tempered, and she unexpectedly felt a hint of sweetness, which was revealed in her eyes.
Qin Yinong, being a perceptive person, even though Tang Ruoyao quickly concealed it when she sensed something was wrong, still caught on to it.
"Why are you laughing?" Her voice became even colder.
Tang Ruoyao's heart skipped a beat, and she stammered, "I-I wasn't..."
Qin Yinong didn't know if she was getting angry out of embarrassment, or if it was because Tang Ruoyao's boundary-crossing behavior had offended her, or for some other reason she wasn't clear about. Faced with the meek but seemingly scheming Tang Ruoyao, an impulse drove her to do something that caught everyone off guard.
She took a step forward, approaching Tang Ruoyao, and tilted her head to bite onto Tang Ruoyao's fair ear, flicking her earlobe with her tongue.
Caught off guard, Tang Ruoyao fell into her embrace and let out a muffled moan.
Tang Ruoyao had only just touched her before she had a chance to react, when Qin Yinong pushed her away. However, Qin Yinong forcefully held the back of her head and pressed her face against her neck, muffling both her voice and struggling.
The whole scene fell silent.
Guan Han quickly reacted and tried to intervene, but as a lone person, she was helpless and couldn't stop the gazes coming from all directions.
Xin Qian jumped up and rushed over from a distance to protect Tang Ruoyao.
The onsite screenwriter patted Han Yuping's shoulder, who was focused on watching the playback. Han Yuping didn't even turn his head, asking, "What's wrong?"
The screenwriter's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement, "Quick, take a look!"
Only then did Han Yuping reluctantly turn his head.
Han Yuping: "!!!"
What the hell was Qin Yinong, this old dog, doing?!
In broad daylight, right in front of everyone, openly harassing her acting partner! How could this be tolerated?
Damn bastard!
Han Yuping quickly stood up, not even bothering to watch the playback, and strode over in large steps.
Qin Yinong let go of Tang Ruoyao's ear.
Tang Ruoyao slumped in her embrace, not moving. She didn't even lift her face, breathing heavily, gasping for air, and even coughed twice in her distress.
Qin Yinong had initially intended to push her away, but seeing her in this state, afraid that she would collapse to the ground once he let go, she held her with one arm and looked around for a place to sit.
Xin Qian rushed over in a hurry, observing her artist who seemed to be willingly leaning on Qin Yinong without any sign of coercion. The situation became instantly confusing. Should she rush forward or not?
Guan Han, seeing Xin Qian blocking her way, had an icy expression on her face. She gave Xin Qian a signal, and obediently, Xin Qian stepped back. After stepping back, Xin Qian realized how easily she followed the instructions of Qin Yinong's assistant. She quickly positioned herself by Tang Ruoyao's side, even if the intimidating presence of the assistant with the surname Qin was terrifying, she didn't take another step back.
When they reached a suitable spot, Guan Han hurried a few steps, brought over a chair, and Xin Qian followed suit.
Both of them eventually sat down.
Han Yuping also arrived.
Han Yuping was furious, and he unleashed his words at Qin Yinong, "What do you think you're doing?!"
Qin Yinong casually replied, "Acting."
Han Yuping asked, "Acting for what?"
Qin Yinong shrugged, nonchalantly and with a fake innocence, "The scene you just mentioned. Miss Tang asked me to teach her."
Her acting skills were impeccable. When it came to performing, not only did she manage to confuse Han Yuping to some extent, but she also successfully transformed most of the anger on his face into suspicion.
He thought for a moment and then turned to Tang Ruoyao, who had been nestling in Qin Yinong's arms like an ostrich, and asked, "Is that true, Xiao Tang?"
If Tang Ruoyao had really been mistreated, he would definitely seek justice for her.
Tang Ruoyao, who was called out, raised her flushed face and nodded reluctantly, acting as an accomplice.
Qin Yinong raised an eyebrow at Han Yuping as if to say, "See, that's how it is."
Han Yuping looked at one person and then another, realizing the importance of the playback. He gave Qin Yinong a fierce glare and left.
With the situation resolved, Tang Ruoyao couldn't continue to feign distress and slowly straightened up. Her cheeks were still flushed, and she lowered her head, silently looking at the ground.
Qin Yinong felt a bit of regret, but time couldn't be reversed. She noticed Tang Ruoyao's sidelong glance and forcefully pinched her index finger with her thumb. She stared ahead, pretending to intimidate her, and said, "If you dare to mess around again, I'll do the same thing to you like I did today!"
"I won't dare." Tang Ruoyao whispered insincerely.
She practically wished for it, hoping that Qin Yinong would return everything to her.
Qin Yinong awkwardly made up for herself and ran out of lines. She decided to stay silent.
Tang Ruoyao, being obedient, also kept quiet.
She was reminiscing, taking advantage of the fact that the incident had just happened and her memories were still fresh.
She leaned against the wall, feeling uneasy for a while, and then shifted her long legs uncomfortably, changing her sitting position. Soon, her ears tingled with a peculiar sensation, and she discreetly looked towards Qin Yinong beside her. Qin Yinong turned her face and their eyes met.
Tang Ruoyao's heart tightened, and she hurriedly lowered her eyelashes.
Qin Yinong blinked and thought to herself, "Why are you so flustered?"
They didn't speak, but the set became abuzz with whispers.
In a situation where the camera wasn't facing them, Qin Yinong publicly kissed Tang Ruoyao in front of everyone, even on her ear, tightly holding onto her, which was enough to become the most explosive news of the night.
The explanation of their scripted scene was not heard by others, and even if they did hear it, it couldn't stop their wild speculations. Coupled with Qin Yinong's notorious reputation, the rumors quickly changed."Qin Yinong is too audacious. Even on the set, she openly kisses the lead actress?"
"Tsk, she's the producer. Isn't it easy for her to take advantage of a small actress according to the unwritten rules?"
"Isn't Tang Ruoyao a small actress?"
"That depends on who you compare her to. Compared to Qin, the top actress, she's just a small actress, right? It's no wonder Qin took on the role of a producer herself. She must have been waiting for this opportunity. Even Han, the director, can't control her."
"Don't think of Tang Ruoyao as too innocent and pure. How many clean people are there in the industry? The only difference is the number of people they sleep with. Look at how she doesn't even resist, does it look like she's unwilling?"
"Maybe the two of them have already colluded secretly. Tsk tsk, let's just enjoy the show."
.....
And this premonition came true two days later.
In fact, this matter was nothing new to Qin Yinong. Every time she filmed a new movie, new scandals would emerge. Sometimes there would be more than one, involving multiple actors, and even directors. In the entertainment media's eyes, Qin Yinong was known for being "open to all ages and genders." Over the years, the media had earned a considerable amount of money by fabricating scandals about her.
However, this time, the other protagonist was Tang Ruoyao.
The marketing claimed that, according to insiders' revelations, Qin Yinong and her new co-star were being affectionate and intimate on set, accompanied by concrete evidence. The marketing campaign didn't explicitly mention the new co-star, but almost everyone knew that Tang Ruoyao was currently Qin Yinong's acting partner, and they were filming a sensitive same-sex-themed movie.
Han Yuping's set wasn't a place just anyone could enter, but it wasn't overly strict that set photos leaking out would be considered unusual.
The informant clearly had a strong grasp of the situation. Although the photos were not in high definition, they were clear enough to identify Qin Yinong and Tang Ruoyao.
Qin Yinong was friendly on set. At the beginning, Tang Ruoyao didn't get too immersed in the role, maintaining a genuine colleague relationship. The two of them had friendly interactions, often sitting together to discuss the script, with a plate of fruit prepared by an assistant nearby.
The photo was a candid shot, capturing the moment when both of them reached for fruit from the same plate. Their fingertips accidentally touched, and they simultaneously looked up, locking eyes and gazing at each other.
The timing of the candid shot was just right, capturing the subtle emotions, fleeting avoidance, and uneasiness in their eyes.
Internet users eagerly commented, believing that it was indeed real!
Tang Ruoyao long-pressed and saved the photo, even considering asking Mu Qingwu to find out which paparazzo provided it and if there were any others. She wanted to buy them as keepsakes. But it was just a passing thought. If Mu Qingwu knew about her idea, she would definitely twist her head off.
Since Tang Ruoyao debuted, the least of her scandals has been rumors. Anyone who showed signs of it was quickly shut down by An Ling. The last one was You Mingxuan, a once-popular leading actor who almost disappeared from the public eye after getting involved with Tang Ruoyao. For those in the industry who were itching to bind her for publicity, it was a futile attempt.
So when she found out about the rumors with Qin Yinong, she was genuinely surprised. Mu Qingwu was also taken aback, but she couldn't just be surprised; she immediately went to verify the information.
Tang Ruoyao was fully focused on filming on the set, completely indifferent. Who had the time to spread rumors about her?
Moreover, for someone like Tang Ruoyao, a resourceful and talented actress, these baseless "black materials" were nothing significant enough to reach her team. They had no real impact on her, so Mu Qingwu was genuinely puzzled.
Tang Ruoyao knew this wasn't just a rumor, but she was also confident that Qin Yinong wouldn't let any genuine damaging information fall into someone else's hands. Otherwise, what was the point of her being so cautious for the past four years?
While she couldn't figure it out, Mu Qingwu still had to clarify things for Tang Ruoyao. After Tang Ruoyao's public relations were handed over to Mu Qingwu, the emphasis was on swift and decisive action. So, on the first day of the trending topic, Tang Ruoyao's management company, Star Media, issued a stamped statement and a lawyer's letter, firmly declaring that Tang Ruoyao and senior Qin Yinong were merely colleagues. They urged netizens not to spread rumors, stating that the company would use legal means to protect the artist's reputation.
Naturally, Tang Ruoyao's fans were relieved and celebrated together. Then, with full confidence, they went to various marketing accounts to debunk the rumors.
Qin Yinong's team, as usual, had no response at all. Just like with every previous scandal, they remained immovable.
In theory, the matter should have ended there. After Mu Qingwu clarified things, she put the incident behind her. However, she never expected to fall into a trap this time and end up in a passive situation.
The second wave of revelations came.
Once again, Qin Yinong and Tang Ruoyao were the main characters.
Photos of Qin Yinong kissing Tang Ruoyao on set were released. These photos were not as clear as the previous ones, but the content was more provocative than just sitting together and discussing.
The marketing account posted a video. Due to the blurry pixels and dark lighting, the brightness of the video was increased, and close-up shots of both of them were posted on the side to help netizens identify them.
The video clearly showed their height, facial features, body shape, and silhouettes matching those of Qin Yinong and Tang Ruoyao.
The only flaw was the angle, it didn't capture a frontal shot of Qin Yinong kissing Tang Ruoyao, only a side view.
Internet users were thrilled, exclaiming how exciting this gossip was. It attracted many fans who were emotionally invested in this real and genuine CP (couple pairing). After all, who doesn't enjoy seeing two beautiful actresses falling in love?
While seizing the opportunity, Mu Qingwu ordered professional water armies to counter the rumors. They either directly denied that the two people in the photos were Qin Yinong and Tang Ruoyao or claimed it was a visual misunderstanding. They insisted that Qin Yinong was just talking to Tang Ruoyao and not allowing her to get too close. After all, do they live in the Pacific Ocean that they need so much personal space?
Meanwhile, Mu Qingwu quickly made a phone call to Tang Ruoyao and asked in a stern voice, "Did she really kiss you?"
Tang Ruoyao used Qin Yinong's nonsensical excuse to stall, saying, "We were just acting in a scene together during that time."
Mu Qingwu sighed and rubbed her forehead, frustrated. "You let someone kiss your ear while acting! And for so long!"
Tang Ruoyao mumbled and pretended to be innocent. "I made a mistake, okay? How was I supposed to know it would be exposed?" She quickly changed the subject. "Have you found out who did it?"
As soon as Mu Qingwu heard that, she became even more troubled. "No."
Tang Ruoyao blinked in surprise.
According to reason, her competitors at her level were also in the same tier. Even someone like Qin Yinong, who stood at the pinnacle of the entertainment industry, didn't consider her worth her attention. It was unlikely that anyone would bother to smear her.
Why couldn't they find out?
Unless...
A cold light flashed in Tang Ruoyao's eyes.
Mu Qingwu's words interrupted her thoughts. "Think carefully. Is there anything that could be used against you?"
Tang Ruoyao pondered for a moment and replied, "There shouldn't be."
The hired water army on the other side was obviously skilled, and there were also ignorant onlookers who were fanning the flames. Mu Qingwu was constantly monitoring the online public opinion, busy to the point of being overwhelmed. She was about to burst into flames, and in her haste and frustration, she blurted out, "Did she kiss you anywhere else?!"
Tang Ruoyao's ears tingled.
During the night scene that night, they had re-shot a particular scene according to Han Yuping's idea. Tang Ruoyao's actions were driven by emotion and not limited to mere formality, while Qin Yinong passively endured. It was only at a critical moment that she pushed her away.
Whether that specific shot would be used in the final cut was still uncertain, but Han Yuping had prepared it. They would decide which version to edit based on the overall effect.
After the shoot, Tang Ruoyao had been eagerly anticipating that Qin Yinong would stay true to her word and "return" to her. But her hope was ultimately in vain.
Mu Qingwu said, "Speak up."
Tang Ruoyao snapped back to reality and pursed her lips. "There's nothing else, just that one time."
Mu Qingwu confirmed with her, "Are you sure?"
Tang Ruoyao asserted, "I'm sure." Could she really forget something like that? She remembered it clearly in her notes.
Mu Qingwu felt relieved and said, "Then let me handle the busy work for you. Be cautious on set, don't get too close to Qin Yinong, given her tarnished reputation..." Mu Qingwu recalled the unpleasant incident in the rest area last time because of Qin Yinong and gave Tang Ruoyao a thinly veiled warning. After a pause, she spoke gently, "Although we don't know if it's true or false, that's how it's being spread outside. Just be a bit more cautious."
Tang Ruoyao acknowledged with an "Mm".
But the information went in one ear and out the other.
She wasn't afraid of rumors with Qin Yinong. Although same-sex rumors could be very damaging to an artist's career, that was only if they turned out to be true. Even if her relationship with Qin Yinong was close, she could explain it as friendship, especially since they were colleagues playing a couple on set. As long as she didn't admit anything, the media wouldn't be able to dig up anything substantial.
She would continue as she had been. However, for the sake of Mu Qingwu's sanity, she would talk to Director Han about the leaked set photos and strengthen security measures on set to prevent a second incident from happening.
With Mu Qingwu's efforts, the attention around the on-set kiss video finally subsided, and the interest of netizens shifted to the next hot topic. Before Mu Qingwu could even breathe a sigh of relief, the third wave of revelations came.
This time, it was surveillance footage from a hotel corridor.
At four in the morning, Qin Yinong and Tang Ruoyao were seen "sweetly embracing" in the corridor, as if they were about to enter their bridal chamber at any moment.
Mu Qingwu's vision went black for a moment.
How could this be explained?
Should they say that they woke up at four in the morning to rehearse their scenes? Wow, that would be incredibly dedicated! Tang Ruoyao could say that, but would netizens believe such an absurd reason?
Tang Ruoyao received a phone call and, for the first time since changing managers, she was greeted with a barrage of scolding.
Mu Qingwu spoke each word with gritted teeth, "What the hell are you doing on the set?!" She was furious and said, "Did you completely ignore everything I say? I asked you to keep your distance from her, but instead, you're meeting privately in the corridor in the middle of the night!"
Tang Ruoyao remained silent.
Mu Qingwu's anger came and went quickly. She loved Tang Ruoyao like her own child. After venting her anger, she softened her voice and asked, "What's exactly happened?"
Tang Ruoyao still remained silent.
She couldn't tell the truth.
Mu Qingwu pressed her hand to her chest, feeling exasperated. She couldn't ignore the situation either. She took a step back and asked, "Did you go into her room?"
"No."
"Did she come into your room?"
"No, after that, we both went back to our rooms shortly."
Mu Qingwu said, "You're lucky to have a bit of common sense. If you had actually gone in, it would be impossible to explain. I'm at the airport right now, I'll come over to your place immediately, and then we can check the hotel surveillance footage to clarify things."
There was no trace of ease in her words. The surveillance footage could only clarify that nothing happened between the two of them that night, but it couldn't explain why they were embracing in the middle of the night, especially when connected to the second wave of kissing videos. It confirmed that their relationship was more than just simple colleagues.
The first statement released by Star Media had already been refuted.
"You..." Mu Qingwu pinched her brow and sighed. "Don't respond to anything. Wait for me to come, then we'll talk."
She hung up the phone.
Tang Ruoyao furrowed her brows slowly. The first, second, and third waves of revelations were precise and well-timed. There must be a mastermind behind it all, and not just an ordinary one.
Mu Qingwu couldn't find the originator of these leaks. The sophisticated methods pointed towards a certain direction, especially with the last wave of revelations, confirming Tang Ruoyao's speculation.
The leakage of the hotel surveillance footage had happened for the second time.
Tang Ruoyao narrowed her eyes.
If her guess was correct, this highly publicized same-sex scandal wasn't targeted at her at all. It was...
"It's aimed at me." On the set, within the large and luxurious rest area, a heavy atmosphere hung in the air, and everyone present fell silent. Qin Yinong, who had always brushed things off with a smile, coldly threw away the phone handed to her by her assistant and spoke with an icy tone.
Even Guan Han, in such a situation, dared not speak.
She had never seen Qin Yinong show her anger so clearly on her face.
She was furious.
Because the one currently involved in the scandal with her was Tang Ruoyao, the Tang Ruoyao she had painstakingly protected and held dearly in her heart.
She could dismiss everything else, including herself, but not Tang Ruoyao.
Guan Han's emotions began to surge, but she didn't understand what she was hoping for.
"Guan Han."
When Guan Han heard Qin Yinong calling her, she immediately responded, "Here."
Qin Yinong said, "Call An Ling."
Guan Han involuntarily lowered her voice and almost cautiously asked, "What should I say?"
Qin Yinong lifted her gaze, and for the first time, a cold gleam flashed in her calm eyes. She enunciated each word, "I want to clarify things. I want the people behind this to pay the price."
